Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 326 The battle between the giants, the most brutal Champions League final!

When Li Ang scored Chelsea's third goal, Di Maria somehow didn't feel as uncomfortable as he expected.

Instead, he felt relieved.

The ups and downs of his experience at Manchester United this season completely exceeded the sum of his previous seasons at Real Madrid.

At the beginning, the Real Madrid team was divided into factions and there were some problems in the locker room, but they were all within a reasonable range.

At least Mourinho has obtained the right to manage the locker room from the top management, and everyone usually handles some problems privately as soon as possible.

What came to the table was the time when Casillas exploded.

Originally, Di Maria felt that the problems within the teams of wealthy clubs in various European leagues were similar.

After all, they are all prestigious teams in their respective leagues. If the problem becomes serious, it will not only affect the team's performance, but also affect the team's business development.

As a result, he moved to Manchester United, which was really an eye-opener for Di Maria.

The various problems within the Manchester United team made him really overwhelmed.

Let’s not mention that the various infrastructures at the training base are a bit aging.

For a wealthy club of Manchester United's size, equipment updates are just an offseason matter.

The most fatal point is the chaotic management of the team by Manchester United's top management. This is also the most incredible and confusing point for Di Maria.

The lack of professionalism of Manchester United's management, the frequent interference in team arrangements, and the serious discrepancy between the season goals and the actual situation...

Di Maria really doesn't understand that this is something that the top brass of a wealthy club can do?

The locker room is not unified, and the top management is causing serious troubles. No football superstar can have expectations for the current Manchester United.

Originally, Di Maria felt that what Li Ang said to him at the beginning of the season was quite reasonable.

After all, he has now passed the stage of hungry pursuit of honor.

If you can get a generous and high salary at Manchester United, you can ignore many things. When this contract is over, you can leave the team and pursue the next big contract.

But now he feels that there is really no need to consume the fame he has accumulated in the past few seasons in the big dye vat of Manchester United.

Because it’s really not worth it!

It’s not like there are no European clubs with a lot of money and few things to do.

Xiao Yanqiang called him last summer and invited him to Paris.

It's just that he didn't resist his agent's persuasion at the time, and he valued Manchester United's reputation as a wealthy club more.

Now it seems that this decision is completely wrong!

I hope there will be another chance to choose again this summer window...

At this moment, there are not a few stars in the Manchester United team who are thinking about leaving the team like Di Maria.

Falcao, who came to the Premier League to try out but found it difficult to adapt, Robin van Persie, who has been abandoned by Van Gaal, Juan Mata, who was previously fooled by Moyes...

Originally, if Manchester United could reach the top four in the league this season and qualify for the Champions League, everything would be easy to say.

But now it seems that there is a high possibility that the success will fall short.

Being able to play in the Champions League is of great significance to the stars.

After all, their positions in their respective national teams and their status within the team are related to this.

Seeing that there is a high probability that they will play in the Europa League next season, it is completely normal for the hearts of the Manchester United team to fluctuate.

And the "culprit" who caused all this, Li Ang, was celebrating wantonly on the court with his teammates at the moment.

He is still one assist away from achieving double 20 plus points in the league in a single season.

However, Chelsea still have three league games to play, and it is not difficult for him to provide an assist in three league rounds.

Being able to score two goals today was a complete surprise for him.

He can also play one more round of make-up games, the schedule is advantageous, and there is no competition pressure.

If this can allow Suarez and Cavani to successfully reverse the situation and win the Premier League Golden Boot, then he will really have no choice but to admit it.

After another celebration, Li Ang quickly noticed the substitutions Mourinho made on the sidelines.

He had an expectation in his mind and took the initiative to walk to the sidelines.

Soon, the fourth official also raised the electronic substitution card, and Mourinho indeed replaced Leon with Cross.

Amid the cheers and applause of nearly 40,000 Chelsea fans at the scene, Liang and Kroos hugged each other after leaving the field, and then hugged Mourinho tightly.

"Well done! Have a good rest and focus your energy on the game against Bayern!"

Mourinho patted Li Ang's shoulder hard, his words full of encouragement and expectation.

Li Ang also smiled and nodded, then high-fived his teammates on the bench one by one, and waved his arms to signal the home fans to create a louder celebration.

At this moment, there are still 20 minutes before the end of the game.

If Manchester United resists at this time and finally manages to equalize the score or even achieve a miraculous comeback.

Then Li Ang's champagne-like celebration in advance would become a joke.

But it seems that Manchester United's current players on the field do not have the tenacity of their predecessors in the past, which is the "Red Devils spirit" that Manchester United fans have been talking about before.

Mourinho will not replace Li Ang first and then be too nervous to give Manchester United a chance to make a comeback.

Shortly after replacing Li Ang, Mourinho took advantage of a dead ball opportunity and substituted Hazard and Lampard one after another, replacing Matic and Gary Cahill.

Chelsea took advantage of the situation and switched to a full-line defense. The introduction of Matic and Gary Cahill also further enhanced Chelsea's advantage in high-altitude ball defense.

