Starting From Playing as a Defensive Midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 345 Six-Time Champion, Here We Come!

"Although Liverpool received nearly 100 million in transfer fees from Chelsea, why do I feel that Liverpool still lost money?"

"It's hard to say who lost money in this matter. If Suarez is still in Liverpool, he may not be able to show such a good debut in the new season. He will suffer if he continues to stay in Liverpool."

"I really like Li Ang more and more now. After so many years in the industry, I have never seen a core player who gives up the right to fire. No wonder the players who have worked with him like to say good things about him!"

"Don't talk about his teammates. Many of his opponents are eager to play with him. He is Li Ang!"

On the sidelines of Stamford Bridge, British media reporters from all walks of life also gathered together at this moment, communicating quickly and in a low voice with their acquaintances.

Regarding this game itself, they no longer need to spend more time writing press releases.

The score has reached 4-0 before the 70th minute of the game.

"Chelsea completely beat Swansea!"

Tomorrow, they will only use this sentence to summarize the content of today's Premier League opener. There is no problem at all.

In contrast, they are obviously more interested in writing about Suarez's new game state after leaving Liverpool and Li Ang's generosity in giving up the right to fire.

Unfortunately, Mourinho did not give them more material to write about. When the game reached the 70th minute of the second half, he directly replaced Li Ang and Suarez with Salah and Llorente.

After the substitution, Chelsea's front trident became Hazard, Llorente and Salah.

De Bruyne, who played on the right wing before, retreated to the midfield and formed a double central midfielder with Kroos.

Considering that Chelsea is about to compete with Sevilla in the European Super Cup, and will have to play the second round of the Premier League.

Mourinho wants to preserve the physical strength of the team's important players, and the idea of ​​slowing down the pace of the game is naturally reasonable.

But now the Chelsea players on the field, who are full of physical strength and have not played official games for two months, obviously have not played enough.

Even though Li Ang has left the field early, De Bruyne has completely taken on the responsibility of delivering threatening passes forward.

Llorente certainly can't compare with Suarez in terms of goal-scoring ability now, but his role as a fulcrum in the penalty area is more prominent than Suarez.

With De Bruyne's sharp pass and Llorente's timely pass after attracting defensive firepower, Hazard and Salah have no shortage of opportunities to continue to perform.

In the 78th minute of the second half, Hazard received Llorente's header and ran out of a half-solo opportunity.

However, this time Hazard did not take credit. At the last moment, he chose to pass the ball horizontally to the far end of the goal.

Salah directly pushed the ball into the half-empty goal and scored his first goal of the new season!

In the 84th minute, Chelsea continued to press forward and gave Swansea a chance to counterattack from the wing.

Andre Ayew successfully got the ball to the bottom and sent a reverse triangle back pass. In the 60th minute of the second half, winger Routledge, who replaced Montero, cut into the middle and shot into the far corner of the goal!

Seeing that the clean sheet bonus that was about to be obtained was gone, Oblak was very helpless.

This goal cannot be blamed on him, because Thiago Silva, who was returning to defense at this moment, came late.

Just now, this guy followed and pressed to the midfield to organize the pass, and Azpilicueta and Trippier were almost playing as wingers.

In the penalty area, there was only one Maguire running and defending at both ends, and it was almost inevitable that the opponent would counterattack and lose the ball.

Fortunately, after losing this goal, the Chelsea players on the field gradually calmed down.

In the last 10 minutes of the game, Chelsea's defense did not give Swansea any opportunities to use, and kept the score of 5-1 until the end of the game.

Mourinho didn't say much when he saw this.

The first show was a big win, and he was very satisfied with the process and results of this game.

Even if he wanted to criticize them, it would not be today. There are still many opportunities to criticize these players in the future training days~

After the game, Trippier and Suarez, who performed well in today's Premier League opener, were surrounded by reporters and asked for interviews.

Oblak, who played steadily, did not attract too many reporters' interest in interviews.

However, Chelsea fans are still very satisfied with the team's newly selected goalkeeper.

After all, the goalkeeper position requires stable performance.

