Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

The focus battle between Chelsea and Bayern will officially begin on April 5, when Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will appear on the Champions League quarter-finals stage on the same day.

The showdown between Manchester City and Real Madrid is also very exciting for fans. Only Juventus has the best luck in getting the soft persimmon Benfica, which basically means they have half a foot in advance to enter the Champions League semi-finals.

There is basically no guarantee that one of the remaining six powerful European teams will win. It seems reasonable that whoever makes it to the semi-finals and who gets eliminated is very reasonable.

Including Chelsea, it would be normal for them to be eliminated by Bayern in the end. At most, it would make many neutral fans feel regretful.

But if you want to say that Nandawang's victory over Chelsea is an upset, that's not it. At most, Chelsea has a greater chance of winning now.

Generally speaking, this year's quarter-finals of the Champions League are very interesting. There are enough dialogues between the top teams. The teams that can eventually reach the top four of the Champions League are also capable of winning the championship and are full of gold.

Neutral fans can fully enjoy it.

It’s just that the teams that have reached the quarterfinals of this year’s Champions League have to not only continue to fight hard in the Champions League, but also bear huge sprint pressure in the league.

None of the top eight teams in this year's Champions League has achieved a dominant lead in its league.

Chelsea and Manchester City are still on the same points, and it seems that they are already in a direct dialogue to determine the outcome in the final rounds of the league.

Bayern is ahead of Dortmund in the Bundesliga, but the current lead is only two points, so there is no reason to be careless.

Juventus is now only one game ahead of Naples, the second-placed team in Serie A, and will need to fight Napoli at home in a crucial battle.

Not to mention Benfica, their current points are even worse than Sporting Lisbon.

The internal friction among the three teams in La Liga is even more serious. Barcelona, ​​currently ranked first, currently has 72 points, Atletico, second, has 70 points, and Real Madrid, third, has 69 points. The brutality of this fight is extremely rare.

It can be said that this year's Champions League quarter-finals are gritting their teeth and fighting for the title on both fronts. They want both sides, and no one dares to let go.

At this stage of the season, the whole situation is likely to collapse after a sigh of relief, and who can bear the consequences of the collapse of the season?

It's a pity that the number of championships is fixed. Some teams can succeed as they wish in the end, but naturally there will be teams that fall short at the last moment and regretfully retire.

In this regard, all the powerful teams that still have a chance to win the double championship are not special.

Even though Chelsea is the strongest on paper, it is no different from other competitors now. It must bite the bullet and advance on both fronts.

If we have to talk about advantages, then the current Chelsea team is actually the same as the Royal Saren Team 3. Most of the main players in the team have already experienced highly successful seasons and have more "successful" experience.

Players like them who have the experience of winning the Triple Crown in a single season know how to adjust their mentality at the end of the season, and they also know how to maintain the game state as much as possible during the sprint stage of the championship.

This is their most valuable wealth of experience, and it is also the characteristic that gives them an advantage over players from other powerful teams.

In comparison, the players from the four teams of Huang Sarenche are now facing huge schedule pressure, and they are indeed more calm than other competitors.

This is very intuitive based on the recent league records of their teams.

The pressure is high, but these teams returned to the league and continued their winning streak without hesitation. The stability of the game at critical moments is still the first in Europe.

After Chelsea defeated Liverpool and gained a valuable week's rest, they were in excellent condition and defeated the Hammers 4-1, giving Manchester City no chance to breathe.

However, after the 31st round of the Premier League, international match days followed one after another, which not only caused trouble for the powerful teams in the major leagues, but also gave many teams time to make final adjustments for the season.

While Mourinho is worried about the arrival of the international break, his old rival Guardiola is also praying that injuries will not come to his players.

But as the old saying goes, the more a person is afraid of something, the more likely he is to encounter something.

Neither Mourinho nor Guardiola want their players to suffer injuries when participating in this round of international friendly matches.

As a result, key players from both Chelsea and Manchester City were injured while playing friendly matches for their country!

When receiving player injury reports, the two coaches, Mourinho and Guardiola, both chose to curse the national football associations.

Guardiola scolded the Spanish Football Federation for being unreliable and injuring his midfielder Cesc Fabregas even in a friendly match.

