Chapter 280 What, You Guys at Arsenal Also Want to Be the New Boss?

The interview speech made by Li Ang after his team defeated Sporting Lisbon made many Sporting Lisbon fans feel very annoyed after the game!

Chelsea has indeed performed very strongly in the Champions League since last season, but in the eyes of Sporting Lisbon fans:

You are such a big rich team, Chelsea, you play well, but our season investment is only a fraction of yours, it is not worth it to mock us after winning the game, right?

As a result, before the fans of Chelsea could make any explanation, the neutral fans who like to watch the fun spoke up for Li Ang:

Hey, don't get me wrong!

The little lion is not just referring to your team's rubbish performance, he is saying that in this group, except Chelsea, the other three teams are rubbish!

Well, now the injured fan group has expanded from Sporting Lisbon to the other three fans in Group G.

Schalke 04 was innocently caught in the crossfire.

But at this moment, Schalke 04 fans are basically also angry about the result of their team's draw with Maribor.

The performance was rubbish?

Isn't that the truth?

When the first round of the Champions League group stage was just over and Sporting Lisbon was tied by Maribor, Schalke 04 fans were still gloating.

After all, it was expected that they would not beat Chelsea in the first round.

But Schalke 04 fans did not believe that their team would be as bad as Sporting Lisbon, and could not even hold a team from the Slovenian league.

Now, the boomerang has really come back to them.

Schalke 04 fans felt that their mentality exploded after the second round of the Champions League group stage.

Facing the media's mocking reports of Li Ang's remarks, even many Schalke 04 fans felt that Li Ang was right!

If Schalke 04 had won Maribor steadily in this round of group matches, it would not have been ridiculed by Li Ang, right?

In the eyes of more neutral European fans, there was nothing wrong with Li Ang's remarks.

Of course, fans who don't like it can also say that Li Ang's mentality is inflated.

If Chelsea fails to beat Maribor in the future, then what Li Ang said today will definitely make him a clown in public opinion.

But if Chelsea advances to the next round with a perfect record in the Champions League group, Li Ang's "madness" will only become his confidence advantage.

Anyway, at present, many young fans like Li Ang's straightforward personality and confident attitude.

Of course, after pretending to be tough and returning to London, Li Ang will definitely be nagged by Mourinho again.

Li Ang thinks that there is nothing wrong with occasionally telling the truth and being more confident based on strength.

And in this regard, Li Ang thinks Mourinho and him are very similar.

The difference is that Mourinho usually likes to be arrogant before the game, and if he wins after the game, he will say more good things about the opponent.

He himself doesn't like to say too much before the game. He prefers to wait until after the game to express his confidence in the game with the results.

However, despite his inner thoughts, Li Ang still said that he understood Mourinho's education and would definitely change in the future.

As for whether it will really change or "I understand this time, I will definitely do it next time", it depends on how accurately Li Ang can judge Mourinho's mood~

In the near future, after winning two consecutive Champions League games and currently pulling four points ahead of the second place in the Champions League group, Mourinho was so happy that his whole face became much kinder.

Li Ang looked at the recent team schedule and immediately understood.

The next round of the Premier League will not start until five days later, and the whole team will have enough time to rest and prepare.

And after the seventh round of the Premier League, there will be another two-week international match day.

Without the pressure of the schedule, after winning the seventh round of the Premier League, Chelsea will be able to achieve the "small goal" of ten consecutive wins in various competitions after the start of the new season.

No matter whether Chelsea's record will be turbulent after the international match day.

At least in the one and a half months after the start of the new season, Chelsea has achieved a perfect record.

With a goal of ten consecutive wins at the start of the game in front of them, the players in the Chelsea team are naturally full of motivation.

However, seeing the opponents to be faced in the next round of the league, Mourinho and his assistants still dare not relax their vigilance.

After returning to London, Chelsea's main players who played in the Champions League all got a day off.

But Mourinho only rested for half a day and then plunged into the intense preparations again.

At the same time, the British media, who had just finished the Champions League traffic, also hyped up the upcoming London derby non-stop!

