Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 317: Single-handedly?No, this is a team win!
The large stands of the Juventus Arena were silent at this moment. Only the stand area where thousands of Chelsea away fans gathered were celebrating wildly.

Pogba was pulled from the turf by Evra.

Watching the superstar he admired and liked score a goal from close range, Pogba felt uncomfortable.

Because this time he became the backdrop for Li Ang's goal, and he did not leave any impression on Li Ang in this head-to-head contest with Li Ang.

At least he thought so.

He does have the capital to be proud of, whether it is technical or physical fitness, he has talents in both areas that other midfielders dream of.

But now he was hit hard by Li Ang.

This feeling of being incomparable makes Pogba very frustrated.

Pirlo saw the frustrated expression on Pogba's face and sighed inconspicuously.

When Li Ang came to Milan, the talent he showed was completely incomparable to Pogba's current talent.

But at that time, Li Ang was not frustrated by this. Instead, he energetically learned from all the seniors in the team every day.

In Serie A, at that time, Li Ang was only labeled as a promising defensive player.

It's not like he can handle every offensive opponent on his own.

But when he failed, Li Ang never had such a frustrated expression on his face.

He would either go up to fight with his opponent again, or simply ask for help from his teammates.

In terms of mentality and ability to withstand psychological pressure, Li Ang has always been the strongest among the younger generation players that Pirlo has seen.

Originally, he felt that Pogba might catch up with Li Ang's achievements and abilities in the future.

After all, God has given Pogba all-round talents in both technical and physical aspects.

Pogba's current training can be regarded as hard work. As long as he remains aggressive, his future is also unlimited.

But now Pirlo has completely given up such thoughts.

The mentality gap between the two seems to be too big now.

Without Li Ang's strong psychological ability, Pogba will never be able to become a true offensive and defensive core in a team.

Pirlo feels deeply sorry for this.

Of course, this regret did not last long.

Pogba is a Frenchman after all and he will not play for Italy.

Besides, in terms of the effort put into teaching, Pirlo felt that he should be more attentive to Li Ang's teaching.

Pirlo is completely satisfied to be able to teach Li Ang.

Pogba is okay, even if he can't be a core player, he will still be qualified to be a puzzle piece for a wealthy club in the future.

Pirlo felt that it was better not to be too greedy. Looking at Li Ang now, he was already proud enough.

Even if what Li Ang scored at this moment was his team's goal...

After retracting his eyes comparing Liang and Pogba, Pirlo regained his calm look on his face.

He smoothed his long hair, and then reminded his teammates that the game was not over yet, and they still needed to regain their energy to continue competing with Chelsea!

Li Ang had already calmed down by now.

After raising his arms and yelling at the Chelsea fans in the stands, he trotted back to the half-court amid the smiles and slaps of his teammates.

Mourinho waited on the sidelines and extended his palm, and Li Ang smiled and high-fived his boss in celebration.

Terry waited at the end, gave Li Ang a big hug, patted Li Ang on the head, and kept saying something in his ear.

Commentators from various countries watched this scene and lamented the unity within the Chelsea team.

This is what Chelsea fans are most proud of right now.

The game restarted soon, and the Chelsea team seemed to be more vigorous in holding on to the half-time, resolutely fighting Juventus's defense.

This kind of match scene gives Juventus fans a huge headache.

Allegri sat on the coaching bench, looking calm on the surface, but there were already waves in his heart.

He now understands Guardiola's mood every time he faces Chelsea.

They are not very worried about Mourinho's tactical design and tactical backup.

Because they have corresponding tactical records, even if the countermeasures are not particularly effective, at least they have such a plan.

Lack of on-the-spot adjustments will not make their team completely passive.

But the presence of Li Ang will always make the situation on the court suddenly unbalanced at a certain period of time and completely fall into Chelsea's rhythm.

Li Ang seems to have some kind of magic power to restrain strong teams.

When Chelsea usually plays as an underdog, Li Ang's performance is good, but it is the kind of performance that fans expect.

He only plays in strong teams. Ever since he was at Real Madrid, Li Ang's attributes as the nemesis of strong teams have been extremely unparalleled!

And the stronger the opponent, the more violent his performance will be, without any scientific logic at all!

