Chapter 371 The Possibility of Returning to Real Madrid?

Li Ang's post-match speech seemed to have touched the sensitive tails of countless Manchester United fans, making them jump with anger!

What does "Manchester United has to adapt to the days of playing in the Europa League for a long time" mean?

Is this human language?

Manchester United's performance in recent seasons has indeed been a bit turbulent, but that is also because the team is in the pain period of reconstruction.

Manchester United has money and people, and the foundation of the entire team is not bad. At most, there are many problems in the appointment of coaches.

What do you mean that things are different now? !

Manchester United is not Milan. As one of the top clubs in the world in terms of commercial operations, the large amount of money Manchester United earns every year is the confidence of the fans.

Let's wait and see!

When Manchester United welcomes the "new Ferguson" to rectify the chaos, those who have laughed at Manchester United in the past few years will be severely slapped in the face!

The Red Devils fans believe this and are full of expectations...

Li Ang couldn't help but sigh after watching the "counterattack" of Manchester United fans on the Internet. These days, Manchester United fans, both local and overseas, are still very ambitious.

However, he was too lazy to continue to refute these Red Devils fans who still had great expectations for Manchester United.

Time will prove that everything he said is correct, and the fact that the Glazer family continues to suck blood from Manchester United will not change at all.

In the end, only these poor Manchester United fans are sad.

Li Ang is deeply sorry for this, but he has no relationship with Manchester United. After a little sigh, he is still very happy to welcome the long-awaited holiday.

After the 22nd round of the Premier League, the Premier League will be temporarily suspended, and the 23rd round of the Premier League will be restarted 9 days later.

Without the constraints of club and national team competitions, the main players of all Premier League teams have ushered in a golden rest period.

Chelsea's coaching staff gave the whole team three days off anyway.

Li Ang originally wanted to take Anna, who was on winter vacation, back to Madrid for a visit, but Ibrahimovic made an appointment halfway, so Li Ang went directly to Milan.

Ibrahimovic and Boateng drove to the airport to greet Li Ang and Anna. The three brothers hadn't met for a long time, and they were very enthusiastic when they met again.

Before Li Ang came to Milan, he took a look at Milan's recent record. Of course, he knew why Ibrahimovic and Boateng were in a good mood now.

Ibrahimovic scored goals in the last three rounds of the league, helping Milan win three consecutive victories and leading Milan to the top three in Serie A!

After experiencing a failed Bundesliga career and being terminated by Schalke 04, Boateng re-signed with Milan and regained his confidence in his career.

Currently, in the first 20 rounds of the Serie A in the new season, Ibrahimovic scored 12 goals and had 5 assists, and Boateng also had 4 goals and 4 assists.

Galliani originally wanted to ride a bicycle to bring two famous players back to Milan to support the new season, but he didn't expect that this haul really brought the goal of reviving Milan to the table!

Under the leadership of Ibrahimovic, Milan is now as stable as an old dog in its ability to bully weak teams. The team's online combat power may not be comparable to Juventus and Naples, but it is not inferior to Inter Milan and Roma.

If we look forward to it, Milan will not only regain the position of Serie A from Juventus in recent seasons, but at least it can return to the Champions League zone stably.

This is the most important thing for the Milan management who now adheres to the "truth" of spending little money to do big things.

After all, being able to return to the top four in Serie A and being able to play in the Champions League stably every year means more money!

After two or three seasons of such a virtuous cycle of operation, Milan will be able to catch its breath again and greatly shorten the revival period.

If it were the previous Ibrahimovic, he would definitely not agree with this way of operating the club.

After all, he wants to win the Champions League more. When a club does not have the ambition to invest a lot of money, it will naturally not attract his attention.

But after Chelsea successfully won the Champions League, Ibrahimovic's mentality has completely changed.

He returned to his favorite club, patiently taught younger teammates and encouraged them to grow.

He is still the Zlatan who pursues victory on the court, and in private, he has become a more mature and more respectable model leader.

Li Ang is very happy to see that his former teammates are now living a comfortable life and their careers are going very smoothly.

