Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 291 Little Lion, are you serious about competing for the Golden Boot? ! [Big guys please subscribe! 】

"You have to fight for it! Do you feel any pressure? Do you feel tired after the rotation this season?"

Facing Li Ang's inquiry, other Chelsea players on the training ground shook their heads.

Not to mention the veterans in the team are being taken care of this season. Most of the main players in the first team have not played two consecutive games in three days since the beginning of the season.

Only Li Ang was the animal that Mourinho caught and took advantage of, but even so, Li Ang had much more rest time at the beginning of the season than last season.

In general, the rotation plan formulated by Chelsea's coaching staff this season should be more reasonable and scientific.

Playing time for players who are already prone to injuries is strictly controlled.

Veterans basically play two games and take one off.

The playing time of players in the substitute echelon has increased compared with last season, so the main players have more physical fitness and energy to fight tough battles.

As for the record, it is easier for Chelsea to win consecutive games.

In this case, there is no physical crisis or injury, and the players in the Chelsea team naturally have greater ambitions for the record.

However, everyone had tacitly understood each other before and played each game step by step. No one took the lead in shouting any exaggerated target slogans.

It is true that this way of playing is very practical and will not put too much psychological pressure on Chelsea's players and even coaches.

But now, when Li Ang was the first to shout the "flag" slogan of striving for an undefeated season and winning four championships.

Along with the pressure comes the infinite hunger for honor and the motivation to pursue it!
“Without pressure, how can we unleash our greater potential?
Every year, the strongest teams are born in European football. Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Bayern... These three clubs have become the most powerful teams that represent Europe's top forces in the past five seasons.

But if we extend the timeline to ten years ago, Chelsea will never be missing in this top team that has been unanimously recognized by all media and fans!
It was at that time that I fell in love with the Iron-Blooded Blues. To this day, the vitality and perseverance that Chelsea burst out at that time are still before my eyes!
Ten years later, I, we!When we get together, we will never be inactive. We will always make up for the regrets left by the Blue Army with our own hands.

For Didier, for John, for Frank, for Peter, for Zlatan... and more for our own honor!

Set this goal, let's move forward together, with the regrets and expectations of all Chelsea fans, this time, we must stand on top of Europe! "

Li Ang delivered an exciting personal speech directly on the field after training.

That good guy, his words made all the old boys in the Chelsea team excited.

The young Chelsea players even screamed and cast admiring glances at Li Ang.

Li Ang firmly believed that he was right at this moment. He once again opened the eyes of all his teammates and inspired their motivation.

If chicken soup has no effect, it must be that you drink it at the wrong time, or you drink too little.

Anyway, Li Ang felt that he had delivered this speech at the right time and had enough chicken soup.

He is not afraid that this group of frustrated old boys in the team will not be ready to make a move and echo his slogan suggestions.

Mourinho, who had been standing aside and eavesdropping, felt that Li Ang's speech was also very good.

But seeing that the young players in the team were stimulated by Li Ang, they became increasingly ambitious.

Lao Mu still chose to take action. After kicking Li Ang away, he quickly told the remaining players to do what they were supposed to do.

It has to be said that Mourinho's prestige within the Chelsea team is still quite high.

Seeing Li Ang covering his buttocks and running away, the remaining young Chelsea players immediately stopped thinking and their eyes suddenly became clear.

This communication within the team had a passionate process and an extremely happy ending.

But no matter what, the slogans shouted by Li Ang and the content of his speech have deeply affected every member of the Chelsea team.

Not just the players, but the coaches.

Even Mourinho.

After all, before Li Ang shouted such an arrogant slogan, Mourinho had never thought about winning four championships in one season by winning the championship undefeated!

Let alone shouting such slogans, just having such an idea is arrogant enough.

However, the dream of achieving this goal is indeed attractive enough!
Mourinho ultimately did not reveal his true attitude towards Li Ang's slogan to his assistants.

But in the internal tactical meetings of the coaching team, he was indeed more serious and strict than before.

With the whole Chelsea team preparing for training with high morale, the Black Cats Sunderland became the first unlucky guy to be beaten.

On the evening of November 11th, Chelsea visited the Stadium of Light to challenge Sunderland away from home.

Facing Sunderland, the "draw king" in the league, whose strength is only slightly above the relegation zone, Chelsea can be said to be a lion and a rabbit today, and they directly went to the cannon to fight mosquitoes.

