Chapter 199: The FIFA virus has a big impact, and Li Ang is strong! [Ask the bigwigs to subscribe! ] 】
Just when European countries are in full swing for the final sprint of the world preliminaries.
In the Cobham training base, Leon also led a group of young players who were watching him with gold stars in his eyes to complete the daily training.
Over the past two seasons, Jose Mourinho has promoted the Castilla gang at Real Madrid and has successfully produced a number of young Spanish talents.
At present, under the hype of the outside British media, there are many young players in the Chelsea team who have also received more attention.
For example, young talents like Van Kingkel, Ake, Kalas and Bertrand.
But what is completely different from external reports is that Mourinho does not have much joy in his heart at the moment, but has a lot of heavy sense of responsibility.
Yes, when he was at Real Madrid, he brought out a lot of young talent, including Real Madrid's own academy players, as well as talented young players he bought.
If you look at the results, he has done a great job and can be very proud.
But it is precisely because of the experience of patiently cultivating and channeling the psychology of young players in those two years.
So for Mourinho, he must be very cautious about Chelsea's youngsters.
There are many unknown forks in the road to talent, and not all young players can be like Leon, so that he can completely feel free to go out on loan.
If these youngsters come out on top, then even if they don't stay at Chelsea, Mourinho will be happy with the success of these young players.
Taking a step back, Chelsea can at least end up earning a significant transfer fee, so why not?
But what I am most afraid of is the situation of injuries and lack of games, and finally injured Zhongyong.
So it's not just Mourinho himself, but also Chelsea's coaching staff and the head of youth development.
Now they are all making as detailed and comprehensive training plans as possible for the future of these young lads.
'Ake and Callas went out on loan in the winter window, we already have enough players in the two wing-backs to play too much this season.
Young defenders still need more game grinding and mistakes to learn and grow.
Don't be reluctant to let them go, if you only put them out for one season, they will feel awkward with their new team-mates and will not be able to gain the trust of the new coach......"
After making arrangements for Ake and Callas, Mourinho focused on the detailed medical report of Van Ginkel.
'Needless to say, we all know his talent, but the most problematic thing right now is his physical condition that tends to be too injured.
Gaining weight appropriately and then slowly adapting to the pace of the Premier League game are very important and are the key advice given by the team doctor.
I won't be playing against lower league opponents for the time being, and I'll try to give him some opportunities to play in the second half of the Premier League and domestic cup fixtures. ”
"What about Ryan? He's not too young anymore, do we have to arrange for him to continue on loan? ”
Faced with his assistant Holland's question, Mourinho shook his head with a smile.
"No, Ryan is not on loan, we need to play in four lines this season, and Ashley's form has been up and down, so in the next games, Ryan will not have fewer opportunities to play, and he will be an important offensive and defensive link on our left side."
Hearing Mourinho say this, everyone in the conference room immediately understood that Bertrand was likely to be corrected by Mourinho this season.
If he's competitive enough, Chelsea's starting left-back should be slowly changing from Ashley Cole to him.
After successively making arrangements for more youth players in the team, Mourinho asked about the situation of several injured players in the current team.
Mourinho was relieved when he learned that Mikel and Cesar Azpilicueta are both recovering quite well so far.
Now there are four people in the team who can play in the back, such as Ramirez, Lampard, Essien and Nemanja Matic, so Mikel's temporary absence of Mourinho is acceptable.
But with only one Branislav Ivanovic hard top at right-back, Cesar Azpilicueta's recovery will be of interest to Mourinha.
As it turns out, Mourinho's concerns and concerns are not unfounded.
It was just two days after the Chelsea coaches had the meeting.
Branislav Ivanovic retired at half-time due to a slight sprained ankle in the World Preliminary Tournament and returned to London early for further examination and physical rehabilitation.
The presence of Essien and the timely return of Cesar Azpilicueta will be particularly important at this point.
But a few days later, when the Chelsea players left the national team to report to the training base, the sad look on Mourinho's face became more and more intense.
