Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Pogba didn't understand why Li Ang, who usually communicated with him very kindly, changed his face at this moment, as cold as if he didn't know him.

Being suddenly treated like this by his "idol", Pogba subconsciously felt aggrieved and aggrieved. He wanted to ask Li Ang for an explanation, but Li Ang had already turned around and walked away.

If Pogba was a player born in the 1980s, he would definitely not be confused by Li Ang's behavior at this time, let alone feel any grievance.

After all, compared with the unrestrained young players of their generation, the football seniors born in the 1980s still adhere to the game principle of "the stadium is like a battlefield".

No matter how good your personal relationship with a certain player on your opponent's team is, when you get on the court, you are 100% your enemy.

Dare to laugh and chat with your opponents before and during important games?

Then just wait to get hairdried by the head coach and the team’s big brother during halftime!

Although Li Ang is a solid player born in the 1990s and is only two years older than Pogba, his views on the game and concepts on the field are completely different from Pogba's.

If he really wanted to compare himself, he felt that he was very similar to Keane or Vieira back then.

His playing style is smart and tough, and he is willing to sacrifice for the team. At the same time, he also likes to compete with tough opponents on the court.

Maybe he can become good friends with such an opponent off the court, but on the court, he will only try his best to defeat such an opponent head-on.

From this point of view, Li Ang is indeed a "remnant party" of the old era.

Even Hazard, who is a few months older than Li Ang, sometimes can't help but complain that his behavior on the court is too old-fashioned.

So it is very reasonable that Pogba and Li Ang's brainwaves are not compatible at this moment.

After regaining the ball, Li Ang quickly threw himself into a new round of offensive organization. He could not take into account Pogba's emotional changes.

After the attack was frustrated, Juventus's other midfielders quickly shrunk their formation and quickly positioned themselves, which did not give Chelsea a good chance to counterattack.

It can be seen that Allegri is also very wary of Chelsea's counterattack after last year's failure, and he is also quite well prepared in terms of tactics this year.

However, Chelsea's offensive methods are not only quick counterattacks, but also open-minded offensive penetration. Chelsea still has an advantage over Juventus.

It's clear when you look at the technical characteristics of the offensive line and playmaking players.

Chelsea's midfield and frontcourt can handle all tactics. After all, the players themselves have sufficient technical support.

And Mourinho's ability to train the offense is unquestionable.

Although the requirements for players' personal abilities are somewhat higher, as long as his requirements are met, the offensive stars under him can often perform exceptionally well.

Every player in Chelsea's current front three can satisfy Mourinho, and their personal abilities are also among the best in football.

Juventus' offensive line is naturally unique in Serie A, but whether it is Morata or Cuadrado, Mourinho still sees many shortcomings in their technical abilities.

Dybala, who has exquisite skills, has some deficiencies in confrontation and physical fitness. No matter how you compare, Juventus' offensive line is far from Chelsea.

As for midfield organization, Chelsea has two core midfielders supporting the offensive and defensive system.

As long as either Li Ang or Kroos can perform normally in today's game, Chelsea's offensive organization will not have any problems.

Juventus may be able to restrict the performance of one of Chelsea's core points, but they will never be able to make both Leon and Kroos perform abnormally.

Looking at Juventus itself, Marchisio and Pogba can only achieve the organizational effect of Pirlo last year if they perform normally together.

Marchisio delayed to sort out the ball, and Pogba moved forward to distribute the ball. The two were indispensable, otherwise the Juventus midfielder would be lame.

After all, Pogba sometimes sticks to the ball too much, and if he delays and plays as a defensive midfielder, the team's fault tolerance rate will be reduced. Once the opponent completes the steal, the pressure on Juventus's defense will be very high.

Marchisio's ability to break away from the ball when he goes forward is insufficient. Do you expect him to break forward and pass the threatening ball? That's simply not realistic.

As for Khedira, the midfielder that Mourinho once loved and hated, he is not a playmaker at all.

He can go forward and charge into battle, or he can drop back to help his teammates sweep away the defense. When not sick, he is an excellent second-in-command in the midfield, but he has nothing to do with the core of the playmaker.

By comparison, Chelsea's midfield and frontcourt staffing is much better than Juventus.

The team with absolute strength on the court may not necessarily have the last laugh, but the upper limit of the team's performance is bound to be stronger than its opponents and theoretically more stable.

Mourinho understands this very clearly, and Li Ang is also very confident in leading the team to suppress Juventus on the court.

Because he believes in Cross's performance stability.

Even if he devotes more energy to restricting Pogba and counterattacking, he still believes that Kroos alone can sort out Chelsea's organization of the ball.

After losing Pogba, who is performing normally, how much support can Juventus' midfielder provide to their forwards?

No matter how good the forward is, he still needs strong midfield support. Without the ball and no shells, even Messi and Ronaldo, who are as strong as Messi and Ronaldo, can only return in vain in their offensive moves time and time again.

