Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 405
c397 Blue fairy tale, blue giants!
Under the bright lights, the excitement on Li Ang’s face was clearly visible in the live camera.
He slapped his chest, roared wantonly, and celebrated passionately, and most of the fans at the scene responded to him with passionate cheers and roars!
The Juventus fans mixed in between Chelsea and Milan fans were extremely uncomfortable at the moment.
While being hit by the cruel reality of Li Ang’s goal, they had to accept the current situation where the neutral stadium became the opponent’s home stadium in seconds.
The fans of the teams participating in the Champions League final in recent years are probably the most frustrated!
Some Juventus fans who couldn’t stand it all booed strongly in resistance, but soon, the sound they made was suppressed by the louder cheers that followed!
It turned out that Li Ang, who had just gotten rid of the excited “clutches” of his teammates, was cheering again, signaling the fans who supported Chelsea and him to make a bigger celebration!
The fans who were familiar with Li Ang’s personality in front of the TV all smiled at this moment.
Of course, they understood that Li Ang was seizing the opportunity to “build momentum” for Chelsea.
The more enthusiastic the atmosphere of supporting Chelsea at San Siro, the greater the pressure on the entire Juventus team.
Don’t say that the atmosphere on the field has little impact on the players’ performance.
There are very few players in the entire football world who can ignore the boos of the opponent’s fans and always play steadily.
If there are really big-hearted players everywhere in the football world, what is the meaning of the home and away system in the current mainstream football league?
So it is very important to transform today’s San Siro into your home court. At least in Li Ang’s view, this is also a feasible way to help your team win the championship steadily.
In the first half, the balance of the game was broken, the leading advantage was achieved, and more fans were supported on the scene. Li Ang was very satisfied with this situation.
What Chelsea needs to do next is to maintain the stability of the performance, control the rhythm of the game, and not let too many unexpected situations occur.
It is actually difficult to do all these at the same time, because the opponent is not a robot, and will play the game according to your preset game mode.
They are also eager to win, and will be excited for scoring first, and will also be nervous and nervous for being scored by the opponent first.
The intense emotional changes will prompt them to move forward bravely and fight back desperately. It is quite difficult to control the rhythm of the game in this situation.
But for Chelsea, who are determined to win the championship, no matter how difficult it is, they must control the opponent’s counterattack.
After the celebration, Li Ang pulled his teammates and repeatedly emphasized: they need to focus on “control” of the game.
At this moment, Mourinho, who forced himself to clear his mind, also stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly to his disciples, emphasizing the words “calm” and “control”.
Seeing this, other Chelsea players on the field who were originally a little emotional also straightened out their tactical ideas.
Allegri, who was quite disappointed with the situation of the game, paced on the sidelines. Although he was anxious, the emotions on his face at this moment were relatively stable.
While the game has not yet resumed, Allegri kept cheering up his disciples on the sidelines, encouraging them to continue to boldly try to attack in the next game.
Even such a bold attack made him a little nervous, and it was not a tactical instruction he was willing to issue.
But for Juventus at this time, a firm and unified tactical thinking is the most important.
And the Zebras united under this tactical thinking must also take the initiative to fight for the opportunity to equalize the score as soon as possible.
Otherwise, as the game time continues to pass, the situation on the field will only further fall to Chelsea.
Allegri’s cheering action seems to have played a certain role, and the Juventus players on the field who are waiting for the game to restart also began to encourage each other.
But looking at Juventus who want to regroup, Li Ang is more determined to suppress them and not give them a chance to turn the tide!
Anyway, he has scored a goal and helped the team to establish a leading advantage first. Li Ang has nothing to worry about. After the game restarted, he devoted himself to the pressure defense of Juventus’ midfield!
This time he targeted more than just Pogba. The target of his sweeping pressure directly became Juventus’s midfield trio.
After adjusting the tactics to give priority to offense, Juventus directly changed the formation to 433, and Cuadrado and Dybala were further pushed to the front line.
Pogba returned to the middle of the midfield to form a double central midfielder with Marchisio, while Khedira stayed behind.
This change of formation is very bold. It seems to be inconsistent with Allegri’s previous conservative tactical training, but in fact it is in line with his decisive and stubborn personality.
My uncle will not hesitate when it is time to go all in. At the critical moment, his tactical decision is braver than 99% of the coaches in the current football world.
But unfortunately, he met Li Ang, who is in a good defensive state today, especially Li Ang specifically targeted his midfield players to make trouble!