Sunderland head coach Poyet felt numb immediately after receiving Chelsea's starting 11-man list an hour before the game.

What does it mean?Didn't you rotate the Chelsea lineup quite happily before?
Even if you dare to rotate when you play against Manchester United, how come today when you play against our little relegation team, all the main players come out? !

On the other hand, Chelsea, who played all their main players today, did have enough respect for Sunderland, but Sunderland fans were in tears.

"Who the hell wants your respect! Hurry up and despise us and send out your rotation, you bastards!"

Unfortunately, Mourinho could not hear the sincere appeal of Sunderland fans.

Chelsea's main players on the field pushed past the midfield line from the beginning of the game, taking over control of the midfield and constantly putting pressure on the Sunderland defense.

Cross, who started today, no longer delayed, and directly pressed to the top area of ​​the center circle in Sunderland's half with Li Ang.

He blocked Sunderland's gate to organize the attack. From time to time, Li Ang would sneak into Sunderland's penalty area to play and then jump in to grab points!

Sunderland head coach Poyet looked anxious from the sidelines!
He constantly signaled his disciples to expand the defensive zone and actively fight to push Chelsea back to the midline area.

But it's a good idea. Sunderland's midfielders couldn't help rolling their eyes after hearing the coach's tactical instructions.

Yes, they have a numerical advantage in the midfield area. After all, they played 451 today.

But what is the configuration of Chelsea's three midfielders?What is the configuration and personal ability of our side? Do you have any confidence in being the head coach?

Then you have to be able to grab it.

Kroos in the Chelsea team is like a robot. He has never made a mistake when passing the ball.

Li Ang retreated to take the ball and spin it in circles, which could stun the three people grabbing the ball!

Mobilize more midfield forces to press, yes, Kroos knocked back, and Matic followed up with a long diagonal pass.

Now, Hazard or De Bruyne directly takes the ball and penetrates deep into Sunderland's defense!
Double team?At this time, he was double-teamed by Hammer!The five midfielders are all rushing to grab the ball. No matter how fast you run, someone's parent can pass the ball faster!

Expect the full-backs to successfully intercept one-on-one every time and stop Chelsea's attack?

It's better to pray that Hazard and De Bruyne will suffer a big decline today.

It is impossible to play for Sunderland if you can now defeat Chelsea's defenders on both wings one-on-one on the defensive end.

Poyet was still discerning after all. When he saw that his team was frequently beaten from behind by Chelsea after taking the initiative to press, he decisively shut his mouth.

"Okay, then it's better to let Chelsea block the attack at home, and we further shrink the defense line. It should have an effect... right?"

Boyet made up his mind, it was just a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils.

It is easy for Sunderland to shrink its formation, but it is difficult to start a counterattack!
Playing in this kind of bus formation is a completely familiar process for Chelsea.

Hazard and De Bruyne began to move further inward, and their active areas were mostly on both sides of Sunderland's half.

They directly gave up the space on the two wings and handed it over to Bertrand and Azpilicueta who inserted in behind.

In this way, plus Leon and Kroos pressing forward, Chelsea will have at least seven players in Sunderland's half controlling the ball in series to participate in the attack!
From the wings to the midfield, to the center of the midfield, Chelsea's offensive players can be seen in every threatening area.

Faced with Chelsea's fast and precise conduction and pull, Sunderland's midfield defense deployment could not be perfectly coordinated.

At the 19th minute of the first half, Cross received De Bruyne's return pass and made a precise pass to the side, once again shifting the attack direction to the left.

But this time, Hazard, who was supposed to help Bertrand move forward in the rib area, took the initiative to run to the left wing, seemingly trying to get the ball.

But the moment he and Bertrand completed the handover of the ball, he suddenly pushed the ball straight towards the rib area of ​​Sunderland's right half where the space was wide open at the moment!

The person who responded to his pass was Li Ang, who was wandering in the middle just now and moved to this side without knowing when!

Li Ang caught the ball and penetrated into the heart of Sunderland's defense, immediately causing Sunderland's defense to jump up and down.

Sunderland right back Belhini and right center back O'Shea immediately double-teamed Li Ang to defend, giving midfielder Catmull time to return to defense.

But Li Ang did not remain stubborn and continued to drive hard into the Sunderland penalty area.

He skillfully pushed the ball to his left front.

