Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 198 From Unpredictable to Substitute Raider?Watch my Belgian explosion!
Zhan Jun almost made his first live commentary mistake after joining Sina Sports!

Just like the more than 4 fans at Stamford Bridge at the moment.

This ass was still hot, but they saw Li Ang smashing Hull City's defense in one wave, and teamed up with Ibrahimovic to score the first goal of the game!
At this moment, only 39 seconds have passed since the start of the game!
And judging from the scene where Mourinho and Holland hugged their heads in shock, and then passionately hugged and celebrated.

This kind of blitz is definitely not the tactical routine formulated by Mourinho before the game.

In other words, this is a tactical decision made by Li Ang on the offensive end!
Taking advantage of the space opened by teammates on the two wings, Li Ang's fake fax pass and timely inverted triangle return pass made Ibrahimovic's kick not too easy.

The commentator of Sky Sports also mobilized his emotions at this moment. He looked at Li Ang who was embracing and celebrating with Ibrahimovic in the live broadcast camera with great excitement, and praised him fiercely!

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable home debut performance! 39 seconds!
When we were still guessing how many games Leon and Zlatan would use to get their first Premier League statistics before the game.

They gave an answer that no one could imagine!

Just 39 seconds!

The former Milan Brothers successfully connected at Stamford Bridge and created this smooth and beautiful goal!
Personally, I'm certainly not sure right now that this duo will be a big success at Chelsea.

But at least at this moment, they have captured the hearts of the Blues fans! "

As if he also heard the emotion of the Sky Sports commentator, the director cut the live broadcast directly to the Stamford Bridge stands that were completely boiling and cheering at the moment!
And as the camera zoomed in in the next second, the figures of Abramovich and Chelsea director Gurley, who were laughing and applauding in the box at the moment, suddenly appeared in front of the fans and audience!

Perhaps at this moment, Abu's mood is joyful and relieved.

He likes the promising midfielder and the center that Mourinho is optimistic about, and he showed a very good performance in the opening stage of the first game of the new season!
The transfer fee of the two together is almost [-] million euros, which does not seem to be that high.

Of course, to achieve value for money, even very cost-effective.

Then Li Ang and Ibrahimovic need to show more outstanding performances to make more favorable proofs.

And on the pitch at this moment, the Chelsea players who had just finished celebrating excitedly heard Li Ang's voice of further encouraging the whole team!

"Let's work harder and try to score more goals against them in the first half!

It is not common to play a newly promoted horse in the first show of the new season~
If there are fewer wins today, we will all be sorry for the schedule! "

This is so confident that it can even be said to be a bit arrogant, but it didn't make other Chelsea players feel that there was anything wrong.

Playing a newly promoted horse should have such an aura.

And the confidence in Li Ang's tone of "We're going to play like this!"

It makes other Chelsea players feel very superior!
So under the slightly surprised eyes of the Hull City players.

The players on Chelsea's side quickly cheered each other on, and aggressively took the initiative to return to their own half with the football!
When Hull City kicked off again, Chelsea's frontcourt players actively launched a defensive pressure on Hull City near the center line.

The current Chelsea certainly cannot achieve the ultimate oppression of Real Madrid's space on the pitch.

However, against a newly promoted team like Hull City, Chelsea's high-position oppression effect at the moment is enough.

"Chelsea's high pressure is very fierce! After scoring the first goal, Chelsea's players don't seem particularly satisfied. They still want more offensive opportunities!"

Looking at the slightly familiar defensive oppression scene, Zhan Jun also lifted his spirits.

This is very similar to the style of play that Mourinho mainly used when he was in Real Madrid.

And like Zhan Jun, many fans watching the game at this moment also believe that Mourinho is going to repeat the oppressive counterattack tactics that have made him so successful in the past three years at Chelsea.

But after taking a closer look at the active pressing methods of Chelsea players, many old fans who understand football have a different taste.

In the past at Real Madrid.In Mourinho's oppressive tactics, the main interception area of ​​the ball is placed on the center line, or even within his own half.

Maybe this has something to do with Li Ang's position at the back.

After all, Real Madrid's main midfield interceptors at the time were Li Ang and Essien, or Li Ang and Matuidi.

The worst combination is the combination of Leon and Modric, and Alonso delays and organizes with peace of mind, occasionally helping to defend.

This kind of oppressive defense that puts the opponent into one's own half and then completes the tackle can maximize the threat of Real Madrid's two-wing counterattack.

And Leonga Alonso, the two defensive midfielders in front and one behind, also added two reliable locks to Real Madrid's overall defense.

