Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"Chelsea is still very resilient! Not long after the 30th minute of the first half, Li Ang scored a goal to help Chelsea equalize the score!

Now the moment has come to test the mentality of the players on West Ham United. I wonder if the players of West Ham United can stabilize the game situation in this situation? "

After finishing the celebration of Li Ang's key goal in the studio, Zhan Jun also "thought" for the players on the West Ham United field.

However, it was West Ham United head coach Bilic off the field who showed even more impatience at this moment.

He seemed very unable to accept the reality that the team was equalized so early, which completely disrupted his tactical deployment.

After urgent discussions, he and the assistant coach finally decided not to continue to attack Chelsea forcefully, but to hold on and drag the game into the halftime break.

But as soon as he gave such tactical instructions, Chelsea's coaching staff was extremely happy.

Now that Chelsea is in full swing, if West Ham United chooses to continue to resist tenaciously, it will still cause a lot of trouble for Chelsea's suppressive offense.

But if they choose to continue to be a coward, then they are completely handing the knife to the hands of the Chelsea players.

Chelsea really likes such a "docile" opponent when he plays smoothly!

West Ham United chose to continue to shrink their formation and cling to the last ten minutes of the first half.

Li Ang was not polite at all when he saw this. When the game restarted, he and Cross directly pressed the offensive line to the West Ham United half!

Shrinking formation, right?

You want to stick to it, right?

Playing this trick in front of Chelsea, who are best at setting up and breaking buses, Li Ang can only say that West Ham United's coaching staff is also big-hearted.

With his and Cross's calm organization and dispatch, Chelsea's three forwards all pulled outside the West Ham United penalty area, posing and taking turns to receive the ball and look for opportunities to hit long shots.

In order to make it easier for Salah to cut inside and start kicking, he deliberately changed the wing position with De Bruyne.

Suarez also has very good long-range shooting skills, and his shooting skills are outstanding. If he picks up the ball in the right position and swings it, he is a great threat!

What's more important is that behind the three of them there is Li Ang, the human cannon.

As long as Li Ang gets the ball from behind, the West Ham United defenders will be shocked!

However, Chelsea's long-range shooting style is not to forcefully break West Ham United's goal, but to find more set-piece opportunities.

This tactical style of play is very familiar to Chelsea players, including Suarez, who just joined this summer. After all, they have practiced it many times on the training ground.

The long-range shot must be powerful and the angle must be as tricky as possible, in order to force the opponent's goalkeeper to save the football from the bottom line as much as possible!

And when there are enough corner kick opportunities, Maguire, the top-fighting monster, will shine throughout the game.

In fact, West Ham United's central defender combination is already at the forefront of the Premier League in terms of confrontation. Collins and Tomkins are both tall central defenders and their air defense capabilities are not weak.

However, these two big men in the Premier League still look a little small in front of Maguire, a humanoid monster that is 1.95 meters tall and weighs 95 kilograms~

Moreover, the Chelsea team also has a number of header experts. With Maguire's aerial challenge, they can get enough opportunities to reach the top.

West Ham United's air defense capabilities are good, but after all, they still cannot withstand Chelsea's high-frequency header bombing.

In the 44th minute of the first half, Kallas used the intimidating cover of Maguire and Li Ang in the penalty area to successfully score from the back of West Ham United's goal!

Bilic seemed to have really broken the defense at this moment. He cursed in front of the coach's bench, which put great pressure on the players on the West Ham United field.

Chelsea, on the other hand, was completely relaxed and celebrating.

After the halftime break, Chelsea decisively launched a defensive counterattack. Bilic felt that Mourinho was disgusting with him, but he could not find any evidence and could only continue to put pressure on his disciples.

But the fact is that he thinks too much.

Chelsea's bench is not deep enough this season, so the tactical play set by Chelsea's coaching staff has a large proportion of counterattack prevention.

In the first two seasons, Chelsea often played counter-attacks, but when it was time to attack, they would also attack wildly. Sometimes they couldn't hold back, and it was no problem to score five or six goals against the mid-to-lower teams.

But this season, Chelsea faced relatively weak teams, and winning games was very economical. If you can't waste too much physical energy, don't waste it.

