Chapter 230 Manchester United Doesn't Want to Be Decent? Then Help Them Be Decent! [Please Subscribe! ]

After the award ceremony that night, Li Ang and Mourinho were not in a hurry to return to London immediately.

Because the next round of the Premier League will not start until a week later, Mourinho has already given all the players of Chelsea's first team two days off.

So that night, after Li Ang, Mendes and Ronaldo finished their dinner, they stayed directly in a local hotel in Zurich.

On the morning of the second day, after a rare sleep, Li Ang, Ibrahimovic and Mourinho slowly took a plane back to London.

The Chelsea trio is now completely a hot commodity in the eyes of the local media in London, and Li Ang has received interview requests far more than Ibrahimovic.

Even though Ibrahimovic is ranked higher than Li Ang in the annual Golden Ball Award, there is no doubt that Li Ang is the most popular football star in London now.

According to the report released by German Bild after the Golden Ball Award ranking was announced, that is:

If Li Ang last year could have the offensive tactical rights in Chelsea this year, his personal data could further rise to double fifteen in a single season.

Then in the ranking of the annual Golden Ball, Li Ang is likely to be ranked fifth or even fourth!

And if we only look at the performance in the first half of this season, Li Ang is already the well-deserved No. 1 offensive midfielder in the current football world...

As soon as the Bild report came out, it immediately triggered discussions among many football fans.

Of course, many fans will be dissatisfied. If Bild said that Li Ang is the No. 1 midfielder in the current football world in terms of offense and defense, then they may not have any opinions.

But Bild said that Li Ang is the No. 1 offensive midfielder in the current football world. These fans are a little dissatisfied.

It may be because in the past games, Li Ang gave the fans more of the impression that he is stronger in defense than in offense.

The vast majority of fans admit that Li Ang has a very outstanding talent for growth, and he has been constantly improving his offensive arsenal.

But the inherent impression is really difficult for fans to reverse in a short period of time.

Even if the facts are here, right in front of these fans.

But they will still subconsciously judge the Bild report according to their own inherent impressions.

However, Bild was also very tough. In the face of many online comments questioning, they only released Li Ang's current personal data.

Bild's official Twitter account asked the questioning fans to find out for themselves which midfielder in the football world can surpass Li Ang's current number of goals.

The stubborn fans saw it and thought, wow!

Before the award ceremony, Li Ang had raised his personal season data to 15 goals + 14 assists!

This number of goals is about to reach 30 goals in the season!

After counting carefully, these fans found that there is really no offensive midfielder who can compare with Li Ang in terms of personal data.

So the stubbornness turned into a live slap in the face.

On the British media side, whether in London or other major cities in England, the media are completely chasing and praising Li Ang.

Premier League fans have no objection to such publicity. After all, those who have objections have been defeated by Li Ang with his excellent offensive and defensive performance.

It doesn't matter if you don't accept it. The second half of the league has just begun, and the teams they support still have the opportunity to meet Chelsea and play another game.

We'll see when the time comes. If Chelsea loses, Li Ang will naturally lie flat and be ridiculed in public opinion, but if Chelsea wins, they will be besieged and ridiculed by other fans if they dare to attack the Spurs again.

These public opinion disputes outside the stadium happen every year, and the major Premier League coaches and stars who are used to it don't take it too seriously.

At least for Mourinho, public opinion storms are just trivial matters to him.

After returning to London, he immediately threw himself into his work.

Li Ang, who has resumed the rhythm of training and preparation with his teammates, found out when he looked at the schedule during the physical examination that their next league opponent is Manchester United.

Last season, Chelsea would have discussed the match with Manchester United.

But this year, the old players in Chelsea did not express any opinions at all, as if they were just playing a match with a mid-level team in the league.

There was no mental awareness of preparing for the battle between the red and blue.

Well, it's not just the players in Chelsea, Chelsea fans are not nervous about Manchester United now.

In the pre-match publicity, the local media in London and Manchester are still very conscientious.

However, they want to hype up this game as much as possible, but to put it bluntly, the confrontation between Chelsea and Manchester United is essentially the top of the Premier League against the seventh in the Premier League.

