Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 292 It's reached the hot spot on the hot sp Spot again

Li Ang played for a full 10 minutes against Sunderland, and Mourinho gave him enough time to score a hat-trick.

But Li Ang ultimately failed to score his third goal in the game.

There is no way, in the remaining 10 minutes of the game.

Sunderland's defensive players would rather expose obvious defensive holes and allow Ibrahimovic to easily score than become the backdrop for Li Ang's hat trick.

However, Li Ang was not upset. Being able to score two goals in this game had already exceeded his pre-match expectations.

If a hat trick was really that easy to achieve, there wouldn't be many powerful forwards who might not even be able to score one in a single season.

After the 3-0 victory over Sunderland, no one at Chelsea had sufficient rest time.

Because on December 12th, they will sit at home to face the challenge from their city rival Tottenham Hotspur.

In the past 13th round of the Premier League, Tottenham just defeated Everton 2-1 and won two consecutive league victories.

In the 12th round of the league, they also defeated their opponent Hull City in the 90th minute.

Having struggled to win every game, Tottenham's recent performance is definitely not very good, at least not a stable win.

Although they are in hot form for the final game, Chelsea's players and coaches also have absolute confidence that they will not delay the game until the last moment to decide the outcome.

Relying on the key wins in the past two games, Tottenham currently has 6 points with a record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 22 losses, surpassing Arsenal and West Ham United and reaching the fourth position in the Premier League.

It can be said that after Pochettino took charge of Tottenham, at least in the first half of the new season, he delivered a very good league result.

Coupled with the fact that Tottenham now ranks first in the Europa League group stage, Tottenham fans are [-]% satisfied with Pochettino.

Mourinho already knows Pochettino very well. After all, he played against Pochettino in La Liga before returning to the Premier League.

As for Pochettino's coaching level, Mourinho's evaluation has always been high.

Lao Mu still gave full respect to this outstanding young man in the coaching world.

After returning to the Cobham training base, the entire Chelsea team spent three days of intense preparation.

On the evening of December 12rd, amid the cheers of more than 3 Blues fans at home, Chelsea players stepped onto the Stamford Bridge stadium to start their warm-up.

Li Ang and Eriksen nodded to each other on the court, and they were considered old friends.

However, in today's game, the Tottenham player that Li Ang is most concerned about is not Eriksen, but Harry Kane who is warming up in the other half of the area at the moment. He does not look strong and looks a bit tall and thin. .

After performing well for Tottenham last season, Kane was no flash in the pan.

In the new season, under the coaching of new head coach Pochettino, he has already given data of 13 goals and 7 assists in 2 league rounds.

As a 22-year-old young center who was a substitute for Tottenham last season, Kane's progress this season has attracted the attention of countless fans and media.

However, Li Ang clearly understands that Kane's sudden burst and continuous improvement this season are largely due to his accumulation in the early stages of his career.

His previous loan spells in the English Championship gave him a wealth of experience.

The gradual gaining of playing time at Tottenham in the previous two seasons also allowed him to avoid prematurely engaging in a lot of physical battles with Premier League defenders.

If young players want to establish themselves in the Premier League, they should still play the position of center, excluding those who are physically talented and tough.

Growth forwards are really not suitable to become the team's main force too early and be played in a lot of games.

Today, Kane has passed the physical development period relatively "safely", with complete skills and solid shooting skills.

He can continue to gain weight to further strengthen his physical resistance.

For Kane, it is perfect to become Tottenham's main center at the age of 22 and get a lot of opportunities to play in the top league.

Serving as a substitute in Tottenham's first team for two consecutive seasons gave him a good adaptation period to the rhythm of the Premier League.

He performed well in the second half of last season and proved his ability to serve as Tottenham's main center, which gave him another good public opinion environment.

If he plays the main role too early, he will only continue to get lost in the powerful stranglehold of the Premier League defenders.

It would be a pity that his talent would have been wasted if he had started a season or two later.

So this season is just right, he is not too old and not too young, and his explosion is just right.

At least in Pochettino's mind, he is already the cornerstone of the new Tottenham team.

"Harry, the boy with the same name as you opposite is difficult to deal with. Are you sure you can take him down today?"

When the warm-up was over, Li Ang patted Maguire's broad shoulder and motioned him to look at Harry Kane in Tottenham's formation.

