Leon was watching the Belgian national team that night without any problems.

So when he saw Lukaku shooting himself bald at the camera, he was immediately happy.

Earlier, Lukaku's image as a mallet was not good for Leon.

In the future, he and Chelsea can barely be regarded as a mutual pit, but it is really not authentic for him to pit the Inter brother.

It's purely a set of words, and it's completely different from the character that Li Ang likes.

But. After getting to know Pogba and getting to know him, Leon feels that he has grown again in this area.

Of course, he thinks that Pogba and Lukaku will be annoying in the future, but now these two guys are just little kids who want to be close to him and have a bad mind.

Because of the things that a person may do in the future and the three views that may go astray and deny him now, Leon feels that it is also inappropriate to do so.

If the things in his impression really happen in the future, then he will slowly alienate these two people in the future.

Now, he feels that he can influence the two of them more in his usual words and deeds, and help them fix the normal three views they should have.

It's unrealistic to completely change a person, but now in the same team, Lukaku likes to be close to him and listen to him.

Li Ang felt that he could still help this inferior guy who had a mess in his future career planning within his ability, and his personality might change in the end.

"I'm such a kind and good teammate~"

Li Ang is praising himself shamelessly.

As a result, Lukaku in the live broadcast camera quickly pulled the side and went crazy again, assisting De Bruyne to score a strong shot on the line of the penalty area in the first half of stoppage time!

The ball was played beautifully, and Lukaku's rushing up did make Croatia's full-backs helpless.

But Li Ang shook his head with a smile that he was still a little unaccustomed to after all.

"I'm really a professional winger now..."

※※※

On the afternoon of 17 October, the Chelsea first team players, who had completed their international matches, arrived at the Cobham training base for a detailed medical examination.

Lukaku, who scored two goals and one assist in two games in this World Preliminary Tournament, looks very good.

But Mu Shuai was not in a good mood at this time.

In particular, when I got the doctor's medical report and saw the suggestion that Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole would rest for the next league game.

Jose Mourinho and the Chelsea coaching staff couldn't stop sighing.

If the current coach with England is someone else, Mourinho may just scold.

But for the current coach of the British national team, Huo Taigong, Mourinho can only smile bitterly.

It's not easy to bring the British national team now, the talent is not in stock, and the break is very serious.

If there are enough young players available in the new generation, Huo Taigong will not catch Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole...

took the initiative to explain a few words to Huo Taigong in his heart, and Mourinho also had to face the reality.

If Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole are rested, then the next round of the league game between Chelsea and Cardiff City will have to start Bertrand and Nemanja Matic.

When Matic's name was circled, Mourinho suddenly remembered that in last week's international calendar, Branislav Ivanovic also played two games in a row.

So he simply circled Azpilicueta's name.

Now it's okay, and the few veterans in the team who have just finished playing the national team will be given a holiday.

John Terry should have been on vacation, as he is still at the top of the game.

His partnership with Rio Ferdinand will also be able to continue to protect the England national team.

It's a pity that after the previous dispute with Ferdinand Jr., in September this year, Terry officially announced his withdrawal from the England national team.

So now Terry, like Leon, when others are playing for the national team, they are resting for physiotherapy or training.

For Mourinho, John Terry's fitness and fitness situation are one of the rare pieces of good news at the moment.

Counting that there are Cech in the backfield, Terry and Leang, who can retreat at any time, Mourinho's heart is also immediately relaxed.

Ibrahimovic will definitely have to rest with him, but Lukaku played so well in the World Preliminary Tournament this time and the feeling of scoring looks very good.

It's just a game for Cardiff City in the next round, and using Lukaku as the main attacker seems to be a trick...

When Mourinho thought of this, he also had a plan in his heart.

In the official training session that began the next morning, Lukaku was pleasantly surprised to put on the training vest that represented the main team.

And Mourinho is also very much in line with his appetite, allowing him to play freely in the offensive end, and not forcing him to constantly fight with defenders in the penalty area.