Oblak is not afraid of the stage, and his goal line skills are solid. The goal he lost was because of the brothers on the back line.

Combined with his age of only 22, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a promising future.

Suarez won the best player award of the game as expected.

But when he was interviewed with a smile, Suarez was not very proud. Instead, he kept thanking Li Ang for helping him integrate into the team as soon as possible.

However, Li Ang had already finished a simple shower in the locker room early, and left the stadium quickly and low-key.

Because his girlfriend had arrived in London this afternoon after accompanying her parents in her hometown, and is currently waiting for him to go home in his villa.

Li Ang, who had not seen Anna for several months, had no time to accept the post-match interview at this time.

After talking to assistant coach Holland, he hurriedly left the team and went home early.

Speaking of which, Leon and Anna have been together for quite some time.

But one of them had to stay in Europe to play football, and the other had to go to college in China, so they were always apart.

Because of this, they didn't have the idea that other couples would get tired of each other after being together for a long time.

They still seem to be in the honeymoon period, and they are very happy and passionate every time they meet...

Mourinho generously gave a day off to the first team of players.

It was also very rare that Li Ang did not choose to go to the training base for extra training during the holiday.

His "abnormal behavior" naturally attracted the attention of many fans and media reporters.

After the Sun paparazzi went out in large numbers, it didn't take long for photos of Li Ang and Anna, who was dressed in disguise, to low-key purchase daily necessities in a supermarket near their residence to spread quickly on the Internet!

This was not news at all, but Li Ang's popularity in the football world is still high, and his personal private life is extremely clean.

So the fans who watched the excitement were very curious about his girlfriend who had always been out of the public eye.

Unfortunately, Li Ang has never announced Anna's true identity. The public knows nothing about Anna except that she is young and beautiful from the media.

After resuming training the next day, Li Ang responded to the media's interviews outside the training base with a smile.

"No comment."

Anna is very satisfied with her current studies and love life. She doesn't like to live under the spotlight all day.

Or, she doesn't want to enter another rhythm of life that is always watched by the media.

When she is ready, Li Ang will take her to appear in front of the public.

Now, the two are busy with their own things on weekdays, communicate by phone, and live together for more than ten days or a month when they have time. Li Ang thinks it's good.

Living with Anna these days, Li Ang is in a good mood. Even if he is teased by his teammates in the club, he is happy and not annoyed at all.

On August 11, Li Ang bid farewell to his girlfriend and went to Georgia with the team.

Chelsea will play the European Super Cup against Sevilla at the International Stadium in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Because the Premier League starts earlier, Chelsea has already finished the first round of the Premier League and has time to play this European Super Cup.

In contrast, Sevilla has not yet completed pre-season training.

After playing this European Super Cup with Chelsea, Sevilla will have to play another friendly match before welcoming the opening game of the new La Liga season on August 22.

So there is no doubt that Chelsea's current competitive state is better than Sevilla.

After all, no matter how many pre-season friendly matches you play, the effect of running-in and training players is definitely not as good as that of official matches.

In addition to playing a league game, Chelsea has also played a real Community Shield match with Manchester City.

No matter how you look at it, they have more competitive advantages than Sevilla.

Mourinho also bluntly stated in the pre-match press conference that Chelsea came to Georgia to strive for the team's sixth championship trophy of the year!

Such remarks will inevitably make some Sevilla fans feel uncomfortable.

But after Mourinho made an advance statement, Chelsea's morale was indeed boosted, and both new and old players were ready to create the most historical record of the Premier League club's annual championship!

On the evening of August 12, after the pre-match warm-up, the players of Chelsea and Sevilla quickly followed the referee's footsteps and lined up to walk out of the player tunnel.

In the past season, Chelsea has been invincible in Europe and has won five championship trophies in 2015!

For the remaining European Super Cup and Club World Cup, Chelsea only needs to win one more championship trophy to surpass Liverpool, the five-time champion of the year, and become the only six-time champion club in the Premier League to create history!

Therefore, this European Super Cup tonight also attracted a large number of fans from all over the world to watch.

The players of Sevilla unknowingly shouldered the mission-like task of preventing the birth of a new European devil team.

