Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Messi's goal seemed to open a vent, allowing countless Barcelona fans to cheer and vent their frustrations at Li Ang.

And one thing to say, Messi's goal is indeed beautiful.

Even though he didn't face off against Li Ang this time, Messi was facing Matic, the top defensive midfielder in the Premier League.

It's as easy as drinking water to get ahead of others, and Messi's shot after swaying Matic away was even more impressive!

All we can say is that Messi deserves to be Messi.

As the only two superstars in today's football who can use their personal strength to explode the defense of the top teams in football.

Messi used this goal to perfectly demonstrate his tactical value and ability level.

At this time, Messi also made his first response to Li Ang on the court today.

A slightly sly wink.

The live broadcast camera didn't capture it, but Li Ang could see it clearly. He even saw Messi's happy smile hidden under his beard!

"He did it on purpose, he must have done it on purpose!"

Li Ang yelled depressedly in his heart.

But no matter what, who allowed Messi to lead the team ahead of him today?

Li Ang has also truly experienced the depression of Messi always watching Real Madrid lead Barcelona in the past two seasons.

To be honest, Messi's performance in the Real Madrid game has always been very good, not bad at all.

But in the past two seasons, as long as he didn't break out, Barcelona would always be led by Real Madrid.

That feeling of being unable to resist his opponent even though he had done nothing wrong was very uncomfortable for him.

Of course, the culprit responsible for this situation in most Spanish national derbies is Leon.

So now looking at Li Ang's depressed and helpless face, Messi breathed a sigh of relief.

"You, too, have today!"

Messi, who was in a good mood, celebrated happily with his teammates, but Li Ang was not as depressed as he imagined.

After muttering a few words, Li Ang took the initiative to return to his own half and cooperated with Terry to boost the morale of his teammates.

Depressed is depressed, and it is not Li Ang's character to first think of retreating when encountering difficulties.

He first went to Matic and comforted him a few words.

However, in the short communication, Li Ang did not teach Matic any special skills to defend Messi.

Because those precautions are basically only suitable for him. Matic is much taller than him, and his body flexibility and turning speed are not as good as him.

Even though he taught Matic everything he could, Matic couldn't use his method to restrict Messi.

Therefore, we still need to use more affordable methods to limit Messi's performance.

Don't go one-on-one, just double-team.

If you can't stop him from being double-teamed, then it's a foul!

"As long as you don't hurt someone maliciously, the referee won't blow a whistle for normal tactical fouls. Remember, just make more small moves to interfere with his advancement and shooting.

If he passes you, you will block his inside position and force him to go to the wing. I will pay more attention to the defense..."

After a few words of advice, Li Ang said nothing more. He believed that Matic could lower his body and cooperate with Ramirez to restrict Messi.

Sanchez and Neymar are also very dangerous, but compared with Messi who may run wild and kick a shot at any time, the marking of them can be completely let go.

When falling behind by a goal, it was impossible for Li Ang to take the initiative to retreat to the defensive end to mark Messi one-on-one.

What Chelsea need more urgently now is offense and goals.

So he can't retreat, at least before helping the team get back to the same starting line as Barcelona, ​​he can't retreat easily!

Mourinho obviously has the same tactical thinking as Li Ang.

Still lagging behind at this moment, Li Ang cannot easily retreat, and Chelsea must also increase their efforts on the offensive end.

However, the method of attack can be slightly modified.

The current Barcelona team is no longer in its prime, but in any case, playing against Barcelona at the Nou Camp is not a wise choice after all.

Mourinho quickly made a tactical gesture on the sidelines. Seeing this, the Chelsea players on the field also reminded each other to change their positions slightly.

As the game restarted, commentators from various countries and fans in front of the TV quickly discovered the position changes of Hazard and De Bruyne taking a deeper position.

And Li Ang also, with the help of Ibrahimovic, conducted more targeted pressings on Xavi, the brains of Barcelona's backcourt.

