Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

If we don't look at it in a strict sense, Li Ang can be regarded as scoring a goal over 5 people this time.

His passing skills are not so gorgeous and agile from beginning to end, but more of a display of his current perfect combination of body and technology.

There is smart dribbling and tough confrontation.

The extraordinary running style demonstrated by Li Ang this time is actually the same as the coaching style of his head coach Mourinho.

Focus on practicality rather than formality.

Being able to see the birth of such wonderful goals in a strong dialogue is a joy for more neutral fans.

But Manchester City fans are not happy at all now.

Li Ang suddenly showed his evolutionary side again, and this reality made them emotionally explode.

They have never beaten Chelsea since Li Ang moved to Chelsea two seasons ago.

Naturally, Mourinho's tactics are in place, and Chelsea's tactics also restrain Manchester City.

But what Manchester City fans feel more directly is the "cruel reality" that Li Ang will perform explosively every time he plays against Manchester City.

Such topics are always talked about by the British media who like to exploit the topic.

Li Ang once made it clear in an interview that it was because Manchester City was strong enough and he liked to go all out when competing against powerful opponents.

At that time, Li Ang strongly denied the personal grudges speculated by various British media.

But now Manchester City fans don't want to stay rational anymore, because this seems to be a personal grudge!

Otherwise there is really no way to explain it!

There are so many powerful teams in Europe, let alone the Premier League. In the past two seasons, Chelsea played in the Champions League, and Liang also performed explosively when he met Barcelona.

So the fact is very simple and clear. Li Ang will kill the team that is related to the former Universe Barcelona!

The reason is quite good, he is from the Real Madrid youth training!

Isn’t it normal to have explosive performances against Barcelona and now Guardiola’s team?

Manchester City fans have already directly figured out in their minds the reasonable reason why Li Ang gets excited when he beats Manchester City.

Don't tell me, maybe many neutral fans will believe this theory if it is posted on the Internet.

But Li Ang didn't think so in his heart.

When it comes to playing against Barcelona, ​​the reason for his enthusiasm may have something to do with this theory, because he does have issues with Barcelona fans on the Internet.

But towards Manchester City, or towards Guardiola, he has no hostility at all.

Simply because Manchester City has been Chelsea's number one competitor in the Premier League in recent seasons.

So every time he plays against Manchester City, he forces himself to perform to the limit of his abilities.

Facts have also proved that his emphasis on Manchester City and Guardiola is right.

This Manchester City team is still evolving. If you don't carefully suppress them every time you play against them, you will be the one who suffers the backlash in the end.

Against such an opponent, it is definitely right to go all out. Respecting them is also respecting yourself.

At this moment, Li Ang was not proud because he scored a wonderful goal.

After finishing the passionate celebration with his teammates, he tightened the captain's armband on his arm, and then clapped to indicate to his teammates to continue to keep a cool head.

Suarez looked at Li Ang who quickly suppressed his emotions and returned to a rational look on his face. He thought he was still in Liverpool.

Li Ang in front of him seemed to have turned into Gerrard who was still boosting the morale of his teammates...

"Louis?"

Li Ang looked at Suarez, who seemed to be staring at him in a daze, and kindly reminded him.

"Ah...I'm sorry, I just suddenly thought of..."

"It's okay, you performed very well on the offensive end today! Come on, I will try to pass the ball to you more."

Li Ang's reply made Suarez stunned again.

Because in the first season when he joined Liverpool and his performance was not very good, Gerrard often comforted him like this on the court...

Not daring to think any more, Suarez suddenly grinned at Li Ang after putting away the sentimentality in his heart.

"Okay, Captain!"

Seeing this, Li Ang smiled and nodded to Suarez.

He only thought that Suarez was a little nervous at the moment, and he had no doubt about Suarez's strength.

After the game restarted, Li Ang signaled his teammates in the midfield to take positions first and consolidate their defense.

Several Chelsea players in the frontcourt also actively participated in the defense.

Chelsea no longer compete with Manchester City for control of the midfield, but have switched to their favorite and most hated part of the counter-attack by Manchester City fans.

Guardiola is sitting on the coaching bench in a relatively stable mood at the moment. At least compared to the sad-looking players on the Manchester City bench, he is still very calm.

After all, he was the top coach who had witnessed Li Ang's growth.