In the seventh round of the Premier League, Chelsea will be at home and face the challenge of Arsenal, another Premier League powerhouse in the London region.

This is another focus battle that has attracted the attention of media and fans all over England after the fifth round of the Premier League between Chelsea and Manchester City in the new season!

This Arsenal in the new season is different from the past. This year, Wenger's team has achieved particularly fast results, changing the previous years of tepid performance in the first half of the season and exerting strength in the second half.

After the first six rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal currently has four wins and two draws, with 14 points, ranking only behind Chelsea.

Moreover, in the last round of the league, they just beat their arch-rival Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 at home.

In the second round of the Champions League group stage, Arsenal beat Galatasaray 4-0.

Two clean wins are in sight, and Arsenal's recent game form is also visibly excellent.

Like Manchester City, this year's Arsenal has made a slight improvement in strength compared to last summer.

After all, the lineup and tactics have gone through a full season of running-in, and the current Arsenal, that is, the wing attack strength has not been upgraded.

Their forward line and midfield defense are still at the top level of the entire Premier League.

Although Mourinho thinks that Arsenal is still not Chelsea's opponent in terms of lineup strength, the two teams have not officially competed in the new season.

With full caution and careful observation, on October 5, Mourinho made the final tactical preparations before the big battle with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

Li Ang also carefully observed all Arsenal players during the pre-match warm-up.

To be honest, there is not much difference between this season's Arsenal and last season in terms of lineup personnel composition.

After all, the ownership of Arsenal Club is still in a tug-of-war, and the two big bosses of the team want to swallow the other side in one go before making the next investment.

In this case, it is impossible for the bosses on both sides to pay too much money for Wenger to continue to buy big.

So after the lavish purchases last season, Mr. Wen returned to the past days of careful management.

The little demon continues to be trained, and those who can be promoted to the first team in the youth training talent pool will be promoted, and those who cannot be promoted will be resold.

However, with Cavani and Toulalan introduced last season supporting the team, Arsenal’s current lineup problem is not big.

There is only one premise, these two people must not be injured.

If one is injured, Arsenal’s record will be turbulent, and if two are injured, Arsenal can only go back to the route of fighting for the top four.

So facing such an Arsenal, although Li Ang attaches great importance to them in his heart, he will not regard them as the main league competitors like Manchester City.

The bench is not deep enough. The main lineup is strong, but the young players in the rotation lineup are too nervous.

And there is another fatal point, that is, many players in Arsenal's current main lineup are too fragile.

Arteta was injured just after the third round of the Premier League in the new season and could not continue to play.

Flamini, who is now partnering with Toulalan, seems to be performing well, but if he is not careful later, he may have to lie in bed with Arteta.

As for the frontcourt, let's not talk about Walcott, the old patient.

Wilshere, who currently firmly controls a main position in Arsenal, is the same as Flamini.

At present, it seems that the performance is fine and the body is still quite healthy, but I am afraid that he will get injured inexplicably and then lie in bed for half a season.

And to be honest, the midfield combination of Wilshere and Cazorla has no problem against most teams in the Premier League.

But once they meet Chelsea, their shortcomings in confrontation will be infinitely magnified.

Li Ang is still quite confident of winning today's so-called big battle.

There is no way. Since his debut, he has never lacked the experience of playing against so-called technical teams.

He can now say that he knows how to compete with these teams and restrain the performance of the core players of these teams with his eyes closed.

If Toulalan could be five years younger, the professor would not have to train another Vieira to partner with him, and would only use Alexander Songlai, who was around 2010, to partner with Toulalan to form a double defensive midfielder.

Then this Arsenal can take off directly!

Li Ang will also regard them as the biggest rivals for himself and Chelsea to defend the Premier League title!

It’s a pity that Arsenal now only has an old Toulalan and Flamini and Arteta who take turns lying in bed.

Coquelin is just a mediocre choice, and he can’t support Arsenal.

Li Ang doesn’t believe that without a strong enough waist, the so-called beautiful football can really succeed on the field and be popular in the entire football world.

