Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Before the game even lasted ten minutes, Manchester United was scored by Chelsea. This familiar scene made countless Red Devils fans in front of the TV subconsciously cover their heads.

The tens of thousands of Manchester United fans at the scene were even more numb, because they themselves could no longer remember that this was the first time that Li Ang had scored Manchester United's goal at Old Trafford!

Van Gaal couldn't hold back, stretched out his hands and roared at the Manchester United starting players on the field!

He could actually accept the fact that Chelsea took the lead at Old Trafford.

Because he knows in his heart that there is a huge strength gap between Manchester United and Chelsea.

But he couldn't accept that his tactics failed at such an early point in time!

This not only means that his tactical intention of using the defensive midfielder to consume the physical energy of Chelsea's offensive players has been defeated, but it also means that he made serious "mistakes" in tactics and selection of starting players!

The group of senior Manchester United players headed by Rooney are now eager for him to lead the team to a disastrous defeat.

They have basically broken up with each other, and with his temper, he now bows his head and admits that he still has to rely on Rooney, Carrick and others?

Then he would rather resign and leave!

It was impossible for him to bow his head and admit his mistake.

No matter how harmonious he had been with certain players in the past, as long as he wanted to stay away from him, he had to accept the fact that he was a substitute in his team!

The sullen Van Gaal called up Ashley Young and Januzaj from the bench and asked them to go directly to the sidelines to warm up.

These two Manchester United players are still closer to the coaching staff now. As for Juan Mata and Valencia, who are closer to Rooney and the others, Van Gaal has not even glanced at them.

Fellaini, who had just collected his emotions on the court, saw Van Gaal calling the substitutes to warm up on the sidelines, and his psychological pressure suddenly increased.

After all, his defensive position was very serious when he lost the ball just now. Even if he was subjectively very active and active in defense, if you want to find someone who takes the blame, he will definitely take the blame for the team's loss of the ball!

Van Gaal's actions can be regarded as a wake-up call for several other Manchester United starting midfielders.

Ability has now become a secondary issue, they must show a positive attitude on the field that satisfies Van Gaal.

If anyone completely disappoints Van Gaal in today's game, it is very likely that he will be relegated to the bench later on.

There is no time to continue to complain or be upset until Chelsea finishes celebrating the goal and the game restarts.

Manchester United's four midfielders quickly showed their "positive attitude".

Playing the game normally, their horizontal coverage area and sweeping speed are destined to be unable to prevent Chelsea's offensive penetration.

In order to effectively disrupt Chelsea's offensive rhythm, they had to break out of the normal thinking mode of playing football.

What should I do if I can’t kick the ball?

Just kick someone!

This method is very unprofessional and cannot be discussed on the table.

But it has to be said that in many cases this vulgar and direct lethal tactic is indeed very effective.

Herrera and Bastian Schweinsteiger may have restrained themselves.

But Fellaini and Schneiderlin were not polite, and they directly attacked Cross and Hazard, who was slightly weaker in confrontation!

Fellaini's first attack on Cross was relatively subtle. Leon was far away from the scene of the incident and did not see it clearly. By the time he passed by, Cross had already stood up with his teeth bared.

But two minutes later, Schneiderlin's black-footed tackle on Hazard's ankle from behind was clearly seen by Li Ang!

Li Ang rushed much faster than the referee this time. Schneiderlin just finished the tackle and stood up from the turf. Li Ang directly pushed him to the sideline!

"I'll fucking kill you!!!"

After pushing Schneiderlin to the sidelines, the frustrated Li Ang wanted to kick him, but Matic, who was closer to him, hugged him down with quick eyes and quick hands!

"Calm down brother! You have to calm down! You can't kick him! If he kicks you, go down with him..."

Brother Ma persuaded Li Ang loudly in his ear.

At this moment, other Chelsea and Manchester United players who were relatively close also rushed over to separate Li Ang and Schneiderlin.

But what's a bit funny is that the Manchester United players who came around also immediately advised Li Ang not to get too excited.

Maybe they know they are wrong, but few Manchester United starting players will stand on Schneiderlin's side and scream at Li Ang.

This scene is actually a bit funny. After all, as long as there is a dispute on the court, no matter who is right or wrong, the players of the same team must at least stand together and speak out unanimously.

Not to mention the Red Devils players of the generation of Cantona and Keane.

Let’s just say that the group of Manchester United players headed by Rooney in the past few seasons will never be timid when encountering such a conflict on the court, and will only step forward and be tough!

A "sane" Manchester United may be praised by the Football Association and some sports media.

But their performance at this moment made the Manchester United fans at home feel chilled again!

In contrast, Li Ang's straightforward temper and style of standing up for his teammates are more popular with old-school fans.

That is to say, I finally saw Hazard stand up normally again under the quick treatment of the team doctor.

Otherwise, Li Ang would have to teach Schneiderlin a lesson even if he was suspended today!

The referee was relieved when he saw that there was no major problem with Hazard's ankle.

He first called Li Ang aside, repeatedly emphasized the injustice of violence on the court, and gave Li Ang a verbal warning.

