Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

The referee has not yet blown the whistle to end the game, but there are no more cheers from Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou.

The huge 4-0 score number on the electronic scoreboard seemed to have turned into an invisible dagger at this moment, piercing the heart of every Barcelona fan!

This score is actually abnormal.

Even the most optimistic Chelsea fans did not dare to imagine that their team could directly massacre Barcelona on the road before the game.

After all, the record between the two teams last season is there.

Although Chelsea finally won both rounds in a narrow duel.

However, it was 2-1 in one game and 1-0 in the other. It can be said that Chelsea suppressed Barcelona's efforts, but it was not enough to say that Chelsea was already leading Barcelona at that time.

As a result, one year later, Chelsea was able to score four goals in one game at Camp Nou and annihilate Barcelona!

Such growth and transformation in strength is truly astonishing!

If we have to say that Barcelona is one level weaker than last year, it is because they are too weak rather than because Chelsea has become stronger again.

So how should we explain Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, which are currently behind Barcelona in La Liga?

A new public opinion storm has begun.

And now the Barcelona players on the field have no time to think about how they should deal with the public opinion crisis after the game.

The result of being beaten by four goals has nailed them to the pillar of shame.

In this case, anything you say after the game is just a weak excuse.

Unless they can really stage a shocking comeback in the second round, force an equalizer and drag Chelsea into overtime.

But will Mourinho and the Chelsea coaching staff, who are already confident of winning, really give them this chance?

The vast majority of Barcelona players are completely pessimistic.

Enrique allowed the cold wind to mess up his hair and sat on the coach's bench looking at the court indifferently.

Messi ran back to the kick-off point with the football in his arms. He was a little confused, disappointed, and very angry!

But he never thought about giving up like this.

He still didn't open his mouth to roar, even if it was just to complain and vent his emotions.

What Barcelona needs most now is actually not tactical guidance, but spiritual support.

Every Barcelona player knows that they can rely on Messi, but it is difficult for them to get emotional feedback from Messi.

If Puyol was still on the court at this time, he would not hesitate to scold his teammates, and then forcefully "carry" them to continue the game.

This kind of spiritual leadership is very important.

Xavi can fulfill most of the captain's duties, but he is not Puyol after all.

The entire Barcelona team was dissatisfied at this moment. The result of Messi taking over the ball and attacking alone was to fight alone out of the system.

Li Ang can understand Messi's mood at this time, but he who single-handedly led this bloodbath today is still as stone-hearted!

After defending Barcelona's feeble attack in the last ten minutes, at the last moment, he finally ushered in Messi's solo breakthrough.

When Messi attacks, he defends. The one-on-one battle between the two was officially staged at the final moment of the game.

But at this time, Messi's heart was in confusion and his movements were also chaotic.

After losing the ball when faced with Li Ang's marking twice in a row, Messi's mood inevitably became irritable.

And just when he took over the ball forcefully for the third time and wanted to make a final attempt, the referee on duty held his watch and blew the whistle to end the game without any dignity at all!

Li Ang stopped defending and allowed Messi to rush past him with the ball.

At this moment, all the players and coaches on the Chelsea bench rushed to the court with eager cheers!

Yes, they and Barcelona still have the second round of the Champions League 1/8 finals, but the outcome of this round of knockout rounds has been decided at this moment.

What they celebrated was not the victory over Barcelona in this game, but the celebration of ending the suspense ahead of schedule and reaching the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League!

Li Ang, who had two passes and two shots in this game, had just celebrated with his teammates when he was surrounded by impatient reporters.

After finally dealing with the group of reporters, Li Ang looked at the stadium again, but he could not find Messi and Iniesta anywhere.

Barcelona's players basically chose to leave the field in a hurry after the game officially ended.

Messi, along with Xavi and others, made a simple farewell to the home fans and then left decisively.

He really had no intention of reminiscing with Li Ang at this time.

After playing this game, the Barcelona players just want to go home quickly and heal themselves quietly.

But they can now choose to remain silent, quickly return to the dressing room and leave.

However, their head coach Enrique had to go to the post-match press conference to face the heckles and mean questions from reporters.

In sharp contrast to him, of course, Mourinho was smiling and high-spirited at the post-match press conference.

This big victory was a brilliant victory for all Chelsea players, and it was also a complete victory in Mourinho's tactical layout.

