Chapter 205: In London, We Can’t Lose to Tottenham! [Please Subscribe! ]

Since entering the professional arena, Li Ang has played in many derby matches.

He has played in the Madrid derby, the Spanish national derby, and even the Milan derby.

In comparison, the "London derby" seems to be a little less explosive.

But this may also be related to the fact that there are too many English professional teams in London.

Are the fans divided? There are too many "London derbies" to watch in a year, which has seriously lowered the sense of expectation.

For example, the London derby that Chelsea will play against Fulham in the next round actually did not receive much expectation from neutral fans.

There are probably only three derby matches in London that can arouse widespread interest among fans.

The North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

The London derby between Arsenal and Chelsea.

And the London derby between Tottenham and Chelsea.

Li Ang is somewhat aware of the hostile relationship between the fan groups of Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham.

In comparison, the relationship between Chelsea and Arsenal is actually not so bad.

There is a strong smell of gunpowder during the game, but at the club level, the transfer of players has never stopped.

But it is different with Tottenham. It is not just the mutual hostility between the fan groups, but also frequent fights.

In the transfer of a team of players, Chelsea and Tottenham have basically had no dealings.

If it comes to Chelsea's "ancient development history", there is even more blood and tears history about players between them and Tottenham.

At least for the current evaluation of Tottenham in the Chelsea locker room, Li Ang can only say that he has foreseen the hot scene when playing against Tottenham in the sixth round of the Premier League.

He will definitely not retreat. What is humility and civilization in the derby? That is to betray the supporters of his own team.

Li Ang can only maintain his principle of not actively hurting others, and at the confrontation level, he will naturally hit hard.

And there is a Fulham team that can let Li Ang practice his hands and feel the intensity of the gunpowder-like London derby first.

On the afternoon of September 21, the starting players of Chelsea and Fulham, who had completed the warm-up, returned to the locker room to make final tactical preparations.

Mourinho repeatedly emphasized in the locker room that they must have sufficient psychological awareness to face the confrontational actions of Fulham players.

At first, Li Ang thought he had made sufficient psychological preparations.

But in the first minute after the game officially started, he was tripped directly on the grass by Fulham midfielder Skasami with an unconventional defensive action!

Just as Li Ang was still thinking about whether he and this Swiss brother named Kasami had any conflicts in the past.

Terry had already rushed up and confronted the tall Kasami with an angry curse!

There was a conflict in the first minute of the opening, and countless neutral fans watching the game were very excited!

Li Ang also reacted at this time. It turned out that the lack of gunpowder in Lampard's mouth was this level of confrontation...

Without anyone to guide him, Li Ang thought he had controlled the scale of the confrontation in this London derby.

But he didn't know that this was just a provocative means for the young Swiss midfielder Kasami to get more attention.

Or it's because people who are popular have more troubles.

Li Ang's popularity in the Premier League is now bursting day by day.

Kasami, a young man who has just established a foothold in Fulham, thinks that his confrontation ability is outstanding.

If he can get some outstanding confrontation shots in the match with Li Ang, then he may get more attention from the Premier League teams.

However, he still underestimated the protection of Li Ang by the veterans in the Chelsea team.

Facing Terry's roaring figure, Kasami only resisted for less than a second, and then pushed Terry away from the heart, and then looked for an opportunity to get to the referee.

Scott Parker and Hangeland, the Premier League veterans, didn't care to scold their own young boys.

They hurried forward to stop Terry, so that the Premier League defender could calm down first.

Terry finally looked at Kasami fiercely for the sake of his former teammate Parker, and then slowly walked to his own half.

Lampard covered his mouth and told Leon that it was all right, but he turned around and complained to the referee.

Leon watched his captain and vice-captain handle the situation, and couldn't help but silently give them a thumbs up in his heart.

One was a bully, and the other was reasonable.

The referee basically negotiated with Lampard in the end, and didn't say much about Terry and Kasami almost causing a conflict.

Leon was quite satisfied with the referee's final verbal warning to Kasami.

But he wanted to get back the ground he lost.

So after the game resumed, Leon didn't care, and he stared at Kasami in a one-on-one fight when defending!

He didn't care what Kasami's mentality was when he was hit at the beginning of the game. When had he suffered such a loss on the court?

