Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Mourinho was holding his breath, watching Li Ang's amazing performance at the last moment when he passed Fazio and then volleyed home.

Holander, who was standing next to him, had a worried look on his face, fearing that Li Ang's kick would fly away, so Lao Mu also whipped it away in one breath.

Fortunately, Li Ang successfully completed a one-stop attack and scored a goal in the end.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines taking deep breaths and shaking his hands, and Holland could feel free to celebrate wildly with other assistant coaches.

On Chelsea's equally excited bench, Lukaku still did not forget his original intention and took out a small notebook to help Li Ang record his goals this season.

"The 14th league goal! In addition to the 5 goals in the Champions League, the boss is still one goal short of scoring 20 goals this season... Mamma Mia!"

After making an estimate of Li Ang's current scoring efficiency and estimating how many goals Li Ang could score this season, Lukaku was also secretly stunned.

His algorithm is very watery, and Li Ang's goal-scoring feeling cannot always be so hot.

But there is no doubt that Li Ang is now the strongest scorer in the entire Premier League.

Just over a third of the way through the season, Li Ang has already scored 19 goals.

And if the assist data is shown again, Li Ang's current personal data seems to be too exaggerated.

19 goals and 17 assists!

Needless to say, this season Li Ang is running for 30+30 in a single season again.

Judging from Li Ang's current offensive efficiency in the Premier League, it is a step further than last season. It is not a problem to reach double 20 in the league before the end of the season.

As for whether it can surpass Henry's single-season Premier League record of 24 goals and 20 assists set by Henry, it depends on Li Ang's subsequent state.

In terms of ability, there is no problem for Li Ang to break Henry's record this season.

Neutral fans of the Premier League have also been mentally prepared to witness Li Ang set a new data record.

Of course, they don't want the team they support to become the backdrop for Li Ang's data.

The helplessness and pain can be understood just by looking at the expressions of Tottenham fans in the live broadcast footage.

After all, his team was about to start trying to equalize the score, but the core players from the opposite team made a long-distance attack and scored a goal.

No one can bear this!

From the loss of 0-1 to the expectation of witnessing a 1-1 equalizer, and then suddenly being plunged into the abyss by 0-2.

After the ups and downs, the thousands of Tottenham fans at Stamford Bridge were just as frustrated as the Tottenham players on the field.

There is no way, Li Ang's performance in riding alone this time has completely destroyed the morale of the Tottenham team.

Seeing one teammate after another unable to stop Li Ang's performance, Tottenham's players will inevitably have doubts about their own abilities.

Fortunately, after Li Ang scored the goal, there was not much game time left in the first half.

So the stunned Tottenham starting players were temporarily relieved.

They can take a breather and clear their heads during halftime.

The more difficult tactical arrangement for the second half will naturally give their head coach Pochettino a headache.

Compared to the silent visiting team locker room, at this moment in the home team locker room at Stamford Bridge, the relaxed Chelsea players sang a Tottenham minor tune arranged by the fans.

What's even more damning is that this tune was not created by Chelsea fans. The ditty led by Terry came from the fans of the Gunners next door.

Li Ang can only sigh with emotion, the Gunners fans are really talented.

Whether they are local Gunners fans or Gunners fans in China, they are a very interesting and interesting group of people~

After a few minutes of commotion in the locker room, Mourinho clapped his hands and motioned for his disciples to look at him.

The tactical arrangement in the second half was not difficult for Chelsea.

Because this remnant Tottenham team itself is not suitable for defensive and counter-attack tactics.

With the current situation of being 0-2 behind, they are even less likely to give up the ball and consolidate their defense first.

Tottenham, which can only go to death on the offensive road, can't do any tactical tricks.

So it is very simple for Chelsea to kill the game reliably.

Mourinho doesn't even need to make substitutions. He only needs to change the positions of Leon and Kroos to directly achieve the tactical purpose of further strengthening the defense against counterattacks.

At the beginning of the second half, after seeing the trio of Chelsea midfielders changing positions, Pochettino had a look of "Sure enough" on his face.

After introducing Kroos who can play from No. 6 to No. 10 this season, Mourinho simply does not feel comfortable making such simple on-the-spot adjustments.