It is conceivable that after the game, the sports media in various countries had to focus on the tactical game between Mourinho and Enrique during the game for a long time.

And a very real problem is about to be faced by all clubs in football.

When the new trend tactics have achieved great success, they choose to increase investment, introduce players suitable for the new tactics, keep up with the trend, and reap the dividends.

Or should you choose to continue to wait and see, but you are likely to be left behind by your competitors in just one or two seasons?

The changes in tactics have already begun and are still in progress.

Whether they like it or not, the major clubs in Europe's mainstream leagues will eventually stand on a new stage to compete.

Stronger confrontation, faster impact speed and more abundant and powerful physical fitness.

If future young players do not have these qualities, it will become increasingly difficult for them to establish themselves in wealthy clubs.

In this battle, Chelsea not only defeated Barcelona, ​​but also awakened many established giants in European football.

It was not until this time that they truly let go of their inherent prejudices.

Mourinho no longer only pursues utilitarian defensive football, and Guardiola is no longer just a leader in the Premier League who continues to promote beautiful passing and control.

It turns out that they have come such a long way in tactical changes!

After Hai Shuai made it clear that he would not return to coaching.

I don’t know how many top executives of wealthy clubs have set their sights on Klopp, who is still in charge of Dortmund, after tonight.

No way, who made Klopp also take a path on this path of football tactical reform?

It is definitely unrealistic to forcefully poach Mourinho and Guardiola, but strengthening Klopp is really a try.

After all, Dortmund was unable to invest heavily in the transfer market for many years.

They couldn't keep Gotze, they couldn't keep Lewandowski, and after all, they couldn't keep the still ambitious Klopp.

Klopp can build a team, make good use of young people, and his tactical concepts are in line with the future development trend of football.

With these characteristics combined, it is really difficult for him not to attract the interest of other football giants.

However, the bustling summer window will not arrive for another four months.

Klopp may become the focus of discussion among fans by then, but at this time, the only hot topic in football is Chelsea's four-goal defeat at Camp Nou!

So much so that on the night of February 17, Shakhtar Donetsk's upset draw with Bayern Munich at home was almost undiscussed the next day.

The Chelsea team, who flew back to London the next morning, also received the expected rainbow fart across the UK.

First of all, I am definitely happy to be happy, but when I think about not having a vacation after coming back, I will even start recovery training directly this afternoon.

Chelsea's players also felt a bit tired.

Three days later, Chelsea will face Burnley at home in the twenty-sixth round of the Premier League.

Li Ang estimates that Mourinho will choose to rotate again, but he will definitely not be able to continue to start.

So after the restorative training ended that afternoon, Li Ang directly used up the useless physical recovery potion that he had kept until now.

And sure enough, after the training on February 19, Mourinho gave several of the team's main veterans a break in advance.

Cech, Terry, Silva and Ibrahimovic all got three days off.

In contrast, players such as Begovic, Maguire and Drogba have basically entered the starting eleven for the next round of the league.

Against Burnley, who is currently ranked third from the bottom in the league and deep in the relegation zone, Chelsea has no competition pressure even if they rotate half of the main players.

Chelsea, which suffered two draws shortly after the start of the second half of the league, is currently slightly narrower than Manchester City in the standings.

It's not easy to encounter another soft persimmon. Of course, Chelsea must pinch it carefully and try to open up the points gap with Manchester City again.

For Li Ang, the next round of the game against Burnley is also a good opportunity for him to score his twentieth goal in the league this season.

After entering the Christmas Devil schedule, Li Ang's scoring efficiency dropped a lot.

From the fourteenth to the nineteenth round of the league, Li Ang scored five goals in six games.

But starting from the twentieth round of the league, Li Ang has only scored one goal in the past six games.

This decline in goal statistics does not mean that Li Ang's performance is not good.

In fact, during that devilish schedule with frequent rotations, the entire Chelsea team needs Li Ang to cover the defensive end.

If he can survive, Chelsea's record will be stable.

Otherwise, Chelsea might suffer their first defeat of the season in the first game against Tottenham in the second half of the league.

Li Ang completely sacrificed his personal data to help the team continue to move forward steadily in the league.

In addition to the fact that his twentieth goal in the league has not yet arrived, Cavani and Suarez, who had previously been separated by him in the Premier League scorer list, have now caught up.