Such changes in tactical details are actually very common in teams coached by Mourinho.

But for Barcelona, ​​even if Xavi was targeted, their midfielder organized the ball. It won't be affected too much.

People like Busquets, Iniesta, and even Pique all have very good ability to take the ball and deliver it.

When necessary, Alves can also move in and participate in the team's organization and scheduling.

So after adapting for a while, Barcelona accelerated again, looking for opportunities to continue to attack Chelsea.

It can be seen from this point that Barcelona head coach Martino still has great ambitions to win today's game.

He attaches great importance to the offensive initiative and wants to seize the time to expand the lead after taking a one-goal lead.

If it were Guardiola, he would be standing on the sidelines of Camp Nou.

He was high and low enough to signal the team to slow down the pace, forcing Mourinho's team to further invest in the offensive end and make more mistakes.

If this happens, it will be a big problem for Chelsea.

Fortunately, Martino didn't want to play any dirty tricks today, and his main focus was to be aggressive.

Seeing that the Barcelona team was still pressing forward tirelessly looking for offensive opportunities, Li Ang immediately felt relieved.

The further retracement of Hazard and De Bruyne's positions demonstrates the necessity at this moment.

The two of them assisted Bertrand and Azpilicueta to withstand Barcelona's wing attack.

Matic and Ramirez can also devote more energy to locking the rib area in their own half.

Although it is impossible for Li Ang to directly defend in front of his own penalty area at this moment, it is no problem to conduct a large-scale coverage sweep before and after the top area of ​​the center circle.

After instigating Matic to take the initiative to commit a tactical foul on Messi because he couldn't resist it, Li Ang took the lead and set a correct example for Ma Ma.

However, the target of his foul was not Messi, but Iniesta, the engine of Barcelona's offense.

From the eighth to the fifteenth minute of the first half, Li Ang received two foul calls from the referee. In addition, he also made several hidden defensive moves against Iniesta.

They are all very low-harm, extremely torturous interference movements.

Such rogue defensive tactics and decisive foul rhythm immediately reminded Iniesta of their first league match with Atletico Madrid this season.

In that game, Atletico Madrid's four midfielders made Iniesta and Xavi suffer.

The broken rhythm of that game, Atletico Madrid's tough defensive confrontation and the bloody spirit that was not afraid of getting cards are still fresh in Iniesta's memory.

At this moment, Li Ang used the same disgusting trick, and Iniesta immediately understood.

Li Ang designated that he had studied the first game between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the league this season before the game!

In the 18th minute of the first half, after being dragged down to the turf by Li Ang again, Iniesta finally couldn't help but complained to the referee.

More Barcelona players around them also swarmed forward, but the referee quickly blew the whistle and signaled the surrounding Barcelona players to move away quickly with an evil look in his eyes.

Li Ang snickered on the sidelines. He was not stupid. If he dared to use this trick, he must have tested it first to find out the scale of the referee's call today.

However, when the referee looked over with a serious look on his face, Li Ang quickly suppressed the smile on his lips and walked aside with the referee honestly.

"Pay attention to your defensive actions! The number of fouls you have committed is recorded in my mind. When it accumulates to a certain level, I will not be stingy with yellow cards!"

"I understand...I was just too involved in the game. I'm really sorry. Mr. Referee, I must pay more attention behind me!"

Messi, who came over just in time to hear Li Ang's assurance, rolled his eyes.

If other Chelsea defensive players said this, Messi might still believe it.

But when Li Ang spits out such words, there is no need to think about it, just treat it as a lie!

Sure enough, when the game resumed normal operation, facing Neymar who retreated to the midfield to catch the ball, how could Li Ang show any signs of self-reflection and restraint?

He immediately came up and gave Neymar a lesson in confrontation!

Neymar's experience is not as rich as Iniesta's.

His movement when he fell to the ground was a little exaggerated, and the speed at which he fell to the ground was really too fast.

The referee looked at him twice and then said nothing.

