Chapter 276 In This Era, I Am the Destiny!

Aguero, who scored a crucial goal, was also very excited in the stands facing the boiling fans.

After roaring and beating his chest, he seemed to want to take off his jersey directly to vent his excitement.

However, David Silva was quick to stop him and prevented him from doing such a stupid thing.

All the Manchester City players felt that they were full of strength at this moment.

Because they relied on their firm confidence in their own tactics to get the results they wanted most at the beginning of the second half!

This shows that their persistence is correct, and the tactical concept they believe in is also correct!

Compared with the results of winning or losing one or two games, it is quite cruel to let professional players accept that their team-building tactics are wrong.

On the other hand. Being able to make the players have an extremely firm confidence in the coaching team's team-building tactics is itself a shot of the most rapid and effective heart tonic!

"Team morale" is a metaphysical thing that has never been stably controlled on the field.

The head coach is only effective for a while.

What is rare is the long-term continuous explosive performance.

Manchester City, which was already two goals behind in the first half, was able to start the second half with great momentum and successfully scored a goal.

It is rare in the professional arena.

This reminded Li Ang of the Juventus team in his memory that almost overturned Real Madrid's dominance in the Champions League and almost led the miracle comeback in the original timeline.

The Juventus team in the 17-18 season was absolutely behind in the score and was also at a disadvantage in terms of hard power.

In the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals, Juventus allowed Real Madrid to score three away goals, but they did not score a single goal.

Under the premise that there was almost no hope of a comeback, Juventus was able to unite as one and force Real Madrid, which was much stronger than themselves, into a desperate situation!

It was their high morale throughout the second round and the desperate attack they launched since the start of the game!

It is not appropriate to compare such a crucial Champions League quarter-final with today's Premier League match between Chelsea and Manchester City.

But Manchester City in the second half of this game did have many similarities with Juventus in the Champions League knockout match that Li Ang remembered.

They both chose to take unexpected and resolute risks in tactics.

And after the initial success of the risk, their rising team momentum further stimulated their potential in the game.

You can say that these two teams got the opportunity to continue to deal with powerful opponents because of part of their gambling luck.

If the first goal they expected did not come, and Real Madrid and Chelsea seized the opportunity to score the last goal to kill the game.

Then their desperate actions would become quite ridiculous.

But no one can deny that they really relied on courage to fight for the opportunity to keep them on the stage!

Li Ang likes and respects such opponents.

But he also doesn't want to be a supporting villain who is used as a stepping stone in a shocking reversal!

Guardiola and Manchester City's players on the field have their own ways to compete for the initiative of the game attack.

And Li Ang naturally has his own way to interrupt the fantasy and reversal ambition of his opponents!

He has fought against the Dream Three Barcelona at the end of its peak, and he has also faced off against the Bayern Munich and the peak Hornets.

At the most embarrassing time, he was dribbled by Messi, and Messi was still able to pass and shoot perfect data under his full-court defense.

Even in such a difficult moment, facing a stronger opponent than the current Manchester City, Li Ang did not panic or doubt himself.

He ate a large part of the reputation bonus in the process of establishing the Mourinho Real Madrid dynasty.

But don't forget that every tough battle Real Madrid fought in those two seasons was soaked with his endless blood and sweat!

"You are already very strong, but unfortunately, this intensity is not enough... far from enough!"

In the live camera, Li Ang, who had already stood in position in advance, suddenly showed a completely ferocious smile to the Manchester City players!

Yes, unlike the calm and gentle smile in the past, Li Ang, who showed his two rows of white teeth at this moment, was full of excitement and ferocity in his smile!

His arrogant smile, which had never been shown in public before, immediately caught the eyes of tens of thousands of Manchester City fans at the scene!

The Etihad Stadium, which was still boiling with cheers, also burst into angry boos in an instant!

Guardiola suppressed the joy in his eyes, and his heart tightened inexplicably when he saw Li Ang, who was very different from the past.

At this moment, Mourinho, who was standing not far from him, had a look in his eyes, and he had more expectations for Li Ang while thinking!

If Li Ang wanted to take more tactical responsibilities at such a moment.

There is no doubt that he can unconditionally trust the midfield core he has trained!

What is he worried about for Li Ang now?

The fastest-improving supernova in La Liga.

