Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

The large stands of the Juventus Arena were silent at this moment. Only the stand area where thousands of Chelsea away fans gathered were celebrating wildly.

Pogba was pulled from the turf by Evra.

Watching the superstar he admired and liked score a goal from close range, Pogba felt uncomfortable.

Because this time he became the backdrop for Li Ang's goal, and he did not leave any impression on Li Ang in this head-to-head contest with Li Ang.

At least that's what he thinks.

He does have the capital to be proud of, both technically and physically. He has talents in both areas that other midfielders can only dream of.

But now he was hit hard by Li Ang.

This feeling of being incomparable makes Pogba very frustrated.

Pirlo saw the frustrated expression on Pogba's face and sighed inconspicuously.

When Li Ang came to Milan, the talent he showed was completely incomparable to Pogba's current talent.

But at that time, Li Ang was not frustrated by this. Instead, he energetically learned from all the seniors in the team every day.

In Serie A, at that time Li Ang was only labeled as a promising defensive player.

It's not like he can handle every offensive opponent on his own.

But when he failed, Li Ang never had such a frustrated expression on his face.

He would either go up to fight with his opponent again, or simply ask for help from his teammates.

In terms of mentality and ability to withstand psychological pressure, Li Ang has always been the strongest among the younger generation of players that Pirlo has seen.

Originally, he felt that Pogba might catch up with Li Ang's achievements and abilities in the future.

After all, God has given Pogba all-round talents in terms of technology and physical fitness.

Pogba's current training can be regarded as hard work. As long as he remains enterprising, his future is also unlimited.

But now Pirlo has completely stopped thinking like this.

The mentality gap between the two seems to be too big now.

Without Li Ang's strong psychological ability, Pogba will never be able to become a true offensive and defensive core in a team.

Pirlo feels deeply sorry for this.

Of course, this regret did not last long.

Pogba is a Frenchman after all and he will not play for Italy.

Besides, in terms of the effort put into teaching, Pirlo felt that he should be more attentive to Li Ang's teaching.

Pirlo is completely satisfied to be able to teach Li Ang.

Pogba is okay, even if he can't be a core player, he will still be qualified to be a puzzle piece for a wealthy club in the future.

Pirlo felt that it was better not to be too greedy. Looking at Li Ang now, he was already proud enough.

Even if what Li Ang scored at this moment was his team's goal...

After retracting his eyes comparing Leon and Pogba, Pirlo returned to a calm look on his face.

He smoothed his long hair, and then reminded his teammates that the game was not over yet, and they still need to regain their energy to continue competing with Chelsea!

Li Ang had already calmed down by now.

After raising his arms and yelling at the Chelsea fans in the stands, he trotted back to the half-court amid the smiles and slaps of his teammates.

Mourinho waited on the sidelines and extended his palm, and Li Ang smiled and high-fived his boss in celebration.

Terry waited at the end, gave Li Ang a big hug, patted Li Ang on the head, and kept saying something in his ear.

Commentators from various countries watched this scene and lamented the unity within the Chelsea team.

This is what Chelsea fans are most proud of right now.

The game restarted soon, and the Chelsea team seemed to be more vigorous in holding on to the half-time, resolutely fighting Juventus's defense.

This kind of match scene gives Juventus fans a huge headache.

Allegri sat on the coaching bench, looking calm on the surface, but there were already waves in his heart.

He now understands Guardiola's mood every time he faces Chelsea.

They are not very worried about Mourinho's tactical design and tactical backup.

Because they have corresponding tactical records, even if the countermeasures are not particularly effective, at least they have such a plan.

Lack of on-the-spot adjustments will not make their team completely passive.

But the presence of Li Ang will always make the situation on the court suddenly become unbalanced at a certain period of time, and completely fall into Chelsea's rhythm.

Li Ang seems to have some kind of magic power to restrain strong teams.

When Chelsea usually plays as an underdog, Li Ang's performance is good, but it is the kind of performance that fans expect.

He only plays in strong teams. Ever since he was at Real Madrid, Li Ang's attributes as the nemesis of strong teams have been extremely unparalleled!

And the stronger the opponent, the more violent his performance will be, without any scientific logic at all!

