Starting From Playing as a Defensive Midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 225: Premier League Overlord, King of London! [Please Subscribe! ]

"They are back! I know, maybe it's too early to say that now.

But for me, the tough, counter-attacking Chelsea in my memory has returned to my sight!

Just as Mourinho did after he came to this team in the summer of 2004, he repeated what he did back then!

He is building a true king's team!

The Chelsea back then was extremely successful in the Premier League, and after three years away from the Premier League championship trophy, Abramovich invited Mourinho back.

This special madman who once infused Chelsea with soul!

He returned to London with his most proud disciple.

Now, he and his new Chelsea are in front of us, giving us the most exciting performance.

That's the return of the king!"

The Sky Sports commentator was very excited, and his words also reminded countless English fans of the super Chelsea that successfully created a blue storm in the Premier League!

Many fans like gorgeous attacks, fast counterattacks, and mercury-filled midfield passes.

But there are also many fans who like tough confrontation, fierce fighting, tenacious defense and the power of the field that destroys beauty.

Mourinho's Chelsea is the ultimate interpretation of the latter.

Before playing Arsenal, many Chelsea fans were worried that their team would suddenly suffer a Waterloo.

After all, in the previous three seasons, except for the 12-year-old chicken blood rush to the Champions League final, the aging Chelsea has repeatedly shown weakness in the Premier League and the Champions League.

They are no longer a championship team.

All Chelsea fans understood this before the summer offseason this year.

After being eliminated from the Champions League semi-finals by Barcelona in the 2008-09 season, Chelsea has stepped down from its last peak.

Chelsea's performance in the Champions League in the summer of 2012 excited and moved countless Chelsea fans.

But in the end, when they fell to the big devil Real Madrid, the crying of the old boys also broke the hearts of Chelsea fans.

"There will probably never be another team like Chelsea (in 2012) that created miracles in the Champions League and is so tenacious."

Li Ang's post-match interview speech that year was firmly remembered by all Chelsea fans and has been remembered to this day.

This may be an important reason why Li Ang quickly gained the support and love of local fans as soon as he transferred to Chelsea.

Li Ang really loves Chelsea as a team. He has never been shy about this, even when he was in Real Madrid.

He respects Chelsea enough. He is a Chelsea fan and he is also "one of them" in the hearts of all Chelsea fans.

So Chelsea fans trust him very much, and Mourinho's plan to "build a new Chelsea with Li Ang as the core" is also very recognized and supported by the fans.

But as the season progresses slowly, the fantastic results have brought great surprises and happiness to Chelsea fans.

But they have always felt uneasy.

Yes, they have played against other strong teams before, such as Manchester City, Tottenham, Everton...

They all won.

It can't be said that the wins were easy, but Chelsea did have the upper hand in the game.

But this uneasy feeling still exists until the big match between Chelsea and Arsenal.

Many Chelsea fans made similar remarks on the Internet as a joke before the game:

"It doesn't matter if we lose this game. I just hope our players won't be affected. They have played well enough in the previous games."

Such jokes seem open-minded, but in fact they still reveal the lack of confidence in the hearts of Chelsea fans now.

Perhaps it is because they were eliminated in the Champions League group stage last season and suppressed by Atletico Madrid in the Europa League final.

Or maybe it is because of the chaotic performance in the league last season, and the experience of breaking into the top four at the last moment.

Chelsea fans are still not used to the fact that they have returned to the ranks of the top European teams.

In the hearts of many Chelsea fans, they are actually prepared for the team's performance to suddenly decline.

Mainly because Chelsea has performed like this in the past three seasons.

At the beginning and middle of the season, there may be a period of seemingly good performance.

But the subsequent collapse of the results was also very sudden, it really collapsed, and even no players were injured, and no one knew where the decline in performance came from.

So at the Emirates Stadium today, Chelsea scored a goal in the first seven minutes of the game, which made all the Blues fans feel surprised and reassured!

It turns out that they really didn't take advantage of the schedule, and relied on so-called good luck to keep the top position in the league.

When they defeated Manchester City before, many neutral fans argued that it was because Manchester City was still adapting to Guardiola's tactics.

They also said that if Chelsea and Manchester City played another game now, Chelsea might not win.

So how can we explain that Chelsea still quickly took the lead when facing Arsenal, the second-best opponent in the Premier League?

