Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 351 The little lion’s alternative journey home

Mourinho's face was a little ugly, but it was not because of Li Ang's red card, but because too many Manchester United fans booed Li Ang.

He didn't say much, he just gave Li Ang a firm hug as soon as he came off the field to show his support for Li Ang!

As for those Manchester United fans who couldn't stop insulting Li Ang?

Mourinho raised his head and took a deep look at them.

Admittedly, these Manchester United fans are not wrong, they are just grieving for their injured players.

But as Li Ang's "boss", Mourinho does not want to do any neutral and objective thinking at this moment.

He just wants to make these people who boo his disciples and Manchester United pay the price!

Li Ang walked into the player tunnel accompanied by Karas and Holland.

The Chelsea players who were still on the scene at this moment, whether they were starting players or substitutes, stared at the Manchester United half-court with great anger.

Of course, the Manchester United players are also very angry at the moment.

Because Schneiderlin, who was shoveled to the ground by Li Ang, was still unable to continue the game after being treated by the team doctor, and was replaced by Van Gaal in advance.

Fortunately, Schneiderlin's ligaments and ankle joints were fine after preliminary examination by the team doctor. His inability to continue the game was mostly due to the injury caused by Li Ang's foot.

Regardless of whether Schneiderlin also deliberately committed a foul against Hazard before.

Anyway, the final result is that Chelsea did not suffer any attrition, but their Manchester United team actually suffered attrition due to injuries.

A brother was deliberately beaten by his opponent on the field. This is a shame for Manchester United's starting players!

Everyone is angry. Regardless of whether they are qualified to be Chelsea's opponents in terms of strength, at least now on the court, Manchester United's players have the opportunity to fight back against Chelsea with tougher confrontation.

After the game restarted, Manchester United tried to take over control of the midfield to suppress Chelsea, taking advantage of one more player on the field.

But the players on the field at Manchester United did not expect that Mourinho would insist on changing to a three-centre-back system and continue to fight with Manchester United!

Trippier was moved to the midfield position by Mourinho.

Although he cannot replace Li Ang, with him and Matic providing defensive protection on both sides of the midfield, Cross can also support Chelsea's offensive organization!

Manchester United pressed ahead regardless of their hips, but Chelsea quickly seized the opportunity and launched a quick counterattack!

In the 71st minute of the second half, Cross received the ball and made a long pass to the right to find Salah, who also advanced to counterattack.

Salah forced a cut inside, passed Fellaini who was guarding him, and then sent a through ball into the ribs to help Suarez score a single goal!

Suarez's superb push from the far corner made De Gea, who was in great form today, show no temper at all.

After scoring, Suarez rushed directly to the sideline and roared at the stands where Manchester United fans gathered!

He used to do this because he was a Liverpool player, but now he also made such a celebration after the transfer because he also wanted to stand up for his teammates!

Other Chelsea players swarmed over and followed Suarez's example, slapping their chests and roaring at the Manchester United fans in the stands!

Manchester United's players quit and came over to ask for explanations, but to be honest, they are now three goals behind. This seemingly iron-blooded approach is not very convincing.

As soon as Chelsea scored the goal, Mourinho immediately made substitution adjustments on the sidelines.

Hazard, Salah and Kroos were all replaced by Mourinho, replaced by Karas, Van Ginkel and Terry, who recently returned from injury.

As for these defensive players, Mourinho is not actually doing it for better defense...

When Karas, who had just started playing as a right back, brought down Herrera with a fierce frontal tackle, it triggered another large-scale conflict between the players of Manchester United and Chelsea.

The neutral fans in front of the TV instantly understood what Mourinho's true intention was in playing these defensive players.

"Good guy, you won't suffer at all in the fight, right?! No wonder he removed the winger and another playmaker in the midfield in advance. Mourinho made this plan well!"

"It's bloody, I like it! Come on, Manchester United players! Let's fight!"

"If Manchester United can be beaten by Chelsea at Old Trafford today, then I really look down on them! These players are simply embarrassing the Red Devils!"

"Hasn't the Red Devils lost their face a long time ago? Moyes didn't spend much money at the beginning, and he took care of him well. Why do you think these idiots at the top of Manchester United are so anxious to replace him..."

Many fans started discussing it enthusiastically on the Internet.