It's a pity that Pogba, who was a little emotional at this time, didn't understand this truth, or he actually understood it, but he cared more about finding the "scene" he had lost.

He began to stubbornly raise his hands to ask for the ball, and constantly challenged Li Ang on offense and defense, but the final result could only push Juventus further into an awkward situation of imbalance.

He couldn't get past Li Ang, at least in one-on-one situations, and his dribbling breakthrough was never successful.

The ball rights that the Juventus backcourt players finally regained were handed over by Pogba.

There was no offensive threat, and Juventus' forwards did not even get a few chances to touch the ball, and they could only watch helplessly as Chelsea launched a new round of counterattack attempts.

On Chelsea's side, with the counter-attacks of Li Ang and Matic, coupled with Cross's calm organization, the three forwards can get a steady stream of offensive opportunities.

Under this ebb and flow, the balance between the two teams testing each other at the beginning of the game quickly disappeared, and was replaced by a one-sided situation in which Chelsea took the initiative in the midfield and continuously attacked the Juventus defense!

Allegri was a little angry. He rushed to the sidelines and yelled at Pogba who was still making mistakes!

Pogba's emotions came up quickly and receded quickly.

He actually regretted it after seeing that the situation was out of control. Allegri's roar at this time actually gave him a step down.

Pogba, who has returned to normal, no longer takes the initiative to take the ball to beat Liang. He has a high football intelligence and now wants to re-establish a stable passing channel with several offensive players.

But he stopped taking the initiative to cause trouble, but Li Ang turned against the visitors and began to take the initiative to squeeze his space for movement and interfere with his retreat to get the ball!

Many neutral fans who saw this scene immediately recalled the famous scene where Li Ang locked up the opponent's core players time and time again in important Champions League games in the past!

Even if he is as strong as Messi, he would feel anxious and uncomfortable when facing Li Ang's candy-style defense at the peak of his personal ability.

Not to mention Pogba, whose mentality and temper are not yet mature.

When he found out that even if he retreated to get the ball, he would be met with Li Ang's tough defense and suffocating confrontation and interception, he inevitably felt nervous and irritable.

Seeing this, Marchisio could only give more of the ball to Khedira and let him drive forward to drive the offense.

But at this moment, with Kroos's marking, Khedira used all three offensive tools and could only awkwardly choose to pass back many times.

Juventus' offensive organization came to a standstill, and in the end they had to rely on Dybala to drop back sharply to catch and dribble.

This completely disrupted Allegri's offensive tactics formulated before the game!

Dybala's physical fitness is valuable, and Allegri hopes that his disciple can threaten Chelsea's goal in limited offensive opportunities.

Instead of using all your physical energy to retreat to get the ball and then find ways to push forward like you do now!

But seeing that Pogba was locked one-on-one by Liang, Allegri knew that he couldn't count on him for the time being.

After thinking for a moment, Allegri waved his hand to Cuadrado to drop back more to help Dybala share the ball pressure.

Pogba was really panicking now. If he didn't have the ball, his effectiveness when playing without the ball was far less effective than when he was playing with the ball.

Li Ang can happily put down his unnecessary "coffee position" and devote himself to defense, sacrificing himself for the team.

But Pogba really can't do it!

Allegri usually asked him to pay more attention to returning to defense, but he didn't pay much attention to it. How could he accept the situation of no longer being the focus of the team and Li Ang self-destructing one-on-one at this time?

Pogba finally started running aggressively in his own half.

But his active running at this moment is not to contribute to the team's defense, but to regain the ball that belongs to him.

Li Ang still stared closely at his "prey".

When other Juventus midfielders did not pass the ball to Pogba, he was not in a hurry to press forward.

And as long as Marchisio shows signs of passing the ball to Pogba, he will immediately press forward to squeeze Pogba's dribbling space!

After finally getting the ball back from his teammates, he turned around and was intercepted by Li Ang from the side. Pogba was brought down to the turf and his mentality was a little bit crazy!

He spread his hands and looked at the referee with hopeful eyes.

But when the referee signaled that Li Ang had not committed a foul and asked him to get up quickly, an angry expression quickly appeared on his face, and he slapped the turf hard to express his dissatisfaction!

Pogba looks like a spoiled child at this moment.

A relatively smooth career along the way not only affected his character, but also greatly reduced his ability to withstand stress.

Perhaps the Juventus coaching staff would usually pamper him, and his teammates would protect him and tolerate him.

But the referee at this moment is not so easy to talk to.

Pogba's negative emotions were obviously misplaced. The referee asked him to stand up in a serious tone and gave him a stern verbal warning!

Pogba seemed very dissatisfied and wanted to defend himself. Fortunately, Marchisio saw that the situation was not good and directly stopped him and persuaded him to leave.

Li Ang just smiled when he saw this scene, but the Chelsea fans in front of the TV didn't have so many worries and started to applaud!

