Chapter 325 Stamford Bridge Refuses to Turn the Tables, Li Ang Scores His 40th Goal of the Season

This record-breaking goal against Manchester United is Li Ang's 26th goal in the Premier League this season.

This goal helped Li Ang surpass Cavani and Suarez again, and he once again occupied the top spot in the Premier League scorer list!

At present, Cavani and Suarez have both scored 25 goals. The former has played in this round of the league but has not scored a goal, and the latter's game has not yet started.

Therefore, Li Ang's top spot in the scorer list is not safe. If he wants to stay at the top of the Premier League scorer list after this round of the league, Li Ang will have to strive for more goals.

Suarez finally played well at the end of the season. He dragged two immature strikers and scored 25 goals and 10 assists in the league. His personal strength is really terrifying.

The only good news may be that Liverpool has now lost the last chance to enter the Champions League zone.

Manchester United can still fight, and Liverpool can only keep the Europa League qualification now, which will also cause a big blow to Suarez's enthusiasm for the game.

Now the British media are constantly feeling sorry for Suarez.

Last season's Premier League top scorer, this season he scored 4 goals in the Champions League group stage for Liverpool, but failed to qualify.

He was eliminated early in the Europa League, and not only did he have no hope in the two cup competitions in England, he also had to train his younger brothers in the team to grow...

In the past three seasons, Suarez has almost scored 80 goals in the Premier League, and the total number of goals he created has exceeded 100.

A striker of this level has only played one season in the Champions League for Liverpool. Anyone who comes here will have to say it's a pity for Suarez.

Not to mention playing as a starter in a giant club, Suarez will definitely have no problem playing as a starter in a giant league team that can play in the Champions League stably.

Even if he doesn't stay in the Premier League next season, he can still make a difference in La Liga and the Bundesliga.

If it weren't for the tactics of Liverpool's coaching staff this season, Suarez would have a great chance of winning the Premier League Golden Boot again.

To some extent, Li Ang is also lucky.

If he encounters the situation that Suarez and Cavani both performed at their best last season, it would still be difficult for him to compete for the Golden Boot honor.

It is not easy for him to score 26 goals in the league so far, and he has tried his best.

And the two super center forwards who competed for the Premier League Golden Boot until the last round of the league last season scored more than 30 goals!

Suarez even broke the single-season goal record after the Premier League reform created by Ronaldo.

But no matter what, whether it is luck or strength, it is an indisputable fact that Li Ang is now leading the Premier League scorer list.

It is a miracle to achieve this as a midfielder.

And at this moment, Li Ang is further promoting this miracle to become a new Premier League record!

There is not much left in the league. After winning the championship in advance and without much competition pressure, the whole Chelsea team is very happy to help Li Ang compete for personal honors.

Manchester United's players were still confused by the current situation of losing the ball first, but after the game resumed, Chelsea took advantage of the victory and launched a strong attack on Manchester United's defense line very actively!

Li Ang originally wanted to retreat to his own half to defend first, but Van Ginkel and Lampard both asked him to boldly advance.

Seeing that his midfield partners were so confident today, Li Ang was disrespectful.

Manchester United, which had been actively attacking since the beginning of the game, was now pushed back by Chelsea.

Manchester United's offensive players who were still confident, such as Di Maria and Mata, were still thinking about fighting Chelsea's rotating midfield to regain control of the game.

But their teammates did not have this confidence. Fellaini and Herrera both wanted to defend first.

As a result, this directly caused the attack and defense of Manchester United's entire midfield to be split.

The two wings wanted to fight for attack, but the players in the middle of the midfield were desperately retreating, leaving Rooney alone, who was neither attacking nor defending.

Van Gaal is not Moyes. He has to point out the problem of the players' tactical thinking in a tactful way.

Chef Van stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips and roared directly. At this time, his thinking was consistent with Di Maria and others.

Manchester United was originally playing away, and now they have lost a goal, so they must not be timid in terms of momentum.

If they are timid, Chelsea will be more aggressive.

If Chelsea really seizes the opportunity to press forward in the first half, the morale of the entire Manchester United team will be greatly affected.

So they must fight for offense first. Manchester United's wingers on both wings are not bad, and there is Rooney in the middle. No matter how you look at it, they will not lose hope of a comeback.

If Falcao is really not good, Fellaini can be pushed to the front to play a tactical center forward.

Van Gaal still has an offensive trump card. In comparison, the defense is what he is more worried about.