There is no way, who makes Li Ang an all-round midfielder who can play from the sixth position to the tenth position?

In order to strengthen rhythm control and release Li Ang's offensive ability, Mourinho asked Kroos to delay and reduce Li Ang's position.

And after gaining a safe enough lead, if you want to consolidate your defense and strengthen your counterattack.

Then it would be completely OK to swap the positions of Cross and Leon.

After the two of them changed positions, they were completely adapted to different tactical playing styles, and their ability to read the game is also at the top level in football.

Mourinho doesn't need to worry or stress about what work should be done in which position.

He has two such core midfielders, plus Matic, who is strong and deep.

It is no exaggeration to say that Mourinho is now the envy of all coaches in football.

The cards Pochettino has are good enough. If Dembele and Dier can play normally, then his midfield trio will definitely be able to play well.

But even so, looking at the tacit exchange of positions between Li Ang and Cross, he still couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

This feeling was really too sour, but when he thought about Levi's stinginess in the transfer market, Pochettino quickly came to his senses.

If Levy wants to spend money to further upgrade the midfield configuration, Tottenham's first team must first sell people.

After finally forming a lineup that he is quite satisfied with now, Pochettino does not want to take risks in reorganizing.

There is a way to live without money, and there is a way to live with small money.

When the follow-up lineup is complete, Pochettino even feels that in the second half of the season, he will stabilize his position in the top four of the Premier League and have a good chance of making a run for the Europa League.

The current Tottenham Hotspur are not at all the first-tier team competing for the Premier League title.

For Pochettino, the most important thing is to reorganize Tottenham first and steadily qualify for the Champions League.

Maybe in two or three seasons, after making some repairs, he can realize his tactical concept at Tottenham and challenge the Premier League hegemony from the front.

But now...

Pochettino, who was sitting on the coaching bench, shook his head subconsciously.

Earlier in the locker room, he was still encouraging his disciples not to give up the game.

But he knows very well that in today's football world, the only teams that can say that they are confident of defeating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge may be Real Madrid and Bayern.

And this is just the so-called certainty before the start of the game. If they really want to challenge Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Real Madrid and Bayern will probably be in trouble.

So many strong teams came back disappointed at Stamford Bridge.

Pochettino does not feel that there is anything special about his team that can break Chelsea's unbeaten home victory streak this season.

He just hopes that his players can gather morale and perform as well as possible in front of powerful opponents.

The probability of Tottenham losing to Chelsea, or even losing badly at Stamford Bridge, is very high, but the way of losing is different.

If he can fight to the last minute, Pochettino feels that this will be a good mental tempering for the young guys in his team.

But for Tottenham's players in the entire second half of the game, the meaning of torture was far greater than the tempering of their character.

Chelsea, with a two-goal lead, had no intention of attacking proactively.

And compared to the second half of the first half, Chelsea deliberately put Tottenham into their own territory to fish.

After the start of the second half, Chelsea directly set up a strangulation formation at the top of the center circle!

Tottenham now want to break into Chelsea's defensive third zone, and the physical and energy costs they have to pay are not comparable to those in the first half.

Kane was very confident before the game and wanted to show his strength in the battle.

As a result, it is really uncomfortable for him to be supported by Maguire.

It is difficult for teammates' passes to pass into Chelsea's penalty area. Even if they occasionally pass in, he can't grab them at all.

Because Maguire's defensive area, which was almost against him in this game, was too big!

Kane and Maguire have never won a single head-to-head confrontation!

As the game progressed in the second half, Li Ang's tracking of Eriksen became more and more strict after retreating.

Tottenham's two most threatening points in the frontcourt were beaten to death by Chelsea, and other offensive players did not have a backbone if they wanted to exert their strength.

At the end of the game, Chelsea's defenders were still eager to try and were in great spirits.

And every one of Tottenham's offensive players was exhausted physically and mentally.

The unlucky Kane even felt like he was about to be concussed by Maguire!

Therefore, after the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Tottenham's young players did not feel depressed or regretful, they only felt that they were finally relieved.

Thousands of Tottenham fans at Stamford Bridge also left in a hurry, not wanting to stay and suffer the ridicule of Chelsea fans.

