Chapter 214: Grumpy Little Lion Online Calf Protector [Ask the Big Guys to Subscribe!] 】
After Leon's strong performance helped Chelsea turn West Bromwich Albion around.
Unsurprisingly, he has once again become the focus of discussion throughout English football!
Arsenal fans, who were held to a draw by Manchester United in the last round of the league, feel even more like crazy.
They were playing at the same time as Chelsea, who were 1-0 down at half-time and 2-0.
Many Arsenal fans were already celebrating in advance at that time.
After all, they can slash the traitor Van Persie and overtake Chelsea at the same time to sit at the top of the Premier League.
Just 45 minutes later, Chelsea's side stubbornly overcame West Bromwich Albion.
But they were forced to draw by Van Persie's half-time pass!
In just 45 minutes, Arsenal fans experienced the rollercoaster of emotions.
Seeing Robin van Persie celebrate with Manchester United's players at Old Trafford once again, Arsenal fans are gritting their teeth.
Not to mention failing to seize this opportunity to overtake Chelsea, Arsenal was once again opened up by Chelsea by two points.
Many Gunners fans watched the surprise celebration of their opponents in the same city, and they were really envious.
Cavani is very fragrant, and now Arsenal's backline is relatively stable, and they are short of a midfield core like Leon who can carry the team's core at a critical moment!
"Can we still strengthen the winter window? If you can't make up for Li Ang's ability, can you buy a young midfielder with Li Ang's strength of seventy or eighty percent? ”
An Arsenal fan's message under the Arsenal official push quickly went viral.
Fans of other Premier League teams came to ridicule and let the Arsenal fan end his dream sooner.
"You can buy a midfielder with the strength of Li Ang in attack, and you can also buy a midfielder with the strength of Li Ang in defense.
But want to buy one that is as balanced as Leon on both ends of the floor? Sorry, there's not one on the market! ”
"Now you go and ask Lafayette, if Chelsea is willing to put Leon on the transfer market again and let Real Madrid spend 150 million to buy it, do you think Real Madrid is willing?"
"I highly recommend the Grand Paris True Core Khedira, who has good offense and defense, full of physical energy, and is still a good buddy of Leang, known as the beggar version of Little Leang..."
Under the jokes and ridicule of fans from all walks of life, Arsenal fans can only smile helplessly.
In fact, their current midfield configuration is also very good.
Tulalanga Arteta's two-man midfield combination is balanced in attack and defence, and with Cazorla, it is a proper Premier League top midfield configuration.
Look at the game scenes in the past few years where the waist was not hard enough, and then look at the solid defense and control of Arsenal's backfield this season, what kind of bicycle do you need!
It may be that Leon will make the current Arsenal fans envy Chelsea a little.
Of course, it's not just them, it's the whole Premier League, no matter which team it is.
Who doesn't envy Chelsea for having such a solid midfield core as Leon?
This season's schedule has not yet passed 1/3, and Leon has given Chelsea a cover, and the scene of the savior in danger can already be used as a highlight.
While other fans sourly suggested, Chelsea should have finished third in the Premier League if it weren't for Leon's performance at a few key moments.
Chelsea supporters will not refute anything, instead smiling and responding:
That's right, you're right, it's reasonable that we are third in the Premier League...... But we are now number one in the Premier League~
Chelsea fans who have just witnessed the team's turnaround are naturally proud of this.
At the beginning of this season, many industry experts who were not very optimistic about Leon's performance in his first Premier League season did not dare to harden their mouths at this time, and could only pinch their noses and admit that they had made a mistake in judgment.
After all, if Leon's stats are average, then they can also make a fuss about some of Leang's small mistakes on the field.
But now on the Premier League's scorer list, Leon has ranked third.
Ahead of him are Edinson Cavani, who has scored 10 goals in 11 league games, and Suarez, who has scored nine goals in six league games since the end of the ban!
And in the Premier League assist list, Li Ang is even more strongly ranked first!
Do they dare to hack this data? Then I really don't want to eat this bowl of rice.
However, after the end of the 11th round of the Premier League, the international break is here again.
These so-called experts were also let go by the fans who turned their attention to the national team matches.
Leon, who had been given at least a week's break, did not immediately start another surprise training session at the Cobham training base.