Pogba, whose mentality was unbalanced, had a lot of problems in his performance, and the lameness of Juventus' midfield finally appeared.

Mourinho is sitting more and more at ease in the coaching bench.

Li Ang was not anxious at all. Even if Pogba seemed unable to return to his normal state of mind for a while, he still stared at Pogba for defensive restrictions.

And Chelsea's frontcourt players, who had been conducting offensive tests step by step, finally had their first threatening opportunity in the 21st minute of the first half!

This time it was Kroos who directly launched a long pass from the backcourt after receiving Trippier's horizontal pass.

Accurate long pass guidance gave Hazard, who started on the wing, a one-on-one opportunity with Lichtsteiner!

There were no extra fancy dribbling moves. Hazard changed his direction with a heavy shoulder, then dunked over the unbalanced Lichtsteiner and galloped forward along the sideline!

He advances with the ball very quickly. Even if Lichtsteiner chases back without the ball, he can only watch as he and Hazard get farther and farther apart!

Fortunately, Khedira returned to defense in time this time, which gave Lichtsteiner a little peace of mind.

"Maybe Sami can slow down Hazard's bottom move!"

Lichtsteiner just comforted himself in his heart, but when he looked up, he saw Khedira confidently approaching Hazard to intercept, but in the next moment he was passed by Hazard's ball...

Every one of the Juventus fans at the scene was subconsciously swearing in their hearts at this moment!

Li Ang glanced at Khedira in surprise on the court.

Sure enough, it’s you as expected, Brother Face!

When everyone thinks he is going to be stupid, he can surprise you and make you look forward to him again.

But just when everyone has undue expectations for him, he will resolutely make mistakes and give the fans a big surprise on the offensive or defensive end!

The surprise at this moment is that Hazard successfully broke into the Juventus penalty area and directly tore apart Juventus' defensive system!

Uncle Jon almost lost his temper when he saw it on the sidelines!

Fortunately, Chiellini immediately pulled out and blocked the space for Hazard to continue cutting inside.

But the crisis in Juventus's defense has not been resolved, because Hazard directly sent a swing pass after breaking out!

Facts have proved that Bonucci is still far from the top in football on the defensive end.

After Chiellini blocked Hazard, he did not immediately take a defensive position in the middle of the penalty area. Instead, Suarez, who squeezed in, passively returned to defense!

Therefore, when Hazard sent the cross, Suarez jumped off the ground first, while Bonucci could only attack from behind and interfere with Suarez's fight for the top as much as possible.

Fortunately, he had an absolute advantage in height. Suarez, who was just over 1.8 meters tall, finally got up against him. Neither of them was able to hit the ball correctly, and the ball finally flew to the back of the goal.

De Bruyne, who was actively running, rushed to the ball's landing spot ahead of Evra, but at this time, his shooting space was already very small, and Buffon also quickly adjusted his steps to block it, so he shot it very simply Gave up shooting plan.

Almost in an instant, he caught a glimpse of a figure with arms raised outside the Juventus penalty area. Without thinking much, De Bruyne "passed" the ball.

Li Ang, who was in position, had just stepped on Juventus' penalty area with one foot at this time. There was almost no room for adjustment. He directly swung his right leg slightly to face the flying football, as if he was about to volley. !

Buffon's eyes were solemn, and the moment Li Ang hit the volley, he confidently pounced towards the far corner of the goal!

This is also Li Ang's favorite tricky angle in the penalty area.

Buffon did a thorough study of Li Ang before the game.

He originally thought that his save would be foolproof, but seeing the football that Li Ang drew this time going straight to the center of the goal, his high confidence also sank all the way to the bottom!

"Did he predict the angle of his shot that I would predict?"

The moment he fell onto the turf, a question flashed through Buffon's mind.

But no one would answer his question at the moment.

The football unmistakably crossed the line and hit the net!

The huge cheers that erupted in the San Siro Stadium seemed to tear the night sky above the stadium apart!

In the "shocked" stadium, Li Ang had already spread his arms and ran towards the corner flag area, and then happily completed a long-distance slide to his knees to celebrate!

On the stage of the Champions League final, Li Ang once again scored a key goal!

Commentators from various countries no longer know what words to use to praise this king of tough battles!

Since his debut, Li Ang has achieved personal data in the four Champions League finals he participated in!

Even in Real Madrid, where he is not the core of the midfield, his performance will always shine in the finals.

Players with such a big heart are really rare in the world!

In front of Chelsea's seething bench, Mourinho could hardly contain his excitement.

Li Ang did not disappoint him!

His most proud disciple once again fulfilled his tactical promise and opened the door to victory for him!

The development of football tactics is changing with each passing day, and every well-known coach has his own tactical understanding and pursuit.

But everything remains the same, no matter whether you are pursuing offense or defense, only those who win the midfield can win the world!

This is the supreme truth in the football world!
