Chapter 354: Putting My Hands on My Waist and Raising My Eyebrows on the Sidelines, I Am An Pang, Who Am I Afraid Of?

Zhan Jun didn't know whether the fans at the Bernabeu could hold back or not, but he felt that the Real Madrid fans in China could not hold back at this moment.

Even he himself had mixed feelings when he saw Li Ang break through the Real Madrid goal.

There was no way, the Mourinho Real Madrid team was close to perfection, with record, championship, and scene.

Li Ang also won the Grand Slam of club honors in Real Madrid.

He had grown up in the best club in football, from rotation to main force, from ordinary player to football star.

Maybe Li Ang was not as strong as he is now, but the image of Li Ang wearing the Real Madrid jersey undoubtedly occupies a special place in the hearts of many fans in China.

That was the beginning of Li Ang's success, and that time also carried too many good memories of Chinese fans.

Many classic film and television dramas in various countries are showing the world the same concept:

Time passes and cannot be chased, move forward, do not regret, and do not look back.

Now it seems that Li Ang has succeeded in doing this. His career choice is very rational, and he has successfully obtained the personal honor he wanted.

He has been striving forward, never regretting and never looking back.

But as his fans, many of them who are already Real Madrid fans will inevitably fall into the memory of the good old days.

They love Real Madrid and they also love Li Ang.

So at this moment, their emotions are inevitably a little split.

When happiness and discomfort coexist, they can only smile bitterly at the familiar figure in the live camera who raised his hands and was unwilling to celebrate.

The boy is no longer a boy. He has become a strong and determined commander. Unfortunately, this time, he swung his sword at the team he once defended.

The tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu are also in a complicated mood at this moment.

They are unwilling to boo their little lion, and cheering is impossible, so all they can do is silence.

Li Ang waited until his teammates around him finished celebrating, and once again made a gesture of clasping his hands together towards the Bernabeu stands.

This is just his apology to the Real Madrid fans.

He must go all out in this game, which is both respect for Chelsea and Real Madrid.

But he also has complex emotions in terms of his personal feelings towards the fans.

He will never forget the "preference" and support of Real Madrid fans for him.

So he clasped his hands together and chose to apologize.

Such a scene made commentators from all countries feel deeply moved.

But the competition on the court will not be reduced in intensity because of a short-term warmth.

On the contrary, when falling behind at home, the players on the field of Real Madrid suddenly became "angry"!

These days, Ronaldo has not completely transformed into a "shooter", and Bale has not completely lay flat, struggling with the soleus muscle on the hospital bed.

Last season, Ronaldo played another peak performance in his career.

Scored 63 goals throughout the season, the first in football!

The total number of goals created in the season is 79, second only to Li Ang in football!

He is still the most lethal left winger in world football, no one!

When he becomes "angry", coupled with Marcelo who provides him with continuous offensive support behind him.

Real Madrid's left side is still the world's strongest wing offensive line without suspense!

Not to mention on the right side, Real Madrid also has the offensive combination of Berga and Carvajal.

Benzema's performance today is sluggish, but even if Real Madrid plays the two-wing tactics, it is still very scary.

When the game resumed, Ronaldo and Bale successively exerted their strength, taking turns to take the ball on both sides and forcibly attack Chelsea's wing defense!

Modric also returned to the front court, receiving teammates who broke through in the rib area on both sides, and James could seize the opportunity to send threatening passes forward from time to time.

Li Ang's goal broke the balance of the game in advance, and also forced Real Madrid to attack with all their strength in advance.

Before, Ronaldo and Bale did not exert much strength, perhaps because they felt that it was thankless to force Chelsea's shrinking defense line.

But now they have no other choice, even if they bite hard, they have to bite Chelsea's wing defense line down!

Li Ang saw that something was wrong. Knowing how strong Ronaldo was after his explosive performance, he quickly retreated and headed to the right back position.

Mourinho also made adjustments to his position. Chelsea changed to 4231. Li Ang and Matic fell back to assist the left and right full-backs to withstand the attack from Real Madrid's two wings.

Hazard and De Bruyne also retreated to the midfield, leaving only Suarez to head to the Real Madrid half, waiting for a counterattack opportunity.

Chelsea, who once again defended the half, continued to cut Real Madrid's offensive rhythm on the defensive end.

Fortunately, there was little time left in the first half of the game. After Real Madrid fired six shots without success, they could only stop and wait until the second half of the game to continue attacking Chelsea.

During the halftime break, Mourinho once again praised the tenacious defense of the entire Chelsea team.

Today, playing away at the Bernabeu, playing against the strongest competitor in the group, Chelsea's tactical tone is relatively conservative. There is nothing wrong with it.

