Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Today, he scored a winning goal again, and Li Ang was very happy to help the team get all three points.

Seeing that he is one step closer to winning the first Premier League championship trophy in his career, and he is about to play for Barcelona.

In order to further build morale, Li Ang proudly invited all his teammates to have a dinner after the game.

After returning to the locker room to undergo physical therapy, rinse, and accept some interviews, the time came to around five o'clock in the afternoon.

It's a good time to go to the restaurant to rest and chat for a while while waiting for the food to be served.

Many of the young players in Chelsea's team will never play in the Champions League quarter-finals.

This is the first time many people have played in the Champions League quarter-finals this year.

And facing a big European club like Barcelona in the next round, it is inevitable that there will be some expectations and nervousness.

Therefore, on the road and in the restaurant, they constantly asked the veterans in the team for their experience in playing tough Champions League matches.

Naturally, Li Ang could not escape the experience of being taught lessons.

He is not old, but his experience in the Champions League, especially in important Champions League games, is not inferior to Lampard and Terry at all.

After all, he is a tough little expert who has achieved personal statistics in the Champions League finals in the past two seasons. It is reasonable for him to be admired by many of the younger brothers in the team.

However, in terms of imparting experience, Li Ang is obviously not as eloquent as real veterans.

For example, when Hazard asked him how he could always seize the opportunity to go forward and provide assists in the Champions League final.

Li Ang scratched his head and then spread his hands.

"Actually, it's just like that, either beat your opponent, or gain the upper hand in the confrontation.

If you knock out an opposing defensive player, someone else has to double-team him. Isn't there a chance to pass the ball at this time? "

As soon as Li Ang said these words, his teammates in the private room immediately started to boo, and the room was filled with boos.

Well, after Li Ang thought about it for himself, this statement seems to be a bit Versailles.

At first glance, it sounds exactly like what Jordan said: "You rushed inside, pulled the lever to avoid the opponent's center's block, stayed in the air for one second longer than him, and then scored?"

But to be honest, this is exactly what Li Ang did in the two Champions League finals.

Do you have any assisting skills?

That is because of his high golf quotient and misplaced matchup advantage, so he always has the possibility to seize opportunities.

In the 2012 finals, facing Lampard and Ramirez, Li Ang took the initiative to fight with strength.

In the 2013 finals, in addition to restricting the performance of Cross and Muller, Liang would take the initiative to use his speed advantage to deal with him whenever he faced Javi Martinez on the offensive end.

After explaining patiently, Li Ang looked at the thoughtful expressions of De Bruyne and Hazard and felt very relieved.

But when he turned around and saw Lukaku still looking confused and stupid, Li Ang could only hold back his complaints and patted his big head.

"You don't need to study like them in this aspect. Listen to me, practice your small explosions on the wing, and then master the trick of cutting in from the right and then shooting. Whether you are in the club or the national team, You can eat it all, understand?"

"Oh...ok! I'll listen to your boss..."

Li Ang smiled and nodded, and encouraged Lukaku again.

This guy is not stupid, but a bit naive. If you ask him to do delicate things on the court, he will definitely not be able to do it.

While XJB hasn't gained weight yet, let him practice more of his regular skills on the wing. As long as he can master the following two skills: passing from the bottom and shooting with a smooth foot after cutting inside, it will be enough for this kid to finish his entire career.

If he is more reliable, then De Bruyne and Hazard may actually win a major championship at the national team level.

In the evening in the restaurant, Chelsea's first team players chatted while eating, and the atmosphere in the box was also very lively.

When they were about to leave, a sudden piece of good news brought the atmosphere of today's team dinner to its peak!

"Man City was tied by Arsenal in the away game! Cavani came on as a substitute in the second half and scored the equalizing goal. We are 10 points ahead of Manchester City!"

Bertrand waved his cell phone and danced in the box and wiggled his butt!

"Really? We're three games ahead of Manchester City?!"

"Quickly calculate how many games we still need to win to win the championship in advance!"

"We've just finished the playoffs and the 32nd round of the league. That's nothing! If we win three more games, we can hold a championship celebration in advance!"

There were bursts of cheers and whistles in the box!