It seems that there is nothing novel about the arrangement of this set of tactics, and it is not so difficult to reproduce it.

But three years have passed, and until Mourinho left Real Madrid, no team has played a similar super-efficient midfield interception.

The key lies in Alonso and Li Ang, the two top defensive midfielders in active service.

There is a wide range of coverage and interception near the center line, and there are also stable penalty area protectors behind the drag.

Two top insurances made Real Madrid's midfield defense so stable.

And Alonso's top-level long pass also made Real Madrid's counterattack so sharp and threatening. It didn't need a midfield transition to get a direct and precise connection with the forwards.

If the rest of the teams want to replicate Real Madrid's tactics, they must first have a midfield master-apprentice combination similar to Real Madrid's offensive and defensive balance.

Can't own it, can't even reproduce the bankrupt Alonso and Leon combination?

Then there's no way.

Real Madrid dared to put their opponents directly into their own half to clean up, because the covering defense could keep up.

It doesn't matter who your attacking star is, if you can't beat Li Ang, you don't want to face Alonso easily, and if you can't beat Alonso, you don't want to face Real Madrid's central defender easily.

So at the moment, the old fans who watch more football and are more sensitive to tactical judgments quickly noticed the difference between Chelsea's current oppressive tactics and Real Madrid's.

After all, although Li Ang will be at Chelsea.

But Lampard, who only switched to playing as a midfielder later in his career, and Ramirez, who is not the top defensive player.

It is definitely not comparable to the Alonso Gaessin midfielder combination of Mu-style Real Madrid in the late period.

The lagging defensive players are not capable enough to cover the bottom line, so Chelsea must not dare to give up the oppression and control of the center line area easily.

So Mourinho simply chose the premise of the area covered by the sweep.

There are many benefits to this arrangement of tactics, but generally speaking, there are not many teams that can make it.

Because before the formation of this Chelsea team, no team would be willing to let their offensive core bear such a great pressure on defense.

It was sweeping and intercepting, and the physical fitness of the two wingers had to be used to press the defense together with the premise.

But when Mourinho brought Li Ang to Chelsea as the core midfielder, this impossible scene became quite possible and extremely reasonable.

The premise of restricting Li Ang's position is actually his offensive threat ability.

So when he doesn't have any major shortcomings in this area.

A small steel cannon core that can cover the opponent's half court, complete the offensive task, and perfectly undertake the pressure of interception and sweeping defense was born in this way!
As for the issue of more physical energy consumed by wide players, it is not so difficult for the young Hazard and De Bruyne to accept.

If you want to play the main starter under Mourinho, what if you don't defend much and run actively?
Bertrand, who can attack and defend, and Lukaku, who is more like a winger, can top the two wings.

Rotation is not a problem at all.

You know, apart from ability, what Mourinho values ​​most is attitude.

For the sake of the starting position that he has finally stabilized, the two wing geniuses of Belgium are also defending quite vigorously!
And Hull City, who were fighting against a group of rough opponents in the British Championship a few months ago, are now facing Chelsea's all-out pressing tactics in the midfield and midfield, and the midfield organization is suddenly in chaos!
Brady, who had taken the initiative to confront Li Ang before, was also psychologically shadowed by Li Ang's physical fitness.

Facing Li Ang's fierce and aggressive oppressive defense, Brady immediately lost the desire to make a bold breakthrough.

He chose to pass the ball back to the central defender or hit his midfielder Meller horizontally.

The tall and strong Mailer had planned to confront Li Ang head-on at first.

As a result, when Li Ang switched the pressing method, using his speed and agility to continuously shoot out quickly, trying to grab the ball under his feet, Mailer was also tortured and painful!
God testifies, he is a typical British defensive midfielder, and his skills at his feet are relatively rough!
There are so many excellent midfielders in La Liga who can't hold back Li Ang's rush. When he saw Li Ang rushing towards him at this moment, his calves trembled a little.

That is, there is no other way to deal with it except for kicking and passing back!
And the rest of Hull City's central and backcourt players were also terrified after experiencing the dangerous scene of playing a fast attack immediately after being intercepted by Chelsea several times.

Without any explanation from their head coach, the tactics switched to the traditional British long pass.

It is better to lose the ball than to be directly intercepted by the opponent in one's own half. A counterattack will come, okay? !
In such a scene of constant pressure and immediate attack after winning the ball, none of the Chelsea fans at the scene rested quietly for more than 1 minute!
Hazard's sharp breakthrough, Li Ang's center and back, Debrauyne's threatening pass, plus Ibrahimovic who dominates the Hull penalty area and competes for the top!
Some small flaws in the cooperation of several people can't cover up this unreasonable offensive excitement at all!

