Chapter 213: First Hat Trick in Career! [Please Subscribe! ]
"What a shitty defense!"
As the new season of the Premier League progresses, Guardiola, who was always described by the media as gentle and easy-going, has also become more irritable.
When he saw that Manchester City's defense collectively retreated into the penalty area, causing Li Ang to be unguarded at the top of the penalty area and kick the ball calmly, Guardiola had already cursed!
And seeing that Joe Hart had completely jumped in the wrong direction, Manchester City was penetrated by Li Ang early.
Guardiola sighed to the sky, shook his head angrily, and returned to the coaching seat anxiously.
The Manchester City players on the bench did not dare to breathe loudly at this moment, for fear that the tyrant on the training ground and in the locker room would appear on the field.
"I have said countless times before the game, you must pay attention to Li Ang! You must pay attention to Li Ang! Why do they always ignore my words?!"
Guardiola was still angry about the result of being penetrated by Li Ang.
Because Li Ang is not Chelsea's x-factor. On the contrary, Li Ang has always been the Chelsea player that Guardiola emphasized the most to be vigilant and restrict!
Despite such emphasis before the game, Manchester City's defensive players still ignored Li Ang.
This is the fundamental reason for Guardiola's sudden rage.
His assistant wanted to speak rationally and persuade him at this moment.
After all, judging from the process of the ball just lost, at the moment when De Bruyne kicked the ball, there were as many as three Chelsea offensive players in the Manchester City penalty area.
In that case, the first reaction of the defensive players must be to shrink back to the penalty area to prevent Chelsea from forming an offensive strong side in the local area of the penalty area.
After all, no one has opened their eyes to know that De Bruyne's ball was actually a long horizontal pass!
If you have to say who made a bigger defensive mistake in this ball loss, then Guardiola should actually blame Fabregas.
Because Fabregas didn't expect that Li Ang, who fell into the second echelon of the attack, would finally get De Bruyne's pass.
So he didn't have time to interfere with Li Ang's defense.
But looking at Guardiola who was still angry at the moment, his assistant finally chose to shut up rationally.
"Let Samir (Nasri) and Jesus (Navas) retreat to the midline area first!
Mourinho concentrated his defensive strength to destroy our half-court organization, so we will put more game-breakers in our own half!
Go on the ground, you must go on the ground! Don't kick the ball if you can avoid it..."
Guardiola was angry at the moment, but after drawing a few rough abstract lines on the tactical board, he still gave a clear tactical adjustment.
Manchester City's assistant coach also joined the quick discussion and gave his own fine-tuning opinions.
So Guardiola finally conveyed the tactical instructions to Manchester City players, which was two wingers retreating and two full-backs pressing forward!
In this way, Nasri and Jesus Navas responded in time on both sides of Fabregas's front.
And on both sides of his horizontal line, there were Clichy and the current Premier League's first right back Zabaleta to support.
Manchester City's half-court organization area will have a huge number advantage of up to 7 or even 8 people!
Don't forget that in Guardiola's tactics, the central defender is not only responsible for defense. What Pique can do, Kompany can do now.
Guardiola was also very determined to take the initiative in controlling the ball in this game, even if he had to temporarily sacrifice the offensive development for this.
But what he didn't expect was that Mourinho was also making urgent tactical adjustments at this moment.
And the direction of the adjustment was to let all Chelsea players shrink their defense and stick to the half!
In other words, Chelsea will take the initiative to end the defensive pressure on Manchester City's half.
Leon's position retreated.
Lampard and Matic formed a double defensive midfielder, and Chelsea changed from the obvious 433 formation when they scored just now to 4231 in an instant!
So after the game resumed, the players on the field of Manchester City and Guardiola had the same idea in their hearts.
They were teased by Mourinho!
After all, Chelsea shrank their formation after taking a one-goal lead, and did not actively press Manchester City's half.
Then why did Manchester City call so many players back to their own half?
In desperation, Manchester City could only spread out their formation again, control the ball and patiently siege Chelsea who was returning to the half.
Until this moment, the trend of the game was consistent with the media's expectations before the game.
Manchester City focused on attacking and controlling the ball, while Chelsea focused on defending and counterattacking.
But at this moment, when Chelsea already had a one-goal lead, Manchester City's ball control could not make Chelsea's players and fans anxious.
