Chapter 219 Young Army, Let Me See How Good You Are [Please Subscribe, Big Guys! ]

Lukaku, who scored another goal in the Champions League, is now considered a super star with a rising reputation in Europe.

Regardless of whether the opponent's hard power is strong or weak, Lukaku can score three goals in five rounds of the Champions League group stage as a rotation player.

That is definitely the "rising star" of European football!

Although Lukaku's position is a little vague now, it doesn't matter.

On the contrary, his characteristics of being able to play both on the wing and in the middle are quite in line with the requirements of modern football for strikers.

Just like Morata, who shined all over Europe last season.

Temporary technical defects will not become their shortcomings.

After all, there will be no detailed and professional analysis of their technical defects in the media's exaggerated propaganda.

With the blessing of age and data, many fans who are impressed will soon build a perfect image of a new star with overflowing talent and outstanding talents in their minds.

This is indeed the case with the development of the two stars on the original timeline.

For many fans who have not watched their performance carefully, the blessing of data is very important.

Therefore, even though the two have not really played the corresponding value, they have become super hot cakes with a value of nearly 100 million in the transfer market.

However, Morata and Lukaku are obviously more fortunate now that their development lines have been changed by Li Ang, the "butterfly".

First of all, Morata.

Under Mourinho's commission, even if he left the team, Zidane, who was previously the technical director of Real Madrid's first team and now officially became the assistant coach of Real Madrid's first team, urged him to improve his technical defects in shooting.

Compared with when he officially joined Real Madrid's first team, Morata's current shooting skills, at least right-foot shooting, are much better.

If he continues to grow normally, even if he cannot compete with Benzema in the future and cannot play as the starting center forward in Real Madrid's first team.

Morata who is sent out will also develop better than himself in the original timeline.

After all, the improved shooting skills and the extra game experience have become valuable assets in his career.

A few days ago, Li Ang told Lukaku that Morata is still a double-footed player, and he was more of a joke about his Castilla brother.

Speaking of Lukaku, this kid is even luckier now.

Not only did he meet the more patient and tolerant Mourinho, but Li Ang also took him to do targeted technical training.

Without having to force weight gain and lose his body's flexibility and speed, his future development prospects in football naturally became broader.

Now that Li Ang is watching him do detailed and tedious technical adjustment training every day, Lukaku is a little tired.

But after three or five years, he will only be grateful that Li Ang is willing to spend time and patience today, allowing him to grow more when he is young.

It is Li Ang and Mourinho who jointly require him to use his right foot more to complete the shot in the daily training confrontation, which makes Lukaku want to cry without tears.

But as the training time of a week passes, there are some results.

At least now when Lukaku shoots with his right foot, he will not have uneven force, which will cause the ball to be shot off the target.

Such progress is actually quite slow, but the Chelsea coaching staff does not have high requirements for Lukaku.

This season, we will first ensure that he can hit the goal frame with reverse-footed shots in the penalty area, and we will not require strength and accuracy.

Let him practice the accuracy of his right-footed shots next season.

After all, Lukaku is young. After growing up step by step until he is 23 years old, he can train his right foot to have a reliable shot in the penalty area.

After a week of full rest, Chelsea's main players also ushered in the challenge of the 13th round of the Premier League.

In this round of the league, Chelsea will play at home at Stamford Bridge and fight Southampton, which is currently ranked fourth in the Premier League.

This game is also the most watched strong dialogue in the 13th round of the Premier League.

According to common sense, the game between Tottenham and Manchester United should be more popular.

Unfortunately, Manchester United is currently ranked ninth in the Premier League, and Tottenham has fallen from the top four in the Premier League at the beginning of the season to fifth in the Premier League.

This game between the ninth and fifth teams in the Premier League cannot be compared with the battle between the top four teams.

And to be honest, Southampton's current fourth place in the Premier League is really not a big deal.

Winning Liverpool and Manchester United in a row, and in the last round of the league, they also stubbornly tied with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Even if Manchester United is excluded, Southampton has currently faced two teams in the top six of the Premier League, and the record is still dominant.

The Southampton youth team led by Pochettino has already amazed countless Premier League fans!

Holding high the banner of offensive football, Southampton, whose average age of players is also the youngest in the Premier League, is in high spirits.

However, at the pre-match press conference, Southampton's young coach Pochettino said very modestly.

Now they are more of a young challenger than a competitor of Chelsea.

"I have a good relationship with Jose, and we have played against each other many times in La Liga. I have learned a lot from him.

Of course, I have not led a team to beat him so far.

Tomorrow's game will certainly be difficult, so we must be fully prepared mentally. It is always exciting to compete with the top team.