After all, on paper, Chelsea is slightly stronger than Real Madrid.

So with more room for error, Mourinho will definitely focus on defense first.

Winning is of course the best, but if not, taking a point from the Bernabeu is acceptable to Mourinho.

Of course, if Chelsea were half a head behind Real Madrid in terms of strength at this moment, Mourinho's tactics would be completely different.

Maybe at the risk of losing both sides, Mourinho will have to let the players play exciting matches against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu to try his best to win the initiative to qualify for the top spot in the group.

Li Ang can understand the reason why the coaching staff has set the current tactical tone.

But he was actually mentally prepared to deal with emergencies.

Because he knows that Real Madrid is also a very resilient team now.

This kind of team does not mean that if you lead it by one or two goals first, you can sit back and wait for the end of the game.

They often burst out with strong combat effectiveness and sustained strong firepower output in the second half of the game.

In terms of experience in hard battles and big battles, this Real Madrid side has much more experience than Chelsea.

Li Ang never underestimates his enemies, and he will never underestimate his familiar former teammates.

The second half of today's game is destined to be a tough battle. He is fully prepared mentally. No matter what emergencies arise later, he will come up with his preparation plan as soon as possible...

After the short intermission, Chelsea and Real Madrid changed sides to fight again.

However, compared to the fierce competition for control of the midfield at the beginning of the first half, Chelsea decisively gave up the initiative to Real Madrid as soon as the second half started.

This is conducive to Chelsea's continued counterattack against Real Madrid, but the decision of the Chelsea coaching staff also played into Ancelotti's hands.

Real Madrid organized the attack in the midfield very calmly. They were no longer as eager and anxious as they were in the last 10 minutes of the first half.

Modric completely sorted out Real Madrid's frontcourt attack route, and James gave up possession of the ball at this moment, approaching the Chelsea penalty area more like a second forward.

Li Ang's heart sank when he saw this scene.

He subconsciously looked at Ancelotti, who was standing on the sidelines and raising his eyebrows.

I also overturned my previous view that Ancelotti would not use Modric.

"I'm just superficial. How could a coach of this level fail to use a core midfielder? Maybe..."

Somehow, the figure of Lafayette suddenly appeared in Li Ang's mind.

After the 2014 World Cup, it was Florentino who was the main force to introduce the popular James Rodriguez.

The stars bought by Galeries Lafayette must not only be used, but also reused.

An Pang is a smart man, so of course he knows who Lafayette wants to reuse.

In addition, he can indeed make good use of a classic attacking midfielder like James, so is there a possibility:

Even if he wanted to give Modric more tactical weight, due to Lafayette's plan to create a new favorite at the Bernabeu, he had to always let James serve as the apparent midfield core of Real Madrid's lineup?

Li Ang thought about it for a while, and instantly felt that Ancelotti's completely different methods of using Modric and James in the first and second half made sense!

And looking at it now, Ancelotti's choice to further put James up front is also very interesting.

Benzema didn't play much of his tactical role today, so let's put another player up front who can take the ball to reduce the offensive pressure on Ronaldo and Bell.

James is closer to Chelsea's penalty area, and he is still playing in the middle, so he will not feel dissatisfied.

As a result, Modric took control of the organization of the midfield, and he was able to free up his hands and feet to do whatever he wanted.

By the way, there’s also Benzema!

Now that James is on the front line, the forward is liberated from the center position. He can retreat deeper to fill Real Madrid's vacancy in the midfield, or at least the attacking midfielder position!

Can Benzema take the ball in the attacking midfielder position, run and shoot from behind?

That’s definitely possible!

Although Guo Feng sometimes messes around, when he is unhappy, he is indeed an all-around top attacker!

When Li Ang thought of this, his eyes changed when he looked at Ancelotti.

And only two minutes later, Benzema's deep retracement confirmed Li Ang's thoughts!

"Hey, did Benzema directly switch positions with James at this moment? He is very good at retreating to get the ball! Will Ancelotti also use his occasional guest appearance on the training ground to kick the ball? Where is the waist..."

Director Zhang joked easily in the studio.

But on the court at this moment, Chelsea's defensive players were not in a relaxed mood at all.

Ancelotti's simple substitution adjustment completely disrupted Chelsea's defensive arrangement.

After all, it was Kroos who was marking James before, but when Benzema retreated and stood in the attacking midfielder, Kroos was no match for Benzema whether he was looking at speed or confrontation!

A fully enlarged version of "James" messed up Chelsea's midfield and frontline defense.

Mourinho couldn't sit still at this moment and turned to look at Ancelotti with wide eyes.

His old friend now gave him a big problem!