So at this point, Manchester United has nowhere to retreat and can only rush forward!

Van Gaal's tactical decision was bold and decisive, and Mourinho appreciated it very much.

However, with a one-goal lead in hand and playing at home, Mourinho also had confidence in his young players.

At this point in the game, it was really exciting and interesting.

The young players who were rotated by Chelsea were decisive and dared to play, and they could play back and forth with Manchester United on both offense and defense.

However, the real focus of the fans was still Li Ang.

Manchester United fans pray that Li Ang will not get another threatening counterattack opportunity.

Chelsea fans are looking forward to Li Ang continuing to score goals and consolidating his lead in the scorer list.

Of course, the assist data cannot be left behind.

Now Li Ang has sent out 18 assists in the Premier League, and he is still two assists away from reaching 20 goals and assists in a single season!

Last season, Li Ang was one goal away from achieving this achievement, but Chelsea fans regretted it for almost a year.

This year I have to break Henry’s record no matter what!

Chelsea's players on the field also have such expectations.

However, sometimes passing the ball to Li Ang too anxiously will make Li Ang face Manchester United's tighter double-team defense.

In this case, Chelsea's counterattack efficiency plummeted.

Manchester United's two-wing tactics were effective, and Angel Di Maria also stepped forward at the critical moment.

After passing Chelsea veterans Lampard and Ivanovic on the wing, he sent a wonderful inverted triangle return pass.

Falcao's forward movement took Kalas away. Maguire was too late to defend, allowing Rooney to get a comfortable kicking opportunity in Chelsea's penalty area!

This time Rooney did not volley violently, but made a tricky putt shot!

The ball almost missed Maguire's interception and went into the near corner of the Chelsea goal.

Facing Rooney's non-stop putt shot, Cech was half a beat too slow to react and failed to make a successful save.

Manchester United successfully equalized the score in the 34th minute of the first half of the game, and countless Red Devils fans roared with excitement in front of the TV!

From hell to heaven, in this moment!

Thousands of Manchester United fans at Stamford Bridge also cheered wildly, venting their previous nervousness and anxiety.

Manchester United is still alive, and they still have time and opportunity to seize the initiative in the fourth place in their hands!

As long as they can overcome the difficulty of Chelsea, Manchester United will have a smooth road in the next two rounds of the league!

Van Gaal breathed a huge sigh of relief on the coaching bench.

Mourinho pursed his lips and shook his head. Dissatisfaction was definitely not considered dissatisfaction, but the current game situation exceeded his expectations.

Li Ang did not criticize his teammates on the defensive line on the court.

He is also considered one of the people in football who best understands Di Maria's strength.

Let the now elderly Lampard and Ivanovic face off against the rampant Di Maria, which is really no different from giving away their heads.

When the two teams competed in the league for the first time this season, Manchester United's situation was much worse than it is now.

At that time, Chef Fan had not yet come up with his big-circle tactics. With successive losses in the early stages of the league, Di Maria was thinking of running away. Naturally, he would not devote himself to playing for Manchester United at that time.

But now Manchester United is only half a step away from reaching the Champions League. Don't talk nonsense about the team, even if it is for yourself, Di Maria has to fight with all his strength!

Li Ang had a solemn look on his face.

In order to show respect for his old teammates, he also decisively retreated to participate in defense.

Lampard and Van Ginkel no longer patted their chests to provide defensive protection for Li Ang this time.

Chelsea shifted into a comprehensive formation contraction, and with Li Ang's energy investment on the defensive end, Chelsea's defense quickly stabilized its position.

Manchester United seized the last moment of the first half and made several more attacks, but they all failed. The half-time score of this game was fixed at 1-1.

After entering the halftime period, Mourinho still did not rush to make tactical adjustments, but let the players take a break first.

It’s also a good time to accumulate some physical energy and recall their respective performances in the first half.

There is no way to underestimate the enemy, but for Manchester United, which is about to enter the top four of the Premier League, today's Chelsea starting players still need to pay more attention.

After a break of almost 5 minutes, Mourinho clapped his hands to indicate that the players in the locker room were thinking of him.

"Okay, from now on, forget about the first half and the score, we are going to play Manchester United again.

In terms of tactics, we need to make certain adjustments, not on the defensive end, but on our counterattack efficiency..."

Mourinho stated his tactical requirements for the players clearly and quickly.

Li Ang listened very carefully, and he also agreed with Mourinho's adjustment ideas.

