Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

After Manchester City lost the 34th round of the Premier League against Chelsea, the string they had been tight on was broken.

Although Guardiola still wants to seize the last chance to overturn Chelsea, his disciples have clearly reached the end of their strength after a less successful fourth-line battle this season.

In the 35th round of the league, Chelsea defeated Tottenham strongly, but the entire Manchester City team was lost in Stoke City's set-piece tactics.

Crouch, who came on as a substitute, sealed his throat with a sword and beat Mangala to score the winning header, helping Stoke City successfully reverse Manchester City 2-1 in the away game!

When the Stoke City team celebrated wildly, Guardiola, who was sitting on the coaching bench at the time, was weak and exhausted.

A full six points behind Chelsea with one more game in hand, and there are only the last three league games left for Manchester City to play.

This has basically pronounced Manchester City's death sentence.

After all, looking at Chelsea's horrific game state at the end of the season, who would predict that Chelsea would lose two consecutive games to Manchester City in the next league?

After an upset loss to Stoke City in the 35th round, Manchester City was left with only its last head on the cliff.

In the 36th round of the Premier League, if Chelsea continues to win but Manchester City still cannot win the game, then Chelsea will win this season's Premier League championship two rounds in advance!

Of course, if Manchester City continues to lose, Chelsea will only need to win a draw to win the championship in advance. This is the most perfect situation for Chelsea.

But just like they did not place their hopes of winning the championship on other teams in the previous two seasons, Chelsea still trusts its own hard power more now.

After defeating Atletico Madrid and returning their energy to the Premier League, none of Chelsea's main players discussed the possibility of Manchester City being attacked by other Premier League teams.

During the relatively intense three days of preparation, they also focused all their attention on the upcoming league opponent Leicester City.

Leicester City currently has a good record of 21 wins, 10 draws and 4 losses in the Premier League.

To be honest, despite not investing much in the summer window, Leicester City only lost 4 games in the entire season until the final stage of the league. Leicester City's record is already incredible.

The 73 points also set a record for Leicester City's league points in a single season.

With three rounds left in the league, they are even expected to exceed the 80 league points mark this season.

This result is enough to satisfy all Blue Fox fans.

Looking at Chelsea and Manchester City, who are ranked top two in the league, Leicester City fans still dare not have the illusion of winning the championship.

However, if the current ranking can be maintained until the end of the season, Leicester City will also appear on the Champions League stage for the first time next season.

That's the Champions League!

The dream that so many teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League can only dream of has now been realized by Leicester City.

And when they think about being able to compete in the Champions League with the team next season and show the club's style, these Blue Fox fans are also excited.

Although the season is not really over yet, everyone at Leicester City is already quite satisfied with the results they have achieved this season.

In the last part of their league schedule, except for facing Chelsea, the remaining two opponents are very weak.

There is no need to worry about scoring points later on. Currently, they are five points ahead of Arsenal, which is fourth in the league. Leicester City's main players naturally don't have much fighting spirit against Chelsea.

This has nothing to do with professional ethics and professionalism.

Facing an opponent who is much stronger than oneself, it is not a matter of life and death. The league ranking has already been determined, so why do you still need to expend a lot of physical energy to fight to the death?

Some of the words are hard to hear, but the truth is this. People like to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and no one is willing to do hard work without any benefits.

However, many British media are still looking forward to the outstanding performance of Fox City to give fans a big life at the end of the season.

Otherwise, if Chelsea can successfully win the championship ahead of schedule, wouldn't the final moment of the league be too boring?

On the afternoon of April 30, under the attention of a large number of reporters and neutral fans, the entire Leicester City team arrived in London and warmed up in advance at Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Chelsea arrived at Stamford Bridge a little later, and under the live broadcast of reporters on site, Chelsea players also showed relatively relaxed smiles on their faces.

In order to better prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals three days later, Mourinho still used large-scale rotation in today's league.

The front trident was changed directly, Kroos took a rest again, Li Ang and Matic guarded the midfield, and Van Ginkel formed a midfield trio.

In the defense, Gary Cahill and Karas once again got the opportunity to start. Bertrand had just returned from injury and was directly strengthened by Mourinho.

Even the starting goalkeeper Oblak got a rest in this league round, and Begovic started in his place.

After a closer look, only Leon, Matic and Maguire are the main players in Chelsea's starting lineup today.