He stayed in Milan for three consecutive days to reminisce with old friends. It happened that Anna also liked to stay in Milan to watch the fashion show. The couple spent a very beautiful three-day holiday in Milan.

In the end, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh deeply when he thought about going back to London soon.

After all, to be honest, the living experience in London is really incomparable to cities like Milan, Barcelona and Madrid.

But despite the complaints, Li Ang quickly returned to the training base to report after the holiday.

After the tight schedule, the mental state of Chelsea's main players who got a rare rest period has greatly improved.

After resuming training, Chelsea's coaching staff was not in a hurry to increase the intensity immediately.

After completing a full day of recovery training, Chelsea started tactical drills normally.

Because the next round of the league opponent is Crystal Palace, the Chelsea team's preparation mentality seems to be more relaxed.

However, two days before the game with Crystal Palace, Mendes went to England to bring a piece of news that really disturbed Li Ang's mind.

"Return to Real Madrid? Didn't we discuss this topic in the summer? I don't think it's a good time to continue discussing this matter. Jorge, I have renewed my contract with Chelsea..."

Faced with Mendes' straightforward proposal, Li Ang subconsciously wanted to refuse to discuss it.

On the one hand, as he said, he and Chelsea have just renewed their new contract. He is doing well in Chelsea now. There is really no need to risk falling out with Chelsea's top management and fans to return to Real Madrid.

Wasn't the lesson of Fabregas tragic enough?

On the other hand, of course, it was because of Ronaldo.

Li Ang chose to leave Real Madrid in order to lead the team to win the Champions League and compete for the Golden Ball.

Now Ronaldo is still in a good state. Why would he return to Real Madrid at this juncture and have to compete with Ronaldo for the Golden Ball?

He believed that Mendes knew this, and he and Mendes had reached a consensus last summer.

So now he somewhat did not understand Mendes's re-raising of the old matter.

"Originally, everything was fine, but, alas... Let me be honest, Leon, Chris has bypassed me and directly forced Mr. Perez to abdicate!

I don't know what he thinks, but now this problem is in front of me. I will fly directly to Madrid tomorrow to meet with Real Madrid's top management. I have no idea about this negotiation, and I have made the worst plan!

Chris has his own needs, I can understand, and I also think he deserves a higher annual salary, but he is too willful this time!

Things have come to this point, I hope you can also be mentally prepared, if... I mean if! If Chris really chooses to leave Real Madrid after the end of this season, then you must be mentally prepared to be poached by Real Madrid. After all, taking you back to the Bernabeu is what Mr. Perez has been thinking about the most in the past two years..."

Mendes explained the ins and outs of the matter. Finally, he left with a little relief, but what he left for Leon was shock and confusion.

Li Ang really didn't expect that the brilliant success of their Mourinho Real Madrid would stimulate Ronaldo in advance and make him choose to "take risks" for his salary increase rights.

And the lack of heavyweight championship trophies in Real Madrid in the past two seasons has also made the old man less tolerant of Ronaldo.

Imagine if Ronaldo really chose to leave Real Madrid this summer, would the old man try to bring him back to the Bernabeu at all costs as Mendes said?

Li Ang instinctively wanted to persuade himself that this was unlikely to happen, but he finally had to admit that according to the old man's temperament, he could really do it!

It happened that Li Ang also heard Mendes talking about Abramovich's excessive investment in the transfer market in recent years, his personal business was not very prosperous, and his cash flow was a little tight...

Putting these things together, Li Ang couldn't help but suffer from a little insomnia before the game for the first time.

But his ability to adjust is still very strong.

After forcing himself not to fantasize too much about things that haven't happened yet, Li Ang also adjusted his personal schedule and mentality before the official start of the league match with Crystal Palace.

On the afternoon of January 25, Li Ang, who seemed to be normal, appeared in the starting lineup of the league match between Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

This game did not attract much attention from the British media before the game, after all, the suspense was too small.