In any case, we are all young challengers, and we hope to bring more fans a wonderful match tomorrow..."

Pochettino's high emotional intelligence speech made this game - at least before the game - not full of gunpowder.

Mourinho also has a high opinion of Pochettino, an "old acquaintance" in La Liga.

This is not that Mourinho is saying good things because of Pochettino's respect for him.

After the first two encounters in La Liga, Mourinho was very optimistic about Pochettino, who was coaching Espanyol at the time.

After all, if he didn't have two brushes, Pochettino, who was not yet 40 years old at the time, would not have led the Spaniards, who had not invested much, to the eighth place in La Liga at the end of the 10-11 season.

So what Mourinho said before the game was all true.

He really thinks highly of Pochettino, and he really regards Southampton as Chelsea's first-tier opponent in the league.

On the day of the game, when the starting lineups of both teams were announced.

Mourinho and Pochettino, who got the news, smiled knowingly when they saw the starting lineups of their opponents.

The same 4231 starting formation, the same emphasis on balanced offense and defense.

Both of them also made accurate tactical predictions about each other before the game.

However, in the case of using the same 4231 starting formation, Chelsea seems to be more defensive, while Southampton is more offensive.

On the evening of December 1st, Chinese fans watched the two early Premier League games that started at 8 pm and 10 pm Chinese time more comfortably.

The 2-2 handshake between Tottenham and Manchester United was not very exciting, but the game where Hull City beat Liverpool 3-1 was more exciting.

However, after eating two Premier League "appetizers", the most anticipated game for domestic fans is of course the Premier League focus match between Chelsea and Southampton, which will start at 10:00 on December 2.

This viewing time is not as good as 8pm and 10pm, but compared with the start time of Serie A, La Liga and the Champions League, it is already very friendly to Chinese fans.

Sina Sports also specially invited General Fan and Zhan Jun to partner to comment on this strong dialogue in the Premier League today.

This season, General Fan has been a guest of Sina Sports to comment on Chelsea's game. After the live broadcast started, he chatted with Zhan Jun with ease.

If we talk about the famous players who pay more attention to and understand the Premier League in China, General Fan must be one of the best.

At the beginning of today's live broadcast, General Fan kept talking about the fact that he almost joined Liverpool that year.

So it didn't take long for General Fan to talk about Liverpool's upset defeat just now.

Zhan Jun could only shake his head and smile helplessly, and General Fan, who had succeeded in his trick, quickly changed the topic, which made countless domestic fans in front of their computers and mobile phones very happy.

At this moment, the live broadcast screen was just the time when the players of the two teams lined up with the referee.

So Zhan Jun quickly took over the conversation, and as the player list appeared on the live broadcast screen, he introduced the starting lineups of the two teams today.

"Today, Chelsea played at home and played their usual 4231 starting formation.

The starting goalkeeper was Cech.

Bertrand, Terry, David Luiz and Azpilicueta lined up on the back line.

Matic and Lampard played as double defensive midfielders, Li Ang played as attacking midfielder, Hazard and Ramirez were on Li Ang's left and right wings.

Ibrahimovic rushed forward and played as the starting center forward."

"Southampton also used a 4231 starting formation.

The starting goalkeeper was Polish goalkeeper Boruc.

The starting players on the back line were Luke Shaw, Dejan Lovren, Jose Fonte and Chambers.

In the midfield, Snyderlin and Wanyama played as double defensive midfielders, Lallana played as attacking midfielder, Jay Rodriguez and Ward-Prowse was on both sides of Lallana.

Osvaldo was the starting center forward.

"Compared to the previous league, both teams made adjustments to the starting lineup in the frontcourt today.

Chelsea used Ramirez to replace De Bruyne, who has not yet fully recovered from injury, while Southampton used Osvaldo to replace the previous starting center forward Lambert.

"Yes, although there were media reports before the game that De Bruyne had begun to resume training with the team, Mourinho did not bring him to this game for the sake of safety.

Osvaldo's starting lineup may be because Lambert's previous thigh muscle strain has not healed yet?

Otherwise, with Osvaldo's current state, Pochettino has no reason to continue to use him as a starter..."

As the two exchanged and analyzed, the referee on duty quickly blew the whistle to start the game!

Chelsea, who had the right to kick off, slowly spread out their formation and pressed towards Southampton under the command of Li Ang's gestures after controlling the ball.

Li Ang looked at the familiar faces on the opposite side who were still a little immature, and he didn't feel embarrassed to bully these young players.

