Chapter 341 Six-Time Champion Is Not the Ceiling of Football, We Want to Be Seven-Time Champion!

If we don't examine it strictly, Li Ang scored a goal by dribbling past five players.

His dribbling skills are not so gorgeous and agile from beginning to end, but more of a perfect combination of his body and technology.

There are agile dribbling and tough confrontation.

The style of dribbling that Li Ang showed this time is actually the same as the coaching style of his head coach Mourinho.

Focus on practicality rather than sticking to form.

It is a pleasure for more neutral fans to see the birth of such a wonderful goal in a strong dialogue.

However, Manchester City fans will not be happy at all.

Li Ang suddenly showed his evolutionary side again, and this reality made them emotional.

Since Li Ang transferred to Chelsea two seasons ago, they have never beaten Chelsea again.

This is naturally due to Mourinho's tactical formulation and Chelsea's tactical play that restrains Manchester City.

But what Manchester City fans feel more directly is the "cruel reality" that Li Ang will explode every time he plays against Manchester City.

Such topics are always talked about by the British media who like to make use of them.

Li Ang once clearly stated in an interview that it was because Manchester City was strong enough, and he liked to go all out when competing with strong opponents.

At that time, Li Ang strongly denied the personal grudges speculated by various British media.

But now Manchester City fans don’t want to keep their sanity anymore, because this looks like a personal grudge!

Otherwise, there is really no way to explain it!

There are so many European giants, not to mention the Premier League. In the past two seasons, Chelsea played in the Champions League, and Li Ang also exploded when he met Barcelona.

So the fact is very simple and clear. Li Ang killed the team that was related to the former universe Barcelona!

The reason is also quite sufficient. He was born in Real Madrid youth training!

Isn’t it normal to explode against Barcelona and Guardiola’s team now?

Manchester City fans have already directly made up in their minds the reasonable reason why Li Ang is excited when playing against Manchester City.

You know what, if this theory is posted on the Internet, there may be many neutral fans who will believe it.

But Li Ang has never thought about it.

As for playing against Barcelona, ​​the reason why he is so excited may be related to this theory, because he does have a feud with Barcelona fans on the Internet.

But for Manchester City, or Guardiola, he has no hostility at all.

It is purely because Manchester City has been Chelsea's first competitor in the Premier League in recent seasons.

So every time he plays against Manchester City, he will force himself to play to the limit of his ability.

Facts have also proved that his emphasis on Manchester City and Guardiola is right.

This Manchester City is still evolving. If you don't suppress them carefully every time you play against them, you will be the one who will be backfired in the end.

It is definitely right to go all out against such an opponent. Respecting them is also respecting yourself.

At this moment, Li Ang did not get proud of himself because he scored a wonderful goal.

After finishing the passionate celebration with his teammates, he tightened the captain's armband on his arm, and then applauded to signal his teammates to keep a cool head.

Suarez looked at Li Ang, who quickly suppressed his emotions and regained his rational expression on his face. In a trance, he thought he was still in Liverpool.

Li Ang in front of him seemed to have become Gerrard who was still encouraging the morale of his teammates...

"Luis?"

Li Ang looked at Suarez, who seemed to be staring at him and seemed a little dazed, and kindly reminded him.

"Ah... Sorry, I just suddenly thought of..."

"It's okay, you performed very well on the offensive end today! Come on, I will try to pass the ball to you more."

Li Ang's reply made Suarez stunned again.

Because when he joined Liverpool and did not perform very well in the first season, Gerrard often comforted him like this on the court...

He didn't dare to think about it any more. After suppressing the sentimentality in his heart, Suarez suddenly grinned at Li Ang.

"Okay, captain!"

Seeing this, Li Ang also smiled and nodded to Suarez.

He just thought Suarez was a little nervous at the moment, and he had no doubt about Suarez's strength.

After the game resumed, Li Ang signaled his teammates in the midfield to take their positions and consolidate the defense.

Several Chelsea players in the frontcourt also actively invested in the defense.

Chelsea no longer competed with Manchester City for midfield control, but turned to their favorite and most hated defense and counterattack link for Manchester City fans.

Guardiola was sitting in the coaching seat at this moment, and his mood was relatively stable. At least compared to the players on the Manchester City bench who were worried, he was still very calm.

