Chapter 245 Guardiola, all encounters in this world are... [Please subscribe, big guys! ]
Li Ang's scandal reached the peak of the current football public opinion at the personal press conference held after he finished training that day on the afternoon of February 27!
In other words, when Li Ang directly admitted in the press conference that he was indeed dating his girlfriend.
Related topic news quickly swept the entire European football world.
Many fans were surprised, and many female fans were even more saddened by the news.
But the overall public opinion is still very tolerant of Li Ang. After all, he is about to turn 23 years old, and it is natural for him to have a serious relationship.
This does not conflict with the personality that Mendes had vigorously promoted for him before. He is in a normal relationship, not a one-night stand.
There are actually many players like him in the football world now, but he is the only one who can maintain such a clean private life with such a big status as him.
However, in the end, Li Ang did not directly announce Anastasia's identity. It was not that he did not want to, but Anastasia did not like to be followed by such a large group of fans.
After all, Anna was just a girl who had just finished high school. She felt a little uncomfortable when she was suddenly surrounded by so many citizens in the mall yesterday.
After recently catching up on many games about Li Ang and his popularity and reputation in the football world.
Anastasia also understood that if she wanted to be with Li Ang, she would either publicly bear the scrutiny and attention of countless people, or semi-publicly protect her private world as much as possible.
When she thought about the fact that she would be followed by the media whether she went to school or went shopping with friends, and even her family would be disturbed by reporters at any time.
Anna felt that she could not adapt to such a life.
So in the end, she took the initiative to ask Li Ang not to fully disclose her identity for the time being.
Perhaps when she finishes college and is fully prepared, she will be able to walk into the world followed by fans and the media.
Li Ang naturally respected the girl on this point, so no matter how the reporters asked questions in a roundabout or direct way at the press conference.
Li Ang did not mention any information about Anna's identity.
So now the fans only know that Li Ang's girlfriend is very young and beautiful (the information obtained by the Sun from interviewing the onlookers).
But how beautiful she is and which country she is from, no media has disclosed the information with conclusive evidence.
For fans who have no games to watch recently, such gossip naturally arouses their interest.
In addition, the big and small media in England continue to write eye-catching false and true reports.
For a while, the news publicity about Li Ang's love affair seemed to be about to overshadow the upcoming Chelsea and Manchester City League Cup final.
However, Mourinho and Guardiola are happy to see such news.
After all, the pressure of public opinion on the two of them and the players of the two teams was suddenly relieved a lot.
For Mourinho, the fact that Li Ang finally solved his personal emotional problems made him put aside his long-standing worries about Li Ang.
In the next few days, other Chelsea players on the training ground would tease and question Li Ang whenever they had the chance.
Every time Li Ang was "besieged" by his teammates and retreated step by step, Mourinho was also happy to see it, but in the end he still rescued Li Ang.
In the tense preparation rhythm, there were more laughter in the Cobham training base, and the Chelsea team also completed the last day before the game step by step.
In the afternoon of March 2, Wembley Stadium in London.
When sitting in the bus and entering the interior of Wembley Stadium with his teammates.
Li Ang's mind suddenly emerged with his wonderful memories of this stadium last summer.
On the stage of the Champions League final, he shone extremely.
Assisting teammates twice, Li Ang played an indispensable role in Real Madrid's overtaking of Bayern and finally laying the foundation for victory.
Defeating Bayern, winning the European derby in the Champions League final, enjoying the sweet fruits of defending the title after the Champions League reform...
These beautiful memories quickly flashed through Li Ang's mind.
When he and his teammates changed their equipment and went out to warm up, Li Ang looked at the huge Wembley Stadium with a kind look in his eyes.
This stadium was the blessed place of Mourinho's Real Madrid last year, and Li Ang also believed that today's Wembley will also be his blessed place.
Mourinho, who revisited the old place, also had mixed feelings.
He has had several cup-winning experiences in this stadium, and the one last summer was naturally the most wonderful and impressive.
However, what touched him most about this game was not the venue, but the old opponent and old friend he was most familiar with.
"I have already returned to the Premier League, why do I still have to compete with you for the domestic cup championship..."
Mourinho muttered in his heart, but when he thought of his opponent Guardiola, a smile quietly climbed up the corner of his mouth.