They no longer care about the final outcome of the game between Chelsea and Manchester United. They just want to know whether the two teams will really fight on the court.

Mourinho's substitution adjustments are basically to end the game in person.

But what's even more damning is that the Manchester United players, who have the advantage of home court, really don't dare to fight Chelsea like this!

Both teams received a lot of yellow cards in the last 20 minutes of the game.

Chelsea's defense players received three yellow cards directly, and Manchester United also received three yellow cards. The scene was once heated out of control.

However, the larger conflict was resolved in time by the referee on duty. Well... 6 yellow cards were issued in 20 minutes, how could it not be in time?

Manchester United is going downhill.

Terry, the former captain of Chelsea, plans to lead a group of young men to block the door of Manchester United's dressing room!

However, Mourinho finally spoke and did not let Terry continue to make the matter bigger.

At the post-match press conference, Mourinho was full of fire and strongly criticized Manchester United's devastating tactical foul against Chelsea in the first half of the game today!

Van Gaal was naturally not to be outdone. After all, judging from the results, Li Ang was expelled from the game.

Manchester United is right, and Van Gaal is full of confidence. He even called on the Football Association to seriously deal with the vicious incident on the pitch where Li Ang retaliated and injured Schneiderlin.

However, contrary to many people's expectations, the Football Association did not immediately issue a detailed punishment explanation for Li Ang's retaliatory tackle on the field.

Of course, the first timetable is to make a statement. After all, the Football Association has always disliked such vicious and hurtful incidents that hinder commercial promotion in the Premier League.

Many neutral fans who are watching for fun are also interested and want to see how the Football Association will punish the current Premier League superstar Li Ang this time.

Manchester United officially gave Schneiderlin's injury report that night.

Part of the soft tissue of the ankle was bruised, and the photo of the severely swollen ankle posted by Schneiderlin on his personal social media is quite shocking.

But old fans who know football all know what this so-called injury of soft tissue contusion is all about.

Compared with damage to ligaments and bones and joints, that is completely childish!

As long as the soft tissue contusion is not serious, the athlete can return to competition after more than a week of rest.

In other words, there is no big problem with Schneiderlin at all.

The photos look scary, but after timely treatment, the swelling in his ankle was reduced in two days.

Therefore, Li Ang is not as "heinous" as the local Manchester media is currently criticizing.

Of course his behavior is wrong and needs to be criticized, but in terms of the results, his punishment does not need to be as serious as a suspension of more than ten games.

Not long after the results of Schneiderlin's injury assessment came out, the Football Association officially issued the final penalty notice:

Serious warning, fine of 100,000 pounds, plus a three-match ban!

As soon as the penalty results came out, most Premier League fans immediately felt that the FA had indeed done a good job this time.

The fine of 100,000 pounds is not a small amount. In addition to the standard three-game suspension, Chelsea will also be affected by the league record due to Li Ang's "irrational" behavior this time.

But if you take a closer look at the FA's punishment, you will find that the FA is actually quite obviously biased.

A retaliatory and hurtful foul in front of hundreds of millions or even more than a billion fans during one of the Premier League's most watched games?

That is Li Ang. If he had been replaced by another player, he would not have been severely fined and suspended for seven or eight games by the Football Association, which would be completely inconsistent with the current punishment style of the Football Association.

After all, the worldwide promotion of the Premier League is now in full swing, and any vicious incident that damages the image of the Premier League will be resolutely suppressed by the Football Association!

After all, that flagrant foul not only kicked down a certain Premier League player, but also probably kicked off an important business negotiation in the Premier League.

Li Ang is a special being with his own supermarket, so the FA is only willing to give him some relief.

A fine of £100,000 plus a standard three-game ban can silence others.

This is also equivalent to a disguised reminder to Li Ang:

I know you have money, but if we are really determined to fine you and suspend you, we can still fine you. This time, we will fine you more and suspend you less. There will be no next time. Next time you make this mistake again, it will not be so easy. Passed...

Li Ang didn't realize the FA's good intentions at first, but Mendes got the signal.

While mobilizing public opinion and public relations to establish Li Ang's loyal image of "standing up for his brothers," he also took over Li Ang's personal media to issue an "apology" statement.

