Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 204 The savior in danger is a true hero, the first test of the season's schedule [Please subscribe! 】

"Look, Xiao Li is going to play, right? I just said, Mourinho played Van Ginkel, he can't hold back Oscar, these two young midfielders, which one can play in the starting lineup during the rotation, But you have to match Leon or Lampard, you have to suppress them..."

General Fan, who was a guest at the Sina Sports live broadcast room tonight and commented on the UEFA Champions League with Zhan Jun, is now slapping his thigh and starting to praise Mourinho for his timely response.

"Yes, after the conceded goal, Mourinho also reacted quickly, choosing to deploy Li Ang first to stabilize Chelsea's rhythmic initiative in the midfield.

I just don't know which Chelsea's starting midfielder Mourinho will replace with Li Ang first? "

Zhan Jun knew that he had consulted a lot, but at this moment, the fans in China had already spoken out one after another, complaining about Oscar's poor performance today.

Van Ginkel, although he didn't have any outstanding performance in the first half of the game, it was also because you, Oscar, stole the ball.

At least Xiao Fan is still working hard on the defensive end, and doesn't complain when he doesn't have the ball.

In contrast, the current position overlaps with Li Ang, and today he is still playing selfish Oscar, so naturally he is not very popular with fans in Huaguo.

A few minutes later, taking advantage of a dead ball, Chelsea took the lead in making substitution adjustments.

In the No.30 minute of the first half of the game, Li Ang stepped in and came off the bench to replace Oscar, who had performed poorly before.

There were also thunderous cheers and applause at the Stamford Bridge, fully revealing the confidence of the Chelsea fans in Ly Ang at the moment.

After high fives with his teammates along the way, Li Ang also brought Mourinho's latest tactical adjustment instructions.

The first is the formation. Chelsea has changed from a more offensive four-three-three to a more balanced offensive and defensive four-two-three-one.

If Mourinho intends to let Li Ang play as a midfielder, then [-] can continue to play.

Because Li Ang can do all the work of organization and defense by playing a single midfielder.

But at this moment, Mourinho is counting on Li Ang to take control of the rhythm of the game first in the midfield and sort out the offense.

So four two three one is the safest formation choice for Chelsea at the moment.

Van Ginkel has the talent and potential to play a single midfielder, but he is still young after all

Before the talent is realized, it is just a talent, which makes him and Essien's partner Mourinho feel more at ease.

Hazard and De Bruyne on the forward line retreated one after another and returned to the left and right avant-garde positions.

With Li Ang's reasonable scheduling in the center and stable possession of the ball, Chelsea's offensive thinking quickly became clear and clear.

Compared with Oscar, Li Ang's desire to shoot is not particularly strong.

In the absence of good kicking opportunities, he is generally more inclined to organize the ball in the middle, and let his teammates on the side to involve or try to blast the opponent's defense.

Only when Hazard and De Bruyne are offline like in the last round of the league, will he personally dribble the ball forward and insert behind to actively participate in the offense.

Of course, there is no major decline in the state of Hazard and De Bruyne today.

The two of them didn't show much performance before, and it was also because Oscar seized too much possession of the ball in the middle today.

So with Li Ang's reasonable distribution of the ball, let alone Hazard, today's De Bruyne is very active in trying to make a personal breakthrough on the wing.

After the Belgian wings showed their power at the same time, Basel's two-way defensive players were naturally difficult to deal with.

And in the No.306 minute of the first half, Li Ang stepped forward to meet De Bruyne's cross, and then suddenly kicked and sent a through pass!
This over-the-top threatening pass exceeded the expectations of all Basel defenders, but it seems to have slightly exceeded Torres' expectations...

So under the hasty rush forward to compete for the top, Torres finally missed Li Ang's wonderful pass to the top of the goal frame.

Lukaku, who was sitting on the bench at the moment, seemed to show a slightly disgusted expression after holding his head and sighing.

It's as if he was the striker in Torres' position just now, he would definitely be able to hit Basel's goal with this header.