Guardiola was in the locker room at the moment. He did not take the time to copy and deduce the tactical arrangement on the tactical board as usual.
He stood in front of the tactical board, concentrating on the fine-tuning tactics Mourinho had used in the last three games.
After a while, he suddenly smiled and touched his hairless forehead.
"Is it really not necessary to review the tactics again? Pep, or let's emphasize to the players about the characteristics of Li Ang's running position..."
Manchester City's assistant coach was still a little nervous at the moment. After all, he had to face Mourinho, who he and Guardiola had not won much in the past three years.
And Mourinho's winning rate in cup games, especially in cup finals, is really too exaggerated.
He didn't want to be so nervous, but a cup championship was within reach, but the opponent they were going to face today was too difficult, and he was under too much pressure.
Guardiola shook his head gently, and then stopped looking at the tactical board, and turned to calm his assistant's emotions.
After the players on both sides finished warming up, the coaching staff of the two teams were confident, relaxed, or nervous.
They quickly restrained their emotions and tried to avoid interfering with the players' confidence in winning before the game.
In the last short 10 minutes, it was impossible to do a detailed review of the tactics.
These preparations had been carefully completed in the previous few days.
So at this point, the head coaches of the two teams still gave the task of mobilizing morale to the captains and core players of the team.
They did everything they could. And the final quality of the game still had to be led by the players themselves.
Nearing three o'clock in the afternoon, the players of Chelsea and Manchester City finally appeared on the stage amid the huge cheers of 90,000 fans on the scene!
Today's Wembley Stadium has already achieved a full house achievement early on.
For a huge stadium that can accommodate up to 90,000 fans, it is not easy to fill the stadium.
But who made today's League Cup final, the participating teams are just the top two teams in the current Premier League!
In the past, most Premier League fans would complain about the poor quality of the League Cup final and the viewing experience was not very good.
Because compared to the FA Cup, there are too many Premier League teams that gave up the League Cup.
Especially in some years, the participating teams in the League Cup final are two mid-to-lower Premier League teams, and even teams from the Championship.
The fans' enthusiasm will quickly cool down.
But before the start of this year's League Cup final, similar ridicules have never appeared again.
When watching Terry, Kompany, Aguero, Ibrahimovic, Silva, Leon... who appeared in the live camera one by one
Seeing the faces of these stars, even football superstars, appear, many neutral fans in front of the TV envied the fans of the two teams who could watch the game on the spot today.
And the extremely hot atmosphere on the scene today also made the players of the two teams excited.
This is an absolute big scene, with strong opponents, enthusiastic fans, and the attention is needless to say.
In addition to the championship honor and generous material rewards, what professional players pursue is not the popularity of topics that are followed by tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people?
Most players cannot be truly calm under such attention.
However, among the two teams that played today, there are really many players who are used to big scenes.
There is no need to say more about the experienced veterans.
Among the players who are in their prime, Fabregas and David Silva have won three consecutive international competitions with the Spanish national team from 2008 to 2012!
Two European Cup champions plus one World Cup champion, their national team resume is really too gorgeous.
At the club level, Li Ang has won three top league championships in the past three years, and two Champions Leagues, and has played very brilliantly in the Champions League finals.
As for other competitions such as the Italian Cup, the King's Cup, the Club World Cup and the European Super Cup, Li Ang has also performed very well.
For these players who have played too many strong dialogues and have experienced many tests in major finals.
The current League Cup final is not enough to make them feel nervous.
The expressions on Fabregas and Silva's faces are visibly more relaxed than other Manchester City players.
Li Ang went even further and nodded slightly to the live camera again, showing a smile.
Countless Chelsea fans saw Li Ang's smile and immediately felt a lot more at ease, thinking that at least Li Ang's performance in this final was stable!
Such a way of judging is somewhat metaphysical.
But this is not the fault of Chelsea fans. After all, quite a few metaphysical events have happened to Le Ang.
Even Li Ang's teammates, after seeing the smile on Li Ang's face at this moment, inexplicably became more confident.
However, Li Ang didn't know that his habitual smile added a layer of "group confidence buff" to his team.
After nodding to his old friend Fabregas in the Manchester City team during the handshake, Li Ang gradually restrained the smile on his face.
He took a deep breath and called on other teammates except captain Terry to trot to their own half, and his eyes gradually became deep and firm.
