Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

The Juventus team entered the halftime period with low morale and doubts about the coaching staff's tactics.

The entire first half of the game was like a nightmare for them.

Not to mention restricting Li Ang's performance like the plan made before the game, on the contrary, their own midfield core was beaten to death by Li Ang.

After the 45-minute game, apart from a few long passes in the opening stage, did Pogba have any outstanding performance?

Either the ball was lost or the defense was out of position. Not to mention the lack of performance on the offensive end, it was already here and they still refused to lower their posture on the defensive end!

We usually have a good relationship in private, but now we are playing in the Champions League final.

Everyone is trying their best for this championship, but you, Pogba, are still throwing a tantrum and refusing to defend. Do you really think you are already a superstar?

Many of Juventus' starting players have opinions about Pogba in their hearts. It is unlikely that they would bring it up directly in person, but it will certainly affect the atmosphere in the locker room.

Allegri didn't think so much. Now the team is already two goals behind at half-time, and Juventus must do everything possible to strengthen its offense in the second half.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to replace Pogba at this time. At most, he will just make a few routine criticisms.

Allegri then devoted all his energy to improving and adjusting the tactics of the second half.

Juventus has already tried both the 451 and 433 formations, but the control effect is not outstanding, and the offensive effect is not even good.

Therefore, Allegri also decisively abandoned the tactical play in the first half and planned to use the 442 formation in the second half that was more "retro" but actually fit well with Juventus' lineup.

If it really doesn't work, he still has a 352 tactical trump card, and he can always try out a formation that can produce results one by one!

Standing in the middle of the locker room and passionately explaining tactical adjustments, Allegri was trying his best to counterattack, but the main Juventus players surrounding him at this moment had different expressions.

The complete opposite is naturally the atmosphere in the Chelsea locker room at this moment!

It's not that unrestrained, after all, Old Mu is still watching from the sidelines, but all the Chelsea starting players are smiling happily at this moment, and their eyes also contain the longing for the Champions League championship.

Li Ang seems much more calm than his teammates at this moment.

After all, he is a big-hearted player who has experienced such critical moments many times. He knows how to control his emotions and what should be done at this time.

He drank some energy drink, then quickly changed out of his dirty jersey and shorts, took off his socks and sat on a chair in the locker room to feel some physical recovery.

Mourinho stood in the middle of the locker room, reviewing some of the tactical mistakes the team made in the first half.

While Li Ang was listening, he was also considering the limiting effect on Pogba in the first half of the game.

If he puts himself in his shoes, he feels that Pogba will definitely avoid him in the second half, and Uncle Jon will definitely adopt a new tactical plan to help Pogba out.

In his opinion, the best way to deal with it is for Pogba to delay and replace Marchisio to organize and distribute the ball.

Khedira always likes to go forward anyway. Instead of putting him in the backcourt to increase pressure on other defensive players, it is better to move him directly to the frontcourt and let him actively participate in the offense.

With this change of position, Pogba can at least give full play to his ability to organize long passes.

If Li Ang then moves forward into Juventus' defensive hinterland to restrict Pogba's performance, then Marchisio, who has moved forward, can naturally take over the organizational responsibility.

His ability to pass threatening balls is not as good as Pogba's, but his ability to support passes and distribute the ball stably is always better than that of Face.

If Juventus really wants to adjust the player positions like this, it will indeed be a problem for Chelsea.

But now that Chelsea has a two-goal advantage, they are not afraid to open up and fight against each other!

Li Ang quickly thought of a response plan, just as Mourinho looked over after reviewing the team's performance in the first half.

When Li Ang saw this, he directly gave his head coach a "don't worry" look, indicating that he was ready for the second half of the game.

When Mourinho saw this, he felt reassured and once again emphasized to the team the importance of controlling the midfield and focusing on defense in the second half.

Chelsea didn't need to make the first move on the tactical end. Their lead was big enough that Mourinho would have time to counterattack after Allegri changed his formation and made a move.

Besides, with Li Ang on the court, Chelsea can also respond immediately.

In this regard, Li Ang has proven his on-the-spot adaptability to the coaching staff many times, and Mourinho absolutely believes in him.

The halftime break was neither short nor long. After each team made their final mobilization preparations, they once again embarked on a cruel journey.

The morale of the Chelsea team was high, and they did not panic when faced with Juventus' fierce attack at the beginning of the second half. They quickly established three lines of defense in their own half!

The first line of defense is the pressure and interference line composed of Suarez and Hazard.

They cruise around near the top of the center circle, and their main defensive targets are Juventus' ball-taking organizers in the midfield and backcourt.