It's the same thing now against West Ham United.

Chelsea can suppress the opponent from start to finish, but it is not necessary, especially with the recent tight schedule.

Mourinho gave up on the next round of the League Cup. Of course, the physical fitness he saved will be used in subsequent tough battles in the league and the Champions League.

So a Chelsea, whose playing style was slightly obscene and could no longer be stubborn, appeared at Upton Park.

In the second half, Li Ang concentrated on locking Payet. He himself did not perform more on the offensive end, but accordingly, Payet, the engine of West Ham United's frontcourt, also stalled.

After the two of them "lost both sides", Chelsea was able to defend patiently with a one-goal lead, but West Ham United became more and more anxious as they played. They also wanted to score points at home.

Bilic made substitution adjustments early in the 60th minute of the second half.

He first replaced Sakho, who performed poorly today, with former Liverpool center Carroll, and then replaced Zarate with another forward Antonio, switching to 442.

Such a retro adjustment made Mourinho shake his head on the sidelines.

After all, we are about to enter 2016, and there are still head coaches of top teams in the top league who believe that the 4-4-2 formation can change their fate?

Mourinho himself has stopped playing 442 for a long time anyway. It would be better to change 4231 to 433. This shows that Bilic is indeed a bit over the top.

But this is absolutely good news for Chelsea.

West Ham United changed to 442, and Chelsea further reduced their formation to block the center, and let West Ham United play the trick of passing from the bottom.

Old Premier League fans all know what Carroll's real strength is. He and Antonio together can't compete with Maguire.

Not to mention that Ma Datou also has a big brother Thiago Silva.

The last 30 minutes of the second half almost became an offensive and defensive exercise between Chelsea and West Ham United.

However, Chelsea, who actively defended, was the side that completely controlled the rhythm of the game.

Because they guide almost all the offensive directions of West Ham United.

And Chelsea, who was fully defensive, finally succeeded in letting the more than 30,000 Hammers fans at Upton Park break the defense!

Zhan Jun said the classic quote about Mourinho at the last moment of the game:

"This is Mourinho's team! As long as he doesn't want to attack anymore or it's a game he doesn't want to win, he will never lose!"

This comment is very suitable for Mourinho, and the final score of this game was fixed at 2-1. Chelsea once again tortured the opponent until his mentality exploded!

So much so that after the game, Bilic ignored Mourinho's proactive handshake and walked directly into the tunnel with a sullen face.

But Mourinho didn't mind too much. He shrugged at the live camera and then joined his players in the celebration.

At the post-match press conference, Bilic fired directly, saying that Mourinho won the duel with ugly football.

“The team that played better and wanted to win more didn’t win!”

After learning that Bilic said such outrageous statements at the post-match press conference, Mourinho was also happy.

"He is indeed right. We play more ugly and utilitarian football, and we are not very good at playing so-called beautiful football. But today we took away three points from Upton Park. This is also true~"

Mourinho's self-deprecating answer actually won him and Chelsea the respect of more neutral fans.

But in the media, Chelsea has nothing to gain.

Because Mourinho decisively gave up the League Cup and sent an almost pure youth training lineup to face Stoke City, he was questioned by the British media.

Fortunately, there were no differences of opinion on this matter within Chelsea.

Chelsea have won two EFL Cup titles in the past two seasons. What else do they need to prove in this competition?

Last season Chelsea won four crowns in one go. The feeling of winning everything was indeed very satisfying and very satisfying!

But at the same time, Chelsea's main players also felt very tired after the season ended.

There is only one such physical monster like Li Ang in football.

If Chelsea's coaching staff continues to strive for the quadruple crown this season, it is inevitable that there will be different opinions within the Chelsea team.

Reducing load and pressure is what most of Chelsea's main players desire most.

What is the League Cup? If possible, they even want to suggest that Lao Mu give up the FA Cup directly!

We only play in the league and the Champions League, and we rotate when we need to. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a few more days of rest!

So now, no matter how noisy the media and public opinion outside are, things are calm inside the Chelsea team and the years are quiet.

