Leon was excited, which was completely understandable.

As a midfielder, he scored his first career hat-trick against rivals Manchester City.

His three goals can be said to have helped Chelsea defeat Manchester City head-on, full of gold, and he has a reason to be excited.

And at this moment, Hazard is not far behind, happily hugging Leon to celebrate together, with a smile on his face!

He also got two assists in this game, so can he not be happy?

Just now, he just made a simple ball to Li Ang, but he didn't expect Li Ang to break into Longtan alone and break the goal with another kick!

You have to ask Hazard before this game.

Does he want to shine and send a pass to help his teammates score, or do he want to be like Busquets, who once gave Messi a goal and watched Messi score a goal?

He would definitely choose the former.

But making such a choice does not prevent him from saying in his heart that it is really fragrant!

The assist I picked up is TMD incense!

With the addition of his two assists in this game, his six assists equalled the number of assists in the team of De Bruyne and Leon.

This has greatly boosted Hazard's fighting spirit.

It's not that it's anything to compare, but as the assist leader of the Chelsea team last season, Hazard still has his own pride in this regard.

Maybe he'll end up losing out to Kevin De Bruyne and Leon in terms of assists, but at least he tried and managed to go toe-to-toe with those two team-mates.

Such healthy competition will undoubtedly promote the overall growth of the three of them.

The three of them knew this to each other.

So after De Bruyne celebrated with his teammates, he also smiled at Hazard and nodded in understanding.

After all, passing assists are also De Bruyne's technical strengths, and his competitive spirit has never been weak, so he will naturally take the initiative to participate in the assist competition with his teammates!

In contrast, Leon's sense of competition in this regard is much more shallow.

In other words, he did not regard the current Hazard and De Bruyne as his opponents.

His ambitions were even greater.

He has made two players who have played super statistics in previous seasons of the British Super League as the objects he wants to compete with and surpass!

That's Frank Lampard in 09-10 and Thierry Henry in 02-03!

The former played 22 goals and 14 assists in the Premier League in the 09-10 season, and the latter played a more exaggerated 24+20 super data in the 02-03 season!

You know, this is a single league statistic.

The fact that he can play double 20 plus in a single league can only show that this player's dominance is full!

After coming to the Premier League, Leon set himself the goal of reaching a double 20 in a single season.

But now he finds himself with a much broader space for data growth, and more potential possibilities that he didn't even know he had!

Kicked so far, in the 9th round of the Premier League, after scoring this hat trick.

Li Ang found that his statistics had come to the point of 7 goals and 6 assists in the Premier League and 9 goals and 6 assists in third-tier matches!

Admittedly, his scoring power is not as strong as the stats suggest.

Maybe in the back of the game, if he doesn't feel right when he shoots, he can fall into a goal drought of three or four, or even five or six games.

A hat-trick is unlikely to be a one-size-fits-all performance.

But Leon still sees in himself the hope of surpassing the data of the two Premier League predecessors!

It is precisely because the data seems insurmountable that the challenge is even more interesting.

At this moment, Li Ang, who completed the third celebration of the whole game with his teammates, is on fire!

He was not satisfied, he wanted to climb to a higher peak, he wanted to stand in the position where the two predecessors had stood, to enjoy the unique scenery.

So after the game restarted again, Leon's offensive desire did not weaken in the slightest.

He was like a hungry attacking beast, still looking for space between the scarred City defenders to insert or pass the ball.

In the 77th minute of the second half, Leon's bold straight plug successfully helped Lukaku, who came on as substitute Ibrahimovic, get a half-single chance!

But this time, Lukaku, who was heavily defended by Vincent Kompany, did not get the slightest chance to convert and hit the goal with his feet.

In front of the Manchester City penalty area, Leang, who saw Lukaku kick the football with his right foot at the end, immediately put a pain mask on his face.

"Nimama! In the future, this kid must train my right foot hard, practice hard! ”

Lukaku, who knew that he didn't shoot well, also shrunk his neck and stretched out a slightly apologetic thumbs up to Leang.

However, the rest of the Chelsea players and the boss don't care about Lukaku's wasted chances.

After all, it's not a score of 1:0 or 2:1, now they are all leading Manchester City 3:0, Lukaku's recent performance is really good, let him be happy once happy~

It was a great chance to attack and Chelsea's last threat of the game.

Leon and Eden Hazard were substituted early by Jose Mourinho in the final 10 minutes.

After enjoying the cheers and applause that the Chelsea fans gave to themselves individually.

Li Ang and his teammates were also laughing on the bench, waiting for the whistle to blow at the end of the game!

It wasn't until the whistle blew that Guardiola finally faded from his serious and unusual expression.

After a half-cordial and half-helpless greeting and hugging Mourinho, Guardiola immediately walked up to his disciples.

This defeat is not a major rout in hard power.

City conceded too soon, and Leon's outburst today was not Chelsea's usual attacking tactic.

