Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 381

Chapter 374 I’ll wait for you in the next round~

“Trapp has made a contribution! But the ball…the ball is still under Chelsea’s control! Kroos knocked the ball horizontally again! Li Ang putt!!! The ball went in-!!!

The ball is there! The ball is there! ! ! Li Ang! Li Ang pushed the football into the Paris goal in the most Cross way! Is he paying close tribute to his midfield partner? Ha ha ha ha……”

“The shot was so crisp! Li Ang! This shot was really beautiful! Trapp was completely helpless by Li Ang’s putter. I think Li Ang should have specifically asked Cross for advice in private~

I suggest that from now on, the two brothers can guard the top of the penalty area on one side. Anyway, they can both hit high-quality push shots, and the opponent’s goalkeeper will be hard to guard against! ”

In the studio, Director Zhan Jun and Director Zhang were in awe of Li Ang’s exquisite putt shot!

Strangely enough, Li Ang rarely used this trick to score goals before, but now that he suddenly uses it, no one is surprised.

It’s probably his incredible learning ability that fans and the media have taken for granted.

After all, many fans have watched Li Ang transform from an offensive rookie to the all-around offensive player he is now.

Not to mention that he learned some putting and shooting skills from his teammates.

Even if he suddenly practiced free kicks one day and performed Ronaldo’s tomahawk on the field, most fans would take it for granted.

Isn’t this the biggest characteristic of Li Ang? He can practice anything, and he is particularly good at practicing everything!

Cross, who was celebrating with Li Ang on the baseline at the moment, also smiled and patted Li Ang on the head. I wonder if he was praising Li Ang for his skill in putting.

While other Chelsea players were celebrating at the moment, they also covered their mouths and exchanged new views on the strength of Paris.

“Their forwards are much more active in returning to defense than before. What a big change! I don’t think it is against the rules to change their home jersey to Bayern’s.”

“It’s not easy to play anymore. This kind of team is not short of money. As long as they are willing to put their heads down and build the team pragmatically, their combat effectiveness will improve very quickly.”

“But as long as we score the ball first, it will be easy! No matter if they are pragmatic or not, the rhythm of today’s game must be in our hands anyway!”

“You still have to be more careful. Di Maria is in very good condition today. His performance has not been weak at all since he left Manchester United. He almost beat me to death just now…”

“Ha! Ask the boss to help you, or you can tell the boss directly and ask him to go down and take it easy~”

“Fake Squid…”

Chelsea’s generals on the field were in a good mood, and after taking a one-goal lead, they all reminded themselves not to let down their guard.

In comparison, the atmosphere within the Paris Saint-Germain team is naturally a bit silent now.

However, Blanco has also done a good job in team building in the past two years, especially when he clearly established Motta, the new core of the locker room.

Veterans who are used to the ups and downs of the game may not be the strongest, but their calm mentality can often make them the anchor of a team.

At this moment, Mota used his words of encouragement to fulfill his responsibility of stabilizing the morale of the soldiers.

If it were still Paris Saint-Germain, where the team often had disagreements after Ibrahimovic left two seasons ago, there would have been problems with the team’s tactical thinking.

But now after some comfort and encouragement from Motta, the main players in Paris quickly regained their composure, forgot about the fact that they conceded the goal, and devoted themselves to the game again!

Such a positive performance is undoubtedly a morale booster. After a short period of disappointment, Paris fans were encouraged by the good mentality of their players.

After all, the players who are working hard on the field are still motivated, and they have not surrendered. What reason do the fans off the field not give them their full support? !

The loud cheers and cheers once again echoed throughout the Parc des Princes!

Mourinho felt the fanatical fighting atmosphere at his opponent’s home court at this moment, and couldn’t help but feel a little worried about the development of the next game.

He still trusts his disciples 100%, but the beaten Paris Saint-Germain is really difficult to deal with.

This Paris Saint-Germain team has excellent staffing in the front, middle and backcourt, and after solving the team’s mental problems, the energy that such a team bursts out is often very amazing!

Especially the forward line of Paris Saint-Germain, Higuain and Di Maria were both Mourinho’s ace offensive players.

Mourinho knows them too well, and it is precisely because of this understanding that he has to frequently walk to the sidelines at this moment to tell his disciples to be careful of Paris’ offensive penetration.