In the EFL Cup 1/8 finals on October 27, Chelsea lost 1-3 in the away game. Not only did they suffer their first defeat of the season, they also lost the possibility of winning three consecutive EFL Cup titles.

However, the main players of Chelsea's first team enjoyed a two-day holiday comfortably, and then took a leisurely rest and training for five days before ushering in the 11th round of the Premier League match against Liverpool.

Liverpool was in turmoil at this time. Rogers didn't even make it to Christmas in the new season and was eliminated by Liverpool's management.

Speaking of which, Rogers was quite unfair.

After all, the two top players on his front line have been poached in the new season, and the team's signings are not very strong.

Under this circumstance, he led the team to a record of 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses. He did not lose many games. The team's defense was okay, but the offense always lacked some luck.

There were two or three games that should have been won but he failed to win. If two or three of those five draws turned into wins, then he would not have left Anfield so early.

Maybe it's because he didn't lead the team to the Champions League last season, so he lost a lot of points with the management.

In addition, Liverpool's senior management had already contacted Klopp, who had resigned from Dortmund, so the official announcement of Rogers' dismissal came quickly.

On the night after the 10th round of the Premier League, Liverpool officials directly announced two pieces of news: Rodgers' dismissal and the search for a new head coach, which was a small shock to the Premier League circle.

It's just that their search was a bit fast. They were still talking about selecting someone the night before, but on the afternoon of the second day, it was officially announced that Klopp was coming to Anfield!

Being able to find Klopp, who led Dortmund to create a youth storm in previous seasons, Liverpool fans are very satisfied with the actions of the top management.

It's just that the summer signing period has been missed at this stage. The first thing Klopp has to do after taking office is to maintain stability and look after the food, and stabilize the record first.

If you want to rebuild with new players according to his tactical ideas, you will need the support of at least two transfer windows.

It is unrealistic for Klopp to directly lead the team into the top four in the Premier League this season after taking over Rodgers' mess.

At least in terms of public opinion, Klopp has been given a relatively relaxed coaching environment, and he can spend most of the Premier League season making preliminary adjustments to this Liverpool team.

Just after taking office, he had to lead the team to fight against Chelsea, which was really unlucky.

On the afternoon of October 31st, Mourinho played against Klopp for the first time in the Premier League. The two talked happily during the pre-match exchange, and Klopp also greeted Li Ang very warmly.

They are also considered old rivals in the Champions League. During the two seasons when Real Madrid was very successful in the Champions League, they often met the Bundesliga duo.

However, the pleasantries before the game and reminiscing about old times did not affect Mourinho and Li Ang from being cruel to Liverpool.

Klopp's tactical ideas are still very good. He only had a short five or six days of transformation time after taking office, but he gave this Liverpool a brand new tactical style.

More running, more aggressive pressing defense, and more efficient counterattacks.

Li Ang can easily feel the new tactical style of play that Liverpool is currently pursuing on the court.

They were not able to mature all the new tactics that Klopp instilled in them in a short period of time.

But at least they are changing, with running and defensive pressure being the most obvious improvements.

However, this small change by Liverpool will only add some competition trouble to Chelsea.

In the first half of the game, Salah and Suarez scored for Chelsea.

Salah celebrated passionately, but Suarez chose not to do any celebrations at Anfield.

In the second half, Liverpool got a goal back from Coutinho, but Chelsea quickly got a penalty kick opportunity after sending in Hazard, who had returned from injury.

Hazard's breakthrough ability has not diminished at all, and he successfully created a point in just 14 minutes after coming on the field.

The one who made mistakes in Liverpool was still the familiar man.

Dejan Lovren!

After Klopp saw Lovren recklessly tripping Hazard in his own penalty area off the court, he covered his eyes and sat back in the coaching bench, seemingly indifferent.

And Li Ang won this penalty kick opportunity in one fell swoop!

In the end, Chelsea defeated Liverpool for the first time in the season 3-1 at Anfield.

This result was expected by all the media before the game.

But Li Ang gave Liverpool great praise in an interview after the game.

"Klopp has done a fantastic job and I think Liverpool fans just have to believe in him.

Liverpool will usher in a new era under his leadership! "
