Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 248: Advance on two fronts and go all out to win the championship!

"Another two goals in the final, what should I say? I would like to ask you which player in football is as good at playing key battles as Li Ang?"

"Hey, I originally thought that Li Ang would break his record of winning a championship every year since he played in the four major leagues this year. It seems that I was too conservative."

"Ten years from now, Chelsea's senior management will look back and be glad that they chose to pay liquidated damages to bring in Li Ang last summer.

Really, this 80 million seems to be a total bargain price now! If you ask Paris Saint-Germain to pay this amount or twice as much, they will definitely be willing! "

"The basic goal of the season has been completed. From now on, Chelsea only needs to fight on two fronts, defend the league and fight for the Champions League. Then win the league championship and they will be a solid success this season. Can they reach the semi-finals of the Champions League?"

"I am completely satisfied with reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League. Let's see if we can meet Real Madrid and Bayern in the quarter-finals..."

While the podium was still being set up at Wembley, excited fans in China were also discussing Li Ang's success in the new season.

After winning the English League Cup, with Li Ang's double-twenty data, he only needs to win the Premier League championship trophy.

Then his first season after leaving Real Madrid was completely successful!

On the other hand, Real Madrid, with Xavi Alonso currently out due to injury, has been further widened by Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the league.

In past seasons, Real Madrid relied on the strength of their midfield combination to bully Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

But this season, Real Madrid was bullied twice by Atletico Madrid in head-to-head matches because of the lack of hardness in the midfield. The scene was really magical.

Just after the Madrid derby in the 26th round of La Liga on March 1st.

Simeone, who led his team to a narrow 3-2 victory over Real Madrid, was in a good mood after the game. He even stabbed the Meilingers in the heart as a joke.

"It was very difficult for us to win this game. If Li Ang were still in the Real Madrid team, we might only get a draw, and I have to always be careful that Li Ang will step up and score the winning goal.

Fortunately, he is no longer in Real Madrid or La Liga, so I can have a good sleep tonight because of this victory~"

Simeone knows how to make Real Madrid fans more uncomfortable after losing, and his remarks also made many La Liga fans laugh:

Even though it has been almost a year since Li Ang moved to Chelsea, Simeone still misses him. This is true love.

At this moment, Li Ang didn't know that in Spain across the sea, just yesterday, he was on the hot topic list in Spanish football because of Simeone.

Although he is no longer in Madrid, the Madrid derby always cannot avoid topics related to him.

The same goes for El Clasico.

Every time Real Madrid loses a tough game now, Real Madrid fans will miss him more deeply.

But now he is completely immersed in the joy of winning his first championship after moving to the Premier League.

In the rain of ribbons falling from the sky, Li Ang took the championship trophy from captain Terry, held it high, cheered and kissed.

The gold content of this EFL Cup championship is relatively average, but after all, it is the first championship title won by Li Ang in English football, and its significance is still very special.

The veterans in the Chelsea team are still relatively calm. Lampard and Ibrahimovic are also winners who are used to winning such trophies.

But for the young Chelsea players, this championship trophy is already a symbol of their initial success in English football!

So they celebrated with great passion and joy.

Upon seeing this, Li Ang quickly retreated and stood aside, giving his younger brothers more opportunities to show up and celebrate.

Needless to say, there was no need to say more that night. As the club had already arranged a celebration banquet, Li Ang paid for the expenses for his teammates to go to various nightclubs to have fun.

At this time of championship, there is no shortage of energetic young professional players in the team, so it is completely normal to go to nightclubs to party.

As long as they don't go too far and don't expose public opinion, Mourinho will not interfere with such personal matters.

However, although Li Ang left an assistant to pay, he himself did not show up at the nightclub.

The Sun, which was keeping an eye on his whereabouts that night, unsurprisingly took a photo of him holding Anastasia in his arms as he took a special car back to the hotel.

However, Anna's face was not photographed, and the so-called "breaking" news published by The Sun the next day did not attract the attention of many fans and fans.

After all, Li Ang has held a personal press conference and officially announced the fact that he is currently in a relationship.

What's the matter, is it not enough for a player to spend time with his girlfriend after winning a championship?

What still arouses heated discussion and attention among fans is nothing more than Anastasia's true identity and appearance.

Before this kind of news was disclosed, the Sun's news about Li Ang was like a pebble dropped into a big lake, causing at most a ripple.

