Starting From Playing as a Defensive Midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 201 The Premier League Situation After Three Consecutive Victories, Well-Deserved Premier League Best in August!

"Okay, the first half of the game is over! When the whistle of the halftime game fell, we can also see the disappointment written on the faces of Manchester United players.

However, there are still 45 minutes left in the game. During the halftime break, Manchester United coach Moyes' adjustment is crucial.

And for Chelsea at this moment, they can arrange the tactics for the second half more calmly!

Viewers can take a break..."

In Zhan Jun's halftime summary, which could not hide his joy, domestic fans also opened their mobile phones with satisfaction and browsed major sports forums.

At nearly four o'clock in the morning in China, the frequently refreshed posts on major sports forums also fully revealed the super high heat of the red and blue battle between Chelsea and Manchester United.

Now the mood of Manchester United fans in China is similar to that of Barcelona fans in China in the previous two seasons.

Seeing their home team being beaten up, they are naturally very depressed.

But watching Li Ang perform in the top league, they are very happy and proud.

It was really uncomfortable, but it was also really happy.

For the Chelsea fans in China at this moment, this is the happiest moment of watching the game!

Even after the second half of the game officially started, Chelsea once again shrank the front line, and Li Ang once again retreated to play as a defensive midfielder.

But the Chelsea fans in China still watched it with relish.

However, for the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford, this was a complete visual and psychological torture.

But their boos and even scolding would not have the proper stimulating effect on the Chelsea players at this meeting.

After all, there is a big difference between the rogue defense in a draw and when lagging behind and the tactical defense when leading.

The former is because the hard power is not as good as the opponent, so they have to consolidate the defense first to avoid losing more balls.

The latter is to wear down the opponent's offensive will in order to win the game more safely.

Chelsea's players even felt sufficient spiritual enjoyment in the boos.

Just like what Mourinho encouraged and inspired his disciples during the halftime break.

"The louder the boos from the opponents, the more afraid they are!

They are afraid that we will win a complete victory at Old Trafford, and they are also afraid that Manchester United's gorgeous coat will be torn off by us so roughly and simply.

So, enjoy the game in defense!

Strangle the two chains we have wrapped around their necks.

If there is a chance, wrap the third one, if there is no chance, let them slowly suffocate!"

Mourinho's slightly cruel encouragement seemed to echo in the ears of all Chelsea players at this moment.

And under Li Ang's seemingly tireless running, sweeping and intercepting.

Ramirez and Lampard, who were only responsible for helping him to defend and occasionally make a frontal interception, also completed their defensive tasks very well.

So much so that in the 76th minute of the second half, Mourinho was very relieved to replace Lampard with Matic.

His practice of treating the remaining twenty minutes as garbage time to get used to the new players simply made the Manchester United fans at the scene furious!

But this anger now looks more and more like impotent rage.

Because Manchester United has only completed two shots that hit the goal frame since the start of the second half!

Van Persie was completely lost in Chelsea's targeted defense today.

He couldn't receive too many passes from his teammates, and he was also given special attention by Terry. So far, he has only had two shots in total.

And these two shots didn't even test Cech!

This embarrassed Van Persie, who beat Suarez and Bale to defend the Premier League Golden Boot last season.

After losing the sharpness and cooperation magic on the offensive end in the past, the performance of this Manchester United is really too mediocre.

Some Chelsea players who were a little nervous before the game were also convinced by Mourinho's tactical judgment!

Moyes's several tactical adjustments in the first and second half were basically expected by the Chelsea coaching staff.

This feeling of always being able to follow the opponent's rhythm makes Chelsea's players feel at ease.

Including Matic who came on as a substitute in the second half.

This is Ivanovic's national team teammate and the tall midfielder who won the Portuguese Super League Player of the Year last season.

After changing from a central midfielder to a defensive midfielder, he embarked on a path that was destined to shine and return to Chelsea.

Now that Matic is in his prime, there is no problem with his strength.

So when he can settle down psychologically, his performance is extremely eye-catching!

In other words, the chemical reaction between him and Li Ang when they first partnered on the court was extremely amazing.

One is responsible for all-around sweeping, and the other is responsible for intercepting the front and assisting in organizing the ball.

It looks very similar to the balanced attack and defense combination of Li Ang and Alonso in Real Madrid.

It's just that this time the lagging midfielder has to do more dirty work, while the front midfielder is responsible for both offense and defense, becoming the core of the team's offense.