Li Ang, who performed well in passing and shooting in this game, once again won the award for the best player of the game.

And Chelsea, who won 14 consecutive Premier League games after the start of this season, once again made the headlines of almost all sports newspapers in England!

Chelsea's starting record last season was also very strong, but in the first 14 rounds of the league, they still drew two games.

And at that time, Chelsea, Manchester City, which ranked second in the league, and Arsenal, which ranked third, did not have a big points gap.

Chelsea, which has won 14 consecutive games in the Premier League this season, is currently 7 points ahead of Manchester City in the standings.

Arsenal, which is ranked third, is 12 points ahead!

Judging from the current situation, Chelsea's winning streak will not be easily interrupted.

After all, in previous games, they have already played against the other three teams currently ranked in the top four of the Premier League.

Except for a slight twist in the game against Manchester City, Chelsea completely suppressed Arsenal and today's Tottenham!

Dominance is slowly accumulated one victory after another.

With more ambitious goals for the season and high morale, Chelsea has overcome the difficulty of a tight schedule.

Just three days later, Chelsea, with a complete lineup, went away to challenge the Magpies Newcastle.

Of course, Mourinho's previous rotation protection of the main lineup also played a very important role.

At least Chelsea's main players, who are spinning around now, don't feel too much discomfort.

And unlike teams like Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, they will play in the final round of the Champions League group stage immediately after the 15th round of the Premier League.

These three teams still have to fight for a higher priority ranking and even a chance to qualify.

Chelsea were just going through the motions.

However, considering that the final round of the group stage is played at home, they cannot lose.

Mourinho may also arrange some young main players and rotation players to start.

But most of the main players in the Chelsea team, especially the main veterans, can get at least a week of rest time in the next.

With no physical worries, the Chelsea team naturally went out with all their strength at St. James' Park.

This is a catastrophe for Newcastle, which currently ranks tenth in the Premier League and is almost two levels behind Chelsea.

In the opening stage of the game, Newcastle could still rely on the "hardness" of the midfield to compete with Chelsea.

But when Chelsea launched a high-pressure tactic that ran wildly throughout the game, Newcastle's rough midfielder was left to be slipped away.

However, Newcastle was not willing to directly set up a bus at home to defend, so their defense was full of loopholes and was almost penetrated by Chelsea three times in just twenty minutes!

Chelsea seized two of these three excellent offensive opportunities.

So in the 26th minute of the first half, Chelsea already led Newcastle 2-0.

If Lukaku hadn't wasted the counterattack opportunity after stealing the ball for the third time, Chelsea would have blown the game away half an hour before the first half!

Fortunately, in the 39th minute of the first half, Lukaku received Ibrahimovic's header and successfully headed the football into Newcastle's goal.

Otherwise, wait until the end of halftime, and this kid will inevitably have to use the hair dryer skills of several big guys in the locker room.

Li Ang and Ibrahimovic were replaced by Lao Mu before the 70th minute of the second half.

In the end, Chelsea also successfully won a 4-0 victory at St. James' Park.

After the celebration, most of the main players in the Chelsea team took a two-day leisurely holiday.

Li Ang and Thiago Silva can only get one day off because they have to start in the Champions League group match four days later.

The Sporting Lisbon players were instantly overjoyed when they learned the news.

On the evening of December 10th, Chelsea sat at home and ushered in the final round of challenge from Sporting Lisbon.

For this game, Chelsea had no pursuit of results and no competition pressure.

Anyway, as long as they don't lose at home, that's why from the beginning of the game, the Chelsea team focused on a resolute defensive counterattack.

Sporting Lisbon certainly wouldn't dare to pin its hopes on Maribor's success in sniping Schalke 04 in the last round.

Therefore, in order to have the safest chance of appearing, they must also get at least one point at Stamford Bridge.

Neither team has a strong desire to win.

Chelsea doesn't need it, Sporting Lisbon has the advantage of points and goal difference, and has psychological protection.

So the game was tepid from the start.

The half ended 0-0, after getting the good news that Maribor tied with Schalke 04 1-1 at home.

The Sporting Lisbon fans at Stamford Bridge even played the Mexican game excitedly in the stands.

