Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 367 It’s the little lion who saves Real Madrid in adversity!

Manchester City fans were so pissed off by Li Ang. This guy disgusted Manchester City on the field for the whole game, and even made a weird speech after the game.

It would be ridiculous to say that Li Ang didn't mean it. This was clearly a response to the Manchester City fans who booed him the whole game.

But what if everyone knows it?

Li Ang and Chelsea won this crucial game at Manchester City's home court. This is the most important thing!

If he had lost, then whatever he said at the moment would sound like quibbling, but he won, so he was qualified to speak back and could not find fault at all.

Manchester City fans are very uncomfortable, and Manchester City players are also very uncomfortable, but they can only endure this tone for now.

Want to get your place back?

We can only wait until we fight Chelsea again in the second half of the league...

As soon as this focus battle ended, Chelsea, which forcibly defeated Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, suddenly became the invincible Premier League hegemon promoted by the British media.

Manchester City, which suffered its first defeat in the new season, gave up its top spot in the Premier League.

However, the Manchester City team did not have much time to feel annoyed about this, because after this round of league play, the war in the Champions League group stage quickly rekindled.

Manchester City currently has a record of 3 wins and 1 loss in Group D of the Champions League, and has a good momentum of qualifying from the group.

However, they lost to Juventus in the second round of the group stage. Currently, Juventus has two wins and two draws and is only one point behind Manchester City, temporarily ranking second in the group.

Therefore, this round of group matches is crucial for the entire Manchester City team.

They have to at least score one point in a head-to-head fight with Juventus before they can be weak in the final round to ensure the right to qualify for the top spot in the group.

In comparison, Chelsea's European war task is much easier.

The Blues will go away to play against Wolfsburg in this round of group matches. Since Real Madrid and Wolfsburg tied in the last round of group matches, Real Madrid is now ranked second in the group with only 5 points. Chelsea has also secured the top spot in the group in advance. The right to qualify.

Therefore, Mourinho also rotated most of the main players in this round of the Champions League group stage, leading a Chelsea team that was almost purely substitutes to the away game.

The huge points gap in the Champions League death group today was something that countless neutral fans did not expect before the start of the new Champions League season.

Real Madrid only accumulated 5 points after the four rounds of the group stage. However, such performance and points ranked second in the group. At first glance, this group is indeed "dead".

But looking at Chelsea, who are at the top of the list with 12 points after winning four games, the fans who may have lamented that this group is difficult to beat in one second will have to complain that Real Madrid and other competitors are "rookies pecking each other" the next second. .

But overall, Real Madrid's performance in these four group matches was not bad.

The loss to Chelsea was a regrettable defeat, the draw with CSKA Moscow was due to the weather, and the draw with Wolfsburg in the last round of the group stage was a pure loss to luck.

After all, Real Madrid led Wolfsburg 2-0 for eighty minutes. As a result, in the last ten minutes of the game, Wolfsburg got unlucky and scored two deflection goals in succession!

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo grabbed the center post, but with normal luck, Real Madrid wouldn't have had to suffer such a bizarre draw.

If I had to explain it, it was understandable that Real Madrid was tied, but more neutral fans who only looked at the result didn't buy it.

The rhetoric of "Chelsea beat Wolfsburg and CSKA to the ground, and now you are trying to find excuses for losing points" made the Mellingers speechless.

And regardless of whether it was due to luck or other reasons that they didn't get enough points before, Real Madrid has indeed reached an uncomfortable point now.

They have 5 points and Wolfsburg has 4 points. In this round of the group stage, Chelsea has no desire to challenge Wolfsburg away. They have to compete with CSKA Moscow who still have hope of qualifying...

Which side is easy to fight and which side is not easy to fight can be seen at a glance!

And Real Madrid fans really have no qualifications to let Chelsea and Wolfsburg have another bloody battle.

Chelsea has already qualified for the top spot in the group, and has just finished fighting against strong opponents in the league. This round of group matches will definitely require a break.

You can't just pointlessly fight against Wolfsburg for Real Madrid's right to qualify, right?

Many pessimistic Real Madrid fans have even concluded that Wolfsburg will defeat Chelsea who came off the bench in this round of the group stage and get three more points.

Now they can only pray that their players will not let the chain slip again, they must firmly win CSKA Moscow, and continue to control the right to qualify for the group.

As for whether they can beat the undefeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the last round, let fate decide!

On the evening of November 24th, Chelsea, who almost played as a substitute against Wolfsburg, made their debut at the Volkswagen Arena.

In order to allow the main players to rest more fully, Mourinho only selected two main players to join the team when determining the 18-man roster before the game. The other main players stayed in London to rest.