The functions of the two midfields have changed, but the offensive and defensive balance achieved by the combination is very similar.

So the Manchester United offensive players who wanted to try to counterattack in the final stage of the game were miserable again.

After luckily infiltrating Li Ang's defense zone, they are now facing not Lampard, who is a guest midfielder.

But Matic, whose frontal interception ability has reached the top level in football and is only one Premier League match away from his peak state!

The fans at the Manchester United scene watched Matic's performance and became more and more frightened and disappointed.

"Where did Mourinho find another monster? Is he going to train all the outstanding midfielders in the new generation of football?!"

Some Manchester United fans couldn't help but wail on the Internet. The response to him was naturally the strong approval of the majority of Premier League fans.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Chelsea's 2-0 shutout of Manchester United at Old Trafford was the first to rush to the top search in English football.

And followed closely by Matic's wonderful performance in less than 20 minutes of playing time!

Yes, after returning to the Premier League and playing for Chelsea again, in less than 20 minutes, Matic's defensive performance can already be made into a highlight!

Even though there are still some tacit understanding problems between him and most of his teammates.

But after seeing his almost natural defensive cooperation with Li Ang, fans of various Premier League teams immediately issued a unified pessimistic lament:

"The iron-blooded Blues that once tortured all Premier League teams may really return this year!"

Tough defensive midfielder, all-around core midfielder, powerful center forward, solid defense and talented side attack group...

Mourinho's preferences remain unchanged after leaving the Premier League for so many years.

Moreover, he once again copied a tough lineup in a short period of time that made opponents tremble with fear when they saw the strength on paper!

How is the running-in situation? How fast is the running-in progress?

The key is that the current Premier League fans have roughly glimpsed the terrifying combat power of Chelsea after the successful running-in.

The onlookers have extinguished their thoughts of watching fun after watching two games.

The Spanish media are also hyping up Mourinho and Li Ang's successful start in the Premier League.

The argument of "La Liga> Premier League" seems to have gained a foothold again with this fact.

But compared with the increasingly fierce public opinion.

After tasting the taste of two consecutive victories, Chelsea's players started their recovery therapy at the Cobham training base in a more low-key manner.

Chelsea, which is on the cusp of the wind, seems to have drifted away from the football circle in London.

The veterans of the Blues are busy with active physical therapy to protect their bodies, and the young Chelsea players are also running to the training base under the influence of Li Ang's extra training.

Although they are "guarded" by the team doctors and coaching staff, these young Chelsea players cannot work as hard as Li Ang to improve their limited abilities.

But it is completely possible to spend every day in the physiotherapy area and do some additional training after completing the daily training tasks.

After completing another stage of running-in tasks, Chelsea ushered in the last round of Premier League games before the international match day.

On the afternoon of August 31, Chelsea played against the Premier League powerhouse Aston Villa at home at Stamford Bridge.

It seems a bit problematic to say this, after all, Aston Villa was only ranked 15th in the Premier League last season.

After Barry, Milner, Ashley Young and other strong players left the team one after another, Aston Villa has never entered the top ten of the Premier League in the past two seasons.

But perhaps it was the excellent performance of this group of players around 2010.

Aston Villa is still a difficult mid-level team in the eyes of the majority of Premier League fans.

Mourinho certainly won't look down on this kind of mid-level team that is generally considered difficult to play by fans.

However, it is unnecessary to show weakness to Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

It is understandable to be timid when playing away games.

After all, there is such a thing as a home whistle, and the mid- and lower-level teams in the Premier League are excited and aggressive when playing against various giants.

So sometimes you have to show weakness to the enemy first, wear down the blood and morale of these mid-level teams, and then use hard power to complete the harvest.

But Mourinho, who plays at home, often adopts another completely different opening tactic.

Just like today's game, Chelsea relied on the power of the home court and came up to show off Aston Villa, whose midfield strength is average!

Without the care of the referee's whistle, Aston Villa's defensive players acted more roughly, and the ones who benefited were basically Chelsea's players.

Besides, even if we put aside the gap in technical strength, in terms of midfield toughness, would Chelsea, which now has Li Ang, still be afraid of Aston Villa?

With the advantage in both technology and confrontation.

After Chelsea took control of the initiative in the midfield, they quickly pressed past the center line and kept biting and tearing apart Aston Villa's backcourt defense!

