Chapter Two Hundred and Seven: The Little Lion Comes to Teach the Young Players Another Class [Ask the Big Guys to Subscribe!] 】
"I knew it! I knew you'd see my move! ”
When he was hugged by the sturdy Lukaku, Leon also had to pat his arm, signaling that he should not be so excited.
"Fourth goal of the season?"
Leon asked Lukaku if he remembered correctly, the goal should have been Lukaku's fourth goal of the season.
"That's right, it's the third goal in the league, and I scored a goal in the last round of the Champions League!"
Lukaku raised his head with some pride.
He played as a substitute at Chelsea this season and his goalscoring efficiency was no slouch and he is something to be proud of, given that he is still a young man in his twenties.
At this moment, commentators from all over the world are also praising Lukaku's performance.
Add in the previous two international games, then Lukaku has scored in three consecutive games recently.
Romelu Lukaku's efficient performances for club and country, as well as his impressive performances since his transformation this season, are worth mentioning.
As for Li Ang's performance of getting another assist, commentators from all countries except China are now very calm.
Not a single commentator would still see Leon as a rising star now.
In the eighth round of the Premier League, Li Ang had already handed over five goals and six assists in the third-line battle.
You know, this is Leon's debut season in the Premier League.
What more needs to be said in the face of such a data?
Li Ang is already a well-deserved midfield superstar in active football.
So in the face of his outstanding performance, whether it is the commentators or the fans from all over the world, they are now accustomed to it.
Playing Cardiff City, it is normal and appropriate for Leon to play like this, which is also in line with his current tactics and prestige status in the core of the Blues.
'Don't slack off, in the first half we tried to score a second goal, we all ran up, put more pressure on the opposition, their wide defensive ability was average..."
After the celebration, Li Ang still routinely alerted his teammates.
At this moment, Medel, who was very close to Leon, raised his eyebrows, he obviously heard what Leon said.
But in the end, he didn't do anything drastic.
If it was still in Seville, then Medel might have to ask Leon for an explanation.
But in Cardiff...
Medel, who knew that he came here for a high salary, had to admit in his heart that what Leon said was right!
The defensive prowess of his new teammates is like shit.
But everyone is in it for the money, and it's not cold to play together for a season or two for the time being.
So Medel ended up pretending not to hear.
He made sure that he had done his best and that he was doing his part in the position he was holding.
Do you really want to play at a club where there is no chance of winning honours?
That's going to have to pay for more!
Cardiff City has a lot of players in the squad who think like Medel.
They certainly have the professionalism, but it's certainly unrealistic for them to do everything for Cardiff City.
After a mistake in the defensive strategy of sticking to the middle line, the wing could not withstand Chelsea's repeated onslaught.
Seeing this, Cardiff City's head coach McKay could only change the premise of the two full-backs to 4231, wanting to press out and attack.
Medel, who can attack and defend well, was also directly mentioned to the position of central midfielder by McKay.
In this way, Leon and Medel are completely out of place.
Leon was very happy about this.
It's not that I don't have to face Medel's defense anymore.
It's because I rejoice to see the gates of Cardiff City in the middle of the city wide open.
There is no need for him to play in person, Oscar can play seven in and seven out on the back line of Cardiff City.
In the thirty-seventh minute of the first half, Oscar received a push from Leon.
After bursting into the Cardiff City penalty area, Oscar decisively crossed and assisted De Bruyne to push the ball near the penalty spot in the Cardiff City penalty area!
Cardiff City's previous performance bubble was punctured before even half-time after meeting a real Premier League top team!
Even at the beginning of the second half, Cardiff City pulled a goal back with a long-range shot from midfield partner Muchi assisted by Medel.
But for Cardiff City's eventual defeat, the goal didn't help.
After Leon and Eden Hazard were substituted early, Chelsea scored from Oscar and substitute Ramirez.
In the end, Chelsea also won 4-1 at home to Cardiff City!
The gloom of public opinion that Chelsea were held to a draw by Norwich City in early October was swept away with the arrival of this big victory.
And some English media, who were quite critical of Mourinho's bold use of rotation before the game, also chose to shut up after the game.
The controversial rotation suddenly turned into a forward-looking decision for Mourinho.
Chelsea's main veterans, who have been better rested, will have more energy to face in the next Champions League clash with Schalke 04.
And this is definitely bad news for Schalke 04, who were forced to draw by Basel in the last round of the Champions League group stage.
On 21 October 2013, the Chelsea squad arrived in Germany a day ahead of schedule.
And the German media also "welcomed" Leon and Mourinho very warmly.
Over the past two seasons, Real Madrid have buried all the hopes of German football for the Champions League.
And the German media has a deep impression of the figure in the Real Madrid team, the first recommendation is naturally Mourinho, and the second choice is basically one of the two choices of Leon Ronaldo.
It is inappropriate to simply say that the impression of such a deep impression is disgusting.