This tactical freedom surprised the rest of the Chelsea players.

But on second thought, their opponents in the next round are just League promoted Makardiff City.

When Ibrahimovic was resting, it made sense to let Lukaku play the last game.

After all, if Lukaku can really play his performance in the national team, it will be easy to play Cardiff City.

The full training is on this day.

On the morning of 19 October, the Chelsea squad flew to Cardiff City in Wales.

As a promoted horse this season, Cardiff City's performance so far has exceeded the expectations of the media and a large number of Premier League fans.

With two wins, three draws and two defeats in the first seven league games, they are currently in twelfth place in the Premier League standings.

This is enough to make the players of Cardiff City proud.

So even if they are going to face Chelsea, the current top team in the Premier League, Cardiff City, who have the advantage of being at home, have high morale.

So when the Chelsea players played, Leon, who was the most famous in the starting lineup today, naturally received a cordial "greeting" from the Cardiff City fans.

For this familiar boo, Li Ang did not feel uncomfortable in his heart.

In the live broadcast camera, he just smiled and raised his eyebrows, looking still very calm and confident.

While the players from both teams lined up through the pre-match ceremony, Sky Sports commentators were also praising Leon's performance throughout September.

Although on October 14, the FA officially announced that the best player in the Premier League for September is Arsenal's No. 7 Edinson Cavani.

Edinson Cavani scored four goals and provided an assist in four Premier League games in September and helped Arsenal to four consecutive league wins.

But Leon also helped Chelsea win all three of their Premier League games in September, and his stats were also impressive, with two goals and two assists.

So when it comes to contributing to the team's victory and individual performance, Leon is actually no weaker than Cavani.

However, strikers always have to take advantage of the number of goals scored in this kind of selection, and Cavani is also a new signing like Leon, so the meaning of the Premier League's cake is obvious.

But today's Sky Sports commentator's affection for Leon is palpable.

Even though Leon didn't gain any personal data in the last round of the league against Norwich, the commentator is still very optimistic about Leon's performance in today's game.

And Cardiff City's young marshal Marky Mackay is also quite jealous of Leon.

Cardiff City players and fans alike can be confident, but McKay has always kept his head above water.

In order to limit Li Ang's play, he even lined up a formation of three midfielders today.

Unlike the victory that the fans advertised in front of the media before the game, the young coach still looks down-to-earth, and it is clear that he is rushing to Baoping.

Mourinho still admires this kind of young but down-to-earth coach.

But that doesn't stop him from playing hard today, and he's going to take away the three points at Cardiff City's home stadium!

Chelsea, who had started in a four-three-three, three-three, formation, pressed aggressively from the start of the game, looking for attacking opportunities and holes in Cardiff's defence.

Leon, who started as a central midfielder with Oscar today, still controls the team's attacking possession.

It is up to him to decide how to choose the direction of attack, which way to be the main attacker, and which attacker gets more balls.

In the face of Cardiff City's swing back bus, Leon also decisively asked Oscar to cooperate with him to pull Cardiff City's central defense, and to cover the attack for his teammates on both wings.

He didn't care much if he wanted to be the main attacker or not.

Seeing this, Oscar could only follow Leon's rhythm, watching with greed as Hazard and De Bruyne continued to make offensive attempts on both sides.

The Brazilian attacking player didn't know that Leon was completely thinking about him at this time.

Most of the players in the Cardiff City team now, Leon is not impressed.

But in Cardiff's midfield, there is a short midfielder who is also an old acquaintance of Leon.

Chilean bull Gary Medel.

Yes, Cardiff City snatched Medel from Sevilla this summer for a club-breaking transfer fee of £11 million.

So Leon met again today with an old rival from La Liga.

For Medel's strength, Leon is quite recognized.

Don't look at last season, he seemed to beat Medel in the matchup.

At that time, he also deliberately provoked Medel, so that the opponent was burdened with a yellow card in advance and was replaced early.

