Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 202 The FIFA Virus has a big impact, Li Ang is strong at the bottom! 【Big guys please subscribe! 】

Just as European countries are in full swing for the final sprint of the world preliminaries.

In the Cobham training base, Li Ang led a group of young generals who were looking at him with golden stars in their eyes to complete the daily training.

With the past two seasons, Mourinho promoted the Castilla Gang in Real Madrid and successfully trained a group of young Spanish talents.

At present, under the hype of the British media outside, Chelsea's not a few young players have also gained more attention.

For example, young talents like Van Ginkel, Ake, Callas and Bertrand.

But completely different from outside reports, Mourinho does not have much joy in his heart at the moment, but instead has a lot of heavy sense of responsibility.

Yes, when he was in Real Madrid, he brought out a lot of young talents, including Real Madrid's own youth training players, as well as talented young players he bought.

Judging by the training results, his work is very good, and he can be completely proud of it.

But it is also because of the experience of patiently cultivating and channeling the psychology of young players in those two years.

So for Mourinho, he must be very cautious when dealing with Chelsea's teenagers.

There are many unknown forks in the road of talent. Not all young players can be like Li Ang, so that he can let go of renting out with complete confidence.

If these teenagers finally play out, Mourinho will be happy for these young players' success even if they fail to stay at Chelsea.

Taking a step back, Chelsea can at least get a considerable amount of transfer fee income in the end, so why not do it?

But what I am most afraid of is the situation where injuries and lack of competition will eventually hurt Zhongyong.

So it's not just Mourinho himself, but also Chelsea's coaching staff and the director in charge of youth training.

Now they are making as detailed and comprehensive a training plan as possible for the future of these young lads.

"Ake and Karas will be loaned out during the winter window. We already have enough players at the two full-back positions. They won't have too many opportunities to play this season.

Young defenders still need more games and mistakes to learn lessons and grow.

Don’t be reluctant to let them go, if you only rent them out for one season, they will feel uncomfortable getting along with their new teammates, and they will not be able to gain the trust of the new team coach..."

After making arrangements for the two defenders, Ake and Karas, Mourinho focused on the detailed medical report of the young man Van Ginkel.

"It goes without saying about Marco, we all know how talented he is, but the most difficult thing right now is his high injury-prone physical condition.

Appropriate weight gain first, and then slowly adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League game. These two points are very important, and they are also the key suggestions given by the team medical team.

For matches against low-level league opponents, Marco will not be arranged to play for the time being. I will try to give him some opportunities to play in the second half of the Premier League and domestic cup matches. "

"What about Ryan? He is not young anymore, should we arrange for him to continue renting out?"

Facing the question from assistant Holland, Mourinho smiled and shook his head.

"No, Ryan will not go out on loan. We need to fight on the four fronts this season, and Ashley's state has fluctuated a lot, so in the following games, Ryan will have a lot of opportunities to play. He will be our left winger. An important part of offense and defense."

Hearing what Mourinho said, everyone in the conference room immediately understood that Bertrand was likely to be corrected by Mourinho this season.

If he is good enough, Chelsea's left-back starter should gradually change from Ashley Cole to him.

After making arrangements for more young players in the team one after another, Mourinho asked about the current situation of the wounded in the first team.

After learning that Mikel and Azpilicueta are recovering quite well, Mourinho was relieved.

Now there are Ramirez, Lampard, Essien and Matic in the team who can play as a midfielder, so Mikel's temporary absence is acceptable to Mourinho.

But with only one Ivanovic hard top at the right back, Azpilicueta's recovery has attracted Mourinha's attention.

Facts have proved that Mourinho's concerns and concerns are not groundless.

Just two days after the Chelsea coaches finished the meeting.

Ivanovic was injured at halftime in the world preliminaries due to a slight sprained ankle, and returned to London ahead of schedule for further examination and physical rehabilitation.

Essien's presence and Azpilicueta's timely comeback are particularly important at this moment.

But a few days later, when Chelsea's players left the national team to report to the training base, the sorrow on Mourinho's face became more intense.