The Chelsea fans who were tortured by Benitez last season felt extremely joyful and happy at this moment.

Maybe they didn't expect that Mourinho, who returned to the Blue Bridge again, could lead the team to play such a smooth and beautiful offensive scene.

And in the No.207 minute of the first half, when Hazard received an over-the-top through from De Bruyne, broke into the Hull City penalty area and scored again with a low shot.

The fanatical atmosphere and cheers at the Stamford Bridge were almost breaking through the sky!

And Zhan Jun praised Li Ang again at this moment.

Because De Bruyne, who was able to calmly send a threatening overhead ball in front of the Hull City penalty area, had received Li Ang's ingenious and bold diagonal through!
Li Ang has become more and more proficient in using this passing ability in the fleeting opportunities of the offense.

Obviously, Hazard, who feels that it is easier to score goals than last season, has become more and more admired by Li Ang!

A wide player like him who is technical and doesn't have much ambition.

Covered by the big brother in the middle, the big brother picks up the offensive and defensive rhythm, and also attracts more defensive forces from the opponent. He can't play too comfortably~
Even though the offensive possessions are indeed less than last season, his mentality is more relaxed.

After all, more pressure is on Li Ang and Ibrahimovic. He only needs to use his skills stably and play a matchup advantage on the side. There will be many opportunities to perform.

With this comparison, Hazard felt that there was nothing wrong with playing the game like now.

In the second half of the first half, Chelsea deliberately chose to slow down after gaining a two-goal advantage.

The main reason is that the aging veterans in the midfield still need to be more considerate.

Even if Mourinho doesn't say anything, Li Ang himself will lower the rhythm of the game in a timely manner.

After the first half of the Premier League debut game in the new season, the Chelsea team, whether they are veterans or young players, are in a good mood.

During the half-time break, the Chelsea dressing room was also full of brisk laughter.

Li Ang took the time to communicate with Lampard and Ashley Cole, who will be more involved on the offensive end.

And his timely communication and patiently asking for advice and listening attitude also comforted the two veterans in the Chelsea team.

Let's give way, after getting older, the veterans in the Chelsea team are actually mentally prepared.

But in any case, they are all former football superstars, if they really want to be instigated by the younger core of their own generation, or even ignored.

Then they must still be unacceptable.

Fortunately, what Li Ang showed to them was not perfunctory politeness, but a real question of advice and respect.

The young core who is capable but humble, willing to learn, and knows how to respect the achievements of the team will naturally be more loved and recognized by the veterans of the Chelsea team.

Mourinho was not surprised when he saw this scene, because Li Ang had already shown his flattering language skills when he was in Real Madrid.

Coupled with the assistance of Essien from the side, Mourinho was not worried about the progress of Li Ang's integration into the Chelsea team from the beginning.

After the start of the second half of the game, Chelsea, who adopted a more secure tactic, also further improved their midfield cooperation.

Hull City's strength is relatively limited. Through the first half of the contest, Chelsea's players have figured out the opponent's offensive level.

Underestimating the enemy is definitely not counted, but it is an inevitable tactical choice for Chelsea to control the rhythm more in the midfield and kill Hull City's will to counterattack.

In terms of patience, Chelsea fans are much better than Real Madrid fans.

The team played boldly and passionately in the first half, and Chelsea fans were naturally very happy.

And in the second half, when Mourinho chose a more secure tactic.

The Chelsea fans at the scene will not feel annoyed, and dissatisfied behaviors such as boos are even more impossible.

Using actual combat to run in the tacit cooperation between the players and the proficiency in the use of tactics is of course very effective.

When the game reached No. 70 minutes in the second half, Mourinho also began to choose substitutions.

Bertrand took the lead to replace veteran Ashley Cole.

Then came off the bench was the teenager Lukaku, who had attracted the attention of Chelsea fans and various media in England before the start of the new season.

The Belgian young center, who scored [-] goals in the Premier League last season, now has the nickname "Little Monster".

Naturally, there is no need to say much about the ardent expectations of Chelsea fans for him.

However, to the surprise of the fans and reporters at the scene, Lukaku did not replace Ibrahimovic, but replaced Hazard who scored a goal in this game!
Lukaku didn't play as a center forward, but became a left winger?

Mourinho's substitution method immediately made countless fans unable to understand.

However, Lukaku seemed quite happy, and it didn't look like he was temporarily pulled on the field to make up for the wing.