With a simple position change, Ancelotti directly activated both Benzema and Modric.

Now if we want to continue to limit Real Madrid's offensive organization, we can only choose to use the positions of Li Ang and Matic.

But what about after the premise?

Benzema can also switch positions with James, and Ronaldo and Bale can move more easily on the wing!

This is not a free point question at all, but a free proposition!

Mourinho saw the situation of the game thoroughly, but at this moment he couldn't find a good solution.

It can only be said that Ancelotti is worthy of being a world-class coach from Serie A.

This adjustment is absolutely amazing!

It forced Chelsea to give up the idea of ​​defending and had to continue to fight with Real Madrid on the offensive end!

Li Ang felt it more intuitively on the court. The offensive pressure from Real Madrid suddenly increased, and their offensive had been connected!

It was not a simple one or two waves of attack and then interrupted, but a continuous and comprehensive attack on Chelsea's back line!

Li Ang knew where the root of Real Madrid's offensive rhythm was.

Modric's organization and Benzema's serial passes.

James stood in the middle to help Ronaldo and Bale on both wings relieve the offensive pressure, and his shooting range was still very long.

Before, Benzema was forced out of Chelsea's penalty area and basically could only pass the ball back.

But now James turned around with the ball and it was directly within his shooting range!

Chelsea must respect his long-range shot.

Regardless of whether Li Ang or Matic goes to the middle to limit his performance, Ronaldo and Bale who are being marked can continue to be active on the wing.

"It has to change! If we don't change the tactics, we will be passive and wait for death!"

Li Ang made a decision in his heart. The best tactical variation for Chelsea now is to go out and attack Real Madrid.

Chelsea is still leading by one goal, and attacking each other also has an overall psychological advantage. Li Ang thinks this is not a problem.

What he is waiting for is a word from the coaching staff, or a move from Mourinho.

As long as Mourinho agrees, he can immediately lead his teammates to play pressure defense and compete with Real Madrid for the initiative of the game!

Li Ang has this confidence, but at this moment Mourinho is still communicating quickly with Holland, and is not in a hurry to make a decision on tactical adjustments.

But their steady discussion gave Real Madrid time and opportunity.

In the 62nd minute of the second half, Real Madrid, who patiently made offensive penetration, finally ushered in their best offensive opportunity in the second half of the game.

Modric passed the ball to Benzema again. This time, Benzema leaned against Kroos with his back and knocked the ball back to Casemiro who was advancing.

The Brazilian midfielder quickly approached Chelsea's defensive third zone with the ball. Matic had no choice but to choose to defend, and Casemiro passed the ball to Bale!

This time, without Matic's double-teaming and assistance, Bertrand was almost lost in two steps by Bale!

Bale, who rarely succeeded in dribbling into Chelsea's defensive hinterland, did not take credit.

He sent a cross with a large arc with the outside of his foot!

At this moment, Casemiro, who rushed into Chelsea's penalty area, was just an offensive cover, because the return pass sent by Bale went straight to the top of Chelsea's penalty area!

James calmly bent his bow and arrow in this area, and chose to volley without stopping the ball!

At this moment, Li Ang also let go of Ronaldo and rushed straight to James!

But when he kicked out to interfere with the defense, James' volley was already completed!

Oblak stood on the goal line and moved ahead. He tried his best to rush to the far corner of the goal!

The audience at the scene and in front of the TV didn't see clearly whether he touched the ball or not.

But the long shot from James finally hit the inside of the post in the far corner of Chelsea's goal and bounced back into the penalty area!

Now it was the turn of the Chelsea fans at the Bernabeu to have a roller coaster mood!

But before they could completely exclaim in relief, a figure in white suddenly stood out from the chaotic Chelsea penalty area and pushed the ball that was bouncing towards him!

"James' long shot!!! Hit the goal post! And! Ronaldo's supplementary shot! This ball is there!!! Oblak failed to catch the ball, and Ronaldo's supplementary shot helped Real Madrid equalize the score!"

This time the ball also rolled into Chelsea's goal without any suspense!

Oblak was a step late in his second save, and angrily slapped the grass in front of the goal!

Li Ang also showed a bitter smile on his face. He looked at Ronaldo's figure who was passionately running towards the corner flag area to celebrate and shook his head.

"I knew it..."

The Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu began to celebrate excitedly.

They had been frustrated for 60 minutes, and at this moment they were finally able to release their passion happily!

But Ancelotti, who led all this, was still as steady as a rock!

In front of the boiling bench of Real Madrid, he raised his eyebrows again, his face was as calm as a lake, and he was not at all messy with his hands on his waist!

This is the temperament of the old top coach of Serie A.

This is Carlo Ancelotti!
