Chapter 203 The Car Is in Danger! Please Ask the Little Lion to Warm up and Save the Car! [Please Subscribe, Big Guys! ]
Li Ang's goal was timely.
After all, as time went by, the physical strength of most players on both Everton and Chelsea had been consumed to a breaking point.
In addition, most of Chelsea's offensive players were in average condition today. After the game reached 70 minutes, the probability of scoring was naturally slimmer.
For Everton, this goal was a huge blow to their morale.
They were about to achieve the goal of being unbeaten in this game, but the goal was broken when there were only more than 20 minutes left before the end of the game? !
They definitely couldn't continue to defend.
But if they wanted to attack, could they, who were not in good physical condition at the moment, really equalize the score before the final whistle?
Unless Chelsea maintained the forward offensive rhythm of the first half and continued to give Everton the opportunity to counterattack.
But just when Everton coach Martinez still had a glimmer of fantasy,
Mourinho, who had released his passion and returned to his rationality on the sidelines, quickly used tactical gestures to signal the Chelsea players on the field to shrink their formation!
Being able to score a goal at this time point is already a nearly perfect result for Chelsea today.
Among them, Li Ang's personal strength is the bottom line, but it is undeniable that Chelsea has also won the favor of the goddess of luck.
Mourinho dare not expect that such good luck will cause Chelsea to hit a few more heads.
So he has to choose a safe way to win the game smoothly at this moment!
Whether it is ugly or not is not within the consideration of the Chelsea coaching staff and Chelsea players on the field at this moment.
Even Chelsea fans are now eager to play in person to help the team defend the lead of this goal.
Of course, the more than 30,000 Everton fans at Goodison Park naturally don't want to see Chelsea shrink back to the half and defend like this.
But their anxious boos and bursts of sarcasm can't shake the Chelsea players' firm defensive will at all.
This is the fourth consecutive victory at the start of the Premier League!
Chelsea's veterans, who have not won the Premier League title for several years, certainly understand what it means for them to win four consecutive games at the start of this season.
Not to mention that they won this game when they were not in a dominant position and their form was problematic.
This feeling of being able to win in good times and bad times is very important for all Chelsea players.
Especially the young players in Chelsea now.
With morale and confidence, these young players can easily perform at a high level.
If Chelsea wants to win the championship now, it is important for the veterans to have a stable performance.
But it is naturally more important for young players to take up the responsibility and have a stable output on the offensive end.
And there is nothing more than a "nutrient" that can make young players more confident and grow quickly than winning one game after another.
So at this moment, whether it is Chelsea's veterans or young players, they are all excited to remind each other to pay attention to their own defense zone, staring fiercely at the Everton players who are about to kick off.
When the game entered the 70th minute of the second half, it was the most intense moment of the offensive and defensive rhythm of the two teams!
At this time, Li Ang, who had retreated to the penalty area in his own half, once again became the focus of the whole game with more abundant physical strength.
Mirallas, the offensive core of Everton at this moment, could not break through Li Ang's locked defense at all.
Without Fellaini, Everton's brainless cross-play that they could use every time they fell behind could no longer be used.
In desperation, Martinez could only let Barkley and midfielder Osman, who was replaced in the second half, try long shots.
After the magic of center forward Jelavic was gone, Everton's team only had offensive means but no stable and reliable end point.
In the end, there was really no way, and Martinez could only replace Jelavic with the young striker Deulofeu on loan from Barcelona.
But Deulofeu, who is only 19 years old, is obviously not enough to be the key man on Everton's front line.
There was no need for Li Ang to take action. Under Ramirez's active struggle, Deulofeu didn't even get a chance to shoot in the ten minutes he played.
After Barkley's last long shot hit the plane, the referee blew the whistle to end the game!
Li Ang, who hadn't felt so tired for a long time, leaned down to support his knees and took a breath!
But the next moment, he smiled and straightened his body, lifted his jersey and wiped his sweaty face.
Li Ang raised his hands and applauded to express his gratitude to the thousands of Chelsea fans who had traveled with the team.
The young Chelsea players who were hugging each other to celebrate at this time also reacted.
De Bruyne and Lukaku quickly walked towards Li Ang and applauded the fans to express their gratitude.
After Mourinho and Martinez shook hands and exchanged a few polite words, they ran towards their players impatiently!
The Premier League started with four consecutive victories, including opponents like Manchester United and Everton!
Mourinho did not want to deliberately promote or prove how valuable the four Premier League victories he led his team to win were.
However, the sports media in England, big and small, would jump out to help him prove it and help Chelsea regain its reputation.
At this time, Mourinho just wanted to stand with his players and simply enjoy the joy of winning four consecutive victories at the start!
Li Ang once again won his single-game best player champagne award.
And this time he had no intention of collecting this bottle of champagne.
After asking the staff for a bottle opener, he opened the bottle of champagne with his teammates on the spot and sprayed it happily in the air and on the grass of Goodison Park!