In the Premier League, a league that encourages physical confrontation between players, Medel is not so easy to get a card.

Leon is not afraid of entanglement with Medel, but if Oscar is allowed to control the offensive ball at this moment, then this young man may be targeted by Medel.

So it's more secure to play on the wing.

Compared to Cardiff City's heavy squad and midfield guarded by a strong man, their wide players look mediocre.

And it turned out to be true, at least in terms of one-on-one marking, whether it was Cardiff City's right midfielder Whittingham or their right-back Catlin.

Both were quickly given a clear eye by Hazard's technique.

Hazard, who has already scored two goals and provided three assists in the Premier League, is full of confidence.

As long as it wasn't for his own form problems, basically no Premier League right wing-back would dare to guarantee that he could limit his performance.

Cardiff City's right-back Katrin, who was brought in from Ligue 1 this summer, is not particularly familiar with the rhythm of the Premier League, but is still a heavy full-back!

Leon had already been paying attention to the strong-looking, even slightly bloated black defender when he came on the pitch.

Cardiff City might have worked better if he played at centre-back, but it was a bit cumbersome at wing-back.

Hazard just likes this kind of reflexes and a slower opponent.

The Catlin is strong and looks like he has a strong head-on interception.

But Hazard doesn't have the slightest static entanglement with Catlin at all, and after rushing up, it is often a space to shake off a breakthrough by changing direction.

After being forced a few times, Catlin was a little overwhelmed, and had no choice but to call his teammates to help with the defense.

What Leon is waiting for is such an opportunity!

After seeing Cardiff City's midfield defence have to lean towards their right.

Leon directly completed the swap with Oscar, and asked Oscar to contain Medel.

He himself came behind Hazard to respond.

Eden Hazard, who has already played with a feeling, is very daring to make a move at this moment.

Even if Cardiff City uses a two-man defensive mode, he is not afraid at all, and he can often pick the ball out.

Leon was still very patient to defend on Hazard's flank.

It looks like the same as before, and there is not much desire to want to cut the ball forward.

Cardiff City was forced to expand their defensive line and began to actively press Hazard and other Chelsea attacking players.

If there is a grab, of course, there will be uneven or even loopholes in your own defense line.

As the first half played into the 25th minute, Hazard's individual performance was still not over.

His flick dribbling and dribbling performances drew an exclamation from Cardiff fans at the Cardiff City Stadium.

But after another past Whittingham, Hazard did not continue to dive into Cardiff's half, as he had done on previous occasions, looking for opportunities to cut inside or cross underneath.

Because Leon decisively raised his hand to ask for the ball!

And Hazard didn't hesitate much, after passing Whittingham, he knocked the football to Leon who suddenly stepped forward!

Oscar and De Bruyne on the right also followed Leon almost at the same time.

But at this moment, Leon did not transfer the ball to the two who had already caught the attention of most of the Cardiff City defenders.

He squeezed through the running and sent a hidden and smooth overhead straight stopper!

Lukaku, who had been doing horizontal pulling and running before, also suddenly pulled the side and rushed forward!

The moment Leon's overhead pass landed on the right side of the Cardiff City penalty area, Lukaku also accelerated to overtake Cardiff City's left central defender Turner, who had been marking him!

Taking a step back with his right foot to cut in, Lukaku aimed at the near corner of the Cardiff City goal and directly came with a smooth shot in the penalty area!

Cardiff City goalkeeper Marshall was betting on the right direction for Romelu Lukaku's shot.

But his goal-line skills were still a step behind, and in the end, he didn't complete the god-turning save before the football crossed the line!

The soccer ball almost rubbed the turf and hit the net head-on, lifting the white net high!

As thousands of Chelsea fans cheered.

Leon looked at Lukaku, who was pointing at him and rushing towards him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face!

With this assist, he has now scored five goals and six assists in Chelsea's third-tier competition!

Ambition grows!

Leon also made up his mind at this moment!

By the end of the season, he will have to reach the double ten!