After Li Ang squeezed him away and grabbed the ball, Sayazi rushed towards Barcelona's half!

The Barcelona fans were shocked when they saw the blockbuster scene at Camp Nou, and even uttered curse words!

"Stop Li Ang! Stop this bastard, don't let him continue dribbling the ball!"

"A tackle is a direct foul, tackle him!"

"Tmd Sergio, go straight ahead! Why are you afraid of him?!"

Busquets stared at Li Ang's dribbling movements and fought and retreated.

It's really not that he didn't want to be a defensive hero, blocking Li Ang's dribbling, and finally defeated Chelsea's counterattack.

But he is really self-aware.

After all, he has never taken advantage of Li Ang in past battles.

The number of times the two faced each other wasn't too many, but it was quite a few, and they barely understood each other.

Busquets would rather put Li Ang in front of his own penalty area and interfere with Li Ang's possible long shot.

I don’t want to attack in a hurry, get passed by Li Ang, and then let Li Ang and Ibrahimovic directly face their own central defender line.

I have to say that Busquets' careful and cautious defensive effect this time is quite good.

At least at the last moment, Li Ang could only choose to give the ball to De Bruyne, who was better on the right.

De Bruyne's cross was also cleared by Pique in the middle of the penalty area. Chelsea failed to directly threaten Barcelona's goal.

Li Ang watched Ibrahimovic fail in the final battle for the top spot, and clapped his hands with some regret, and finally looked at Professor Bu a few more times.

"Why are you getting more and more cowardly?"

After leaving these words, Li Ang shook his head and retreated slowly, making Busquets very angry.

Even if a counterattack failed, Li Ang was not discouraged at all, and Mourinho on the sidelines didn't seem dissatisfied.

This time, the quick counterattack in the middle was able to be carried out, and the effect was not bad. Seeking opportunities while maintaining stability seemed to be a feasible plan.

With less than half of the first half of the game passed, Mourinho could still sit still.

Even not long afterward, Messi completed another cut inside and forced a shot after receiving the ball from Sanchez.

But Mourinho is still relatively calm and is not in a hurry to make drastic changes in tactics.

Matic listened to Li Ang's explanation during this defense.

He interfered with Messi's final shot with his subtle movements, so Cech was able to firmly block Messi's shot.

Barcelona, ​​which had a strong tempo and attacked for nearly 20 minutes, gained the lead and offensive initiative they wanted most.

However, as the game progresses, the physical fitness of Barcelona's starting players is also rapidly passing away.

Chelsea, who now only fight on two fronts and have more rest, slowly revealed their physical advantage.

Just when Barcelona wanted to control the ball and slow down the pace of the game, the entire Chelsea team gave up!

Li Ang took the lead and launched a strong high-position pressure against Barcelona with his teammates!

This time it was not just Li Ang alone or him and Ibrahimovic who targeted and interfered with a single organizational member of Barcelona.

The high pressure system is the ultimate compression of one team's overall space for the other team to hold the ball and release the ball.

To put it more simply, it is to use stronger running ability to form strong defensive strategies in local areas many times to double-team and press the ball holder!

A one-on-one stoppage is not considered high-pressure.

Li Ang is the well-deserved core of Chelsea in such a huge interception.

Whether he is cooperating with his teammates in the left half or the right half, he can do it with ease.

And Mourinho is also courageous enough. Either he won't grab it, or if he wants to grab it, he will turn Barcelona upside down!

In their own half, Chelsea almost only had two defensive players, Terry and Matic.

Bertrand and Azpilicueta had already pressed into Barcelona's half with their teammates.

Originally, many Chelsea fans would be worried that their high-pressure pressing mode would not be able to steal the ball from Barcelona's control.

But as Li Ang and Ramirez completed two consecutive steals in a short period of time, they launched a counterattack on the spot.

The Chelsea fans in front of the TV quickly took reassurance.

They discovered that Barcelona was not as strong as they thought.