The news that Manchester City was beaten by Arsenal was no less than a shot in the arm for Chelsea.

The commotion continued for a while, but under Terry's restraint, several restless players in the Chelsea team gave up their thoughts of going to the nightclub to celebrate.

And just when they dispersed and went home to rest, on the Internet, the news that Manchester City and Arsenal were tied had spread throughout the entire English football world.

Previously, Li Ang boldly stated that Chelsea would definitely win the championship in advance, but now it was dug out by some good fans.

But this time, in the face of the reality that Chelsea and Manchester City have opened up a ten-point difference, no other fans dare to jump out and say that Chelsea will overturn.

There are only the last 6 games left in the Premier League this season, and Chelsea are 10 points ahead. This advantage can completely open the champagne in advance.

However, most Chelsea fans on the Internet are not too public at the moment.

The closer they get to winning the championship, the more low-key and calm they seem to be.

When they returned to the team for recovery training the next day, the entire Chelsea team was also instructed by Mourinho to keep a cool head.

The Blues veterans with rich championship experience also stepped forward one after another to calm the restless hearts of the younger brothers in the team.

At this time, the veteran advantage in the team is revealed.

Their mentality and experience are incredibly valuable assets, and with them leading the way, Chelsea's young players can't jump even if they want to.

There are good news in the league, and the morale of the Chelsea team is once again high.

After two and a half days of rest, at noon on April 1, after lunch at the Cobham training base, Mourinho led the team to board a plane to Barcelona.

This time Chelsea rented a training venue in Barcelona. It is also very familiar to Mourinho and Li Ang.

At the Danny-Jacques Sports City training base, Mourinho and the Chelsea players received a warm welcome from the Espanyol Club.

Anyway, no matter what club they are, as long as they come to Barcelona and Barcelona to play games, they will basically receive such warm hospitality from the Espanyol Club.

In other words, the Spaniards may not necessarily be able to beat Barcelona head-on, but as long as it can cause trouble for Barcelona, ​​the Spaniards must help!

After simply completing the afternoon training session at the already familiar Espanyol training base, Li Ang and his teammates took the bus to the Nou Camp to complete the field.

While on the road, Li Ang soon saw the Barcelona fans waiting on the roadside in advance sending their cordial "greetings" to the Chelsea bus.

Well, this tastes right!

If Mourinho hadn't said hello in advance and Li Ang was not allowed to cause trouble, Li Ang would have opened the car window at this time and had an intimate interaction with the local Barcelona fans.

On the way to and from the field, all the Chelsea players could see the enthusiasm of the Barcelona fans, but fortunately they were not disturbed from their rest that night.

To be precise, a small number of Barcelona fans touched the area near their hotel and made noise for a while.

But as the Spanish fans came forward and the local police explained and drove them away, this group of extreme Barcelona fans soon dispersed.

Generally speaking, the fan groups of these big and powerful clubs in Europe will not go to extreme groups like the fans of some teams in Eastern Europe.

Furthermore, fans of really big clubs, at least most of them, are more concerned about face.

Going to the visiting team's hotel to cause trouble all night and disturbing other players' rest is relatively rare for big and wealthy clubs.

Of course, if it was Real Madrid who came to Barcelona to play away today, the situation would be different. It is not the time to show face when dealing with a mortal enemy.

The fierce rivalry between Chelsea and Barcelona was still before 2010.

In recent years, that is, in the 2011-2012 season, Barcelona was successfully attacked by Chelsea's old boys in the Champions League.

There is no big grudge. After all, during the period when Barcelona was at the top of Europe, Chelsea was declining.

So except for the two factors of Mourinho and Li Ang, Barcelona and Chelsea are still barely able to live in peace before the game.

However, the fans on both sides also know that after this round of eliminations, they will probably start another bloody storm in public opinion...

On the morning of April 2, the Chelsea team completed the last practice before the game at the Espanyol training base.

And before this war officially begins. Real Madrid's superstars also cheered for Li Ang and Mourinho on their personal social media.

If Chelsea played against another team in this game, Real Madrid players would not publicly support Chelsea's advancement.

But who told Chelsea to play Barcelona?