Chelsea has indeed transformed, and the speed of transformation and reconstruction has even exceeded the imagination of Chelsea fans!

The self-confidence that should match Chelsea's current strength is growing rapidly in the hearts of Chelsea fans.

Just like when Mourinho's Chelsea strongly suppressed Arsenal and Manchester United in the league.

At that time, all the Blues fans were able to face any Premier League team with confidence.

Now all the Blues fans also believe that it won't be long before that familiar feeling will all come back!

They are so surprised and excited.

In contrast, Arsenal fans only feel bad and uncomfortable at this moment.

Just like Wenger with a gloomy face at the moment!

"We must increase our offensive and equalize the score in the first half no matter what! We can't fight a positional war with Mourinho, and we can't let them slow down the pace!"

Wenger, who spoke faster, inevitably emphasized his tone when communicating with his assistant in an anxious state.

The scene of meeting Real Madrid led by Mourinho in the first round of the Champions League knockout last year is still vivid.

Wenger is really fed up with being tactically targeted by Mourinho and always following Mourinho's rhythm in the game!

Mourinho wants to calmly counterattack? Then he won't give Mourinho any chance to easily slow down the pace!

After Wenger quickly responded tactically, the Arsenal players on the field also quickly stabilized their minds.

Well, losing the ball at such an early time point in the first half is indeed a very morale-destroying emergency for the entire Arsenal team.

But fortunately, the professor responded in time this time. Regardless of the result, Arsenal's players at least quickly unified their tactical thinking on the court.

Waiting for Chelsea to finish celebrating, Cavani stood at the kick-off point with his hands on his hips, and looked at Chelsea's half with Ramsey.

They must seize the time to attack and break Chelsea's strong defense system as soon as possible.

This is a difficult challenge for Cavani, but it is also a challenge that makes him very excited and motivated!

He must shine in this highly anticipated game, and he must become Arsenal's hero!

Scoring this crucial equalizer for Arsenal, no one else can...

Wait!

Isn't it time for Chelsea to retreat? !

After the restart, Cavani looked at the Chelsea players who did not retreat to the half, but instead pressed fiercely towards the Arsenal half, and his brain did not turn around for a while.

At this moment, Arteta, who had just taken possession of the ball, looked at Li Ang who was rushing towards him fiercely, and could only helplessly pass the ball to the side first, and then take the initiative to retreat and run.

Chelsea's defensive pressure this time was very fierce and determined!

Li Ang and Ibrahimovic ran towards the Arsenal backcourt organizers who took the ball.

Hazard and De Bruyne were slightly inward, and they were also constantly exerting defensive pressure on Arsenal's central organizers.

Cazorla retreated as soon as possible to help his teammates in the midfield and backcourt to transfer the ball and coordinate.

But the moment he received the ball and turned around, he saw Azpilicueta who was forcing him!

Cazorla, who was startled, could only choose to knock the ball back again.

When he turned his head again, he found that Azpilicueta had crossed the center line and ran to Arsenal's half to do one-on-one defense against him!

Both of them are frequent visitors to the Spanish national team, so they naturally know how strong each other is.

Cazorla was very convinced of Azpilicueta's defensive ability, so he was also shrouded in a haze.

Chelsea's defensive pressure was beyond his expectations.

Under Azpilicueta's defense, it was still difficult for him to force a one-on-one breakthrough.

Walcott on the other side must also be "closely cared for" by Ashley Cole.

Arsenal's center has been suppressed by Chelsea at this moment. If the two wings can't open up the offensive gap, how can Arsenal break through?

Arsenal's midfielders, who were almost pressed in their own half, still controlled the ball relatively stably.

But except for the horizontal pass, there is basically only the organization of the back pass, which is of no help to Arsenal's offense.

Arsenal's midfielders can rely on their excellent skills to deal with Chelsea's full-staff pressing for a while.

But how to pass the ball forward is a big problem.

And one more thing, with Chelsea's strong and almost full-team high-pressure defense, how long can Arsenal last without losing the ball?

"That guy tricked me again!"

Wenger stood on the sidelines, but his heart was full of complaints about Mourinho.

He made tactical adjustments and made tactical plans according to Mourinho's favorite game rhythm in the past.

But now Mourinho not only did not defend, but also aggressively played high-position pressing in Arsenal's half!

Although Wenger wanted to act very confidently and let his disciples not be afraid, let Chelsea play like this and consume more of Chelsea players' physical energy.

