Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

At 20:45 local time in Paris, the first leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League 1/8 knockout round between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea officially started!

As the first two Champions League quarter-finals to start this year, Paris Saint-Germain faces Chelsea and Manchester City faces Barcelona at home, both of which attract the attention of fans.

Of course, as far as Europe is concerned, the game between Manchester City and Barcelona is naturally a more popular focus battle.

The combined value of these two teams is not only higher than that of Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.

Guardiola's Manchester City vs. Barcelona is far more interesting than the grudge battle between Li Ang and 272.

After expanding the viewing angle to a global scale, with the participation of fans from East Asia and China, the attention of Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea has taken the lead.

Even after 3 a.m. East Asia time, there are still a large number of fans looking forward to Li Ang's appearance in the Champions League knockout rounds.

This Champions League knockout round is of extraordinary significance to both Li Ang and his followers.

This is the first trip to the Champions League knockout rounds that he has led alone since leaving Real Madrid, and it is also a battle to clear his name.

No matter how well you perform in the league, no matter how many strong Premier League teams you defeat, there will eventually be rumors surrounding Li Ang.

Now let's use the tough battles in the Champions League to further prove our strength. It just so happens that the opponent's team also has the old enemy who was the most difficult to deal with when he was at Real Madrid.

Such a scene and such a game background will undoubtedly satisfy many Chinese fans.

Because only such a Champions League knockout match was needed, Li Ang defeated his original opponent face to face and led the team to defeat last season's Champions League semi-finals Paris Saint-Germain.

That result is more convincing than the good words his fans have said for him ten, a hundred, or a thousand times!

Of course, this is also the perspective of many very confident Li Ang fans looking at this Champions League knockout match.

From Li Ang's point of view, he just wants to win simply, that's all!

Win 272 and lead the team to win against Paris Saint-Germain!

He doesn't need to prove himself to anyone anymore, he just wants to personally tear off the proud coat that 272 has been wearing for so many years.

He knows that history has proven to him that Real Madrid with 272 members cannot accomplish the miracles of honor they have accomplished in the past two years.

But now there are always some arguments that if Li Ang in the past two years is replaced by 272, Real Madrid may still be able to achieve the great feat of winning six crowns and defending the Champions League.

Li Ang originally didn't want to respond to these weird media opinions, but 272 believed it, and his father who ruined his career believed it even more.

Just two days before the war started, 272’s father claimed in an interview with French media:

Li Ang went through the back door and squeezed out Mourinho to get the 272 assists title in Europe.

Therefore, Li Ang also took away the honor and reputation that should have belonged to 272.

Such a stupid argument not only made Li Ang further feel that there was something wrong with 272 and his father's brains, but also completely offended Mourinho.

The key is that what they said has aroused heated discussion and recognition among a large number of fans in the football world.

Although there were no local Real Madrid fans in Spain to join in.

However, some local fans who claimed to be loyal fans of Real Madrid expressed their support on the Internet 272, and they all became disgusted with Li Ang.

Therefore, Li Ang also chose to make trouble directly at the pre-match ceremony, saying that he wanted to treat 272 to drink Lafite!

Yes, 272 still doesn’t know what this sentence means.

But Li Ang believes that 272 will understand after these two rounds of knockout rounds.

And he will always remember what Li Ang said to him today...

※※※

In the noisy match scene, Paris Saint-Germain, who took the first kick off, began to press hard on Chelsea without any ceremony!

Just looking at the strength of the lineup on paper, Paris does have the ability to compete with Chelsea in the opening tempo.

Their front three is Lavezzi, Higuain and Lucas Moura.

The midfield trio is 272, Verratti and the trailing Motta.

On the defense, the starting combination of Maxwell, Thiago Silva, Alex and Van de Velde is also strong enough.

On the bench, Paris Saint-Germain also sits on top football players such as Cabaye, Pastore and Mene.

When it comes to technical and offensive abilities, Paris Saint-Germain will never be afraid of Chelsea.

What Blanco wants to do is to bring the game into the rhythm that Paris Saint-Germain is familiar with as soon as possible.

Paris Saint-Germain is good at speeding up the attack and advancing quickly from both wings.

If Chelsea are willing to play against Paris Saint-Germain today, then Blanc's tactics will work.