In the first half of the attack, Chelsea had no fewer counterattack opportunities than Manchester United.

But at that time, other Chelsea players on the field gave priority to Li Ang as soon as they got the ball. This was good news for Manchester United's defensive players.

Normally, Li Ang is the core point of Chelsea's counterattack system, but he will basically not be the first ball-holding point during the counterattack.

Transition first, then advance.

Either completing the final pass or completing the final blow, this is Li Ang's most threatening and main responsibility in the counterattack.

It should be Hazard or Salah who holds the ball more.

As a tactical support point, it should be Drogba.

You will never be able to eat hot tofu if you are anxious. The truth is very simple. At this time, calm down and think about it. The Chelsea players in the locker room also understand how to play the game in the second half...

Soon, the game resumed in the second half.

Chelsea, which has completed the dual adjustment of tactics and mentality, has become more stable.

Leon's range of activities is still large, but now other Chelsea players on the field will not look for him as soon as they get the ball like before.

Hazard and Salah began to take more turns to attack Manchester United's defense.

Chelsea's offensive development is also more centered on the two wingers, and no longer chooses to dig hard from the middle.

With Drogba supporting the middle to make passes and transfer the ball, Chelsea's offensive pull is very effective.

Leon's running range is large, but he mostly runs without the ball. Manchester United can no longer double-team him unscrupulously, and the pressure on Manchester United's defense is also much greater.

Before Hazard fully exerted his strength, Salah had taken the ball and forced Luke Shaw one-on-one many times.

This kind of one-on-one, the defenders can only call for help if they can't defend.

Luke Shaw's defensive experience is still a little insufficient, and Salah has successfully torn open Manchester United's defensive system with him as a breakthrough.

While Manchester United's entire defense line was passively leaning over, Li Ang received the ball in the 59th minute of the second half, made a decisive transfer, and sent a fatal through pass!

"Li Ang got the ball... and gave it to him! Hazard faced De Gea! Not offside! This ball is in!!!"

Zhan Jun burst into the studio with many familiar roars from Chinese fans!

At this moment at Stamford Bridge, Hazard, who scored a single goal after receiving a pass from Li Ang, had already opened his arms and excitedly rushed to the corner flag area!

The balance of the game shifted again. At the critical time point of the 60th minute of the second half, Chelsea showed their tenacity!

When the entire Manchester United team was nervous again and wanted to seize the time to continue attacking.

Chelsea did not stick to the defense, but chose to continue to fight with Manchester United like in the first half of the game!

But this time, Chelsea played more calmly and methodically.

Li Ang did not force his teammates to serve his own data. What he did was the same as in the usual games.

Anxious Manchester United chose a more direct and aggressive style of play on the offensive end, which also made their backcourt more and more empty.

In the 73rd minute of the second half, Li Ang cooperated with Van Ginkel to attack from the front and back and stole the ball from Fellaini's feet.

Facing Rooney's pressing, Li Ang passed the ball horizontally, and Lampard, who received the ball, decisively sent a long pass to Drogba!

Even though the peak is no longer there, the African beast's pivotal role on the field is still very prominent and eye-catching.

Facing Smalling's interference, the retreating Drogba still completed the header ferry and steadily passed the ball to Salah who was inserting at high speed on the wing!

Li Ang and Lampard moved forward together. At the same time, Hazard on the left also quickly cut inside and killed into the Manchester United penalty area!

Chelsea's quick counterattack made countless Manchester United fans in front of the TV tremble with fear!

And this time, Salah did not give Luke Shaw another chance to stick to himself.

He pretended to cut inside, but when Luke Shaw was cautiously retracting his position, he dribbled the ball decisively to the bottom line!

This time, the cross he sent was very accurate and stable.

Drogba made a feint in front of Manchester United's penalty area, and Smalling had to defend.

And Li Ang, who rushed into the middle of Manchester United's penalty area with an unstoppable momentum, also completed a header very smoothly in the next moment!

When the football once again passed De Gea's ten fingers and hit the net behind him, the mentality of the Red Devils fans was completely broken!

3-1!

The victory and defeat are determined, and the suspense is resolved!

"27th goal in the Premier League! 40th goal of the season! Li Ang! This is a milestone game for him!

Manchester United may not get the result they want today. When they see some hope, Li Ang and his teammates give a tough answer!

Today's Stamford Bridge still refuses surprises and reversals!"