Correspondingly, after Chelsea shrank back, the counterattack that could be launched at any time made Manchester City's fans feel panic all the time!
Li Ang, who had already scored a goal, had suppressed his excitement at this moment.
In other words, he had transformed this excitement into a more powerful driving force.
He didn't know why he was always eager to do something "destructive" when he played against Guardiola's team.
Whether it was offense or defense, he wanted to achieve more unexpected success on both ends.
At this moment, when Chelsea turned to the defensive end, Li Ang also knew that there were reliable teammates behind him to clean up the mess.
He himself began to entangle one Manchester City offensive player after another with his outstanding defensive positioning and abundant physical strength.
This style of play was the same as Khedira, who had Li Ang and Xabi Alonso to clean up the mess.
But Li Ang was not like Khedira, who had a seemingly strong body, but in fact his defensive confrontation ability was not that outstanding.
And in terms of positioning and defensive skills, Li Ang was much better than the face brother at the time.
At least for the Manchester City offensive players at the moment, Li Ang had completely crossed their offensive route, which made them feel very headache.
Fortunately, there are no offensive rookies in Manchester City.
There was a Yaya Toure who was very unhappy with Li Ang before, but he has been pressed on the bench by Guardiola.
So the Manchester City players on the field did not have the intention to challenge Li Ang.
They passed the ball very quickly, and basically bypassed Li Ang's defense to launch the offensive.
This ensured the continuity of Manchester City's offense and control of the ball, but greatly dragged down Manchester City's offensive efficiency.
Because they always played around, and Li Ang's range of activities was too large and his physical strength was too abundant.
Manchester City's offensive players soon found that no matter how they went around, Li Ang would basically participate in the defense of their current attack!
This is a real situation that hit the morale of the entire Manchester City team.
If they were more patient, Manchester City could rely on their technical advantages to constantly wear down the defensive will of the entire Chelsea team and also wear down Li Ang's physical strength.
But at this moment, Manchester City was the lagging side. No matter how patient they were, they could not be as patient as Chelsea, who was leading by one goal and had the home advantage!
So after almost 20 minutes of siege and penetration, there was no offensive effect.
Not to mention the Manchester City players on the field, even Guardiola on the sidelines began to get impatient.
Because Chelsea is at home today, the home whistle is an inevitable advantage.
For Chelsea, who are currently defending, the existence of the home whistle is naturally more conducive to their physical confrontation with Manchester City players.
The looser whistle made the trend of the game more and more rough, because Chelsea did not want to play any technical confrontation with Manchester City.
Guardiola was very dissatisfied with this, but he was still more rational and restrained his emotions at this moment.
After all, if even the existence of the home whistle is questioned, it seems that he can't afford to play.
But he was stable, and after half an hour of "torture", the Manchester City players on the field gradually caught up with Chelsea's rhythm.
Their movements became bigger and bigger, and their tempers became more and more irritable.
Among them, Aguero and Nasri almost became the typical examples of irritability in Manchester City.
In the 36th minute of the first half, Nasri, who wanted to speed up, made a two-on-one cooperation with David Silva and went straight to the top of Chelsea's penalty area!
Matic didn't tolerate him.
Manchester City had been patient before, and they didn't force the front of Chelsea's penalty area when there was no chance.
So Matic also held back for a long time and didn't play any role on the defensive end.
Now he finally encountered an opportunity to play. Matic took the initiative to meet him, and when his long legs stretched out, Nasri didn't have time to change direction!
In the end, not only did he lose the ball, but he also crashed into Matic and fell to the grass!
Just when Aguero subconsciously raised his hand to complain to the referee.
A large number of Chelsea players have rushed to Manchester City's half at full speed like a machine!
After stealing the ball, Matic made a long pass straight to Ibrahimovic who was retreating to the top of the arc in the center circle of Manchester City's half.
Li Ang was still not in the first echelon of Chelsea's attack at this moment.
After Hazard and De Bruyne, Lampard came first, and then he.
But his acceleration was very fast.
When Ibrahimovic controlled the ball and passed the ball back to Lampard with his back, Li Ang had already accelerated and surpassed Lampard's position!
Facing the defense of Fernandinho who was lagging behind at this moment, Lampard did not make any two-on-one cooperation with Li Ang.
