Chapter 288 Louis, Don't Let Your Loyalty Hurt You
There are many times when Barcelona fans just want to shut up Le Ang.
For example, after this Champions League group match, Le Ang joked that he wanted to meet Barcelona again. That was really a good guy.
Barcelona fans on the Internet spoke up and told Le Ang to "shut up!"
There is no way, Le Ang's power is really terrible.
He did this last season, and Chelsea really met Barcelona in the knockout round, and beat Barcelona in two rounds.
Barcelona fans really want to be tough with Le Ang.
But looking at the current situation of their team lagging behind Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League Group F, they dare not say anything harsh.
After all, it's better to be safe than sorry!
If Barcelona loses the chain again in the next two rounds of the Champions League group stage and fails to defeat Paris Saint-Germain head-on to regain the first place in the group.
Then they may be sent to Chelsea by UEFA as they fall to second place in the group.
The grudges between Chelsea and Barcelona in the Champions League, the grudges between Li Ang and Barcelona fans, the love-hate relationship between Li Ang and Messi...
If the two teams meet again, there will be too many things to watch. There is no reason for UEFA to leave such a large amount of traffic unused.
However, Li Ang does not have the intention of making a fuss as the fans guessed. He really wants to play all the strong teams in the Champions League in turn this season.
If you really want to win the Champions League, you can't always expect good luck in the draw and squeeze the soft persimmon until the final.
Play against strong teams early, play out your own state and morale, and then meet stronger teams later, so that your players will not feel nervous in preparation.
Without a heart that wants to defeat a strong opponent at any time, even if you are lucky and stumble into the final, the result will still not be as you wish.
If you draw lots according to Li Ang's idea, you will directly play Barcelona in the first round of the knockout stage, and arrest Dortmund or Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals.
In the semi-finals, he will play against the rising Juventus to test Pogba's strength and Juventus's steel defense.
Revenge in the final, and beat Bayern Munich again!
If he can finish this season's Champions League and win the championship, then Li Ang feels that his road to becoming a god is complete.
He doesn't want to play Real Madrid not because Real Madrid is not strong enough. This season's Real Madrid still has the strength to enter the Champions League final.
Li Ang simply doesn't want to face his former brothers and teammates and Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu as an enemy.
Of course, if he really meets them, Li Ang can only give his all to show respect.
Fortunately, Real Madrid also won all the first four rounds of the Champions League group stage. Like Chelsea, they have already locked in the qualification of the group leader in advance.
So at least in the first round of the knockout stage, Li Ang doesn't have to worry about facing Real Madrid in advance.
On the way back to London, he happily looked at the "friendly" greetings from Barcelona fans on his social account. From time to time, Li Ang picked a few replies to interact with them, which was also a relief.
But his despicable behavior of being the main player also confused Barcelona fans for a while.
Back then, Li Ang liked to swear at Barcelona fans on his social account, which many football fans knew.
But after all, Li Ang had just become famous at that time, and his fan base was far less large than it is today.
Nowadays, famous football stars rarely go out to greet hostile fans in person after becoming famous.
But Li Ang wants to be the one who stands out.
Three years ago, he named and confronted Barcelona fans in the comment section of his social account, and three years later, he still behaved casually.
The Barcelona fans who were named and did not expect Li Ang to go out in person at first were also excited after they recovered.
But it is obvious that in terms of the vocabulary of swearing, Li Ang, who came from the national server, directly sprayed these fans and defeated them step by step after he opened fire.
And to be honest, it was the other party who used polite greetings first before Li Ang launched a counterattack.
Li Ang would not do this in China.
Because there are too many people who like to have fun on the Internet in China, and there are also a lot of moral guardians.
They don't care about the cause of the incident. The criterion for judging whether an incident is right or wrong is basically "whoever is more famous is wrong".
But among the European fans who are more nervous, Li Ang's counterattack and spraying made them have a better impression of Li Ang!
However, a call from Mendes still forced Li Ang to stop his elegant and easy-going behavior.
There is no need to apologize, but it is definitely not possible to continue to confront Barcelona fans.