So Real Madrid players can happily take sides.

In the first leg of the two Champions League quarter-finals completed last night, Real Madrid defeated Borussia Dortmund 3-0 neatly and basically has one foot in the Champions League semi-finals this season.

Ancelotti gave the entire Real Madrid team a day off.

So Xabi Alonso, Ramos, and Nacho and other Real Madrid first-team players from Castilla simply came to Camp Nou to watch Liang's game.

Before the game, the scene where Li Ang and his old teammates hugged and gathered outside the hotel was also photographed by reporters following them.

So before the game started that night, when the live camera focused on the box full of Real Madrid players, the Barcelona fans at the scene immediately booed.

However, Brother Long and the others felt it didn't matter. After all, they had already gotten used to it, and they could even politely smile and nod in front of the camera.

And when the players from the two teams followed the referee team onto the field, the live camera was focused on Mourinho and Li Ang.

The Camp Nou scene immediately erupted in boos that were several times more manic than before!

Neymar, who had just moved to Barcelona and had not yet played a full season, was surprised by this.

Because apart from playing against Real Madrid, he has never seen his fans become so manic.

But his teammates, such as Messi, Iniesta and Pique, are not surprised by this.

After all, there is a player on the opposite side who can surpass Ronaldo and become the most hated player by all Barcelona fans.

What's more important is that he smiled at the live camera again...

Not to mention the Barcelona fans, the Barcelona players on the field wanted to boo him hard when they saw Li Ang's familiar smile!

Messi avoided Li Ang who wanted to chat with him before the game today.

When the two sides shook hands, Messi still maintained a serious attitude in the face of Li Ang's wink.

This frightened Li Ang a little.

Looking at the coal boss who seemed to have grown a mustache earlier than he remembered, Li Ang murmured in his heart.

"Didn't you say you wanted to treat me to a barbecue last night...are you pretending not to be familiar with me today? I really have you, Xiaomei!"

Messi looked serious, and Li Ang quickly stopped the smile on his face, and his eyes became serious.

The changes in the expressions of the two people were seen by countless fans, and the reporters on the sidelines also pressed the shutter on the two people frantically.

Yeah!

This is how tit-for-tat should feel. To fight such a tough battle, you need to be indifferent and tough.

If the two of them still act like meeting old friends on the court, the media waiting for dinner will not be happy.

As the game time approached, the tension of the impending war immediately enveloped the entire Camp Nou.

After picking sides, the captains of both teams jogged back to their own half, seizing the last moment to boost the team's morale.

It was also at this moment before the game that the commentators from various countries had basically introduced the starting lineups of the two teams today.

Mourinho's tactics have not changed much. He still used the 4231 formation that was most convenient for Barcelona in the past.

The goalkeeper is Petr Cech.

In the defense, Ashley Cole, Terry, David Luiz and Azpilicueta started.

In the midfield, today Matic and Ramirez partnered to form a double defensive midfielder, and Li Ang still played as an attacking midfielder. The left and right midfielders are Hazard and De Bruyne respectively.

The starting center is Ibrahimovic.

As for Barcelona, ​​today's changes are quite obvious.

Because the main goalkeeper Valdes was injured in the last round of the league and was reimbursed for the season.

Therefore, Barcelona's old goalkeeper Pinto temporarily assumed the starting position.

In the defense, there is no problem with the starting arrangement of Jordi Alba, Mascherano, Pique and Alves.

The Habaib Iron Triangle also played in the midfield.

Only on the forward line, Messi, who has played in the middle for most of the season, once again returned to his most familiar right wing today.

Messi is on the right, Neymar is on the left, and Sanchez returns to the center position.

Barcelona's current head coach Martino has changed his arrangements for Messi. This quickly attracted the attention of Mourinho and Li Ang.

However, Mourinho has no intention of making targeted tactical adjustments to Barcelona or Messi's changes in position now.

After a while, the referee finally blew the whistle to start the game.

Mourinho also paced to the sidelines at this moment, carefully observing the direction of the situation on the field.

Li Ang played against Messi's team for the first time today, but he did not restrict Messi's performance 1-on-1.