When Guardiola led Barcelona to harvest football honors, he never worried about the position of defensive midfielder.

So if a team really wants to rise and prosper.

If the forward line is not good enough, they can slowly change players and adjust. If the back line is not stable enough, they can also slowly try and make mistakes and use one or two seasons to buy players to run in.

But if the waist is not strong enough, there is absolutely no possibility of successful rise!

And looking at Flamini who was doing warm-up exercises with Turan on the court at this moment, Li Ang soon had a plan in his mind.

At about 1:30 pm local time in London, with the referee's whistle, Arsenal, who was playing away, kicked off first and quickly started to attack Chelsea, who was in a defensive posture.

Arsenal is not Manchester City. They will not put too much effort in controlling the ball in the midfield and backcourt. Overall, the current Arsenal's offense still emphasizes forward penetration.

So Chelsea did not directly use the crazy running flow tactics of high pressure on Arsenal like they did against Manchester City.

The crazy running flow tactics are useful, but the overdraft of players' physical fitness and health is still too serious.

After many trials, Chelsea's players and coaching staff have come to a conclusion about the timing of this tactic.

If you want to use the crazy running tactic, you must establish a big enough score advantage in the first 70 minutes of the game.

Otherwise, once the game exceeds 70 minutes, Chelsea will collapse tactically due to physical exhaustion without the opponent's forced attack.

This situation can be improved through continuous physical distribution experiments. In some extreme cases, it is no problem to grit your teeth and stick to the whole game.

But at least today, against Arsenal, Mourinho felt that there was no need to take risks.

Li Ang told him before the game that he was confident that he could play against Arsenal's midfield and backcourt defense.

Mourinho was also interested in his own ace's confident speech.

His tactical arrangement today was still relatively conventional. Facing Arsenal, who played 4231, he arranged a 433 starting formation.

He also wanted to see what method Li Ang planned to use today to directly penetrate Arsenal's double defensive midfielder combination.

Just after ten minutes in the first half, Li Ang ended his running observation and took the initiative to retreat for the ball for the first time.

After taking the ball and turning around, Leon first dribbled the ball to avoid Wilshere's foot interception, and then he went straight forward and ran towards Flamini who was standing in front!

As the closest defender in the entire midfield of Arsenal, Toulalan naturally could not lose his position to double-team Leon.

After thinking for a second, Toulalan directed Flamini to retreat with him, and when Cazorla returned to the right position, Flamini and Cazorla could double-team Leon.

This is what Toulalan thinks is the safest way to deal with Leon.

Flamini naturally has no opinion, he and Leon have been teammates in Milan for half a season.

Leon is completely a level ahead of him in speed and confrontation ability, not to mention other aspects.

Flamini does not want to be Leon's defensive background board, so he retreats very actively.

But Leon also knows Flamini's playing habits, and he had a plan before the game, so how could he give him time to retreat calmly during the game?

As soon as he advanced, Li Ang had already increased his speed. The retreat of Flamini and Turan gave him space to accelerate further!

So Flamini soon discovered in horror that no matter how timely he retreated, it seemed that he was not as fast as Li Ang who accelerated with all his strength to catch up with the ball!

Seeing that he would retreat to his own penalty area line if he retreated further, Cazorla and Wilshere had not yet returned to defense.

Flamini gritted his teeth and could only rush towards Li Ang!

And at the moment when Flamini made a rushing move towards him, Li Ang shook his ankle and sent a straight pass to the Arsenal penalty area!

Hazard inserted from the sideline diagonally, looking for the area behind Flamini!

Before Koscielny rushed to destroy it, Hazard made a smart dunking fake move, and after shaking Koscielny, he directly shot a low shot with his left foot into the middle of the Arsenal goal!

The football rolled into the Arsenal goal before Szczesny went to the ground!

When Li Ang saw the ball successfully cross the line, he also showed his familiar smile on his face.

Factory, listen to my advice, if you want to be the new boss of the Premier League, you should practice your kidneys again!