De Bruyne has withdrawn directly to the midfield and backfield at this time, forming a second midfield interception line with Kroos, Leon and Matic.

The coverage area of ​​the four midfielders is enough to cover the hinterland area in front of Chelsea's defense.

At this time, the double midfielder combination of Leon and Matic also withstood the offensive impact of Juventus in the middle!

After being intercepted by Chelsea's two lines of defense, the Juventus team was able to penetrate Chelsea's penalty area only a handful of times.

Especially when the rib area cannot penetrate, no matter whether Morata or Dybala are playing a frontal attack, they are no match for Maguire!

Maguire, who has now successfully grown into a top-notch central defender in football at Chelsea, has a very stable style. He will not take advantage of the opponent if he can.

And his frontal blocking and blocking capabilities have reached the top level in football.

With Maguire doing the dirty work against the near-invincible, and Thiago Silva with extremely rich defensive experience, this central defender combination can be regarded as one of the top three in active service.

The second half of the game lasted ten minutes, but the Juventus forwards who failed to break through Chelsea's last line of defense could fully experience the power of Chelsea's defensive system.

That is to say, Dybala is smarter. Although he does not have an advantage in confrontation, he is still very brave to take the ball and hit Chelsea's defense, and also created several set-piece opportunities for Juventus.

But neither Morata, who is very good at heading the ball, nor Chiellini, who is experienced in set-pieces, could take advantage of Chelsea's header experts.

Just as Kane is often taught through set pieces in the Premier League, Maguire also taught Morata many times today!

And his heroic performance in fighting for the top has repeatedly made the commentator of England's Sky Sports excited "climax".

There was no way, why in the first fifteen minutes of the second half, Chelsea, who was defensive, did not have any threatening counterattack opportunities.

Maguire got a lot of performance opportunities on the defensive end, and his performance was also very impressive, which can be regarded as a wave of reputation under the eyes of fans around the world.

For the Juventus team, it was a good thing that Li Ang no longer targeted Pogba in the second half.

But they soon discovered that Li Ang, who retreated to play as a defensive midfielder and fully participated in the defense, seemed to be a bigger trouble!

If they cannot break through the interception defense line jointly created by Li Ang and Matic, they will never be able to truly control the offensive initiative.

Regardless of the number of offensive rounds, Chelsea's penalty area can't be penetrated, so what's the point of brushing up these passing data?

Fifteen minutes of game time have passed, and all the offensive methods that should be tested have been used up. Facts have proved that attacking Chelsea in the middle of the midfield is really not a wise choice.

But Juventus's wing attack is not very strong.

Dybala actually has no speed advantage when placed on the wing. Cuadrado is the only one in Juventus who can be regarded as the fastest player.

In Serie A, Juventus has always been able to ensure the smooth operation of the offensive system with its more luxurious offensive line than other teams.

The defensive capabilities of the Milan duo and Naples in the middle of the midfield are not necessarily very strong, and Juventus' penetration and attack can be effective.

But at this moment, facing Chelsea, who have the strongest defensive ability in Europe, Juventus seems to be very embarrassed when it is impossible to go through the middle and attack from both wings.

Seeing that there was only half an hour left in the game, the helpless Allegri could only turn his attention to full-back Alex Sandro on the bench.

After all, apart from Cuadrado, there are no fast wingers in Juventus, so at this time, Uncle Jon can only count on the two full-backs to produce offensive effects.

So three minutes later, Alex Sandro, who was standing on the sidelines preparing, was replaced, and Evra, who had an average performance today, came off.

Khedira also went off at the same time, and his replacement was veteran central defender Barzagli.

Juventus changed their formation for the last time to play 3, 4, 3, and Allegri also planned to risk his life in advance!

After such a change of formation, the interception intensity of Juventus's midfield will undoubtedly decrease significantly, but the ability to advance and break through from the wing has indeed been greatly enhanced.

The wingers were not capable enough, so they brought in the full-backs to join in. Allegri finally made use of the few cards he had, but in Li Ang's view, this was somewhat helpless.

As long as Juventus has invested more heavily in signings in the past two seasons, and it has become a top-notch left winger, Uncle Jon will not think of ways to strengthen the offensive capabilities on both wings.

Juventus, who have switched to 343, do now have the ability to barely fly on both wings, but do Chelsea need to worry too much?

Of course it's not needed.

After all, Chelsea were able to cope with the super wing offensive of Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale when they played against Real Madrid, let alone Juventus's wing configuration.