Crystal Palace, ranked ninth in the league, can't cause too much trouble for Chelsea in the game no matter how you look at it.

But media publicity is only one aspect, and it's another matter when it comes to the game.

Although Crystal Palace is currently ranked ninth in the Premier League, it is only four points away from West Ham United, which is sixth in the Premier League!

If it really doesn't have two brushes, will Crystal Palace be rated by the British media as the biggest rival of Liverpool to enter the top six this season?

After the game officially started that day, Crystal Palace had the advantage of home court and actively put pressure on Chelsea's defense from the beginning of the game.

Zaha was also very active today. He repeatedly took the ball to create danger in the opening stage, and even suppressed Trippier at one point, making him afraid to take the ball and move forward easily.

Li Ang rarely took the initiative to retreat in the opening stage to help his teammates consolidate the defense.

While he was sighing that another "Zah ball king" in London was in good shape today, he decisively took a ruthless action and strangled Zaha's possibility of continuing to explode one-on-one!

Because Chelsea was playing away, today's tactical play was relatively conservative and safe.

After Li Ang locked Zaha in the opening stage, Mourinho simply signaled the team to shrink the formation first and switch to the defensive tug-of-war stage.

It was not until the first 30 minutes of the first half that Mourinho felt that the spirit of the Crystal Palace starters had been almost exhausted, and then he directed the disciples on the field to slowly press out and test the attack!

However, at this time, Crystal Palace's head coach Alan Pardew was also very smart and made timely tactical adjustments, and did not choose to fight Chelsea.

Crystal Palace, which resolutely and thoroughly switched to a defensive posture, did not allow Chelsea to gain any advantage. The two teams ended up in a 0-0 draw in the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea chose to rush to the start, and the offensive was fierce, which almost made Crystal Palace unable to raise their heads!

It was also at this stage that Suarez seized the opportunity again, received De Bruyne's inward cut and passed the ball to successfully break offside and scored a goal!

After breaking the deadlock, Chelsea went into the defensive counterattack stage that they are most familiar with.

Alan Pardew was very helpless, but at home, he could not face the situation of falling behind and signal the team to consolidate the defense first.

So attacking became the only choice for Crystal Palace at this moment!

In the first 60 minutes of the game, South Korean winger Li Qinglong, who played mediocrely, was decisively replaced by Alan Pardew, and the Moroccan winger Shamahe replaced him.

This Moroccan genius offensive player was once a fierce player on the wing of Ligue 1, but unfortunately he was injured frequently in the second season after transferring to Arsenal, and his spirit was completely gone.

In the 13-14 season, the Moroccan winger was able to score six goals in a single season at Crystal Palace, which was quite a bit of a last-minute glimpse in his career, but then the disease found him again.

After several years of wasting time and suffering from injuries, Shamakh is no longer a threatening winger except for his rich game experience.

But Alan Pardew had no choice, after all, he only had so many people to use, and there was only one pure winger sitting on the bench, Shamakh.

After making such a substitution, Crystal Palace's offensive can be imagined.

Zaha was alone on the left side, but Li Ang took the initiative to sacrifice his offensiveness and completely stared him down on the defensive end, and Crystal Palace could no longer turn over the slightest threat!

In the 78th minute of the second half, Chelsea seized the opportunity of Crystal Palace's full-line pressure and played another wonderful quick counterattack!

This time it was Suarez who received Li Ang's long pass and advanced with the ball.

In the good situation of 3 vs. 3 in the frontcourt, Suarez attracted the attention of two Crystal Palace defenders, and then passed the ball to De Bruyne who was also high-speed on the right side.

Then De Bruyne's powerful cross-pass found Hazard, who was almost unguarded at the back of the Crystal Palace penalty area, and assisted him to easily push the ball into the goal!

Once the ball was scored, Chelsea established the victory, and the final score of the game was firmly fixed at 2-0.

When celebrating with teammates after the game, Li Ang's eyes would flash with contemplation from time to time.

On the other side of the sea in Madrid, a huge storm that was enough to shock the world sports world was also quietly brewing...