Kompany helped Manchester City get the first kick-off right, and Li Ang took advantage of the last bit of time before the game started to cover his mouth and communicate with Lampard for the last time.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of March 2, accompanied by the whistle of the referee on duty, the final of the 2013-2014 English League Cup officially kicked off at Wembley Stadium!
Manchester City, who took the lead in kicking off, was not in a hurry to launch a quick attack on Chelsea's half immediately.
Under Fabregas's main ball control organization, Manchester City quickly spread out its formation in its own half and passed the ball calmly and smoothly.
Li Ang looked at this familiar scene and raised his eyebrows.
At this moment, countless Premier League fans in front of the TV also recalled the tactics used by Manchester City and Chelsea last time they fought.
Not actively pressing forward, nor actively attacking.
At that time, Guardiola used a tactic of controlling instead of defending, trying not to give Chelsea the opportunity to seize the attack and defense transition.
In the end, he snatched a draw from Chelsea at that time.
"Does Guardiola intend to use the same tactics this time and prepare to play overtime with Chelsea?"
Such an idea popped up in many fans' minds, but then they quickly denied it.
Because Guardiola may occasionally use such a trick in the long league to avoid a decisive battle with Chelsea as much as possible.
But in a decisive cup final, Guardiola wants to play like this, but Mourinho may not necessarily cooperate with him.
And actively lost the team's advantage on the offensive end?
Does Guardiola really believe that his players can resist Chelsea's defensive pressure?
Many old fans have a clear understanding of the game, and Li Ang on the field is also very stable at this moment.
The opening tactics arranged by Mourinho today are not to force Manchester City to compete for control of the midfield.
So Chelsea can defend at the beginning, and if the opportunity arises, Chelsea can also decisively advance and try to attack first.
The tactical plan given by Mourinho is very detailed.
How to make tactical choices, Li Ang has a lot of say.
Unless he is hesitant or makes a serious mistake, Mourinho generally does not go off the field to adjust the tactical plan at the beginning of the game.
Li Ang chose to command his teammates to stick to the center line at this moment.
So when some neutral fans complained again today that Mourinho once again played a conservative style.
But they didn't know that such a tactical choice was made by Li Ang, who had the most luxurious personal data on the field at Chelsea.
Manchester City started a smooth but easily boring passing and backpass in the midfield.
However, Chelsea did not seem to be in a hurry. Even Li Ang did not cross the center line to grab the ball, so the other front players of Chelsea would not take the initiative to press the ball.
"I said that Li Ang would not be fooled.
He is not only a young lion who can hurt people suddenly, but also very patient.
When we did not expose the fatal part of his throat to him, he would rather hold back his thirst, he could hold back..."
Guardiola sat in the coaching seat, watching Li Ang constantly shouting or making tactical gestures to signal his teammates who crossed the line to pay attention to their defensive positions.
He explained to the assistants with a little pride in his tone.
It was as if he was showing off to his assistants:
"Look, I've said it before, I just want to know Li Ang better than you do.
Perhaps to some extent, my understanding of Li Ang is no worse than Mourinho's!"
Guardiola was not annoyed when he saw the failure of the tactical plan proposed by his assistants to give Chelsea the initiative in the opening attack.
At least all members of the Manchester City coaching staff understood that Chelsea still did not make mistakes in the cautiousness of tactical choices today.
And Guardiola would not consider giving the initiative of attack to the opponent completely in a game.
His Manchester City can play a quick counterattack and occasionally play a defensive counterattack.
But, his team must control the initiative of attack in most of the game!
This is Guardiola.
He wants to win, but he wants to win with his own tactical ideas!
Maybe he will never be able to create a team like 11 Barcelona that is almost perfect in his mind.
But on the road of continuous improvement and transcendence of his own tactical ideas, he will never stop.
Guardiola moved, he just walked to the sidelines and made a simple tactical gesture.
The Manchester City players on the field burst out with a completely different momentum in the next moment!
Today's Manchester City continued to use the 433 starting formation that they have become more and more familiar with recently.
Fernandinho, Yaya Toure and Fabregas began to steadily control the ball and press forward.
David Silva, Aguero and Nasri seemed to have confused their forward marks at this moment.
They were fully involved in Manchester City's offensive penetration, and retreating to receive the ball was a piece of cake for them.