Just because he never hurt people actively, and his style of play seemed clean and honest?

Then Kasami is not bullying honest people!

Can Leon indulge him? !

Kasami, who is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 87 kilograms, was very confident at the beginning.

He definitely doesn't have the guts to fight Terry, not to mention whether he can win the confrontation on the field, just in terms of Premier League qualifications, how dare he, a Premier League rookie, fight with Terry?

Terry doesn't even need to deal with him, Parker and Hangeland will deal with him first when they return to the locker room after the game.

But against Leon, Kasami feels that he is at least completely good in the confrontation on the field.

But before he could last for 20 minutes, Kasami was tortured to death by Leon's defense!

Leon's confrontation has never been a one-shot deal. He pursues sustainable defensive torture, entanglement and entanglement, which means both entanglement and fighting.

Compared with Leon, Kasami's tonnage is actually not much different, that is, there is a difference of a few centimeters in height. In static confrontation, the two are really the same.

It may be that Leon's less bloated figure gave Kasami an illusion at the beginning.

Now that he has personally experienced Leon's actual confrontation ability, Kasami has actually begun to regret it.

But that's not all. Li Ang was able to fight Diego Costa on equal terms in La Liga.

Now using some small moves to deal with Kasami. That's nothing.

So after another five minutes, Kasami's legs went limp when he saw Li Ang showing signs of raising his arm!

Whoever gets hit by this iron elbow is afraid!

Anyway, Kasami felt that he couldn't stand it after getting hit by two elbows.

In the end, the referee couldn't stand it anymore and verbally warned Li Ang to restrain his movements.

Li Ang showed a harmless smile and nodded to indicate that he understood.

But after this torture and blow, Kasami no longer had much of the courage to confront Li Ang.

This guy played as a front midfielder, or a second striker in this game.

When he softened, Fulham's offensive in the frontcourt basically required Darren Bent to pull out of the penalty area as a fulcrum.

And when Fulham deployed their formations on both wings and wanted to play a cross attack, there was only one Darren Bent in the penalty area.

Kasami looked at Terry's eager eyes and felt that he was better at supporting his teammates outside the penalty area.

His play was equivalent to leaving all the dirty work to Darren Benn alone. Fulham had no chance to attack!

In stark contrast to Fulham's misfire, Chelsea's offensive rhythm on both wings was stronger than the other!

How could Sasharit and Duff, Fulham's right-wing partner, withstand the successive attacks of Hazard and Bertrand?

In the first half, Li Ang was busy dealing with and torturing Kasami, so he did not participate too much in the attack.

But Lampard, who took over the offensive responsibility on his shoulders, was still in good shape.

In the 31st minute of the first half, Lampard received a short pass from Ibrahimovic in front of the penalty area, shot and shot, and was the first to penetrate Fulham's goal!

After losing the ball, Fulham did not directly launch an active forward attack.

They were very rational and dragged the score of 0-1 to the halftime break.

At the beginning of the second half, Fulham replaced Kasami, who had been doing nothing in the first half, with the technical midfielder Tarabut.

When Li Ang saw that the Swiss big guy was not on the court, he felt very disappointed.

So at the beginning of the second half, he changed his target again and tortured Tarabut severely!

And seeing that the game time was running out, his offense still had no improvement.

Dutch coach Martin Jol was also anxious.

Fulham had to take the initiative to launch an offensive frenzy after the 65th minute of the second half.

And Chelsea also waited patiently enough and waited for their favorite counterattack rhythm!

Mourinho first replaced De Bruyne with Lukaku, and then signaled Li Ang, who had defended enough, to take the position premise.

In the 75th minute of the second half, it was thanks to Li Ang's speeding forward on the counterattack that Chelsea quickly broke through Fulham's empty midfield.

Li Ang's diagonal straight pass with enough advance allowed Lukaku to directly break through Fulham's left defense!

After cutting into Fulham's penalty area, Lukaku was very sensible and passed the ball back to Li Ang.

Li Ang saw that Hazard was already in an unattended area due to Ibrahimovic's running position, and he did not hesitate to pass the ball again!

And Hazard did not live up to Li Ang's trust. After a slight adjustment, he kicked and shot from the left side of Fulham's penalty area.

He killed the suspense of the game with a beautiful arc ball!

2-0!

