Chapter 209 Li Ang Wants to Achieve Double 10 Data in Half a Season [Please Subscribe! ]

Li Ang was watching the game of the Belgian national team that night.

So when he saw Lukaku taking a photo of his bald head in front of the camera, he was immediately happy.

Earlier, Lukaku's image was not good in Li Ang's eyes.

In the future, he and Chelsea could barely be considered to be pitted against each other, but it was really unkind of him to pit Inter Milan's brother.

He was just one person saying one thing and another behind the scenes, which was completely different from the personality that Li Ang liked.

However. After meeting Pogba and getting familiar with him, Li Ang felt that he had grown up in this aspect.

Of course, he felt that Pogba and Lukaku were both annoying in the future, but now these two guys were just little brats who wanted to get close to him and had good intentions.

Li Ang felt that it was inappropriate to deny a person's present because of what he might do in the future and his three views that might go astray.

If the things he remembered really happened in the future, he would slowly distance himself from these two people later.

Now, he felt that he could influence the two of them more in his daily words and deeds, and help them fix their normal three views.

It is unrealistic to completely change a person, but now they are in the same team, Lukaku likes to be close to him and is willing to listen to him.

Li Ang felt that he could still help this inferior guy who had a mess of future career planning and might change his personality in the end.

"I am such a kind and good teammate~"

Li Ang was shamelessly praising himself.

As a result, Lukaku in the live camera quickly pulled the side and rushed, assisting De Bruyne to shoot from the penalty area line in the first half stoppage time!

This ball was played beautifully, and Lukaku who rushed up did indeed make the Croatian full-back helpless.

But Li Ang still smiled and shook his head with some discomfort.

"This time he really became a professional winger..."

※※※

On the afternoon of October 17, the Chelsea first-team players who had completed the national team games rushed to the Cobham training base and underwent a detailed physical examination.

Lukaku, who scored two goals and one assist in two games in this World Cup qualifier, seemed to be in a very good mood.

But Mourinho was not in a good mood at the moment.

Especially when he got the physical examination report from the team doctor and saw that Lampard and Ashley Cole were recommended to rest in the next league game.

Mourinho and the Chelsea coaching staff couldn't stop sighing.

If the current head coach of England was someone else, Mourinho might have scolded him directly.

But for the current head coach of England, Mr. Huo, Mourinho could only smile bitterly.

It's not easy to lead the England national team now. There is a serious gap in talent.

If there were enough young players in the new generation, Mr. Huo would not have to fleece the two old guys, Lampard and Ashley Cole...

After explaining a few words for Mr. Huo in his heart, Mourinho had to face the reality.

If Lampard and Ashley Cole were to rest, then Bertrand and Matic would have to start in the next round of the league between Chelsea and Cardiff City.

When circling Matic's name, Mourinho suddenly remembered that Ivanovic also played two consecutive games in the international match calendar last week.

So he simply circled Azpilicueta's name.

Now it's good, and several veterans who have just finished playing in the national team games in the team will be given a holiday.

Terry should have been on holiday, after all, his current level is still at the top of the football world.

His partnership with Ferdinand can still continue to escort the England national team.

Unfortunately, after a dispute with Ferdinand Jr., Terry officially announced his withdrawal from the England national team in September this year.

So now Terry and Li Ang are the same. When others are playing for the national team, they are resting, receiving physical therapy or doing extra training.

For Mourinho, Terry's condition and physical condition are not a problem, which is one of the rare good news at present.

With Cech, Terry and Li Ang who can retreat at any time in the backcourt, Mourinho immediately relaxed.

Ibrahimovic must also take a rest, but Lukaku played so well in this World Cup qualifier, and it seems that he feels good to score goals.

It's just a game against Cardiff City in the next round. It seems that there is a way to use Lukaku as the main attacker...

When Mourinho thought of this, he also had a plan in his mind.

In the formal training that started the next morning, Lukaku was very surprised to wear the training vest representing the main team.