In other words, they still underestimated the power of their team's current style of play.

After two quick counterattacks, Chelsea had already posed a great threat to Barcelona's defense.

Pique yelled with lingering fear, asking his midfield teammates to pay more attention and stop allowing Chelsea to seize offensive and defensive transition opportunities so frequently.

But Busquets, Xavi and others are also suffering.

As soon as they get the ball, they will basically face crazy double-teaming by two or more Chelsea players!

And with the physical running at this moment, basically every Barcelona ball-carrying player in the midfield will receive such defensive treatment.

Under such circumstances, it is really difficult to ensure that the ball is not lost even once.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Li Ang once again teamed up with Ibrahimovic and De Bruyne to double-team and intercept Iniesta.

With his retreat blocked, Iniesta had no choice but to drive the ball forward.

The accuracy of the long passes he sent was still very good, but Sanchez looked a little funny when competing with Matic for the top spot.

Matic headed Iniesta's long pass back into the Barcelona half with unusual ease.

This time, Li Ang, who blocked Xavi with his back, easily stopped the ball with his chest, and then swept the ball directly to Hazard.

Ibrahimovic and Ramirez immediately jumped in from the center at full speed!

Busquets and Pique passively commanded the defense while quickly retreating.

And Hazard did not show any resistance when faced with Alves' marking this time. He pushed the ball forward. Directly help Bertrand successfully set the edge and bottom!

Bertrand took the ball and took two steps inside. After a moment of observation, he directly sent a beautiful inward cross!

Ibrahimovic strode forward, and Ramirez struggled with Mascherano in the middle of Barcelona's penalty area.

Naturally, Pique could only choose to focus on Ibrahimovic at the first time and prevent Sweden from getting a point.

But the landing point of Bertrand's cross completely bypassed the point where Ibrahimovic was rushing towards, and flew straight to the other side of Barcelona's penalty area!

Busquets, who has been prepared for a long time, is trying to stand up and strive for the top.

But Li Ang, who rushed in from outside the penalty area, used his strong inertia to kick off the ground with all his strength, then squeezed Busques away and completed a beautiful head-swinging attack in the air!

This sudden scene made countless Barcelona fans panic!

However, in the eyes of commentators from various countries, this is completely a premeditated attack by Chelsea!

"Bertrand made a pass, he should have made a cross! Chelsea has a natural advantage in fighting for high balls... The ball was kicked! Li Ang from behind -!!!"

He Wei no longer cared about reserve and grace at this moment. The moment he saw Li Ang swinging his head to attack the goal, he completely released his passion and roared with excitement at the top of his voice!

Under the night sky at Camp Nou, Leon was like a bomber with its wings spread angrily and spitting out cannonballs!

His ferocious metallic body completely enveloped Barcelona's penalty area.

And amidst the roaring explosions, the safe pure land guarded by the veteran Pinto was easily razed by the metal storm!

Pinto's save speed is too slow!

By the time the commentators from all over the world started exclaiming and celebrating Li Ang's goal, his save had not yet landed!

Li Ang confirmed that the football had crossed the line. First he curled his lips towards the live broadcast camera, then he opened his arms and recreated another celebration of a bomber gliding by near the baseline!

The wild cheers of thousands of Chelsea fans at Camp Nou seemed so ironic to the ears of Barcelona supporters.

However, Brother Long, Nacho and others in the box were overjoyed. They laughed, high-fived and hugged each other, as if it was Li Ang who represented Real Madrid who scored the goal at this moment.

Mourinho, who also attracted the attention of live broadcast cameras, did not disappoint reporters.

Although the madman is getting older, he still has that passion in his bones.

After running out of the coaching bench, Mourinho, wearing a windbreaker, punched his fist and ran for thirty or forty meters on the sidelines!

One goal behind at the start, so what?

He is good at leading the team against Barcelona, ​​and he also has Lion, Barcelona's biggest sufferer in recent seasons!

The counterattack officially begins from this moment!