What he fears is that Mourinho will forcefully slow down the pace of the game and then let Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea fight a positional battle.

In other words, any coach who has studied Chelsea's performance in previous games will not think of playing a positional battle with Chelsea.

That is simply sacrificing the advantage of their game on the difficult track that Chelsea excels at.

Will Mourinho let Blanco get his wish?

The answer was revealed when Li Ang directed his teammates in front and behind him to actively meet the pressure and defense of Paris!

Chelsea will not sit back at halftime today. They must seize Paris Saint-Germain's offensive and defensive transition opportunities. They must actively control the rhythm of the game!

When seeing this scene, Blanco felt relieved, and so did 272.

If Li Ang just stayed in the half court and waited for 272 to attack with the ball, then 272 might have a beat in his heart.

He has persecution paranoia and is naturally hostile to China, but that doesn't mean he is really a fool.

He knows Li Ang's strength, and he also knows that Li Ang likes to deal with offensive midfielders like him on the defensive end who have skills and escape, but do not have absolute speed and strong confrontation ability.

But now that Chelsea has chosen to play with Paris Saint-Germain, 272 feels that his opportunity has arrived.

As long as he can run and speed up the pace, 272 will have strong confidence to avoid Li Ang's interception and send threatening passes during rapid advancement and chaotic battles.

This is his strength.

But one thing he forgot was that after he came to Ligue 1, he polished his best threatening passing skills even better.

However, Li Ang greedily absorbed game experience in more top leagues and the Champions League stage, and further developed quite rapidly on both offense and defense!

Disrupt the game and find opportunities to pass threatening balls in the fast pace of the game?

This skill is now also what Li Ang is good at!

Therefore, Li Ang can roughly simulate 272's offensive ideas and offensive perspective.

Thanks to the previously improved upper limit of vision and talent, Li Ang has not just been honing his skills in the past six months since he came to the Premier League.

He has also made great progress in terms of his offensive and defensive vision on the court.

He knows that 272 likes to send passes that are more risky and have greater benefits.

Similar route 272 can see it, and he can basically see it too.

So when facing off, he can often block the ball first!

Don't underestimate this half-step advance of blocking position, when 272 deliberately avoids direct confrontation with him.

Such an action of his can make 272 feel as sick as eating a fly!

So the fans at the scene quickly discovered that Li Ang's defensive position selection today was extremely good.

His number of confrontations and effective interceptions may not be as good as his partner Matic.

But there is no doubt that he has successfully taken half a step ahead in the matchup with 272!

It is difficult for 272 to pass the threatening offensive ball that he is best at. It is no exaggeration to say that Paris Saint-Germain's offensive efficiency will drop by at least 30%!

In the offensive tactics that Ancelotti had previously created with 272 as the core of the midfield, Blanco could not abandon the classic attacking midfielder like 272.

Then he can only pick up Ancelotti's tactics and modify and patch them on this basis to make them more suitable for his own tactical concepts.

But no matter how modified, 272 is very important to the operation of Paris Saint-Germain's entire offensive system.

With Ibrahimovic here last season, sometimes 272 got into trouble, or sometimes he didn't perform well.

Ancelotti can directly give Ibrahimovic great offensive tactical authority, allowing Ibrahimovic to lead the two wingers to continue to suppress the opponent's defense normally.

This is not only a knock on 272, but also a tactical trump card of Ancelotti.

But there is no Ibrahimovic in Paris Saint-Germain this season, and Higuain is not the kind of center with his own tactical system.

That's why I saw that Chelsea was already willing to play a fast-paced offensive and defensive transition game with Paris Saint-Germain, but 272 was restricted by Li Ang at the beginning of the game.

Blanco's face suddenly dropped.

"Deep into their half! Move forward, move forward! What's the use of hanging around at the top of the center circle?! Marco (Verratti) will be responsible for organizing!"

Seeing that the first half had just passed the 7th minute, Blanco couldn't stand it.

He put his hands together to his mouth and yelled at 272!

272 At this time, if you don't try your best to press into Chelsea's defensive third zone to move and get the ball, what's going on all the time grabbing Verratti's organizational position on the outside?

Since Paris Saint-Germain has chosen to attack aggressively, they naturally have to stab Chelsea's heart with the tip of the knife!

