Chapter 260: Ah Kuan, brother, the boss here is generous and has a good salary, come quickly!
For the first time since moving to Chelsea, Leon felt physically and mentally tired from playing a game.
The first leg was lost 1-2, and if you look at the result alone, Chelsea can barely accept it, and there is still hope for the second leg.
But if you look at the game, and to be sensible, Chelsea fans probably don't think their home side is likely to turn the tables in the second leg.
The game scene was really passive, and Leon was too tired to play, visibly tired.
Without the ability to reduce the burden on Leon in midfield, there is no way to liberate Chelsea's attacking ability.
Maybe Mourinho could take a gamble in the second leg and take risks on the defensive end to give Leon and his attacking players a free hand?
It's a viable tactical idea, but when you think about Bayern's seemingly tougher ability to attack from the wings, well...
Chelsea fans immediately felt that it was better not to kill themselves.
With their midfield core and defensive daddy, there is nothing to dislike from Blues supporters.
The duo of Lyonga Matic, whether it is a pair of midfielders or a front and back combination, is already one of the top midfield combinations in Europe.
As for Frank Lampard and Ramirez, who have done their best, Chelsea fans have more regrets in their hearts.
How can a true Blues fan speak ill of Frank Lampard and Ramirez?
They only felt a sense of regret that Leon and Nemanja Matic did not meet Frank Lampard and Ramirez in the best days of their careers.
This emotion about the passage of time and the loss of the player's peak is usually emotionally sad.
But now Leon can't waste his time on sadness like the fans.
The day after the game, when the rest of Chelsea's main players were still digesting their emotions and resting and resuming the game.
Leon had already driven to the Cobham training base at 8 a.m. to begin a medical check-up and early recovery training.
He couldn't afford to suddenly boost his teammates before the start of the second round.
He can only try to adjust his game to the best he can.
Like him, the entire Chelsea coaching staff came to training early the day after the Champions League semi-final.
Leon is training, and Mourinho is also leading his team members to make a final effort to find a tactical breakthrough against Bayern.
And in the end, Leon and Mourinho both walked the same path of perception for the second leg:
If they still want to grab the chance to advance, then they have to take a risk!
In the 36th round of the Premier League on April 27, Mourinho sent a pure substitute and rotating squad to challenge Liverpool away.
As the media had predicted, Chelsea simply lost 2-0.
With just five days between the two Champions League ties, Chelsea's main players certainly won't be wasting their energy in the league.
On 28 April, Chelsea's key players boarded the plane to Munich a day earlier with the coaching staff.
On the evening of April 29, Chelsea, who had done all the preparations, made a final push at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
They will be battling it out with Bayern Munich to qualify for this season's Champions League final.
Chelsea, who have conceded two away goals in the first leg, have few tactical options and will have to focus on attack.
Even Chelsea fans find it unreliable to play against the Southern Kings at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
But Mourinho was a rare step in commanding his team.
In the first round, Li Ang, who had to retreat early to assist his teammates in defense, was forced by the coaching staff to focus 100% on counter-attacking in this round.
This is not to reduce the burden on Leon, but purely to withstand Bayern Munich's firepower at the defensive end to keep Leon pumping shells forward.
To be honest, this tactic is very exciting, and it is the first time that Li Ang has played like this under Mourinho's hands.
Since the defense can't be steady, let's let go of the kick on the offensive end!
Leon could feel the determination and determination of his coaching staff.
The rest of the Chelsea players, especially the attacking players, also went straight to the end of the game to fight for their lives!
From the first minute of the whistle blowing, Leon dribbled the ball directly into the middle of Bayern Munich's seemingly strongest midfield.
The importance that Bayern has attached to Leon is obvious, and the defense of his bag is particularly in place.
However, while withstanding intense defensive pressure, Leon also used Bayern's defensive vigilance to create better opportunities for other Chelsea attacking players.
In the first round, Leon lacked helpers and was really limited in attack.
But now it's not just Nemanja Matic and Frank Lampard who will join Leon in decisively stepping in.
Both of Chelsea's full-backs have also been Leon's right-hand man in attack.
Even if it is still not enough to outrun Bayern Munich, Chelsea still have to play high pressing and fly on both wings!
Bayern Munich's Robery combination was a formidable combination, but Bayern still had to avoid the attack under Chelsea's near-frantic two-sided forward pressure from the start.
Chelsea finally seized the initiative in attack and played with momentum at Bayern's home stadium.
