Chapter 367 It Was the Little Lion Who Saved Real Madrid in Adversity!

Manchester City fans were so angry about Li Ang. Not only did he disgust Manchester City for the whole game, but he also made sarcastic remarks after the game.

It would be ridiculous to say that Li Ang didn't do it on purpose. He was clearly hitting back at Manchester City fans who booed him for the whole game.

But even if everyone knew it, what would happen?

Li Ang and Chelsea won this crucial game at Manchester City's home stadium, which is the most important thing!

If he lost, then whatever he said now would be like quibbling, but he won, so he was qualified to speak back and couldn't find any fault at all.

Manchester City fans were very upset, and Manchester City players were also very upset, but they could only hold back their anger at this time.

Want to get back the ground?

Then they can only wait until the second half of the league to fight Chelsea again...

As soon as this focus game ended, Chelsea, who forcibly defeated Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, immediately became the invincible overlord of the Premier League promoted by the British media.

Manchester City, which suffered its first defeat in the new season, gave up the top spot in the Premier League.

However, the Manchester City team did not have much time to feel upset about this, because the battle of the Champions League group stage soon resumed after this round of the league.

Manchester City currently has 3 wins and 1 loss in Group D of the Champions League, and the momentum of qualifying from the group is very good.

However, they lost to Juventus in the second round of the group stage. Currently, Juventus has two wins and two draws and is only one point behind Manchester City, temporarily ranking second in the group.

So this round of group stage is crucial for the entire Manchester City team.

They must at least fight Juventus to get at least one point, so that they can squeeze the weak persimmon in the last round to ensure the qualification of the group leader.

In comparison, Chelsea's European war task is much easier.

The Blues will travel to the away game against Wolfsburg in this round of group stage. Because Real Madrid and Wolfsburg tied in the last round of group stage, Real Madrid now ranks second in the group with only 5 points, and Chelsea has already locked the qualification of the group leader in advance.

Therefore, Mourinho also rotated most of the main players in this round of the Champions League group stage, leading a Chelsea team that was almost entirely substitutes to the away game.

The Champions League death group played such a huge gap in points today, which was also unexpected by countless neutral fans before the start of the new season of the Champions League.

Real Madrid only scored 5 points after four rounds of group matches, but such performance and points can rank second in the group. At first glance, this group is indeed "death".

But when you look at Chelsea, who ranked first in the list with 12 points after winning all four games, the fans who may have lamented that this group is difficult to play in the last second will have to criticize Real Madrid and other competitors for "chickens fighting each other" in the next second.

But in general, Real Madrid's performance in these four rounds of group matches is not bad.

Losing to Chelsea was a regrettable defeat, drawing with CSKA Moscow was due to the weather, and drawing with Wolfsburg in the last round of group matches was purely a loss to luck.

After all, Real Madrid led Wolfsburg 2-0 for a full 80 minutes, but in the last ten minutes of the game, Wolfsburg was lucky enough to score two deflected goals in a row!

On Real Madrid's side, Ronaldo hit the post. If Real Madrid had been a little more lucky, they wouldn't have suffered such a bizarre draw.

If you have to explain, it's understandable that Real Madrid was forced to draw, but more neutral fans who only look at the results don't buy it.

The rhetoric of "Chelsea hammered Wolfsburg and CSKA to the ground, and now you are trying to find excuses for losing points" made the Meilingges speechless.

And regardless of whether it was because of luck or other reasons that they didn't get enough points before, Real Madrid has indeed reached an uncomfortable point now.

They have 5 points, Wolfsburg has 4 points. In this round of group matches, Chelsea has no desire to challenge Wolfsburg away, and they have to fight with CSKA Moscow, which still has hope of qualifying...

It's easy to see which side is easy to play and which side is not easy to play!

Moreover, Real Madrid fans really have no right to let Chelsea and Wolfsburg fight again.

Chelsea has already qualified as the group leader, and they have just finished fighting against strong opponents in the league. They must take turns to rest in this round of group matches.

You can't just fight Wolfsburg again for Real Madrid's qualification, right?

Many pessimistic Real Madrid fans have even determined that Wolfsburg will defeat Chelsea, who came on as substitutes, and get three more points in this round of group matches.

Now they can only pray that their players will not let down again, and must firmly defeat CSKA Moscow and keep the qualification of the group in their hands.

As for whether they can beat Chelsea, who are unbeaten at home, at Stamford Bridge in the last round, let fate decide!

