Chapter 240: The Little Prince of Hard Battle, the Bottle Opener of Tragedy [Please Subscribe, Big Guys! ]

"Leon is very excited today! Should we retreat and counterattack now? Leon and Nemanja (Matic) are in good shape today, and the counterattack should be very effective!"

After rushing out of the coaching booth to celebrate happily, Holland held the tactical board in his hand and turned to Mourinho, who had just returned to the coaching booth, to ask.

Chelsea's tactical formulation before the game was to compete with Paris Saint-Germain for the start, but it was not to speed up and play against Paris Saint-Germain throughout the game.

Mourinho and Chelsea's players were actually prepared for the possibility of losing the ball first.

If they lost the ball first in the first half of this game, they would have to fight against Paris Saint-Germain to the end.

But now that they have taken the lead, Chelsea can naturally consider playing the defensive counterattack tactics they are good at.

Holland's consideration is very practical, but at this moment Mourinho gave an answer that was not in the same line of thought as him.

"No, we have to pursue the victory! PSG wants to speed up, so we will continue to speed up with them!

Don't you think that when PSG adopts a more aggressive offensive tactic, we will get more opportunities to advance quickly if we put the interception line in their half?"

Mourinho stroked his chin and analyzed it for Holland with shining eyes.

Holland felt that the risk of doing so was still a bit high, but he had no objection to the tactical arrangement that Mourinho finally chose.

After celebrating excitedly with his teammates, Li Ang was also paying attention to the movements in the coaching seats off the court.

If Mourinho made clear tactical instructions at this time, asking him to slow down the pace of the game and command his teammates to shrink and counterattack, he would certainly do so.

But now Mourinho did not respond, which meant that the Chelsea players on the field continued to play the previous oppressive tactics by default, and Li Ang felt even happier.

If you say that you will treat 272 to Lafite in this round of the Champions League knockout game, you must say it and do it!

Whether Paris Saint-Germain can fight back and score two goals is not important to Li Ang.

Whether Chelsea can successfully score eight or even more goals against Paris Saint-Germain in two rounds is important to Li Ang!

So we have to fight with Paris Saint-Germain!

Without high pressure and fast advancement, how can we complete the "arduous task" of scoring at least four goals in a game?

Mourinho chose the style of play that Li Ang expected most today. Next, it depends on whether the head coach and players of Paris Saint-Germain are stubborn.

"Don't be scared, keep pressing over and attacking! If you are scared today, it will not be fun..."

Li Ang looked at 272 who walked behind the kick-off point with a sullen face, and the smile on his face became a little stronger.

Higuain was standing at the kick-off point at this time. As long as he turned his head, he could clearly see the completely different expressions on the faces of 272 and Li Ang.

However, he did not empathize with 272's experience in his heart, and he did not want to look at Li Ang from 272's perspective at all.

On the contrary, if it weren't for the fact that he was wearing a Paris Saint-Germain jersey, as a neutral person, he would even applaud Leon's behavior of personally slapping his face!

But because he is now in the same team as 272, Higuain can only curse 272 and his brainless father in his heart for making trouble before the game.

Higuain does not have a strong sense of belonging to Paris Saint-Germain. He came to this club, to put it bluntly, for the promise of a high salary and an absolute main position.

So he did not sympathize with 272 who had previously made a fuss about having the same salary level as him.

But now, when he thought of Leon and Chelsea wanting to kill Paris Saint-Germain, and he was innocently shot, he felt very bored.

But the game started again soon, and Higuain didn't have the heart to think about it anymore.

The rest of the Paris Saint-Germain attacking players.

For example, Lavezzi and Lucas Jr. Although they were depressed at the moment, they still had high fighting spirit and wanted to help the team equalize the score as soon as possible.

So they still actively retreated to receive Verratti's pass on the field, hoping to save time and play more offensive rounds.

But now that Chelsea has to continue to play pressure defense, Li Ang doesn't want to give Paris Saint-Germain the opportunity to organize calmly.

Matic's speed is not very fast, better than Motta, but it is still too difficult for him to face the attack of the two wingers of Paris Saint-Germain directly.