But an adventure is an adventure after all.
Chelsea have enjoyed the dividends of attacking with all their players, so naturally they have to bear the risk of not having enough defenders.
In the 18th minute of the first half of the game, Chelsea took the lead in scoring from Ibrahimovic after receiving a cross from Kevin De Bruyne!
Dante was completely suppressed by Ibrahimovic in this defense, and Boateng was attracted by Leon and didn't have time to pack Ibrahimovic.
As soon as the goal was scored, Chelsea was in full swing!
However, just when Chelsea continued to press with all their strength and wanted to fight for another goal, Bayern's sharp counterattack came.
In the 23rd and 31st minutes of the first half, Bayern Munich scored two goals in a row through two quick and sharp side counter-attacks!
Thomas Muller played a huge role in both counter-attacks.
A cross from Robben cut inside and was covered by Mandzukic to flank a header at the back post.
After holding the ball himself in the middle of a counterattack, attracting the attention of Nemanja Matic and David Luiz, he sent a through ball and assisted Ribery, who was in the diagonal penalty area, to score with a low shot!
Nemanja Matic was a little anxious, and his marking didn't seem to work at all against an attacking player like Muller, who had a slippery movement and didn't seem to have great skills at his feet.
Leon could only patiently calm Matic's emotions at halftime.
To deal with a special player like Muller who can run and always run in place, if you want to limit his play, you really have to be like Leon at the beginning.
If you don't do this, then you defend him for seventy or eighty minutes in front, and he may still end up with a ruthless blow to you in stoppage time!
But now Leon definitely can't retreat and limit Muller's play.
At the start of the second half, Chelsea put on a front-iron posture and still had to continue to attack hard.
So the neutral fans who watched this game were in for a treat.
The fierce offensive and defensive competition between the two teams in the first half continued into the second half, and it didn't look like it was going to stop at all.
In the end, Chelsea did get their second goal of the game, erasing Bayern Munich's two-goal advantage on the road.
But before that, Bayern had already scored their third goal of the game.
Mandukic opened his beard, a shocking volley side hook shot!
The Croatian centre-forward, who is also very good at tough battles, proved at this moment that he fully deserves the trust of Hayennekex.
Mandzukic was able to completely put Gomez on the bench this season, which could be the civilian center promoted by the British media before the game?
As soon as this goal was scored, Bayern Munich simply turned into the stage of shrinking the defense line and consolidating the victory.
With a two-goal lead in hand, the whole Bayern team played unhurriedly, and Chelsea's methods of breaking the bus in the past don't seem to work much on Bayern today.
After all, Bayern's double midfielders are tough enough to interfere with Chelsea's penetrating long-range shots.
In their penalty area, two tall centre-backs were also more than enough to keep Chelsea at bay.
When the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game, Li Ang had just blasted a long-range shot.
Neuer opted to play Leon's long-range shot with both hands.
After hearing the referee's whistle, Neuer rolled over from the turf and roared excitedly.
The Bayern players on the bench also rushed into the stadium with excitement.
Leon pursed the corners of his lips and took a few deep breaths with his hands on his knees, then straightened up again and paced towards his teammates.
The Premier League schedule is not over yet, but Chelsea have already won the title early, so Chelsea's campaign for the season is over after being eliminated from the Champions League.
Leon had thought he would feel very unhappy after losing to Bayern.
But at the moment, his heart was surprisingly calm.
So calm that he even had the strength and mind to comfort his teammates.
Seeing the Bayern Munich players on the opposite side excitedly celebrating the team's entry into the Champions League final again, Li Ang only felt a trance in front of him.
Last season, last season.
He and his teammates at Real Madrid are so excited to celebrate reaching the Champions League final and dreaming of winning the Champions League.
Chelsea now are like Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund back then.
Someone wins, someone loses.
There is no team, no star who can always be a winner in the world of competitive football.
Leon has always considered himself lucky to have accompanied Real Madrid in the rise of his career at an important starting point.
Over the past few seasons, he has also won the heavyweight championship trophy that many professional players would envy.
He had already tasted the taste of victory and the glory he had won.
Now facing the ups and downs and failures in the Champions League, Li Ang found that he had been able to face it calmly.
It's not an escape, and it's not that the struggle for honor has been satisfied.
Instead, his heart is always filled with trust in his own strength and anticipation for the growth prospects of the new team.
'It's a valuable lesson we learned in the Champions League, we fell this time, we can get back up better next time, come back next season, then you have to try to get stronger, Eden..."