And Mourinho also suited his appetite, allowing him to play freely on the offensive end, and not forcing him to fight with the defenders in the penalty area.

Such tactical freedom also surprised other Chelsea players.

But on second thought, their opponent in the next round is Cardiff City, the newly promoted team in the league.

It is reasonable to let Lukaku play a game when Ibrahimovic is resting.

After all, if Lukaku can really play like he did in the national team, it will be easy to beat Cardiff City.

The complete training takes only one day.

On the morning of October 19, all Chelsea players flew to Cardiff City in Wales.

As a newly promoted team this season, Cardiff City's performance so far has exceeded the expectations of the media and a large number of Premier League fans.

In the first seven league games, they won two games, drew three games and lost two games, and are currently ranked 12th in the Premier League standings.

Such results are enough to make the players of Cardiff City proud.

So even if they have to face Chelsea, the current Premier League leader, in this round, the whole team of Cardiff City, who has the advantage of home court, has high morale.

So when Chelsea's players came out, Li Ang, who was the most famous in the starting lineup today, naturally received a warm "greeting" from Cardiff City fans.

Li Ang didn't feel uncomfortable with this familiar booing.

In the live camera, he just smiled and raised his eyebrows, still looking very calm and confident.

While the players of the two teams lined up to walk through the pre-match ceremony, the Sky Sports commentator was also praising Li Ang's performance throughout September.

Although on October 14, the English Football Association officially announced that the best player of the Premier League in September was Arsenal No. 7 Cavani.

Cavani scored four goals and one assist in the four Premier League games in September, and helped Arsenal win four consecutive league victories.

But Li Ang also helped Chelsea win all three Premier League games in September, and the data was also very good, two goals and two assists.

So in terms of contribution to the team's victory and personal performance, Li Ang is actually not inferior to Cavani.

But forwards always have some advantages if they score enough goals in this kind of selection, and Cavani is also a new player like Li Ang, so the meaning of the Premier League to divide the cake is obvious.

However, the Sky Sports commentator's love for Li Ang is obvious today.

Even though Li Ang did not get any personal data in the last round of the league tie with Norwich, the commentator is still very optimistic about Li Ang's performance in today's game.

And Cardiff City's young coach Malky Mackay is also quite afraid of Li Ang.

The players and fans of Cardiff City can be full of confidence, but Mackay always keeps a clear mind.

In order to limit Li Ang's performance, he even arranged a three-midfielder formation today.

Unlike the fans who advocated winning in front of the media before the game, this young coach still looks down-to-earth, and it is obvious that he is going to keep the tie.

Mourinho still appreciates this young but down-to-earth coach.

But this does not prevent him from taking a heavy hand today and taking away a hearty three points at Cardiff City's home!

Chelsea, who adopted a 4-3-3 starting formation, actively pressed forward as a whole from the start of the game, looking for offensive opportunities and loopholes in Cardiff City's defense.

Today, Li Ang, who served as the starting central midfielder with Oscar, still controlled the team's offensive ball rights.

How to choose the offensive direction, which route to use as the main attacking side, and which offensive player gets more ball rights are all decided by him.

In the face of Cardiff City's defensive bus, Li Ang also decisively asked Oscar to cooperate with him to pull Cardiff City's central defense and provide offensive cover for teammates on both wings.

He doesn't care much about whether to be the main attacker.

Oscar saw this and could only follow Li Ang's rhythm, watching Hazard and De Bruyne constantly attacking on both sides.

The Brazilian offensive player didn't know that Li Ang was thinking about him at this moment.

Li Ang didn't have any impression of most of the players in Cardiff City now.

But in Cardiff City's midfield, there is a short defensive midfielder who is also an old acquaintance of Li Ang.

Chilean Bull Gary Medel

Yes, Cardiff City broke the team's record this summer by signing Medel from Sevilla for £11 million.

So Li Ang met an old rival in La Liga again today.

Li Ang is quite convinced of Medel's strength.

Don't think that he seemed to have won against Medel in the matchup last season.