The MVP of the Champions League final, the MVP of the King's Cup final in the peak battle with Barcelona, ​​and the Premier League MVP selected by three authoritative selection agencies in the Premier League last season!

Perhaps today's home court fortune will indeed bring a great boost to Manchester City's combat power.

But Mourinho still believes that Li Ang will be the lucky boy with his own metaphysics.

At least in the Premier League last season, Li Ang has proved it many times.

He is the most powerful superstar in the league now, and he is also the most capable of controlling the trend of a game!

Thinking of this, Mourinho temporarily postponed the idea of ​​making emergency substitutions.

He did not convey updated tactical instructions to the Chelsea players on the field.

Now Li Ang does not need to understand his meaning first.

Every Chelsea player on the field understands that Mourinho has made the decision to give Li Ang unlimited power!

Their tactical tone is the same as before, and they still have to continue to fight against Manchester City, but the tactical details on the field must be controlled by Li Ang himself.

This is an absolute trust from the coaching staff that is enough to make the rest of the Chelsea first-team players, except Li Ang, feel envious and even jealous!

But in fact, at this moment, the Chelsea first-team players on the field, including the bench, are not dissatisfied with Li Ang's trust in Mourinho's "favoritism".

On the one hand, Li Ang's super strength makes them admire him from the bottom of their hearts. On the other hand, it is the huge responsibility that is visible to the naked eye and trusted and put on Li Ang's shoulders!

The enjoyment of tactical rights and the bearing of tactical responsibilities are often derived together on the field.

As the core midfielder of Bayern last season, Kroos now understands better than other Chelsea players what Li Ang dares to take over such a tactical task.

He felt a sincere relaxation of body and mind, and admired Li Ang even more in his heart.

At the most critical moment, with such a team core and midfield partner to rely on, Kroos felt that his emotions suddenly calmed down.

Most of the other Chelsea players on the field are the same.

Li Ang dares to stand out and has the responsibility of being the boss, so they will naturally feel at ease in their hearts.

And Ibrahimovic and Terry, who are used to playing games, helped Li Ang further stabilize the mentality of young teammates in front and behind the team.

The strong self-confidence in Li Ang soon affected the several Manchester City players closest to him.

When he showed his aura as a football superstar, Aguero and Fabregas also inevitably had a sharp increase in psychological pressure!

After all, they were beaten by Li Ang several times on the field last season.

Whether it was caution or inertia, Manchester City's players on the field subconsciously paid more attention to defending Li Ang.

This excessive double-teaming did not make Li Ang feel annoyed.

On the contrary, he saw more offensive options in the increasingly difficult ball-holding environment.

Li Ang still handed over most of the organization and dispatch work to Kroos.

Compared with the high-position pressure of Manchester City now, Kroos in Li Ang's memory is a super organizer who is not afraid of Atletico's pressing at its peak.

And the facts soon proved the correctness of Li Ang's trust in Kroos.

In the case that Li Ang did not retreat too much to participate in the organization, Kroos was able to transfer Chelsea's midfield and backcourt possession to the well-organized with the help of Matic.

His body shape is not as agile as Iniesta, but his ability to protect the ball and get rid of it is not bad at all, and his ability to pass the ball with both feet is balanced.

As long as he does not meet a ball-grabbing machine like Li Ang who can lower his posture and closely guard the whole game, it is difficult for Kroos to be disturbed by the opponent.

At least at this time, Manchester City's midfielders and frontcourt players failed in their attempts to press Kroos.

Guardiola once again felt an inexplicable tension.

Manchester City's frequency of regaining the ball on the court has become slower and slower.

Among them, Kroos's performance has become better and better, and there are almost no passing errors.

At the same time, Guardiola is also very clear that his disciples have reached a critical time point where they must slow down their physical fitness.

Not all teams are suitable for being trained as track and field teams.

Compared with last season, the new Manchester City has made a significant improvement in running ability.

But compared with Chelsea, this Manchester City's physical fitness is still at an absolute disadvantage.

It was not easy for Manchester City players to fight Chelsea for more than 60 minutes, with tough confrontation and desperate counterattack.

Of course, Manchester City is not going to be beaten by Chelsea.

But if Manchester City wants to withstand the pressure and continue to fight Chelsea at the last moment, it must find at least five minutes to slow down the pace in the interval of the game.

This five-minute break is the lifeline of Manchester City.

Guardiola was very keenly aware of this, and he also called Nasri to warm up.