But in the past few seasons, the scene of Real Madrid defeating several top European teams with this tactical method of running forever suddenly appeared in Wenger's mind.

Of course, the professor firmly believed that Chelsea now could not reach the terrifying physical reserve of Real Madrid last season.

But before the start of this season, when Mourinho made the initial transformation of Chelsea, he must have done physical training to improve physical fitness.

What if this Chelsea can already run down the opponent in a certain game?

Mourinho never fights a battle without confidence, so Wenger, who knows him, dare not gamble easily.

When faced with an emergency situation, Wenger will inevitably make the same mistake of hesitation.

Arsenal's players on the field can't wait for further tactical instructions from the coaching staff at this moment.

They can only look for opportunities to attack forward while trying to control the ball.

Fortunately, although Cavani's control over high-altitude balls is not as strong as Giroud, his fulcrum role is still relatively prominent.

At least much stronger than Podolski, who occasionally played as a center forward last season.

After Arsenal used Cavani as a frontcourt fulcrum to launch a long pass counterattack, they were still able to find many threatening advancement routes in Chelsea's half.

Ashley Cole has rich defensive experience, but once Walcott rushes up, the now old Ashley Cole can only watch the young tiger galloping in his own defense zone.

However, Chelsea's old captain Terry made Cavani suffer a lot.

Facing Walcott's two hard-fought counterattacks, Cavani was firmly pinned by Terry.

Not to mention the threat of Chelsea's goal, Cavani didn't even grab a point, and Chelsea only paid the price of giving Arsenal a corner kick.

When Matic headed the corner kick one step ahead of Mertesacker on the defensive end, Chelsea's swift counterattack started again!

This time, Li Ang decisively passed the ball directly to Hazard in the middle.

But unfortunately, Arteta pulled Hazard down on the grass with an overhand defense.

"Blind Man" Oliver was not blind this time, and he whistled Arteta's foul in time and showed him a yellow gem battle card.

Chelsea fans didn't care about whether Oliver would give Chelsea players a yellow card because of finding a balance.

They all praised Oliver's penalty this time.

After all, Arteta is extremely important to Arsenal, and his position is also very special.

If Arteta dares not to make big defensive moves because of the yellow card in the future.

With only Toulalan, Arsenal's midfield and backcourt defense could not stop Chelsea's rapid advance.

Hazard, who had made great contributions, became more and more eager to try on the offensive end.

Li Ang also allocated him more offensive ball rights, allowing him to continue to put pressure on Arteta and Arsenal's aging right back Sagna.

Not only did the counterattack not work, but their core midfielder also received a yellow card. Arsenal's players only felt that the game was getting worse and worse.

It was completely a frustration that they still had spare energy, but they just couldn't use it.

Wenger hadn't said anything off the court, and some Arsenal players on the court also opened up and fought against their opponents on the court.

After this group of Arsenal players also ran and actively confronted at the same time, Arsenal's organizational dilemma in the backcourt seemed to be slightly loosened.

Especially after seeing their own actions getting bigger and the referee Oliver didn't say much, these Arsenal players immediately gained confidence!

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Li Ang lost control of the ball when Ramsey collided with him from the flank.

He originally thought that Oliver would blow the whistle to stop the game.

But this guy directly indicated that Ramsey had no problem and the game continued.

Of course, Li Ang was not happy. Since Oliver did not blow the whistle for such an obvious foul, he would naturally play the game with the same action scale as Ramsey!

As a result, he knocked down Cazorla who wanted to cut inside on the defensive end. Oliver blew the whistle directly and gave him a severe warning.

"Sir! This is exactly the same as the action when Ramsey knocked me down just now. I did not do anything to hurt Cazorla. Isn't this a normal confrontation?"

Li Ang was dumbfounded and quickly spread his hands to explain his innocence.

This tm was no more than two minutes before and after, two almost identical fouls, and they could actually be whistled with completely different penalties?

Li Ang thought this was ridiculous, but Oliver also firmly signaled Li Ang not to make excuses to him.

Lampard, who had long been accustomed to it, also pulled Li Ang away directly at this moment.

"He is looking for the yellow card that he showed Arteta before. Don't give him any chance to play any card. Do you understand? Li Ang, keep your calm!"

Lampard's words made Li Ang quickly sober up.

Those dusty memories of watching the game told him.