Of course, there is an apology in the name, but in fact, the entire statement, polished by Li Ang's management team, is an apology for Li Ang not taking the lead in promoting the image of the Premier League.

There is also an apology to the fans who support Li Ang, but there is no apology statement to Manchester United and Schneiderlin.

In the eyes of many managers of other Premier League clubs in the industry, the FA's punishment of Li Ang this time also showed tenderness.

They must also be dissatisfied.

After all, is it treated differently? The FA's three-match ban is not painful at all. Players who usually make mistakes against their team are completely selfless!

But to be honest, many commercial endorsement contracts from China in the past two seasons have further enriched their clubs’ pockets...

Thinking about the possible increase in endorsement income next year, these Premier League club executives will turn a blind eye and stop getting involved in this troublesome matter.

Of course, Manchester United refused to give up. They expressed their dissatisfaction with the penalty imposed by the Football Association on Li Ang, and then continued to appeal, demanding a heavy penalty for Li Ang!

After Chelsea directly paid a fine of 100,000 pounds for Li Ang, they also collected a collection of malicious fouls committed by Manchester United players against Chelsea players in the last round of games, and also filed an appeal tit for tat!

The two clubs are still waging war on their respective relationships in the public opinion arena, and the Football Association is still having a headache.

But Li Ang, who was at the center of public opinion, acted as if nothing was wrong. After resting comfortably for two days, he once again started training during the international competition.

On this international break, most of the players in Chelsea's first team have been called up by their respective national teams.

Li Ang took the remaining young players for a round of physical training at the Cobham training base.

Mourinho brought several young players from the second team to the first team for training.

After the international match day ended, Mourinho looked at the main players in the team who had just finished two national team games and had some physical problems. He made a decisive decision and asked Zuma and others to do their best. Preparation for the start of the fifth round of the league.

At times like this in the past, Li Ang would continue to start the game as the core of the lineup.

But now that Li Ang is suspended, Mourinho has to rely more on substitute players, hoping that these young lads can take on the key games of the main team's physical recovery.

On the afternoon of September 12th, Chelsea will travel to Goodison Park away from home. They will compete with Everton in the fifth round of the Premier League.

In this round of the league, Suarez, Hazard, Matic, Thiago Silva and Azpilicueta were not selected into the starting lineup.

Kroos joins De Bruyne in midfield for the first time.

Behind them is Van Ginkel, and in front of them is the new strike trident composed of Gnabry, Llorente and Salah.

In defense, Bertrand once again returned to the starting lineup.

He and Trippier served as Chelsea's starting left and right full-backs today.

The double central defender is partnered by Maguire and Gary Cahill.

The starting goalkeeper is still Oblak, whose condition has not been affected much.

The backcourt strength of Chelsea's starting lineup actually looks quite good, but the forward line is somewhat frustrating to Chelsea fans.

However, after the game officially started that day, Llorente still used his rich game experience and strong confrontation ability to help his teammates overcome the situation on the offensive end.

The tall Spanish center can carry people and hold the ball. Mourinho cannot be too comfortable with such a high center.

Although the two-wings flying tactic failed to work well due to Gnabry's slightly nervous state that day, Salah completed his tactical task.

Evra's right back Galloway was completely eaten alive by Salah!

In the first half of the game alone, Salah successfully broke through Galloway as many as 6 times!

After tearing apart Everton's right-side defense, Salah was able to make waves in Everton's penalty area. After cutting inside, whether he was shooting or passing, he could disturb Everton's defenders!

Salah passed and shot in the first half to help Chelsea lead Everton 2-1.

Although Everton scored the equalizer first in the second half, Llorente's goal at the critical moment once again helped Chelsea seal the victory!

In the end, Chelsea narrowly defeated Everton with one goal and took away three points from the away game.

Chelsea's new bench gangsters not only proved their important value to the team, but also bought valuable three days of rest for the main players.

Three days later, Mourinho and his team boarded a plane to Madrid, Spain.

This is both an away trip and a special "return".

On the way to the hotel on the bus from the airport, Chelsea players were surprised to find:

On both sides of the road, there were many fans wearing Real Madrid jerseys holding high cards to welcome Mourinho and Liang "home"!

Li Ang smiled and lay by the window along the way, waving to the familiar Real Madrid fans.

Mourinho also always had a smile of memories on his face.

Yes, they "go home"!