After all, he was a top coach who witnessed Li Ang's growth all the way.

In the past two seasons, Li Ang has also accelerated the progress of developing offensive technology, and Guardiola has always paid attention to him.

So when he saw that Li Ang really had the dribbling ability to tear open the opponent's defense alone, Guardiola quickly calmed down after a brief surprise.

Li Ang has brought him too many "surprises". Even if the two teams meet again next time, and Mourinho uses Li Ang as a striker, Guardiola feels he can accept it.

The goal has already been lost, and it is useless to be upset.

It is better to seize the time to think about how to adjust the tactics in the remaining game time to limit Li Ang's further performance.

Moreover, he and his coaching team have also made tactical improvements to the team during the offseason.

Last season, they might be very worried about Chelsea taking the lead first, but now it is different.

At least compared to last season, Manchester City is not so afraid of Chelsea's counterattack.

Because after practicing the high-pressure tactics for a summer and spending a lot of effort to train the physical fitness of Manchester City's main players.

Guardiola believes that Manchester City has adapted to the game rhythm of continuous high-intensity all-out attack and defense and focusing on fast defense.

So there is no need to worry too much that the current Manchester City players will not be able to withstand the intensity of the game with Chelsea.

They will still increase their investment on the offensive end, and high-pressure is also a completely correct tactical idea.

Because in the past two seasons, Bayern and Chelsea have proved this with their Champions League titles.

After paying attention to the problem of defense, Guardiola believes that his team can grow to the same level as Chelsea as soon as possible!

This is not because he is conceited, but because he has built this new Manchester City with the right group of players and tactical ideas that keep up with the development of the times.

Chelsea has many talented young players, and so does his team!

Manchester City is likely to lose in today's Community Shield match.

But as long as they can show their strength to Chelsea in the game.

Guardiola will be very satisfied if he can make the new players in the team believe that they have the strength to compete with Chelsea!

With this idea, Guardiola is very Buddhist in his pursuit of today's results.

His calmness even surprised the commentator of Sky Sports.

Mourinho didn't see what his old friend was thinking today.

But his intuition told him that this would not be a good thing.

"Manchester City's tactical style has changed a lot. Their defensive position is much tighter than before, and now their double defensive midfielder's running coverage ability is also stronger.

If Li Ang hadn't scored a goal first, I feel that we would probably have to play in the second half to decide the outcome of this game today..."

Holland's voice came from the side, and Mourinho nodded subconsciously.

At this moment in the game, Chelsea's players also clearly felt the offensive pressure that Manchester City continued to exert on them!

Manchester City's players on the field are unswervingly implementing the tactical strategy arranged by Guardiola before the game.

They did not retreat because of losing the ball first, and there was no sudden confusion in the team's tactical thinking last season.

Li Ang also felt a little tricky, but he did not show his thinking about the game situation on his facial expression.

At least on the surface, he is still quite calm at the moment, which can bring more confidence to his teammates.

Compared with other Chelsea players on the field, Kroos has a better ability to read the game.

Of course, he could also see the situation of the game that Li Ang could see at the moment.

However, at the critical moment, Kroos, like his current teammates, was more willing to believe in the tactical judgment made by Li Ang!

Chelsea was still in a defensive rhythm of shrinking formation.

But when Li Ang made a tactical gesture to Kroos, Chelsea was destined to make certain tactical changes under Manchester City's stormy offensive at this moment.

Li Ang wanted to withstand the pressure and find an opportunity to counterattack. He didn't want Manchester City to suppress Chelsea's siege so smoothly.

Now Manchester City is almost unaffected by the loss of the ball and is still actively looking for offensive opportunities. It's too abnormal!

Li Ang felt it necessary to "cool them down".

Even if the counterattack can no longer bring Chelsea a goal to expand its lead, it can at least interrupt Manchester City's current hot offensive momentum!

Necessary tactical risks are worth taking.

And if the situation is not right, Mourinho off the court will make tactical adjustments in time.

Li Ang is not worried that his head coach will not be as long-term as himself in the tactical game.

Thinking of this, he was also bold. He changed his previous way of playing football with Matic to defend in the backcourt and began to press forward more actively to find opportunities to steal!

Mourinho soon saw the change in Li Ang's defensive style off the court. He raised his eyebrows, but did not say much.