This way of whistling is indeed in line with the fixed impression that Oliver left on all fans in the Premier League.

In order to ensure the smoothness of the game and to be as "fair" as possible, Oliver has always believed in the balanced game whistling principle.

But the balance that this guy believes in is not to keep the same truly fair whistles for both teams.

Instead, after one side received a severe punishment result, he always wanted to do something on the other side.

Typical of not caring about right or wrong, both sides will be hit 50 times.

The memories that surged in his mind made Li Ang decisively choose to shut up.

At this time, it is the most rational choice not to offend Oliver.

Otherwise, if Oliver really wants to take out a yellow card later, then Leon really doesn't know where to go to complain.

Leon, who was obedient, did not give Oliver any chance to find fault with himself.

However, even if he could not use bigger defensive actions like Ramsey, Leon's normal defense still made Arsenal's counterattack in the middle very difficult.

In desperation, Arsenal could only frequently mobilize their two wing forwards and full-backs to continuously attack Chelsea's two wing defenses.

At this time, all Chelsea players slowly ended their previous crazy defensive pressure on Arsenal.

It is difficult for Ashley Cole to stop Walcott's offensive advance from a high position.

But retreating to his own half to squat, that is another story.

Ashley Cole's rich defensive experience and his better confrontation ability.

Walcott and Sagna can no longer easily go to the bottom as soon as they break into Chelsea's defensive third zone as before.

Of course, Ashley Cole is now at a disadvantage in terms of speed, and occasionally Walcott will force a breakthrough.

But this occasional bottom attack can not bring more threats to Chelsea's solid defense.

Arsenal's previous sharp offensive routines that made a fuss in the opponent's rib space were completely strangled and destroyed by Leon and Matic today.

Leon's abundant physical strength that can retreat to defend in time after participating in the attack makes all Arsenal fans hate it.

But there is no way. Before Leon's physical strength is really exhausted, it is still too difficult for Arsenal to penetrate Chelsea's central defense.

However, it must be said that Arsenal did a very good job on the defensive end today.

After they lost the ball, they did not give Chelsea many opportunities to enter their own penalty area and get threatening shots.

For the protection of the front of the penalty area, Turan and Arteta did a good job.

Ibrahimovic also played awkwardly against Mertesacker's defense today.

In the field of defending tall center forwards, no defender in the Premier League can do better than Mertesacker at this stage.

Arsenal's defense played very steadily in the first half, and basically made no mistakes.

Even Li Ang's long-range shot was not the reason for Arsenal's defense.

Then it is obvious that the defensive work should be done by the defensive midfielder. If the defensive midfielder did not do a good job, can the defender be blamed?

Chelsea's offensive players tried several times to forcefully bite Arsenal's defense but failed.

But with the advantage of a goal in hand, Chelsea's players on the field were not in a hurry to continue attacking.

After the 30th minute of the first half, Mourinho waved his hand, indicating that it was time for his disciples to play defense and counterattack honestly.

Chelsea's players acted decisively, unified their tactical thinking, and directly retreated across the center line as a whole.

Arsenal finally waited for the opportunity to press forward and besiege Chelsea.

But looking at the densely packed defenders in Chelsea's half.

Arsenal's players suddenly felt that it was not a wise choice to let Chelsea retreat to the half and park the bus.

But now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Wenger also gave tactical instructions to increase the intensity of the attack.

Seeing this, Arsenal's offensive players could only bite the bullet and force it.

Li Ang remembered Oliver's stern warning to him before, so he always remembered to restrain his defensive actions a little.

But he didn't expect that he had escaped.

Facing Walcott, Ashley Cole, who was under great pressure, was very sad to receive a yellow card in the 37th minute of the first half!

Well! Oliver finally got the chance to make up for this yellow card on Chelsea!

Ashley Cole's defensive foul on Walcott with a slight pull was actually in the penalty situation where he could get a card or not.

It basically depends on Oliver's whistle scale.

If he really wanted to make such a decision, Chelsea's players would have no choice but to accept it.

But Mourinho, who didn't know about his strange temper, was very angry and went to the fourth official to complain without hesitation.

Who told him that when Oliver was refereeing in the Premier League, Mourinho had already left England?

His anger was understandable, but the fourth official's suggestion that he should control his temper was also serious.

Seeing the fourth official's unfriendly look, Holland quickly dragged Mourinho back to the coaching seat again.