In the past, when he was at Real Madrid, Mourinho needed his tactical sacrifices to freeze Barcelona's ace core, and Real Madrid also had enough offensive firepower to attack Barcelona's defense.

But now Chelsea is in great need of Li Ang's offensive support.

If he still makes tactical adjustments, Chelsea, which lacks the support of the core midfielder on the offensive end, will really not be able to break the control of Barcelona's midfield.

Every gain must come with a loss, and Mourinho also wants to see whether Matic Galamirez's double midfielder combination can withstand the dribbling impact of Messi and Sanchez.

Chelsea, who kicked off the game first, took the initiative to test Barcelona.

It was still Li Ang who controlled the ball, and it was still Hazard, the most offensive threat, who first tested Barcelona's defensive strength.

There is no doubt that Aves, whom Hazard will face today, is an absolute current wing superstar.

Alves, who is still at the tail end of his peak, is not much slower than Hazard.

More importantly, while his offensive ability is very strong, his ability to limit individual players on the defensive end is also among the best in football.

Compared with his teammate Marcelo, who is very partial to the Brazilian national team, his offensive and defensive abilities are more balanced.

At least at the beginning of today's game, Hazard did not get much benefit from his one-on-one defense.

Li Ang also felt that Alves seemed to enter the game very quickly today and performed better than usual.

So after seeing that Hazard failed to pass Alves in two dribbling attempts, he decisively received the ball and then passed the ball long to his right.

De Bruyne has a stronger sense of cooperation with his teammates.

This time after Li Ang handed the ball over to him, he covered Azpilicueta and succeeded. Chelsea also completed its first smooth cross attack attempt since the start of the game.

Li Ang then inserted himself in front of Barcelona's penalty area, but at this moment Ibrahimovic had already completed the goal with a head shake against Pique's defense.

After Li Ang saw Barcelona's old goalkeeper Pinto steadily pick off the football, he also applauded Azpilicueta who sent the pass, and then actively returned to defense.

However, Barcelona's forward passing speed was beyond Li Ang's expectations.

In detail, Pinto threw the ball to Alba, and Alba dribbled the ball forward and successfully connected with Iniesta. This process seemed to take less than two seconds!

An inexplicable feeling of uneasiness flashed through Li Ang's heart. He yelled for Ramirez, who was standing in the front, to retreat quickly, but Iniesta immediately sent a threatening through ball that ripped apart Chelsea's wing defense. !

In Li Ang's sight, Messi cut in decisively after taking the ball!

"Messi started to speed up from the wing! He cut inside very decisively, but Matic's pursuit was a bit slow!"

In the Radio 5 studio, He Wei, who was commentating tonight's live broadcast, also became nervous!

Messi in the live broadcast shot really shook Matic out of the way through two quick changes of direction, and then he ran all the way with the ball, heading towards Chelsea's defensive hinterland!

Sanchez was at the forefront, running desperately to the left, stretching David Luiz's defense.

Neymar's diagonal insertion on the right also made Ashley Cole dare not easily move in to interfere with Messi.

Terry was stuck on Messi's way into Chelsea's penalty area and did not dare to act rashly.

But just as he approached the top of Chelsea's penalty area, Messi made an adjustment, then stretched out his body and used his left foot to create a fatal and tricky arc!

His shot was so decisive that it was too late for Terry to step forward to intercept and interfere!

And Li Ang also stopped going back at this time. Because the football has passed the palm of Cech's saving hand and jumped into the blind spot in the upper left corner of Chelsea's goal!

In just the sixth minute of the game, Messi scored with his left foot in his first run with the ball in the game!

Just like he had done countless times in the game, he took the ball alone at a seemingly inappropriate time and then sent the ball into the opponent's goal!

This is definitely his superstar moment!

The Camp Nou stadium, which can accommodate nearly 100,000 people, also emitted appalling cheers at this moment!

They were reveling and venting to their heart's content, including some mocking words towards Mourinho and Li Ang!

Li Ang rubbed the back of his head and couldn't help but utter a curse word when he saw Messi excitedly running towards the bottom line in celebration.

"Oh no! Boss Mei, you are serious today!"