Previously, Pogba’s performance was limited, and Juventus could still rely on Marchisio’s ball possession in the backcourt and Dybala’s retreat to organize the attack.
But now both Pogba and Marchisio are targeted by Li Ang at the same time. Juventus’ midfield engine is not completely stopped, but it is also greatly disturbed.
Really expect Khedira to take on the responsibility of organization?
Juventus’ own fans think this plan is not very reliable.
When the midfield could not deliver the ball forward stably, Juventus’ forward line suddenly encountered the previous embarrassing problem.
It was difficult to receive the ball in the frontcourt, and Juventus’ two technical wingers had to retreat significantly to get the ball for advancement.
This way of organizing the offense was really inefficient and wasted the physical energy of the two wing attacking players, but Juventus had no other better solution.
If Pirlo was still there, his accurate long pass could solve Leon’s pressure problem very well.
Even if Leon chose to oppress his ball space, he could hand over the organization to Pogba, putting Leon in a dilemma.
Unfortunately, Juventus does not have an organization master like Pirlo now.
Khedira tried to send two long passes, but in the end his long passes failed to find his teammates more accurately, but were headed back to the midfield by Chelsea’s backcourt defenders.
In desperation, Allegri could only quickly adjust the tactics again, signaling Marchisio to retreat and let Khedira take the position of central midfielder again.
In this way, Juventus has a starting point for long passes in the backcourt, but the dual-core organization plan in the midfield and frontcourt is completely disrupted.
When Li Ang saw Marchisio retreating, he also showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Pogba wanted to cry when he saw Li Ang smiling.
When he thought that the main point of the midfield and frontcourt would become himself after Marchisio retreated, he wanted to cry even more.
Sure enough, after Juventus changed its formation again, Li Ang regarded Pogba as the main target of restriction and oppression.
This is not that he looks down on Brother Lian, but he is too familiar with Brother Lian and knows Brother Lian’s technical characteristics.
Brother Lian can certainly help Pogba share the pressure of holding the ball, but if he leaves the slower rhythm of Serie A, once he starts to make a mistake in the Champions League, his slow speed of chasing back will be infinitely magnified!
It can’t be said that Brother Lian is both bad and playful, it can only be said that his advantages and disadvantages are too obvious, so obvious that Li Ang can’t help but use his defects to “fish for law enforcement”.
Li Ang’s excessive targeting of Pogba and excessive disregard for Khedira also forced other Juventus players to temporarily regard Khedira as an organizing point.
After getting a lot of ball rights, although my brother was a little nervous, he immediately had a strong confidence in saving the team from the bottom of his heart!
It was impossible for him to honestly occupy the position and organize the ball rights. After a while, he made the old mistake and began to frequently take the ball forward.
Allegri’s eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously felt something was wrong.
But when he saw that Juventus’s frontcourt offensive players did get more offensive ball rights after Khedira frequently moved forward, he could only hesitate and suppress his uneasiness.
Juventus finally slowly opened up the situation on the offensive end, but Chelsea’s backcourt players also turned their attention to the active Khedira at this moment.
His forward movement was too big, and his ball-holding skills were not top-notch, plus his running speed was relatively slow, this was simply a piece of meat delivered to his door…
The desire to intercept was blooming in Xiao Ma’s eyes and he began to move, but then he received the hand gesture message from Li Ang:
“Wait a minute, it’s not time yet!”
Li Ang is quite patient now.
Lian Ge’s forward attack has just begun, and if he intercepts and defends against him now, the vigilant Uncle Jon will definitely stop his suicidal behavior.
So don’t be anxious, you have to wait a little longer, until Lian Ge brings the other teammates in Juventus’ midfield and backcourt to press forward together, that’s the real good time to counterattack Juventus~
Matic actually thinks Li Ang is a little too cautious at this moment, but he has no opinion on the tactical gestures made by Li Ang, and he still squats and defends with Kroos honestly.
Li Ang is not in a hurry to return to defense, and still stares at Pogba in the midfield area.
However, his pressure made Pogba, the core of Juventus, unable to play to his full potential, which was also a disguised way to help relieve the defensive pressure of his own defense line.
Khedira, who was almost not targeted by anyone, was becoming more and more confident, and he was going further and further on the road of advancing, and he didn’t want to go back to complete his defensive work at all.
Under his leadership, other Juventus midfielders and backcourt players really had different ideas on the offensive end and began to move!
Evra and Lichtsteiner, two veteran wingers, also made more and more forward advances.