Mourinho is denounced by the FA as always.

Guardiola injured a midfielder, but Chelsea injured two important players in the defense in a row!

Maguire sprained his ankle while competing with his opponent. It is initially estimated that he will have to rest for two weeks. He will definitely miss the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern.

Bertrand's thigh muscle strain is also quite fatal. Although he is no longer Chelsea's main left back, he is also an important rotation player in Chelsea's defense.

Now that he is injured, Chelsea can only rely on Azpilicueta on the left to support him.

If the Spanish full-back is injured again, the impact on Chelsea's preparations for the end of the season will be completely fatal!

He injured two important players in the defense after playing two friendly matches. How could Mourinho not scold him?

But the matter has come to this, apart from a few more verbal condemnations to vent their dissatisfaction, more complaints cannot make Maguire and Bertrand come back.

In desperation, Mourinho had no choice but to conduct tactical experiments and asked Trippier to find out more about playing on the left wing on the training ground.

After all, in the absence of players, Lao Mu can only try to tap the potential within the team.

Not to mention Trippier, Mourinho even had an idea for Li Ang. Who gave Li Ang such a surprise when he played as a central defender?

But this time, facing Uncle Psy's expectant eyes, Li Ang could only wave his hands to express that he really couldn't do it.

Although his left and right feet are balanced and his speed in dribbling is not bad, his current passing ability can only be said to be average. If he plays as a full-back but cannot deliver accurate crosses, that would be too damned!

There is really no one on the team to support the left back, so it would be okay for Li Ang to support him. But now that Trippier still has the potential to improve, Li Ang feels that it is better not to put hope on himself first.

Mourinho also felt a little anxious afterwards. Li Ang was capable, but it was impossible to just change positions.

Previously, Li Ang's ability to play well as a central defender was a big surprise to him. Now he still expects Li Ang to play well as a full-back. It is indeed because he thinks too much.

Fortunately, Trippier's recent training as a left-back has been pretty good. He is good at playing as a left-back with his right foot, cutting inside and moving through the midfield to organize passes. He might really be able to give his opponents a "surprise" at critical moments.

After several training matches, Mourinho and other members of Chelsea's coaching staff have gained confidence and are no longer as nervous as before.

After the hole at left back can barely be plugged, Chelsea won't have to worry too much about their subsequent results.

Chelsea's reserves at the central defender position are still very abundant. With Maguire temporarily injured, Terry, Gary Cahill and even Zouma can all step in.

If we only look at the type of central defender and the effect of the partnership, these three substitute central defenders are quite suitable to partner with Thiago Silva, so there is no problem.

In the 32nd round of the Premier League on April 2, the central defender combination of Terry and Thiago Silva supported Chelsea's defense without any trouble.

Although Terry has been on the bench for almost the entire season this season, he has always been in good shape, has rich defensive experience, and is very reliable at critical moments.

Also relying on the outstanding performance of the two central defenders, Chelsea sealed Aston Villa 2-0 in the 32nd round of the Premier League, raising the number of wins this season to 27!

Currently, with one game in hand, Chelsea continues to be at the top of the Premier League with a record of 27 wins and 4 draws, relying on goal difference.

Manchester City follows closely behind, currently ranking second in the Premier League with the same points as Chelsea with a record of 27 wins, 1 loss and 4 draws.

Manchester City's resilience this season is nothing to say. They have been playing until now and are still biting Chelsea's butt and refusing to let go.

And in the 34th round of the Premier League, they still have a great opportunity to talk directly with Chelsea to regain the top spot.

They had lost to Chelsea in a direct conversation before, thus losing their top spot in the league.

If they can successfully defeat Chelsea in revenge, then the suspense of this season's Premier League championship may really have to wait until the last round of the league to end!

And both teams still have the possibility of exceeding 100 league points.

Since the establishment of the Premier League, there have been situations where the champion and runner-up have fought each other until the final round of the league to decide the winner, but it is really unheard of for the champion and runner-up to get over 100 league points at the same time!

In terms of strength and fierce competition, Chelsea and Manchester City this season are already the best in Premier League history.