But Mourinho, who was also annoyed at the moment, didn't even consider replacing Lukaku to replace Torres.

Because Chelsea's Zhengyin center Ibrahimovic has already gone to the sidelines to warm up under the leadership of assistant coach Faria.

The Chelsea fans who watched this scene also blushed rarely.

After all, after seeing the official announcement of Ibrahimovic joining Chelsea at the beginning of the season, many of them made similar jokes about "Ibrahimovic is coming to London to retire".

I didn't expect Ibrahimovic to grow old now, but to be gnawed by Chelsea.

Such a reversal made it impossible for Chelsea fans to make the same jokes as before.

On the contrary, they are very glad that the club only spent less than 2000 million transfer fees to buy a reliable big center like Ibrahimovic.

However, Mourinho ultimately did not play his second substitution card in the first half.

Seeing that the team has clearly controlled the offensive initiative, and has also repeatedly blocked Basel's counterattack stably.

Mourinho was quite satisfied and returned to the player channel after the halftime game.

Ibrahimovic, who has fully completed the warm-up, also walked to the team's locker room.

All Chelsea fans understand that Ibrahimovic will definitely play directly at the beginning of the second half.

Thinking that Li Ang and Ibrahimovic will be on the field in the second half, Chelsea fans have nothing to worry about the situation and score temporarily behind.

And the thousands of Basel fans at the Stamford Bridge will naturally not become worried because of Chelsea's tactical changes in the second half.

Before coming to London, they didn't think that their team could still take the lead at the end of the halftime game.

For them, the happiness at the moment is the most important thing!
The Basel fans who cheered and sang at the Stamford Bridge also passed on their support to the Basel players whose morale was soaring.

Salah, who scored a very beautiful goal in the first half, is also full of confidence at the moment.

He firmly believes that the good time for him to become famous is today!
However, after the second half of the game officially came, Chelsea showed a completely different defensive aggressiveness from the first half.

Immediately, Basel's offensive organization became disorganized.

Facing Li Ang, who was attacking with all his strength, Frye and Dias, who played in the Basel midfielder, both played quite uncomfortable.

So much so that Salah had to withdraw to the midfield frequently to meet his teammates and assist them to play the ball.

After targetedly restricting the performance of Salah, Basel's sharp knife on the wing, Chelsea also launched frequent attacks on the two wings.

Azpilicueta is more inclined to defend, so De Bruyne's forward pressure is not very large.

But on the other side, Bertrand and Hazard could not wait to live directly in Basel's half.

With Li Ang's extra attention on the defensive tilt, Bertrand's forward thrusts became more and more unscrupulous.

Such a scene can easily remind fans of Huaguo that when Li Ang was still in Real Madrid, the successive attacks of Marcelo and Ronaldo can often quickly suppress the opponent's offensive mode on the right.

It's hard to say whether Mourinho's new left-sided corridor for the Blues now refers to the extreme wing attack combination of Ronaldo and Marcelo that he created when he was in Real Madrid.

But one thing the fans can be sure of is that when Li Ang is on the court, Mourinho will delegate power to such an extreme wing attacking duo.

The left-sided combination of Bertrand and Hazard is definitely not comparable to the Real Madrid corridor of Marcelo and Ronaldo.

But it wouldn't be too much to say that the former is the beggar's version of the latter.

And when Hazard is in a normal state, his specific impact is definitely not as good as Ronaldo.

But in this area of ​​​​tearing the opponent's defense, Hazard's dribbling threat is no worse than Ronaldo.

In addition, what we have to deal with today is only Basel's defensive system.

So when Bertrand and Hazard worked together on the offensive end, the defense against Basel on the right can be called a dimensionality reduction blow!

Salah was not reconciled, and tried to find an opportunity to counterattack alone under the pressure of Chelsea's torrential offensive.

But when the defensive player he had to face changed from Essien to Li Ang, he quickly understood a truth.

The defensive player who was able to limit Messi's performance one-on-one two years ago is really tmd strong!