Chelsea’s defensive players certainly take their coach’s instructions very seriously.

When Di Maria and Lucas Moura once again changed positions to involve Chelsea’s defense, Trippier, who started at right back today, simply moved inward.

Di Maria had previously tortured Azpilicueta when he played on the right. The Argentine wing superstar’s personal state today was outstanding.

Trippier is very self-aware. The full-back with the best defensive skills in the team can’t do anything to Di Maria today. Can he still take the initiative to limit the opponent?

Therefore, if he wants to give Di Maria less opportunities, he can only strategically leave the outside and defend the inside.

Letting Di Maria pass in is already limiting his personal performance.

Moreover, the cross ball sent by Di Maria into the Chelsea penalty area will basically be solved first by Maguire, the aerial bully.

It is more important to prevent Di Maria from cutting inside and having a threatening shot.

Even if he has to temporarily give up the forward attack, he must first cooperate with his teammates to limit Di Maria!

Trippier’s defensive choice is very effective. Between the easier advancement and the more difficult strong breakthrough and cutting inside, Di Maria will of course choose the former first.

So Paris’ subsequent offensive started quickly, after all, they were able to rely on Di Maria to smoothly transfer the ball into the Chelsea penalty area every time.

From the process point of view, their attack is very threatening, and Blanco also feels that their offensive has been played.

It is in the finishing in front of the goal that Paris has always lacked some heat.

Higuain is still one of the few top all-around center forwards in today’s football, but his characteristics of being stronger against weaker opponents and invisible against stronger ones are also his old problems.

Even though he has broken the goal record in the French Ligue 1 in the past two seasons, he still failed to play a classic battle with a very personal color in the Champions League.

At this time, under the close defense of Thiago Silva, he once again disappeared from the field.

He could only appear briefly in the live broadcast camera when he retreated out of the Chelsea penalty area to receive the pass from his teammates.

You must say that he is not good at playing hard games and cannot score key goals under pressure.

But if you look at the opponent he is facing from Higuain’s perspective at this moment, you can more or less understand his “inaction”.

It’s not that he is not flexible in running, nor that he is not fighting hard enough to grab points.

It’s really that the central defender combination he faces is too comprehensive, and he doesn’t give him any chance at all, whether on the ground or in the air!

He actually played a tactical role, at least he has now tied up most of Thiago Silva and Maguire’s defensive energy.

But his other striker teammate Lucas Jr. prefers to move on the wing, and his role in grabbing points in the penalty area is almost non-existent, so what can he do?

Experienced old fans actually think that Higuain plays pretty well.

At this time, if Paris Saint-Germain can play another center forward to cooperate with Higuain to contain the goal, then Paris’ offensive threat will be improved.

Whether it is a column-type center forward or a flexible center forward who can grab the goal, they can work with Higuain. It is completely fine if there is no forward on the other side for the time being.

Thinking of this, many fans turned their eyes to another center forward on the bench of Paris Saint-Germain, “Tiger” Gignac!

This strong French center forward is also a killer in the French Ligue 1.

Last season, Gignac played for Marseille and scored 22 goals in the French Ligue 1, ranking second in the scorer list, second only to Higuain who scored 36 goals.

If it weren’t for the fact that Gignac’s contract with Marseille expired and was not renewed, Paris Saint-Germain would not have been able to pick up such a big bargain and recruit him.

In the new season, Gignac, who rotated with Higuain in Paris Saint-Germain, has scored 10 league goals so far, and his goal efficiency is not a problem at all.

And he has proved in the French Ligue 1 that there is no problem with his compatibility with Higuain.

Fans who know a little about the French Ligue 1 now think that Blanc will consider replacing Gignac to continue to attack Chelsea’s defense.

But it is obvious that Blanc thinks completely differently from them, or Blanc has his own considerations at the tactical level.

The Paris coach did not replace another center forward to increase firepower at such a critical moment of attack. He seemed to trust his starting offensive players more.

Unfortunately, the game situation did not develop as Blanc hoped. Di Maria and Higuain did not have their “flash of inspiration” moment.

And Paris’s other striker Lucas was still fighting with Azpilicueta on the wing, and his mind was not in the penalty area at all.