For Chelsea, perhaps the only good news at present is that except for Ivanovic, the rest of the first-team players who participated in the world preliminaries have no further injuries.

But a group of players who have consumed a lot of physical energy and seem to be in a very unoptimistic state at present have indeed added a lot of problems to Mourinho.

First of all, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Gary Cahill and Ibrahimovic have played two full World Cup preliminaries in the past ten days of international breaks without much rest.

Therefore, in the next round of the contest against Everton, these four players will basically not be able to start.

In the position of left back and defensive midfielder, Ashley Cole has Bertrand to top, and Lampard also has Essien to top.

David Luis Gartri's centre-back combination deserves Mourinho's trust.

Even in the center position, Ibrahimovic takes a round of rest. If Torres is not used, Mourinho can only use Lukaku.

Seeing that there are not a few days left before the resumption of the Premier League, Mourinho also quickly made starting arrangements based on the players' respective states.

On the afternoon of September 9th, the whole Chelsea team came to Goodison Park to challenge Everton, who is currently undefeated in the Premier League in the new season.

Everton have drawn in the first three rounds of the Premier League.

From what it looks like so far, Everton, who has lost Moyes and midfielder Fellaini, still seems to be stuck in a tactical quagmire.

However, Everton's executives and fans still have a lot of confidence in coach Martinez, who was able to lead Wigan Athletic to defeat Manchester City to win the FA Cup last season.

Although they didn't win a game in the first three rounds, they didn't lose anyway. In this round against Chelsea, the psychological expectations of Everton fans are also relatively low.

As long as they don't lose to Chelsea and can break Chelsea's winning streak in the new season, then Everton fans are naturally willing to give Martinez more patience and support.

Of course, they don't know now that the seemingly menacing Chelsea is actually not sure of winning in their hearts.

The FIFA virus this time has hit the veterans of the Chelsea team hard, and Mourinho had to start the rotation.

But what he didn't expect was that even in the face of Chelsea's rotation, Martinez still carefully arranged a starting lineup of [-].

Not to mention the main defensive players, Martinez also unreservedly dispatched Barry and McCarthy, a young and old combination with outstanding defense, in the double defensive midfielder position.

If in the previous rounds of the league, Chelsea faced teams that could not withstand the impact in the middle of the midfield, then Everton's midfield was completely different.

The old Barriga and the young McCarthy and Barkley have excellent defensive experience and confrontation ability, and the talents of the two young midfielders are still outstanding.

This game is really difficult for Chelsea, who are almost disabled.

After the start of the game, Everton indeed withstood the impact of Chelsea's rush to start by relying on the heavy forces hoarded in the middle of the midfield.

Li Ang's state is not much different from usual.

After grabbing the opening game and controlling the rhythm of the midfield, Li Ang also quickly directed his teammates to intersperse and move, and he assigned the proportion of attacking direction.

However, Hazard's breakthrough performance today is really a little tired.

So Li Ang also had to try to hand over the offensive ball to De Bruyne, or Bertrand who frequently inserted on the left.

Chelsea, which has taken control of the offensive dominance, has been unable to open a gap on the offensive end for a long time, and today there is no involvement of Ibrahimovic's retreat in the middle.

So for Everton, as long as they perform normally, they will definitely be able to find good opportunities on the counterattack end.

After all, Chelsea as a whole is still looking for offensive opportunities in the forward press. In terms of midfield and backcourt, there will be a lot of gaps in Chelsea's wings and rib areas.

Barry definitely has this vision and the ability to launch a long pass counterattack in the backcourt.

After all, he is a capable midfielder who can also win the main position in Manchester City and win the Premier League championship.

McCarthy's immaturity in this area is not a problem at all, he only needs to help Barry share enough defensive pressure.

And Barry, who had enough energy to launch an accurate long pass on the counter-attack, quickly made Chelsea feel his threat.

In the No.13 minute of the first half, after personally breaking Hazard's dribbling breakthrough, Barry only made a little step adjustment, and then sent a long diagonal pass across the entire midfield!
Everton's left midfielder Naismith is inserting into Chelsea's right half rib area at high speed at the moment!