Moreover, the three of them could also smoothly and continuously complete the position change, cross-involving Chelsea's midfield and backcourt defense.
Obviously different players, different midfield and offensive trident combinations.
But at this moment, Li Ang seemed to really see the old opponent that he and his Real Madrid teammates faced in the past two years!
A real sense of excitement burst out from the bottom of Li Ang's heart.
Guardiola has achieved initial success. He is not simply copying an 11-Barcelona team.
He is just continuing to practice his passing and controlling philosophy, and this Manchester City team has also gone a long way on the road of transformation!
The ideological foundation of tactics has been laid, and Guardiola's team has only truly appeared on the English court today!
Mourinho squeezed the knuckles of his fingers behind his back.
Li Ang finally made a move at this moment!
Fans all over the world once believed:
Facing a strong passing and controlling team, the only way to beat them is to stick to the center line, force the wing and rib area, and defeat the enemy with decisive fouls and sharp counterattacks.
This was also the most effective tactical plan Mourinho handed over to deal with Barcelona.
But after arriving at Real Madrid, Mourinho also used another completely different active offensive tactic to defeat Barcelona.
He took a lot of tactical risks, and he also formulated the most radical plan in defense.
But he succeeded in the end, and Mourinho's Real Madrid also established its reputation for two consecutive Champions League titles with its unique football tactics and sharp counterattacks!
At this moment, Li Ang led his teammates to advance instead of retreating, and pressed Manchester City in the opposite direction!
This was not a tactical decision made by him on a whim.
It was a tactical plan that Mourinho had already formulated before the game!
Admittedly, Chelsea now cannot be compared with the Real Madrid team that reached its peak last year.
But this Manchester City team is not the peak Barcelona that dominated Europe that year.
So Mourinho thinks it is feasible to use this aggressive pressure defense to deal with Manchester City, and Li Ang also believes in his teammates 100%.
They have gone through arduous preparation training, just to compete with Manchester City at this moment and play the performance they should play!
With Li Ang as the core of the pressing, Lampard assisted behind him to make up for the gap, Hazard and De Bruyne moved inward, Ibrahimovic retreated, and cooperated with teammates to double-team Manchester City's ball holder!
Chelsea really did it, and every offensive player in the frontcourt also fully served the pressure defense at the moment.
When Fabregas felt something was wrong, he quickly guided the ball to the wing.
Silva and Nasri, who turned around with the ball in their own half, found that in front of them, Azpilicueta and Bertrand had already pressed in place!
Chelsea is taking a big risk. They have invested a full seven players on the field in the forward pressing tactics!
If we also count Kalas, who is aggressive in defense at the moment and clings to Aguero.
Then the only ones who really stay in Chelsea's midfield and backcourt to provide defense are Terry and Matic!
Crazy!
If Manchester City wanted to set off a passing storm at Wembley, then Chelsea at this moment was a super hurricane that destroyed the storm!
More than 10,000 neutral fans at the scene seemed to have completely turned to Chelsea at this moment.
They cheered loudly with Chelsea fans, and the momentum directly overshadowed the Manchester City fans on the other side!
Facts have proved that it is not that fans don’t like to watch defense, they just don’t like to watch the passive defense of shrinking in the half court.
Like Chelsea’s active crazy scramble oppressive defense and on-the-spot counterattack at this moment, it can still arouse the passion of neutral fans!
Manchester City’s organization has become messy after all.
Maybe Fabregas is really strong.
He can also play a role that is not inferior to Iniesta in a tactical system with himself as the core of the midfield.
But the aging Yaya Toure is not his Xavi after all, and Fernandinho can’t be his Busquets.
This Manchester City team does not have a Messi of their own, who is able to take the ball and forcibly tear open the opponent's defense in a passive situation.
Without the terrifying blessing of superstars, Guardiola can only further strengthen his team's midfield configuration if he wants to play the dominant passing and controlling tactics in the past.
Such a midfield configuration cannot just be as simple as just overpowering his opponent, it must completely overpower the opponent!
Whether in terms of technology or running ability.
Guardiola's midfield combination must be so outstanding in order for his tactics to dominate the court again.
Maybe he will be able to do this in the future.