If nothing unexpected happens, Manchester City will directly change to 442 in the end, further strengthening the ability to stabilize the rhythm and offensive penetration in the midfield.

Compared with the conservative on-the-spot adjustments in other games, Guardiola believes that he has played an extraordinary on-the-spot performance in this game.

But just when Nasri was still trying to warm up.

Li Ang, who had been responding rationally to Manchester City's defensive double-teaming, suddenly held the ball and forcibly knocked away Fabregas who was approaching him, and then started a brutal and forced advancement!

Guardiola looked at Li Ang who suddenly attacked, and a strange thought suddenly came to his mind.

"Is he also waiting for such a time point to force the game to continue to speed up?!"

A big question mark appeared in front of Guardiola.

Although Li Ang's forced advancement was finally stopped by Kolarov and Fernandinho.

But Manchester City's midfielders and backfielders did not succeed in regaining the ball.

Because Li Ang protected the ball at the last moment and passed it back to Azpilicueta who came forward to meet him!

After a round of twists and turns, Kroos got the ball again in Chelsea's half. Manchester City's players subconsciously exhaled, thinking in their hearts:

This time it will be quiet for a while, right?

But Li Ang quickly retreated to ask for the ball, and then took the initiative to face Fabregas again and made a brutal advancement!

Manchester City's rest plan was completely ruined. Li Ang led his frontcourt teammates to continuously launch offensive attacks on Manchester City's half.

Fernandinho immediately became the most tired Manchester City player on the field.

In the 68th minute of the second half, Li Ang suddenly changed his previous forced advancement mode after receiving the ball, and turned his back to pass the ball back to Kroos who was advancing.

And this time Kroos did not hesitate to send a straight pass along his own right side!

De Bruyne, who had been silent for nearly 15 minutes before, made a tacit forward pass, and then just one step into Manchester City's defensive third zone, he passed the ball to the middle with a strong pass!

Ibrahimovic, who withdrew from the penalty area in advance, did not choose to stop the ball. After withstanding Kompany's close defense, he directly kicked the ball back again.

The Manchester City midfield and backcourt defense line, which had been pulled apart by De Bruyne and Ibrahimovic's passing and running, could not stop Li Ang and Kroos who were inserted from behind!

Hazard's diagonal insertion on the left made Mangala dare not leave the penalty area easily!

After easily getting the ball, Li Ang had at least two threatening passing routes at this moment.

However, this time he did not pass the ball to Kroos and Hazard who inserted diagonally into Manchester City's penalty area.

After getting the ball, Li Ang rushed to the penalty area of ​​Manchester City.

Fabregas, who followed him back to defend, was slower in speed. Seeing this, Fernandinho could only let go of Kroos and rushed to Li Ang who was holding the ball!

The two of them, one in front and one behind, formed a double-teaming defense against Li Ang.

But just when Fernandinho was about to fight with Li Ang.

Li Ang nimbly touched the ball with his left foot, and then dodged Fernandinho's foot!

This was almost an instinctive dribbling action from Li Ang, but there was still a little sense of disobedience, so that Fernandinho, who was passed, was stunned for a while!

Li Ang's tall figure now makes him look not very handsome and beautiful when he makes a passing action.

But at this moment, being able to shake off a space enough to kick is completely enough for Li Ang!

Looking at the several tall and strong men blocking the Manchester City penalty area at the moment, Li Ang raised his mouth corners, then quickly swung his legs, and used full force to blast the ball to the upper left corner of Manchester City's goal!

Valdes relied on his rich experience in saving shots, and he was still able to make stable saving choices for shots that could be traced.

What about this powerful shot that was completely beyond his expectations?

Valdes, whose defensive vision was disturbed by several players fighting in the penalty area, almost didn't see Li Ang's leg swinging action clearly.

He stood in front of the goal in a daze, and when he saw the trajectory of the football clearly, the football that cut through the air had already plunged into the dead corner of the goal behind him!

Silence!

The Etihad Stadium fell into complete silence at this moment!

Li Ang opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag area of ​​Manchester City's half again!

His figure seemed to have turned into a huge shadow, pressing on the hearts of all Manchester City fans!

"Want to turn the tables?

I won't give you such a chance.

The past era of Messi and Ronaldo was indeed exciting enough.

But you must remember this from today.

In this new era.

I am the destiny!"