However, compared with the so-called honor gained after winning Chelsea, the game pressure they are facing at this moment has far exceeded their expectations before the game.

At least the coaching team and main players of Sevilla did not want to fight Chelsea to the death in this game.

After the game officially started that night, Sevilla, who kicked off first, wanted to test Chelsea's bottom line first.

They wanted to compete with Chelsea more calmly, but Chelsea, who went all out, did not want to play any cat-and-mouse game with Sevilla!

Lions and rabbits, they came up to exert pressure with all their strength!

In this kind of Super Cup where the outcome is determined, it is really meaningless to think too much about the hard power comparison between the two teams.

There is too little understanding between each other, too many variables, it is better to go all out and press directly.

Chelsea came up with a set of high pressure from the wind, and Sevilla was caught off guard and soon lost the ball.

Only in the third minute of the opening, Li Ang received Suarez's back pass at the front of the penalty area and shot directly!

Although this shot eventually missed the goal frame and did not threaten the goal guarded by Beto, Chelsea's offensive aggressiveness was revealed.

Since then, Chelsea has been controlling the initiative of the game and constantly attacking Sevilla's defense!

Today's Sevilla is a few points stronger than when Li Ang left La Liga.

Last season, Sevilla was only two points away from overtaking Valencia to enter the Champions League zone, and is now considered a top six team in La Liga.

In terms of defense alone, this Sevilla is not a threat to Chelsea, but their offensive ability should not be underestimated.

Although they were beaten dizzy by Chelsea at the beginning of the game, after recovering, Sevilla just kept making trouble on the counterattack against Chelsea's violent attack!

That is to say, before the game today, Mourinho has completely unified the team's tactical thinking.

Otherwise, facing Sevilla's threatening counterattack, Chelsea's players on the field may really want to slow down the offensive rhythm first.

Li Ang remembered the tactical arrangement that Mourinho had told him before the game, and he did not retreat at all at this moment, and continued to call on his teammates to press forward strongly!

In the 16th minute of the first half, Matic risked a card by shoveling from the side and intercepting the advancing Reyes.

After two short passes of the ball, Leon received the ball from Kroos and pushed forward again.

Before that, he had a very close passing connection with Hazard, and the defenders of Sevilla also consciously began to limit him and Hazard on the defensive end to establish a passing channel.

But this time, he just made a gesture of continuing to dribble the ball to the left and cooperate with Hazard.

At the moment when the Sevilla defense line tilted to the right as a whole, he quickly stuffed the ball to the slightly empty right in front of him!

Trippier, who got the chance to start again today, was very tacitly inserted at this moment.

De Bruyne's previous inward movement had taken away the defensive attention of Sevilla right back Tremulina.

Therefore, Trippier received the ball very smoothly and completed the bottom.

The cross he sent found Suarez who was running very accurately at the back point of the penalty area.

However, under the defense of French center back Lamy, it was difficult for Suarez to head the ball directly this time.

He could only withstand Lamy's defensive pressure and finally chose to pass the ball to the middle of the penalty area!

Li Ang, who had moved forward after completing the ball distribution, did not have time to rush to the middle to receive the ball and shoot.

However, after seeing that Kroos had arrived at the receiving area, Li Ang took advantage of the situation and opened up the gap between him and Kroos and turned to the front of the goal!

The next moment, Kroos chose to pass the ball directly into the penalty area without stopping the ball. Li Ang also rushed past another Sevilla center back Krechowiak and stood in the first position to head the ball!

"Kroos's transfer pass! Li Ang headed the ball!!!"

Commentators from various countries seemed to make the same excited commentary at this moment!

After Li Ang fully exerted his strength to complete the head shot, the football was "blasted" into the Sevilla goal like a cannonball!

Beto had no choice but to try to block the powerful header from such a close distance. However, he only touched the air!

When Li Ang saw the ball hit the net, he patted his chest and excitedly rushed to the live camera at the bottom line!

Under the lighting of the stadium, he roared confidently, as if he had already anticipated the end of the game!

"Six-time champion! Here we come!"