Because he has such ability and Manchester City has such financial resources, as long as Manchester City's senior management supports him enough, he has a much higher tolerance than other coaches.
But now Manchester City's midfield can't suppress Chelsea.
Especially when Li Ang entered the state of full attack early.
Manchester City's midfielders and backfield players soon realized what their head coach Guardiola once said that Li Ang could run out 0.5 more players!
With Lampard's filling, Li Ang no longer needs to pursue the stability and accuracy of predicting defense.
What he has to do now is to destroy, to completely destroy the rhythm of Manchester City's organization!
He and his teammates, including Ibrahimovic, don't care about physical fitness at all.
It's already a final to decide the winner.
Li Ang has long been accustomed to Mourinho's "all-in" behavior in the tough battle for the championship.
"Give everything for the championship", this is not a simple slogan.
This is the spiritual pillar that their Mourinho-style Real Madrid can create miracles to win the six crowns and complete the Champions League defense!
And from today, Mourinho and Li Ang will let all the young players of Chelsea understand the true meaning of this sentence.
The whistle in the referee's mouth began to sound frequently, because Chelsea's oppression defense was extremely aggressive. In such a confrontation, if the action was too big, it would be easy for the referee to call a foul.
However, although the referee blew the whistle relatively promptly, he saw that Chelsea's players did not deliberately make any malicious fouls.
So his whistle only stayed at the level of giving a verbal warning at most.
Manchester City still managed to keep their control of the ball, but Guardiola complained to the fourth official with some dissatisfaction at this time.
However, his complaint was more about putting pressure on the referee team, and he was not really angry.
Because he had long been accustomed to seeing the rhythm broken in the game with Mourinho.
Manchester City is playing very passively now, but Guardiola does not think that Chelsea has completely taken over the rhythm of the game.
Because Chelsea's midfield and backcourt defense is really empty at this moment!
Manchester City only needs one opportunity to penetrate Chelsea's current seemingly impenetrable pressure defense and give Aguero a chance to successfully receive the ball and get rid of Kalas!
Guardiola believes that the Argentine striker he is looking at will never be soft.
Mourinho dares to take big risks in defense, so how can he not be willing to gamble on this offensive opportunity? !
In the fierce fight and competition for the ball between the two sides, Chelsea has played two threatening steals and quick counterattacks.
But in the midfield where their defense was weak, Fabregas also made a sudden diagonal pass and almost connected with Nasri who was advancing!
If the experienced Terry had not taken a decisive step forward at the first time, the referee might not have raised the flag to indicate that Nasri was offside.
The offensive and defensive style of both sides, which was like dancing on the edge of a knife, and the fast-paced confrontation, made countless neutral fans in front of the TV scream with excitement!
This is the top battle of the Premier League they want to see!
They didn't expect that the two teams, who played the game so dull in the second match in the league, would become so "irritable" today.
But it was hard for the fans of the two teams at the moment. They were really nervous watching this game today.
Maybe in the first two seconds, they were still cheering that their players were about to penetrate the opponent's defense.
As a result, the next second, the ball was lost, and the opponent burned the war to their own half with just a few kicks!
In such a tense and exciting game, the fans of both teams seemed to have become more careful with their breathing, and their brains also felt erratic.
However, on the court, the midfield cores of both teams still had to remind themselves to stay absolutely awake.
Li Ang had done his best in defensive pressure on Fabregas and the fight for the ball.
The effect was very good. Whenever Chelsea grabbed the ball, Manchester City's midfielders and backfielders would be more nervous about his movements.
His offensive performance was less, but other Chelsea offensive players also gained more forward space.
If they continue to play, Chelsea's coaching staff and fans believe that they will definitely get more threatening opportunities than Manchester City.
Ibrahimovic, Hazard, including Lampard, they all have stable finishing abilities.
In terms of hard battles and chaotic battles, Chelsea has too many offensive players.
Maybe they just need time, and need to wait patiently for the opportunity to appear...
Li Ang was not very clear about the time period of the game, he estimated that it should have been after the first 20 minutes.
Hazard, who had previously had more offensive possession, was unable to pass Zabaleta this time and successfully break into the vicinity of Manchester City's penalty area.
With Ibrahimovic being closely watched by Kompany, Hazard did not risk a hard pass, but brought the ball out and passed it to Lampard who supported him.
