Li Ang, who scored another stunning goal today and helped the team win all three points, was very happy.

He is one step closer to winning the first Premier League trophy of his career and is about to play Barcelona.

In order to further build morale, Li Ang was very proud to invite all his teammates to dinner after the game.

After returning to the locker room for physiotherapy, rinsing, and an interview, the time came around 5 p.m.

At this time, we will go to the restaurant to rest for a while, chat for a while, and wait for the food to be served.

Many of Chelsea's young players are not playing in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Many of them have only played in the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time this year.

And in the next round against a European giant like Barcelona, there will inevitably be some expectations and nervousness.

So on the road and in the restaurant, they also kept asking the veterans in the team for their experience in playing tough Champions League battles.

Naturally, Li Ang couldn't escape the experience of being learned.

He is not very old, but his experience in the Champions League, especially in the big games of the competition, is not inferior to that of Frank Lampard and John Terry.

After all, he is a tough young player who has scored personal data in the Champions League finals in the past two seasons, and it is reasonable to be admired by a group of young brothers in the team.

However, when it comes to imparting experience, Leon is clearly not as eloquent as the real veterans.

For example, when Eden Hazard asked him how he managed to always get an assist in front of his chance in a Champions League final.

Leon scratched his head, then spread his hands.

"Actually, that's it, either you have to beat your opponent or you have an advantage in the confrontation.

You've blown up an opposing defender, and someone else has to be on the other side to cover it, so don't you have a passing opportunity? ”

As soon as Li Ang said this, it immediately caused the teammates in the private room to collectively coax, and the box was immediately booed.

Well, Leon himself reminisced about it, and such a statement seemed to be a bit Versailles.

At first glance, it sounds like Jordan said, "You rush inside, pull the rod to avoid the opponent's center's block, stay in the air for a second more than him, and then don't you score?" "It's exactly the same.

But let's be honest, that's exactly what Leon did in his two Champions League finals.

Do you have to say any assists?

That is, the counterpoint advantage of the high ball quotient plus misalignment makes it always possible for him to take chances.

In the final of 12 years, against Frank Lampard and Ramirez, Leon took the initiative to fight against the force.

In the final of 13 years, in addition to limiting the play of Kroos and Muller, Leon will take the initiative to use the speed advantage to play with him as long as he faces Javi Martinez on the offensive end.

After patiently explaining, Leon looked at De Bruyne and Hazard's thoughtful expressions and felt very relieved.

But after turning his head, he saw that Lukaku was still stupid, and Leon could only hold back his complaints and patted his head.

"You don't need to study like them in this regard, listen to my brother, practice your small explosion on the side, and then eat the trick of cutting inside on the right side and shooting, whether in the club or in the national team, you can eat well, understand?"

"Oh... Good! I listen to your boss......"

Leon smiled and nodded, and encouraged Lukaku again.

This guy is not stupid, but he is a little silly, let him play delicate work on the court, he specified that he can't play.

While there is no XJB weight gain now, let him practice more of his regular skills on the wing, as long as he does a good job of crossing the bottom and shooting inside the goal, it will be enough for this kid to eat his entire career.

If he is reliable, De Bruyne and Eden Hazard may have a chance of winning a major tournament at national level.

In the evening, in the dining room, the Chelsea players ate and chatted, and the atmosphere in the box was also very hot.

When they were about to end, a sudden good news made the atmosphere of today's intra-team dinner high!

"Manchester City were drawn away from Arsenal! Edinson Cavani came off the bench in the second half to score the equaliser and we are 10 points ahead of Manchester City! ”

Bertrand waved his mobile phone and twisted his ass directly in the box!

"Really? We are three wins ahead of Manchester City?! ”

"Calculate how many more games we need to win before we can win the championship early!"

"I've just finished the playoff and the 32nd round of the league, it's a fart! With three more wins, we'll have an early championship celebration! ”

The box burst into cheers and whistles!

The news that Manchester City were drawn by Arsenal was nothing less than a shot in the arm for Chelsea.

