Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

After the 60th minute of the second half, Swansea changed its previous more proactive offensive style and instead found a way to counterattack Chelsea.

It can be seen that although Garry Monk, a young head coach who is only 35 years old this year, is very ambitious, he is still relatively pragmatic.

When the score is behind, he can clearly see the current situation on the field and be patient and quickly adjust his tactics to counterattack Chelsea.

Garry Monk's decisive decision made Li Ang look at him with admiration.

However, this awakening came too late, and Li Ang did not think that his head coach would continue to give Swansea the opportunity to chase points at this time.

Sure enough, Mourinho saw that Garry Monk did not choose to strengthen the forward pressing attack tactics, so he simply signaled the Chelsea players on the field not to compete with Swansea anymore.

Anyway, today’s lineup is also a rotating one, so it’s safest to stop when things are good.

With a wave of Mourinho's hand, the Chelsea team quickly shifted into half-court defense mode.

In the 70th minute of the second half, Drogba was replaced by Matic.

At the same time, Maguire, Kallas and Lampard were also warming up on the sidelines.

Chelsea's tactical intentions are clear.

Garry Monk saw that Mourinho refused to give him a chance to equalize the score, so in the end he had no choice but to replace the offensive players and prepare for a last ditch effort.

This season's well-known Ligue 1 center Gomi, who came to Swansea from Lyon on a visa-free basis in the summer window, currently does not seem to be very adaptable to the pace of the Premier League.

In the last twenty minutes of the game, Garry Monk was replaced by forward Bony, who scored 17 Premier League goals on behalf of Swansea last season.

But Bonigagomi's combination obviously couldn't take advantage of Ding Dian's advantage in grabbing points and high balls when facing Terry and Maguire's double central defenders.

Li Ang was replaced by Lampard in the 87th minute of the second half, and enjoyed the applause and cheers of the Chelsea fans in advance.

In today's fourth round of the Premier League, Li Ang also scored his fourth Premier League goal since the start of the new season.

Averaging one goal per game, although Li Ang did take advantage of the schedule, only Everton has been a strong opponent so far.

But don't forget, he is not a forward. As a midfielder, he can score four goals in four games. This performance is amazing and amazing enough.

And Li Ang's more stable performance now naturally makes other Premier League teams more anxious.

In today's football, there are actually many stars who can perform outstandingly for a certain period of time and have explosive growth in data.

But the superstars who can achieve stable output in every game and always stand up in tough battles are the three of them, Melo and Li Ang.

Expert coaches and players all know how powerful a star who can stably score a goal in every game can bring to his opponents.

Li Ang may still not be able to match Melo in terms of scoring explosiveness, but his ability to forcefully change the situation of the game is already among the top three in the world.

Yes, they are the top three in the world, not the third behind Melo!

Because his offensive ability is not as good as Melo's, he makes up for it on the organizational and defensive ends.

Watching Li Ang leading his teammates to thank the home fans in the live broadcast, the Sky Sports commentator also had to sigh:

"Chelsea has found a new leader who is most suitable for them. Li Ang is not only an excellent team core, he has now also become an excellent team leader!

We have every reason to believe that Chelsea this season will be more mature and more threatening than last season. Defending the Premier League will not be the end of their goal.

The regret of last season's Champions League will be their best motivation to move forward. I believe that this Chelsea team will bring us more surprises in the Champions League..."

Chelsea, who had won four consecutive victories at the start of the new Premier League season, was in the limelight for a while.

Swansea lost, and Chelsea personally broke their unbeaten streak since the start of the new season.

Manchester City also ended their winning streak after this round of away game against Arsenal.

Arsenal defended their dignity at home, beating Manchester City 2-1 and quietly climbed back to their most familiar fourth position in the Premier League.

Liverpool is still in a slow state and lost to Aston Villa 0-1 in this round.

On the other hand, Manchester United finally swept away the decline and ushered in their first league victory of the new season.

After sweeping the newly promoted Queens Park Rangers 4-0, Van Gaal felt more confident in accepting interviews with the media.

For Manchester United, the bigger benefit is that they have another week-long rest period after this round of games.

Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal. They will all face the challenge of the Champions League in the new season.

By then, a lot of energy will inevitably be diverted from the Champions League.

Manchester United only ranked seventh in the Premier League last season, so let alone the Champions League, they didn't even get to play in the Europa League this season.

But there are always two sides to everything. If Manchester United, which is not playing in the European war, can be ruthless and let go of the two domestic cup competitions in England this season.

It's easy to achieve results by just focusing on the league.

