Chapter 312: Good Friday for Barcelona Fans, 7-Up Massacre Is Born!

After winning the first championship trophy of the season, Chelsea also completed a double kill against Tottenham.

Of course, Li Ang also fulfilled his promise to Chelsea fans. The sky at Wembley is indeed blue today!

However, after the game officially ended, Li Ang was still quite friendly. He comforted Lamela, who looked lonely, and then found his old friend Eriksson.

"You won again, Li Ang... I really don't want to play against you in such an important game. God, after meeting you in the Champions League that year, I haven't won you even once."

Eriksson got out of the loss earlier than other Tottenham players. Perhaps he had made sufficient psychological preparations before the game started.

So at this moment he was still able to joke and hug Li Ang and send congratulations to Li Ang.

"Well, maybe it's from a certain stage that my luck in the game has been better~

Keep it up, Christian! You will be famous in the Premier League. Since I heard that you transferred from Ajax to Tottenham, I have no doubt about it. Come on, brother!"

Li Ang patted Eriksson's shoulder vigorously, and then took off his jersey to exchange with him.

To be honest, if Mourinho hadn't set his sights on Kroos in the summer window last year and took action early, Li Ang really wanted to suggest that Mourinho dig Eriksson.

Eriksson and Kroos have different game characteristics, but there is no doubt that.

If it was Eriksson who transferred to Chelsea last summer, he would also be able to help Li Ang reduce the organizational burden and liberate Li Ang's offensive ability.

The defensive ability he lacks compared to Kroos will not be a defect with the help of Li Ang and Matic.

Li Ang actually wants to play with Eriksson, but this is just an idea.

Kroos is indeed more suitable for this Chelsea and for him.

There is no need to show some regrets and unrealistic thoughts in front of the parties involved.

Perhaps under the butterfly effect he caused, Eriksen will develop better than he remembered.

Perhaps Tottenham will achieve greater success in a few years than the young guards in his memory?

It's hard to say.

He believes that Eriksen will have an extremely bright future, but now, he has to take the lead in welcoming his own success.

The process of the award ceremony after winning the championship was already experienced by the entire Chelsea team last year.

But it was the first time for Kroos, Maguire and Salah to experience it.

Under the two completely different feelings of novelty and familiarity, the entire Chelsea team once again stood on the podium to receive the awards and enjoyed their wonderful moment of winning the championship!

After returning to the podium in the center of the stadium, Leon and Terry pulled Mourinho, who wanted to hide aside, and finally the three of them stood in the center of the team and held up the trophy high, celebrating again.

And the reporters on the scene also captured this moment in their cameras.

The news that Chelsea won the first championship trophy of the season was quickly released and flew to the world.

Li Ang's gesture of achieving 1/4 of the goal of winning the championship naturally became the focus of heated discussion among fans again.

Under the proud explanation of many Chelsea fans, more neutral fans understood the meaning of Li Ang's gesture.

Wanting to create a record and win the English domestic triple crown in one go, and then compete for the Champions League, this ambition and goal is too big!

Once this goal is achieved, Chelsea will become the most arrogant club in England's history to harvest honors in a single season, no one else!

And with this Champions League, Chelsea has naturally established its own reputation as a giant.

Many neutral fans admire Li Ang's ambition and pursuit.

Of course, there are also doubts and sarcastic voices.

However, when Chelsea played strongly and won the League Cup, the overall public opinion was speaking for Chelsea and Li Ang.

At least in the British media. Now there is basically a unified voice to build momentum for Chelsea.

If you have achievements, you can be tough. The official FA did not come out to stand on the stage, but after all, they said hello.

As for the British media, no one in Europe is better at changing course than the British media.

At the celebration banquet of Chelsea Club that night, Abramovich specially invited commentators from China and some well-known journalists to attend the dinner.

Zhan Jun and others also personally experienced Abramovich's "love" for Li Ang.

Unfortunately, even if they successfully won the first championship trophy of the season, the entire Chelsea team still had to resume training the afternoon after winning the championship.

The celebration will have to wait until the end of the season. After Chelsea finished the League Cup final, they will have to enter the sprint stage of the second half of the season.

Starting from March 4, they will have to enter another devilish schedule.

The English FA Cup will seamlessly connect with the League Cup, and continue to squeeze the physical strength of Chelsea players in the Premier League and the Champions League.

But the good news is that Chelsea drew Reading, a team from the English Championship, in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

So compared to Villa, West Bromwich Albion, Manchester United and Arsenal, who have to play in the Premier League civil war.

Chelsea can use a substitute lineup in this round of the FA Cup.

Chelsea's main players can focus on preparing for the 28th round of the Premier League and the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Chelsea was originally going to challenge Leicester City away in the 27th round of the Premier League, but because the League Cup final and this round of the league overlapped, Chelsea had a bye in the Premier League.

Fortunately, Manchester City failed to continue its winning streak after winning the 26th round of the Premier League, and lost 1-3 to Liverpool, who performed explosively in the 27th round of the Premier League.

So now Chelsea is still 11 points ahead of Manchester City even if it has one less round.

This leading advantage can be said to be quite safe.

