Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 371 Possibility of returning to Real Madrid?

Li Ang's speech after the game was like stepping on the sensitive tails of countless Manchester United fans, making them jump with anger!

What does "Manchester United have to adapt to playing in the Europa League for a long time"?

Can this be called human language?

Manchester United's record in recent seasons has indeed been a bit turbulent, but that is also because the team is in the throes of reconstruction.

Manchester United wants money and people, but the foundation of the entire team is not bad. At most, there are many problems in the appointment of coaches.

What makes today different from the past? !

Manchester United is not Milan. As one of the top clubs in the world in terms of commercial operations, the huge sum of money Manchester United earns every year is the source of confidence for the fans.

We’ll see!

When Manchester United usher in the "new Ferguson" to correct the chaos, everyone who has laughed at Manchester United in the past few years will be severely slapped in the face!

Red Devils fans firmly believe in this and are full of expectations...

Li Ang watched the "counterattack" of Manchester United fans against him on the Internet and had to sigh with emotion. These days, Manchester United fans, both local and overseas, are quite happy.

But he was too lazy to continue to refute the Red Devils fans who still had great expectations for Manchester United.

Time will prove that everything he said is accurate, and the fact that the Glazer family continues to suck blood from Manchester United will not change at all.

In the end, only these poor Manchester United fans are still sad.

Li Ang deeply regretted this, but he had no connection with Manchester United. After a little sigh, he was still very happy to have a long-lost holiday.

After the 22nd round of the Premier League, the Premier League will be temporarily suspended and will not resume until the 23rd round of the Premier League 9 days later.

Without the ties of club events and national team events, the main players of each Premier League team have ushered in a golden rest period.

Anyway, Chelsea's coaching staff gave the entire team three days off.

Li Ang originally wanted to take Anna, who was on winter vacation, back to Madrid for a stroll, but Ibrahimović made an appointment halfway, so Li Ang went directly to Milan.

Ibrahimovic and Boateng personally drove to greet Leon and Anna at the airport. The three brothers had not met each other for a long time, and they all seemed very enthusiastic when they saw each other again.

Before Li Ang came to Milan, he took a look at Milan's recent record. Of course he knew why Ibrahimovic and Boateng were in such good moods now.

Ibrahimovic has scored goals in the past three rounds of the league, helping Milan win three precious consecutive victories and also leading Milan to the top three in Serie A!

After Boateng experienced a failed Bundesliga career and was terminated by Schalke 04, he re-signed with Milan and he has regained his career confidence.

In the first 20 rounds of Serie A in the new season, Ibrahimovic has scored 12 goals and 5 assists, while Boateng has also scored 4 goals and 4 assists.

Galliani originally wanted to ride a bicycle to lure the two famous stars back to Milan to support the new season, but unexpectedly, this fishing actually brought the goal of reviving Milan to the table!

Now, under the leadership of Ibrahimovic, Milan's ability to abuse is as stable as an old dog. The team's online strength may not be comparable to that of Juventus and Naples, but it is not inferior to Inter Milan and Roma.

If we look forward to it safely, not to mention that Milan has regained the Serie A hegemony from Juventus in recent seasons, but at least it can stably return to the Champions League.

This is the most important thing for the Milan management who now pursues the "truth" of spending small money to do big things.

After all, being able to return to the top four in Serie A, and being able to steadily win the Champions League every year, means more money!

After operating in such a virtuous cycle for two or three seasons, Milan will be able to catch its breath again and greatly shorten the recovery period.

This has to be replaced by the previous Ibrahimovic, who definitely does not agree with this way of running the club.

After all, what he wants more is the Champions League championship. When a club does not have the ambition to invest large sums of money, it will naturally not be able to attract his attention.

But after Chelsea successfully won the Champions League title that they longed for, Ibrahimovic's mentality also completely changed.

He returned to his favorite club, patiently taught his younger teammates and encouraged them to continue to grow.

On the court, he is still the Zlatan who pursues victory with all his strength, but in private, he has become a more mature and respected model leader.

Li Ang felt very happy seeing that his former teammates were now living a comfortable life and their careers were going very smoothly.

