Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 215 Fighting for the top spot in the Champions League, Li Ang and Ibrahimovic went crazy [please subscribe! 】

Mourinho once again helped the young players in the team out in his own way.

When he killed the Quartet in the post-match press conference and almost took all the responsibility for the team's loss on himself.

Naturally, the media are no longer interested in doing magnifying glass observations on a few young players.

Moreover, this defeat is not completely without benefits and gains for Chelsea.

Mourinho is quite satisfied with Van Ginkel's performance as a single midfielder.

But the biggest surprise for Mourinho was not Van Ginkel in this game, but the young defender Karas.

Previously, Mourinho and Chelsea's coaching staff had given priority to renting out Karas, and they also had the same view on Ake.

After all, there are too few young and mature defenders, especially the position of central defender.

Talent is very important, but for a central defender, experience and stability often overwhelm talent.

So for Mourinho, the young Karas and Ake are not yet in his team building plan.

At least the two have to rent out to the English Championship, or a team in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, and hone their skills for a season or two. Only with enough experience can they be reused by him.

When training newcomers at Real Madrid, Nacho is also because he is about to turn 22 years old and has played enough games in Castilla, so he is an immediate combat power.

That's why Mourinho is so happy to give him more opportunities.

Varane can only honestly start from the bench in the team.

If you don't want to be a substitute and want to play more games, then naturally you can only accept a loan.

However, Callas' performance in this round of the league really surprised Mourinho.

So much so that Mourinho's inherent views on young defenders were shaken.

In his first start for Chelsea, the young central defender showed a brighter light than usual training!

His fierce attack, excellent one-on-one ability and flexible body make him and Gary Cahill a very suitable central defender partner.

Looking at it another way, the combination of Karas and Terry should also have very good results.

With David Luiz currently the only attacking central defender in the team, Mourinho is tempted.

Even though he still felt that Callas was very young, he still wanted to add Callas to the normal rotation of Chelsea's first team.

It's just that the timing of this appearance is not very good.

David Luiz's body is very healthy. As his substitute, Callas may only have the chance to start in the early ten games this season.

This is still in the case of Chelsea's four-line battle. If you only look at the league and the Champions League, Karas may not even have a chance to start 5 games.

For Karas's personal development, staying on the team at this stage is definitely not as good as going out to play more games.

So Mourinho has to have a separate conversation with Karas in the follow-up, and listen to the young man's own thoughts.

But no matter what, Mourinho is still in a very good mood after discovering a treasure again.

Nor was he at all ashamed that he had misjudged Callas slightly earlier.

After all, for young players of this type of competition, there are very few head coaches who can see their shining points at a glance.

Besides, when he arrived at Real Madrid at the beginning of the year, he almost sent Li Ang to Real Betis by himself~
It's good to dig out this treasure in time, and it's normal for the process to be a bit bumpy.

Mourinho, who seemed to be in a good mood for several days in a row, also aroused discussions among Chelsea players.

And Li Ang, who watched the last round of the league match against Newcastle, probably guessed Mourinho's thoughts.

When Karas, a young man, was struggling with his performance in the last round of the league, Li Ang let him relax.

Sure enough, before the Champions League group match against Schalke 04, Mourinho and Karas completed a private conversation.

And Callas was selected for Chelsea's 18-man squad for this round of the Champions League group stage, which basically explained the final choice he made.

Seeing Karas, who was having fun all day after talking with Mourinho, Li Ang couldn't help but think of himself who was determined to be rented out under Mourinho's persuasion.

On the path of career development, Karas chose a completely different plan from the original Li Ang.

And Li Ang, who knows that Karas will waste his development in the future, also feels that it may indeed be better for Karas to choose to stay in the team this time.

The 18-man squad released by Mourinho before the game obviously attracted the attention of many fans and the media.

Van Ginkel and Karas, who played the starting role in the last round of the league, once again appeared in Chelsea's 18-man roster in the Champions League, as if to reveal:
"Mourinho will vigorously train these two young players" signal.

Compared with Van Ginkel, who had already been in the limelight before, Callas has obviously become a topic figure that the British media pay more attention to.

All of a sudden, there were more topics discussing the young Czech defender on the Internet.

Instead, the other stars in the Chelsea team had a lot of leisure before the start of the Champions League game.

