Starting From Playing as a Defensive Midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 317 One Person's Effort? No, This Is a Team Victory!

The large stands of Juventus Arena were silent at this moment, only the stands where thousands of Chelsea away fans gathered were celebrating wildly.

Pogba was pulled up from the grass by Evra.

Watching the superstar he admired and liked score a goal from a close distance, Pogba felt uncomfortable.

Because this time he became the background board for Li Ang's goal, and he did not leave any impression on Li Ang in this head-on competition with Li Ang.

At least he thought so.

He does have the capital to be proud of himself. Whether it is technology or physical fitness, he has the talent that other midfielders dream of in both aspects.

But now he has been hit hard by Li Ang.

This feeling of being unable to compare no matter how you compare makes Pogba very frustrated.

Pirlo saw the frustrated expression on Pogba's face and sighed slightly.

When Li Ang first came to Milan, the talent he showed was completely incomparable to Pogba now.

But at that time, Li Ang was not frustrated by this. Instead, he was full of energy and learned from all the seniors in the team every day.

In the Serie A arena, the label that Li Ang carried at that time was just a promising defensive player.

He was not able to handle any offensive opponent alone.

But when he failed, Li Ang never had such a frustrated expression on his face.

He either went up to fight with his opponent again, or simply asked for help from his teammates.

In terms of mentality and psychological stress resistance, Li Ang has always been the strongest among the young players Pirlo has seen.

Originally, he thought that Pogba might catch up with Li Ang's achievements and abilities in the future.

After all, God has given Pogba all-round talents in both technology and physical fitness.

Pogba's current training can be regarded as hard work. As long as he keeps his enterprising spirit, his future is also limitless.

But now Pirlo has completely cut off such an idea.

The gap in mentality between the two seems too big now.

Without Leon's strong psychological ability, Pogba will never be able to become a true offensive and defensive core in a team.

Pirlo felt deeply regretful about this.

Of course, this regret did not last long.

Pogba is a Frenchman after all, and he will not play for Italy.

Besides, if we really talk about the effort put into teaching, Pirlo feels that he should be more attentive to Leon's teaching.

Pirlo is completely satisfied to be able to teach Leon.

Pogba is also okay. Even if he can't be a core player, he will still be qualified to be a puzzle piece in a wealthy club in the future.

Pirlo thinks he should not be too greedy. Looking at Leon now, he is already proud enough.

Even if Leon broke through the goal of his team at this moment...

After retracting his eyes comparing Leon and Pogba, Pirlo's face regained a calm expression.

He smoothed his long hair, and then reminded his teammates that the game was not over yet, and they still needed to cheer up and continue to compete with Chelsea!

Li Ang had already recovered his breath by now.

After raising his arms and yelling at the stands where Chelsea fans were, he trotted back to the half court amid the continuous smiles and claps from his teammates.

Mourinho waited on the sidelines and stretched out his palm. Li Ang smiled and high-fived his boss to celebrate.

Terry waited at the end and gave Li Ang a big hug, patted Li Ang's head, and kept saying something in his ear.

Commentators from various countries were all impressed by the unity of the Chelsea team when they saw this scene.

This is exactly what Chelsea fans are most proud of now.

The game started again soon, and the whole Chelsea team seemed to be more aggressive in defending the half court, and resolutely played Juventus's defense.

This kind of game scene made Juventus fans feel very headache.

Allegri sat in the coaching seat, looking calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil.

He now understands Guardiola's mood every time he faces Chelsea.

They are not very worried about Mourinho's tactical design and tactical backhand.

Because they have corresponding tactical backup, even if the countermeasures don't play a particularly big role, at least there is such a plan.

A poor on-the-spot adjustment will not make their team completely passive.

But it is the presence of Li Ang that always makes the situation on the field suddenly unbalanced at a certain time period, and completely falls into Chelsea's rhythm.

Li Ang seems to have some kind of magic to restrain strong teams.

When Chelsea usually plays against weak teams, Li Ang's performance is good, but it is the kind of good that fans expect.

Only when playing against strong teams, since the time when he was in Real Madrid, Li Ang's attribute of being a nemesis of strong teams is very amazing!