He first flew straight to Italy and found Pintus, who was on vacation in Turin.
After spending two days with Pintus reminiscing about Turin and revising the original training plan, Leon returned to London.
He spent the next week almost directly at the training base, specializing in strength and archery.
A week later, Li Ang's strength ability value increased a little more with difficulty, and he directly reached the peak of his current strength talent value, which is 87 ability value.
In the area of archery, Li Ang's progress is not too big, even if his archery ability value is still relatively low at the moment, it stands to reason that the improvement speed will be faster.
But after a week of special training, his archery skills have increased from 74 to 75.
It seems that this ability still has to be used more in the game, and more attempts will lead to faster breakthrough progress.
No matter how much you practice, when you encounter a strong confrontation or an unexpected situation in the game, it is not easy to make a threatening and accurate shot in front of the goal.
This made the sense of urgency in Li Ang's heart couldn't help but increase a few points.
Although in the previous Premier League, Leon did not score a lot of goals, and it can even be said that it far exceeded his own expectations.
But Leon himself knows in his heart that he still has a bonus that other Premier League defenders are not very familiar with him.
The better he performs in front of him, the more detailed and thorough the coaches of other teams will study him during this kind of league break during the international break.
For example, his threatening long-range shots, as well as his recent dribbling skills.
It turns out that the defenders and midfielders of the Premier League do not know his range, shooting habits, and the usual way of passing.
So if you suddenly face him, you will inevitably suffer two or three losses in a game.
But after the fight, or after watching others fight him.
With a response plan, coupled with repeated pondering and reviewing of the game video, the coaching staff of each team will also make corresponding tactical targets for him.
This is not only the case in the Premier League, but also in other leagues.
So fans see this every season:
In the first half of the season, a certain young player suddenly came out of nowhere.
The team's record is good, the fans are strongly supportive, and the media is also vigorously praised and promoted, as if the next rising star is already rising.
But as the game progresses, it's the second half of the league, or even the middle of the league even earlier.
These young players who have been doing well up front are suddenly dumbfounded.
If you look closely, it's not that the young players have become weaker, or that the opponents they are facing have collectively become stronger.
It's that the teams have targeted defensive pressure on this kind of young players who are suddenly on fire.
Force you to use your non-dominant feet, get on the bag, go up to the confrontation, and compress your space with the ball......
At the end of this defensive package, most of the young players will fall into a cycle of low performance.
Li Ang is also very familiar with this situation, and he is naturally very confident in his strength.
But he was also mentally prepared early for the international break to be defensively targeted by various Premier League teams.
It wasn't too difficult for him.
After all, when others block his shooting space, or pack him, he can also share the ball to help his teammates get more offensive opportunities.
But the sense of crisis in his own heart is always urging him to improve his arsenal as soon as possible.
It doesn't matter if you take your time to train and see slow results, as long as you can see continuous improvement.
This season, the liver is not going up, and the offseason is going to work harder!
When his shooting skills and crosses are also on the double 80 stat level, then others will have to spend more energy to defend him.
After finishing the special training, Leon lay on the turf of the Cobham training base and clicked on the ability attribute panel in the system.
Looking at the ability value of more than 85 now, and thinking about his pitiful offensive attribute at the beginning, Li Ang was quite satisfied in his heart!
Strong: 87 (87)
Stamina: 94 (98)
Speed: 84 (93)
Acceleration: 87 (93)
Dribbling: 82 (93)
Ball control: 86 (88)

Header: 87 (92)
Bounce: 84 (84)
Tackle: 88 (88)
Steals: 90 (92)
Field of view: 87 (97)
……
After finally looking at the very unsociable archery and cross ability, Li Ang turned off the system panel and walked leisurely towards the physiotherapy area.
The next morning, the Chelsea first team returned to base after playing a friendly for the national team.
In the next round of the Premier League, Chelsea's opponents are West Ham United, also in the London region.
Well, another London derby.
Even if the Hammers are only one point above the relegation zone, Mourinho does not take them lightly.
It's no secret that West Ham are generally not the dirtiest team in the Premier League at the end of each season.
But they appear in the list of the dirtiest Premier League teams in almost every season, and the rankings are not low.
Hammers fans will naturally give the team's style a better word like iron and tough.