Mourinho also continued to sit firmly on the coaching bench. He did not even let several defensive players on the bench warm up first.

And the facts soon proved that his calmness was justified.

Chelsea's right wing, which was supposed to be the focus of Juventus' attack, was rock solid.

Azpilicueta, who has strong single defense ability, and Li Ang, who can support defense from the side at any time, made Cuadrado and Alex Sandro repeatedly fail after switching positions!

Neither of them can be counted on, and it will be even more difficult for Dybala and Lichtsteiner, who mainly focus on passing organization on the other side, to tear apart Chelsea's defense.

When the game time passed the 70th minute of the second half, Allegri, who was standing on the sidelines, felt powerless in his heart.

His preparation for this final is definitely no worse than Mourinho's.

With only these tactical cards in hand, and a team he coaches that is far behind Chelsea in terms of strength, he has already completed four formation changes in this game!

Who can say that his ability to adjust on the spot is not good?

But it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!

He has a plan for adjustments, but the players under his command are lacking in ability.

Being able to lead this Juventus all the way to the Champions League final has proven his team leadership ability and the upper limit of this Juventus' combat effectiveness.

Now it seems that if you want to suppress your opponents and win in the Champions League final, it is still difficult to do so with Juventus' current starting team.

To break it down, after they let go of Vidal in the summer window last year, they were missing a top-notch defensive midfielder in football.

This is a flaw in the lineup. Khedira, who was subsequently introduced, seems to have performed well, but his role on the defensive end is still far behind Vidal.

The waist is not strong enough and the wing configuration is also lame. With these two fatal flaws, Juventus may have been destined to be led by Chelsea before the final started.

Allegri naturally understands the shortcomings of his team. He is a little unwilling. After all, he has come to this point and ultimately fell short.

But in the end he was relieved because he had done his best to bring Juventus to the Champions League final.

If he and Mourinho switched positions today, then it would be Mourinho who should be standing on the sidelines sighing helplessly at this moment...

Uncle Jon shook his head, but the smile on his lips was full of bitterness.

After being unable to attack for a long time, Juventus' offensive players in the frontcourt began to play more and more anxiously.

But the more anxious they were, the more steady and calm Chelsea's defensive backcourt players played.

In the 78th minute of the second half, Li Ang faced Cuadrado who had finally passed Azpilicueta and made a decisive tackle!

His tackle was a little too big this time, and Cuadrado was shoveled out of the sideline with the ball!

The referee on duty couldn't do anything about it even if he wanted to let him go. In the end, he decisively showed him a yellow card.

But Li Ang, who received a yellow card warning, didn't care at all. Instead, after receiving the card, he raised his arms and shouted to the Chelsea and Milan fans in the stands!

The San Siro scene once again became agitated, and as time went by, the Chelsea fans at the scene became more and more excited and happy!

Li Ang's tough defensive response also directly turned on the bloody switch of Chelsea's backcourt players.

In the next seven or eight minutes of the game, Chelsea's backcourt was overwhelmed, and after Li Ang, Matic and De Bruyne also received yellow card warnings one after another.

Mourinho did not choose to make substitutions until now.

Karas and Van Ginkel came on one after another, replacing Matic and De Bruyne who had received yellow cards.

But their appearance was not a reminder to other Chelsea players that they need to calm down.

Three minutes later, Van Ginkel decisively brought down Morata in the backcourt and received another yellow card!

Many neutral fans in front of the TV laughed when they saw this scene. This style is really too "Mourinho"!

After the game entered stoppage time, the ball was once again flying back and forth in both halves.

Juventus, who had no more offensive methods, could only try long passes, but Chelsea knew this well and did not give Juventus any chance.

The anxious Hollander and Mourinho looked at the referee's watch on the sidelines.

But Li Ang, who was on the court, didn't even think about when the game time would end.

He was still defending with all his strength, until after assisting Maguire to double-team Morata for the last time and destroying Juventus' offensive ball, he vaguely heard three crisp whistles in his ears!

"It's over! Boss! We won this championship!!!"

Before Li Ang could react, he was hugged tightly by the excited Maguire!

Deafening cheers rang in his ears. Li Ang turned around and saw the figures and excited faces of his teammates running wildly.

The next moment, the dazzling starry sky in his eyes seemed to spin.

It was Maguire who hugged him and spun him around excitedly. The fatigue in his body seemed to be wiped away. He smiled and patted Maguire's big head.

The season is over.

It's been a great season for him and all the Chelsea players.

A grand championship celebration is waiting for them.

And this offseason is destined to not be peaceful...