And the stronger the opponent, the more violent his performance is, and there is no scientific logic at all!

Playing against Barcelona, ​​he can solve the battle with two headers like a god descending to earth, and playing against Manchester City, he will give you two world waves in a row!

Today against Juventus, Li Ang used incredible single-player steals and counterattacks to directly break the balance of the game...

Uncle囧 is a little numb.

He still couldn't figure it out. How did his team's excellent counterattack threat turn into a chance for Chelsea to break the deadlock? !

Shouldn't such a metaphysical scene appear in his team?

It's hard to hold!

It's really hard to hold!

"Should we increase our attack?"

The assistant's voice came again. Allegri rubbed his temples, but still chose to postpone the adjustment.

The reason for not adjusting before was that there was no problem with the situation and the rhythm of the game.

Now there is no adjustment because the balance of the game has been broken. Allegri believes that the team needs to first strengthen its tactical thinking and stabilize the situation.

Well, this is how my uncle thinks. No matter whether outsiders think it is reasonable or not, he thinks the tactics are reasonable, that's it!

So soon, the Juventus players on the court received tactical instructions to continue to defend the backcourt and not give Chelsea a second chance to score.

Vidal and Pogba were a little anxious, but Pirlo had long been accustomed to Allegri's tactical thinking.

Several veterans in the team pressed, and Pogba and others could only hold back their emotions even if they didn't like this conservative style of play.

When Mourinho saw that Allegri had no major tactical adjustments, he also directly signaled Li Ang and Kroos to try to control the ball on the field.

Playing away in the Champions League, 1-0 is a very comfortable score.

Anyway, Mourinho can fully accept it. If Allegri is willing to cooperate, the game will end with this score, and he has no objection at all.

Many Juventus fans are still waiting to see their team launch a large-scale counterattack.

As a result, almost three minutes after the game resumed, they still saw the "peaceful" situation of the two teams' players staring at each other on the field, and if you don't attack, I will control the ball.

Milan fans are very familiar with this scene, but many neutral fans don't know it.

For a while, on major sports live broadcasts and sports forums, old Milan fans explained Allegri's unique tactical thinking to the neutral fans who didn't understand.

You don't need to win a lot to win, 1-0 is enough, and there is no need to rush to fall behind, just play XJB first, and then use the center forward to explode at the last moment.

Playing two rounds of games, the fans have to be more patient.

Because losing in the first round is not a big deal for Allegri's team.

As long as the loss is not big enough, such as a small loss of 0-1 in the first round, Allegri can wait until the second round to formulate offensive tactics to rush back.

Don't ask, the answer is to be safe.

Even if you lose the ball, you must first consolidate the defense line, otherwise it will be unstable!

After the game entered the easing stage, Chelsea and Juventus really seemed to have forgotten that they could still attack.

In this way, they kept the score of 1-0 and entered the halftime break.

For neutral fans, such a game rhythm is completely torture.

They came to watch this Champions League focus battle today to see the offense, to see the overlords of the Premier League and Serie A stab each other!

If it was to watch the defense competition, why did they have to wait until today to watch this game?

Wouldn't it be better to watch more Serie A games in normal times!

Maybe the second half of the game can still give neutral fans a lot of expectations.

So at the end of the halftime break and the beginning of the second half, the ratings of this Champions League battle had not fallen sharply.

But after playing for almost 10 minutes in the second half, seeing that the two teams were still standing still, it seemed that they had accepted the score of 1-0.

Many neutral fans said they were fooled and turned to watch the game between Atletico Madrid and Arsenal next door.

Although Atletico Madrid also played a defensive tactic to break the rhythm of the game, at least Arsenal was still attacking!

And Atletico Madrid's counterattack was also very sharp. In general, the game with Arsenal was back and forth, which was better than the "tacit understanding" here.

Neither Allegri nor Mourinho is the kind of coach who values ​​the ratings and external evaluation of the game.

Anyway, if Juventus does not take the initiative to attack today, Chelsea will never press out to give Juventus a chance to equalize the score!

It just highlights conservatism and stability.

However, Juventus, or Allegri, was not able to maintain stability after all.

After the 60th minute of the second half, Juventus's offensive attempt came.