And Ramirez, who was following the team as a whole to press near the center line before, couldn't interfere with Naismith's advance with the ball at the moment.

Fortunately, David Luiz did not retreat this time, but directly attacked and shoveled very boldly!
The aggressive defense of the Brazilian central defender can sometimes become his fatal flaw.

But at this moment, he has undoubtedly become the hero of Chelsea's defense!

Terry and Essien, who was back on defense, pulled David Luiz from the turf passionately, high-fived and hugged.

Although the referee on duty gave Everton a free kick in front of Chelsea's penalty area.

But for Chelsea's players, it is very worthwhile to pay such a price.

Anyway, it didn't let Naismith and Jelavic, who had just inserted into Chelsea's penalty area, take a shot.

At this moment, Li Ang slightly shook his head with a solemn expression.

And with a similar expression to him, there is Mourinho standing on the sidelines holding his hands.

Mourinho decided that the tactical arrangement of pressing forward to attack at the beginning of the game is completely fine.

The problem is that after pressing across the center line to suppress Everton, Chelsea just played a performance of gaining momentum and not scoring.

Then a series of problems of being counterattacked by the opponent will naturally follow.

This time Everton's counterattack attempt was indeed resolved by David Luiz's excellent defense.

But what about next time?

After Everton has played a steady stream of threatening counterattacks, can Chelsea guarantee that there will be no problems with their defense every time?

Thinking of this, Mourinho subconsciously looked at Li Ang on the field.

But after only serious thinking for a few seconds, Mourinho gave up the idea of ​​letting Li Ang delay.

Now that Li Ang is dedicated to defense, he can even do better than Ramirez and Essien.

But that would be a waste of Li Ang's current offensive ability.

"This damn FIFA virus..."

Mourinho, who was scratching his head for a while, thinking about how to break the game, could only let Li Ang run more on both ends of the offense and defense.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Coupled with his absolute trust in Li Ang, Mourinho can only choose to suffer Li Ang first.

For Li Ang, this is not a problem. Whether it is defense or offense, as long as the team needs him to focus on performance, it is absolutely fine for him to do more work.

So in the rest of the first half of the game, I watched Li Ang finish his offense and defense, and he was a father and a mother at both ends.

Fans who are not Chelsea can only say the last sentence:
Tears!
It is also because of Li Ang's spare no effort to sweep the midfield, so Everton's repeated counterattacks did not really threaten Chelsea's goal in the end.

It's a pity that Chelsea still got nothing on the offensive end.

De Bruyne, who has played two world preliminaries, is almost in the same state as Hazard, who has only played one world preliminaries.

Their performances on both sides are mediocre, so most of Li Ang's distribution of the ball can only be lost.

Not to mention the lack of offensive feedback, the key is that there is still Lukaku who is at the forefront and can't get to the right position!
Lukaku has done a good job of running without the ball and finding gaps.

But just before the shot, he was either fast or slow, and Li Ang could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

Li Ang believes that if Chelsea immediately adjusts their tactical thinking, they will not play so many complicated combinations of side and center and penetration in the middle.

Just play counterattack and let Lukaku have enough space to rush, then his performance will definitely be better.

But Chelsea is not such a team. Relying on this style of play is at best trying to qualify for the European War, let alone counting on the championship.

So Chelsea can't change, and Lukaku's habit of playing in the middle can't change either.

On the offensive end, Mourinho can only find other ways to change.

However, during the intermission, Mourinho looked around and looked at Oscar. Mourinho was a little moved, but in the end he shook his head.

This guy has good abilities, but on the one hand, it conflicts with Li Ang's current position.

On the other hand, his ability is not outstanding enough to forcibly change the deadlocked situation.

After turning around, Mourinho finally withdrew Lukaku from the center position first.

Torres played directly after the start of the second half, topping the front line of the striker.

Even under the marking of Everton's defense, Torres couldn't score, but at least he could withdraw to be a fulcrum.

Lukaku was not replaced directly, and Hazard, who played so hard to describe today, ended up on the field.