So Li Ang still directed Matic to drag back, and the main force to defend Lavezzi and Lucas Jr. is still Azpilicueta and Bertrand.

In addition to continuing to keep an eye on 272's ball, Li Ang's defensive focus has been placed on Verratti, the core of Paris Saint-Germain's organization.

The young Italian short midfielder does not look conspicuous now.

Although he quickly became the core of Paris Saint-Germain's midfield organization after transferring to Paris Saint-Germain in 2012, his fame is completely overshadowed by 272 of the same team.

For many neutral fans, 272 is the core of Paris Saint-Germain's midfield.

It is famous, has a strong passing threat, and has beautiful personal data.

Even if he was beaten by Li Ang in today's game, this cannot change the views of most ordinary fans.

Li Ang has been observing Paris Saint-Germain's current offensive operation system since the beginning of today's game.

So he quickly discovered the organizational task given to Verratti by Paris Saint-Germain coach Blanc.

In Li Ang's view, if the current Paris Saint-Germain lacks 272 and uses Brother Face as the starting player, their midfield offense and defense will be more balanced.

And in terms of the operation of the offensive system, Paris Saint-Germain will not be greatly affected by the lack of 272.

But if Verratti is missing, Paris Saint-Germain's midfield will be out of touch.

Not only will the efficiency of offensive organization be reduced, but on the defensive end, without Verratti's hard sweeping protection, relying only on Motta to drag back, Paris's midfield defense loopholes will only be bigger!

Li Ang can roughly judge this through careful observation. As the head coach of Paris, Blanc will certainly know it better.

As for why Blanc did not boldly abandon 272 and create a new midfield combination with more balanced offense and defense, Li Ang can probably guess the reason.

In the final analysis, it is still in the aspect of fame and publicity.

Li Ang has heard about the support of the top management of Paris Saint-Germain for 272 and the desire to use him as a publicity display.

How dare Blanc, a head coach who has only been in office for less than a year, touch the godson of the oil tycoon?

When Li Ang thought of this, he put himself in Blanc's perspective and felt that his blood pressure rose suddenly! He could only shake his head repeatedly.

He sympathized with Blanc and Verratti very much.

So he decided to help the two of them and must give them an unprecedented Champions League defeat!

Uncover the gorgeous coat of 272 that looks good but has little use, and by the way, reveal all the problems of the current midfield combination of Paris Saint-Germain!

Verratti was in trouble. He didn't know why Li Ang suddenly targeted him and started to continuously confront and oppress him.

Although Lampard had also marked him when he was against him, Lampard's defensive interference did not directly affect Verratti's passing organization.

It was completely different when Li Ang took action himself.

He would not only actively oppress Verratti's receiving space, but he would also take the initiative to attack and try to cut off the passing connection between other Paris players and Verratti!

Even though Verratti successfully passed the ball forward to the retreating 272 several times.

But Li Ang only asked Lampard to retreat to defend 272, and he did not immediately return to defense.

Instead, he continued to stand between Verratti and the frontcourt offensive cluster of Paris Saint-Germain.

Li Ang's defensive choice seemed a bit arrogant, and he trusted his teammates too much.

But it turned out that Chelsea's other defensive players performed quite well today.

Even without Li Ang's sweeping in front of the penalty area, with the protection of Matic and Lampard, the central defender combination of Gary Cahill and Kalas can still defend the penalty area well.

Kalas used his flexible body and fast defense to successfully interfere with Higuain's receiving performance in and outside the Chelsea penalty area.

Kalas was calmer and more decisive than everyone imagined today.

He is calm because he has strong tactical execution and follows Gary Cahill's defensive command. He will not make mistakes unless necessary.

He is decisive because he will not hesitate when he should rush.

Especially when other defensive partners need him to attack and defend, he can often resolutely and strongly withstand the opponent's impact!

After more than half a year of tempering in the Premier League and England's domestic cup competitions, Kalas's immaturity has faded further.

Now he truly shows the dazzling brilliance of a defensive genius.

Even though the game has not yet passed halftime, the fans who watched the game know it.

Chelsea will gain another excellent center back with great potential who can be entrusted with important tasks.

With Matic playing steadily, Kalas playing exceptionally well, and Gary Cahill playing behind and calmly, how could Leon not be confident about the safety of his defense?