After he explained a little, Mourinho looked at Oliver on the field suspiciously.

"No, why does the FA always like to find these weird guys to be the referees? Isn't he more ridiculous than Atkinson?!"

Mourinho bluntly criticized the FA's referee selection and training work.

Holland could only go along with his temper and comfort him at this moment:

You are right, you are right to scold me, brother!

Although I am a British, I fully support your ridicule of the FA!

But we are still playing now. Last time, I helped you clean up the mess and was sent off with a red card. If you do it again this time, you will have to go off the field again.

Faced with Holland's patient consolation, Mourinho, who had calmed down a little, sat back in the coaching seat.

Fortunately, at the last moment of the first half, the players of both teams and Oliver did not make any more trouble.

The game entered the halftime break with Chelsea leading 1-0.

As soon as they returned to the locker room, Chelsea players and Arsenal players almost complained about Oliver's whistle today.

Arsenal players certainly thought that the yellow card Oliver showed to Arteta was too harsh.

And there was almost no sign of him blowing the home whistle.

The several harsh penalties against Chelsea in the first half were just to make up for the mistakes he made against Arteta.

For Chelsea players, the point they complained about was Oliver's habit of forcing a balance.

Li Ang rarely scolded the referee with his teammates today.

However, after complaining, there was more relaxed laughter in the away locker room where Chelsea was.

Mourinho's tactics in the first half were a joke on Arsenal.

And today, the unexpected early lead made Chelsea's players feel more confident!

Mourinho also happily let the players rest first, but only in the last five minutes did he roughly emphasize the players' personal tactical responsibilities.

In addition, the players should pay attention to several aspects of Arsenal's tactical changes in the second half of the game.

What tactics should Chelsea play in the second half and how should they adjust?

Mourinho had made full preparations for these things before the game, and Chelsea's players had already practiced them.

The three days of intense training were not just playing house.

The game is going smoothly now. What Chelsea has to do is to follow the rules and play the tactical effects they have already played in training.

Besides, if there is any unexpected change in the game later, Mourinho will definitely make tactical adjustments in time.

All Chelsea players have great trust in their head coach's ability to respond on the spot.

With this trust, all Chelsea players howled out of the locker room after another cheering and cheering, and trotted out of the player tunnel back to the field!

Before the start of the second half, Chelsea did not make any substitutions.

Arsenal took the lead in changing the formation, changing from 4231 to 442.

Ramsey was off the court, replaced by the tall center Giroud!

"The professor was very decisive today, and the captain and his team's defensive burden will be heavier!"

Li Ang looked at Giroud who was communicating with Cavani, touched his chin, and was surprised by the professor's decisive substitution today.

After the second half of the game resumed, Arsenal did further strengthen their offense.

This time, it was not just Arteta who pushed forward to organize, even Toulalan pressed to the midline!

Arsenal's big investment allowed them to quickly open up the situation on the offensive end.

After all, with Giroud, a center forward with stronger fulcrum ability and more capable of competing for headers, standing in the penalty area.

The arduous offensive pressure that Cavani had to bear was immediately reduced a lot.

Reducing the burden on Cavani naturally increased the sharpness of Arsenal's offensive spearhead.

Cavani, who was no longer closely guarded by Terry, had a large range of activities.

His running and coordination in the middle and on the wing made Arsenal's offensive scene more smooth.

With two center forwards who could hold the ball and cover the ball, Arsenal's other offensive players also played more easily.

However, under their ease at this moment, the defensive pressure on Arsenal's backcourt players increased sharply!

After all, Arteta and Toulalan both went to the front position to support the attack, so the attack will certainly improve.

But now Arsenal must rely on Koscielny, who is in the same front position, as the first interception point.

Such a defensive situation is very dangerous. After all, if Koscielny is passed, Arsenal will only have Mertesacker, who is lagging behind, to defend the middle.

He has a strong ability to intercept in front, but if Chelsea's offensive players go around to the flanks to make forward runs, the German central defender can only do nothing.

Count on Gibbs and Sagna?

These two full-backs are now all pressed to Chelsea's half as wingers. It's good enough to return to defense in time. Count on them to shine on the defensive end?

That's just dreaming.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

You want to increase the number advantage on the offensive end, enjoy the offensive bonus, and also want to consolidate the defense. Where can such a good thing come from?