Not to mention the weakness of the breakthrough, Hazard shot the football directly into the stands in a good shot opportunity in the first half.

Lukakula at least has a strong impact behind him.

In contrast, Mourinho feels that keeping Lukakura on the field may have a greater offensive effect.

Of course Hazard knew his poor performance today, so he obediently expressed that he understood the coach's arrangement.

After the change, Chelsea finally opened up the gap on the left.

This kid Lukaku has space and has the ball to rush up, that's really useful!

And Li Ang, who has gained more tactical freedom from Mourinho, is also bolder at this moment to press near Everton's penalty area!
Although up to now, Li Ang's shooting ability has just passed 74.

But now he has crossed the threshold of 85. His long-range shots and 87's header ability allow him to have a lot of offensive space inside and outside the Everton penalty area.

And after Li Ang further premised his position, Everton's defensive players in the middle and in the penalty area also became nervous involuntarily!
After all, in the last round of the Premier League, Li Ang only scored twice against Aston Villa.

A blast shot to break the deadlock and a head hammer to break the goal, so that all the current Premier League teams dare not underestimate Li Ang's back-to-back.

But when these Everton defensive players have made a tighter mark on Li Ang, Lukaku on the left has gained a wider performance space.

In the 604th minute of the second half, after Li Ang received Torres' header back, he was not in a hurry to go forward or split the ball.

After he pulled the side to the right, he first signaled De Bruyne to continue to the bottom, but then he knocked the ball back to Essien who inserted into the middle.

The advance crossing given by Li Ang and Essien's jumping in and running are quite harmonious.

After receiving the ball, Essien first pretended to take a long-range shot. After Everton's backcourt defense became chaotic, he rushed the ball to Bertrand, who was actively lapping on the left, before Barry's interception!

Almost at the same time, Lukaku, who cut inside, and Torres, who returned to Everton's penalty area again, raised their arms and began to rush forward!
Bertrand observed for a while, and then directly sent a slightly roundabout cross!
Distin subconsciously ran towards Lukaku, Chelsea's tallest and strongest offensive player in Everton's penalty area at the moment.

Jagielka realized that something was wrong.

But just as he was about to put down Torres and run towards Li Ang, who had adjusted his pace to take off at the back of the penalty area, he was caught in a lateral position by the experienced Torres!
Before the swearing came out, Jagielka saw that Li Ang had overwhelmed his left back Baynes and completed a head-shaking attack!

"Oh, this is a good opportunity! Lukaku passed by, Bertrand's bottom! He is making adjustments... a cross! Point behind Everton's penalty area! Leon——!!!"

When Zhan Jun's high-pitched roar resounded in the ears of every Huaguo fan watching the Premier League live broadcast, there were not a few fans who roared excitedly along with him!

Li Ang's head-shaking attack was full of force this time!
After all, Baines, who is only 1.7 meters tall, did not put too much pressure on him in the fight for the top.

Howard, an old American goalkeeper, has a lot of experience, but his response is declining year by year with age.

Facing this close-range header, Howard didn't even make a save!
The only thing he could do was to turn his head and watch the football rub against the inside of the goal post and the side netting before it passed the line and landed on the turf inside the Everton goal without any dispute!

The stalemate for almost 65 minutes was ruthlessly broken by Li Ang at this moment!

Mourinho is also completely excited, even more excited than when Chelsea won a zero-seat victory at Old Trafford before!
He rushed out of the coach's bench, almost exactly the same as Li Ang. After sprinting for a certain distance, he jumped up and threw his fists and roared in celebration!

Of course, Mourinho must not be jumping as high as Li Ang now, but the passion between the two is almost the same!

And just when Chelsea's players swarmed towards Li Ang passionately.

Countless Chelsea fans also covered their heads, screaming and exclaiming in front of the TV!
They were completely overwhelmed by Li Ang's ability to fight tough battles!
It is said that hearing is false and seeing is true.

And now all the Premier League fans who have seen Li Ang's tough performance with their own eyes have nothing to say.

The FIFA virus has had a huge impact on Chelsea, but so what?

Li Ang's ability to cover the bottom line is strong!