He simply pushed the ball to Hazard who was running wildly on the left!
"Pay attention to the top of the penalty area!"
Guardiola didn't dare to delay the reminder this time, and he shouted early to his disciples to pay attention to the protection of the top of the penalty area.
After all, if Hazard learns from De Bruyne to make another low cross pass this time.
Then there will be two heavy gunners, Lampard and Leon, in front of the top of the Manchester City penalty area!
Guardiola also had to be vigilant.
Ibrahimovic once again took the lead and rushed into Manchester City's penalty area.
He may still be a tool man this time, but Manchester City's two central defenders did not dare to relax their vigilance against him at all.
The name of a man is the shadow of a tree.
Ibrahimovic can not be the main attacker, but the defensive defenders facing him can't treat him as not being the main attacker.
Just when Ibrahimovic attracted most of Kompany's defensive attention, Leon and Lampard suddenly made a cross-position change in front of Manchester City's penalty area.
Hazard also forcedly used his speed to shake off Zabaleta's defense and kicked the ball to Manchester City's penalty area!
"Hazard's beautiful dribble... kicked and passed the ball! In front of the penalty area!!!"
Accompanied by Zhan Jun's high-pitched angry voice, the Chinese fans are now staring at the front of Manchester City's penalty area!
Before, Li Ang and Lampard were running to the back of the penalty area and the middle of the penalty area respectively.
But the spiritual cross-position change in front of the penalty area allowed Li Ang to run smoothly to the front of Manchester City's penalty area!
Seeing that Li Ang had already rushed up and was about to run to the landing point of the football, Kompany was very anxious!
But he had already been entangled with Ibrahimovic before, and it was too late for him to get away and go to the front point!
Another young Manchester City central defender Nastasic, who had not even stood in position at this moment, collided with Li Ang who had already jumped up!
Nastasic, who had the height advantage, was completely unable to use his full defense at this moment. He did not stand in position in the first step, and he had no initiative in the confrontation.
Adding to his weight disadvantage, Nastasic soon groaned in the air and fell uncontrollably.
However, Li Ang tried his best to control his body balance, and finally completed this header with strength!
Joe Hart did not make any mistakes this time. His reaction was quick and his save was standard, so he finally touched the football!
But only the front part of his palm touched the powerful football!
In the air, he didn't even have time to muster up the muscles of his arms.
The football only slightly changed its flight trajectory, and finally bounced on the inside of Manchester City's goal post and rolled into the net!
"The ball is in!!! The ball is in--!!! Li Ang--!!! Li Ang again!!! Scored twice! Li Ang penetrated the goal guarded by Joe Hart for the second time! Chelsea leads Manchester City 2-0 at home!!!"
Zhan Jun roared with unrestrained passion this time!
In China, there are many fans who have the same passionate behavior as him at this moment!
The scene at Stamford Bridge was instantly crazy!
Like a volcanic eruption, the passionate cheers and screams swept the entire stadium and soared into the sky, with a deafening momentum!
After falling on the grass and rolling around, Li Ang looked at the football that had already fallen into Manchester City's goal, and excitedly climbed up.
He was about to rush to the corner flag area for a handsome slide and kneel celebration.
As a result, he got up and ran two steps, and was directly thrown to the ground by his teammates who roared with excitement!
"You kid has stolen all the limelight today!"
"Damn, good job! Knock over these Manchester people!"
"Another Li Ang! You are going to perform a hat trick today!"
"Here is a hat trick in half a game!"
The noisy voices of his teammates rang in Li Ang's ears almost at the same time, making his head buzz!
After the passionate celebration of men on men finally ended, Li Ang's heart was beating wildly under the constant "incitement" of his teammates.
He scored twice in the first half!
This was the first time in his career that he scored twice in the first half!
There were more than 50 minutes left in the game, was there a hat trick? !
No!
Today was just the right day.
Why didn't he pursue a hat trick?
He scored two goals in the first half, and the team took a 2:0 lead.
He could ask Mourinho for more offensive tactics.
Li Ang made a decision in his heart, but after the game resumed, he still reminded his teammates first.
First, maintain this lead before the end of the first half, and don't let Manchester City steal a goal because of carelessness at the last moment.