Chelsea therefore defended the rest of the first half of the game without any danger.

Judging from the surface of the game and the data in the second half of the first half of the game, Paris Saint-Germain did control the initiative of the game.

They had more ball possession, more shooting attempts and corner kick opportunities.

But in fact, they did not threaten Chelsea’s goal very often. The attack was quite lively, but the tip of the spearhead was too blunt and could not penetrate Chelsea’s defense system at all.

However, during the halftime break, Mourinho still repeatedly reminded his disciples to continue to defend well in the second half and not to underestimate the enemy.

“I would rather you think I’m nagging, but we return to Stamford Bridge with a victory, than say something nice that you like to hear at this time, and then let you make fatal mistakes in the subsequent defense.

Believe me, Higuain and Di Maria can be mediocre for 89 minutes, but they may not need a minute in the end, only 10 seconds or even less time, to make our high-quality defense of the whole game come to nothing!

You can empathize with this matter, think more about those teams that were killed or equalized by your captain at the last moment… When you are slack, think about the offensive player standing in front of you at this moment is Li Ang, understand? Find that feeling…”

When Mourinho expressed the abstract defensive concerns in a more specific way, the Chelsea defender who subconsciously looked at Li Ang’s eyes changed!

Li Ang was made to laugh and cry by his own boss, but at this moment he could only keep responding to Mourinho’s words.

He didn’t know what his teammates were thinking when they looked at him, but when the second half started, he could clearly feel that his teammates around him were indeed more focused on defense!

Blanco had been standing on the sidelines since the start of the second half, and he couldn’t sit down for a moment.

But he only watched the game for six or seven minutes, and the worry between his brows couldn’t be relaxed.

In the 53rd minute of the second half, Blanco kept shaking his head when he saw Paris Saint-Germain being intercepted twice by Chelsea’s midfield defense in an attack, and finally only got a chance for a throw-in.

He muttered in his mouth, just like countless Paris Saint-Germain fans at this moment, complaining about Chelsea’s defensive tactics and defensive quality.

But Mourinho, who was one of the targets of the complaints, didn’t care about the live broadcast cameras that frequently came to him.

He was very satisfied with the defensive tenacity of his disciples!

If they were to run and play, and play against Paris Saint-Germain today, the performance of the Paris strikers would not be what it is now.

So it is very necessary to slow down the rhythm of the game and drag it into a positional battle.

The talents of Paris strikers will be suppressed in positional warfare, while the talents of Chelsea defenders will be fully revealed.

Such a victory is indeed very ugly, and can even be said to be ugly, but it is safe and stable!

Not conceding a goal in the first away game, and being able to get an away goal, such an ending is quite perfect for Chelsea.

Mourinho wanted such a result. When Paris Saint-Germain finally couldn’t help but start to attack wildly in the second half of the game, he even took the initiative to signal Leon and Kroos to commit tactical fouls.

This kind of almost rogue behavior naturally made the coaching staff of Paris very dissatisfied. The coaching staff of the two teams gestured and sprayed each other on the sidelines, and even interrupted the game process for a time.

But the strikers of Paris Saint-Germain did not have the strong fighting power of their coaching staff.

Until the last second of the game, they failed to knock on Chelsea’s goal.

Oblak was a god in one battle, contributing a full 12 effective saves in a single game!

The Slovenian goalkeeper was so shocked that he blocked the long-range shots of Higuain and Lucas at the last moment of the game!

After the game, looking at the sharp contrast of 23-5 shots between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, French reporters didn’t know what to say.

Some were proud, but more helpless.

After all, Paris Saint-Germain can score so many shots because Chelsea has left too much space for long shots after actively shrinking its formation.

And Chelsea, who has been impeccable in defense throughout the game, naturally has more reasons to leave Paris with their heads held high!

Li Ang was very satisfied with the result of the first round of the two teams.

He chatted with his old friends in Paris Saint-Germain for a while after the game.

After accepting the interviews from French reporters, he also enthusiastically “invited” Paris Saint-Germain:

“See you in London in the second round, waiting for you~”

Oh my god, this disease is finally getting better, and acupuncture is still effective!

Then I wish you all a happy weekend in advance, and pay attention to keep warm!