Such a lineup arrangement is indeed a bit bold. No matter how you say it, Leicester City is currently third in the Premier League. If Chelsea really fails to seize the opportunity and overturns and loses, then you can imagine how much pressure Mourinho will bear from public opinion. .

But a madman is a madman, and he must have known the disadvantages of such an arrangement, but he still made a very bold decision.

After returning to the locker room after the warm-up, the Blue Fox players were somewhat surprised to receive information about Chelsea's starting eleven.

In order to preserve his strength and earn points more stably in the last two rounds of the league, Ranieri actually arranged a rotation today.

But Leicester City's rotation only rested half of the main players. Compared with Chelsea's "boldness", their rotation today seems a bit childish.

With some mixed emotions, Leicester City's starting players finally followed the referee's footsteps and stepped onto the Stamford Bridge stadium.

They may have been considering changing their established tactics and taking advantage of the fact that most of Chelsea's main players are resting to try to break Chelsea's unbeaten home record this season.

But in the absence of Ranieri speaking, these Leicester City starting players could only assume a defensive posture honestly.

Li Ang, who won the right to kick off, received a return pass from his teammate at the beginning of the game. He also observed Leicester City's defensive position while actively thinking about the direction of attack.

Although he appeared in the starting position of the attacking midfielder today, he still retreated many times to sort out the ball, and also organized the team's opening attack in an orderly manner.

After seeing that Kanter was still starting the game, Li Ang decisively gave up on promoting the organization and distribution of the ball from the center, and instead strengthened the passing contact with the two wings.

After having the experience of playing against Kante in the first half of the league, Chelsea's midfielders and frontcourt players now play smarter when facing the famous Kante.

There is no shame in not being able to get past Kanter, because there are too many Premier League stars who have been intercepted by Kanter this season.

Mourinho also emphasized many times before the game that on the offensive end, he should try to avoid the problem of Leicester City's heavily defended center.

Chelsea's offensive system is not limited to Li Ang's forward penetration in the middle. Chelsea's advantage is also playing wide attacks.

And when Li Ang concentrated on sorting out the offense in the middle and took the ball many times and moved it to the sides, no matter how good Kanter was at running, it would be impossible for one person to take care of the defense of both sides at the same time.

Chelsea's wing attack slowly unfolded under this smart choice of attacking the weak and avoiding the strong.

It just so happens that Salah's main attack side is Leicester City's weaker defensive left wing.

Mahrez's defensive intensity and defensive investment are still slightly weaker than other Leicester City offensive players.

Facing the 30-year-old Fuchs one-on-one with the ball on the wing, Salah has strong confidence in breaking through.

No matter how rich Fuchs’ defensive experience is and how mature his defensive choices are, his relative weakness in speed has already doomed him to face Salah alone.

It was only the 20th minute of the first half, and Fuchs had to frequently call on his teammates to help defend.

His defense along the way was not directly destroyed by Salah, but it is an indisputable fact that Leicester City's left wing has become the weak defensive side at this moment.

Kanter began to shift his defensive attention more to the left wing, and Leicester City's defensive imbalance was even more obvious to Li Ang.

In the 24th minute of the first half, Kalas made a one-on-one tackle on the right to block Mahrez's advancement with the ball.

The Czech defender who regained the ball immediately got up and swept the ball towards the center.

Matic, who moved forward to get the ball, did not stick to the ball too much. He quickly passed the ball diagonally and handed the ball to the running Li Ang.

At this time, Li Ang's position was more inclined to his right, and Salah also took advantage of the situation and ran forward along the sideline. At the same time, he raised his hand to indicate that Li Ang could boldly send the ball behind him.

Kanter gave up his plan to defend with Drinkwater. He reversed forward and pounced on Li Ang who was holding the ball, hoping to interfere with the passing line that Li Ang was about to form with Salah.

But Li Ang's next passing choice was beyond the expectations of all Leicester City defensive players!

He made a slight adjustment and sent a long, fast pass to his left front before Kanter intercepted it!

Gnabry, who had been a little quiet before and seemed less active, jumped forward like a cheetah at this moment!

It only took him a short second or two to get rid of Leicester City's right back Danny Simpson's mark!

Gnabry, who is not yet 21 years old, makes the 29-year-old Simpson deeply feel the ruthless passage of time at this moment.

It's still a crushing battle in terms of speed, without any skills at all, just rushing and hitting!

Gnabry, who successfully got behind Leicester City's defense, did not hesitate too much after successfully offloading the ball. He directly watched and hoisted the ball into the middle of Leicester City's penalty area!