Then he called Schneiderlin in front of him with a serious face, and under the anxious and nervous gaze of the Manchester United fans at the scene, he took out a yellow card for Schneiderlin.

This kind of penalty is justified. After all, it is still Manchester United's home court, so it is okay to give Manchester United a little care.

Li Ang was still a little dissatisfied, but after the referee had determined the penalty scale, he didn't say much. He took a deep look at Schneiderlin and turned towards Hazard.

"He'll pay, I promise you, Eden!"

Li Ang made his promise to Hazard. He was not joking, he was very serious.

Of course Hazard was very moved, but he was also afraid that Li Ang would do something outrageous on the field later.

"Of course I believe you, boss! But I really don't feel any discomfort now. Don't be impulsive. We will retaliate against them through competition!"

When Li Ang heard what Azar said, he smiled and patted his shoulder and nodded.

The game quickly returned to normal, and Chelsea's midfield and frontcourt offensive players played a more rapid offensive rhythm.

Li Ang pressed very forward and ran very actively to get the ball. He seemed to have a strong desire to attack.

Only three minutes passed after the game returned to normal, and Li Ang fired two powerful long-range shots from outside Manchester United's penalty area!

Although De Gea, who performed bravely, successfully saved both of Li Ang's long-range shots, the Manchester United defenders who felt the amazing speed of Li Ang's long-range shots at close range were still frightened!

"Don't give him a chance to kick off! Damn it! Just kill him outside the defensive third!"

De Gea roared unceremoniously at his defensive teammates.

He is usually quite calm and does not lose his temper as often as other goalkeepers.

But at this moment, he really felt the threat of Li Ang's long-range shot, but now the defense line was without the experienced duo of Ferdinand and Vidic.

With relatively more seniority, he has to take on more defensive responsibilities at this moment, roaring to remind his defensive teammates to cheer up!

Li Ang saw that De Gea was indeed in excellent condition, so he stopped trying too many long shots.

However, his attention then focused more on Blind in Manchester United's defense.

Blind may be able to become a more all-around excellent defensive player in the future, but his most suitable position will definitely not be central defender!

Although there are many short legendary central defenders in football, their strong physical fitness, especially their jumping ability, are not comparable to Blind.

The previous scene of Suarez holding down Blind to complete the overhead shot came to Li Ang's mind again.

Li Ang thoughtfully began to retreat and defend.

After Manchester United got the ball, their offense didn't pose much of a threat. After all, their midfield configuration today is filled with more muscles than skills.

Lukaku's breakthrough attempts after taking the ball in the frontcourt can still be seen, but he is only one person, and Chelsea's defensive players know him too well.

After three strikes, Lukaku could only fall into Chelsea's defensive stranglehold. Manchester United provided too little passing support for him, and he was ultimately unable to support himself.

After Li Ang took the ball from Matic again, he began to signal Hazard to return to the front line, and he also consciously distributed the ball to the two wing forwards.

Azar and Salah immediately understood what Li Ang was thinking.

In their inherent offensive routine, once Li Ang starts to take the lead in delivering cannonballs to the two wing forwards, it means Chelsea will focus on set-piece tactics!

If the two wings take turns to attack the tactic, Li Ang will hand over the organizing power to Kroos. After the defenders on the two wings follow suit, he will move more to the rib area of ​​the opponent's half.

Li Ang's state of running and receiving the ball is different, so Chelsea's offensive tactics on the field will also undergo corresponding fine-tuning changes.

It's hard for outsiders to see it, but the players in Chelsea's first team are very familiar with it.

Lukaku also wanted to remind the defensive players in the team's backcourt.

But then he thought about the "alienation" of Manchester United's first team players from him during this period, and he suddenly no longer wanted to be sentimental...

Hazard and Salah's ability to get the ball and break through was fully demonstrated during this period.

Luke Shaw could hold on and fight against the incompletely evolved Salah, but Damian was completely defeated when he faced Hazard!

Due to his lack of strength, Damian could only start taking tactical fouls.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Damian once again brought down Hazard on the right edge of the Manchester United penalty area, giving Chelsea an excellent set-piece opportunity!

De Gea nervously directed his teammates to adjust their positions in front of the goal.

Chelsea's three previous set-piece opportunities were considered threats to Manchester United's goal.

Especially Zouma, who replaced Maguire in the starting lineup today, is also a tough header!

Just three minutes ago, Zouma overwhelmed Smalling in a corner kick and almost headed the ball into the center of Manchester United's goal!

If De Gea hadn't been focused enough and made another great save, Manchester United would never have been just one goal behind Chelsea at this time.

At this moment, watching Zouma squeeze into his own penalty area again, De Gea had to be 100% alert to deal with this troublesome header master...

Ten seconds later, Cross observed the position of the players on both sides of the Manchester United penalty area, raised his right arm, and then took off and passed the ball into the Manchester United penalty area!

Suddenly, the players from Chelsea and Manchester United clashed with each other in a fierce confrontation!

Let alone De Gea at this moment, the defensive players in the Manchester United penalty area and most of the Manchester United fans at the scene were all focused on Zouma, who had performed exceptionally well in the aerial challenge.

