Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"Oops, Flamini was too slow to grab the ball! Liang sent a through ball, and Hazard... made a beautiful pass! Hit the goal! This ball is there!"

Zhan Jun, who switched from Sina Sports to PPTV Sports this summer, is applauding Li Ang and Hazard's connection in the studio at the moment!

Director Zhang Luzhang, who was also invited by PPTV this summer and has now become Zhan Jun's regular commentary partner, also made a "hehe" sound that is very familiar to fans.

"It depends on the tacit understanding of passing and running. Now apart from Liang and Ibrahimovic, it depends on Liang and Hazard in the Chelsea team, hehe.

Before the start of last season, many fans said that Hazard's personal data would drop significantly after Li Ang took control of the offense.

The results of it? Hazard also had double figures at the end of the season, 14+11. What was the difference?

I am optimistic that Hazard's personal data will go further this season. As long as he continues to actively play around Li Ang, the data will be accurate! "

Director Zhang’s words were full of his admiration for Li Ang’s abilities.

It’s not like he just kept praising his children. Domestic fans who were watching the game thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case!

After Li Ang moved to Chelsea last season, many domestic fans really said:

"Leon's data is likely to rise, but Hazard and Lampard's personal data will also decline accordingly."

Logically speaking, such a prediction is not unreasonable.

After all, there are only two or three players in a team who are mainly involved in distributing and controlling the ball during the game.

Some people need to control the ball to organize, and some people need a lot of ball to try and error the offense.

After all, there are only a few players in today's football who can mainly play without the ball and get top statistics.

Players who can be called first-class stars basically need to have enough ball rights to ensure that their offensive statistics continue to improve.

So when Li Ang switched to Chelsea in the summer of 2013, many Hazard fans felt uneasy and suspicious about it.

Lampard's fans are more Buddhist and are more welcoming to Li Ang's joining, but they are also mentally prepared for a big decline in the magic lamp's data in the 13-14 season.

As a result, after Li Ang took control of Chelsea's offensive and defensive power, Hazard and Lampard not only were not squeezed on the offensive end, but also played a more relaxed and efficient offensive performance!

After the season ended, Hazard's 14+11 and Lampard's 10+6 season statistics greatly exceeded the pre-season expectations of Chelsea's own fans.

After changing from attacking with the ball independently to participating in the offense around Li Ang, the threatening passing and shooting opportunities obtained by the two are no less than last season.

After all, there are two leading brothers in the frontcourt who have their own offensive system. As long as they are not the mavericks of Bashen, they are normal players who know how to play more comfortably.

Hazard, who scored again today, is very happy anyway.

He didn't have much ambition to begin with. No matter how the outside fans "encouraged" him, he also felt that it was more comfortable and enjoyable to participate in the offense around Li Ang.

And to be honest, after getting along with Li Ang last season, Hazard now only feels that it is good to have a big brother to lead the championship~

Without much pressure, the public opinion firepower was basically sucked away by the own head coach and boss.

Secondly, I have won many championship honors, and my personal reputation has been rising steadily!

He especially remembers that in the summer of 2012, just after his transfer to Chelsea, numerous British media promoted him as a key figure in Chelsea's reconstruction.

He performed very well that season and his statistics were also very good. At the end of the season, he turned in perfect statistics of 13+17.

However, he played 62 times throughout the season and was really treated like a beast. As long as he was not injured, he would definitely start in all league and Europa League games.

The heavy competition and the expectations of the media and fans put him under great pressure.

At the end of the season, after losing to Atletico Madrid in the Europa League final, he felt even more mentally exhausted and mentally haggard.

Throughout the 2012-2013 season, Chelsea's reconstruction process was relatively smooth. They reached the Europa League final for the third time in the Premier League, which cannot be considered a failure in any case.

However, the result of losing all four major players still caused many media to question Hazard's performance after the season.

This makes no sense. After all, Hazard has only just entered the Premier League. In the summer of 2012, he already won the Ligue 1 championship and has already proven his strength.

But media public opinion is such a virtue.

When he needed the most mental relief and self-affirmation, Hazard did not receive help from the club.

Because at that time Mourinho suddenly announced his return to Stamford Bridge.

The madman was busy understanding the current situation of Chelsea and making suggestions to follow up on summer transfers. He really had no time to talk to Hazard specifically.

Since then, Li Ang's arrival has also affected Hazard's views on the tactical positioning of his team to a certain extent.