Perhaps the only good news for Chelsea at the moment is that the rest of the squad that participated in the World Qualifiers, with the exception of Branislav Ivanovic, have not suffered any more injuries.
However, a group of players who have consumed a lot of energy and look very unoptimistic at the moment have indeed added a lot of problems to Mourinho.
Firstly, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, Gary Cahill and Ibrahimovic have all played two World Cup qualifiers in the last 10 days of international break, with little rest.
So in the next round of the contest with Everton, these four players are basically unable to start.
At left-back and midfield, Ashley Cole has Bertrand on top and Frank Lampard has Essien on top.
David Luiz Gatri's centre-back combination is worthy of Mourinho's trust.
It is in the position of center forward, Ibrahimovic rests for a round, and if he doesn't use Torres, Mourinho can only use Lukaku.
Seeing that there are only a few days left before the date of the Premier League's restart, Mourinho also quickly made starting arrangements according to the players' respective conditions.
On the afternoon of 14 September, the Chelsea squad travelled to Goodison Park to take on Everton, who are currently unbeaten in the Premier League in the new season.
Everton have drawn their first three Premier League fixtures.
At the moment, Everton, without David Moyes and midfield core Marouane Fellaini, appear to be stuck in a tactical quagmire.
However, Everton's hierarchy and fans still have a lot of confidence in coach Martinez, who can lead Wigan Athletic to beat Manchester City to win the FA Cup last season.
Although they didn't win a single game in the first three rounds, they didn't lose anyway, and in this round against Chelsea, Everton fans have lower psychological expectations.
As long as they don't lose to Chelsea and can break Chelsea's winning streak in the new season, then Everton fans are naturally willing to give Martinez more patience and support.
Of course, they don't know now that the seemingly menacing Chelsea are not sure of winning in their own hearts.
The FIFA virus has taken a toll on Chelsea's veterans, and Mourinho has had to rotate his squad.
However, what he didn't expect was that even in the face of Chelsea's rotation lineup, Martinez was still very cautious in laying out a set of 4231 starting formation.
Not to mention the main defensive force, in the position of double midfield, Martinez also unreservedly sent Barry and McCarthy, a pair of old and young who have excellent defense.
If in the previous league rounds, Chelsea faced teams who could not withstand the impact in the middle of the midfield, then Everton's midfield was completely different.
The younger McCarthy and Barkley of Barriga Sr. have excellent defensive experience and confrontation ability, and the two young midfielders are also very talented.
It was a really difficult game for Chelsea, who were almost in the middle of the pack.
And after the start of the game, Everton did rely on the heavy force hoarded in the middle of the midfield to withstand the impact of Chelsea to grab the start.
Leon's state is not much different from usual.
After snatching and controlling the rhythm of the midfield at the beginning, Li Ang also quickly commanded his teammates to intersperse the runs, and he distributed the proportion of the attacking direction.
However, Hazard's breakthrough performance today was a bit of a fatigue.
So Leon also had to try more to give the ball to De Bruyne, or Bertrand, who was frequently inserted on the left flank.
Chelsea, who have taken control of the attack, have been unable to open gaps in attack for a long time, and today there is no Ibrahimovic in the middle of the retreat.
So for Everton, as long as they play normally, they will definitely be able to find good opportunities on the counter-attack.
After all, Chelsea as a whole is still looking for attacking opportunities in the front, so in the middle and back, there will be a lot of gaps in Chelsea's wings and rib areas.
Barry definitely has the vision and the ability to launch a long counterattack at the back.
After all, it is a powerful midfielder who can also get a main position in Manchester City and win the Premier League title.
McCarthy's immaturity in this regard is not a problem at all, he just needs to help Barry share enough defensive pressure.
Barry, who had the strength to launch accurate long balls on the counter-attack, quickly made Chelsea feel his threat.
In the thirteenth minute of the first half, after personally cutting off Hazard's dribble breakthrough, Barry only made a slight step adjustment and sent a long slash across the entire midfield!
Everton's left wing-back Naismith is at high speed into the rib area of Chelsea's right half!