Even if you hype it up, Manchester United can't return to the top overnight, return to the top three in the Premier League, and have a strong dialogue with Chelsea.

Of course, Manchester United fans are still quite inspiring. When others say that they are now the seventh in the Premier League, Manchester United fans like to add some prefixes. ?

"Manchester United has worked hard to climb from outside the top ten in the Premier League to the seventh place in the Premier League!"

Look, how inspiring.

No matter whether Manchester United fans are stubborn or not, just look at this sentence. It is indeed quite difficult to break into the top eight of the Premier League from outside the top ten.

Directly climbing from the middle and lower reaches to the upper reaches of the league, there are only two more places to enter the top of the league!

Looking at the record, Manchester United now has 11 wins, 4 draws, 6 losses and 37 points in the first 21 rounds of the Premier League, ranking seventh in the Premier League, and the gap from Liverpool, which is now fourth in the Premier League, is only two wins.

Manchester United has not been pulled away by the fourth team, and there is still a lot of hope for the fourth place. This situation is better than Arsenal in previous years.

Doesn't Arsenal also start to exert its strength in the second half of each season and rush to the top four?

So Manchester United fans are still optimistic about the results now, which is understandable, and there is a certain reason for stubbornness.

However, their head coach Moyes is under a lot of pressure now. Faced with the repeated questioning and rigid requirements from the team's top management, Sir Mo really wants to quit.

Not to mention the group of veterans in the team, among the stars in their prime years, only Rooney can be used normally.

Van Persie has to rest for one or two games after playing two or three games, and his goal efficiency has dropped significantly!

The team's goals are not guaranteed, and the club does not give transfer fees for signings in the winter window, which makes Sir Mo want to tap the potential of the team and promote a few young forwards from the second team to give it a try!

As for the so-called Ferguson legacy that Sanders has always emphasized, Moyes even said that he was fooled!

Ashley Young, Valencia and Nani were absolutely the killers in the Premier League two seasons ago.

But now they are Manchester United's super fun people. When they play well and when they play poorly, they can't even tell it themselves!

Every time Moyes arranges the starting lineup before the game, it's like opening a blind box!

Because he doesn't know which of the players who are arranged to play on the wing today will have a better performance and which one will not be a drag.

And Cleverley and Anderson are even more annoying to Moyes.

Moyes has led the team to play 20 rounds of the league, and now he just wants to ask Ferguson to understand how he used this group of people to win the Premier League championship last season?

Even if Moyes is given Van Persie, who was relatively healthy last season, Moyes dare not guarantee that he can lead Manchester United to the top 4.

From the high spirits in the summer to the exhaustion and gray hair now, Moyes has only been in Manchester United for more than half a year.

Seeing that they are about to play Chelsea again, Moyes really wants to park a super bus at Stamford Bridge and defend a one-point draw.

But the top management of Manchester United was giving blind orders. Sandzi told him that he must play Manchester United style football at Chelsea's home stadium.

Moyes almost had a cerebral hemorrhage when he heard this.

Manchester United style?

If they can successfully enter the top six now, they will have to burn incense. What Manchester United style are you talking about?

If you want results, bring money!

I have told you that most of the young players left by Sir Alex Ferguson are useless, but you don't believe it. When you want money, you say that there is Ferguson's legacy!

This is clearly that they don't want to invest money, but they must get results!

Moyes only felt wronged, but now he has boarded the pirate ship, and being able to coach the Premier League's top giants is indeed the best opportunity Moyes has encountered since he started coaching.

He didn't want to miss this trip to the giants, so even if he felt it was unreliable, Moyes still racked his brains to lead the team to prepare for the game, and formulated a set of tactics that are very "Manchester United style" according to Sandzi's words.

Rooney is a wise man. After all, he has played 20 games before. He knows how his teammates are performing now.

Before the game with Chelsea, Rooney found an opportunity to have a conversation with Sandezi, apparently wanting to help his old mentor Moyes relieve some pressure.

But the final result of the conversation was not very pleasant.

Anyway, Rooney looked very unhappy when he left Sandezi's office, and the atmosphere in Manchester United was also affected as the rumors spread.