Llorente overwhelmed Leicester City defender Morgan and completed the goal with a head-turning attack with a fierce forward momentum!

But this time, Schmeichel also made a divinely predicted leap, blocking Llorente's powerful headbutt to the limit with one hand!

At the critical moment, Li Ang, who had penetrated forward, relied on his long legs to grab the ball that bounced ahead of Drinkwater.

But when several Leicester City defenders came to double-team him, he knocked the football horizontally to the right side of the Leicester City penalty area in time!

Salah, who had been waiting for a long time, did not waste the opportunity that Li Ang grabbed. He adjusted his steps to meet the ball and directly shot into the far corner of the goal!

This kick was shot from a very tricky angle. The ball speed was not too fast, but the arc was very large!

Schmeichel gritted his teeth and jumped off the ground again, but this time the goddess of luck no longer favored him.

The football finally bypassed his fingertips and plunged into the net in the upper left corner of the goal behind him!

The scene at Stamford Bridge suddenly burst into cheers, and strong cheers swept through the entire stadium and echoed around!

Salah, who scored the goal, pointed at Li Ang and smiled.

Li Ang once again rubbed Salah's fluffy hair and ran side by side with him to the corner flag area to celebrate passionately!

This goal completely made the tens of thousands of Chelsea fans at the scene agitated.

They roared passionately and hugged in the stands, and then put their arms around each other and sang a self-composed song "We want to win three consecutive championships!"

Mourinho was also very excited, but he still made a gesture to the Chelsea players on the field to keep calm.

After finally waiting for the celebration to come to an end, Chelsea's starting players who returned to their own half were almost all alerted and encouraged by Li Ang.

Under the dual reminders from their coach and captain, these Chelsea players quickly suppressed their turbulent emotions and began to retreat calmly.

Ranieri was a little hesitant at first whether to take advantage of Chelsea's main rotation to conduct a sneak attack.

But now that Chelsea scored the first goal, there were no more unnecessary thoughts in his mind.

The tinker's hesitation in making on-the-spot adjustments is also an old problem. At this moment, the Blue Fox players on the court urgently needed adjustment signals from their own coaching staff, but Ranieri did nothing.

The Leicester City players, whose morale was greatly affected, saw this and lost interest in shopping with Chelsea.

As a result, the half-time offensive and defensive battle that Chelsea players expected did not take place in the end. Leicester City seemed to have completely accepted the situation of falling behind first.

This situation continued into the second half of the game. Leicester City's will to counterattack was not strong. Upon seeing this, Mourinho signaled to his disciples to postpone the attack.

It wasn't until the 67th minute of the second half when Vardy came on as a substitute that Leicester City set off another offensive climax.

However, Chelsea seized the opportunity of Leicester City's aggressive attack and severely beat Leicester City's counterattacks several times.

Finally, in the 76th minute of the second half, Suarez, who came on as a substitute, received a long diagonal pass from Li Ang and volleyed successfully in the Leicester City penalty area!

After the score changed to 2-0, Chelsea began to defend with all their strength. Seeing this, the Leicester City players quickly lost their appetite for attacking.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 2-0. Chelsea completed the set goal before the game and did not add trouble to their road to the championship.

After the game, almost all Chelsea players had no intention of celebrating at home first. Instead, they all ran to the coaching bench and asked assistant coach Holland how the match at Manchester City on the other side was going.

Holland was still refreshing the real-time news page on his mobile phone. After about half a minute, he jumped up from the coaching bench with wide eyes and cheered!

"Southampton tied with Manchester City 2-2 at home! It's over! We won the championship early!!!"

Before he finished speaking, the surrounding Chelsea players dispersed with excited screams, and then rushed into the stadium together and began to celebrate wildly!

Chelsea fans in the stands who had not received the exact news at this time saw the passionate gestures of their own players on the field. How could they not understand that they had won the championship in advance? !

Strong and uneven cheers broke out again!

Mourinho, Ruiz and Holland held each other tightly and circled enthusiastically on the sidelines.

Li Angcai and Matic ended their strong embrace, and Hazard, who rushed into the court, jumped directly on his shoulders and shouted passionately in his ear:

"Boss! We did it! We won three consecutive championships!"

Li Ang laughed and patted Hazard's butt with his backhand, and then proudly raised his arms and shouted to the fans in the stands!

Yes, they did it, they have established a blue dynasty in the Premier League!