And Bertrand, who had previously handed over the ball to Hazard, took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation. At this time, he comfortably took the ball and cut inside, reaching the bottom line of Sunderland's penalty area!

Li Ang's side attracted the defense of two defenders. After a brief observation, Bertrand directly swept the ball to the back of Sunderland's penalty area!
Ibrahimovic shouldered Wes Brown's marking and took advantage of his long legs to poke the football first!

But Sunderland goalkeeper Pantilimon also quickly got down to the ground and narrowly blocked Ibrahimovic's kick with his toes!
The football flew crookedly towards the right side of the Sunderland penalty area.

And Li Ang's reaction speed helped him complete the follow-up shot at this moment!

O'Shea's leg extension seemed clumsy and delayed in front of Li Ang's quick volley.

Pantilimon just got up from the turf at this moment. Facing Li Ang's volley, he could only watch helplessly as the football crossed the line and entered the net!
1-0, before the 20th minute of the first half, Sunderland's goal was declared lost!
Poyet stood on the sidelines looking completely messy in the wind.

At this moment, the commentator of Sky Sports shouted at the top of his voice that Li Ang's feet felt hot and he had gone completely crazy on the offensive end!
There is no way. After Li Ang surpassed Cavani to top the Premier League scorer list, everyone thought that Li Ang was improving quickly this season, but that's basically it.

It's impossible for a midfielder like you to really compete with a striker for the top scorer's golden boot, right?
As a result, now that several rounds of the Premier League have passed, Li Ang is still at the top of the scorer list, and his scoring efficiency is so stable that it is simply ridiculous!

With this goal, Li Ang has scored [-] goals in [-] league rounds!

And this game is far from over. Li Ang is likely to continue to increase his goals per game to the terrible number of "1".

On the contrary, Cavani doesn't know whether it is his mentality that has been affected or problems with his recent performance. He has failed to score in three consecutive league games. His current number of goals is still at ten.

We really need to follow the current performance trend until the end of the league.

Then it is really possible for Li Ang to compete with all the forwards in the Premier League for the Golden Boot as a midfielder this season!
Li Ang, who did not deliberately record his own goals or compare his goals with Cavani, was simply enjoying the joy of helping his team score the first goal at this moment.

Once the goal was scored, Sunderland's shrinking tactics naturally became meaningless.

Unless they are really determined to be cowards in front of more than 4 fans at home.

But in that case, the morale of Sunderland's main players would be too serious.

Poyet's coaching level is far from the top in football, but he also understands what tactics to use when.

If he really dares to continue to set up the bus even though he is behind at home today, he may be directly fired by Sunderland's management before the end of the league.

Whether it's for the position under his butt, or to defend the dignity of Sunderland's home court.

Poyet finally chose to let his disciples set up their formation and take the initiative to have a try with Chelsea.

As a result, this collision caused Sunderland to suffer another heavy blow in the 306th minute of the first half.

De Bruyne received a through ball from Kroos and counterattacked.

Li Ang's forward movement distracted the Sunderland defense's defensive attention.

Ibrahimovic finally overwhelmed O'Shea at the back point and headed De Bruyne's cross into the Sunderland goal!

In the end, with a 2-0 advantage, all Chelsea players entered the second half in a happy mood.

Sunderland, who was lagging behind and anxious, made more and more defensive moves after the start of the second half.

Kroos and Liang were both keenly aware of the restlessness and instability of Sunderland's defense, so they gave more of the ball to Hazard.

And Hazard lived up to expectations. In the 604th minute of the second half, he used a series of strong breakthroughs to make Sunderland right back Berhini's mentality explode.

In the end, Bersini brought down Hazard with an obvious pull in the penalty area.

He was lucky and didn't get a red card, but this penalty basically sentenced Sunderland to death!

Li Ang didn't give in any more this time.

He confidently turned the ball and stood on the penalty spot, and then he scored with a blast!
Pantilimon threw himself in the wrong direction, thumping on the turf and roaring in annoyance.

And Li Ang had already called on his teammates to rush to the corner flag area of ​​Sunderland's half, and then they had a group kneel-down celebration!

The Sky Sports commentator looked at Li Ang who was so high-spirited at this moment and couldn't help but cheered excitedly:
"The 13th goal in the league! Chelsea's Lion King doesn't just want to be the top scorer for a while. He is serious about striving for the Premier League Golden Boot this season!"