The two unlucky ones selected are naturally Li Ang and Matic, who is currently in good physical condition.

However, neither of them started the game today. When the game officially started, they were sitting on the bench chatting.

Old God Mourinho was sitting on the coaching bench, watching the substitute players who started the game today.

He doesn't have too many results requirements for today's game. It's an away game anyway. As long as the substitute players work hard and bring out their own technical characteristics, it will be completely OK.

He has no hope of winning. A draw would be the best. If not, that's fine as long as the loss is not too ugly.

However, although Chelsea's coaching staff is very relaxed, they don't have many requirements for regular substitutes and young players promoted from the second team.

But these young players and substitute players still have a lot of competition pressure. After all, they are playing in the Champions League today!

This is not England's domestic League Cup. In the Champions League, their performance will be seen and commented on by more people.

When they think of this, they find it difficult to relax even if they want to.

Therefore, after Wolfsburg put pressure on Chelsea across the board, the players who started the game on behalf of Chelsea today performed very reluctantly.

When this player's mentality is tense, it is easy to make mistakes in confrontations, let alone use his technical advantages at this time.

Unable to withstand the pressure, frequent fouls, even the quick counterattack that he is best at is difficult to produce...

Mourinho looked at the performance of the players on the field and frowned repeatedly on the bench.

He is much more patient in training young players now than he was back then, but to be honest, no matter how patient a head coach is, it will be difficult to hold back when he sees the current game situation!

Just after the 17th minute of the first half, Chelsea lost the first goal of the game.

Chik made a reckless tackle and interception in the midfield, but no one could stop him, but he completely lost his defensive position!

Van Ginkel immediately made up for Draxler, who passed Loftus-Cheek, but the German talented winger's through ball was sent out earlier!

Cruze was very experienced in countering offside, got rid of Zuma's guard, and easily got a single opportunity.

Begovic failed to save the team this time and was defeated by Kruse's low shot.

This way of losing the ball not only made Mourinho shake his head repeatedly, but also Liang and Matic who were sitting on the bench were somewhat speechless.

"Ruben's head is still not clear. How can he lose the ball in that position?!"

"It's not that he's ignorant, he just has a problem with his thinking. If you ask him to defend honestly, he won't be able to defend. He still wants to steal the ball and advance to the frontcourt to participate in the attack."

"This kid is really wasting his physical talent. He is such a good midfielder, why does he always like to penetrate forward..."

After Li Ang and Matic complained for a few words, they couldn't help but think of Khedira, the handsome brother back then.

They also have tall and strong bodies, and they also seem to have outstanding waist talent, but they are also always worried about their forward penetration that is not outstanding...

If Chick is willing to calm down and hone his defensive skills, then even if he cannot gain a foothold at Chelsea in the future, he will still have the opportunity to start in other low-level and powerful teams.

But if he can't change his bad habit of always losing his position, then his future ceiling will definitely be dragged down by himself.

Although Lao Mu failed to successfully transform the face brother, he finally discovered Li Ang and created a tough midfield trio.

It can be regarded as avoiding Brother Face's technical shortcomings as much as possible on the court and giving full play to his technical strengths.

But now Chik hasn't even understood how to play in the Premier League, and he has no chance to enjoy the tactical development services of Chelsea's coaching staff.

He can only take the initiative to adapt to the tactical requirements of the coaching staff and do his own supporting work like Li Ang did before, so that he can have the opportunity to further obtain more tactical authority.

However, looking at Chick's recent performance on the field, Chelsea fans do not expect him to become the "Chelsea version of the Little Lion" anyway.

Due to the proper golf IQ gap, Chelsea's coaching staff gave him a chance, but he didn't work!

Wolfsburg fans at the Volkswagen Arena celebrated happily.

Amid the cheers, Mourinho gestured to the players on the field not to worry and to play calmly.

He is not ready to replace Chick right now. He will give him the chance he deserves. He still hopes that Chick will become more enlightened.

Terry, who started as captain on the field today, also comforted his young teammates.

However, when the game restarted, Terry and Mourinho discovered that the young Chelsea players were still unable to cope well with Wolfsburg's continuous pressure.

A Chick who always loses his defensive position, plus the young left back Baba who was almost blown away by Draxler in the matchup today.

It's not just defensively that Chelsea is suffering from the inability of these two to perform properly.

After all, the number of ball possessions recovered was too small. Gnabry and Salah, who were waiting to counterattack in front, were of no use no matter how strong their personal abilities were!