In the past two seasons, Li Ang has also accelerated the development of offensive skills, and Guardiola has always been paying attention to him.

So when he saw that Li Ang really had the dribbling ability to tear apart the opponent's defense on his own, Guardiola quickly calmed down after being briefly surprised.

Li Ang has brought him too many "surprises". Even if Mourinho uses Li Ang as a forward next time the two teams meet, Guardiola feels that he can accept it.

The goal was conceded anyway, and it would be useless to worry about it.

It is better to seize the time and think about how to adjust tactics in the remaining game time to limit Li Ang's further performance.

Moreover, he and his coaching team have also made tactical improvements to the team during the offseason.

Last season they might have been very worried about Chelsea taking the lead first, but that's different now.

At least compared to last season, Manchester City are not so afraid of Chelsea's counterattack.

Because after practicing high-position pressing tactics all summer and spending great efforts to improve the physical fitness of Manchester City's main players.

Guardiola believes that Manchester City has adapted to the rhythm of the game with continuous high-intensity total offense and defense and a focus on quick defense.

So there is no need to worry too much that the current Manchester City players will not be able to sustain the intensity of the game against Chelsea.

They will still invest more in the offensive end, and high-position pressure is also a completely correct tactical idea.

Because in the past two seasons, Bayern and Chelsea have proven this with their Champions League titles.

After paying attention to the defensive issue, Guardiola believes that his team can grow to the same height as Chelsea as soon as possible!

This is not because he is conceited, but because he has built this new Manchester City with the right group of players and tactical ideas that keep up with the development of the times.

There are many talented young players in Chelsea's squad, and so does his team!

In today's Community Shield match, Manchester City is likely to lose.

But as long as he can show the momentum to show his sword to Chelsea in the game.

If the new players in the team can establish the idea that they have the strength to compete with Chelsea, then Guardiola will be very satisfied!

With this kind of thinking, Guardiola is very Buddhist in his pursuit of today's results.

His calmness even surprised the Sky Sports commentator.

Mourinho did not see what his old friend was thinking today.

But his instinct told him that this would not be a good thing.

"Manchester City's tactical style has changed a lot. Their defensive positioning is much closer than before, and now their double midfielder's running coverage ability is also stronger.

If Li Ang hadn’t scored the first goal, I feel that we would have probably had to wait until the second half to determine the outcome of today’s game…”

Holland's voice came from his side, and Mourinho nodded subconsciously when he heard the words.

And in the game at this moment, Chelsea's players also clearly felt the offensive pressure that Manchester City continued to exert on them!

Manchester City's players on the field were unswervingly implementing the tactical strategy laid out by Guardiola before the game.

They did not flinch because they lost the ball first, nor did they have the sudden confusion in the team's tactical thinking like last season.

Li Ang also felt a bit of trouble, but he did not express his thoughts about the game situation on his facial expressions.

At least on the surface, he is still quite calm at the moment, which can bring more confidence to his teammates.

Compared to other Chelsea players, Kroos has a better ability to read the game.

Of course he could also see the situation of the game that Li Ang could see at this moment.

However, at the critical moment, Cross, like his current teammates, is more willing to believe in the tactical judgment made by Li Ang!

Chelsea is still in a defensive rhythm of shrinking formation.

But when Li Ang made a tactical gesture to Kroos, Chelsea was destined to make certain tactical changes under Manchester City's stormy offensive at this moment.

Li Ang wanted to withstand the pressure and find opportunities to counterattack. He didn't want Manchester City to suppress Chelsea's siege so smoothly.

It is so abnormal that Manchester City is almost unaffected by conceding goals and is still actively looking for offensive opportunities!

Li Ang felt it was necessary to "cool down" them.

Even if the counterattack can no longer bring Chelsea a goal to expand their lead, it can at least interrupt Manchester City's current hot offensive momentum!

The necessary tactical risks are worth taking.

And if something goes wrong, Mourinho off the field will also make tactical adjustments in time.

Li Ang is not worried that his head coach will not take the long-term view of the tactical game as well as him.

Thinking of this, he was also bold. He changed his previous playing style of cooperating with Matic to defend in the backcourt, and began to press forward more actively to look for steal opportunities!

Mourinho quickly saw the change in Li Ang's defensive method off the court. He raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much.