When you play against Barcelona, ​​he can resolve the battle with two headbutts like a god descending from the earth. When you play against Manchester City, he can give you two world-wide hits in a row!
Today against Juventus, Li Ang directly broke the balance of the game with his incredible return to defense, single steal and on-the-spot counterattack...

Uncle Ji felt a little numb.

He didn't even think about it now. It was obviously his own perfect counterattack threat, but how could it become Chelsea's chance to break the game in the end? !

Shouldn't such a metaphysical scene appear in his team?
Difficult to stretch!

It’s really hard to stretch!
"How about we increase our attack?"

The assistant's voice came again. Allegri rubbed his temples, but still chose to postpone adjustments.

I didn't adjust before because the situation and the rhythm of the game were fine.

The reason for not adjusting now is because the balance of the game has been broken. Allegri believes that the team needs to firm up its tactical thinking and stabilize the situation.

Well, this is the way my uncle's brain works. Regardless of whether outsiders think it is reasonable or not, he himself thinks the tactics are reasonable, so that's fine!

So soon, the Juventus players on the court received tactical instructions to continue to stick to the backcourt and not give Chelsea a second chance to score.

Vidal and Pogba were a few players a little anxious, but Pirlo had long been accustomed to Allegri's tactical ideas.

Several veterans in the team were holding down the pressure, and even if Pogba and the others didn't like this conservative style of play, they could only hold back their emotions.

When Mourinho saw that Allegri had not made any major tactical adjustments, he directly signaled Li Ang and Kroos to try to control the ball on the court.

Playing away in the Champions League, 1-0 is a very comfortable score.

Anyway, Mourinho is completely acceptable. If Allegri is willing to cooperate, the game will end with this score, and he has no objection at all.Many Juventus fans are still waiting to see their team launch a massive counterattack.

As a result, almost three minutes passed after the game restarted, but what they saw was still a "peaceful" situation in which the players on the two teams stared at each other and controlled the ball without attacking.

Milan fans are very familiar with this scene, but many neutral fans don't know.

Suddenly, on major sports live broadcasts and sports forums, Milan's old fans explained Allegri's unique tactical ideas to neutral fans who didn't understand.

You don't need to win by a lot to win, 1-0 is enough. There is no need to worry if you are behind. XJB will play first, and then the high center forward will attack at the last moment.

If the game is played in two rounds, the fans will have to calm down even more.

Because losing in the first round is not a big deal at all for Allegri's team.

As long as they don't lose enough, such as a small 0-1 loss in the first round, Allegri can just wait until the second round and then formulate offensive tactics to come back.

Don't ask, ask just to be sure.

Even if you lose the ball, you must first strengthen your defense. If you are unstable, you will be troubled!
After the game entered the easing phase, Chelsea and Juventus really seemed to have forgotten that they could still attack.

In this way, the score of 1-0 was maintained and they were wary of each other and entered the halftime period.

For neutral fans, this pace of the game is complete torture.

They came to watch the focus of the Champions League today to watch the offense and watch the hegemons of the Premier League and Serie A stab each other with knives!
If the purpose is to watch the defensive competition, then why do they need to wait until today to watch this game?

Wouldn’t it be nice to watch more Serie A games on a daily basis?
Perhaps the second half of the game can also give neutral fans a lot of expectations.

Therefore, at the end of the intermission period and the beginning of the second half of the game, the ratings of this Champions League battle had not plummeted.

But after nearly 10 minutes of play in the second half, the two teams still stood still, seemingly acquiescing to the 1-0 score.

Many neutral fans said they were fooled and turned around to watch the match between Atletico Madrid and Arsenal next door.

Although Atletico Madrid is also using defensive tactics to break up the rhythm of the game, at least Arsenal is still attacking!
Moreover, Atletico Madrid's counterattack is also very sharp. Generally speaking, playing with Arsenal is back-and-forth, which is better than playing "tacit understanding" here.

Neither Allegri nor Mourinho are the kind of coaches who value game ratings and external evaluations.

Anyway, if Juventus doesn't take the initiative to attack today, Chelsea will never press out to give Juventus a chance to equalize the score!
It highlights conservatism and stability.

However, Juventus, or Allegri, failed to stabilize to the end.

No. 60 minutes into the second half of the game, Juventus' offensive attempt still came.

