Chelsea's goal in the 36th minute of the first half sent boos from the Stadium of Light!

But the Chelsea players, who were basking in the joy of equalising at the moment, did not care about the displeasure of the Sunderland fans.

Eevee roared and rushed to the baseline, jumped high and swung his fist and turned!

It was his seventh goal in the Premier League.

It was also his 12th goal for Chelsea this season!

Facing a completely unfamiliar league, Ibrahimovic survived the adaptation period at the beginning of the season with a smooth enough performance.

And if you exclude the number of rests he rotated in the previous rounds of the league, only the playing time is counted.

Then his goal efficiency is actually not much different from Cavani, who is currently ranked first in the Premier League's scorer list

Second only to Suarez, who has now gone crazy.

That's 11 goals in 8 league games, and it's now a strong equalling for Cavani's super goal machine!

Even if he is as proud as Ibrahimovic, he now has to admit that Suarez is currently the best striker in the entire Premier League.

But that's Suarez, who is 26 years old and in his prime.

Now 32 years old, Ibrahimovic can still compete with young strikers in their 20s.

This is already an incredible thing in the eyes of countless Premier League fans!

And after venting his excitement, Ibu also laughed and hugged Li Ang, who opened his arms to him.

"Good boy! Reaching the double 10 data so quickly?! You're really going to 20+20 this season, so remember to pass me a few more good balls later! ”

Leon burst into laughter when he heard this, and the other Chelsea players hugged him and congratulated him.

However, the celebration did not last long, as Chelsea had only just equalised and were not in the lead.

After Leon sorted out his emotions, he encouraged his teammates to make persistent efforts and strive to complete the overtaking goal against Sunderland as soon as possible!

It's a pity that Sunderland manager Di Canio also quickly recognized the reality at this time.

He hurriedly asked Sunderland's players to retreat into the half, shrinking the formation, just to hold on to the balance of the point in the first half.

Seeing this, Mourinho and Holland had a simple discussion, and he also quickly made tactical adjustments, so that his disciples did not need to rush to attack, but also slowed down the tempo.

So when the referee on duty blew the whistle at the end of the half-game.

Chelsea and Sunderland were held to a 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light, with neither of them able to break the balance further.

Back in the locker room, Leon was greeted with a hug and encouragement from Mourinho and assistant coach Mr. Holland.

Apparently they also know that Leon has just picked up his tenth assist of the season.

For his own disciples and the core of the team, Mourinho will naturally not be stingy with encouragement and praise.

The more capable and capable players are, the more tactical privileges they can get in his team.

From Frank Lampard of Chelsea in the first phase of Mu to Sneijder in the big country Milan period, and then to Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid in the back.

These stars have received plenty of attention and tactical care from Mourinho.

Now it's Leon's turn, who has the flexibility to change positions on the pitch and the right to fine-tune the team's offensive and defensive tactics on the spot.

In fact, it is Mourinho who gives him tactical privileges.

As long as he doesn't make tactical mistakes too often, Mourinho will hardly deprive him of this tactical privilege.

In the first half, Leon improved Chelsea's passivity in defence through timely changes.

Mourinho is of course very satisfied with this, after all, whether in terms of the field or the result, Leon's tactical fine-tuning can not find any fault.

So in the second half, Mourinho not only won't stop Leon from using his tactical privilege.

It will also encourage Li Ang to look for this kind of opportunity that can change the tide of the battle.

As for Sunderland, in fact, the Chelsea coaching staff did not continue to do any tactical targeting.

The Chelsea players, who had been spiked in time, only needed to get used to the slippery turf of the day to be able to keep Sunderland in check.

The only thing to focus on is Sunderland's long-range style of play from set-pieces.

And in the second half, when the attack needs to be strengthened, Mourinho is not in a hurry to make a substitution immediately.

He just asked De Bruyne, who had returned from injury, to go to the sidelines to do a few more warm-up moves.

Van Kinkel was a good performer on the pitch today, both in terms of organisation and defence, and he was able to help Leon and Nemanja Matic.

As a bonus, Mourinho intends to let the lad play the full game for the day.

Therefore, if he has to make substitution adjustments later, Mourinho will basically only let De Bruyne replace Ramires in the opposite position.

At the start of the second half, it was clear that the Chelsea players who had changed their shoes were more comfortable with the slippery pitch than they had in the first half.