The three forwards have already pressed forward, but the core player who passes the threatening ball is still dawdling at a position five or six meters just past the center line. What the hell!

Blanco's shouting made 272's face look ugly.

But what stimulated him the most was the inexplicable smile on Li Ang's face opposite him.

In the eyes of others, Li Ang might just smile casually, but 272 felt that Li Ang was mocking him!

How can 272 endure this? !

So he finally moved forward and pressed.

When he moved into the midfield rib area on the left side of Chelsea's defensive third, he quickly received the pass sent by Verratti selflessly.

272 first took the initiative to receive the ball towards Verratti, ensuring a smooth reception.

Then he led the ball slightly to the side, took a deep breath, and looked at Li Ang, who was trotting towards him!

They haven’t met officially for more than two years. It was the first time they faced off against Li Ang as an opponent on the court. 272 ​​soon felt a strong sense of oppression!

"Don't be approached!"

272 thought very vigilantly in his heart. Looking at Li Ang's tall and strong body, he really didn't have the confidence to fight head-on with Li Ang.

272 quickly made up his mind. He was going to take a technical approach. After clearing the passing space, he used Lavezzi in front as a cover for passing!

At this moment, Li Ang watched 272 rhythmically change directions with the ball to test, and he did not underestimate the enemy in the slightest.

He lowered his center of gravity slightly and followed 272 sideways and slowly retreated.

Just when Lavezzi retreated to meet 272, and 272 seemed ready to push the ball to him, Li Ang moved.

Like most ordinary defensive midfielders, when faced with this situation, he retreated slightly, opening up a little 272 position gap with the ball holder.

At the same time, his body also tilted to the side, as if he was preparing to block 272's pass to Lavezzi.

Li Ang seemed to be making defensive predictions, and there were no major mistakes in his position selection.

272 was ecstatic in his heart. He changed the movement of pushing the ball with his left foot. After smashing the ball, he directly dribbled the ball and accelerated towards the inside line with all his strength!

272's actions made Li Ang's previous defensive predictions immediately useless.

And it seems that Li Ang directly lost his path to get stuck in the 272 cut!

Countless Chelsea fans in front of the TV were slapping their thighs and shouting in annoyance, but Mourinho was still sitting calmly on the coaching bench at this moment.

And Li Ang also completely demonstrated his flexible turning and strong acceleration ability in the pursuit of defense, which seemed to be 272 seconds too slow!

It seemed that in just one or two seconds, Li Ang turned the cheers in the mouths of all Paris Saint-Germain fans at the scene into exclamations!

272 felt the pressure from Li Ang chasing after him from behind!

His heart was beating wildly uncontrollably!

But before he could make any corresponding evasive action, he felt a huge force coming from his side!

The ball at his feet was taken away first, and his body balance was completely no longer under his control!

Countless neutral fans in front of the TV only saw Li Ang using his powerful chasing ability to quickly catch up to 272.

After that, the confrontation between the two became one-sided. Li Ang simultaneously used his force to poke the ball and squeezed 272's ball control position from the side!

The German midfielder, who considered himself a 100% native, fell to the turf out of control.

But the referee who watched Li Ang's complete defensive action nearby had no intention of blowing the whistle to stop the game!

272 first lost control of the ball, and then was at a disadvantage in the confrontation. Li Ang's smart closing movement in the end made it impossible for the referee to find any fault!

Kalas, who received Li Ang's poke, cleverly moved the ball directly to the side.

In the face of the Paris Saint-Germain players raising their hands in protest, the referee remained unmoved and decisively signaled that the game should continue!

"Damn it! He committed a foul and pushed my player down! This was obviously a foul, why didn't the game be stopped?!"

Blanco did not actually see clearly this time Li Ang's interception of 272, but this did not prevent him from complaining angrily and roaring to the fourth official.

However, the dispute on the sidelines failed to attract the attention of the current fans at all. Bertrand on the left side of Chelsea moved forward very quickly!

Lampard, who played as a central midfielder today, did not press too far forward.

Therefore, he easily ran over near the midline to receive Bertrand's pass.

It is still a neat and non-stop ball transfer directly to the side. Lampard's ball is very comfortable. De Bruyne almost does not need to adjust on the right side, just lies on the ball and continues to accelerate forward!