Unless Arsenal's midfield is replaced by last year's Xabi Alonso and Leon, and Essien or Vieira in their prime, it's almost the same.

Wenger certainly knows the biggest disadvantage of their tactics at the moment.

But he doesn't want to be led by Mourinho!

If it continues, Arsenal will only face Chelsea's increasingly crowded half-court and increasingly powerful defense.

He can only take advantage of the beginning of the second half to force Chelsea's defense and find opportunities.

At least now the chemical reaction between Cavani and Giroud gives Wenger a great hope of equalizing the score.

And Mourinho quickly made his tactical decision after thinking about the current situation.

Wenger dares to take risks, so there is no reason for him not to take risks!

Don't defend, don't park the bus, seize the opportunity of Arsenal's large-scale insertion in the frontcourt to attack behind their midfield defense, Chelsea should counterattack more!

Leon was also eager to fight after seeing Mourinho's tactical command.

At this moment, he, Matic and Lampard almost formed a three-man defense, blocking Arsenal's offensive direction in the middle of their own half.

Arsenal still played more on both sides.

Under Walcott's tireless offensive attempts, Ashley Cole, who had a yellow card in the first half, also became a breakthrough in Chelsea's defense.

Seeing this, Li Ang also signaled Matic to help Ashley Cole more and help him relieve the defensive pressure.

But this is not a long-term solution. Chelsea's counterattack was even temporarily put aside because of the imbalance of defense on this side.

However, in the 60th minute of the second half, when Mourinho replaced Ashley Cole with Bertrand who had finished warming up, the defensive problems that troubled Chelsea suddenly disappeared.

Bertrand is in his prime, his speed is not slow, and his confrontation ability is much better than Walcott.

Walcott, who had consumed a lot of physical energy before, is not as strong as before.

So under Bertrand's close defense, Walcott's side gradually died down.

As one side gained strength, the other side lost strength. When Arsenal's offensive paused, Chelsea, who had taken a breath, would seize the opportunity to counterattack quickly!

When Li Ang was defending before, he had been observing the positions of the various midfielders and backfielders in the middle and wing of Arsenal.

So when David Luiz attacked and intercepted the ball from Cavani's feet, he passed it to him.

He didn't even move forward a few more steps, and after a slight adjustment, he kicked and sent a long and fast pass!

This time, he didn't pass the ball to Hazard, but directly looked for De Bruyne who was already speeding forward on the right!

Because Gibbs is more active on the offensive end than Sagna at this time, and his forward pressure is also greater than Sagna!

Li Ang believes that De Bruyne can observe this counterattack opportunity.

Hazard and Ibrahimovic may not have thought of this excellent route for counterattack, but Li Ang was extremely confident that De Bruyne would have the same idea as him!

As expected, at the moment when Li Ang got the ball and sent a long pass, De Bruyne decisively moved forward and left Gibbs and Tulara who was pressing on the center line behind him early!

Li Ang's long pass was quite like that of Brother Long, with a fast enough speed and a relatively accurate landing point.

More importantly, the ball did not roll forward immediately after landing, but bounced almost vertically on the grass!

This not only helped De Bruyne catch up with the football and continue to advance calmly with the ball, but also made Arsenal's defenders dare not attack easily.

If it was a forward rolling ball, Koscielnik, who was faster, would have enough reason and confidence to destroy the ball out of the sideline before De Bruyne got the ball.

Unfortunately, Li Ang did not give him such an opportunity at all.

After De Bruyne successfully dribbled the ball forward, he caught a glimpse of Ibrahimovic and Hazard's trend of moving forward, and suddenly kicked a low, arcing cross!

The football quickly passed Koscielny and Ibrahimovic in front of the penalty area along the grass, and at the back point, Hazard, who had used his speed advantage to pass Mertesacker's defense, turned sideways and faced the ball!

Hazard didn't even exert much force, he just straightened his arch, and then gently pushed to change the direction of the ball.

The fast-moving football immediately changed direction and flew towards Arsenal's goal.

Szczesny held his breath in his heart. This time he made a defensive prediction in advance. At the moment when Hazard completed the push, he also directly pushed the ground and bent down to complete the save!

This time he did not make any mistakes, mainly because Hazard's clever shot this time was not very powerful, so he was lucky to save the ball!

When he saw the football flying outside the penalty area, Szczesny, who clearly saw Lampard's face, trembled in his heart!