With less than 20 minutes left in the game, this score was already relatively safe.

Mourinho did not greedily make more substitutions and directly replaced the two goalscorers Lampard and Hazard with Matic and Gary Cahill.

And Chelsea also changed the formation and played 5-3-2.

In front of the three central defenders, Matic, Li Ang, and Ramires lined up.

Well, it's still the last moment to put three midfielders.

Now it's not just the fans of the Premier League who are complaining, the La Liga fans who occasionally watch the Premier League games can't help but complain.

After all, in the past two years, almost every La Liga team has been severely tortured by Mourinho's Real Madrid with this trick.

But it must be said that if you change your perspective and watch your own team win the victory so steadily, the feeling will naturally change from uncomfortable to extremely comfortable~

For example, Chelsea fans feel very comfortable at this moment.

This feeling of winning the game that should be won is simply too great!

In the last round, Chelsea reversed Basel, which made them feel very excited and excited.

But if there is a choice, they would rather win every game so "boringly" than watch their own team reverse and win in fear.

When the score of this game was fixed at 2-0 and the curtain fell, Chelsea's winning streak in the Premier League also reached five games smoothly!

After the first five rounds of the Premier League, Premier League fans were surprised to find that the top three teams in the Premier League were actually the top three in London!

Chelsea won all five games and accumulated 15 points, currently ranking first in the Premier League.

Arsenal and Tottenham ranked second and third in the Premier League, and both teams had four wins and one loss.

However, Arsenal temporarily ranked second in the Premier League because of the advantage of a goal difference.

Manchester City and Liverpool are ranked fourth and fifth in the Premier League, and Southampton, which currently has two wins, two draws and one loss, ranks sixth.

The current ranking still cannot explain too many problems, after all, the sample of the game is still too small.

However, a large number of Premier League fans have also eagerly discussed the reasons why the three London teams started this season in good form.

Needless to say, Chelsea, with Mourinho's return and Abramovich's huge investment, has dug up two midfield gods, Li Ang and Ibrahimovic, and it is natural to achieve results.

Tottenham also completed a large-scale signing and reorganized the team's age structure by selling Bale for 100 million euros.

In general, the blood transfusion is relatively successful.

At least it seems so at present.

Arsenal's transformation this season is somewhat beyond the expectations of Premier League fans.

Speaking of signings, Wenger has indeed spent a lot of money this season.

But the players he introduced are only Cavani and the old midfielder Toulalan from Malaga.

But with one player added to the midfield and one player added to the front line, you can't help but think that Arsenal's game looks smoother and more aggressive than last season!

Toulalan is indeed over 30 years old, but the strength of this French midfielder is not weak at all.

In just one game, the double midfielder combination of Toulalan and Arteta has raised the hardness of Arsenal's midfield to a higher level!

In the past, Premier League fans criticized Arsenal, saying that the Gunners are more offensive than defensive.

Especially in the midfield and backcourt, let Arteta protect the front of the penalty area? That's bullshit!

A good backcourt organizing core, after coming to Arsenal, he had to support the midfield defense.

This support has been for two years, which can only be said to be hard work.

The arrival of Toulalan not only helped Arteta share most of the defensive pressure, but also helped Arteta share part of the organization and ball distribution tactical tasks.

Arteta's burden on his shoulders is lighter, and his performance is getting better and better.

In the first five Premier League games of the new season, Arteta played in all games and also had three assists. His efficiency was so high that it was frightening! After coming to the Premier League, Cavani only used the first Premier League game to adapt to the rhythm. From the second league game, he had personal offensive data in every game. Three goals and one assist in five league games! Cavani's outstanding performance made many Arsenal fans gradually forget the pain of Van Persie's departure from Highbury. With two signings, Arsenal almost jumped from the strength of competing for the top four to the threshold of being qualified to compete for the championship! Wenger's work in this summer window has also won the heartfelt praise of many fans. Now, what Premier League fans are most eager to see is of course the clash between Chelsea and Arsenal, the two London powerhouses. However, before the two teams meet, it would be nice to see the explosive competition between Chelsea and Tottenham. At the Cobham training base, Terry has completed the pre-war mobilization with all Chelsea players. His mobilization slogan is also very rough and simple:

In London, we can lose to anyone but we can never lose to XXX's Tottenham!