He took a little defensive risk by switching positions with Lampard and targeting Verratti's performance.

But now it seems that such a risk is totally worth taking.

Because the offensive rhythm of Paris Saint-Germain was disrupted!

Previously, even if an attack failed, the front players of Paris Saint-Germain could pass the ball back to Verratti, allowing him to reorganize the offensive method and route.

But now Verratti is made difficult to receive and pass the ball by Leon, and the two wingers of Paris Saint-Germain have to retreat to assist Verratti in passing the ball.

In this way, the offensive threat of Paris Saint-Germain's two wings has been greatly reduced.

Li Ang, the sharp knife in Mourinho's hand, directly hit the waist of Paris Saint-Germain at this moment.

If he moves and stabs twice, Paris Saint-Germain will not die immediately, but it will not be able to exert its strength on the offensive end.

Without a stable organization point, 272 avoids Li Ang and dares not retreat to the center line to get the ball and organize. Paris Saint-Germain's error rate on the offensive end is rising sharply!

Chelsea, which was slightly suppressed by Paris Saint-Germain in the first half, took the opportunity to increase the intensity of counter-attack.

Li Ang did not join the counter-attack army at this time. He seemed to have identified Verratti and coldly did not want to give Verratti any chance to play!

Blanco's hands were shaking slightly when he watched from the sidelines!

If he could replace 272 with Khedira or Pastore in this game, why would Paris Saint-Germain have such a hard time on the offensive end? !

Blanco felt very aggrieved and very angry.

But when he saw Matic intercept the ball from 272's feet and Li Ang raised his hand again for the ball, the frustration and anger in his mind disappeared completely.

All that was left was cold panic!

"Don't let Li Ang catch the ball!"

Blanco roared on the sidelines, but his panic could not stop Matic's accurate long pass!

Verratti reacted immediately, but he did not retreat immediately, trying to retreat to his own half one step ahead of Li Ang and form the first interception line with Motta.

He bravely stepped forward and tangled with Li Ang, who was two heads taller than him, and his hands had already grabbed Li Ang's jersey!

Li Ang had no doubt that if he wanted to stop the ball and turn around to advance with the ball, Verratti would not hesitate to trip him and leave him there!

Although Verratti was short, his defense was very firm, and he would definitely commit a tactical foul when it was time to do so.

So Li Ang quickly changed his mind about taking the ball.

Facing the high ball passed by Matic, Leon and Verratti retreated two steps.

Then he tightened his waist and abdomen, jumped on the spot, and headed the ball directly to Hazard who had already received it on the left side with a beautiful header!

Hazard stopped and dribbled, and then took advantage of the situation to force past Motta who was pressing him at the moment, and then took advantage of the speed advantage to speed up on the left side!

Verratti was helpless watching this scene, and he didn't care about limiting Leon's off-ball insertion.

Motta calmly walked back in a straight line in the middle, and Verratti had to quickly return to his own penalty area to limit De Bruyne who had sent a threatening pass before.

Another simple two-foot pass, Chelsea had already quickly hit the ball from the backcourt to the defensive hinterland of Paris Saint-Germain!

However, Hazard in this counterattack did not dare to be like De Bruyne last time, deliberately slowing down a beat and waiting for Leon and Lampard to advance into the penalty area of ​​​​Paris.

Because this time it was not Leon who was further back, but Lampard.

The speed of the genie is far inferior to Leon. It will take a long time for him to advance from the backcourt to enter the penalty area of ​​​​Paris.

If he arrives at the right time to grab the point, the defensive players of Paris Saint-Germain will also be in position.

So Hazard simply accelerated with all his strength, and he had to complete the threatening pass before the two lines of defense in the midfield and the penalty area of ​​​​Paris were organized!

At this moment, Ibrahimovic has raised his arms high in the penalty area of ​​​​Paris Saint-Germain, indicating that Hazard is fully prepared to grab the point.

Hazard looked at Ibrahimovic's tactical gesture with his fist, and his heart moved.

Before reaching the best cross area, Hazard directly sent a cross ball aimed at the front point of the penalty area of ​​​​Paris!