Seeing this, Li Ang took the initiative to retreat two steps, opening up a safe space for receiving the ball, and Lampard's return pass also came.
De Bruyne and Azpilicueta actively pressed forward on the left side of Manchester City, where the number of defenders was slightly weak, and Li Ang also dribbled the ball over in time.
He actually did not have many points to pass the ball at this moment, and after Lampard passed the ball back to him, he fell into Manchester City's defensive double-teaming.
So he either quickly passed the ball to De Bruyne, and let De Bruyne and Azpilicueta try to go down the right side.
Or he would pass the ball back to Matic, and then call on his teammates to withdraw from Manchester City's defensive double-teaming, and then reorganize the offensive direction.
But this time, Li Ang did not choose either of these two rational passing plans.
He passed the ball to the front of his right foot, and at the moment when he seemed to be about to pass the ball, Li Ang suddenly stepped down and dribbled the ball, avoiding Silva's retreating interception as if he had eyes behind him!
Yaya Toure, who was only two meters in front of Li Ang before, saw that Li Ang was forced to turn around to protect the ball by Silva's back-to-back interception, and his eyes suddenly lit up!
He did not hesitate, and quickly pressed forward and ran towards Li Ang. It seemed that he was about to complete the defensive double-teaming with Silva on Li Ang, forcing Li Ang to pass the ball back.
But just when the two of them were active and positive, they both lost their defensive positions.
Li Ang, who had previously dribbled the ball and turned around, seemingly wanting to run to his own half of the field with the ball, nimbly hooked the ball with his left foot and turned to Manchester City's half again!
He accelerated and rushed out from the gap between the two men before they closed!
His quick and flexible dribbling and turning movements did not look like a 1.85-meter-tall player at all!
Generally, players of this size would have poor coordination and agility when doing such a continuous 180-degree turn.
But Li Ang fooled Yaya Toure and David Silva by turning in circles like this!
Guardiola's brain was also in a trance at this moment.
In his eyes, it seemed that the person wearing Chelsea's No. 10 jersey was not Li Ang, but Xavi, whom he missed!
"It appears! Xavi's classic escape move! Li Ang broke through the defense of Yaya Toure and David Silva! He continued to dribble the ball towards Manchester City's defense!!!"
Zhan Jun, like countless Chinese fans at this moment, was extremely surprised to see Li Ang break through the siege and lead the way to Manchester City's next line of defense!
At this moment, not to mention Manchester City's defensive players, even most of Chelsea's players did not expect it.
Facing the double-team defense, Li Ang was able to break out so easily!
At this moment, Fabregas, who was helping his teammates to keep an eye on Hazard's movements on the other side of the half, put Hazard down without hesitation and rushed directly to intercept Li Ang.
Fernandinho dared not move lightly. If he moved, if Li Ang went over again or passed a threatening ball, then the passive Manchester City's double central defenders would be!
So Fabregas's first defensive choice was extremely correct.
He actually knew that he was unlikely to stop Li Ang, but as long as he interfered with Li Ang's advance, Fernandinho behind him would be able to make more adequate defensive preparations.
But Fabregas still overestimated his interception speed.
Not to mention interfering with Li Ang, after Li Ang accelerated again, he didn't even touch Li Ang's jersey!
And Li Ang, who once again forced Fabregas to eat him alive, had reached his peak speed at this moment.
If he could be faster, he could directly pull to the side like Di Maria or Robben, continue to blast, and then try to cut inside and break into Manchester City's penalty area!
Unfortunately, in terms of double-speed burst, he has not yet reached the level of these two top wingers in football.
But when facing Fernandinho, he still has a speed advantage.
Because his endurance is strong enough, even after continuous bursts, his speed has not slowed down at all.
Li Ang suddenly recalled what Kaka told him about the difficulty of long-distance running and the key to success when he asked for advice.
"... When your speed and dribbling and ball-controlling abilities have reached the basic requirements, in fact, in terms of long-distance back-running attacks, the first thing you need to do is to maintain your confidence.
Little lion, if you really have the opportunity to make such an attack, you must first believe in yourself, and secondly, you must believe in your teammates!
Not only do you have to believe that they will take the initiative to run and create more threatening passing space for you, you also have to believe that they will see your forward route..."
In a flash, Li Ang and Fernandinho almost passed each other!