Westwood, the young midfielder in the center of Aston Villa, really couldn't resist when facing Li Ang's frequent ball-holding attacks.

He was just 1.75 meters tall and barely over 70 kilograms. He was no match for Li Ang in frontal interception.

Even if he repeatedly called his tall teammate Ahmadi to help him defend, it was difficult for the two to withstand Li Ang's forward impact.

After all, Ahmadi, who is 1.9 meters tall, weighs only 76 kilograms.

After Li Ang tightened his core, his strong body of the little steel cannon, which was almost 85 kilograms, almost knocked Ahmadi out of breath.

Seeing the Aston Villa midfielders being knocked away repeatedly, the referee had to blow Li Ang's offensive foul once or twice.

But even so, Aston Villa could not escape the situation of defense being in disarray after the midline was wide open.

Li Ang used the simplest and most effective way to quickly open up the situation on the offensive end.

And the Chelsea forwards who had a steady stream of offensive possession did not disappoint their own fans at the scene.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Hazard decisively went down the bottom after receiving Li Ang's breakthrough pass!

Aston Villa right back Matthew Lowton was just a little slower in starting speed, and soon he couldn't even get Hazard's tail gas!

Lowton could only watch Chelsea's left winger cut inside and rushed into his own penalty area.

And Hazard soon used a clever inverted triangle pass to deceive all the Aston Villa defenders who were besieging him and Ibrahimovic!

On the slightly empty Aston Villa penalty area, Li Ang, who rushed to the goal, completed his signature small swing leg shot for the first time in the Premier League!

This is only Li Ang's second shot attempt in the official game of the new season!

The last shot was when he played against Manchester United, and he tried a long shot outside the penalty area at the beginning of the second half.

At that time, Li Ang's long shot attempt was saved by De Gea in time.

However, today, at a position closer to the goal, Li Ang's violent shot was faster!

And Aston Villa goalkeeper Guzan, whose goal line technology is far inferior to De Gea, obviously has no way to deal with Li Ang's close-range powerful shot!

After watching the football successfully enter the net above the far corner of the goal.

Li Ang also excitedly rushed straight to the corner flag area and made a long-lost celebration gesture of wearing a mask!

This is Li Ang's first personal goal in the Premier League!

So far, Li Ang's data of one goal and three assists in three Premier League games in the new season can be said to be extremely eye-catching!

His goal can be regarded as directly opening Chelsea's goal account.

At the end of the first half, Ibrahimovic and Lampard also scored successively.

Chelsea, who had already led Aston Villa 3-0 at halftime, will usher in the first exciting big ball victory of the new season in this round of the league if nothing unexpected happens!

When Li Ang received De Bruyne's cross in the second half and headed in.

All Premier League fans understand that there is no opponent who can compete with Li Ang for the Premier League Player of the Month in August!

Three games alone scored five goals!

The personal league data of two goals and three assists in the whole August is impeccable no matter where it is placed!

And with the end of Chelsea's final 5-1 victory over Aston Villa, the pattern of the entire Premier League new season has also been initially presented.

Chelsea has won all three games and currently leads the Premier League standings with a strong advantage in goal difference.

Liverpool has also been steadily ranked at the top of the Premier League through three strange 1-0 victories, and it is considered a sudden rise this season.

Manchester City, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur have all squeezed into the top six.

At present, the records of these three teams are two wins and one loss.

Only Manchester United lost 0-1 to Liverpool in the third round after losing in the second round!

Not to mention losing the Red Double Meeting, Manchester United also lost its position in the Premier League standings to 16th place!

In the first three games of the new season, Manchester United only achieved one win and two losses, which is a big loss of face.

Of course, the current record is not real, just for fans to watch for fun.

If you really want to see the gap between the top teams and the middle and lower teams in the Premier League standings, you have to play until at least December.

However, all Premier League fans are convinced by the strong performance of Chelsea and Li Ang now.

On the morning of September 9, Li Ang received the official award of the Premier League Player of August at the Cobham training base in training clothes.

Taking photos and giving interviews are naturally indispensable.

But what surprised the Premier League staff was that Li Ang simply cooperated with them to complete the publicity and shooting work, and then immediately devoted himself to his extra training today.

After Li Ang's similar extra training group photos were officially certified by the Premier League and posted on the official tweet.

Under the Premier League official tweet announcing that Li Ang was elected the best player of the new season in August, the content of the comments quickly reached a consensus:

Well deserved!