But in the eyes of other victimized Premier League teams, the Hammers were really playing with their lives when they played at home, and they were really dirty!
At the end of last season, The Sun did a poll of the dirtiest teams and dirtiest players in the Premier League.
West Ham were the second dirtiest team in the Premier League at the time.
The first is Sky City Stoke City, who have received 485 foul blows and 78 yellow cards throughout the season.
West Ham's two season stats are 470 fouls and 74 yellow cards respectively!
In the first 11 rounds of the league this season, West Ham United have only won two, drawn four and lost five, and West Ham United have won two and drawn two at home.
Therefore, Mourinho also has to pay attention to the next round of away games against West Ham United.
Tactical arrangement is on the one hand, how to make your own players not suffer on the field, and protect the health of your own players, is another problem...
On 23 November, Chelsea visited Upton Park to challenge the Hammers for West Ham United.
The nominal London derby didn't attract much media attention before the game.
Because Chelsea's results are too good at the moment, and West Ham United's league position is too low, it is difficult to attract the interest of fans in terms of game suspense.
In contrast, the strong dialogue between Manchester City and Tottenham, which started at the same time, is the focus of attention of the British media.
However, less than 45 minutes after the start of the game at Upton Park, the attention of the British media was drawn back to Chelsea and West Ham United.
It wasn't the games that caught their attention because of the excitement of the games played by Chelsea and West Ham.
It's because the players of Chelsea and West Ham United received 6 yellow cards before they finished half the game!
A team draws three yellow cards, which is a very balanced number of cards.
The fiery pace of the game and the smell of gunpowder between the players of both teams can also be seen.
When the game entered the half-time stage, Leon and West Ham United defender Noble sprayed each other in the players' tunnel!
The reason is that Noble used a very vicious side-back tackle in the first half to leave De Bruyne lying on the turf for a full two minutes!
And Leon used the same method three minutes later to make Noble lie on the turf in pain for two minutes!
Noble and West Ham players accused Leon of deliberate revenge.
But Leon not only did not defend himself, but also threatened Noble with the courage to make malicious fouls on other Chelsea players again, and he would make Noble pay the price he deserved today!
Originally, Leon wanted to make Noble break his leg with cruel words, but for the sake of the club's reputation, Leon finally changed his words.
The originally arrogant West Ham United General looked at the fierceness in Li Ang's eyes and did not look like a fraud, and suddenly did not dare to continue to provoke the angry lion.
After all, Noble was almost shoveled by Leon on the court before, and the scene of screaming and rolling on the ground is still vivid.
The spikes were already shining directly, and the referee only gave Leon a yellow card and reprimanded the other West Ham players to warn them not to do anything!
This is so biased that West Ham players once wondered if this was still their home stadium.
In the front, there was Leon decisively retaliated for a foul, and then Terry locked his throat and knocked over West Ham United striker Nolan.
As soon as Chelsea's two villains came out, the players on the field of West Ham United reined in their actions.
Mourinho, of course, did not express his opinion directly on this, but he did not reprimand Leon and Terry in the dressing room, but only lightly told them not to get hurt.
This attitude speaks for itself.
And in the second half of the game, the whole Chelsea team hedged by the hard bridge and West Ham United can be described as a rainbow!
In the face of teams that are even tougher than they seem, do not shy away from lethal foul tactics, and seem to have official favoritism.
West Ham suddenly went soft.
In the 68th minute of the second half, Leon knocked over Noble after scoring with a header in the West Ham United box.
He ran to the corner flag area very arrogantly, put one hand behind his ear and made a listening gesture!
Upton Park stadium immediately resounded with earth-shattering boos!
Because Leon listened attentively to the direction of the celebration, it was the South Stand where the die-hard West Ham fans gathered!
This is a blatant provocation!
But Leon didn't care at all.
All he remembered was the mocking boos and laughter from the West Ham fans when De Bruyne was tackled!
He's upset and he doesn't expect these fans to apologize to De Bruyne, so he's going to take revenge personally!
Either Caesar or nothing!
If you can't beat us, then in the face of retaliation and provocation, you can only endure it!
The boos at the scene seemed to be louder, but the smile on Leang's face was also thicker.
This is also him, the most real him.
If there is revenge, you will take revenge on the spot!