Fernandinho certainly didn't want to give Li Ang the chance to continue dribbling forward.
But Li Ang no longer had the ball at his feet!
Without slowing down, Li Ang suddenly poked the ball to Fernandinho's right hand when there was still a one-meter gap between him and Fernandinho!
Then he accelerated and passed by Fernandinho's left side!
Fernandinho was shocked, but no matter how fast he turned, he couldn't be faster than Li Ang who kept moving forward at the fastest speed!
And Li Ang's passing target at this moment didn't need to be thought about at all, it would only be the Swedish magic tower!
As expected, Fernandinho saw Ibrahimovic who quietly pulled out of Manchester City's penalty area at some point and took the initiative to meet Li Ang's pass.
For Ibrahimovic, a back-to-back pass did not have any technical difficulty at all.
He even adjusted the angle slightly before the ball rolled to his feet.
Li Ang rushed into the Manchester City penalty area, and Kompany, who had followed Ibrahimovic before, shouted the name of his defensive partner Nastasic anxiously at this moment!
Unfortunately, his partner did not have the same excellent offside awareness as him.
At the moment when Ibrahimovic passed the ball sideways to the Manchester City penalty area, half of Nastasic's foot fell in front of Li Ang's whole body!
His mistake made Li Ang and Ibrahimovic perform an extremely tacit pass-run cooperation at Wembley Stadium!
On the right side of the Manchester City penalty area, Li Ang slowed down his speed, and at the moment when his right foot almost perfectly unloaded the ball, he saw Joe Hart who abandoned the goal.
The physical condition of the England goalkeeper is very superior.
He has long arms and legs. After approaching Li Ang, he quickly expanded his blocking interference area as much as possible.
Before the start of this game, he had done another extremely detailed characteristic analysis of Li Ang.
He knew that there were actually two most stable ways for Li Ang to score in the penalty area.
One was to advance and compete for the header, and the other was to volley the ball into the upper corners of the goal.
At this moment, Li Ang could not head the ball, and there was almost no angle for volleying, so Joe Hart was very confident.
He would never give Li Ang any chance to shoot from the far corner!
The excitement of the Chelsea fans watching this scene seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water.
"It would be nice to have a corner kick..."
More Chelsea fans even took the initiative to excuse Li Ang in front of the TV.
But in fact, there was no panic or regret on Li Ang's face at this moment.
After unloading the ball, facing Joe Hart who was rushing towards him with his teeth and claws, Li Ang's right foot swung slightly and made a standard push shot that was the most conventional!
This neat push shot was not beautiful at all.
But the shot was of the right strength, and the arch of the foot was also hit solidly.
The football quickly passed through the crotch space between Joe Hart's legs along the grass, then crossed the line smoothly and went into the near corner of Manchester City's goal!
Joe Hart, dumbfounded, subconsciously clamped his legs and quickly got down to the ground, but he didn't touch anything in the end.
When he turned his head and watched the football cross the line, there was only a helpless roar in his mind!
"Leon! You big liar! Don't you know how to shoot normally??!!"
At this moment, many fans were actually as confused and shocked as Joe Hart.
Could it be that Li Ang has really practiced even conventional shooting? !
Unfortunately, their doubts could not be answered by anyone at this moment, and commentators from various countries were completely excited at this moment!
Mourinho once again took off the calm expression on his face.
After seeing Li Ang score this key goal that fully demonstrated the style of a superstar, he was the first to roar out of the coaching seat!
The young and strong Lukaku was not as fast as his 50-year-old head coach this time!
And under the impact of the crazy sound waves at the scene like a tsunami.
Li Ang first pointed to the live camera near the Manchester City baseline, and then completely ignited the passion and blood of all Chelsea fans with a wild roar!
Li Ang celebrating wildly, Mourinho passionately, and Guardiola standing on the sidelines staring at Li Ang with helpless and bitter eyes!
Time and space seemed to start flowing backwards at this moment. Such a familiar scene has been staged more than once in the European football world in the past three years!
Li Ang under the live camera, after the wild and explosive roar celebration, seemed to subconsciously smile and look at Guardiola.
"Guo Shuai, all encounters in this world are reunions after a long absence~"
The foodie went to sleep. Alas, I really want to adjust my work and rest time as soon as possible...