The scene of Chelsea players celebrating happily was naturally faithfully photographed by the reporters on the scene.
On the next day, almost all major sports media in England used this photo of Chelsea players celebrating as the front-page headline of the day's news.
With Liverpool being tied by Swansea, Chelsea has become the only team in the Premier League that has maintained a perfect record since the start of the season!
Indeed, Sturridge still maintains his magical performance.
In the four rounds of the Premier League at the beginning of the season, Sturridge scored a goal in each round.
In the first three rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool won three stable 1-0 victories with Sturridge's goal in each game!
In terms of the importance of the first three rounds of the Premier League to the victory of each team.
The importance of Sturridge to Liverpool may be higher than that of Li Ang to Chelsea.
But in the fourth round of the Premier League, Li Ang once again showed his comprehensive performance on both offense and defense.
Sturridge was able to break the deadlock for Liverpool and even tenaciously equalized the score.
But Li Ang was not only able to break the deadlock of the game, he was also able to use defense to help the team win steadily at the most important time point of the game.
Such performance made the few Premier League fans who wanted to rely on praising Sturridge to question Li Ang's winning of the Premier League Player of the Month Award in August speechless.
Winner takes all.
In the case where performance can be said to be almost equally important, the player who won will of course get more attention and a more advantageous position in public opinion.
Not long after Chelsea's fourth round of the Premier League ended, when Spain came to the news that Villarreal equalized Real Madrid before the end of the game.
Regardless of whether Li Ang and Mourinho were willing or not, many fans who were curious began to make assumptions:
If Li Ang was still in Real Madrid's starting lineup in this round of La Liga.
Then would Dos Santos, who scored the equalizer in the end, still have the possibility of shooting with almost no one guarding him?
Or, if the person standing in front of the Real Madrid coaching bench at that time was Mourinho.
Would Real Madrid still maintain its strong pressure on Villarreal in the last 20 minutes, leading to the opponent's counterattack and equalizing goal?
A simple La Liga result was discussed in a different way by a group of onlookers who were neither Real Madrid fans nor Chelsea fans.
Of course, there was a factor that Li Ang made a great contribution to Chelsea's four consecutive wins at the beginning.
But he himself didn't like being used by others to drag down his former teammates and his mother team.
If it were an ordinary star, in order to avoid suspicion, or to say conspiracy theory, in order to discuss popularity and traffic.
Maybe he would pretend to be silent at this moment and pretend to know nothing.
But Li Ang has always been in control of his personal social media, and at most occasionally handed it over to his assistant to operate it, post some event promotions and advertisements.
So after surfing the Internet that night and finding something wrong, Li Ang directly spoke out and denounced those malicious fans.
Although Li Ang did not release more opinions on this matter later, or to support his former teammates.
But his timely statement of standing up for the team still prevented the public opinion of this matter from fermenting to the point where both clubs felt troubled and embarrassed.
Real Madrid fans were in tears again.
Sure enough, he is still their own child!
Even though he was forced to leave by Chelsea with a penalty, his temperament was exactly the same as before when he went to England.
He is straightforward and honest, and he is not afraid of offending people.
Chelsea fans also clearly stood on Li Ang's side in this public opinion storm.
Professional players with outstanding strength, diligence, and loyalty will quickly be loved by local fans no matter which team they go to.
After the public opinion storm subsided this time, Chelsea's topic heat in European football has obviously increased a few points.
With the media's keen attention, Chelsea players only rested for three days before they faced their first Champions League opponent of the season at Stamford Bridge.
Although Chelsea failed to qualify from the Champions League group stage last season and eventually lost to Atletico Madrid in the Europa League final.
But with its good European performance in recent seasons, Chelsea was finally firmly placed in the first tier of the Champions League teams.
The teams in the same tier as them include Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Porto.
Yes, in the absence of changes to the Champions League tier rules, the teams participating in the Champions League are still divided into tiers based on their European points in the past five years.
So now fans can still see Arsenal being placed in the first tier of the Champions League, while Juventus, who won the Serie A title last season, is placed in the second tier of the Champions League.
Chelsea's luck in the Champions League group draw this year is still good.
The second tier opponent drawn is Schalke 04, and the third tier opponent is Basel from the Swiss League.
Manchester United's luck in the draw is also OK. Among the group opponents, only Leverkusen may need to pay more attention.
If Shakhtar Donetsk does not take advantage of the weather, it is not the opponent of the current Manchester United.
As for Real Sociedad, which is playing in the Champions League for the first time in so many years.
It is basically an experience baby.
Without much experience in European wars, want to become a big dark horse?
That's really too difficult.
In comparison, Arsenal is the most uncomfortable among the four Premier League giants.
Although Manchester City was classified as the third-tier team in the Champions League this year, there is only one Bayern Munich in the group they were assigned to, which is more difficult to play.
The remaining CSKA Moscow and Victory Plzen are all free-point boys.