After a while, Terry stopped a few restless players in the Chelsea squad and wanted to go to a nightclub to celebrate.

And just as they were going home to rest, on the Internet, the news of Manchester City and Arsenal's draw had spread throughout English football.

The news of Li Ang's bold statement that Chelsea will definitely win the championship in advance has been dug up by fans of good things at this moment.

And this time, in the face of the fact that Chelsea and Manchester City have opened up a ten-point difference, no other fans dare to jump out and say that Chelsea will overturn.

With just six games left in the Premier League this season, Chelsea are 10 points ahead, which is a perfect place to kick off early.

However, most Chelsea fans on the internet are not too flamboyant at the moment.

The closer they get to winning the championship, the more they seem to be low-key and calm.

When they returned for recovery training the next day, the whole Chelsea squad was told to keep a cool head under Mourinho's instructions.

The veterans of the Blues who have rich experience in winning championships in the team also stood up one after another at this time to calm the restless hearts of the little brothers in the team.

At this time, the advantage of the veterans in the team is revealed.

Their mentality and experience are invaluable assets, and with them in the lead, the young players in the Chelsea squad can't jump even if they want to.

There have been many successes in the league and the morale of the whole Chelsea team has been high again.

After a two-and-a-half-day break, at noon on April 1, after lunch at the Cobham training base, Mourinho led his team to board the plane to Barcelona.

This time, Chelsea rented a training ground in Barcelona. It is also very familiar to Mourinho and Leon.

At the Danny Jacques training base at the Denny Jacques Sports City, the Mourinho and Chelsea players were warmly welcomed by RCD Espanyol.

Anyway, no matter what club it is, as long as you come to Barcelona to play games with Barcelona, you will basically be warmly received by Espanyol Club.

In other words, the Spaniards may not have just beaten Barcelona head-on, but as long as they can add to Barcelona's blockage, then the Spaniards must help!

After a brief afternoon training session at the already familiar Espanyol training base, Leon and his teammates took the bus to Camp Nou to complete the field.

On the way, Leon soon saw the Barcelona fans waiting on the side of the road in advance sending their cordial "greetings" to the Chelsea bus.

Well, that's right!

If it weren't for Mourinho's greeting in advance and not allowing Li Ang to cause trouble, Li Ang would have opened the car window at this time and had an intimate interaction with the local fans of Barcelona.

On the way back and forth, the Chelsea squad saw the enthusiasm of the Barcelona fans, but fortunately they were not disturbed to rest that night.

To be precise, a small number of Barcelona fans touched the noise near their hotel for a while.

But as the Espanyol fans came forward and the local police explained that they were driven away, this part of the extreme Barcelona fans soon dispersed.

In general, the current fan base of these big clubs in Europe does not follow the extreme route of some teams in Eastern Europe.

Moreover, the real big club fans, at least most of them, are more face-conscious.

The practice of going to the hotel where the away team stays and making trouble all night and interfering with the rest of other players' players is still relatively rare for big giants.

Of course, if it is Real Madrid who comes to Barcelona to play away today, then the situation will be different, and it is not the time to treat mortal enemies with face.

The period of bitter rivalry between Chelsea and Barcelona was just before 2010.

In recent years, in the 2011-2012 season, Barcelona have been successfully sniped in the Champions League by Chelsea's old boys.

The big feud is gone, after all, Chelsea were in decline during Barcelona's reign at the top of Europe.

So apart from the two factors of Mourinho and Leon, the current Barcelona and Chelsea are barely able to achieve a pre-match peace.

However, the fans on both sides also know in their hearts, and after this round of elimination, they are estimated to have to set off another bloody storm of public opinion......

On the morning of 2 April, the Chelsea squad completed their final pre-match practice at the Espanyol training base.

And before the official start of this big war. Real Madrid's superstars also took to their personal social media to cheer for Leon and Jose Mourinho.

If Chelsea were playing against any other team in this match, the Real Madrid players would not have openly supported Chelsea to qualify.

But who made Chelsea play Barcelona?

So the players of the Real Madrid department can also stand in the team very happily.