Although Llorente was still sitting on the bench at this moment, Liang looked at Juventus who were slowly pressing forward to test the attack, and still signaled to his captain immediately:
"Be careful with Juventus' header!"

Terry nodded cautiously to Li Ang, indicating that he understood.

Morata is exactly the same as Lukaku to a certain extent.

Their center skills are not comprehensive enough, but they all have their own outstanding advantages.

Lukaku is very good at one-on-one blasting after pulling wide, while Morata is very good at grabbing headers in the penalty area.

Therefore, when Li Ang plays with them, one will give early balls to the wing and the other will give high-altitude balls.

As long as they change their characteristics to feed the ball, Lukaku and Morata will instantly change from the stars of tomorrow on the court to crouching dragons and phoenixes.

This is absolutely no joke.

Although Lukaku does look more like a black and tough guy who is good at catching high-altitude balls, Morata also looks more like a technical player who is good at ground shooting...

Juventus has introduced Morata, so it will naturally develop offensive tactics for him based on his characteristics.

Sure enough, after pressing forward to test the offense, Juventus soon launched frequent lob passes.

Morata's running position is very good, his sprinting speed is fast, and he is also very accurate in the placement of high-altitude balls.

Juventus was hitting high-altitude balls at this moment, and they did not expect Morata to directly withstand Terry's defensive pressure and forcefully equalize the score.

Instead, he hopes to use enough high-altitude ball opportunities for Morata to fight for as many points as possible.

Whether Morata directly attacks the goal or flies the ball with a header, allowing Tevez who is ambushing behind him to get a chance to shoot, it can be regarded as the success of Juventus' offensive tactics.

Unfortunately, with Li Ang, the big brother who is most familiar with Morata, Chelsea's defenders were mentally prepared early on.

Morata's movement is good, but at the final moment when he needs to forcefully grab a point, Terry becomes a defensive mountain in front of him that is almost impossible to cross!
Speaking of physical fitness, Morata is actually not bad now.

But in front of the former world's number one heavy guard, his confrontational strength is still not enough.

After being suppressed by Terry for three consecutive times and unable to grab a point, Morata's own confidence was somewhat lacking.

Upon seeing this, Allegri decisively adjusted his offensive tactics. Juventus changed from high-altitude bombing to ground penetration.

But this plays right into the hands of Chelsea's defensive players.

Compared to the penetration attack on the ground, which team in football is better than Manchester City now?
Chelsea's ability to deal with this kind of technical attack has long been honed in its constant competition with Manchester City.

At this moment, Juventus chooses this offensive mode, which is equivalent to reducing the defensive pressure on Chelsea's entire team.

The game time soon reached the 70th minute of the second half, and Juventus still had no achievements on the offensive end.

Mourinho also began to let the defensive players on the bench go to the sidelines to warm up.

As soon as Li Ang saw it, he decisively retreated to the midfielder position.

Five minutes later, Maguire, who was standing on the sidelines, and Juventus' high center forward Llorente were substituted at almost the same time.

Allegri couldn't help but sneered at Lao Mu in his heart.

To be honest, the relationship between the two is not bad. If it weren't for the live broadcast of the game at this moment, Uncle Jon would have rushed to Lao Mu and grabbed him by the collar and asked questions.

"Did you do it on purpose? Ah, you bastard! You must have done it on purpose!"

The fans who saw Maguire and Llorente being substituted on the field at almost the same time in front of the TV were simply grinning from ear to ear.

Even the Juventus fans couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Mourinho's substitution was really disturbing.

As soon as Maguire came on the court, he immediately offset Llorente's advantage in grabbing points from the air.

In the 80th minute of the second half, Mourinho replaced Hazard with Karas, and the game came to a real end.

In the end, with all Chelsea players resolutely retreating, Juventus could only swallow the bitter fruit of a 0-1 defeat in this game.

Li Ang's wonderful steal and counterattack goal became the key point in the game's turning point.

After the game, before he could exchange greetings with his old teammates Morata and Pirlo, he was surrounded by Italian reporters who swarmed up.

After being praised by a Sky Sports Italy reporter for single-handedly changing the direction of the game, Li Ang interrupted him directly in Italian and replied sincerely:
"There is never a single person in football. This is a team victory, a victory for our entire Chelsea team!"