Today is different from the past. Guardiola has made preliminary changes to Manchester City.
The disobedient Yaya Toure directly became a rotation here. He is not as easy to talk to as Mancini before.
The brilliant Champions League results he achieved when coaching Barcelona also gave Manchester City players and fans a lot of confidence.
In comparison, Arsenal, which was originally classified as a first-tier team in the Champions League, was extremely unlucky!
When drawing second-tier opponents, Arsenal drew Marseille. Was this a good draw?
But the most outrageous thing was that when drawing third- and fourth-tier opponents, Arsenal's luck exploded, and they directly drew Dortmund and Naples, the most difficult teams in the third and fourth tiers!
So Arsenal, as a first-tier team in the Champions League, directly became the boss of the first death group of this year's Champions League!
The key is that among the remaining three younger brothers, he seems to be able to only steadily control Marseille.
The remaining two monsters don't seem to be easy to mess with!
Manchester United and Manchester City, who have already made their debut in the Champions League, have already made a good start in their new season of the Champions League.
So now the pressure is on Chelsea and Arsenal, the two London teams.
Compared with Chelsea's first round home game against Basel, Arsenal's first round away game against Marseille obviously attracted more attention from the English media.
On the evening of September 18, Chelsea and Arsenal's Champions League games started at the same time.
What was unexpected by all British media and Premier League fans was that Chelsea's game progress was almost the same as Arsenal's!
Arsenal played against Marseille, and they needed to spend more time competing with Marseille for control of the midfield in the first half, which is understandable to the fans.
But you Chelsea also failed to control the rhythm of the game, and Basel seized the opportunity to launch threatening counterattacks many times.
This is really incomprehensible to Premier League fans and media!
Well, even if Chelsea rotated the lineup today, and even Li Ang did not start, this stalemate should not have occurred!
Calculating the value, even if it is a rotation, the starting players on Chelsea's side are enough to buy several teams of Basel players.
Mourinho stood on the sidelines, looking quite dissatisfied with the development of the game.
Today, Oscar and Van Ginkel's starting partnership seems to be relatively compatible.
Van Ginkel controls the rhythm of the midfield and backcourt, organizes the dispatch, and Oscar seizes the opportunity to launch an attack in the frontcourt.
Two young talented midfielders, one in front and one in the back, plus Essien's connection and defensive protection.
No matter how you look at it, this configuration is enough to suppress Basel's midfield power.
It's a pity that Oscar frequently took the ball at the beginning today, trying to quickly break through Basel's midfield defense.
The result was that he repeatedly lost the ball and let Basel fight back.
Mourinho can understand Oscar's eagerness to prove himself after losing his starting position.
But understanding is understanding, Mourinho doesn't like Oscar's impulsive way of breaking his own tactical layout without authorization.
Oscar would not be replaced directly at this moment, but appropriate roars and beatings were inevitable.
Oscar, who had been idle for nearly 20 minutes, heard Mourinho's angry shouting on the sidelines, and his disconnected brain immediately reconnected to reason.
Knowing that he had made a mistake, the Brazilian midfielder did not dare to provoke the madman's temper again.
He honestly returned the ball to Van Ginkel, who was organizing with Essien in the backcourt.
However, Li Ang, who was sitting on the bench at this moment, frowned but did not relax.
His eyes were still fixed on the two players in the Basel team.
One was a short winger with fluffy curly short hair, and the other was a medium-sized goalkeeper who was standing in front of the Basel goal and calmly observing the development of Chelsea's offensive.
And just six minutes later, the medium-sized goalkeeper in front of the Basel goal contributed a great save!
His super-fast reaction blocked Torres's shot in the penalty area!
When the short winger that Li Ang had observed before began to move forward decisively, Li Ang immediately felt something was wrong.
"Salah started, very fast! Wozer sent a long pass! Oh--!!! Beautiful change of direction! Salah avoided Essien... He cut inside! Shoot--!!!"
The Sky Sports commentator seemed to be excited with Salah's series of wonderful personal performances!
When Salah kicked a beautiful arc ball with his left foot and broke through the goal guarded by Cech, the entire Stamford Bridge stadium was incredibly quiet!
The commentators from various countries who were commenting on this Champions League match also passionately started their celebration mode that did not require breathing!
Mourinho was really angry this time. After he shook off the mineral water in his hand, he went back to the bench cursing.
A Swiss league team broke the door first at Stamford Bridge, and it seems that Chelsea still has little way to deal with this team?
Mourinho sneered a few times, and half a minute later, Li Ang, who had taken off his vest, stood up while nodding during Mourinho's tactical explanation.
Chelsea fans who saw this scene were also certain in their hearts.
The car is in danger!
Please ask the little lion to warm up and save the day!
Try to post the second update before midnight, and the third update before 3 a.m.
The state is broken, so I can only grind hard. I will definitely grind out this 15,000!