Admittedly, this is also part of Juventus’ offensive tactics. Modern football offense has become more and more inseparable from the participation of full-backs.
But their behavior at this moment has indeed laid a big mine for Juventus’s defense line.
A hint of excitement flashed in Li Ang’s eyes, and he was still waiting patiently until he saw Bonucci almost pressing into the midfield area to launch a long pass…
It’s time!
Li Ang made a new tactical gesture to his teammates behind him.
Chelsea’s huge and cold tactical meat grinder finally came to life at this moment, and began to turn slowly with a ferocious roar, showing its sharp fangs to Juventus’ offensive players!
Brother Lian was still immersed in the happiness of being in control of the ball, but after dribbling forward again, he hesitated a little in passing the ball, and was directly poked away by Matic’s long legs!
Kroos, who responded to the forward run, immediately sent a long pass to Li Ang!
Chelsea’s counterattack this time was fast and concise. Allegri’s heart was beating fast. He subconsciously roared and shouted to signal the Juventus players in the front court to return to defense quickly!
But how can the players’ speed of chasing back be faster than a purposeful and fast pass?
At this moment, Li Ang once again turned into a pillar center forward, suppressing Marchisio with his back, steadily taking possession of the ball, and then half-turning to pass the ball to the wing!
De Bruyne, who had already shaken off Evra’s excessive forward pressure on the wing and began to accelerate, soon received the precise pass from Li Ang.
He stopped and dribbled, not giving Evra the opportunity to further close the distance between him and him, and continued to hold the ball and rush on the wing!
Compared with Chelsea, who played a quick counterattack at this moment, Juventus’s wing defense showed the old age of the players, and the improvement of the system could not cover up the decline of the two full-backs in the speed of chasing back.
De Bruyne easily dribbled the ball to the bottom, and then sent a seemingly unconventional large arc pass!
The football flew directly past the front point of Juventus’ penalty area, and also flew over the head of Suarez who was following up in the middle, and fell directly to the other side of Juventus!
Hazard, who was following up, dribbled the ball inwards after perfectly unloading the ball, and almost passed Lichtsteiner who had just returned to defense in one step!
Hazard enjoyed the pleasure of this kind of passing very much. In many cases, he loved this kind of showmanship even more than scoring goals and assists.
However, Li Ang’s shouting still quickly pulled him back to the real world. After resisting the urge to pass Bonucci further, Hazard knocked the ball horizontally to the top of the arc of Juventus’ penalty area.
Li Ang got the ball first, but then he faked a shot and dribbled it like he had eyes behind his head, and dodged Marchisio who was pressing from behind him!
Seeing this, Bonucci boldly let go of his defense zone and pressed forward to try to poke the football under Li Ang’s feet.
But Li Ang seemed to have anticipated that he would make such a reckless kick. He pulled the ball back half a step, and then calmly lifted the ball behind him.
All these operations were completed in an instant. Li Ang’s dribbling was smooth and silky, almost fooling two important defenders in Juventus’ backcourt!
At this moment, Hazard, who had almost no one to defend, had only one choice left.
He concentrated and held his breath, and almost without hesitation, he quickly swung his leg and shot!
Buffon’s first reaction and blocking choice were timely enough, but Bonucci dug a big hole, and Hazard was too close to the goal!
The football finally almost brushed Buffon’s fingertips and went into the bottom of the near corner of Juventus’ goal!
When the snow-white net flower rippled again, Mourinho, who had waited patiently for another 20 minutes, jumped up on the sidelines, waving his fists passionately and running along the sideline!
Allegri sat on the bench and covered his face with his hands. There were really no problems with his tactical arrangements today, but there were too many internal ghosts in the team. After suppressing one, another one popped up. Who can withstand this!
The corner flag area near Juventus’ half once again became the place where the entire Chelsea team celebrated!
Li Ang hugged Hazard tightly, patted his head and praised him loudly, “Well done!”
Amid the passionate cheers of tens of thousands of fans, most of the Chelsea players on the field could no longer suppress the excitement and excitement in their hearts!
They just felt pure happiness!
As for the significance of this goal, they may not realize how precious it is at this moment.
Li Ang suddenly felt relieved. He understood that he had given everything for Chelsea.
Three years ago, when he first came here, he faced a dream that was unwilling to be shattered and a group of old boys who still wanted to continue chasing their dreams.
Now, he has left a legendary story in this club.
A blue fairy tale, a blue giant!