In the first leg of the two Champions League quarter-finals completed last night, Real Madrid defeated Dortmund 3-0 neatly, and basically stepped into the last four of this season's Champions League with one foot.

Carlo Ancelotti gave the entire Real Madrid squad a day off.

So Xavi, Alonso and Ramos, as well as Nacho's group of players from Real Madrid who were born in Castia, simply came to Camp Nou to watch Leon's game.

Before the game, the scene of Li Ang and his old teammates hugging and getting together outside the hotel was also filmed by the reporters who followed them.

So before the start of the game that night, when the live camera was focused on the box full of Real Madrid players, the Barcelona fans at the scene immediately let out bursts of boos.

But Brother Long, they don't care, after all, they have long been used to it, and they can even politely smile and nod in front of the camera.

And when the players of the two teams followed the referee team onto the field, the live camera was aimed at Mourinho and Leon.

The scene at Camp Nou suddenly let out a strong boo that was several times more manic than before!

Neymar, who has only just moved to Barcelona and has not played a full season, was very surprised.

Because apart from playing for Real Madrid, he has never seen his own fans go so manic.

But his team-mates, such as Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Gerard Pique, are no surprise to the likes of Lionel Iniesta.

After all, there is the player on the other side who can surpass Ronaldo and become the most hated player of all Barcelona fans.

What's more, he smiled at the live camera again...

Not to mention the Barcelona fans, these Barcelona players on the field wanted to boo him fiercely when they saw Leon's familiar smile!

Messi avoided Leon who wanted to talk to him before the game today.

When the two sides shook hands, in the face of Leon's wink, Messi still maintained an unsmiling attitude.

This frightened Leon slightly.

Looking at the coal boss who seemed to have regained his mustache earlier than he remembered, Li Ang also muttered in his heart.

"Didn't you say you were going to treat me to a barbecue last night... Pretend not to be familiar today? It's really yours, Xiaomei! ”

Messi's face was serious, and Li Ang quickly restrained the smile on his face, and his eyes became solemn.

The change in the expressions of the two was seen by countless fans, and the reporters on the sidelines also frantically pressed the shutter on the two.

That's right!

This is the feeling that a-for-tat confrontation should have, and to fight this kind of tough battle, you must be indifferent and tough.

If the two of them still play the same game of meeting old friends on the field, then the media waiting for dinner will not be happy.

As the time for the game approached, the tension of the big game suddenly enveloped the entire Camp Nou.

After picking the side, the captains of both teams trotted back to their own half to seize the last bit of time to boost the morale of the team.

It was also at this moment before the game that the commentators of various countries basically introduced the starting formations of the two teams today.

Mourinho's tactics have not changed much, and he still came up with the 4231 formation that he was most comfortable with in the past against Barcelona.

Goalkeeper is Petr Cech.

At the back, Ashley Cole, John Terry, David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta started the game.

In midfield, Nemanja Matic and Ramirez formed a double midfield today, with Leon still playing in the front. The left and right wing-backs are Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne respectively.

The starting centre-forward was Ibrahimovic.

As for Barcelona, today's change of formation is still relatively obvious.

The season was reimbursed because the main goalkeeper Valdés was injured in the last round of the league.

So Barcelona's old goalkeeper Pinto temporarily took the starting position.

At the back, Jodi Alba, Mascherano, Pique and Alves were no problem with their starting line-up.

The midfield is also Habaibu Iron Triangle all playing.

It's just that in the forward line, Messi, who has been playing in the middle for most of the season, returned to the right side he is most familiar with today.

Messi on the right, Neymar on the left, and Alexis Sanchez back in the centre.

There has been a change in the arrangement of the current Barcelona manager Martino for Messi. This quickly caught the attention of Mourinho and Leon.

However, Mourinho did not plan to make targeted tactical adjustments to Barcelona or Messi's position change at this time.

After a few more moments, the referee finally blew the whistle for the start of the game.

And Mourinho also paced to the sidelines at this moment, carefully observing the direction of the situation on the field.

Li Ang played against Messi's team for the first time today, but he did not limit Messi's play 1-on-1.