All the pressure has come to Manchester City. As for Arsenal, which is currently ranked third in the Premier League, they are still 6 points behind Manchester City, which is even less of a concern.

On the evening of March 3, Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion directly ignited the war in the 28th round of the Premier League.

The confrontation between these two teams is basically a warm-up for the FA Cup quarter-finals.

At the same time that night, a total of 6 Premier League teams played and completed the game.

At the same time the next night, the remaining 14 Premier League teams all played.

In the absence of strong competition, Chelsea's away challenge to West Ham United has once again become the focus of Premier League fans.

Earlier, when the Premier League was about to end, the Hammers West Ham United was regarded by many Premier League fans as the key team that could break Chelsea's unbeaten record.

After all, their record was very good at that time, and they squeezed into the Champions League zone, and their record against the other top six Premier League teams was not bad at all.

As a result, after the key battle with Chelsea, West Ham United was knocked out of the pride accumulated in the first half of the league.

After the momentum was lost, West Ham United also suffered defeats all the way, and now has fallen to the tenth place in the league.

Such a cruel reality is a serious blow to West Ham United's players and head coach.

The two teams met again, even at West Ham United's home stadium, London Olympic Stadium.

Chelsea's players can also feel the low morale of the entire West Ham United team.

However, the fans of the Hammers are still very powerful.

That night, they and more than 10,000 Chelsea away fans filled the London Olympic Stadium.

In this large football stadium that can accommodate 60,000 people, Li Ang felt the hot atmosphere of the game.

However, he felt very sorry for the game process, because the resistance of the West Ham United team did not meet his expectations at all.

Before the first half even lasted 20 minutes, Ibrahimovic easily scored a goal after receiving a through pass from Kroos.

And just 8 minutes later, Hazard performed a wonderful performance of riding alone for thousands of miles and penetrated the goal guarded by Adrian for the second time!

Li Ang's low shot from the left side of the West Ham United penalty area in the 44th minute of the first half completely eliminated the suspense of the game.

At the beginning of the second half, Mourinho directly replaced Ibrahimovic and Hazard.

Li Ang played for 15 minutes and was replaced by Lampard in the 60th minute of the second half.

In the end, Chelsea defeated West Ham United 4-0 at the London Olympic Stadium.

While continuing to put pressure on Manchester City, it also made a very solid effort for the Hammers to dive into the lower half of the league!

As soon as the game ended, the main players of the Chelsea team finally had a short vacation.

Including Li Ang, the main players of the first team were basically able to rest for two days.

On the afternoon of March 7, Mourinho led the team to Berkshire, and the FA Cup quarter-finals between Chelsea and Reading also started.

This season, Reading is basically at the level of relegation in the Championship.

Facing Chelsea, who played purely as substitutes, Reading also chose a conservative bus tactic.

The main reason is that they can't do without the bus. The level of their back line this season can actually be ranked in the middle of the Championship, mainly because of the constipation of offense.

So far, Reading has only scored 32 goals in 36 rounds of the Championship.

This level is hard to bite the defense of the middle and lower teams in the Championship, let alone against Chelsea.

But even if they lowered their posture and played a counterattack, Reading was still knocked on the door by Chelsea at home early.

There was no way, who let Mourinho directly send Drogba and Lukaku, the big and small monsters, to this game?

A simple 442 starting formation, to put it bluntly, is to rush to Reading's two flanks and play the cross tactics.

And the facts have also proved that Salah, who has eaten enough ball rights, is now playing against the opponents of the English Championship.

He almost broke Reading's right defense alone!

And Drogba and Lukaku, who had no shortage of opportunities to grab points, were completely full of cakes today.

In the end, Drogba scored a goal with a pass and Lukaku scored twice directly.

Chelsea, who established a leading advantage early in the first half, won 5-1 over Reading!

Salah did not score a goal, but he performed an assist hat trick and was successfully elected the best player of the game.

After reaching the final four of this season's FA Cup, Chelsea can sit back and wait for the draw for the semi-finals.

Chelsea fans are also looking forward to the upcoming Champions League.

Chelsea's 4-0 victory over Barcelona in the first leg made the second leg of the two teams less suspenseful.

Let's not talk about this big win, just looking at the four away goals is enough to make Barcelona fans despair!

On the afternoon of March 10, the Barcelona players who arrived in London a day in advance all had solemn expressions at the airport.

No reporter or fan would care about Enrique's tactical deployment in the second round.

Because you can tell with your ass that Barcelona has only one way to go, which is to attack with all your strength.

Enrique is playing tricks on tactics, and he must try to seize the rhythm from the beginning of the game at Stamford Bridge.

In contrast, neutral fans want to know more.

Will Chelsea choose to let Barcelona go and end the game safely, or beat the old rival of the Champions League without mercy?

All the fans' speculations got the answer on the evening of March 11.

Chelsea, sitting at home, put up a 433 offensive starting formation!

Although not all the main players came out, the main players on the central axis all started!

Leon and Kroos were also in the starting lineup. It seems that Mourinho does not intend to give up the control of the midfield so easily.