Although Llorente was still sitting on the bench at this moment, Li Ang looked at Juventus who were slowly pressing forward to make offensive attempts, and still signaled to his captain at the first time:

"Be careful of Juventus's header!"

Terry nodded cautiously to Li Ang, indicating that he understood.

Morata is exactly the same as Lukaku to some extent.

Their center forward skills are not comprehensive enough, but they all have their own outstanding advantages.

Lukaku is very good at one-on-one blasting after pulling to the side, while Morata is very good at headers in the penalty area.

So when Li Ang plays with them, one will give more advance balls to the sidelines, and the other will give more high-altitude balls.

Whenever they switch to feed the ball, Lukaku and Morata will instantly change from tomorrow's stars on the court to crouching dragons and phoenixes.

This is absolutely not a joke.

Although Lukaku does look like a tough player who is good at receiving high balls, Morata also looks like a technical player who is good at ground shots...

Juventus introduced Morata, so they will naturally formulate offensive tactics for him based on his characteristics.

As expected, after pressing forward to make offensive tests, Juventus quickly launched frequent lob passes.

Morata's running position is very good, his sprint speed is fast, and his grasp of the landing point of the high ball is also very accurate.

Juventus's high-altitude ball at this moment is not expected that Morata can directly equalize the score under Terry's defensive pressure.

Instead, it hopes to use enough high-altitude ball opportunities for Morata to compete for as many points as possible.

Whether Morata directly attacks the goal or uses a header to ferry, so that Tevez, who is ambushing behind him, can get a chance to shoot, it can be regarded as a success of Juventus' offensive tactics.

Unfortunately, with Li Ang, the elder brother who is most familiar with Morata, Chelsea's defenders have made sufficient psychological preparations early.

Morata's running position is good, but when he needs to force a point in the end, Terry becomes a defensive mountain in front of him that he can hardly cross!

In terms of physique, Morata is actually not bad now.

But in front of the former world's number one heavy defender, his confrontation strength is still not enough.

After being suppressed by Terry for three consecutive times and unable to grab a point, Morata's own confidence is a little insufficient.

Seeing this, Allegri decisively adjusted the offensive tactics. Juventus changed from high-altitude bombing to ground penetration.

However, this was exactly what Chelsea's defensive players wanted.

Compared with ground penetration, which team in football can play better than Manchester City?

Chelsea's ability to deal with this kind of technical attack has long been honed in the constant competition with Manchester City.

At this moment, Juventus chose this offensive mode, which is equivalent to reducing the defensive pressure of the entire Chelsea team.

The game time soon reached the 70th minute of the second half, and Juventus still had no achievements on the offensive end.

Mourinho also began to let the defensive players on the bench go to the sidelines to warm up one after another.

Li Ang took a look and decisively retreated to the defensive midfielder position.

Five minutes later, Maguire, who was standing on the sidelines, and Llorente, the center forward of Juventus, were replaced at almost the same time.

Allegri couldn't help but spray Mourinho in his heart.

To be honest, the two have a good relationship. If there was no live broadcast of the game, Uncle囧 would definitely rush to Mourinho and grab his collar to ask questions.

"Did you do it on purpose? Ah, you bastard! You must have done it on purpose!"

The fans who saw Maguire and Llorente being substituted at almost the same time in front of the TV were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

Even Juventus fans couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Mourinho's substitution was really too psychological.

As soon as Maguire came on the court, he directly offset Llorente's advantage in grabbing points in the air.

In the 80th minute of the second half, Mourinho replaced Hazard with Kalas, and the game came to a real end.

In the end, with Chelsea's full defense firmly retreating, Juventus could only swallow the bitter fruit of a 0-1 defeat in this game.

Li Ang's wonderful steal and counterattack goal became the key point of the turning point of the game.

After the game, before he had time to exchange greetings with his old teammates Morata and Pirlo, he was surrounded by Italian reporters.

After being praised by the Italian Sky Sports reporter for changing the direction of the game single-handedly, Li Ang interrupted him directly in Italian and replied sincerely:

"There is no such thing as one-man show on the football field. This is a team victory, a victory for our entire Chelsea team!"