Instead, he cheered up and observed the changes in the situation on the court more carefully.

The defensive pressure actively exerted by Li Ang was like a horn of tactical variation. The Chelsea players in the backcourt also cooperated with him to press more actively at this moment.

The fast-paced offense and defense made the players on the field of both teams consume a lot of physical energy at this moment.

However, the fans in front of the TV were full of their eyes.

This fast-paced scene of masters' duel is indeed what they like to see.

Manchester City did show more blood in the confrontation compared to last season.

However, Chelsea has been immersed in the field of crazy running pressure tactics for two years. At this moment, they can still steal the ball from the feet of Manchester City players without sparing their physical strength.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Sterling made a forced mistake on the wing and passed the ball back to Kroos who was looking for an interception opportunity.

Leon immediately started to move forward, and Kroos's through ball was just right.

The next moment, Leon, who touched the ball, did not continue to dribble forward, but directly sent a long pass over the top of more than 40 meters!

If Ibrahimovic had not left the team, he would have been able to get in position first and then pass the ball to the wing when facing the long pass from Leon.

But at this moment, Suarez has become the one at the forefront of Chelsea's formation.

Facing the pass from Leon, his first reaction was not to protect the ball and pass it to the wing, but to continue to carry the ball after unloading it!

This choice is not wrong, because Suarez does have the ability to carry the ball.

It's just that Chelsea's offensive players in the previous two seasons have been accustomed to some fixed offensive routines.

So at this moment, Hazard and De Bruyne also ran to the wing more, instead of moving closer to the middle to meet Suarez.

Suarez, who was caught up by Fernandinho, saw that his teammates on the wing were far away from him, and finally he could only stop dribbling and wait for his teammates to catch up.

This undoubtedly greatly delayed Chelsea's counterattack speed.

Fortunately, Li Ang's forward insertion was very timely at this moment, and Suarez also withstood Fernandinho's defensive interference. After careful observation, he passed the ball to Li Ang who continued to move forward with his heel!

Chelsea's counterattack vehicle, which had some minor problems, continued to roar at this moment!

Li Ang's advancement forced Gundogan to be forced to abandon his defense zone and press forward to make defensive interference.

And just when Gundogan took the initiative to intercept Li Ang, Li Ang's decisive and experienced pass appeared in the live broadcast again!

"Li Ang sent a long diagonal pass! Good ball! Kolarov failed to head this high ball, and De Bruyne's position was empty!"

The commentator of Sky Sports in England lengthened his commentary tone at this moment, and for a while, many fans in front of the TV were also nervous and expectant!

After getting the ball, De Bruyne continued to rush at high speed and calmly and quickly observed the situation inside and outside the Manchester City penalty area.

Suarez headed to the back of Manchester City's penalty area. Seeing this, De Bruyne also decisively sent his cross at this moment!

However, the direction of his cross was not the direction of Suarez's running position, but the front point of Manchester City's penalty area!

After Kompany was taken away by Suarez's running position, facing Otamendi's defense, Li Ang was full of confidence!

After fully pushing off the ground and jumping, Li Ang and Otamendi had a head-on battle in the penalty area!

In the end, he took the advantage of the header and headed the football first, but this time he did not head directly to the goal, but chose to head the ball!

The football was rubbed to the middle of the penalty area by him.

And Suarez, who seemed to be stared at by Kompany before, but never gave up running to find a second chance, also turned back like a ghost at this time!

He did not stop the ball, but directly chose to volley!

The football flew straight to the near corner of Manchester City's goal!

Bravo was still nervously watching Li Ang's header, so how could he rush over from the other end of the goal to save it? !

When he saw the football go into Manchester City's goal without any suspense, Li Ang was secretly relieved.

He looked up at Suarez who scored the goal confidently. The latter was pointing at him at this time, with a very bright smile on his face!

"Nice shot, Luis!"

"Hahaha! I knew you could notice my movement, it was your good pass!"

The two laughed and hugged near the baseline to celebrate!

After a while, other Chelsea players in the midfield and frontcourt also ran over and hugged and celebrated with them passionately!

Their eyes were burning, and they did not shy away from their desire for championship honors in their celebration words!

Six crowns?

That's not the ceiling of football honors.

Because this year Chelsea will stride towards the achievement of seven crowns!