On the evening of November 24, Chelsea, who played almost entirely as substitutes against Wolfsburg, made their debut at the Volkswagen Arena.

In order to allow the main players to rest more fully, Mourinho only selected two main players when confirming the 18-man roster before the game, and the other main players stayed in London to rest well.

The two unlucky ones who were chosen were naturally Li Ang and Matic, who was in good physical condition.

However, neither of them started the game today. When the game officially started, they were sitting on the bench chatting casually.

Mourinho sat calmly on the coaching bench, watching the substitutes who started the game today perform.

He didn't have too many requirements for the result of today's game. After all, it was an away game. As long as the substitutes showed their fighting spirit and played to their technical characteristics, it would be completely ok.

He didn't expect to win. A draw would be the best. If it didn't draw, as long as they didn't lose too badly, that would be fine.

However, although Chelsea's coaching staff was very relaxed, they didn't have too many requirements for the regular substitutes and the young players promoted from the second team.

But these young players and substitutes still had a lot of game pressure. After all, they were going to play in the Champions League today!

This is not the League Cup in England. In the Champions League, their performance will be seen and commented on by more people.

When they thought of this, they couldn't relax even if they wanted to.

So after Wolfsburg put pressure on Chelsea, the players who started for Chelsea today performed very reluctantly.

Once the players were nervous, they would easily make mistakes in the confrontation, let alone play to their technical advantages at this time.

Unable to withstand the pressure, frequent fouls, even their best quick counterattack was difficult to play...

Mourinho looked at the performance of the players on the field and frowned on the bench.

He is now much more patient in training young players than in the past, but to be honest, even the most patient coach can hardly bear the current situation of the game!

Chelsea lost the first goal of the game in the 17th minute of the first half.

Cheek made a reckless tackle in the midfield, but he didn't stop it, but lost his defensive position!

Van Ginkel immediately made up for Draxler who passed Cheek, but the German genius winger sent the through ball first!

Kruse successfully countered the offside, got rid of Zouma's defense, and easily got a single opportunity.

Begovic failed to save the team this time, and was broken by Kruse's low shot.

This way of losing the ball not only made Mourinho shake his head, but also made Li Ang and Matic, who were sitting on the bench, speechless.

"Reuben's brain is still not open, how could he lose the ball in that position?!"

"He is not uninformed, he just has a problem with his thinking. If you ask him to defend honestly, he can't defend. He still wants to steal the ball and advance to the front court to participate in the attack."

"This kid really wastes his physical talent. Such a good seedling for playing as a defensive midfielder, why does he always like to go forward..."

After Li Ang and Matic complained for a few words, they couldn't help but think of Khedira, the face brother of the year.

They also have a tall and strong body, and they also seem to have outstanding beast waist talent, but they also always think about their not outstanding forward insertions...

If Chike is willing to calm down and hone his defensive skills, then even if he can't gain a foothold in Chelsea in the future, he will have the opportunity to play as a main starter in other bottom-tier teams.

But if he can't change his bad habit of always losing his position, his future ceiling will definitely be dragged down by himself.

Although Mourinho did not successfully transform Brother Face, he finally discovered Li Ang and formed a tough midfield trio.

It can be regarded as avoiding Brother Face's technical shortcomings as much as possible on the field and giving full play to his technical strengths.

But now Chick has not even played in the Premier League, and there is no chance to enjoy the tactical formulation service of the Chelsea coaching staff.

He can only take the initiative to adapt to the tactical requirements of the coaching staff like Li Ang did at the beginning, and do his auxiliary work well, so that he has the opportunity to further obtain more tactical authority.

However, looking at Chick's performance on the field in recent times, Chelsea fans don't expect him to become the "Chelsea version of the little lion" anyway.

The difference in football intelligence is obvious, and the Chelsea coaching staff has given him a chance, but he is useless!

The Wolfsburg fans at the Volkswagen Arena celebrated happily.

Amid the jubilation, Mourinho gestured to the players on the field not to worry and to play calmly.

He won't replace Chie immediately at this moment. He will give him the chance he deserves. He still hopes that Chie can come to his senses.

Terry, who started today and served as the captain on the field, also calmed the emotions of his young teammates.

However, when the game resumed, Terry and Mourinho found that the young Chelsea players on the field still couldn't cope well with Wolfsburg's continuous pressure rhythm.

Chie, who always lost his defensive position, and the young left-back Baba who was almost blown up by Draxler in the match today.

These two people couldn't play normally, and Chelsea was not only affected in defense.