This complex emotion contains more helplessness and pain of the German media.
Whether it is the double defeat of Bayern in the semifinals of the Champions League in 12, or the four defeats of Dortmund in the 12~13 season, Bayern won the championship in the final.
Jose Mourinho's tactical design, Cristiano Ronaldo's inability to limit and Leon's suppressive performance against the midfielders of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund...
The German media can still clearly say every detail.
And just when they were still thinking about continuing to seek revenge on Mu Real Madrid after the pain this summer, Mu Real Madrid disbanded itself.
This dramatic result has made many German media and fans feel very complicated.
Finally, I don't have to face that Champions League big demon team anymore.
But it's a pity that this big demon team has not been defeated by any foreign enemy, and they will not give their defeated generals a chance to challenge them again.
This psychology of both regret and happiness tormented the German media for months.
To this day, Mourinho and Leon are back in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Schalke 04 does not represent the current peak level of German football, and Leon and Jose Mourinho cannot represent the former Muslim Real Madrid.
But in this familiar area, the German media quickly boiled over when they were able to see the German team facing Mourinho and Leon again.
For Mourinho and Leon, coming to North Rhine-Westphalia again, there is also a lot of familiarity in their hearts.
It's that this sense of familiarity doesn't emerge because of Schalke 04.
Simply because Schalke 04's good neighbor, the hornet Dortmund, who caused a lot of trouble for Real Madrid's Champions League defense last season.
On the afternoon of the trip to Schalke, Leon could even see a few Hornets fans waving Dortmund scarves on both sides of the street, cheering on the buses they were sitting on.
Seeing this scene, Li Ang couldn't help laughing, and his mood was very weird.
Before coming to Germany, he didn't expect the Dortmund fans to cheer for him.
You know, when he was a guest at Westphalian last season, he was the most disgusting figure for Hornets fans.
It seems that the theory of "flexible friendship" among East Asia, China, Japan and South Korea is very applicable to the whole world~
The Chelsea players are not too nervous about the upcoming Schalke 04 clash with Schalke 04.
One is because Schalke 04's current performance in the Bundesliga is relatively average, and the other is because Schalke 04 was forced to draw by Basel when he attacked with all the main forces.
It's a dreaded comparison, as Chelsea almost capsized at Basel before that, also because of the use of a rotating line-up.
Later, Mu Shuai replaced Li Ang, and Basel was magically gone.
Of course, if you want to evaluate the strength, the Chelsea players still think that Schalke 04 will be better than Basel, but it is not a notch better.
So they don't have to worry about not being able to play Schalke 04.
It's certainly good to have that kind of confidence, and when he had a tactical meeting in his hotel, Mourinho was instilling in all his players the belief that they would win the game.
So the next day, when I made full preparations and went to Schalke, the whole Chelsea team was full of confidence and high morale!
But Li Ang, who is familiar with Mu Shuai, knows that there will definitely be a turning point.
Because don't look at Mu Shuai, when facing the media, he always looks like Lao Tzu is the best in the world.
But when preparing for the game and giving pre-match training, he was eager to make all his disciples raise a hundred vigilance to face the opponent.
And after the pre-match warm-up that night, Mourinho suddenly had a problem in the dressing room.
The young players in the Chelsea squad have been so confident that they have been blinded by all sorts of ridicule.
Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne and Bertrand, who had not had more experience with Mourinho before, were all confused.
Last night, Mu Shuai was very happy to praise them for their confidence and momentum, so before today's game, Mu Shuai suddenly turned his face again?
Based on Mourinho's usual presences on the training pitch and in the dressing room, all the young Chelsea players felt a little aggrieved, but they did not retaliate.
The vast majority of Chelsea's young players are not heeding the caution of Mourinho's taunting words.
But obviously, the idea in their hearts that they looked down on Schalke 04 also disappeared in an instant.
Li Ang and the Chelsea veterans, who are used to seeing this kind of scene, have a serious look on their faces, but they have already laughed in their hearts.
That's how they all came back in the first place.
To put it mildly, Mu Shuai's face is completely a dog, and he will change when he says it.
But the effect is also quite good.
Maybe for a while, the young players will feel aggrieved and can't understand Mourinho's intentions.
But this emotional awkwardness is far better than the regret and pain after suffering on the enemy.
Five minutes later, Schalke 04's players were inexplicably bearing the wrath of Chelsea's young players.
Mu Shuai PUA them, they don't know who to go to PUA, so naturally they can only find the players of Schalke 04 to practice hard!
Among them, Eden Hazard and De Bruyne are the heaviest!
The Belgian wings showed a strong desire to attack as soon as they came on today.
I don't know if it's the blessing of the Bundesliga.
Kevin De Bruyne, who has been more of a passing threat in the Premier League this season, seems to have turned into a maniac this game.
Even Leon didn't expect that De Bruyne, who is not very outstanding in small skills and dribbling, could still play so brilliantly in terms of passing.