Maguire smiled shyly, but his tone in response to Li Ang was very confident.

"Don't worry, boss! He won't get the chance to enter our penalty area head-on. I will definitely knock him down at the most suitable position!"

Maguire patted his chest and acted like you can teach me without any worries.

But when Li Ang heard his answer, the image of him directly pulling Kane to the ground appeared in his mind.

There was no way, other defenders told Li Ang that he would knock down his opponent. Li Ang must have thought that he would use his feet to stop the opponent's attack.

But Maguire has too many additional actions on his hands during defense.

The referee who officiated the match between them and Tottenham today happened to be "Blind Monk" Clattenburg again.

It would be okay if this heavyweight referee gave Chelsea the home whistle.

I'm afraid that he will suddenly get sick and make a big move to confront Maguire. Maybe he will directly give Maguire a yellow card in the first half!

Thinking of this, Li Ang also quickly signaled Maguire to look at his face and act accordingly.

After returning to the locker room, all Chelsea players listened to Mourinho's final tactical suggestions and completed their final mobilization.

Terry once again expressed his excitement that he must kill Tottenham.

The language is a bit vulgar, but other Chelsea players, including Li Ang, are also used to it.

Generally speaking, the Premier League teams in the London area basically have their own mortal enemies.

But it's really rare for Tottenham to be beaten to death by basically every London team they meet.

Apart from being a little unsure about the referee's penalty today, Li Ang was not too worried about winning against Tottenham.

Firstly, it's because Chelsea's current winning rate against Tottenham is simply ridiculously high, and the team has an absolute psychological advantage.

Secondly, of course it is because the current wave of Tottenham has not yet formed a complete body.

Ali was still accumulating game experience at his home team in League One and was not poached by Tottenham.

After Kyle Walker was reimbursed last season, he underwent abdominal surgery in September this year and is still recovering from his injury.

Son Heung-min has nothing to do with the current Tottenham Hotspur.Li Ang actually doesn't know whether Son Heung-min will choose to transfer to Tottenham in next summer window after having his own butterfly effect.

Overall, there are actually only two and a half threatening players in this Tottenham team.

One is Harry Kane, one is Eriksen, and the remaining half is Lamela.

As for Lennon, the remnant of Tottenham in the same era as Bell, his breakthrough ability has declined too seriously.

After the game officially started that night, Li Ang also started pressing defense directly to limit Eriksen's performance.

Of course, in addition to giving his old friend a "surprise" right from the start, Li Ang also wanted to test the blind monk Clattenburg's whistle today.

After forcing back Eriksen's ball in the rib area twice, Li Ang saw that Clattenburg didn't seem to want to blow the whistle, so he made a relieved gesture to Maguire.

Next, Chelsea's overall confrontation intensity also increased a notch, and they disrupted Tottenham's offensive rhythm directly in the midfield.

After Moussa Dembélé was injured at the beginning of the season, Tottenham's midfield obviously lacked an outlet that could hold the ball and stabilize the organization.

The double defensive midfield combination of Bentaleb and Ryan Mason is just barely enough for Spurs who are fighting for the top four.

When Dembele returns from injury, the double midfielder combination formed by him and Dier will give Tottenham the strength to compete head-on with top teams.

Now, Tottenham, whose midfield strength has declined significantly, is not qualified to challenge Chelsea in the midfield.

At least Li Ang got the ball and jumped in. He didn't feel the defensive intensity he should have in Tottenham's defensive third zone.

Li Ang didn't have much of an impression. The young and tall defensive midfielder named Bentaleb was almost knocked to the ground by Li Ang's advancement during an interception!
It made Li Ang doubt whether he had really committed a foul.

Fortunately, the referee Clattenberg used his firm eyes to convince Li Ang that he did not commit a foul.

Tens of thousands of Chelsea fans at the scene also began to applaud Clattenburg's "correct" penalty.

Of course, in the eyes of Tottenham fans, whether Clattenburg is a wise warrior or a blind monk has to be discussed separately.

Pochettino brought more technical changes to Tottenham after taking office.

If it can be said that Villas-Boas's previous coaching was laying the foundation for further tactical reforms at Tottenham.

Now Pochettino is the most correct person to deepen this change of course and completely shape Tottenham's technical style of play.

His approach is correct and in line with the future technical and tactical development trends of European football.