This made Manchester United's long pass and bombing tactics at the last moment not very effective.

In the end, Manchester United lost 1-3 at Stamford Bridge. They came with high expectations but returned with hatred!

Chelsea's battle not only eliminated Manchester United's initiative to compete for the top four this season, but also directly broke up the spirit that the entire Manchester United team had finally gathered.

In the last two rounds of the league, Tottenham, which was already three points ahead of Manchester United, faced Sunderland and Everton, who were relegated in advance.

Manchester United will play Arsenal first and then Hull City, which is still struggling to avoid relegation.

The schedule of the two teams seems to have hinted in advance about the result of this season's fourth place.

It can be said that some people are happy and some are worried.

Arsenal, which has always been the focus of countless fans at this time in the past, has secured Champions League qualification early this year.

Arsenal, who are no longer competing for fourth place, has made many fans feel disappointed, as if watching the Premier League has lost a lot of fun.

Fortunately, the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid soon reignited, rekindling the interest of most fans in watching the game.

On the evening of May 12th, Real Madrid, which was basically cornered, took a chance at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and launched a fierce offensive attack on Atletico Madrid at home with a two-goal deficit.

Compared with the previous round of brutal competition in which almost half of the main players were injured, Real Madrid finally welcomed the return of several main players from injuries before the war.

But Atletico Madrid, which had already taken a two-goal lead, also chose the most conservative and tough defensive play in this round of competition.

It was an absolute defense that didn't even fight back. It seemed that Simeone didn't want to give Real Madrid the slightest chance to seize the transition between offense and defense!

The Atletico Madrid team also fully implemented Simeone's tactical ideas.

The rhythm of the entire game was completely fragmented. Real Madrid almost never played a smooth attack that lasted for five minutes.

Under this intense and unusual rhythm of competition, both teams consumed a lot of physical energy.

In the 70th minute of the second half, a total of five players from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid were substituted because they were exhausted and could not continue the game.

Li Ang felt very uncomfortable when he saw Casemiro breaking down and crying on the bench.

This season is also Brother Long's last season at Real Madrid.

Alonso's contract with Real Madrid has expired this summer, and he has not chosen to renew it. After this season, he will leave Real Madrid as a free agent.

Although Alonso's professional experience in Real Madrid has been very successful, it is still extremely sad that the last season ended with nothing.

Real Madrid's players tried their best at home, but their opponents also held a decisive mentality and held on to the 2-0 score in the first round.

When the final whistle sounded and the Atletico Madrid team celebrated wildly at the Bernabeu, Ancelotti could only put his hands on his hips helplessly, and then sent blessings to his opponent Simeone.

After all, he paid a heavy price for his stubbornness. Real Madrid, a third-tier contender for the title, ended up losing all four. Everyone knew that Ancelotti's coaching career at Real Madrid had come to an end.

To be fair, under his coaching, Real Madrid still maintains the top level of European football, and its record is still luxurious.

The game was beautiful and the record was good. Unfortunately, in the past two seasons, Real Madrid was hindered by the strong rise of Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals.

The result of screwing up the main force is that Real Madrid has only won one Copa del Rey title in the past two seasons.

Missing La Liga and the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, this result will definitely not satisfy Lafayette.

Ronaldo in the live broadcast also pursed his lips and shook his head.

He has indeed tried his best, but unfortunately, in the first game against Atletico Madrid, the injuries in the team were too serious. It is an inhuman crime and fate has played a role. No matter how unwilling he is, he can only accept the current reality.

The Bernabeu tonight was filled with tears. These tears carried the pain of Real Madrid fans, but also the joy of Atletico Madrid fans.

Having led his team to the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons, Simeone has become the hottest and most talked about new top coach in European football.

In an interview after the game, Simeone also expressed his desire to avenge Bayern in this season's Champions League final.

When a reporter from Marca asked if this meant that Simeone did not want to meet Liang and Mourinho again in the Champions League final, Simeone smiled and did not give a positive response.

This is very intriguing.

German media reporters also wanted to say "see you in the final" to Simeone on behalf of Bayern.

But the severe situation Bayern is facing now really cannot give them such confidence.

After Atletico Madrid reached the Champions League final this season, fans turned their attention to Munich.

On the evening of May 13th, Chelsea's well-prepared starting players took the stage at the Allianz Arena in Munich!

Today, Chelsea's main players are all out, playing away from home, and Mourinho also chose the safest starting lineup of 4231.

After suffering a big loss in midfield defense in the previous round, Pellegrini also made relatively major tactical changes in this round.

He finally chose to let Javi Martinez start, and let Martinez and Bastian Schweinsteiger partner to form the double midfielder combination that Bayern fans are most assured of.

But Pergone also did not give up on Thiago and Gotze, whom he trusted.

For this reason, Muller had to sit on the bench, and Robben still failed to get the starting position with his outstanding performance as a substitute in the last round.

When Bayern's starting 11-man roster came out, not to mention the German media, even various sports media in England expressed doubts about it.

After all, just last summer, Heynckes had led Bayern to great success with his playing style and lineup system.