And after Manchester City lost the ball for the second time, they did seize the last bit of time before the end of the first half and launched an urgent and fierce offensive!
Li Ang's rare calmness prevented Chelsea's defense from being messy and inconsistent in thinking.
After Terry's last strong header from Silva's cross, the referee blew the whistle to end the half!
Stamford Bridge turned into a sea of celebration at this moment.
And Mourinho was also smiling and hugged his favorite student Li Ang outside the player's tunnel!
Under the live camera, Mourinho covered his mouth and patted Li Ang's head and said something.
And Li Ang then laughed heartily, holding Mourinho's shoulders and walking into the player tunnel together.
The news that Li Ang scored twice in the first half of the match against Manchester City quickly spread throughout the world of football in the 15 minutes of the halftime break!
Many fans who did not pay attention to this game were also shocked after seeing the real-time news and quickly turned on the TV.
They did not wait long before they saw the wonderful animated pictures of Li Ang's two goals on the Internet!
A decisive shot outside the penalty area and a header inside the penalty area!
Both goals showed a full sense of violent aesthetics, and many fans were excited and cheered!
Under the expectation and attention of the public, the second half of the focus battle between Chelsea and Manchester City in the Premier League, which continued to have high ratings, started on time!
Guardiola obviously fully mobilized all Manchester City players during the halftime break.
Their offense was more aggressive and more personal.
I think Guardiola also reacted.
If Chelsea is fighting back and Manchester City is still playing the pass and control game as planned, there will be no hope of a reversal.
It is necessary to play superstar ball at this time.
Silva and Nasri also fully demonstrated their technical advantages in the small space of Chelsea's half.
Their twists and turns plus Jesus Navas's threatening cross after pulling to the side.
Chelsea's penalty area was also in a state of panic after the start of the second half.
Mourinho was also very decisive when he saw this. He directly withdrew Ashley Cole, who was a little behind the opponent's young star, and replaced him with Bertrand.
Li Ang was also staring at David Silva's performance at this time, and he didn't even watch Fabregas.
The experience in Barcelona in the past few seasons has wiped out a lot of Fabregas' dribbling spirit.
In terms of the organization of a team and the improvement of the upper limit, Fabregas is still a big threat now.
But in the local point-to-point breakthrough, Fabregas can no longer become the high-spirited self of the past.
The offensive and defensive tug-of-war between Chelsea and Manchester City has entered the most intense moment of the game.
Ashley Cole knocked down David Silva once before leaving the court.
The confrontation between the two teams has become more intense.
Li Ang did not expect that before he could get stronger, he was knocked to the ground by Aguero in the fight!
This kind of foul is beyond doubt. The referee on duty immediately gave Aguero a yellow gem battle card warning.
Matic, the little Marco, rushed forward very cunningly to provoke Aguero.
If David Silva and Jesus Navas had not been quick to pull the runaway Aguero, the fun on the field would have been a big mess.
Guardiola was gloomy on the sidelines and asked Dzeko to warm up directly.
Such a move instantly made Aguero, who was as angry as a bull just now, instantly wilted.
However, 5 minutes later, Guardiola did not directly replace Aguero with Dzeko.
He actually replaced Jesus Navas with Dzeko and changed to a 442 formation!
Many La Liga fans who saw this scene were also shocked!
My God, Guardiola actually used a high center forward? !
And it seems that he is going to play a high ball pass?
It must be said that this tactical style of play appeared in Guardiola's team, which really shocked all kinds of fans.
But it is not difficult to understand. Guardiola has suffered too many losses from Mourinho in terms of attacking.
Before, there was no such striker available in Barcelona, so Guardiola was stubborn.
Now that he has come to Manchester City, there is a ready-made center forward available, so Guardiola can naturally make some adjustments.
All Manchester City players began to press forward in a big way.
After all, it was already past the 60th minute of the second half. If they didn't attack with all their strength, how could they really expect the goddess of luck to come and give Manchester City two goals?
Chelsea, who had been hiding for almost 20 minutes at the beginning, was also ready to move.
In the 64th minute of the second half, Bertrand grabbed the ball from Aguero who was pulling to the side in the backcourt of Chelsea.
Before Aguero committed a tactical foul on the spot, Bertrand directly poked the ball with his toes to Hazard who was starting to speed up and move forward!