Fortunately, Turan, who returned to defense in time this time, did not give Lampard the opportunity to shoot at the first time.

The defensive position of the French midfielder is still very good.

But Lampard quickly changed his decision to shoot when he saw Turan approaching him.

His pace was deliberately slowed down, and Lampard's right foot didn't reach the ball in the end.

But his left foot knocked the ball sideways, and directly knocked the ball to the empty area on the right side outside the Arsenal penalty area!

And the one who completed the pass relay with Lampard this time was Li Ang, who was running with him!

Li Ang stopped the ball and flicked it, and was about to shoot again in almost the same position as in the first half.

Koscielny, who had completely let go of Ibrahimovic, attacked fiercely and went down to the ground to make a shovel!

But Li Ang changed his shot to a dunk even faster!

His ankle fell quickly, and he led the ball and dunked past Koscielny!

When he led the ball to the top of the arc in the middle of the Arsenal penalty area, and also went in front of his left foot.

Li Ang quickly swung his left calf and completed a full-strength shot outside the penalty area!

The football once again whizzed from Li Ang's feet to Arsenal's goal.

And Szczesny, who had quickly stood up after completing the save, also roared in his heart and rushed to the near corner of the goal again!

He would never allow Li Ang to tease and penetrate his goal for the second time at the Emirates Stadium!

But Li Ang deceived him with his eyes and the action of the previous shot.

This time he did not kick the ball to the two corners of the goal, but directly kicked it to the middle of Arsenal's goal!

If you are prepared and guess the direction of the opponent's shot, then this kind of shot is the goalkeeper's favorite way of shooting.

Because the ball hit in the middle is indeed easier to save!

But when Szczesny confidently rushed to the near corner of the goal in advance, the decision he made was a fatal mistake!

Li Ang's shot was a little too strong, after all, it was a left-foot shot that he was not used to.

If he passes the ball with his left foot, there is no such problem. But for shooting, there is still some difference between Li Ang's left foot and right foot.

So the football finally bounced under the crossbar.

But the football did not bounce directly out of the goal line as all Arsenal fans expected.

Instead, it rubbed against the slightly inner part of the crossbar and finally plunged into the goal line!

In the 73rd minute of the second half, Li Ang scored twice with a long shot, successfully helping Chelsea to expand their lead to two goals!

As soon as this goal was scored, Arsenal suffered another heavy blow, and the morale of the players on the field was inevitably plummeted!

After all, the game has already reached this time point, not only did they fail to equalize the score, but they also lost another goal!

The remaining game time may not even be enough for 20 minutes. It is not easy to score two goals in a row, or under Chelsea's stubborn defense!

Wenger looked at this unfavorable situation and could only continue to pile up offensive players.

Wilshere and Podolski both came on the field.

Walcott and Arteta were substituted, and Arsenal had to make a desperate last-minute attack!

However, Mourinho's substitutions were also timely.

Hazard and Lampard were substituted. Essien and Kalas came on the field!

It was the familiar 541 formation again. Chelsea's tactical choice of defending the half court at the last moment did not surprise neutral fans.

Li Ang's abnormal physical advantage can always play a huge role at such moments.

His sweep and confrontation interception made Arsenal's offensive players anxious.

When facing the unreasonable confrontation actions of the Arsenal players above, Li Ang fell down when he should, without any psychological burden at all.

This is within the reasonable use of the rules. Not only Li Ang, but other Chelsea players are also trying to delay time as much as possible.

Apart from frequently kicking high balls from the wings and letting Giroud, Mertesacker and Cavani compete for the ball, Arsenal had no better offensive tactics.

However, Chelsea's strengths also happened to be in high-altitude defense.

So, in the fierce confrontation and header competition again and again, the game gradually came to an end.

When Oliver finally blew the whistle to end the game, Li Ang and his teammates also slumped down on the grass without caring about their image.

But they were in a very happy mood!

After Mourinho celebrated with a small fist, he also took a big step towards Wenger.

After calmly accepting the professor's helpless and bitter congratulations, Mourinho smiled and put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards his disciples with high spirits.

Now they really sit firmly on the throne of the King of London!

Well, maybe another title should be added.

That is the Premier League overlord!

This broken state can only be pulled up by typing all night...

Directly using time to exchange for words, I can only work hard, this is really hard, the state is really not good, but I really don’t want to give up, rush!