He stayed in Milan for three consecutive days to catch up with old friends. It happened that Anna also liked to stay in Milan to watch fashion shows. The couple spent a wonderful three-day vacation in Milan.

In the end, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh deeply when he thought about returning to London soon.

After all, to be honest, the living experience in London is really incomparable to cities like Milan, Barcelona and Madrid.

But complaints are complaints, and Li Ang quickly returned to the training base to report for duty immediately after the holiday.

Chelsea's main players, who had a rare rest period after a tight schedule, have greatly improved their mental state.

After restarting preparatory training, Chelsea's coaching staff was not in a hurry to get up to speed immediately.

After completing a full day of recovery training, Chelsea began their normal tactical drills.

Because the opponent in the next round of the league is Crystal Palace, the Chelsea team's preparation mentality seems relatively relaxed.

However, two days before the start of the game against Crystal Palace, Mendes rushed to England to bring a piece of news that really disturbed Li Ang's mind.

"Return to Real Madrid? Didn't we already discuss this topic in the summer? I think now is not a good time to continue discussing this matter. Jorge, Chelsea and I have renewed a new contract..."

Faced with Mendes' straightforward proposal, Li Ang subconsciously wanted to refuse the discussion.

On the one hand, it is because, as he said, he just renewed his contract with Chelsea. He is doing well at Chelsea now. There is really no need to risk quarrels with Chelsea executives and fans by returning to Real Madrid.

Wasn't Xiaofa's lesson harsh enough back then?

On the other hand, of course it's because of Ronaldo.

Li Ang originally chose to leave Real Madrid in order to lead his team to win the Champions League and compete for the Ballon d'Or.

Cristiano Ronaldo is still in pretty good shape now. He returns to Real Madrid at this juncture and has to fight Cristiano Ronaldo for split votes in the Ballon d'Or competition. Why bother?

He believes Mendes knows this and that he and Mendes had reached an agreement last summer.

So now he somewhat does not understand the meaning of Mendes bringing up old things again.

"Originally, everything was fine, but, alas... Let me tell the truth, Leon, Chris has bypassed me and directly forced Mr. Perez to marry him!

I don’t know what he thinks, but now this problem is before me. I will fly directly to Madrid tomorrow to meet with Real Madrid’s top management. I have no idea about this negotiation and I have already prepared for the worst. !

Chris has his own needs, which I understand, and I also think he deserves a higher annual salary, but he is just too willful this time!

When things come to this point, I hope you can also be mentally prepared, if...I mean if! If Chris really chooses to leave Real Madrid at the end of this season, then you must be mentally prepared to be poached by Real Madrid. Taking you back to the Bernabeu is, after all, what Mr. Perez has been thinking about most in the past two years... "

Mendes explained what happened. Finally, he left with a slight sense of relief, but what he left behind for Li Ang was shock and confusion.

Li Ang really didn't expect that the brilliant success of their Mourinho-style Real Madrid would stimulate Ronaldo in advance and make him choose to "take risks" for his salary increase rights.

In the past two seasons, Real Madrid's lack of harvesting heavyweight championship trophies has also made Lafayette no longer so tolerant towards Ronaldo.

Just imagine, if Cristiano Ronaldo really chooses to leave Real Madrid this summer, will Lafayette try to bring him back to the Bernabeu at all costs, as Mendes said?

Li Ang instinctively wanted to persuade himself that the possibility of this happening was unlikely, but in the end he had to admit that, assuming Lafayette's temperament, he could really do this!

Just some time ago, Li Ang heard from Mendes that Abramovich had invested too much in the transfer market in recent years, his personal business was not doing well, and his capital flow was a bit tight...

Putting these things together, Li Ang couldn't help but feel a little insomnia before the game started for the first time.

However, his ability to adjust is still very strong.

After forcing himself not to fantasize too much about things that haven't happened yet, Li Ang also adjusted his personal schedule and mentality before the league match against Crystal Palace officially started.

On the afternoon of January 25, Li Ang, who seemed to be in normal condition, appeared on the starting lineup for the league match between Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

This game did not attract much attention from the British media before the game. After all, the suspense was too little.