Zabaleta has also learned to be smart. He is rushing to commit a foul when he is on the midline, vowing to keep Hazard in Chelsea's half!
Seeing the bad intentions of Hazard in the opponent's eyes, he decisively knocked the ball horizontally and handed it to Li Ang to do the forward processing.
De Bruyne took advantage of the situation and Ibrahimovic also retreated at the right time.
There are always many Chelsea offensive players united around Li Ang, which also gives Li Ang a good space to pass the ball.
But this time Li Ang did not choose to pass the ball. He buried his head and exerted his strength. He first dribbled the ball past Fabregas who tried to intercept him, and then went straight to Manchester City's penalty area!
The Chelsea fans at the scene were stimulated by Li Ang's actions and cheered again and again!
The rest of Chelsea's offensive players were also very smart and opened their positions to help Li Ang create sufficient space for forward insertion.
Before breaking into Manchester City's penalty area, Li Ang still had to face Fernandinho's one-on-one defense.
Fernandinho also recognized Li Ang at this time. He didn't even look at Ibrahimovic, but stared at Li Ang's offensive choice.
After all, everyone knows that although Li Ang's ball control skills are very good, his dribbling has never been a strong point.
Therefore, Fernandinho was not afraid of Leon forcing his way through him. He had locked his position and was not afraid of Leon forcing his way through. His speed was not slow.
He was more thinking about which way Li Ang would pass the ball.
However, just when Li Ang slowed down his forward speed and faced Fernandinho, Li Ang took the ball and started cycling.
This scene made Fernandinho's eyes widen!
Because Li Ang's dribbling action did not look awkward, on the contrary, Li Ang's dribbling was very smooth, even the simplest cycling action!
This scene gave Fernandinho a bad idea!
"Wouldn't Li Ang really practice dribbling in the past season?! This doesn't make sense? If he practiced it, why didn't he use it before..."
Fernandinho couldn't help but think about it in his mind, and Li Ang suddenly made a move to break through from Fernandinho's left side while cycling!
But at the moment when his ankle quickly flicked the football, Li Ang tightened his waist and abdomen again, flicked the ball and quickly dunked again!
His whole body twisted and he quickly led the ball from Fernandinho's right side!
This dribbling posture is not beautiful, and it can even be said to be a bit awkward.
But it must be said that after two unexpected changes of direction, Li Ang has shaken Fernandinho's position and successfully completed this one-on-one breakthrough!
Just as Guardiola stood up and exclaimed: "He actually broke through!"
Li Ang has already rushed to the right side of Manchester City's penalty area, which is within his firing range!
After holding his breath, Li Ang concentrated on swinging his right calf quickly!
Aim, exert force, straighten the back of the foot and hit the ball!
Li Ang completed this series of actions in one go.
This time he really kicked the far corner of Manchester City's goal!
But Joe Hart stood firmly in the middle of the goal after a little hesitation!
Li Ang didn't intend to play any psychological games with Joe Hart, but Joe Hart played himself into it this time!
So after Li Ang's explosive shot hit the bottom edge of Manchester City's goal frame and bounced into the goal, Joe Hart, who was still standing in the middle of the goal, looked particularly stupid.
But now no one will pay attention to Joe Hart's outrageous performance.
Commentators from various countries are exclaiming wildly and congratulating Li Ang!
Chelsea's players on the field covered their heads, grinned, and ran towards Li Ang excitedly?
And Li Ang himself has taken off his jersey, opened his arms and ran wildly in the stadium of Stamford Bridge!
His handsome face was full of smiles, and his long hair that grew again fluttered in the wind.
And his upper body muscles, which were still covered with sweat and knotted and full, attracted countless eyeballs in front of the live camera!
Mourinho on the sidelines waved his arms and laughed, signaling the fans on the scene to give Li Ang more cheers!
Abramovich and Chelsea's top executives in the box were all smiling and clapping.
To hell with the 80 million!
Abramovich decided at that moment to build the team around Li Ang, and he would buy whoever Mourinho wanted in the future!
Li Ang is now a serious Chelsea player, the only one who is not for sale!
I wanted to write 5,000 words and post it on time at 12 o'clock, but I didn't expect to write 7,000 words