At least there are many optimistic Manchester United fans on the Internet calling on the club to let go of the EFL Cup and FA Cup as soon as possible.

In other words, just give up on the more useless EFL Cup first and concentrate on preparing for the league and later FA Cup matches.

The current Manchester United lineup is quite thick, and they are not good at fighting on three fronts, but they are still capable of fighting on two fronts in England.

When Li Ang has nothing to do now, he likes to read various suggestions and messages from Manchester United fans to the Manchester United club on the Internet.

To put it bluntly, if the current management of Manchester United can screen the suggestions of Manchester United fans and analyze and implement the constructive messages one by one.

Then Manchester United's future development prospects may actually return to the "right path" ahead of schedule.

It's a pity that the opinions of these Manchester United fans are just wishful thinking. Now the top management of Manchester United mainly refuses to listen to advice.

Li Ang has deep sympathy for Manchester United's die-hard fans, but he is still happy to see this happen as Manchester United falls into a quagmire that they cannot extricate themselves step by step.

There is no way, he is now a Chelsea player. From the perspective of Chelsea Club, a Manchester United with no problems in the management is much scarier than Manchester City.

Manchester City is very rich, but the funds that Manchester United can spend in the transfer market are definitely much more than Manchester City.

Taking into account Manchester United's huge reputation in the Premier League and their current attraction to world-class superstars.

Of course, Li Ang will only feel that the more wrong paths Manchester United takes, the longer the period of decline, the better.

As for Manchester United's failure to lag behind, is the Premier League team's performance guaranteed in the Champions League?

It doesn't matter, now that he is at Chelsea, the Champions League results will naturally not bother the Manchester United players to worry about~

Chelsea has regained its reputation as the Iron-blooded Blues in the Champions League last season.

At least after this season's Champions League group draw results came out, fans of Schalke 04 and Sporting Lisbon, who were assigned to the same group as Chelsea, cried out that they were really unlucky!

Of course, for Chelsea fans, this year's Champions League group draw is very comfortable.

They should also be regarded as the best seeded team this year.

Arsenal and Chelsea also belong to the first batch of seeding teams, and their group opponents are Borussia Dortmund, Anderlecht and Galatasaray.

The game is not very easy to play, but basically qualifying is no problem.

As a third-tier team in this year's Champions League, Liverpool was drawn into Real Madrid and Basel. Even if they cannot beat Real Madrid, it is not difficult to take advantage of Basel.

On the contrary, as a second-tier team, Manchester City was very unlucky to be drawn into the same group as Bayern this year. Not to mention, the group they were in was still the well-deserved "Group of Death"!

Bayern, Manchester City, Roma and CSKA Moscow will fight in the same group. The Champions League Group E they are in is also the Champions League group that attracts the most attention from fans this year.

Li Ang is very satisfied with the signing of his team this year.

Rather than being watched by the whole of Europe from the beginning of the group stage, the entire team of players bears unnecessary pressure to play in the Champions League.

He still prefers the development and advancement model of making a fortune silently.

On September 16, the matches of the first four groups of the Champions League started at the same time that night.

In the first round of the Champions League group stage, except for the strong dialogue between Dortmund and Arsenal, there was basically no focus game that attracted fans.

Dortmund and Arsenal ended up tied 2-2 at the Westfalenstadion.

Aubameyang and Cavani both scored in the game. Arsenal fans were also very satisfied with the draw. Being able to get a point has met their psychological expectations before the game.

Real Madrid beat Basel 5-1 at home. Cristiano Ronaldo scored two shots and one pass, taking the lead in starting his own data surge in the Champions League this season.

Juventus defeated Malmo 3-0, Tevez also scored twice, and it seems that he is quite ready to rejuvenate his career with the Bianconeri.

But in the same group as Juventus, Atletico Madrid, which was extremely optimistic by countless fans and media reporters before the game, overturned in the away game.

Losing to Olympiacos 2-3, Atletico Madrid became the first powerful European team to be upset so far in the first round of the Champions League group stage.

This also sounded the alarm to the other powerful teams that will compete on the night of September 17th.

Mourinho is still very confident in the strength of his team.

But before the first Champions League game of the new season started, he had to carefully remind his disciples several times not to be careless.

Chelsea's first Champions League match of the new season is at home, so the worst result is a draw with Schalke 04.

If there was a bad start to the Champions League at home, Mourinho would have no choice but to accompany his players to apologize to the home fans in person.

On the evening of September 17, Chelsea, with all its main players playing in the Champions League, sat at Stamford Bridge and faced the challenge of Schalke 04, who ranked third in the Bundesliga last season.