Instead, he cheered up and observed the changes in the situation on the field more carefully.

Li Ang's active defensive pressure was like a clarion call for tactical changes, and the Chelsea players in the backcourt also cooperated with him to press more actively.

The fast-paced offense and defense made the players on both teams consume a lot of physical energy at this moment.

However, the fans in front of the TV were completely addicted.

This kind of fast-paced master duel scene is indeed what they like to see very much.

Manchester City indeed showed more bloodiness in confrontation compared to last season.

However, Chelsea has been immersed in the field of crazy running and pressing tactics for two years. At this moment, regardless of physical strength, they can still steal the ball from the feet of Manchester City players.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Sterling made a forced error on the wing and kicked the back pass to Cross who was looking for an interception opportunity.

Li Ang started to move forward immediately, and Cross's through ball was just right.

The next moment, Li Ang, who touched the ball, did not continue to dribble forward, but directly sent an overhead long pass of more than 40 meters!

If Ibrahimovic has not left the team, facing this long ball sent by Li Ang at this moment, he will most likely be able to block his position first and then distribute the ball to the wing.

But at the moment, it is Suarez who is at the front of Chelsea's formation.

Facing this pass from Li Ang, his first reaction was not to protect the ball and separate the sides, but to continue to advance with the ball after unloading it!

This choice is not wrong, because Suarez does have the ability to advance with the ball.

It's just that Chelsea's offensive players have been accustomed to fixed offensive routines in the past two seasons.

So now Hazard and De Bruyne are running more to the wings instead of moving closer to the center to meet Suarez.

Suarez, who was caught up by Fernandinho, saw that his teammates on the wing were far away from him. In the end, he had no choice but to stop dribbling and wait for his teammates to catch up.

This undoubtedly greatly delayed Chelsea's counterattack.

Fortunately, Li Ang's forward penetration was very timely at this moment. Suarez also withstood Fernandinho's defensive interference. After careful observation, he used his heel to pass the ball to Li Ang who continued to advance!

Chelsea's counterattack chariot, which had some minor problems, continued to roar at this moment!

Li Ang's advance forced Gundogan to abandon his defensive zone to interfere defensively.

And just when Gundogan took the initiative to intercept Li Ang, Li Ang's decisive and skillful passing of the ball also appeared in the live broadcast footage again!

"Leon sent a long diagonal pass! What a good ball! Kolarov failed to hit the high ball, and De Bruyne's position was empty!"

The commentator of England's Sky Sports lengthened his commentary tone at this moment, which made many fans in front of the TV nervous and expectant!

After getting the ball, De Bruyne, who continued to penetrate at high speed, calmly and quickly observed the situation inside and outside the Manchester City penalty area at this moment.

Suarez headed towards the back of Manchester City's penalty area. Seeing this, De Bruyne decisively sent out his cross at this moment!

However, the direction of his cross was not the direction of Suarez's movement, but the point in front of Manchester City's penalty area!

After Kompany was taken away by Suarez's movement, facing Otamendi's marking, Li Ang was full of confidence!

After fully kicking off the ground, Li Ang and Otamendi had a head-on battle for the top of the penalty area!

In the end, he had the upper hand and hit the ball first. However, this time he did not directly swing his head to attack the goal, but chose to fly the ball with a header!

The football was pushed towards the center of the penalty area by him.

And Suarez, who seemed to be targeted by Kompany before, but never gave up his movement to look for a second chance, also turned around like a ghost at this time!

He didn't stop the ball and directly chose to volley and shoot!

The football flew straight to the near corner of Manchester City's goal!

Bravo had been nervously watching Li Ang's rush to the top, but now he had no time to sprint over from the other end of the goal to make a save? !

When he saw the football entering the Manchester City goal without any suspense, Li Ang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked up at Suarez, who was confident of scoring the goal. The latter was also pointing at him with a bright smile on his face!

"Nice cum, Louis!"

"Hahaha! I knew you could notice my movement. It's because you pass the ball so well!"

The two laughed and hugged to celebrate near the baseline!

After a while, other Chelsea players in the midfield and frontcourt also ran over and celebrated passionately with them!

Their eyes were blazing, and their celebration words did not shy away from their desire for championship honors!

Six crowns?

That is not the ceiling of football honors.

Because this year Chelsea will take great strides towards winning seven crowns!