After all, although he has outstanding talent and has become famous in Ligue 1 early on, he is not an arrogant and extroverted star who is good at expressing his emotions.

Until Li Ang took the initiative to tell him that he only needed to do what he wanted to get enough tactical weight from the coaching staff.

It was not until Li Ang personally told him that he needed his help to win the Champions League again.

Only then did he relieve himself of the pressure and anxiety, truly integrate himself into this new Blue Army, and try his best to make his contribution.

After winning the EFL Cup with the team last season and then dominating the Premier League, Hazard felt extremely happy.

This is the team he most longs to join.

There is a world-class coach, top training level, a warm and inclusive team atmosphere, a reliable boss who protects his teammates, and an excellent tactical system that allows him to fully utilize his abilities.

You don't need to bear too much pressure from public opinion, just play well and show your own characteristics, and you will be able to obtain honorary achievements naturally.

In contrast, he really doesn't care if he is not the boss of the team or becomes the focus of public opinion that attracts the attention of fans.

After finishing the exciting celebration with his teammates on the court, Hazard and Li Ang, who stayed until the end to smile at him and open his arms, hugged each other tightly.

"Well done, Eden! You're in good shape today. Are you confident of scoring another one in the first half?"

Faced with Li Ang's teasing, Azar also grinned and shrugged.

"Don't worry, I won't be weak when playing against Arsenal~"

When Li Ang heard this, he couldn't help but think of an anecdote from later generations about Arsenal fans voting Drogba and Hazard as the top two most hated players.

After rubbing Hazard's head out of habit, Li Ang held his shoulders and walked towards his own half.

And the Gunners fans watching this scene in front of the TV were in a terrible state!

"The time point when Arsenal conceded the goal was really too early. Maybe the professor should consider whether Tulalang should continue to delay.

In most games, this arrangement is very safe, but today it seems that Arsenal need to move the midfield defense further forward to limit Li Ang's outstanding performance..."

After the Sky Sports commentator calmed down his passion, he also gave tactful suggestions from Arsenal's perspective.

The problem is of course not with Tulalang, who is holding back in defence, but with the defensive midfielder who is positioned further forward and should have shouldered more of the responsibility of sweeping the ball.

But obviously saying that Flamini is not good at it certainly does not conform to the neutral professional ethics of a commentator.

Therefore, the Sky Sports commentator could only give a tactful reminder at this moment.

Of course, my family knows their own affairs best, and Arsenal fans must know how good Flamini is.

But no matter what, as I said before, Arsenal's midfield and backcourt problems have always been clearly there. But the professor doesn’t have that much money to solve it.

Last summer, Wenger also set his sights on Matuidi after failing to compete with other clubs to introduce Li Ang.

To be honest, if Wenger had really brought Matuidi to the Emirates Stadium last summer, most of Arsenal's waist problems would have been solved by now.

It is a pity that as one of the last midfielder talents Mourinho left for Real Madrid, at least until Casemiro has not fully grown up.

Matuidi is Ancelotti's indispensable starting force.

His worth is not too high, but Real Madrid is unwilling to let go, and the player himself is unwilling to leave.

In the end, Wenger failed to forcefully dig out, so he could only spend a lot of money to get Cavani in his hands first.

As for regrets, Wenger definitely has no regrets about spending a lot of money to introduce Cavani last summer.

It can only be said that it is a pity that when Arsenal had the opportunity to hook up with a defensive midfielder before, Arsenal really couldn't afford it.

But when money was available last season, the good defensive midfielders on the market were basically unable to be poached...

Wenger originally thought that he would send two defensive midfielders, Tulalang and Flamini, in this game. No matter what happened, it would delay the time for Li Ang to enter the state.

As a result, Li Ang seemed to be more aware of Flamini's deficiencies on the defensive end than he thought.

In desperation, Wenger could only make a simple position change first, positioning Tularang first, and let Tularang, who was better defensively, limit Li Ang's performance.

There is no problem with Flamini's delaying and organizing, but does he serve as the insurance man in front of the team's defense...

Wenger doesn't think Flamini is a reliable deep-lying defender, but he has little choice now.

After the game restarted, Li Ang looked at Tulalang coming towards him and immediately understood Wenger's tactical intention.

Unable to continue dribbling the ball to break through Arsenal's first midfield defense, Li Ang was not in a hurry and directly ordered his teammates to shrink their formation first.

"Let them come over to attack, break up their formation, and then we'll press them after halftime..."