In the second half, neither Chelsea nor Sporting Lisbon wanted to play. Seeing this, Lao Mu replaced Li Ang and his sister-in-law who were holding the line and started to defend in advance.

In the end, Chelsea maintained their unbeaten home record and ended this season's Champions League group stage journey with an unbeaten record of 4 wins and 2 draws.

Sporting Lisbon managed to take a point away from Stamford Bridge. They have eight points after six games and are second in the group due to goal difference.

In this round, Schalke 04, which finally defeated Maribor and scored eight points, was ranked third in the group due to a goal difference disadvantage and missed the subsequent 1/8 knockout rounds of the Champions League.

Speaking of which, it's Schalke's own fault for not qualifying from the group this time.

Previously in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Schalke 04 was at home and could have defeated Sporting Lisbon by a big score.

But they became lax after taking a two-goal lead. In the end, they were chased by Sporting Lisbon for two goals with a 3-1 lead, and had to rely on a buzzer-beater before the end to score three points.

If Schalke 04 could maintain these two goal differences against Sporting Lisbon at that time, they would be the ones qualifying at this moment.

Because if the points are the same in the Champions League group stage, priority will be given to comparing the two teams' match results and match goal difference.

The two teams beat each other once, with a goal difference of one, and three away goals. There was no winner at all. Only then did they reach the point where the total goal difference was better than the total goal difference. .

It can only be said that you need to be tough in order to make iron.

Schalke 04 has handed over the right to qualify for the Champions League group to its opponents this season.

And Sporting Lisbon, who surprisingly won the right to qualify, also made an official announcement after the game to thank Chelsea for not killing them in the last round.

So far, the top 16 teams in this season’s Champions League have all been announced.

The top teams in the group include Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Monaco, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Porto.

The second-placed teams in the group are Juventus, Basel, Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal, Manchester City, Barcelona, ​​Sporting Lisbon and Shakhtar Donetsk.

Three teams in the Premier League have reached the Champions League knockout rounds this season.

Liverpool performed poorly in Group B of the Champions League, with one win, two draws and three losses, and only scored five points. They ranked behind Basel and missed the Champions League knockout rounds.

Manchester City and Arsenal both qualified in second place in their respective groups.

This situation made the English media, which used to be noisy in the past, afraid to brag about it.

With the smoke from the Champions League still not clearing, the sixteenth round of the Premier League began, and Chelsea faced the challenge of Hull City at home.

Li Ang had a rare rest, and Chelsea, which had a large number of substitute players, did not overturn and still won the opponent 2-0 steadily.

Drogba and Salah both scored in this game.

Even if Li Ang took a rest in the league, he still occupied the top spot in the Premier League scorer list with 15 league goals.

Cavani currently ranks second in the Premier League scorer list with 13 league goals, followed by Suarez with 12 goals.

In the Premier League assists list, Li Ang also occupied the top position with 10 assists.

Fascination, who ranks second in the assists list, currently has 8 assists.

The report that Li Ang topped the Premier League data list instantly hit the hot list of sports news in various European countries.

On December 15, after the draw ceremony for the Champions League 1/8 finals, the discussion about Li Ang was once again detonated by fans!

No way, who made Li Ang open his mouth? UEFA did give him face, and they really drew Chelsea and Barcelona together in the 1/8 knockout round of the Champions League!

When Chelsea drew Barcelona, ​​the neutral fans watching the excitement shouted "Good guy!"

It seems that after this draw, the biggest fun team in football has also appeared.

The blood pressure of Barcelona fans suddenly rose.

Indeed, when this happens, they should blame their own team and players.

After all, if they could win Paris in the last round of the group stage, or if they could get a point when they played away games in Paris.

Then they will not fall to second place in Group F of the Champions League by one point.

If they had not fallen to second place, they would not have directly drawn Chelsea in the 1/8 knockout rounds.

Everyone knows that UEFA carries out rectification every year, and how badly Arsenal has been rectified before!

Barcelona has fallen from the top of Europe for several seasons, so where do you have the confidence to avoid being targeted by UEFA?

Barcelona fans actually understand this simple truth.

But at this moment they still want to say:

"Before drawing lots for the Champions League knockout rounds from now on, we must shut up Li Ang's open mouth! We must shut him up!"