After completing sufficient preparations, Chelsea sat at Stamford Bridge at home on the night of November 11 and ushered in the challenge of Schalke 6.

With the contest in the last round of the group stage, Schalke 04 and Chelsea have a good understanding of each other's strength.

Therefore, in terms of pre-match preparations, the goals of the two teams are quite clear.

Schalke 04 is very pragmatic and wants to take a point from Chelsea at home.

And Chelsea naturally wanted to go all out and finish the top of the group ahead of schedule.

So at the beginning of today's game, Mourinho directly put on an extremely aggressive 433 starting formation.

And Schalke 04's young coach Keller also suffered a loss in the last round of competition. He adjusted the starting lineup in this round of competition.

First of all, in the midfield, Keller dropped many young players, leaving only Draxler in the starting lineup.

Then let Boateng drop back from the center position and kick the midfielder.

Schalke 04 Xia Chuang introduced high center forward Adam Szaloy from Mainz as the starting center for Schalke 04 in this game.

With a height of 1 meters, Adam Szaloy, who has a good confrontation ability, is enough to serve as a tactical fulcrum in Chelsea's half.

Such a starting arrangement is conducive to Boateng's push-up and Draxler's speed and technical advantages.

To put it bluntly, Keller's game is to plunge into the fence in the backcourt, and use the fulcrum of the big center in the frontcourt to better counterattack.

Stealing chickens, if you can steal one, you can earn one, if you can’t steal one, then let the big Boateng retreat to his own half to strengthen the defense.

When defending set kicks, Adam Sauloy can also play a key role, and he can be said to be comprehensive.

Before the start of the game, Li Ang and Adam Sauloy also greeted each other with a smile and hug.

That's right, they are acquaintances again. Although they have only been teammates in Castilla for about half a year, they have a very good relationship.

They are also very emotional to be able to meet again in the Champions League.

After all, it was agreed back then that they would leave Real Madrid together to venture out.

As a result, Li Ang wanted to go out but failed, and was kept by Mourinho, while Adam Sauloy came directly to the Bundesliga, and was directly bought out by Mainz.

Later, when Li Ang chatted with Shao Luoyi on the phone, if Shao Luoyi could continue to stay in Castilla for half a year, the result might be completely different.

After all, Mourinho came half a year later. Sholoy was 23 years old at that time. He was an immediate combat player and a big center. At least he could get Mourinho's test opportunity.

Not to mention getting too much playing time in Real Madrid, at least you have to go to the first team to feel it. If you stay for two seasons, you will be able to experience the taste of the Triple Crown.

It can only be said that fate has tricked people, and it was only half a year before and after. Li Ang failed to make it, but Shao Luoyi missed Mourinho, who prefers big centers.

Destiny...

After reminiscing about the past, the two of them failed to show any strength on the court.

Within 10 seconds after the official start of the game, the two completed a confrontation near the top of the arc in the center circle of Chelsea's half.

Li Ang failed to compete against Szaloy, but Szaloy's header ferry was also blocked by Lampard.

Chelsea, who got the ball, quickly spread out their formation and launched a siege to Schalke 04!
Chelsea, who sit at home, don't want to play any offensive and defensive balance with Schalke 04 today, but want to suppress strongly from the beginning.

This style of play will naturally give Schalke 04 an opportunity to counterattack.

But Mourinho doesn't care, because Schalke 04's problem of not being efficient enough at the end point still exists.

Huntelaar's injury greatly reduced Schalke 04's offensive threat.

Boateng, who played as a guest center in the last round of the Champions League group match, and Adam Szaloy, who started this round, are both offensive players who are difficult to score in double figures in a single season.

Both of them are good offensively, and have a wide range of tactical uses, but being the core of the offense is a joke.

Therefore, Mourinho was very relieved and directly adopted aggressive offensive tactics.

The card is clear, but I am not optimistic about your finishing ability of Schalke 04.

Keller certainly understood Mourinho's plan, and of course he was very angry.

But under this anger, Keller, who kept his head calm, did not have a tactical backhand that could counter him.

He can only hope that Draxler can explode today and threaten Chelsea's defense more on the counterattack.

Let Chelsea not unscrupulously oppress Schalke 04's defense.