This is of course a great thing for Premier League fans, but it is a bit too cruel for the players of Chelsea and Manchester City.

If the peak periods of their two teams are staggered, they can easily establish a league dynasty.

But fate has made the two teams compete fiercely in this turbulent era of major reshuffles in the Premier League.

But there is only one throne. One of their two teams can become the king, and the other team can only swallow the bitter pill and watch their team continue to create points records belonging to the Premier League runner-up.

This is actually an honor, but it is too bitter. Being engraved in the history of the Premier League as the most successful loser is just a background in the final analysis...

The second direct dialogue between the two teams this season was very eye-catching, but before they could decide the outcome of the season, the arrival of the Champions League quarter-finals first ignited the fans' enthusiasm for watching the game.

On the afternoon of April 5th, the Chelsea team set off early for Munich, and Li Ang once again came to the Allianz Arena in Munich, which he was already extremely familiar with.

In this world-renowned top football stadium, Li Ang has had too many game memories.

He once represented Real Madrid in a hearty battle with Bayern here, and also represented Chelsea in this stadium and sweated hard.

Fortunately, he tasted the joy of victory in this stadium far more often than he tasted the bitterness of failure.

Of course, he still remembers the pain of losing to Munich that season before moving to Chelsea.

There is no saying that Chelsea is not strong enough to face Bayern Munich. Li Ang is eager to fight against the top teams in Europe like Bayern, and he has never won enough.

This time they met Bayern again at the Allianz Arena. Li Ang and his teammates never thought about drawing with Bayern first and then returning to Stamford Bridge in the second round for a decisive battle with Bayern.

They came here just to win!

No matter how tough and difficult Bayern is at home, they will have to forcefully break this super tough nut!

After finishing his walk on the pitch at the Allianz Arena in Munich that evening, the photo of Li Ang confidently smiling at the camera and making a victory sign immediately spread all over the Internet with the release of Chelsea's official tweet.

Looking at the photo of Li Ang directly making two victory gestures, no fan thought that Li Ang was just posing for the camera.

Obviously, Li Ang has expressed his full confidence in winning the game through this photo.

To dare to express such confidence at Bayern's home court, I have to say that Li Ang is really brave!

His expression soon aroused dissatisfaction from many Bayern fans and German sports media.

But for Li Ang, the new golden ball player, the German media only expressed some dissatisfaction, suggesting that Li Ang needs to have more "respect" for Bayern.

Apart from this, they did not make any other excessive counterattacks.

No way, Li Ang's winning rate against Bayern before was really a bit high, and even when he lost to Bayern at Chelsea last season, Li Ang's personal performance in the two rounds was impeccable.

The German media still feel a little guilty about such a "Bayern nemesis".

They also don't want to be like the sports media in Catalonia, who have to be ridiculed by fans from all over the world after the game every time they quarrel with Li Ang before the game.

Bayern fans are also very practical and spend their energy cheering for the home team first.

If Bayern can win this round, they are naturally qualified to talk to Li Ang.

Otherwise, an early counterattack would be too embarrassing when the home team loses.

Li Ang didn't know that the German media and local Bayern fans felt guilty about him.

He has won against Bayern many times, has a mental advantage and is well rested on the eve of the game.

After completing the last practice the next morning, when asked for an interview by a German media reporter outside the training venue, he was even in the mood to stop and answer a few questions.

On the evening of April 6, Li Ang, wearing the captain's armband, led his teammates on the journey to the war under the dazzling lights of the Allianz Arena and the gaze of thousands of people.

Looking around, all he saw were old opponents he was familiar with.

Lewandowski, Ribery, Robben, Muller, Thiago, Javi Martinez…

During the handshake session, Li Ang wore a bright smile and greeted old acquaintances one by one with his eyes.

His confident stance made Bayern fans with countless televisions uncomfortable.

But for Chelsea fans, Li Ang's confident smile is what they most want to see before the game!

At 8:45 pm Munich time, the referee on duty blew the whistle to start the game on time.

At this moment, Li Ang also pressed forward to meet the Bayern players who pushed the kick across the center line.

The temperature and lighting are just right tonight, so it's a good time for him to win!