When you play against Barcelona, ​​he can resolve the battle with two headbutts like a god descending from the earth. When you play against Manchester City, he can give you two world-wide hits in a row!

Today against Juventus, Li Ang directly broke the balance of the game with his incredible return to defense, single steal and on-the-spot counterattack...

Uncle Ji felt a little numb.

He didn't even understand now that it was clearly his own perfect counterattack threat, but how could it become Chelsea's opportunity to break the game in the end? !

Shouldn't such a metaphysical scene appear in his team?

It's hard to hold!

It's really hard to hold!

"How about we increase the attack?"

The assistant's voice came again, Allegri rubbed his temple, but still chose to postpone the adjustment.

The reason for not adjusting before was that there was no problem with the situation and the rhythm of the game.

Now there is no adjustment because the balance of the game has been broken. Allegri believes that the team needs to first strengthen the tactical thinking and stabilize the situation.

Well, my uncle's brain circuit is like this. No matter whether outsiders think it is reasonable or not, he thinks the tactics are reasonable, that's it!

So soon, the Juventus players on the court received tactical instructions to continue to defend the backcourt and not give Chelsea a second chance to score.

Vidal and Pogba were a little anxious, but Pirlo had long been accustomed to Allegri's tactical thinking.

Several veterans in the team pressed, and Pogba and others could only hold back their emotions even if they didn't like this conservative style of play.

When Mourinho saw that Allegri had no major tactical adjustments, he also directly signaled Li Ang and Kroos to try to control the ball on the field.

Playing away in the Champions League, 1-0 is a very comfortable score.

Anyway, Mourinho can fully accept it. If Allegri is willing to cooperate, the game will end with this score, and he has no objection at all.

Many Juventus fans are still waiting to see their team launch a large-scale counterattack.

As a result, almost three minutes after the game resumed, they still saw the "peaceful" situation of the two teams' players staring at each other on the field, and if you don't attack, I will control the ball.

Milan fans are very familiar with this scene, but many neutral fans don't know it.

For a while, on major sports live broadcasts and sports forums, old Milan fans explained Allegri's unique tactical thinking to the neutral fans who didn't understand.

You don't need to win a lot to win, 1-0 is enough, and there is no need to rush to fall behind, just play XJB first, and then use the center forward to explode at the last moment.

Playing two rounds of games, the fans have to be more patient.

Because losing in the first round is not a big deal for Allegri's team.

As long as the loss is not big enough, such as a small loss of 0-1 in the first round, Allegri can wait until the second round to formulate offensive tactics to rush back.

Don't ask, the answer is to be safe.

Even if you lose the ball, you must first consolidate the defense line, otherwise it will be unstable!

After the game entered the easing stage, Chelsea and Juventus really seemed to have forgotten that they could still attack.

In this way, they kept the score of 1-0 and entered the halftime break.

For neutral fans, such a game rhythm is completely torture.

They came to watch this Champions League focus battle today to see the offense, to see the overlords of the Premier League and Serie A stab each other!

If it was to watch the defense competition, why did they have to wait until today to watch this game?

Wouldn't it be better to watch more Serie A games in normal times!

Maybe the second half of the game can still give neutral fans a lot of expectations.

So at the end of the halftime break and the beginning of the second half, the ratings of this Champions League battle had not fallen sharply.

But after playing for almost 10 minutes in the second half, seeing that the two teams were still standing still, it seemed that they had accepted the score of 1-0.

Many neutral fans said they were fooled and turned to watch the game between Atletico Madrid and Arsenal next door.

Although Atletico Madrid also played a defensive tactic to break the rhythm of the game, at least Arsenal was still attacking!

And Atletico Madrid's counterattack was also very sharp. In general, the game with Arsenal was back and forth, which was better than the "tacit understanding" here.

Neither Allegri nor Mourinho is the kind of coach who values ​​the ratings and external evaluation of the game.

Anyway, if Juventus does not take the initiative to attack today, Chelsea will never press out to give Juventus a chance to equalize the score!

It just highlights conservatism and stability.

However, Juventus, or Allegri, was not able to maintain stability after all.

After the 60th minute of the second half, Juventus's offensive attempt came.