Cavani scored his nineteenth Premier League goal of the season in the last round of the game and currently shares the top scorer position with Li Ang.

Suarez has two fewer goals, but with his ability, he can catch up with one game.

So now Li Ang's position at the top of the Premier League scorer list is really unstable.

He had never had the opportunity to win the league's Golden Boot before, so Li Ang didn't care much about this personal honor.

But now as long as he works hard enough, he is very likely to win the Golden Boot Award, and Li Ang has the ambition to compete with Cardano and Suarez!

At three o'clock in the afternoon on February 21, Chelsea started the twenty-sixth round of the Premier League with Burnley at Stamford Bridge at home.

In addition to resting several veterans in the team, Mourinho also made Kroos, Matic and Hazard all sit on the bench today.

In the midfield, Van Ginkel and Lampard formed a double defensive midfielder, and it was rare for Li Ang to play the attacking midfielder position in the recent start.

Chelsea's front three today is Drogba, Salah and De Bruyne.

On the defense, Ake, Maguire and Karas also made a rare start together. The right back started with Big Ivan, and the goalkeeper was Begovic.

Against Burnley, Mourinho's formation was much more radical, directly arranging a 433 formation that was full of offense.

Burnley formed a 4-4-2 formation with very clear defensive counterattack intentions.

The game entered the rhythm of Chelsea's siege on Burnley from the beginning.

In contrast, Chelsea players even feel that Burnley is much better than Barcelona in preventing counter-tempo.

After all, Burnley really lowered its attitude from the beginning of the game, and the real counterattack was all the way to the end.

And they also attach great importance to the efficiency of seizing offensive and defensive transition opportunities.

Speaking of defense alone, their ability is actually not bad, at least they can be ranked in the middle of the Premier League.

They had scored few points before, mainly because of their weak forward line.

At this moment, the main focus is on defensive counterattack tactics, which can be regarded as making use of strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

But the defensive strength is only at the mid-level level of the Premier League. Chelsea is not afraid of the big team.

After nearly 20 minutes of patient penetration at the beginning, Mourinho saw that the effect was not significant, so Mourinho made a big move and adjusted his offensive methods.

Long shots are used first. With Lampard and Liang in the middle of the midfield, Chelsea has no shortage of good shooters.

I tried it first and got a feel for it.

In the 26th minute of the first half, Li Ang took the ball from Drogba and directly swung his thigh, and then tried a heavy shot about thirty meters away from the goal!

Burnley goalkeeper Heaton barely saved Li Ang's long shot from the bottom line.

After getting the corner kick opportunity, several header players in the Chelsea team actively ran into the Burnley penalty area.

Maguire clearly became the focus of the audience at this moment, and his big head also made Burnley's defensive players look back frequently.

Li Ang stood beside Maguire.

The two didn't communicate much, but just standing there put all the Burnley defenders under a lot of pressure!

Not long after, De Bruyne made a tactical gesture and directly lifted the football into the Burnley penalty area.

This pass has De Bruyne's personal characteristics, with a large arc and a quick spin in the landing area.

Maguire took the lead and rushed into the defenders like a heavily armored soldier!

Michael Keane, the strongest and tallest central defender in Burnley's defense, did not dare to neglect. Even if he was at a disadvantage in the confrontation, he still fought hard with Maguire!

Neither of them jumped high enough in the end, and the football passed over their heads.

In the area that Maguire had pulled apart after rushing forward, Li Ang, who exerted enough force, pushed away Burnley's other veteran central defender Shacklebolt, and then used full force to shake his head!

Shakur, who is only 1.8 meters tall, lost his defensive position.

And beside him, Li Ang, who confirmed that the football hit the net after shaking his head to attack the goal, landed and ran towards the bottom line of Burnley's half!

Burnley goalkeeper Heaton shook his hand in annoyance. His attention was entirely focused on Maguire for this goal, so much so that he didn't even have time to react when Li Ang attacked the goal!

In the Stamford Bridge stadium where the audience cheered, Li Ang put his hands behind his ears and performed a passionate kneel-down celebration!

At this moment, the commentator of Sky Sports also shouted passionately about Li Ang's statistical achievements!

"Leon's 20th Premier League goal this season! It is also his 30th total goal in all competitions!!!

This is Li Ang's powerful response to all opponents at Stamford Bridge!

If you want to challenge him, then come here!

He's here!

He is setting new standards! "