After returning to London, he rested for a night. The next morning, Li Ang drove to the Cobham training base with a nervous attitude.
After getting into the intense rhythm of competition and training life, the right and wrong of public opinion once again isolated Li Ang.
After playing the Champions League group stage, Chelsea only has three days of rest this time, and will face Liverpool, a tough opponent in the eleventh round of the Premier League.
In addition, Chelsea will rush to Anfield to fight Liverpool in this round of the league. For the entire Chelsea team, the pressure of the game is still not small.
Even though Liverpool seems to have returned to the past mode of robbing the rich and helping the poor this season, they can just beat Tottenham and then lose to Villa.
But as long as Liverpool plays at home, they always have the possibility to create miracles and defeat any European powerhouse!
After all, all the teams in the Premier League know that Liverpool at home and Liverpool at away games are often two completely different teams.
Mourinho does not want his team to become another big victim of Liverpool's nerve.
So after an intense and short preparation training, he led all Chelsea's main players to Anfield Stadium and directly came up with a safe 4231 starting lineup.
In the last game, we played Maribor away from home. Chelsea defeated their opponents very quickly, so even though it was a big win, the team's physical loss was not huge.
Therefore, in today's game, all the main veterans in the Chelsea team also started.
In terms of midfield combination, Cross suffered a slight ankle sprain during pre-match training, so he was out of action for this round.
De Bruyne replaced him as Li Ang's organizational partner.
Today's game is also De Bruyne's first time playing as a defensive midfielder for Chelsea.
Many reporters who came to the scene were very interested in De Bruyne's performance today.
At 13:45 on November 8, the morning match between Liverpool and Chelsea in the eleventh round of the Premier League officially started at Anfield Stadium.
Commentators from various countries also introduced today's starting lineups and players of the two teams before the game got heated.
The home team Liverpool has a starting lineup of 433 today.
The starting goalkeeper is Belgium's second national goalkeeper Mignolet.
In the defense, Moreno, Lovren, Skrtel and Glen Johnson lined up from left to right.
In the midfield, Emre Can and Jordan Henderson are on the left and right sides of the midfield, with Gerrard in the middle.
The front trident is Sterling, Suarez and Coutinho, who have been fixed together this season.
Sturridge's frequent injuries have prevented him from performing as consistently as he did last season.
Otherwise, it would naturally be more appropriate for Liverpool to continue playing 442.
After all, Suarez and Gasturic's forward combination has already contributed fifty direct goals, and the total number of goals produced is directly approaching the sixty-five mark.
If Sturridge can stay healthy, Liverpool's forward combination can be said to be the strongest in the Premier League currently.
pity…
Maybe God just wants to add more trouble to Liverpool's rise.
Suarez did not have any biting incidents in the World Cup or Premier League.
He stayed, stayed at Liverpool, but lost his most reliable partner in the new season.
With Sterling and Coutinho still growing up in the Premier League, Suarez feels like a nanny who has to take care of his children.
Now he has no shortage of personal data. In the first ten rounds of the Premier League, he has scored six goals and provided three assists.
But the performance of Sterling and Coutinho always surprises people one by one and scares them one by one.
In addition, the defense sometimes gets distracted and makes some inexplicable mistakes...
So it's not enough for him to have stable firepower output alone.
Liverpool's record of four wins, four losses and two draws in the first ten league rounds already shows that this team still has many problems.
The team's turbulent record also made Suarez once again waver in his decision to stay at Liverpool.
For example, at this moment, Suarez felt envious from the bottom of his heart when he saw Ibrahimovic in the Chelsea team returning to defend and fight with other Chelsea players!
Suarez feels that he can do most of what Ibrahimovic can do now, and he can do it better!
In terms of scoring and assisting abilities, he was stronger than Ibrahimovic in each category last season.
As for retreating to defend?
Then he can do it too!
Ibrahimovic can do this job at the age of 33. Of course he can do it better and more effectively at the age of 27!
But Suarez, who thinks he is no worse than Ibrahimovic now, had nothing in Liverpool last season.