At the critical time when Chelsea won the EFL Cup, sales of normal sports newspapers really surged.

In the 28th round of the Premier League, which ended normally on March 1 and March 2, the games between Chelsea and Fulham, and Manchester City and Manchester United were postponed.

Liverpool seized this opportunity and defeated Southampton 3-0, closing the points gap with Manchester City and Arsenal.

However, Arsenal lost 0-1 to Stoke City in the away game and missed the opportunity to overtake Manchester City in this round.

So now the top four in the Premier League has become an anxious situation with Chelsea taking the lead and the points gap between the remaining three teams being infinitely close.

There is only one point between Manchester City and Arsenal, and only one point between Arsenal and Liverpool.

Tottenham, who originally had a good schedule recently and should seize the opportunity to attack the top four, failed in two consecutive rounds and was already eight points behind Liverpool.

With basically only the last ten rounds left in the league, the top four teams are bound to compete fiercely for rankings.

Arsenal missed good opportunities to chase points one after another, making countless Gunners fans very dissatisfied.

As for Manchester City, which is eight points behind Chelsea, it cannot be said that there is no possibility of overtaking.

Looking at the upcoming schedule, Chelsea will also face Tottenham, Arsenal, and Liverpool, three of the top six rivals in the Premier League.

In addition, Chelsea also has to deal with tough mid-table players in the Premier League such as Stoke City and Swansea.

If Chelsea lose the next two games and Manchester City can seize the opportunity, then they can come from behind and put huge pressure on Chelsea.

Of course, those who can make such derivation and analysis of the game are basically the local pro-Manchester City media in Manchester.

Most of the other English sports newspapers and professional magazines are more optimistic that Chelsea can end the suspense of the Premier League this season in one go.

Without him, Chelsea's performance in tough battles this season is more stable and convincing!

After a night of carnival celebrations and two full days of rest, the Chelsea first team players also rushed to the Cobham training base to report.

After winning the championship, Mourinho will always be more tolerant than usual.

Some physical examinations failed to meet the standards. Chelsea players who had overindulged in the past two days did not receive serious warnings and questions from Mourinho.

On the first day after resuming joint training, that is, during the recovery training, Mourinho gave them the opportunity to actively adjust their physical condition.

In the two and a half days of training thereafter, no Chelsea first-team player was reprimanded by Mourinho for substandard training quality.

However, Mourinho did not name anyone publicly this time, but Terry and Li Ang privately found a few young teammates who had slacked off a little and had some "communication" with them.

This includes Bertrand and Hazard.

Li Ang looked at Hazard, whose belly had grown slightly after just two days of relaxation, and he finally understood why Mourinho always pushed this kid.

You tell him, he also knows that he is wrong, and he will correct it if he is asked to do so, but as soon as the intensity of control over him is reduced, he will still make this kind of greedy habit.

This is not a big mistake. The daily training intensity of professional players is very high, and the occasional indulgence will be quickly corrected due to the rapid calorie consumption.

But for stars like Hazard who possess the top talents in football.

These little mistakes and indulgences, accumulated over the years, will become a hard roadblock that prevents him from climbing to higher heights in football.

Li Ang believes that Mourinho must have seen this problem in Hazard before he did, and must have had a heart-to-heart talk with Hazard long ago.

But now Hazard still can't control himself strictly, so it's obviously his own choice.

"You boy..."

The day before the 29th round of the league, after training, Li Ang put his arm around Hazard's shoulders and suddenly spoke.

"If I have a chance to compete for the Ballon d'Or this year or next year, you must do your best to help me win the Champions League!"

At this moment, the two of them were a little far away from the large troops returning to the locker room to wash up, so basically only Hazard heard what Li Ang said.

Zaza, who has not yet grown a beard, was stunned for a moment with a delicate face, and then nodded shyly with a smile.

"Okay, I will definitely help you with all my strength, boss!"

After receiving Azar's affirmative reply, Li Ang sighed in his heart, and then hugged his arm tightly.

"You don't want to be the boss, and you are not suitable to be the boss of a team, then I will let you become the second boss of a successful team."

Li Ang thought silently in his heart, and Azar, who was walking side by side with him, also had a flash of relief in his eyes...

After well-rested and three and a half days of rigorous preparation training, Chelsea sat at home on the evening of March 8 to face the challenge from Tottenham, currently fifth in the Premier League.

However, in today's game, before the game, there was no trace of warmth like when the two teams met for the first time this season.