In terms of stealing, tackling, reaction, and explosive speed, Li Ang can't be called the strongest defensive player in football today.

But when he has the first-class level in today's football in these ability values, and even some individual abilities have touched the top threshold.

Coupled with his defensive position selection ability that cannot be measured by statistics, he is the unique and strongest single-defense monster in active service!

After being taught a few times by Li Ang, Salah had to obey even if he refused.

At present, he only has one explosive speed that can give him a slight advantage when facing Li Ang.

But how could Li Ang, who is already very experienced in defense, give him enough space to start?

So Salah's performance gradually became silent.

In the No.601 minute of the second half of the game, Ibrahimovic, who received a pass in the penalty area after Hazard's breakthrough, also successfully completed the goal!
Ibrahimovic's goal this time fully demonstrated his physical talent and technical advantages over Basel's defensive players!
And at this moment, after seeing Ibrahimovic successfully scored an equalizer goal on the offensive end, Mourinho also raised his arms and shouted vigorously in front of the bench!
But after the celebration, Mourinho also made a little complaint.

"Back then, I told you to listen to me and change the way of playing football as soon as possible. If you refuse, this has been wasted for several years. Now it's not that you have transformed and embarked on this path..."

Faria, who heard Mourinho's little complaint, also smiled knowingly.

When he switched to Inter Milan with Mourinho, Mourinho was very optimistic about Ibrahimovic.

Not only did I personally formulate a transformation plan for Ibrahimovic, but I also invited Ibrahimovic to stay and bring him a heavyweight championship trophy for Inter Milan.

Of course, everyone knows what happened next.

Ibrahimovic did miss his best chance to win the Champions League trophy, and also wasted a few years at the peak of his career.

Of course, even if they failed to reach an agreement in the end and failed to walk side by side at Inter Milan to the end, Ibrahimovic's impression of Mourinho is still very good.

He has expressed more than once that he admires and likes Mourinho, and what he likes most is Mourinho's recognition and sincere attitude towards him.

Perhaps it is also because of Mourinho's sincerity.

Therefore, after Ibrahimovic received calls from Li Ang and Mourinho in the summer window this year, he quickly and decisively submitted a transfer application to Paris.

It is true that Ibrahimovic has slowly passed the peak of his career compared to when he first cooperated with Mourinho.

But his physical and technical conditions are here after all. As long as he is willing to transform, he can make full use of his physical and height advantages.

Then Ibrahimovic in the penalty area is still dominant!

And this dominance was not fabricated by Faria and Mourinho.

It's what Ibrahimovic used in his club's four games and four goals in the new season!

Looking at Ibrahimovic and Li Ang who are hugging each other again on the field and shouting to the fans, Faria's heart is full of passion!
In Porto, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, he and Mourinho have worked together to create miracles and dynasties.

The only regret back then was naturally that I didn't lead the iron-blooded blue team to win the Champions League.

And now the opportunity to make up for their regrets is right in front of their eyes.

Faria also firmly believes that this time he and Mourinho will not only shed sad tears at Stamford Bridge...

After the equalizing goal was scored, the morale of Chelsea's players on the field was naturally high!

Li Ang said it over and over again at the moment, shouting at the top of his voice, encouraging his teammates to keep working hard!

Someone roared, someone pulled, Chelsea's young players could see a very clear direction in front of their eyes.

Chelsea's old captain Terry, who was sitting on the bench at the moment, couldn't help nodding with satisfaction.

In the first half, he once worried that Chelsea, which was behind, would not find a way forward and lack the motivation to spur.

After all, for a long time in the past, he himself, Lampard or Drogba, will always have one person on the court to boost the morale of the whole team.

But today he and Lampard are taking turns off, so Terry, as the old captain, is inevitably a little worried.

However, after seeing a series of encouraging actions and performances made by Li Ang, Terry felt that he could really rest on the bench with peace of mind.

Even if Chelsea only drew with Basel in the end of the game, Terry feels that the young players in the Chelsea team have gained a lot.

After all, the spirit of the Jagged Blue Army cannot always exist only in old guys like them.