It is rare for Chelsea to be completely suppressed by their opponents on the field, and it is difficult to even fight back.

Many Real Madrid fans who specially watched this game today chose to tune back in advance to watch the game between Real Madrid and CSKA.

In the 34th minute of the first half, after Draxler broke through Baba and scored with a powerful shot to help Wolfsburg successfully expand their lead, more Real Madrid fans naturally gave up on Chelsea's game.

However, Real Madrid and CSKA Moscow temporarily ended up in a 1-1 draw. The Meilingers were extremely anxious!

It was not until the second half of the game started that news came from Chelsea that Li Ang had come on to replace Chick, and Real Madrid fans had a lot of hope again!

Li Ang's appearance is actually a small probability event. Originally, Mourinho did not want Li Ang and Matic to have a chance to play in this game.

But Wolfsburg is too unruly!

A two-goal lead at halftime was enough. If Wolfsburg had shortened its formation earlier to control the field or defend against counterattacks, Mourinho would have accepted today's defeat.

But after taking a two-goal lead, Wolfsburg was still attacking furiously, assuming a posture of insisting on a tragedy like Chelsea's, which Mourinho couldn't accept!

I'm going to give you some face first, but if you don't want it, then I'm sorry, but don't be angry if I overturn the table!

So as soon as the halftime break ended, Mourinho put Li Ang on the field first, and Matic slowly warmed up on the sidelines at the beginning of the second half.

Such changes made it difficult for the Wolfsburg fans at home to cheer enthusiastically.

Li Ang moved closer to the left wing as soon as he came on the field, directly helping Baba, who was cut into a sieve by Draxler in the first half, to fill the defensive holes.

After Draxler saw Li Ang's position, he immediately chose to switch positions with his teammates and ran to their left, which was considered decisive.

After consolidating his own defense, Li Ang took over the ball-organizing rights from his young midfielder teammate Piazon.

He did not move forward easily, so he cleared the ball in the midfield and backcourt, allowing Van Ginkel to comfortably participate in the organization and scheduling.

After Wolfsburg refused to give up and pressed the whole team again, he got the ball away and launched a long pass to counterattack!

In the 59th minute of the second half, Li Ang's fast and long pass accurately found Llorente who was standing still.

After the Spanish high center forward steadily captured the football, he smoothly moved the ball to the right.

Salah had been holding back for half a game and didn't play well. After successfully getting the ball, he faced Wolfsburg left back Rodriguez. Salah didn't talk about any technical skills and just walked to the sideline to overtake!

Rodriguez is now considered one of the top three left backs in the Bundesliga. He is very capable and did not directly lose his defensive position after desperately chasing back.

When Salah saw this, he was not reckless. He smashed the ball decisively and then knocked the ball back to the center.

At this time, Li Ang directly withstood the defensive interference of Wolfsburg midfielder Tresch and started an unreasonable and strong push!

Seeing that Li Ang was about to enter his shooting range, Wolfsburg's defenders couldn't help but move closer to his side.

But just as they moved together in a large scale, Li Ang once again sent a large-scale transfer ball to the left!

Gnabry, who had been patiently waiting for the opportunity, made no mistakes. After an almost perfect unloading, he went directly to the ground and then sent a spinning pass to the Wolfsburg penalty area very comfortably!

Li Ang followed closely and headed towards the front of Wolfsburg's penalty area. Dante quickly defended, but the football ended up flying over their heads.

At this moment, at the back of Wolfsburg's penalty area, Llorente had already outlasted the rest of the group and jumped high into the air, swinging his head to attack the goal with a full stretch of his body!

Castles, the goalkeeper who started Wolfsburg's game today, used all his strength to pounce backwards at this moment!

But Llorente's head-swing attack was very powerful, and he was too close to the goal!

The football hit the net behind Wolfsburg's goal in an instant!

Li Ang didn't even finish the fifteen minutes of the game after he came on the field, but he had already made great achievements on both ends of the offense and defense, and successfully launched a counterattack to get a goal!

Seeing the football entering the net, Li Ang did not choose to celebrate. Instead, he rushed into Wolfsburg's goal, picked up the football and ran towards the kick-off point!

He is not satisfied with saving the team's face at all, he also wants to continue scoring goals, score points or even win at Wolfsburg's home court!

The morale of the Chelsea team was immediately boosted!

Llorente also roared in celebration and followed Li Ang's footsteps back to the half-court!

The Wolfsburg fans at home were in a state of confusion at this moment, but many Meiling fans in front of the TV were in tears looking at Li Ang's firm back!

It has been almost two years, but Li Ang can still "save" Real Madrid in adversity!
