Chapter 342 Lukaku Goes to Manchester United, Gnabry Comes to Chelsea, They Both Have Bright Futures

"For Chelsea, this is a very timely goal! Manchester City's offensive was very fierce, and Guardiola's team also brought us enough surprises before the official start of the new season..."

Zhan Jun also breathed a sigh of relief in the PPTV studio.

Manchester City's fierce offensive did make him worry about Chelsea's defense for a while.

In the situation just now, if Manchester City really withstood Chelsea's counterattack pressure in the first half of the game and scored an equalizer, the situation of the game would really have to be reversed.

Fortunately, Chelsea did not passively defend this time, but chose to continue to take risks and counterattack.

Leading by two goals in the first half, this Community Shield game is a sure win for Chelsea!

When thinking that Li Ang is about to harvest his fifth club championship trophy this year, Zhan Jun is also happy and excited from the bottom of his heart!

After all, Li Ang still has the supreme honor of winning seven championships in a single year!

Although Li Ang had won six championships with Real Madrid, Barcelona was the first to win the six championships, and Bayern also won the six championships last year.

So although this achievement is rare, it is not unique.

Now Li Ang is likely to lead the team to win seven championships. Once this achievement is achieved, Li Ang and his teammates will be able to create a new record in football!

What Melo and Ronaldo could not do in their respective peak periods, Li Ang has now done it!

Let’s not talk about whether they have had the opportunity to achieve the seven championships, anyway, the reality is already like this.

When Li Ang wins the Golden Ball Award again at the beginning of next year, his historical status will naturally continue to rise!

Li Ang himself may not value this, but fans and media people in China do!

It’s okay if there was no chance before.

Now that Li Ang has the ability to reach the top and become the first person in football in a certain season, the majority of fans and industry insiders in China naturally have more expectations for him.

People's hearts are like this. Li Ang now has a huge amount of traffic and market cake in China, so it is reasonable for him to bear the growing expectations of domestic fans.

However, Li Ang has not yet considered such a long-term position in football after retirement.

He just wants to get the next few cup championships this year steadily.

In comparison, this Community Shield game should be the most difficult to win, after all, the opponent is Manchester City, which has reached the top of the European continent.

Whether it is the opponent in the European Super Cup or the Club World Cup, it cannot be compared with Manchester City in terms of hard power.

Manchester City wants to increase the confidence of its players through this Community Shield game and start a new season with the hope of winning the championship.

Isn't Chelsea trying to use defeating Manchester City to lay a solid foundation for the realization of the dream of seven crowns?

At this moment, with a two-goal lead, the entire Chelsea team, whether on or off the field, are full of confidence and high morale!

After seeing Suarez score his second goal, Mourinho also made decisive tactical adjustments, allowing Li Ang to defend with peace of mind.

Facing Chelsea's full contraction again, Manchester City, which had been unable to attack for a long time, also needed to make adjustments.

The two teams did not score more goals in the first half, and Chelsea entered the halftime break with a two-goal advantage.

It was also at this time that Mourinho directly called Lukaku from the bench into the locker room.

Although the little monster has basically reached an agreement with Manchester United, he may leave the team at any time in the next few days.

But before he officially transferred and left the team, Chelsea's coaching staff and the first-team players also treated him as their own as usual.

At this moment, Mourinho asked him to enter the locker room to listen to the tactical arrangement, basically to give him enough playing time in the second half of the game, so that he could have a decent farewell stage.

Mourinho did not spend too much time explaining the tactical adjustment.

There is actually only one key point, that is, Chelsea's main counterattack in the second half should strengthen the ability of the two wings to get the ball and work alone.

Overly complicated passing and penetration attack methods can be directly abandoned, and Chelsea's counterattack will be more direct and simple.

So if nothing unexpected happens, De Bruyne will be replaced by Lukaku in the second half of the game.

At that time, the focus of Chelsea's counterattack on the field will be Hazard and Lukaku.

After the tactical adjustment, Mourinho gave the players more time to rest.

Lukaku sat in his own locker room, watching his familiar teammates talking and laughing, and for a moment he was a little disappointed.

It's not that he is hypocritical. If he can get a starting position in the current Chelsea, whether he plays as a center forward or a winger, he will be very happy to sign a long-term contract with the club.

Unfortunately, the coaching staff finally gave him a negative answer.

If he had just turned 18 or 19 years old, he would have no problem letting him play as a substitute.

But he is already 22 years old!

He played as a substitute for two years in Chelsea and learned new things for two years.