Chelsea, who changed the attacking style of the first half and used their own advantages to play long passes more directly, quickly took the initiative in the game.

After all, Chelsea are far above Sunderland in terms of their ability to control the ball in front and back.

Ibu, who is becoming more and more proficient in heading, not to mention anything else, just his height of 1.95 meters, that is a natural huge advantage!

With Ibrahimovic as the attacking axis to radiate the wings, the constant flow of possession allowed Chelsea to play smoothly in attack.

Leon then came up with another trick to get Matic forward and let Van Ginkel play back to his best single midfielder position.

In this way, Leon directly combined with Nemanja Matic to form a super interception line in Sunderland's half!

This Nima is simply going to block other people's doors, grab other people's balls, and further feed their own offense!

And once this position is changed, there is nothing unaccustomed to Chelsea's three midfielders.

Nemanja Matic was originally born as a central midfielder, but after moving to Benfica, he changed to play as a midfielder and became famous in one fell swoop.

Van Ginkel is also very accustomed to playing as a single midfielder, and playing a single midfielder in the Eredivisie is an all-round offensive and defensive role.

Not to mention Li Ang, from the back to the front, he has played in any position, and there is no such thing as strangeness at all!

So Chelsea suddenly changed to 433.

Leon and Nemanja Matic were able to press Sunderland's defensive in the half.

In short, I will highlight one sentence:

It's to press the opponent to fight!

Di Canio was also stunned at this time, he didn't expect that Chelsea, who had simplified the tactical style of play, would directly press Sunderland and beat him on the ground!

What's going on?

People will play long passes and hang with you, and they will press you with their personal strength!

I can't get out even if I want to!

It's too ruthless to put the interception line on the opponent's half and press it!

Di Canio watched his team be beaten by Chelsea and looked pitiful as he stood helplessly in the light rain.

Mourinho is very sympathetic to his colleague.

But he sat in the dugout, but he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping Leon from taking the other Chelsea players to Sunderland.

He also watched with interest the defensive effect of Leon and Nemanja Matic pressing on the opponent's half-field.

Many neutral fans watching this game are completely unaware of this moment. Chelsea's three midfielders played in a positional style that Leon had concocted.

They also thought it was Mourinho's new way of tormenting other teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

After seeing the results of Ramirez and Ibrahimovic scoring twice in the opening 20 minutes of the second half.

Many neutral Premier League fans have chosen to turn off their televisions.

Because watching Sunderland being pinned to the ground by Chelsea is so worrying!

This reminds them of the subsequent encounter between their own team and Chelsea.

Blocked by Leon and Nemanja Matic in the middle line and hitting with his head?

Isn't this more than brutality? It's brutal!

In the end, a brutal Chelsea walked away with a 4-1 victory at the Stadium of Light.

With the exception of Petr Cech, who was a bit unlucky after another clean sheet bonus, the rest of the Chelsea players were happy with the result.

De Bruyne, who came on as a substitute in the 74th minute of the second half, also set up Ibrahimovic for his third goal of the game.

Ibrahimovic, who scored a hat-trick, will invite all his team-mates back to London for dinner tonight as soon as he returns to the dressing room.

Although the schedule has been relatively tight recently, Mourinho has not been disappointed when he sees the morale of the whole team high.

With a wave of his hand, he gave the whole team a half-day vacation, and immediately made the away team's locker room cry and howl!

Chelsea, who returned to London that night, made a big move to the city.

In the past, Leon always ate French food, and everyone was a little tired of eating, so today Ibu specially chose a delicious Italian private restaurant.

Don't ask why you don't eat British food when you eat French food in London.

Even John Terry and Frank Lampard don't usually touch local London cuisine.

Let a group of Chelsea players who have come to London from abroad eat British food?

That's not a dinner reward, then TMD is a punishment!

After a little bit of joy after eating, the Chelsea players didn't dare to spend too long in the London gold cave.

Before two o'clock in the morning, they each said goodbye and went home to rest.

Li Ang couldn't turn down the kind invitation of his teammates today, and went out together to gain a long insight.

However, while the rest of his teammates were hugging and chatting with the pretty girls, he was napping with silent headphones in a noisy nightclub box.

Not surprisingly, the next day The Sun reported that seven or eight of Chelsea's first-team players were in a clubhouse in downtown London.

To the surprise of a large number of fans, Li Ang appeared on the front page of The Sun.