At that time, he also had the intention of deliberately angering Medel, which made the opponent carry a yellow card in advance and be replaced early.

Now in the Premier League, a league that encourages physical confrontation between players, it is not so easy for Medel to get a card.

Li Ang is not afraid of entanglement with Medel, but if Oscar controls the offensive ball at this moment, then this guy may be targeted by Medel.

So it is safer to play on the wing.

Compared with Cardiff City's heavy troops and the middle road guarded by strong players, their wing players seem to be mediocre.

This is indeed true, at least in one-on-one defense, whether it is Cardiff City's right winger Whittingham or their right back Catlin.

Both were quickly defeated by Hazard's skills.

Hazard, who has already scored two goals and three assists in the Premier League, is full of confidence.

As long as there is no problem with his own form, basically no Premier League right back dares to guarantee that he can limit his performance.

Cardiff City's right back Catlin, who was introduced from Ligue 1 this summer, is not particularly familiar with the rhythm of the Premier League, and he is also a heavy full-back!

When Li Ang came on the court, he had already paid attention to this black defender who looked very strong and even a little bloated.

If Cardiff City uses him as a central defender, the effect may be better, but playing as a full-back is a bit clumsy.

Hazard just likes this kind of opponent who is a beat slower in reaction and speed.

Catlin is very strong and seems to have outstanding interception ability in the front.

But Hazard didn't engage in any static entanglement with Catlin at all. After rushing up, he could often break through with a change of direction.

After being forced to break through several times, Catlin was a little overwhelmed and had no choice but to call on his teammates for help.

Li Ang was waiting for such an opportunity!

After seeing that Cardiff City's midfield defense had to tilt to their right.

Li Ang directly changed positions with Oscar and asked Oscar to contain Medel.

He himself came behind Hazard to assist.

Hazard, who had already played with a sense of play, was very daring to make moves at this time.

Even if Cardiff City used a double-team defense mode, he was not afraid at all and was often able to force the ball out.

Li Ang was still very patient in defending and protecting Hazard's side.

It looked like the same as before, with little desire to get the ball forward.

Under pressure from defense, Cardiff City had to expand its defense line and began to actively press Hazard and other Chelsea offensive players.

If there is a rush, there will be gaps and even loopholes in their own defense.

In the 25th minute of the first half, Hazard's personal performance was still not over.

His agile dribbling and passing performance caused exclamations from Cardiff fans in the Cardiff City Stadium.

But after passing Whittingham again, Hazard did not continue to go deep into Cardiff City's half like he did several times before, looking for opportunities to cut inside or cross from the bottom.

Because Li Ang decisively raised his hand to ask for the ball!

And Hazard did not hesitate much. After passing Whittingham, he knocked the ball to Li Ang who suddenly rushed forward!

Oscar and De Bruyne on the right followed Li Ang almost at the same time.

But at this moment, Li Ang did not pass the ball to the two people who had attracted the attention of most of the Cardiff City defenders.

He ran through them and sent a concealed and fast over-the-top pass!

Lukaku, who had been running horizontally before, also suddenly rushed forward!

The moment Li Ang's over-the-top pass landed in the right area of ​​the Cardiff City penalty area, Lukaku also accelerated and overtook Turner, the left center back of Cardiff City who had been marking him before!

Taking advantage of the situation, he knocked the ball with his right foot and cut inside. Lukaku aimed at the near corner of the Cardiff City goal and shot directly in the penalty area!

Cardiff City goalkeeper Marshall bet on the direction of Lukaku's shot at this moment.

But his goal line technology was still a step behind, and he did not make a great save before the ball crossed the line!

The football almost rubbed the grass and hit the net, lifting the white net high!

When thousands of Chelsea fans cheered passionately at the scene.

Li Ang looked at Lukaku, who was pointing at him and running towards him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face!

Including this assist, he has now scored five goals and six assists in Chelsea's three-tier competitions!

Ambition is spreading and growing!

Li Ang also made up his mind at this moment!

Before the end of the first half of this season, he will achieve a personal data of double ten!