In the past, when he was at Real Madrid, Mourinho needed his tactical sacrifice to freeze Barcelona's ace core, and Real Madrid also had enough attacking firepower to hit Barca's backline.

But now Chelsea are in desperate need of Leon's attacking support.

If he still goes to play tactics, Chelsea, who lack the core support of the midfield in attack, will really not be able to break the control of Barcelona's midfield.

There are gains and losses, and Mourinho also wants to see if the two-back combination of Matic and Raamirez can withstand the impact of Messi and Sanchez's dribbling.

Chelsea, who were the first to kick off in the opening game, took the rare initiative to launch an offensive test against Barcelona.

It was still Leon who controlled the ball, and it was still Hazard, who was the most attacking threat, who tested Barcelona's defensive intensity first.

Hazard will face Aves today without a doubt an absolute active wing superstar.

Alves, who is still at the tail of his peak, is not much slower than Eden Hazard.

What's more, while his offensive ability is very strong, his individual limitation ability on the defensive end is also first-class in football.

Compared to his teammate Marcelo in the Brazilian national team, his offensive and defensive abilities are more balanced.

At least in the opening stages of today's game, Hazard didn't get much of a win in his one-on-one defence.

Leon also felt that Alves seemed to be in the game very quickly today, and his performance was a little better than usual.

So after seeing that Hazard's two dribbling attempts failed to pass Alves, he decisively took the ball and then played a long ball to his own right.

De Bruyne has a stronger sense of cooperation with his team-mates.

Once Leon had handed him the ball this time, he covered Cesar Azpilicueta's bottom and Chelsea made their first successful attempt at crossing since the start of the game.

Leon then cut in to Barcelona's penalty area, but at this moment Ibrahimovic had already completed a header against Pique's defense.

After seeing Barcelona's old goalkeeper Pinto take off the football safely, Leon also applauded Azpilicueta who sent the pass, and then actively returned to the defense.

However, the forward passing speed of Barcelona's side was beyond Leon's expectations.

After counting down, from Pinto to Alba, Alba dribbled forward and Iniesta successfully connected, the process seemed to be less than two seconds!

A hint of unease flashed through Leon's heart as he yelled at Ramirez, who was up in front, to retreat, but Iniesta then delivered a threatening shot that tore through Chelsea's wide defence!

In Leon's sight, the figure of Messi taking the ball and cutting inward appeared!

"Messi is up on the wing! His in-cut was decisive, and Nemanja Matic's recovery was a bit slow! ”

In the studio of Channel 5, the tone of He Wei, who was commenting on the live broadcast tonight, also became nervous!

Messi in the live broadcast camera really shook off Matic through two quick changes of direction, and then he ran all the way with the ball and hit Chelsea's defensive hinterland!

Sanchez was at the front and desperately ran to the left to pull David Luiz's defense.

And Neymar's diagonal insertion on the right side also made Ashley Cole dare not easily adduct the position to interfere with Messi.

John Terry was stuck alone on Messi's way into the Chelsea penalty area and didn't dare to act rashly.

But at the moment when he was close to the top of the arc of the Chelsea penalty area, Messi took a step to adjust, and then stretched out his posture and directly rubbed out a deadly arc with his left foot!

His shot was so decisive that it was too late for Terry to step forward to intercept the interference!

And Leon also stopped going back at this time. Because the ball had already crossed the palm of Cech's save and plunged into the top left corner of the Chelsea goal!

In just the sixth minute of the opening game, Messi scored with his left foot in the first run with the ball in the whole game!

As he has done countless times in a game, take the ball alone at a seemingly inopportune moment and send it into the opponent's goal!

It was definitely his superstar moment!

The Camp Nou stadium, which can accommodate nearly 100,000 people, also let out terrifying cheers at this moment!

They are carnivaling and venting to their heart's content, and there is no shortage of mocking words against Mourinho and Leon!

Li Ang touched the back of his head, looking at Messi's celebratory figure running to the bottom line excitedly, he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

"I'm rubbing! Boss Mei, you're really playing today! ”