"Hazard suddenly kicked the ball and passed it to Ibrahimovic in front!!!"

He Wei, with a slightly hoarse voice, raised his voice again in the studio.

In the live broadcast, Ibrahimovic, who cooperated well with Hazard, suddenly accelerated and broke through Alex's defense, running to the front of the penalty area!

The Swedish magic tower met the pass sent by Hazard and completed a non-stop push shot!

At this moment, Lampard, who was still on the way forward, felt relieved and raised his arms to celebrate.

Tens of thousands of Paris Saint-Germain fans at the scene also covered their heads with sighs and exclamations!

No matter how you look at it, this ball is almost certain to go in!

Ibrahimovic is very good at this kind of difficult non-stop direct shot. Last season, he also scored such amazing goals many times in Paris.

So at this moment, the fans of Paris Saint-Germain suddenly felt desperate!

But this time Sirigu had enough time to react and make a save.

When he saw Ibrahimovic adjusting his pace and preparing to shoot, he subconsciously gave up the method of jumping up and down to save the ball.

He moved sideways and directly extended his right foot, trying to cover the area below the near corner of the goal with his entire leg!

This was very risky, but Sirigu had no choice now.

He knew that Ibrahimovic's footwork and shooting skills were superb, so he could only block one end with all his strength, either the upper half of the near corner of the goal, or the lower half of the near corner.

Fortunately, this time, he made the right bet!

A look of surprise flashed in Ibrahimovic's eyes, and his confident push just hit Sirigu's calf, and the football quickly bounced out of the penalty area!

At this moment, the Paris defenders in the penalty area and Ibrahimovic who was scrambling for the ball all turned their heads to look outside the penalty area.

The football bounced irregularly and rolled in front of a player who was urgently slowing down.

It was Bertrand!

Silva, who knew that the Chelsea full-back had a good long-range shot, had no time to look at Ibrahimovic.

He attacked immediately and ran towards Bertrand who had stopped the ball with great momentum!

"Ryan!"

A roar sounded in front of Bertrand's right!

Facing the aggressive Thiago Silva, Bertrand didn't have time to see who was calling him, and he pushed the ball directly across!

"I'll do it!"

Motta, who had retreated to the penalty area earlier to make up for the defense, looked at Li Ang who received the pass from Bertrand, and yelled, signaling Alex not to move lightly.

Li Ang had already set up his posture, and seemed to be accumulating power to shoot at the right edge of the penalty area of ​​​​Paris Saint-Germain!

This forced Motta to directly use the defensive method of shovel!

But Li Ang used a very clever fake shot and real dunk to shake off Motta who lost his position in the shovel.

Then he stretched his body again at the top of the penalty area of ​​​​Paris Saint-Germain, and this time he really wanted to shoot with force!

Although he shot with his left foot, Li Ang still shot a powerful long shot!

And he just dribbled the ball from the right side of the penalty area, and the whole person had moved horizontally to the middle of the penalty area with the ball.

If he uses his left foot to shoot again, he can better control the power and accuracy when he shoots in the middle of the goal or in the left half of the goal.

But Li Ang confidently kicked the ball to the right side of Paris Saint-Germain's goal!

Having just saved Ibrahimovic's fatal shot, Sirigu, who is now confident, is ready to save Li Ang's shot again!

But his predicted direction is on the right side of his body, but Li Ang's shot is completely opposite to his predicted result!

This moment of surprise made Sirigu's reaction to save the ball a little slower by 0.5 seconds.

It was this 0.5-second mistake that made this powerful shot finally brush his fingertips slightly and plunge into the goal behind him!

Thousands of Chelsea fans at the scene were almost crazy with joy at this moment!

2-0!

They took a 2-0 lead before the first half even ended for half an hour!

This time, Li Ang calmly stood in the penalty area of ​​​​Paris Saint-Germain, opened his arms and smiled at the live camera, which also completely triggered a great discussion and sensation in the football world!

Before the game, many fans and industry insiders thought that it would be a tough battle in the Champions League knockout round, but now Chelsea has turned it into a crushing game!

Li Ang, a famous football bottle opener during his time at Real Madrid, looks like he is going to give Paris Saint-Germain a super defeat today!