As opponents in the Champions League group stage last season, Chelsea and Schalke 04 have a relatively good understanding of each other's strengths.

This season, he was assigned to the same Champions League group to compete on the same field again, and Li Ang had to express his "fate" with emotion.

Before the game, he originally wanted to continue to entertain Draxler and Max Meyer in today's game.

As a result, after the day's game officially started, Li Ang was surprised when he saw Draxler taking the initiative to bypass him to get the ball.

"This kid has matured...he is so stubborn today!"

For Draxler who ran to the wing to play, Li Ang would not follow him and continue to bully him.

But for Max Meyer, who was organizing the ball in the middle, Li Ang was completely rude.

Now that Kroos is the ball-handling organization in the team, Li Ang can completely free up his hands to personally challenge Meyer.

After not seeing each other for a year, Meier has not grown in height. He is still only 1.73 meters and weighs less than 70 kilograms. Meier was bullied by Li Ang at the beginning.

In desperation, Schalke 04 could only choose to move the organization point back, allowing Ogo and Boateng to control the distribution of ball rights.

The main offensive mode has basically changed to two wings flying together.

Meyer was pushed down by Li Ang at this point, and Huntelaar, who was waiting for passing support at the front of Chelsea's penalty area, was very uncomfortable.

His independent offensive ability is not strong to begin with. As he gets older, he becomes more and more dependent on the high-quality passes delivered by his teammates on the front line.

Therefore, without any shooting shells, he had no choice but to retreat and serve as a tactical fulcrum for his teammates.

There was nothing wrong with his choice.

As for the center, when he can't get the ball, he can basically only retreat more to help the midfielder deliver the ball, and use his fulcrum ability to create more offensive space for his teammates.

But the problem is that the two wings of Schalke 04 now, whether it is Draxler or Sam, are not the kind of extraordinary monsters with excellent speed and skills.

Even if Huntelaar gave up his tactical weight and offensive opportunities, his two wing teammates could not penetrate Chelsea's wing defense one-on-one.

On the contrary, Schalke 04's left back Fuchs and Boateng, who has rich experience in attacking from behind, performed well today.

Fuchs played smart, taking advantage of Draxler's defensive interference with Azpilicueta and successfully rimming him many times and delivering some good quality crosses.

Boateng, who came in later, used Huntelaar's cover to complete several top attacks.

Li Ang is very familiar with this kind of offensive routine.

Of course, for today's Chelsea, Boateng's late penetration only causes some trouble for the defense.

After Schalke 04's three offensive attacks, Chelsea directly counterattacked, causing Schalke 04's backcourt defense to become trembling!

Compared with Schalke 04's nondescript two-wing offensive tactics, Chelsea's Hazard and Salah have truly achieved "flying on both wings."

Fuchs can still help his team on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he was very embarrassed by Salah!

Schalke 04 full-back Heger on the other wing was beaten even worse by Hazard!

That is purely a crushing of personal strength!

Hazard is not as violent as Salah in terms of speed, but in terms of technology, he is much better than the current Salah.

And behind him, there are always support from Li Ang and Azpilicueta.

At the 19th minute of the first half, Heger received a yellow card for a tactical foul on Hazard.

Now Hegel didn't dare to make any extraordinary defensive moves against Hazard.

As a result, Boateng, who had just shown momentum on the offensive end, had to return to defense in advance to help him stabilize Schalke 04's defense on the right.

Li Ang naturally displayed his excellent play style of "killing him while he is sick" and even more unscrupulously helped Hazard blast Schalke 04's right wing.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Hazard also successfully received Li Ang's through ball, broke into the Schalke 04 penalty area and scored!

As soon as the goal was scored, Chelsea's offensive routines began one after another, no matter how they played!

Schalke 04 was originally inferior to Chelsea in terms of hard power, but now they were forced to have a decisive battle with Chelsea on the offensive end in the second half. The holes in the defense in the backcourt were immediately obvious!

In the 56th and 69th minutes of the second half, Li Ang received Ibrahimovic's return pass and scored with a blast.

Then he assisted Salah to cut inside and shoot, broke Schalke 04's goal, and scored his first goal on behalf of Chelsea in the Champions League!

After gaining a 3-0 lead, Li Ang was filled with pride!

In 2007, Kaka was able to lead AC Milan all the way to the Champions League as a midfielder.

Today's Chelsea is at the peak of its strength, and he is confident that his ability has surpassed Kaka.

So, this season, copy the results achieved by Kaka in 2007, or even go further?

why not!