Amid the passionate roar of England's Sky Sports commentator, Zouma once again defeated Smalling in front of Manchester United's penalty area, occupying an absolute advantage in the top position!

However, the football was higher than his head after taking off, spinning further towards the center of the Manchester United penalty area!

De Gea was shocked and quickly adjusted his perspective.

But what was faster than him was Li Ang's head-swinging action after knocking Blind away!

This time Li Ang pushed the football into the near corner of the Manchester United goal very cleverly!

De Gea originally wanted to pay attention to the Chelsea players in the middle of the penalty area and the far corner, but after being hit by Li Ang, he had to turn around and rush back to the front point.

But the few tenths of a second he wasted in the process doomed his save this time to fall short!

De Gea stretched his fingertips as far as possible to touch the ball, but in the end he touched nothing!

The football plunged into the net above the near corner of Manchester United's goal!

When the netizens were dancing, thousands of Chelsea fans at the scene burst into roaring cheers that overwhelmed tens of thousands of Manchester United goals!

Li Ang roared a few times in the direction of Schneiderlin, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and then he slapped the team emblem on his chest and ran towards the bottom line of Manchester United's half!

Roaring, sliding and kneeling, celebrating, Li Ang's celebration movements were completed in one go!

But his subsequent celebration of punching the air passionately seemed to hit all Manchester United supporters in the face!

It hurts, I feel embarrassed, I feel angry!

But Manchester United fans are also helpless.

Once this goal was scored, Manchester United was basically unable to escape defeat!

After celebrating for several minutes, Chelsea's players surrounded Li Ang and returned to their own half in a mighty manner.

With only about ten minutes left in the first half, Chelsea no longer continued to attack Manchester United, but began to play pass control in the midfield.

Humiliating? Objectively speaking, it doesn't count, because Manchester City plays this trick more often.

At this moment, all fans understand that Chelsea's players are subjectively humiliating Manchester United!

Ridiculing these players representing Manchester United for their lack of skills and losing the fighting spirit of the Red Devils!

Kicking someone if you can't kick the ball on the field is not the spirit of the Red Devils, it is just a performance that cannot afford to lose!

Manchester United's players on the field were very angry, and Van Gaal was also very angry off the field.

But what role can anger play?

During the halftime period, Van Gaal gave the Manchester United players a lot of blood, hoping that they could really fight hard!

But after the start of the second half, Manchester United was very active in grabbing the ball, but Chelsea continued to steadily control the ball in their own half.

After overcoming the fierce fighting of the Manchester United players at the start of the second half, Chelsea continued to press aggressively.

However, Chelsea pressed forward, which gave Manchester United another opportunity to counterattack defensively.

In the 66th minute of the second half, Manchester United, which was resisting pressure, finally steadily grabbed the ball in the backcourt.

Herrera cleverly used his back to protect the ball and pass it back.

Smalling received the ball and then sent a powerful through ball. The football penetrated the counter-attack interception of Chelsea forwards and reached the feet of Schneiderlin with great accuracy.

The French midfielder was overjoyed, received the ball, turned around and started dribbling the ball forward!

But less than a second before he dribbled the ball, a sharp pain came from his heel. The pain made him fall to the ground and started to cover his feet and scream in pain!

The cheering at Old Trafford almost stopped at this moment, but the next moment, crazy boos swept the entire stadium and went straight to Li Ang!

Li Ang stood up from the turf with a very calm expression. Without even looking at Schneiderlin, who he had knocked down, he turned around and faced the Manchester United players who were running towards him angrily.

However, his teammates took the lead and built a "wall" between him and the angry Manchester United players!

Li Ang looked directly at the excited Manchester United generals, and he did not feel any shame or regret in his heart.

He is very magnanimous!

He understood that he had made a mistake and had broken his own professional ethics.

But he never regretted using the same method to make Schneiderlin feel the pain that Hazard had felt!

Maybe he will pay the price for this, but he still has to choose to stand up for his teammates!

At this moment, other Chelsea players also supported their captain with firm protective actions!

Players from Chelsea and Manchester United clashed tit-for-tat.

The referee on duty was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect Li Ang to pretend to compromise in front of others, but he endured it for half an hour and then came back with revenge. In private, he was so "revengeful"!

With a shrill whistle, the referee rushed to the middle of the chaotic collision of players and separated the players on both sides.

"Leon!"

Amidst the solemn summons from the referee, Li Ang looked over and saw a dazzling red light being raised high, which also meant that he had been sentenced to death by the referee!

But the emotion in Li Ang's eyes was still very stable. He did not choose to appeal, but took off the captain's armband from his arm.

"Eden, I'm sorry, please..."

After putting the captain's armband on Hazard, the vice-captain on the field, Li Ang held his head high and walked off the field in the face of all kinds of insults and boos from tens of thousands of Manchester United fans!

He scored twice and scored two goals to help the team establish a victory at Old Trafford. It is his responsibility as the core of Chelsea's offense!

But at the same time, it is also his responsibility to help his teammates who are being bullied and make his opponents pay the price!

This is his responsibility as the captain of the team!