In the process of holding the ball and advancing the offense, he directly used his physical fitness to run over Lallana first, and then quickly passed the ball to his left front under the defensive pressure of Wanyama.

Chelsea's offensive test at the beginning was still led by Hazard.

However, Southampton seemed to have expected it, and Ward-Prowse and Chambers, who actively retreated, resolutely double-teamed Hazard.

Hazard, who failed to pick up the ball in a hurry, lost the ball, but Chelsea was not panicked in the face of Southampton's quick counterattack.

After Wanyama received the ball and made a big diagonal transfer, Luke Shaw, who stopped the ball, faced Azpilicueta, who had been eyeing him.

Luke Shaw, who was just a newborn calf and had performed well in the previous ten Premier League games, chose to force a breakthrough very bravely and decisively!

But Azpilicueta taught the young Luke Shaw a lesson with a solid head-on confrontation.

In the first offensive and defensive contest at the beginning of the game, both teams had already experienced the opponent's full tactical preparation.

Pochettino looked at the two young full-backs who started Chelsea today, and turned his head thoughtfully to Mourinho who was sitting on the Diaoyutai next door.

At present, the responsibility of launching the attack on the two wings of Southampton is not on the two wing forwards, but on the two young full-backs.

Luke Shaw and Chambers, who have excellent skills and advancement ability, are currently the killers of Southampton's attack on the two wings.

The inward-moving wingers in front give them space to advance and provide tactical cover.

There are two defensive midfielders in the back to clean up their butts and consolidate the wing defense.

Without too much pressure to return to defense, these two young wingers often only need to calmly advance to the bottom after the opponent's full-back is taken away by their own wingers, and then send threatening passes.

Southampton has also repeatedly succeeded in the previous Premier League with this offensive mode.

But now it seems that Mourinho has studied their offensive tactics very thoroughly.

And Chelsea also has enough single defense forces to deal with Southampton's wolf pack tactics.

Southampton's two wingers are naturally dealt with by Matic and Lampard.

Not to mention Lallana. When Li Ang actively returned to defense at the beginning of the game, Lallana, who was facing him, should not think of having too much room to play.

And Mourinho used the younger Bertrand and Azpilicueta to replace Ashley Cole and Ivanovic in the starting lineup today.

It was to stop the forward attack of Southampton's two young full-backs point to point!

This is a set of interlocking defensive arrangements.

Mourinho even sacrificed a certain amount of ball possession and initiative at the beginning of the game to curb Southampton's best wing forward attack.

Now Pochettino had to believe that everything Mourinho said before the game was true.

Looking at Luke Shaw, who had been forced back by Azpilicueta's oppressive defense twice in a row, Pochettino subconsciously pinched his finger joints.

At this moment in the stadium, after Li Ang received Azpilicueta's cross pass, he once again broke through Lallana's defensive interference and rushed to the center line at the first time!

Luke Shaw, who had failed in the previous attack, quickly retracted and ran towards Li Ang.

But just as he used his speed advantage to gradually chase back to Li Ang's side and collided with him, he was bounced out of position!

Seeing this, Snyderlin could not care about other Chelsea attacking players. He could only grit his teeth and abandon his own defense zone, pressing towards Li Ang aggressively!

Li Ang was waiting for the moment when Schneiderlin lost his defensive position!

Schneiderlin had just run two steps, and Li Ang sent a diagonal pass over the top, directly looking for Ramirez who was pulling down the side.

At this moment, Ibrahimovic had completed the forward thrust, and Ramirez did not hesitate and decisively swept the ball to the front of the Southampton penalty area!

Lovren and Font's double-teaming of Ibrahimovic caused chaos in the Southampton penalty area!

But in the end, Ibrahimovic still relied on the advantage of his long legs to complete the poke shot first!

Polish goalkeeper Boruc was very focused at this moment.

He quickly got down and stretched his feet, blocking Ibrahimovic's shot just out of the baseline!

The fans at Stamford Bridge exclaimed!

After waving his hands with a little regret, Li Ang also actively entered the Southampton penalty area to prepare for this corner kick opportunity.

His excitement and eagerness to try made Southampton's young talents such as Lallana, Luke Shaw and Chambers feel lingering fear.

This made them involuntarily think of a legend about Li Ang that had been circulating in the football world before.

"Li Ang likes to play against those so-called young football talents the most to test their quality.

Nowadays, all the new football stars have a hard time performing well against Li Ang.

If you don't believe me, just watch the video of Li Ang's matches with Isco, Griezmann, and Gotze..."

Thinking of this, Lallana and Luke Shaw couldn't help but have bad thoughts in their minds.

Is it their turn to be tested today?