The younger generation of Chelsea players need more tempered by this kind of game.More mental stress is needed.

Of course they also need a new, contemporary leader!
The spirit shown by Li Ang in this regard made Terry feel very satisfied.

In the No.80 second minute of the second half, when Li Ang almost carried the defensive interference from Basel's midfielder Dias, he broke into the Basel penalty area and successfully made a point.

Terry's satisfaction turned into a strong impulse!

Terry, who is about to turn 33 years old, is like the young Chelsea players sitting on the bench with him at this moment. After rushing out of the bench, he roared and celebrated passionately!
At this moment, Li Ang, who was beaming with joy, was surrounded by excited teammates, slapped and pulled him up, but quickly hugged the football, and then stuffed it into the arms of the slightly surprised Lampard who had just come off the bench. .

"Li Ang, don't you plan to take a penalty for this ball?"

Lampard was fully prepared before, giving up this opportunity to take a penalty kick, allowing Li Ang to enjoy the cheers of the fans after leading the team to a successful reversal.

He really didn't expect that Li Ang gave up the opportunity to become the focus of the audience very simply.

Li Ang just shook his head with a smile at this moment, and made a joke with Lampard.

"You were the first penalty shooter on the field, Frank, besides, the boss didn't allow us to discuss who will take the penalty kick~ I don't want to be caught by the boss to eat a hair dryer after I leave the field. "

After listening to Li Ang's speech, Lampard also laughed, and patted the back of Li Ang's shoulder. Lampard took firm steps and walked towards the penalty spot with the football in his arms!

Even if he came off the bench in the No.706 minute of the second half, Lampard's confidence in penalty points at this moment is not weak at all.

After the referee blew the whistle, Lampard didn't even look at Sommer's predicted reaction, and resolutely kicked his vigorous volley aimed at the middle of the goal!
Sommer pounced on the left side of the goal this time, and his prediction failed!
And Lampard also used a neat penalty kick to help Chelsea successfully complete the reversal of Basel at home!

The player who completed the reversal goal was Lampard.

But at the moment, the reporters on the scene once again pointed their cameras at Li Ang who was happily celebrating with his teammates.

In this Champions League group match, Li Ang did not gain any personal offensive data.

But his important performance is imprinted in the eyes and hearts of every fan watching the game!

When the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game, there were thunderous cheers and applause throughout Stamford Bridge!

Salah was very disappointed.And when Li Ang took the initiative to find him, the live broadcast camera immediately focused on the best players of the two teams in this Champions League group match.

After teaching another representative star born in the 90s in the future, Li Ang encouraged him as a routine.

Salah, who was still a little frustrated, suddenly became excited again. After exchanging jerseys with Li Ang, the two even hugged and exchanged.

It is still a result worth celebrating for Chelsea players to be able to reverse and win the Champions League this season.

However, before it was Li Ang's turn to speak up in the locker room that night, Terry and Lampard came forward and invited all the players in the team to have a dinner together in the city.

This kind of atmosphere is warm, and it is very helpful for the dinner party between the old and new players in the team. Of course, Mourinho will not control it too much.

All the players from Chelsea's first team participated in the dinner that night, and even Ivanovic and Mikel, who were still recovering from their injuries, were present as scheduled.

Since the start of the new season, Chelsea has also maintained a record of double wins.

For Chelsea's old players, they haven't had such a near-perfect start for several years.

So all the faces of Chelsea players that night were full of smiles.

After the night of celebration passed, the Chelsea players adjusted their mood and state one after another in the afternoon of the second day, and rushed to the Cobham training base to start their recovery training.

It's not that Mourinho doesn't want to give the players more time to rest, but that the current Premier League schedule has become denser.

Three days later, Chelsea will start the fifth round of the Premier League at home with Fulham.

After that, we will play a round of the League Cup.

In the sixth round of the Premier League, Chelsea will go away to challenge Tottenham Hotspur!

Playing two consecutive London derbies and a round of domestic cup matches, Chelsea's first big test of the new season is coming!