The tactical instructions issued by Li Ang were very clear, and this was considered Chelsea's most commonly used anti-counterattack tactic last season.

Originally, Arsenal fans thought that Chelsea was going to carry out a comprehensive tactical reform this season after watching the previous fierce battle between Chelsea and Manchester City.

But now that they see Chelsea playing the familiar way of shrinking when they are ahead, countless Arsenal fans broke through the defense and began to curse Mourinho!

Wenger also felt helpless.

He doesn't want to attack Chelsea's big bus formation, he also wants to have a vigorous battle with Chelsea!

It's a pity that today Mourinho and Li Ang just made up their minds to eat the food.

No way, who told Arsenal to play "real offensive football"?

Some teams that nominally want to play beautiful football, once they take the lead, they want to keep playing in the midfield and back to kill time.

But Arsenal is different. They really want to play the game well, and they really want to keep attacking.

It can be said that in the past, when Mourinho led the team against Arsenal, he basically used Wenger's tactics as a countermeasure.

But Wenger just didn't want to be defensive against Chelsea.

Therefore, Arsenal was repeatedly defeated by Chelsea using the same tactical concept, but they still refused to change their tactical strategy.

From this perspective, a professor who has entered the later stages of his vocational teaching career is a true tactical "martyr."

Perhaps the professor himself understands that it will be difficult for his "Tao" to win a heavyweight championship without the support of massive transfer funds.

But he would rather go to the end on this so-called road of failure without wavering in determination or changing his mind!

Li Ang has always admired Professor, a master with real tactical beliefs.

If he is now wearing an Arsenal jersey and fighting for Arsenal and the professor, then he will definitely fight to the end for the professor's tactical concepts.

But he and Arsenal had no fate after all.

As a member of Arsenal's biggest rival club, he understands Arsenal's tactics and is destined to lead the team to rise above the Arsenal's failure...

In the 24th minute of the first half, Li Ang played a one-two with the retreating Ibrahimovic while dribbling the ball forward.

After forcefully overtaking and avoiding Tulalan's interception, Li Ang quickly split the ball and handed it to De Bruyne who was following on the right.

And De Bruyne didn't stick to the ball, he just passed the ball, and Ivanovic, who was inserted from the side, easily held the ball and went down.

At this moment, Ibrahimovic, who turned around and accelerated, had just rushed into Arsenal's penalty area. His position was closer to the center, while Li Ang accelerated towards the front point!

Ivanovic did not hesitate too much and sent a slightly fast cross.

Mertesacker sat in the middle and was entangled with Ibrahimovic.

Li Ang took off high in front of Arsenal's penalty area under Koscielny's marking, and then completed a standard and neat header!

Chelsea is in the Arsenal penalty area, and the two most threatening points at the moment are actually feints!

The football quickly fell towards the back of Arsenal's goal. After successfully offloading the ball, Hazard boldly faked a shot and dunked it, first getting rid of Flamini who came to defend him.

And after he had a shooting angle, Hazard stopped dragging the ball and directly shot a rub shot with great confidence!

The football seemed to draw a rainbow trajectory in the air, and the beautiful arc made countless fans in front of the TV mesmerized!

The tens of thousands of Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge were so surprised that they jumped up in advance.

When they gradually opened their mouths and stretched the corners of their eyes.

The football spinning forward in the air finally passed by Szczesny's saving hand, and finally plunged into the net in the upper right corner of Arsenal's goal!

At this moment, the entire Stamford Bridge was swept directly by a tsunami of cheers!

And just when commentators from various countries cheered Hazard enthusiastically.

In the live broadcast footage, Azar was already smiling and Li Ang, who was rushing towards him, once again hugged each other tightly to celebrate!

"Great job, Eden!"

This season, stand with me on the top of the football world, together! "

"Hahaha, okay!"

While typing, I saw the news of Hazard's retirement. I had mixed feelings for a moment and didn't know what to say...

I'm still waiting, waiting for an official announcement, hoping to see the news of your return to Stamford Bridge with the blue No. 10 jersey.

Maybe now you can no longer turn the tide and lead Chelsea to regain glory, but as long as Chelsea still has you in the team, it doesn't matter if I stay up a few more late nights.

As a result, Chelsea were no longer the same Chelsea and you made the most surprising decision that was also most in keeping with your character.

Well, maybe all good stories will inevitably end in regrets.

After the sea breeze of the Persian Gulf blows.

Eden, I can't seem to remember what you looked like at your peak.