Seeing that his two wings had suppressed Schalke 04 not long after the start of the game.
Leon is also happy to be idle, constantly distributing the ball to Hazard and De Bruyne.
With Ramires partnering him in central midfield today, Chelsea's interception in the middle is tougher than usual.
Lost the ball? Just grab it back!
Leon had already snatched the ball back twice in the opening 10 minutes of today's game and contributed a brilliant defensive block!
Boateng, who only moved from AC Milan to Schalke 04 this summer to play as a central striker.
At this time, he also had to withdraw to the midfield to help his own midfielders transfer the ball.
He was afraid that Li Ang would continue to steal so unscrupulously.
His little brother Maxmeyer and Draxler, who had just tried to take the middle lane but was severely taught a lesson by Leon, were about to have a psychological shadow.
Before the game, Leon, Ibrahimovic and Big Boateng hugged with high-fives and laughter.
As a result, when it came to the game, Li Ang took the lead in turning his face and not recognizing people, this time he was ruthless, looking at Da Boateng, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
Compared with previous seasons, Schalke 04's strength has not decreased much, but the experience of playing important games has decreased a lot.
The reason is the same as Chelsea.
After a group of young players in the midfield came out and replaced the original veterans, the experience and performance of this tough battle were naturally not as good as before.
This is one of the important reasons why Leon is more willing to consolidate his defense in the middle today.
Teach football newcomers or something, he likes it the most~
It doesn't matter if you are a so-called outstanding newcomer in La Liga, the Premier League or the Bundesliga, as long as you meet Leon, you will definitely be taught a lesson.
Clemens and Maxmeyer, the two young men, learned to be good after suffering a few losses.
One-on-one is not Leon's opponent, they just walk around, and the game is team-to-team, not solo between individuals.
It's normal for Li Ang to be able to pass for the time being, so it's good to have a flat mentality.
As a result, their little friend Draxler was not convinced, just like Kovacic at the beginning, Leng Touqing, just wanted to take the ball and do it with Leang!
In the fifteenth minute of the first half, it was because of Draxler's reckless heads-up that Leon easily stabbed through Schalke 04's midfield defense after breaking the ball on the right side of the midfield!
Pushed all the way to the heart of Schalke 04's defensive third, and then Leon distributed the ball to De Bruyne, who raised his hand on the right flank.
Schalke 04 defender Neustadt, who had been given twice by De Bruyne before, subconsciously took two steps back and stared at De Bruyne's next move.
As a result, he didn't expect that it was his retreat that allowed De Bruyne to calmly adjust his feet and send a big arc to Schalke 04 in the penalty area!
Ibrahimovic, who was actively running, saw an opportunity and had already shaken off Hevedes and rushed to the landing point of the ball.
However, Matip, who is also tall, is stuck in the position at the moment, so that Ibrahimovic has no way to fight for the top calmly.
"Zlatan!"
A familiar roar came to Eevee's ears.
It was also this roar that made Ibrahimovic change his mind about forcing the top to attack the goal without even thinking about it.
After tensing his waist and abdomen, Ibrahimovic resisted Matip's defensive interference, and swung De Bruyne's hanging pass into the penalty area, and went directly to the outside of the penalty area!
The ball jumped again after hitting the ground at the top of the arc of Schalke 04's penalty area.
And a blue figure wearing No. 10 immediately entered the eyes of all fans who paid attention to this game!
He stretched out his bow and arrows, and his whole body leaned slightly to the right, looking stretched.
The super core and flexibility allowed him to stabilize his body, and then he used his left calf to exert a force, and the tense instep of his left foot was slashed towards the football!
The moment the foot makes contact with the football, the huge force makes the football change the direction of travel again.
The barely spinning soccer ball whistled and flew straight to the top left corner of the Schalke 04 goal!
The 34-year-old German veteran goalkeeper Hildebrand's reaction was inevitably a little slower.
His saves seem to be in slow motion in the face of the speed of the football.
And the Schalke 04 fans at the scene did not see the flight trajectory of the football clearly.
A loud sound reached their ears first, vibrating their minds and bringing a very bad sense of tension to their brains.
Then it was the Schalke Stadium, and the almost crazy cheers of the 10,000 Chelsea fans swept the stadium!
The football, which had been turned into an afterimage, was quietly jumping into the goal of Schalke 04 at this moment!
And with Hildebrand's slightly embarrassed figure landed.
Tens of thousands of Schalke 04 fans at the scene couldn't help but look at the Chelsea player who had opened his arms and roared towards the corner flag area!
That's Chelsea's number 10.
That's Leon!
The rest of the Chelsea players were also quite excited to rush up!
Leon's spirits were in stark contrast to Draxler, who was looking at him in frustration at the moment.
And countless fans saw this scene, and the same thought burst out in their hearts:
The little lion is back to teach the young players!