And Lukaku, who had a naive smile on his face at this moment, once again recalled the scene when Mourinho talked to him before.

At that time, Mourinho let Lukaku make his own choice. He wanted to be an all-round striker with both impact and mobility.

Still want to gain weight and embark on Drogba's development path.

When Lukaku heard what Mourinho said, he immediately became entangled in surprise.

Because since he became famous in the Belgian league, the outside media have been promoting and encouraging him to embark on the development path of a black and tough big center.

He originally thought this way before, but after he gained enough offensive tactical status in West Brom last season, he prefers the pleasure of pulling the side to attack the opponent's defense.

It is okay to let him play in the middle, but the rough confrontation of the Premier League defenders and his own judgment of the ball make him not very comfortable.

So after a night of thinking, he finally gave Mourinho the answer in his heart.

Mourinho also told Lukaku frankly that he will use this season to let him rotate between the two positions on the side to find more feeling, and give him a more sufficient and relaxed training environment.

The total minutes he has played this season is certainly not comparable to last season when he was at West Bromwich Albion.

But Mourinho's respect and tolerance made Lukaku very grateful.

After playing now, Lukaku quickly received encouragement from Li Ang.

"Romelu, don't have any worries when you fight back later, just find a gap on the side and go forward. I will pass the ball to you in time, and Zlatan will also cover you in front. ..."

The promise of the big brother in the middle made the teenager Lukaku feel at ease.

And just 5 minutes after coming off the bench, Lukaku ushered in his highlight moment!
In the No.709 minute of the second half, Li Ang received a cross pass from Ramirez after stealing the ball, and once again exploded forward!
The Hull City midfielder Collen, who was supposed to block Li Ang immediately, never thought that Li Ang would be able to charge at this time!

His tactical foul was not made, and Hull City's midfielder Mailer naturally had no choice but to retreat all the way.

After all, in the previous game time, Mailer has been played by Li Ang repeatedly with speed and more flexible dribbling changes.

At this moment, he didn't want to be the backdrop for Li Ang's performance again.

But he didn't expect that when Li Ang had just rushed to the top of the arc in Hull City's half, he decisively kicked and sent a diagonal through!
This slightly bold through pass quickly penetrated Hull City's midfield defense and went straight to Hull City's right sideline area!

And after Lukaku gained enough space, he did not hesitate, and went straight to the ball and accelerated!
His figure in the NO.18 jersey seemed to turn into a black sharp knife on the wing, and instantly penetrated the defense zone of Hull City's right defender Muhammadi!

Of course, being able to play such a performance is also inseparable from the reason why Lukaku's physical fitness has impacted the opponent's sharp decline in physical fitness.

But in any case, Lukaku at this moment directly hit the right side of Hull City's big penalty area with his powerful impact.

And the seasoned Ibrahimovic also suddenly moved forward in the middle of Hull City's penalty area at this moment, helping Lukaku directly take away Hull City defender Chester who would have defended him.

The stage has been set, and Lukaku, a newborn calf, also gritted his teeth and cut inside into the restricted area of ​​Hull City!
This time, there is no need for teammates or coaches to shout and remind.

Lukaku made a slight adjustment, and his left foot kicked out of the ball with his straight left foot!
This shot aimed at the far corner of Hull City's goal can be described as powerful!

McGregor tried his best to make a far corner save, but he still couldn't prevent the football from crossing the line and into the net!
In the No.80 minute of the game, Lukaku, who came off the bench for less than 6 minutes, received a through pass from Li Ang and cut in to complete the goal!

Under Ibrahimovic's passionate roar and excited hug and slap, Lukaku shrank his head, and expressed his inner joy with a simple smile!
And the Chelsea fans at the scene celebrated once again by jumping and screaming crazily!

A nearly perfect all-round core, a stable big center, and a talented young offensive cluster around them!
It can be said that Lukaku's amazing performance as a substitute has completely ignited the expectations and enthusiasm of Chelsea fans for the new season.

And Li Ang patted Lukaku on the forehead very satisfied after harvesting the personal data of two assists, and gave this guy a firm hug!

It is difficult for Li Ang to easily guess what kind of achievements Lukaku, who has embarked on another development path, can achieve in the future.

But he feels that the future development prospects of this product will indeed become broader.

On the premise of maintaining more speed and impact, Lukaku's body is now fully sufficient.

And the characteristic of being able to play both sides also makes him destined to get more opportunities to play in the future.

From the unpredictability of the middle lane to the substitute winger, the Belgian explosion, it seems that it is destined to become famous throughout the Premier League!