This time Chelsea passed the ball quickly from the left to the center and then to the right.

This turned Paris Saint-Germain's midfield defense, which had been aggressive in attack, into a complete mess!

Thiago Motta has a good sense of position and can also provide excellent frontal interception and hardness to the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder on the defensive end.

But when encountering a unique counterattack like Chelsea, which moves the ball quickly and uses the width of the pitch very efficiently.

Motta's interception hardness is difficult to put to use, and his slow lateral movement and pursuit speed have become the Achilles' heel of Paris' midfield defense!

At this moment, Paris Saint-Germain's midfield defense has almost completely become a sieve.

The fans in Paris could only watch anxiously as Chelsea players rushed into their half one after another!

However, just when De Bruyne had reached the area where he was good at sending threatening crosses, he did not immediately pass the ball into the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area.

His slow shot seemed to give many Paris players and fans hope of re-solidifying the defense.

Ibrahimovic was also closely entangled with Alex and Thiago Silva.

But the moment Li Ang and Lampard stepped on the Paris penalty area line.

De Bruyne also caught up with Maxwell just before his defense was in place and sent out his best arc pass!

The football quickly passed through Paris Saint-Germain's wing and half-court rib area. After passing through the sky in front of the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area, it suddenly spun and quickly retracted!

Seeing such a wonderful and weird arc, Silva, who was pestering his old teammate Ibrahimovic, felt inexplicably tight in his heart!

It suddenly came back to him.

When they were still in Milan, he and Nesta stood in the backcourt with a smile, watching Boateng and Li Ang come together to torture the opponent's defense.

The scene in front of me looks very similar!

That time and that moment...

Just as,

at this time,

now!

"De Bruyne is not in a hurry, he is observing... and a pass is made! In the middle of the Paris penalty area! Leon——!!!!!!"

He Wei, who was commentating and commenting on this Champions League match in the live broadcast room of Channel 5 today, looked at Li Ang jumping high in the middle of the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area and roared out passionately!

His old partner Xu Yang, who was sitting next to him, seemed to have temporarily forgotten to breathe. His eyes were wide open and he stared at the live broadcast without daring to blink for a moment!

Li Ang took two steps into the Paris penalty area and kicked off with all his strength!

272, who had fallen on the turf before and didn't hear the referee's whistle, got up and chased after him. Because De Bruyne deliberately slowed down the passing rhythm just now, he could barely keep up with Li Ang at this moment.

But he soon discovered to his horror that under Li Ang's strong jumping height, he was unable to fully exert his strength to defend Li Ang!

It was as if he was being carried by Li Ang and flew towards his own goal.

And when Li Ang shook his head forcefully and completed the action of rushing to the goal.

He also fell from the air one step ahead of Li Ang. He was always under Li Ang's body, passively jumping up and down!

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Siligu faced such a strong attack from such a close range. Even if his brain reacted, his nerves could not follow suit!

In the end, Siligu, who was late and rushed towards the far corner of the goal, did not stop the football!

And just when the football broke through his two-hand interception first, he crossed the goal line and plunged into the side netting.

Li Ang got up from the turf, roared and beat his chest, and started running in the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris under the night sky!

After running tens of meters along the baseline with open arms, he suddenly made a celebration gesture of putting one hand to his ear, grinning and frowning, and listening sideways to the live broadcast staff and camera!

This is not provoking the Paris Saint-Germain fans at the scene, but Li Ang is slapping him in the face himself!

He wants to slap in the face those busybodies who deliberately disgusted him before the game, as well as all Real Madrid fans and Mourinho!

He obviously didn't say anything, but he seemed to have said everything he needed to say!

His change of expression from frowning and grinning to finally relaxing his brows and silently mocking the camera has turned into invisible slaps on the faces of countless local fans who made trouble before the game!

At this moment, countless local chicken fans were either silent or angry, but Li Ang and all his fans only felt happy!

Happy grudge!

Just want to slap you in the face!

You have to ride on those people and beat them!

As for 272, who was still lying in the penalty area without getting up, not many people paid attention to him.

Li Ang not only guarded him in the opening stage, but now he also rode on his head and scored a goal himself!

It's time to put the rumors to rest.

The original dispute about which one of them was more qualified to stay in Real Madrid has come to a day when it should be completely terminated!