To be honest, he was grateful for Mourinho and other coaches' teachings, but he didn't have any more precious time to waste on the bench.

So parting ways became the inevitable ending for him and Chelsea.

It's not that he doesn't like Chelsea, nor is it that he is not suitable for Chelsea now.

The only thing to blame is that he currently doesn't have the strength to squeeze out the starting position of his teammates. It's really helpless!

Li Ang naturally also noticed something wrong with Lukaku's mood.

But he had persuaded and comforted him before. Now that Lukaku has made a decision, he can only continue to take big steps.

After sighing in his heart, Li Ang stood up, walked to Lukaku and patted his shiny forehead.

"Can you score a goal today? Romelu, don't waste the passes I send you, you kid..."

Hearing Li Ang's teasing, Lukaku pursed his lips and raised his head.

"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely seize the opportunity today!"

"Okay, I believe you."

Li Ang sat next to Lukaku and chatted with him for a few more words. Seeing that the time was almost up, he stood up and signaled his teammates to get ready to play with him again.

The game restarted quickly in the second half. Chelsea was still fully prepared defensively, waiting for Manchester City to press hard in the half.

On the sidelines of the court, Mourinho asked Salah, Lukaku and even young player Gnabry to warm up early, putting a big smoke bomb for Guardiola to make substitutions.

The anxious situation on the field began to change in the 56th minute of the second half.

For Chelsea, Mourinho replaced De Bruyne with Lukaku to strengthen his ability to counterattack alone.

Guardiola was not to be outdone, and then replaced Sterling, who had a mediocre performance in the first half, with Sane, continuing to remain active with the ball on the left wing.

After both teams completed substitutions, it was Manchester City who took the lead in breaking the balance of the game in the second half.

The young player Sane, who will only turn 20 in a few months, took the ball on the right and tried to cut in in the 64th minute of the second half after changing positions with Silva.

Bertrand, who was guarding Sane, didn't know if he underestimated the German youngster's strength too much, so he positioned himself slightly further back.

As a result, Sane caught the opportunity to kick and shot decisively from the right edge of Chelsea's penalty area!

The ball finally bypassed Cech's fingers and dived into the far corner of Chelsea's goal!

Sane, who scored an important goal in his first appearance for Manchester City, looked very excited!

He took off his jersey right near the baseline to celebrate excitedly!

The Manchester City fans in Wembley Stadium also let out loud cheers at this moment!

Guardiola's substitution adjustments have achieved miraculous results, and this sudden turn also made Mourinho unable to sit still.

But when he saw Li Ang roaring loudly on the court and constantly telling his teammates to keep a calm mind, his heart suddenly relaxed a little.

"This is just an accident, Ryan. I believe you can handle that young man. If he switches positions with Silva next time, I hope you can use more oppressive defense to block him from the threatening area." !

Tell me, Ryan, can you do it? ! "

After Li Ang calmed down his teammates, he approached Bertrand, put his arm around his shoulders, and asked him as if joking.

Bertrand did not dare to joke with Li Ang at this moment, and nodded repeatedly with a serious face!

"I swear I will! Don't let him get any more chances!"

Seeing that Bertrand's mind had indeed come to his senses, Li Ang said nothing more, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

That's all the good things to say anyway. If this guy continues to be stupid on the court, he will have to eat Uncle Psy's hair dryer after today's game!

After doing everything he should do, Li Ang made a tactical adjustment gesture to Matic and Kroos, and then looked at the Manchester City half with a serious face.

Manchester City's players did not spend much time celebrating. They still wanted to pursue the victory and continue to seek scoring opportunities.

However, after the game restarted, they, with high morale, caught up with Chelsea's tougher and rougher defense!

Led by Li Ang and Matic, Chelsea once again launched a defensive stranglehold on Manchester City's ball carrier in the top area of ​​the center circle!

Matic's confrontation with Silva who knocked over the ball can be said to be careless and accidental.

But a minute later, Li Ang burst out from the wing and directly tackled Aguero, who had retreated to receive the ball, onto the turf with the ball. Manchester City's frontcourt players immediately became furious!

The referee on duty didn't want to say anything, because he was very close and saw clearly Li Ang's action of first tackling and then bringing someone to the ball.

At first glance, Li Ang's defensive tackle is very fierce, but in fact he did not hurt Aguero.

But Aguero's constant flipping movements after falling to the ground and the Manchester City players who surrounded Li Ang almost instantly made the referee quickly change his mind!