And what about Ibrahimovic?
The Swedish Magic Tower has only moved to the Premier League for one season and has already won two trophies, the EFL Cup and the Premier League Championship!
It's unfair, but it's also fair.
Suarez does not hate Liverpool for not being able to provide him with more help, he only hates that there was a problem with his original choice...
"Liverpool's attack on both wings did not go very smoothly today. With the help of Chelsea's double midfielders in intercepting, Sterling and Coutinho did not have much space to take the ball and explode...
Suarez had to retreat early to help the attack advance...a beautiful pass! Suarez splits the ball! Emre Can!
Alas, how can you take off your feet at will in this position? ! James's shot was so...taken for granted! Cech's hand throw, Chelsea's counterattack! "
Zhan Jun watched Emre Can end Liverpool's hard-won push with a casual long shot in the studio, and he almost blurted out.
However, the changes in the situation on the field did not allow Zhan Jun to continue to feel sorry for the interruption of Liverpool's offense.
De Bruyne, who received the ball thrown by Cech, did not stick to the ball and directly sent a through ball to the center.
The football quickly passed by Gerrard's attempt to intercept the shot, and the accuracy was transmitted to the feet of Li Ang who was penetrating forward!
Emre Can had participated in the attack before he had time to return to defense. This characteristic of him is exactly the same as that of his predecessor Khedira in the German team.
Henderson had no choice but to sacrifice himself and tried to use a tactical foul to stop Li Ang's advancement.
But what made him feel sad was that he tried his best, but in the end he found himself getting farther and farther away from the accelerating Leon, and he couldn't even commit a tactical foul!
Without Agger, the Liverpool defense is now carried by two reckless central defenders.
When Lovren saw that Henderson couldn't catch up with Leon, he rushed to Leon as soon as possible.
And Skrtel still maintained a trace of rationality at this time and didn't rush forward rashly.
Ibrahimovic and Hazard moved forward one by one, further interfering with the defensive attention of Skrtel who was lagging behind.
But Leon didn't pass the ball to Ibrahimovic or Hazard who had stronger finishing ability at this moment.
He accelerated and forcibly withstood the defensive pressure of Lovren, broke through Liverpool's defense line, and passed the ball to the right in front of him!
Salah, who cut into the Liverpool penalty area, was like a blue sharp knife at this moment, directly stabbing into the red heart of Liverpool!
Moreno's speed was still inferior in comparison, and it was difficult to catch up after being passed by Salah.
In an area that is extremely suitable for kicking and shooting, Salah also showed his excellent ability to shoot with his foot that he has practiced in Chelsea in the past few months.
Just like Lukaku's hard practice of cutting inside and shooting last season, Salah has at least acquired the ability of "one new trick" after the coaching staff's special training and extra training in recent months.
Salah took the ball and connected quickly while running, without wasting any time, and then directly used his left foot to rub a beautiful and deadly arc!
The football spun in the air and hung directly in the upper right corner of Liverpool's goal!
Mignolet made a desperate save, but Salah's rubbed the arc and shot strength of this shot were perfect.
In the end, Mignolet only felt the football brushing his fingertips, and under his desperate look back, the football had already drilled into the goal he was guarding!
The cheering that boiled for nearly 20 minutes at Anfield was briefly stagnant at this moment.
But as Salah excitedly rushed towards Li Ang, Chelsea's goal celebration began.
Tens of thousands of Liverpool diehard fans at the scene also booed loudly!
Leon rubbed Salah's curly hair and laughed to encourage him.
The rest of Chelsea's frontcourt players also ran over, patting Salah's head and shoulders to congratulate him.
His shot was indeed beautiful, and with this goal, Chelsea will be able to deal with Liverpool's counterattack more easily.
After the passionate celebration, Leon applauded as usual to inspire the morale of his teammates.
Suarez, who was not far away from him, stood with his hands on his hips and watched all this, and suddenly a message from a fan on the Internet came to his mind:
"Luis, don't let your loyalty hurt you!"