No matter how you look at it, Crystal Palace, ranked ninth in the league, cannot cause Chelsea too much trouble in the game.

But the media's publicity is only one aspect. It's another matter when it comes to the actual game.

Although Crystal Palace is currently only ranked ninth in the Premier League, it is only four points away from West Ham United's Crystal Palace, which is sixth in the Premier League!

If they really didn't have two brushes, would Crystal Palace be rated by the British media as Liverpool's biggest enemy to enter the top six this season?

After the day's game officially started, Crystal Palace had the home advantage and was very active in putting pressure on Chelsea's defense from the beginning of the game.

Zaha also performed very actively today, repeatedly taking the ball to create danger in the opening stage, and even suppressed Trippier at one point, making him afraid to take the ball forward easily.

Li Ang rarely takes the initiative to retreat in the opening stage to help his teammates consolidate their defense.

While he was lamenting the good condition of another "Zhaha King" in London today, he made a decisive move and strangled Zaha's possibility of continuing to perform explosively one-on-one!

Because Chelsea was playing away from home, their tactics today were relatively conservative and prudent.

After Li Ang locked Zaha in the early stages, Mourinho simply signaled the team to shrink their formation and enter the defensive tug-of-war phase.

It wasn't until the first 30 minutes of the first half were played that it felt like the energy of the Crystal Palace starting players had been almost worn away. Then Mourinho directed his disciples on the field to slowly press out and test the attack!

However, at this time, Crystal Palace head coach Alan Pardew was also very smart and made timely tactical adjustments and did not choose to fight Chelsea.

Crystal Palace, which switched to a very resolute and thorough defensive stance, did not allow Chelsea to take advantage. The two teams ended up in a 0-0 draw in the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea chose to rush to the start. The offensive was so fierce that Crystal Palace could hardly lift its head!

It was at this stage that Suarez once again seized the opportunity. After receiving De Bruyne's inward cut, he passed the ball successfully to counter offside and scored single-handedly!

After breaking the deadlock in the game, Chelsea shifted into the counter-attack phase that they are most familiar with and good at.

Alan Pardu was very helpless, but at his home court, it was impossible for him to face the situation of falling behind and still signal the team to consolidate the defense first.

So offense has become the only option for Crystal Palace at this moment!

South Korean winger Lee Chung-yong, who had average performance in the first 60 minutes of the game, was decisively replaced by Alan Pardew, and his replacement was Moroccan winger Shamacher.

This talented Moroccan offensive player was once a ruthless winger in Ligue 1. Unfortunately, he suffered frequent injuries in his second season after moving to Arsenal and lost all his energy.

In the 2013-14 season, the Moroccan winger was able to score six goals in a single season at Crystal Palace, which seemed like a comeback in his career, but then the disease came to him again.

After several delays and injuries, in addition to his rich game experience, Shamacher is no longer a threatening winger.

But Alan Pardew has no choice. After all, he only has so many people at his disposal, and the only pure winger sitting on the bench is Shamacher.

After making such substitution adjustments, it is conceivable that Crystal Palace's offensive will unfold.

Zaha was alone on the left wing, but Li Ang took the initiative to sacrifice his offensiveness to completely target him on the defensive end. Crystal Palace could no longer overcome the slightest threat!

In the 78th minute of the second half, Chelsea seized the opportunity of Crystal Palace's full attack and launched another wonderful quick counterattack!

This time, Suarez took the ball forward after receiving a long pass from Li Ang.

In a good 3-on-3 situation in the frontcourt, Suarez attracted the attention of two Crystal Palace defenders before passing the ball to De Bruyne, who was also running in at high speed on the right.

Then De Bruyne's powerful cross also found Hazard, who was almost unmarked at the back of the Crystal Palace penalty area, and assisted him to easily push and score!

As soon as this goal was scored, Chelsea established the victory, and the final score of the game was firmly fixed at 2-0.

When celebrating with his teammates after the game, Li Ang's eyes flashed with contemplation from time to time.

And across the sea, in the city of Madrid, a huge storm that could shock the world's sports world is also quietly brewing...