When he quickly approached the players on both sides, he clearly saw Li Ang pushing away the surrounding Sane and Fabregas with one hand.

But after thinking about it again and again, he still didn't rush to play his cards.

After other rational players from both sides gathered around and separated Li Ang from the Manchester City generals, the referee stepped forward and took Li Ang aside alone, and then gave him a stern verbal warning.

Seeing that Li Ang had taken advantage, he didn't say much and spread his hands to show that he recognized the referee's decision.

But it was now the turn of Manchester City's players to be dissatisfied.

"The foul he just committed was a killing move! Didn't you see it?! He should at least get a yellow card!"

Aguero, who was lying on the ground groaning in pain a few seconds ago, now looked more energetic than anyone else. He complained to the referee with great dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Li Ang did not tolerate him. He nodded and started to provoke him directly.

"Yes, I did make a 'killing' move, and your body is indeed strong enough. This didn't knock you down?

How about we try again later?"

"You are so fucking..."

The irritable Argentine striker was finally hugged away by his teammates.

Guardiola, who was standing on the sidelines helplessly at this time, was very sure that Li Ang was deliberately trying to cause trouble and forcibly interrupt Manchester City's offensive rhythm!

And this routine is not the first time he has used it, but whether it is his former Barcelona disciples or his current Manchester City disciples, they always fall for it!

Guardiola felt a headache when he thought of this.

But Mourinho on the other side smiled at the situation on the field.

As expected, after the game returned to normal, the emotional Manchester City frontcourt players seemed to be obsessed with physical confrontation with Chelsea's defensive players in the game.

Chelsea fans wished that Manchester City's offensive players would do more stupid things like this.

After all, confrontation is the absolute strength of Chelsea's midfielders and backcourt players!

If Manchester City doesn't seize the time to continue to use their technical and passing advantages, it will contribute to Chelsea's final victory!

After playing for another six or seven minutes, several Manchester City forwards who reacted to the situation turned pale again, forcibly suppressing their emotions and began to cooperate with their midfield teammates.

Seeing this, Li Ang directly signaled his teammates in the backcourt to press out and disrupt Manchester City's offensive organization in the frontcourt.

In the chaos, Li Ang personally snatched the ball from Sane's feet!

He saw Lukaku, who was pressing on the center line, decisively accelerated and began to advance, so his pass was also very decisive!

The passing and running cooperation between the two showed an unparalleled tacit understanding at this moment!

Lukaku's forward speed also greatly exceeded the expectations of Manchester City's defensive players!

Otamendi and Kolarov, who were lagging behind, double-teamed him just a little bit late, and he broke through the defense line directly, and could only follow him and eat dust!

Lukaku, who rushed out directly with a single shot, rode alone and went straight to the Manchester City penalty area!

Bravo saw that the situation was critical and didn't care too much, and finally chose to abandon the goal!

But this time Lukaku didn't shoot in the middle. He shot a smooth shot in the right area of ​​the penalty area where he was best at kicking!

This was the shooting method that Li Ang and the Chelsea coaching staff first proposed to him and mastered!

In other areas of the penalty area, Lukaku may become a happy striker, but in this area, his shot is almost certain and it is basically impossible to miss!

After confirming with his own eyes that the football crossed the line and hit the net, Lukaku ran to the bottom line alone, saying goodbye to the fans with this shot, which may be his last goal in Chelsea!

This was also the last goal of the game.

After regaining the advantage of two goals, Mourinho began to deploy his troops, replacing Gary Cahill and Kalas one after another, and finally firmly held the score of 3-1.

Chelsea also won their fifth championship trophy this year at Wembley Stadium!

Although winning the Community Shield is not a good sign for the new season in the Premier League, Chelsea players don’t care so much at this moment.

They celebrated very happily and began to imagine the last two important trophies left this year!

In an interview after the game, Li Ang was also asked by reporters about Lukaku’s upcoming transfer to Manchester United.

After pondering for a moment, he smiled and gave his answer.

"When I first met Romelu, he was very young and had great potential, just like Gnabry who transferred from Arsenal to our club this season.

Of course, Romelu is also young now, but he is no longer a potential new star. He is already one of the stars in the Premier League.

I think Gnabry, like Romelu, has the potential to become famous at a young age. They are both very talented. As long as they keep working hard and being humble, they can succeed no matter which club they are in!"

"So, do you have anything else to say to Lukaku?"

"Well... Romelu went to Manchester United, Gnabry chose to come to Chelsea, and both of them will have a bright future!"

Sorry, it's a bit late, I'm really sorry