However, after reading the detailed lace report, they were not surprised.

Well, the act of wearing silent headphones in a nightclub and hurrying to sleep is very Leon!

Mourinho also doesn't take much care of the players' private entertainment.

When the recovery session began the next afternoon, he only looked at the status and quality of the training of the individual players.

Fortunately, the players who went to the nightclub last night also knew it, and they only relaxed for a short time, but no one completely relaxed their belts.

This is still very satisfying for Mourinho.

Mu Shuai even had the leisure to make fun of Li Ang with the lace news released by The Sun today.

But that's just a little spice in the tedious and repetitive training life.

The Chelsea squad rushed to Stoke City three days later.

This Premier League fifteenth round is also a preview of the quarter-finals of the English League Cup between Chelsea and Stoke City.

Both teams are well aware of the huge gap in quality between each other.

So at the beginning of the game, Stoke City was very pragmatic at home and put on a posture to defend the whole game!

Stoke City's half-time retrenchment and defensive determination was quite a problem for Chelsea, who had to rotate some of their main veterans.

Then consider that the team in front of you has a strong ability to bomb at high altitudes and find dangerous opportunities from set-pieces.

Mourinho also didn't dare to let his players press too much, giving Stoke too many counter-attacking set-piece opportunities.

Leon looked at it on the pitch and was also very impressed by the height of the players in Stoke City's team.

"It's all a league guy who lives on defense and high-altitude balls......"

If Chelsea were in full swing at the moment, without the fatigue of the schedule, then Mourinho and Chelsea's players on the pitch would not have thought too much about it.

But in the midst of a tight schedule, Mourinho has to think about the consequences of not being able to attack.

And after the cautious offensive and defensive tests of both teams in the first half, Mourinho also made his own tactical decisions.

"Hold it down."

Hearing Mu Shuai say this, Holland immediately understood.

As a result, a regular style of play was adopted, with Chelsea and Stoke City, who were more inclined to protect the safety of their own penalty areas, played out a 0-0 draw at Britannia.

It was Chelsea's second draw of the season.

And after the game, Mourinho and Stoke City manager Mark Hughes also shook hands amicably.

After this round of fixtures, Chelsea also enjoyed a valuable week of recuperation in the Premier League.

For the rest of the Premier League powerhouses, the final round of the Champions League group stage is just a formality here at Chelsea.

On 11 December, Chelsea sat at home and welcomed the Bucharest Stars.

Qualification hopes are within reach, and the Romanian league giants are desperate to create a miracle at Stamford Bridge.

But Mourinho doesn't want his home stadium to be ruined.

If this game is played at the home of Bucharest Stars, then Mourinho will also be a smooth match.

But at Stamford Bridge, Jose Mourinho doesn't want to lose anyway, and a draw is just the bottom line.

With the tactical task of 'at least not losing', Chelsea's young players have been resolute in defending at home.

Callas has once again been the best defender in the Chelsea squad.

With the explosive play of the Czech youngster, the Bucharest Stars were stunned in the first half and did not get a chance to shoot in the Chelsea penalty area.

The second half was equally boring for the neutral fans, with Chelsea's resolute defensive will forcing the Bucharest star to fight early.

But in the 78th minute of the second half, it was De Bruyne who assisted Romelu Lukaku for a deadlock-breaking counter-attacking goal.

The Bucharest stars players were also deflated.

In the end, Chelsea won 1-0 at home to Steaua Bucharest.

And tonight's proud trip to Schalke, Schalke 04 also took control of their own destiny, defeated Basel 3:1 at home, and successfully reversed to obtain another qualifying place in Group E of the Champions League!

On December 16th, the much-anticipated 2013~2014 Champions League 1/8 knockout draw ceremony was held in Switzerland.

Because Bayern Munich had beaten Manchester City to top the group, they won't be going to meet Chelsea in the first knockout round.

But they still managed to draw an opponent from London.

Arsenal!

After playing a super strong team in the first round of the Champions League knockout round for several years, Arsenal fans have nothing to say at all.

Chelsea's Champions League signing this year isn't too good, but it's not too bad either.

They will face Paris Saint-Germain in the first round.

This kind of contest is still relatively interesting.

After watching the lottery ceremony, Li Ang also showed an inexplicable smile on his mouth.

He could finally make some trash feel the desperation of the stadium himself!