Ramirez, who was pressing forward with the team as a whole near the halfway line, couldn't interfere with Naismith's forward ball at the moment.
Fortunately, David Luiz did not retreat this time, but was very bold and directly attacked and shoveled!
The Brazilian centre-back's aggressive attacking defences can sometimes be his fatal flaw.
But at this moment, he is undoubtedly the hero of the Chelsea backline!
Terry and Essien, who was in position, passionately pulled David Luiz up from the turf and high-fived him for a hug.
Although the referee on duty gave Everton a free-kick in front of the Chelsea penalty area.
But for the Chelsea players, the price is well worth it.
I didn't let Naismith and Jelavic, who had just been inserted into the Chelsea box, shoot with their feet.
At this time, Li Ang's face was a little solemn and shook his head slightly.
And with a similar expression to him, there is Mourinho standing on the sidelines holding his hands.
Jose Mourinho's decision to press forward from the start was a tactical set-up that was perfectly fine.
The problem was that after pressing Everton through the halfway line, Chelsea were just putting in a scoreless performance.
Then a series of problems will naturally ensue when the opponent counterattacks in the future.
Everton's counter-attacking attempts were indeed defused by David Luiz's excellent defence.
But what about next time?
After Everton's steady stream of threatening counter-attacks, can Chelsea be able to guarantee that there will be no problems with their defence every time?
As soon as he thought of this, Mourinho subconsciously looked at Leon on the field.
But after just thinking about it for a few seconds, Mu Shuai still gave up the idea of letting Li Ang drag it out.
Let the current Leon be a full-time defender, and he can even do it better than Ramirez and Essien.
But that would be too much of a waste of Leon's current offensive ability.
"What the hell is the FIFA virus..."
Mu Shuai, who scratched his head and didn't think about how to break the game for a while, could only let Li Ang run more at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, coupled with the absolute trust in Li Ang, Mu Shuai has no choice but to suffer more for Li Ang at this time.
It's not a problem for Leon, whether it's defending or attacking, as long as the team needs his focus, he has no problem doing more work.
So in the rest of the first half, I watched Li Ang finish the offense and defense, and perform at both ends of the game as a father and a mother.
Not Chelsea fans can only say the last thing:
Tears!
It was also with Leon's relentless midfield sweep that Everton's repeated counter-attacks did not really threaten Chelsea's goal in the end.
Unfortunately, Chelsea are still in the middle of the pitch with nothing.
De Bruyne, who has played two World Qualifiers, and Hazard, who has only played one World Qualifier, are in similar form.
The play on both sides of them is average, so most of Leon's ball distribution can only be lost.
Not to mention the lack of offensive feedback, the key is that there is a Lukaku who is at the front and can't run in the right position!
Normal off-the-ball movement and finding gaps, Lukaku did a good job.
But even when he started before the shot, he was either fast or slow, and Li Ang could only sigh helplessly in his heart.
Leon believes that if Chelsea adjust their tactical thinking immediately, they will not play so many complicated combinations of wings and centres and penetrations in the middle.
Just play counter-attack, just let Lukaku have enough space to rush, then he will definitely perform better.
But Chelsea are not such a team, and this style of play is at best trying to qualify for Europe, let alone the title.
So Chelsea can't change, and neither can Lukaku's habit of playing in the middle.
On the offensive end, Mourinho can only find other ways to change.
However, at half-time, Mourinho glanced around and looked at Oscar, Mourinho had some emotion, but in the end he shook his head.
This guy has good ability, but on the one hand, it conflicts with the current position of Li Ang.
On the other hand, his ability is not yet outstanding enough to forcibly change the stalemate.
After a turn, Mourinho finally withdrew Lukaku from the central striker position.
Torres went straight on the pitch at the start of the second half and went up the pitch to the front.
Even if Torres can't score under the markers of the Everton backline, he can at least withdraw to do the fulcrum.
Lukaku was not directly substituted, but Hazard, who played really hard to describe today.