Chelsea's arrangement made the Barcelona team both surprised and angry!

The surprise is that they don't have to worry about Chelsea's bus, and they have more offensive opportunities.

The anger is of course because they can't see any reversal worries from Chelsea, or from Mourinho's deployment.

With this contradictory mentality, Barcelona's players went straight into the full-out attack mode from the beginning of the game.

And the Chelsea team, which is full of energy, also chose to fight back, and took out the bottom-of-the-box full-court crazy running pressure tactics!

Barcelona wanted to speed up from the beginning of the game, play fast and fast, and create more offensive rounds.

Chelsea did as they wished, but they sped up the game to a point that Barcelona players were completely unexpected!

In this fast-paced fight, confrontation and attack, Barcelona's players soon found that they did not get the rhythm advantage they expected before the game.

Because Chelsea made the game from complex to simple and clear.

Systematic pressing and oppression, seemingly constant siege number advantage in local areas, more physical confrontation, more endurance competition and more speed sprints!

These are all the game contents that Chelsea is good at now.

But for Barcelona's aging midfielders and backfielders, this game mode is simply their death warrant!

It may be okay to hold on for ten or twenty minutes, but when the rhythm of the game lasts for nearly half an hour, Barcelona's midfield and backfield defense will be out of touch and collapse!

It's like two teams from different eras competing on the same field.

Chelsea did not use any sophisticated tactics to play against Barcelona, ​​but used completely different tactical concepts and game styles to force the aging Barcelona to collapse!

Messi, who couldn't get too much ball possession, seemed very powerless in such a duel.

He needed a period of time to organize calmly.

But now his teammates behind him can't provide him with such tactical support.

He even needs him, who is not physically fit, to return to his own half, or even to the defensive third zone to relieve their game pressure!

This is the game scene that Mourinho and Li Ang want to see.

But at this moment, the two looked at Messi, who had nowhere to exert his strength, and felt sorry for him in their hearts.

Because of the importance, Messi's personal performance must be limited, and because of the importance, Messi's current situation is regrettable.

But this cruel scene is also part of football.

When Barcelona was in its heyday, Messi could break the imagination of countless fans on this platform and obtain luxurious and unparalleled personal data as easily as taking something out of a bag.

But when Barcelona's glory is gone and the lineup is aging, Messi must also bear the responsibility of dragging the entire team forward.

This is the case with Messi, Ronaldo, and Li Ang in the future.

Unless you are determined to transfer, you can seize the opportunity at the end of your personal peak and go to a new team that can play.

If you can do this, you can certainly get rid of the seemingly fixed fate of your career.

But for Messi, Barcelona is always special, and it is not easy for him to make such a decision.

At least at this moment, facing Chelsea's fast and powerful impact like a storm, Messi did not give up or get discouraged. He still wanted to lead Barcelona to resist tenaciously.

But Mourinho, Li Ang, and even the entire Chelsea team did not want to give Barcelona half a hope.

Barcelona wanted to counterattack despite Chelsea's sharp attack, so their weak midfield and backcourt defense inevitably went to destruction first.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Iniesta, who had finally got the ball, just passed the ball to Messi who retreated to respond.

But before the Argentine superstar had time to turn around, he was directly blocked by Hazard and Li Ang who came to the side!

The narrow side space could not allow Messi to fully display his superior skills.

Li Ang kicked decisively and took the ball from Messi's feet.

While the Barcelona team was still advancing, Li Ang had already sent a long counterattack pass before he had time to return to defense!

Ibrahimovic was at the top of the arc of Barcelona's penalty area, and he carried Pique to complete the header ferry!

And Hazard, who ran forward like a ghost, completed the connection between stopping the ball and shooting in Barcelona's penalty area in the next moment!

It seemed that the team had learned from the defensive lessons of the previous game. In this game, Mascherano was not in the starting lineup, but Mathieu was. Enrique paid the price at this time!

Mathieu, who was not flexible enough in defense, could not keep Hazard under control at all, and Ter Stegen had no way to deal with this close-range push!

After the ball successfully crossed the line, Chelsea directly sentenced Barcelona to death!

And the total score of 5-0 in the two rounds also announced to the world in a bloody way:

What a ruthless slaughter!

The Barcelona team, which was forced to fall off the cliff, launched a desperate attack in the struggle.

Their tactical thinking was already in a mess, there was no rules, and there was no trust and confidence between the players.

Enrique stubbornly continued to signal the Barcelona players on the field to increase their offensive efforts.

But in return, in the 36th minute of the first half, Li Ang joined the attack from behind and scored again after receiving De Bruyne's cross!

The entire Barcelona team was stunned, and even after the halftime break, they still could not restore their morale.

And Drogba, who replaced Ibrahimovic in the second half, also completed his dream of scoring against Barcelona in a corner kick opportunity in the 82nd minute of the game!

Exploded!

Public opinion was in an uproar!

Countless neutral fans couldn't believe their eyes at this moment.

And countless Barcelona fans also remembered this painful day for them!

On March 11, 2015, Chelsea successfully fed Barcelona "7-Up" at home!

The Champions League massacre that shocked the football world was born!