Of course, all this is unknown to Manchester United fans.

Compared with the group of Red Devils fans who have accumulated enough disappointment in the past few years and have no hope for Manchester United's weird management.

Now Manchester United fans still have high expectations for the future development of the team.

On January 19, enthusiastic Manchester United fans followed the team to London. Even if they were playing away, the fighting power of Manchester United fans should not be underestimated.

When the two teams were warming up before the game, the Manchester United fans in the stands used their unison and high-pitched singing to inspire the morale of the Manchester United players on the scene.

However, on the Chelsea side, from the fans to the players, there was no doubt that they would win this game.

Mourinho even made a detailed tactical plan before the game on how Chelsea should respond if Moyes chose to park the bus and defend.

London's sports media also analyzed that Manchester United would take the initiative to take a defensive stance to deal with Chelsea's strong attack.

But when the game officially started, Manchester United shocked countless media reporters with their proactive forward attack!

"Is Moyes crazy?"

This thought flashed through the minds of countless reporters and neutral Premier League fans.

No, they couldn't figure out why Manchester United dared to do it?

They dared to take the initiative to attack and play against Chelsea at Chelsea's home court. They looked down on Chelsea's current first place in the Premier League and Mourinho's home win rate!

However, Mourinho was not offended at all.

Instead, he was very happy~

This is really a sleepy person and someone sent a pillow to him.

He was still thinking about how to break through Manchester United's door more easily, but Moyes took the initiative to weaken the defense.

After being slightly surprised, the Chelsea players quickly followed Mourinho's tactical plan to press back.

Li Ang and Matic took the initiative to press forward, and the two launched a sweep at the top of the arc in the middle circle of their own half, and fought hard with Manchester United for the ball!

With Januzaj's small body, he could only fall on the grass when he confronted Li Ang.

Ashley Young and Valencia, who started as Manchester United's left and right forwards today, had no choice but to move inward to the middle to assist Carrick in passing the ball.

But it was useless for them to face Matic and Li Ang, not to mention that Chelsea's wingers were involved in the defense at this time.

In order to further strengthen the defensive hardness of the midfield and protect Carrick, Moyes chose Phil Jones to start as a defensive midfielder today.

However, in this case, Carrick's organizational pressure has increased a lot.

After all, Phil Jones had no way to help him share too much of the burden of passing the ball, and Januzaj was directly taken down by Li Ang.

Manchester United basically relied on Carrick to support the organization. How could he compete with the combination of Li Ang and Lampard?

Less than 5 minutes after the opening attack, Manchester United was pressed back by Chelsea. It was really miserable to see the scene. There was no strength to compete in the midfield!

After Li Ang easily dealt with Januzaj on the defensive end, he was able to make Carrick run around on the offensive end.

Ibrahimovic was in the penalty area of ​​Manchester United today, fighting one-on-one with Vidic.

His defensive containment ability is very strong.

After Vidic and Evans put most of their defensive energy on Ibrahimovic, Li Ang cooperated with Hazard to make trouble in the rib area of ​​Manchester United's half.

Just in the 13th minute of the first half, Li Ang forced his way in from the middle, and then passed the ball directly to the rib space outside the left side of Manchester United's penalty area, helping Hazard to successfully cut into Manchester United's penalty area!

Evans failed to make up for the defense in time, allowing Hazard to calmly kick the ball in the area he is best at.

This extremely fast shot caught De Gea off guard!

Chelsea, who had taken the lead early in the first half, did not intend to let Manchester United go.

Originally, Chelsea was going to let Manchester United lose decently today, after all, they are old rivals.

If Manchester United is willing to put down their posture and work hard on defense, then Chelsea might just score one or two goals.

But today, Manchester United took the initiative to attack as soon as they came on the field, which was completely disrespectful to Chelsea.

You have to know that this is a game played at Chelsea's home court. Manchester United's behavior is tantamount to pulling out the tiger's whiskers!

Since Manchester United does not want to be decent.

Then Chelsea can only help the old rival to be decent once!

"Keep attacking! Keep attacking!"