After all, the number of ball possessions recovered was too small, and Gnabry and Salah, who were waiting for counterattacks in front, had no place to use their personal abilities!

It was rare for Chelsea to be completely suppressed by the opponent on the field, and it was difficult to even fight back.

Many Real Madrid fans who specially watched this game today chose to go back to watch the game between Real Madrid and CSKA in advance.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Draxler broke through Baba and shot to help Wolfsburg successfully expand their lead. Naturally, more Real Madrid fans gave up on Chelsea's game.

But Real Madrid and CSKA Moscow temporarily tied 1-1, and the Meilingge fans were extremely anxious!

Until the start of the second half, Chelsea received the news that Leon replaced Chie, and Real Madrid fans had great hope again!

Leon's appearance was actually a low-probability event. Mourinho didn't want to give Leon and Matic a chance to play in this game.

But Wolfsburg was too unruly!

Leading by two goals at halftime was almost enough. If Wolfsburg had shrunk its formation to control the field or played a counterattack earlier, Mourinho would have accepted today's defeat.

But after leading by two goals, Wolfsburg was still attacking wildly, showing a posture that it had to beat Chelsea's tragedy, which made Mourinho unacceptable!

I'll give you face first, if you don't want it, then sorry, don't be angry if I overturn the table!

So as soon as the halftime break was over, Mourinho sent Leon to the field first, and Matic slowly warmed up on the sidelines at the beginning of the second half.

Such changes made it difficult for the home Wolfsburg fans to cheer enthusiastically.

After Li Ang came on the court, he immediately moved to the left side, directly helping Baba, who was hit by Draxler in the first half, to fill the defensive loopholes.

When Draxler saw Li Ang's position, he immediately chose to switch positions with his teammates and ran to their left side, which was decisive.

After consolidating his own defense, Li Ang took over the ball organization from his young midfielder teammate Piazon.

He did not easily move forward, but first sorted out the ball in the midfield and backcourt, allowing Van Ginkel to comfortably participate in the organization and dispatch.

After Wolfsburg pressed forward again, he got the ball and launched a long pass counterattack!

In the 59th minute of the second half, Li Ang's flat and fast long pass accurately found Llorente who was standing in position.

After the Spanish center forward steadily took the ball, he smoothly transferred the ball to the right.

Salah had been holding back for half the game and had not played well. After successfully getting the ball, he faced Wolfsburg's left back Rodriguez. Salah did not talk about any technical skills, but just went to the sideline to overtake!

Rodriguez is now one of the top three left backs in the Bundesliga. He is quite strong and did not lose his defensive position directly after desperately chasing back.

Salah did not act recklessly when he saw this, but decisively dribbled the ball and knocked it back to the middle.

At this moment, Li Ang directly resisted the defensive interference of Wolfsburg midfielder Tresch and started an unreasonable and strong advancement!

Seeing that Li Ang was about to enter his shooting range, the Wolfsburg defenders could not help but move closer to his side.

But just as they were moving collectively in a large scale, Li Ang sent a large-scale transfer ball to the left again!

Gnabry, who had been patiently waiting for the opportunity, did not make any mistakes. After almost perfect unloading, he dribbled the ball directly to the ground, and then sent a very comfortable back pass to the Wolfsburg penalty area!

Li Ang followed closely and moved forward to the front of Wolfsburg's penalty area. Dante quickly defended him, but the ball finally flew over their heads.

At this moment, Llorente had already jumped high in the back of Wolfsburg's penalty area, and made a fully stretched head shot!

Today, Wolfsburg's starting goalkeeper Castells rushed to the back point with all his strength!

But Llorente's head shot was very powerful, and he was too close to the goal!

The football hit the net behind Wolfsburg's goal in an instant!

After Li Ang came on the court, he had not even finished the fifteen-minute game, but he had already made contributions on both ends of the offense and defense, and successfully launched a counterattack to score a goal!

After seeing the ball enter the net, Li Ang did not choose to celebrate, but rushed into Wolfsburg's goal, picked up the ball and ran to the kick-off point!

He was not satisfied with saving the team's face at all. He wanted to continue scoring goals, get points at Wolfsburg's home court, or even win!

The morale of the entire Chelsea team was immediately boosted!

Llorente also roared in celebration while following Li Ang's footsteps back to the half!

The Wolfsburg fans at home were confused at the moment, while many fans in front of the TV were in tears watching Li Ang's determined back!

It has been more than two years, but Li Ang can still "save" Real Madrid in adversity!

Who can understand this feeling!