But the vision is always good, but after having enough counterattack opportunities, Draxler was lost in the defensive double-team of Ashley Cole and David Luiz.

Facts have proved that Draxler, who is only 20 years old, has unlimited potential, but his current ability is not enough to make him a breaker for Schalke 04.

Boateng's rampage made Chelsea's defenders suffer first.

But after Terry took the initiative to play, his only room to play was to float outside the penalty area and shoot long shots.

After being bullied by Terry, Boateng also remembered his Milan career with Ibrahimovic protecting him from wind and rain, and Li Ang helping him with the opponent's defense.

It's a pity, those two disloyal people are now running across from him to bully his current teammates!

Ibrahimovic, who has not scored in several games, was very active from the very beginning of the game today.

In the 10th minute of the first half, Ibrahimovic had already swung two shots.

And in the first half No.16 minutes.After receiving a pass from Hazard who tore through the Schalke 04 side defense.

Ibrahimovic forcibly wiped Matip with his back, and then hit a contra-angle stick to the ground with his kick!
For the veteran goalkeeper Hildebrand, asking him to get off the ground quickly now is simply to make things difficult for him.

Ibrahimovic's shot was shot from a tricky angle and a stick to the earth!

Only halfway through Hildebrand's save, the football had already rubbed against the far corner post and rolled straight into the net!

In less than 10 minutes of the opening game, Chelsea had already achieved a 1:0 lead at home!
The cheers at Stamford Bridge soared into the sky, and the Schalke 04 players couldn't help but tremble!
And before Schalke 04's defenders recovered, it was less than 6 minutes after the game restarted.

Li Ang took Ibrahimovic's back in the penalty area and turned the ball back, and shot directly outside the Schalke 04 penalty area, piercing the goal guarded by Hildebrand again!
Keller was really anxious, and stood on the sidelines and kept signaling to his players not to mess up, calm down first, and slow down!

But the Schalke 04 defenders who scored two goals in a short period of time, how can they talk about calmness at this moment?

In the case of further contraction of the formation, Schalke 04's defense has not been more consolidated.

After all, people are confused.

Some defenders here will try to make up for the lack of quality of their defensive line with more aggressive running.

And some defensive players were even more distraught, wondering whether they should play according to the tactics arranged by the head coach before the game.

So under their seemingly thick two-layer defense, they are full of loopholes in the defense that can be exploited by Chelsea's offensive players.

In the 307th minute of the commuting field, Li Ang and De Bruyne completed the cross-change and dribbled the ball to the side.

At the moment when he was about to cut in, he suddenly knocked the ball and changed direction, and exploded and accelerated to break through Schalke 04's right back Ogo!

Li Ang, who played a confident dribbling in the battle against Manchester City, once again used his dribbling and explosive speed to stage a wonderful performance at Stamford Bridge!
At present, Li Ang has reached a dribbling ability value of 82, which is enough to give him the upper hand when facing defensive players in the middle and lower reaches of the four major leagues.

Ao Ge obviously did not expect that Li Ang would choose to pass him so decisively!
When he turned around to chase after him, he could only get Li Ang's exhaust gas!

He cut directly into the Schalke 04 penalty area quickly, and watched Matip pounce on him, Li Ang chose the inverted triangle to pass back close to the ground!

Ibrahimovic, who reached the right position tacitly with his long legs, almost didn't need to adjust, and he shot directly with his feet very comfortably!
Hildebrand, whose sight was disturbed, was pierced through the goal for the third time in the first half before he could clearly see the angle of Ibrahimovic's shot!
The mentality of the old German goalkeeper burst directly!
Schalke 04's young coach Keller is not in a hurry to get angry now.

He just stood on the sidelines in a daze, with his waist down, looking at the Chelsea players who were cheering heartily on the pitch with a dazed look.

And Mourinho, who was next door to him, seemed to have had enough celebrations, and now he just hugged assistant coach Holland with a calm expression, and kept smiling and applauding.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored twice before halftime, was grinning from ear to ear while celebrating at the corner flag.

After completing the pass, Li Ang threw himself directly on Ibrahimovic's back, waving his arms to stir up the emotions of the Chelsea fans on the scene!
The "Milan Brothers" combination went crazy at Stamford Bridge today!