Because Villas-Boas, who can be like a mentor to Mourinho, was fired by Tottenham boss Levy when the winter window opened in January.

At that time, Tottenham successfully reached the knockout rounds of the Europa League as the first in the group. However, in the Premier League, Villas-Boas led the team to temporarily rank sixth.

But Levi, who lost his patience, fired Villas-Boas directly because of his poor record.

To be honest, this is simply because Levi has no idea.

This season the Premier League is full of heroes. Liverpool has broken into the top four, Arsenal's record is also stable, Chelsea and Manchester City are even more powerful.

In this case, Tottenham lost Bell, and the signings were almost all young lottery players.

Villas-Boas led the team to stabilize the top six in the first half of the season, and it cannot be said that the record is poor in any case.

But Levi's mind was so clear that he still insisted on firing Boas.

So when facing Tottenham again, Mourinho didn't need to show any mercy to them and directly launched a four-three-three starting offensive formation.

De Bruyne was also rarely placed in the middle of the midfield by Mourinho, starting for the first time in the eighth position to partner with Li Ang.

On the forward line, Lukaku took over his right-sided position, and Ibrahimovic and Hazard also started.

Chelsea's extremely aggressive four-three-three starting lineup makes Tottenham's new coach Sherwood tremble in his heart!

Because Tottenham's current injury situation in the midfield and backcourt is relatively serious, the core midfielder Eriksen is also unable to play due to injury.

Therefore, when possession of the ball is not dominant and there are major hidden dangers on the defensive end, Sherwood can only use more conservative tactics to try to delay Chelsea's invasion of Tottenham's defense.

As soon as the game started that day, Tottenham, which mainly plays 4,231, was almost in their own half, easily missing the midfield line.

Li Ang watched as Lennon was pushed to the attacking midfielder position, and Kyle Walker had to play as the right midfielder to ensure the integrity of Tottenham's formation.

With Tottenham's injury situation, he really didn't know how this game would go before Chelsea would hand over the victory at home.

The only thing he regrets is that he won't be able to chat with his old friend Eriksen in this game.

When the offensive partner was replaced by De Bruyne from Lampard, the way to organize the offense became extremely simple for Li Ang.

His ball protection and back-up push are something Tottenham can't limit.

After attracting the defensive attention of enough Tottenham midfielders, he only needs to distribute the ball to De Bruyne who is in the weak side area of ​​Tottenham's defense.

Then came De Bruyne's performance of sending threatening passes in the left and right rib areas of Tottenham's half without any blind spots.

De Bruyne, who has almost no reverse foot, can send out passes with a wide arc and fast ball speed with both his left and right feet.

Playing on the right wing all the time actually limits his performance.

From the wings to the center, it can be said that there is no offensive position that De Bruyne cannot play.

And when Tottenham defensive players are afraid of De Bruyne's passing ability and want to restrict him defensively.

Li Ang, who had been waiting for the opportunity, completely sounded the death knell of Tottenham!

Only in the 16th minute of the first half, Li Ang supported De Bruyne from the side when he was double-teamed. After receiving the ball, he forced his way into the top area of ​​Tottenham's penalty area.

When Tottenham center defender Dawson and midfielder Sandro attacked to defend, Li Ang moved the ball to the left of his body.

And Hazard, who had been prepared for a long time, was not polite. After stopping the ball, he made a slight adjustment and hit a tricky shot with a wide arc!

Lori didn't make the save in time and could only watch as Hazard's shot scored!

And six minutes later, Li Ang once again dribbled the ball in, pretending to pass the ball to Ibrahimovic, he adjusted his angle, suddenly shot outside the Tottenham penalty area, and personally broke the Tottenham goal!

The rest of the time was completely dominated by Chelsea's crushing of Tottenham on the offensive end.

Without Villas-Boas, Tottenham's ability to adjust tactical arrangements is mediocre, and Sherwood is not an experienced Premier League coach.

After being crushed within thirty minutes of the first half, Tottenham's coaching staff could not come up with a solution, and the players were naturally disheartened.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Ibrahimovic received a pass from Azpilicueta and scored Chelsea's third goal of the game.

This game was almost defeated at half time and the suspense was gone.

Before the game, many media believed that Chelsea could win at home, but they did not expect that it would be such a devastating way to win.

In the second half of the season, Chelsea won the EFL Cup and advanced on two fronts. They will go all out to win the league title!