Not to mention, Hazard had a good chance to shoot the ball straight into the stands.
Lukakula has at least a strong impact behind the side.
In contrast, Mourinho felt that keeping Lukakula on the pitch could have a bigger attacking effect.
Of course, Hazard also knew his poor performance today, so he was very obedient to show that he understood the manager's arrangement.
After the change, Chelsea finally opened the gap on the left flank.
Lukaku, this kid has space, he has the ball to rush up, that's really useful!
And Li Ang, who has gained more tactical freedom from Mu Shuai, is also more bold at this moment to press forward near Everton's penalty area!
Although it is said that up to now, Leon's archery ability value has just passed 74.
But he has now crossed the 85 threshold with a long-range shot and an 87 header, giving him plenty of room to play inside and outside the Everton penalty area.
And after Leon further preceded the position, the defenders in the middle of Everton and in the penalty area also couldn't help but get nervous!
After all, in the last round of the Premier League, Leon only scored a brace against Aston Villa.
A blast to break the deadlock and a header to score made all the current Premier League teams dare not underestimate Leon's back.
However, when these Everton defenders have made a closer mark on Leon, Lukaku on the left has been given more space to perform.
In the 64th minute of the second half, after Leon received Torres's header with his back, he did not rush forward or split the ball immediately.
He pulled himself wide to the right and first motioned for De Bruyne to go down, but then he played the ball back to Essien who had cut in the middle.
The advance cross given by Leon and the plug-in run of Essien are quite tacit.
Essien received the ball and pretended to shoot from distance, and only after the Everton backfield was in disarray did he shove the ball towards Bertrand, who was actively playing on the left flank, before Barry's interception!
Almost at the same time, Lukaku, who cut inside, and Torres, who returned to the Everton penalty area, both raised their arms and started to rush forward!
Bertrand made a slight observation and directly gave a slightly spinning big arc cross!
Distin subconsciously rushed to Lukaku, Chelsea's tallest-looking and strongest attacking player in the Everton penalty area.
Jagielka, on the other hand, realized that something was wrong.
But as soon as he wanted to put down Torres and run to Leon, who had adjusted his pace and jumped at the back of the penalty area, he was stuck in a sideways position by the experienced Torres!
Before the foul language could burst out, Jagielka saw that Leon had already beaten his own left-back Baynes to complete the head-shaking attack!
"Oh, what a great opportunity! Lukaku let it pass, Bertrand's bottom! He's making adjustments... It's crossed! At the back of the penalty area at Everton! Ang Lee——!!! ”
When Zhan Jun's high-pitched voice resounded in the ears of every Chinese fan who watched the live broadcast of the Premier League, there were not a few fans who roared excitedly and angrily together!
Li Ang's head-shaking attack is full of power!
After all, Baines, who is only 1.7 meters tall, did not put too much pressure on him in the battle for the top.
Veteran American goalkeeper Howard is full of experience, but his reflexes have diminished with age.
In the face of this close-range header, Howard didn't even make a save!
The only thing he could do was turn his head and watch the ball graze the inside of the post and the side-netting, before finally crossing the line and falling undisputedly on the turf inside the Everton goal!
The stalemate, which lasted for almost sixty-five minutes, was ruthlessly broken by Li Ang at this moment!
Jose Mourinho was also completely excited, even more excited than when Chelsea won the clean sheet at Old Trafford before!
He rushed out of the coach's seat, almost identical to Leon, and after sprinting for some distance, he jumped up and shook his fist in celebration!
Of course, Mu Shuai must not jump as high as Li Ang now, but the passion of the two is almost the same!
And just when the passion of the Chelsea players rushed to Leon in a swarm of passion.
Countless Chelsea fans also covered their heads and kept screaming in front of the TV!
They have been completely convinced by Leon's ability to fight tough battles!
It is said that hearing is false, seeing is believing.
And now the Premier League fans who have seen Li Ang's tough play with their own eyes have nothing to say.
The FIFA virus has had a big impact on Chelsea, but so what?
Li Ang's ability to make ends up is strong!