The ready-made lineup and playing style are there. Although Heynckes has left, Bayern's coaching team has not changed too many personnel.

It was already the last desperate moment, but Pellegrini still believed in his tactical philosophy and did not choose to adapt. This really baffled many media.

But whether it's doubt or support, Bayern's style of play in this game has been decided, and Pellegrini also gave his own tactical answer.

No matter how dissatisfied they are, the Bayern fans at home can only choose to support the coaching staff and starting players first.

Bayern, which has the home advantage, was like Real Madrid yesterday. It quickly set up its posture at the beginning of the game and launched a fierce attack on Chelsea.

But today's Chelsea are not as huddled and defensive as Atletico Madrid.

Chelsea's coaching staff also played a big game. At the beginning of the game, they went head-to-head with Bayern, directly using high-pressure tactics and launching a quick counterattack!

Such an exciting game situation far exceeded the expectations of all fans before the game.

This is of course good news for the Bayern team. Chelsea did not set up a bus to defend, and they would have more offensive opportunities.

Even if their own defense will be exploited by Chelsea, it is better than being worn down by Chelsea's airtight defense!

Bayern's offense was as fierce and fierce as fire and full of aggression.

Although Chelsea also pressed forward to fight Bayern, Mourinho still made multiple arrangements on the defensive end.

So for a while, Chelsea failed to overpower Bayern's momentum. Instead, Bayern invaded across the board and launched several threatening offensive penetrations!

Ribery's low shot after cutting inside helped Bayern get the first corner kick opportunity in the fourth minute of the first half.

In the 11th minute of the first half, Lewandowski received a pass from Gotze and hit the Chelsea goal post, which greatly boosted the morale of the Bayern team!

Chelsea's attack and pressure seemed a little reckless for a while. Many Chelsea fans even hoped that Mourinho would simply give the order to hold on!

But at the critical moment, Li Ang retreated and Matic still withstood Bayern's ferocious offensive and seized the threatening opportunity of the offensive and defensive transition.

In the 18th minute of the first half, Li Ang received a pass from Matic after a steal and used two consecutive circles to protect the ball to shake off the on-the-spot press of Bayern's frontcourt players!

After tearing apart Bayern's defensive system in the midfield and frontcourt, Li Ang decisively moved forward with the ball, forcing Martinez to abandon his defense zone and attack him in advance to make a defensive interception.

After Bayern's defensive imbalance in the midfield and backcourt, Li Ang decisively pushed the ball straight to the wing and handed it to De Bruyne, who was running in at high speed at this moment!

Martinez's speed in returning to defense was really slow, but De Bruyne's quick passes followed.

His wide-ranging long pass accurately found Hazard, who had already burst behind Bayern's defense!

Ram's starting speed is half a beat slower. When he was young, he could definitely catch up with Hazard and make a key steal.

But now his physical condition no longer supports him racing with wingers like Hazard!

Without the difference in stature, the distance between the two will only get wider and wider!

Hazard dribbled the ball at high speed straight into the bottom line of Bayern's penalty area, and then sent a cross pass!

Ibrahimovic fell to the ground directly in the middle of the penalty area and shot!

Boateng also fell to the ground in the same way as him, but neither of them touched the football in the end.

And at the back point of Bayern's penalty area, he used his strength. Li Ang, who had just rushed to the key position at this moment, almost just pushed the ball, without much effort, and directly sent the ball into Bayern's goal!

Li Ang's goal almost silenced the Allianz Arena in Munich!

In the huge stadium, only the excited screams and cheers of thousands of Chelsea fans could be heard at this moment.

Bayern's players on the field also seemed stunned.

Obviously they played better in the opening stage of the game and their offense was more threatening.

It was just such a quick counterattack by Chelsea and such an easy goal?

In desperation, Pellegrini could only shout loudly from the sidelines, trying to stabilize the mentality of the Bayern players on the court.

But at this time, the Chelsea team chose to shrink across the board, and the game officially entered Chelsea's favorite anti-counterattack stage.

The harder Bayern attacks, the more threatening Chelsea's counterattack becomes.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, Chelsea took advantage of Bayern's massive attack and launched another sudden attack, winning another victory!

The game has lost all suspense at this point.

In the second half, Chelsea retreated from all fronts, but failed to allow Bayern to score a goal. They advanced to this season's Champions League final with a total score of 4-0 in the two rounds!

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Li Ang knelt down and screamed to the sky!

After he moved to Chelsea, he already said in interviews with the media that he came here to restore Chelsea's glory and complete the previously shattered Champions League dream!

Now he has fulfilled more than half of his promise. Chelsea has returned to its dominance in the Premier League and has now reached the Champions League final again.

There is only one last step left. After taking this step, Chelsea will become another well-deserved giant of the Premier League, and Li Ang will also reach the pinnacle of his personal honor!

Atletico Madrid also needs this Champions League trophy to justify its name.

Therefore, this year's Champions League final will be an important battle for the giants to join the ranks, and it will also be the most bloody Champions League battle in recent years!