Although Llorente was still sitting on the bench at this moment, Li Ang looked at Juventus who were slowly pressing forward to make offensive attempts, and still signaled to his captain at the first time:

"Be careful of Juventus's header!"

Terry nodded cautiously to Li Ang, indicating that he understood.

Morata is exactly the same as Lukaku to some extent.

Their center forward skills are not comprehensive enough, but they all have their own outstanding advantages.

Lukaku is very good at one-on-one blasting after pulling to the side, while Morata is very good at headers in the penalty area.

So when Li Ang plays with them, one will give more advance balls to the sidelines, and the other will give more high-altitude balls.

Whenever they switch to feed the ball, Lukaku and Morata will instantly change from tomorrow's stars on the court to crouching dragons and phoenixes.

This is absolutely not a joke.

Although Lukaku does look like a tough player who is good at receiving high balls, Morata also looks like a technical player who is good at ground shots...

Juventus introduced Morata, so they will naturally formulate offensive tactics for him based on his characteristics.

As expected, after pressing forward to make offensive tests, Juventus quickly launched frequent lob passes.

Morata's running position is very good, his sprinting speed is fast, and he is also very precise in the placement of high-altitude balls.

Juventus was hitting high-altitude balls at this moment, and they did not expect Morata to directly withstand Terry's defensive pressure and forcefully equalize the score.

Instead, he hopes to use enough high-altitude ball opportunities for Morata to fight for as many points as possible.

Whether Morata directly attacks the goal or uses a header to pass the ball, allowing Tevez who is ambushing behind him to get a chance to shoot, it can be regarded as the success of Juventus' offensive tactics.

It's a pity that with Li Ang, the big brother who is most familiar with Morata, Chelsea's defenders were mentally prepared early on.

Morata's movement is good, but at the final moment when he needs to forcefully grab a point, Terry becomes a defensive mountain in front of him that is almost impossible to cross!

Speaking of physical fitness, Morata is actually not bad now.

But in front of the former world's number one heavy guard, his confrontational strength is still not enough.

After being suppressed by Terry for three consecutive times and unable to grab a point, Morata's own confidence was somewhat lacking.

Upon seeing this, Allegri decisively adjusted his offensive tactics. Juventus changed from high-altitude bombing to ground penetration.

But this plays right into the hands of Chelsea's defensive players.

Compared with ground penetration attack, which team in football is better than Manchester City now?

Chelsea's ability to deal with this kind of technical attack has long been honed in its constant competition with Manchester City.

At this moment, Juventus chooses this offensive mode, which is equivalent to reducing the defensive pressure on the Chelsea team.

The game time soon reached the 70th minute of the second half, and Juventus still had no achievements on the offensive end.

Mourinho also began to let the defensive players on the bench go to the sidelines to warm up.

As soon as Li Ang saw it, he decisively retreated to the midfielder position.

Five minutes later, Maguire, who was standing on the sidelines, and Juventus' high center forward Llorente were substituted at almost the same time.

Allegri couldn't help but sneered at Lao Mu in his heart.

To be honest, the relationship between the two is not bad. If it weren't for the live broadcast of the game at this moment, Uncle Jon would have rushed to Lao Mu and grabbed him by the collar and asked questions.

"Did you do it on purpose? Ah, you bastard! You must have done it on purpose!"

The fans who saw Maguire and Llorente being substituted on the field at almost the same time in front of the TV were simply grinning from ear to ear.

Even the Juventus fans couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Mourinho's substitution was really disturbing.

As soon as Maguire came on the court, he immediately offset Llorente's advantage in grabbing points from high altitude.

In the 80th minute of the second half, Mourinho replaced Hazard with Karas, and the game came to a real end.

In the end, with all Chelsea players resolutely retreating, Juventus could only swallow the bitter fruit of a 0-1 defeat in this game.

Li Ang's wonderful steal and counterattack goal became the key point in the game's turning point.

After the game, before he could exchange greetings with his old teammates Morata and Pirlo, he was surrounded by Italian reporters who swarmed up.

After being praised by Sky Sports Italy reporters for single-handedly changing the direction of the game, Li Ang interrupted him directly in Italian and replied sincerely:

"There is never a single person in football. This is a team victory, a victory for our entire Chelsea team!"