But before the lineup was completely transformed, Tottenham's technical players had not yet become "all-round" on their own ahead of his tactics.

In the future, the technical players in the strong teams in the Premier League will either have both confrontational ability and technology.

Either he has a lot of endurance talent and cannot be beaten head-on, but at least there won't be too much risk of injury.

The current midfield four in Chelsea almost perfectly meet this condition.

Li Ang and Matic can both attack and fight.

Kroos and De Bruyne are weaker than them in confrontational ability, but they are also above the average level of football midfielders, and they are both durable.

So let’s not say that Lao Mu always adopts a hard-hitting strategy against Tottenham.

The characteristics of the players are obvious. Chelsea has a confrontational advantage. If they don't take advantage of it, is it possible that they will use their own shortcomings to attack each other's strengths?
This is the same as when Mourinho led Inter Milan and Real Madrid to fight against the flourishing Barcelona.

Everyone knows that to deal with Barcelona, ​​they need to accumulate heavy troops in the midfield, limit Messi's performance, and counterattack high balls.

What you are playing is the pain points of the opponent's lineup and player abilities. The so-called tactical game is the same as the basic principle.

At the Stamford Bridge at this moment, Eriksen and Lamela are faced with the dilemma of being unable to compete with Chelsea's midfielder on both technical and confrontational levels.

Manchester United can pull back and pull back, but in the confrontation, Fellaini can pull out to compete with Chelsea, and there are Herrera and Rooney who retreat to act as midfielders to show their skills.

Eriksen's ability is not bad. If you pair him with bodyguards, he can also play a role in Tottenham's offensive organization on the wing and in the middle.

But now Pochettino just doesn't have such a suitable bodyguard role.

Bentaleb was almost bullied into tears by Li Ang's unscrupulous breakthrough.

Eriksen also had to retreat many times to help Bentaleb, who was supposed to wipe his ass.

Lamela performed even worse, and the most suitable position for him is actually on the wing.

But now that Dembele is injured and Dier needs to rest to adjust his condition, Pochettino can only put him in the middle.

As a result, good guy, he met a referee who encouraged both sides to increase the intensity of the confrontation. His opponent was still Matic, and this was a kick in the balls!

Lamela really couldn't defeat Ma Ma, and couldn't save his face, so he used the fierceness of a South American player to try some small tricks.

As a result, he had just attacked Matic, and within 2 minutes, he was elbowed by Li Ang during a fight for the ball!

Lamela, who was almost out of breath, suddenly woke up the moment she lay down.

Chelsea is still in trouble!

There were many scenes of Li Ang clashing with leading players from other teams in the Premier League last season.

This guy is really good at what he does, and he is quite favored by the Football Association now, so he won't get banned for this kind of thing...

Lamela is a smart player. After lying on the ground for a long time to catch his breath, and looking at Li Ang who smiled and extended his hand to him, he finally had no choice but to reconcile.

After getting up and seeing the eager eyes of Matic, Terry and the surrounding Ibrahimovic, the remaining resentment in Lamela's heart quickly dissipated.

The midfield lost control, and Harry Kane in front could not receive much passing support, and even had to retreat from time to time to receive the ball.

However, Tottenham's current staffing cannot effectively shrink the half-time and switch to counterattack.

Because I can’t stand it at all.

The midfielder formed an offensive combination of Eriksen + Lamela + Lennon, and the pressing level could not put too much pressure on the Chelsea midfielder.

One of the two defensive midfielders was exploded by Li Ang, and the other was short in stature and could not shoulder the heavy task of blocking Chelsea's offensive.

If you can't defend, you can't defend, but if you insist on attacking, it won't be effective.

After a lot of tossing, Tottenham finally failed to survive even half an hour in the first half before Chelsea scored.

After receiving the ball from Li Ang, De Bruyne, who scored with a low shot from the right side of Tottenham's penalty area, celebrated with a fist pump.

Li Ang couldn't help but cover his face and laugh.

Ding Ding's low shot was from a very tricky angle and was played very beautifully, but the level of celebration was just too high.

But the flaws were not concealed. More than 4 Chelsea fans and the players on the field cheered and celebrated this wonderful goal!

And among the various cheers and slogans, one voice became more unified and louder!
"Fuck Tottenham to death! We **** are going to kill Tottenham!"