So it's not so much about going back and reviewing it right away and finding out what was lacking in the tactical arrangement.

Pep Guardiola knows that his more important job at the moment is to let his disciples understand that they can afford to lose and that they need to be calm.

Don't let this defeat negate their success in the last eight league games.

Mourinho doesn't need to do anything mentally about his players.

Because he is usually strict enough, and his attitude is strict enough.

So in such a moment when the whole team should celebrate, he has always been not pretentious, but will personally participate and encourage his players to enjoy the good taste of victory!

At this moment, Mourinho is the most affectionate division commander in the eyes of Terry and Lampard, and a good father in the eyes of Essien.

Chelsea's young players also let go of the psychological pressure and relaxed around Mourinho to ask him for credit and joke with him.

And the picture of the whole Chelsea team laughing and celebrating made the headlines of England's major sports media the next day.

"Unbeaten in nine rounds, eight wins!" Mourinho's full score at the beginning of the season! 》

"Real Madrid sold at a loss, and Leon's true worth should be 120 million! 》

"Abu laughs heartily, 80 million is also cheap"

"The last 1 goal and 4 assists, Leon has double-doubles in his season data!" 》

……

On this day, all the British media and newspapers were basically vigorously praising the performance of Mourinho, Leon and Chelsea in the new season.

It was an earth-shattering blow.

I don't know that I thought that Chelsea had already booked the Premier League trophy this season without finishing ten rounds of league games.

The Chelsea players returned to training this afternoon after celebrating happily last night.

Even if the newspapers outside blew into the sky, it was difficult for them to be half happy at this moment.

Because the damn EFL Cup is going to start tomorrow night!

Yes, after the Manchester City shopping, the whole Chelsea squad only has about a day and a half to rest.

This schedule is no longer a question of whether it is in the underworld or not, this Nima clearly wants the lives of the Premier League players!

The point is that Chelsea are not having a good time complaining to the FA about anything this time.

Because the Manchester duo, Arsenal and Tottenham are the same teams at the top of the Premier League.

They all had to rest for a day or two after the league and then they had to fight in the EFL Cup.

In comparison, Chelsea's draw was a decent match.

They drew Sunderland in the 16-8 knockout rounds of the EFL Cup.

Compared to Manchester United's play against Arsenal and Manchester City's play against Newcastle in the knockout round, Chelsea's round is simply not too easy.

Sunderland are currently second from bottom in the Premier League with one win, one draw and seven defeats, and in terms of their quality, they are at best the level of a team in the Championship play-offs.

However, in order to enter the quarterfinals of the EFL Cup more securely, Mourinho finally chose to use some rotations, leaving half of the main players to press the lineup to challenge Sunderland away.

And after 90 minutes of fierce battle, with goals from Leon, Lukaku and Frank Lampard, Chelsea defeated Sunderland 3-1 away and broke into the final eight of this season's EFL Cup!

It was Gary Cahill's injury in the second half of the game that made Mourinho feel annoyed again.

Sunderland's tenacious hard top made the fatigue of Chelsea's main players who insisted on playing this game exacerbate their physical fatigue.

Even Li Ang, who had not yet had time to use the physical recovery potion, was given a serious warning in the post-game team doctor's examination that he needed to take a rotational break.

Mourinho is also out of luck now, and quickly let the youngsters of Callas, Ake, and Van Ginkel run in more with the remaining Chelsea rotation players.

Three days passed, and on the afternoon of November 2, when the opening match of the 10th round of the Premier League began.

Jose Mourinho sent a starting line-up of almost pure rotation players and academy youngsters to travel to the Magpies to take on Newcastle.

The likes of Leon, Eden Hazard and Frank Lampard are part of the 18-man squad.

But they only played the role of a pre-match smoke screen and did not get a chance to come off the bench at all.

Chelsea also suffered their first defeat of the new season at St James' Park.

1-3, even if Van Ginkel and Kalas have tried their best, their current level of strength is still incomparable with the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League.

Branislav Ivanovic once again made a successful comeback and scored a header, but to no avail.

With this defeat, Chelsea's record has changed to eight wins, one draw and one defeat, exactly the same as Arsenal who had been closely behind them.

However, with a more solid defence, Chelsea are currently top of the Premier League with more goal difference.

And Mourinho still played beyond the norm in the post-match press conference.

"Drain the water? What water did I put in? You're slandering, and your question is dangerous! ”

"As everyone knows, I've always been stingy with giving youngsters more opportunities to exercise."

'No manager can guarantee that he will be able to maintain consistency when he gives his young players more opportunities and performances.

'But even with the turmoil of the results, I think it's necessary and it's worth it because they are all the future of Chelsea and we have high expectations for this group of young players'

"So please don't say it's a release, it's unfair to our young lads."

"It's just a simple scientific rotation, and it makes sense!"