After comforting his teammates in front of him, he finally came to the red-eyed Hazard, and Leon gave him a firm hug.
Jose Mourinho took to the pitch.
Chelsea's season is over, they didn't make it to the end of the Champions League, but Jose Mourinho couldn't be happier with his protégés.
One of the cruel things for Chelsea's veterans is that they have to slowly give up more starting time at the end of the season.
However, the young talents in the Chelsea squad will benefit from this, and they will further sharpen themselves and improve their quality.
The new Blues will also develop their potential further and have a higher ceiling.
Jose Mourinho won't make much of a purge of the team.
With the exception of veterans who want to leave on their own initiative and players who don't quite fit his philosophy, the rest of the Chelsea players who want to stay and continue to fight for the team will be offered new contract extensions.
Chelsea on the right path doesn't just need talented young talents and key stars in their prime.
Mourinho also needs leafy puzzles and experienced veterans to consolidate bench depth.
After all, there is nothing wrong with such a team building idea.
Chelsea's 2013-2014 season is over today, but Mourinho's planning and preparations for the new season have already begun.
After gathering at the scene and thanking the fans who had travelled all the way to accompany them, the Chelsea players quickly returned to the visiting dressing room.
Tonight's Munich is a city where the rest of Chelsea will not be able to sleep soundly.
So after a quick rinse and clean-up, the Chelsea players and coaching staff rushed back to London overnight.
The remaining two Premier League fixtures mean little to Chelsea's veterans.
Suarez has already scored his 30th Premier League goal of the season in the last league game against Chelsea.
Ibrahimovic currently has 22 Premier League goals and it is unlikely that he will be able to catch Suarez in two rounds.
So Ibrahimovic, like Frank Lampard, returned to London from Munich and started his holiday early.
Li Ang is because his personal data has risen to 30 goals and 28 assists, and he is still 2 assists away from achieving the achievement of double 30 plus in the season.
Therefore, in the 37th round of the Premier League on May 4, Li Ang still started and led his teammates to meet the challenge from Norwich, the league's vice-president.
The day's game was not intense, as Norwich had already been relegated two rounds before the start of this game.
Without the motivation to relegate, Norwich's players are really difficult to raise their fighting spirit in the game.
Leon is not pretentious about the fight for data.
However, in the face of an opponent who has no intention of fighting, he has no idea of collecting wool brush data.
After setting up Oscar and De Bruyne in the first half, Leon took the initiative to make a substitution gesture to Mourinho.
His season stats are just 30 goals and 30 assists.
However, his league statistics did not break through the double 20, missing one goal.
But Li Ang doesn't care much anymore, and he is already very satisfied to achieve the record of double 30 in the season.
Besides, he's been tired for a season, and it's time to relax.
For the sake of a goal, the last round of the meaningless league and the youth players in the team went to grab the starters, which is really embarrassing.
After the season finale with Norwich, Chelsea claimed the 2013-2014 Premier League trophy in front of the home fans!
On the podium, the whole Chelsea squad and fans shared the moment of celebration.
On 11 May, after the final league game of the season, Chelsea also held a victory parade in London.
Then comes the time of the happy holidays.
Li Ang took a special task assigned by Mu Shuai to start his summer training.
On May 24, Li Ang, who had completed the first phase of the training mission, set off for Lisbon, Portugal.
At the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Leon disguised himself and watched from the stands as Bayern Munich beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 to win the Champions League.
Yes, Real Madrid were also beaten 0-0 by Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final after Chelsea lost to Bayern Munich and missed out on the Champions League final.
So this season, it is not only Leon who failed to make it to the end and meet his Real Madrid teammates at the top.
Bayern Munich also failed to see their long-cherished revenge in the Champions League final.
Atletico still became a tragic hero, and in the end they could only watch Bayern reach the top in Europe.
But Leon didn't just come to Lisbon today to watch the game.
He quietly left after the game, and while checking into a nearby hotel, he texted his old friend Tony Ross, who came on as a late substitute today.
At this time, he was celebrating with his teammates, temporarily forgetting about the renewal communication with the club, and Kroos, who was full of joy, was stunned after seeing the congratulatory text message sent by Li Ang.
Back in Munich that night, at the team's celebration banquet, Tony Ross's interest seemed to be affected by Leon's text message.
When he got home, Cross didn't call his agent first, he wanted to think about it for himself first.
But as soon as he closed his eyes that night, the straightforward and generous seduction on Leon's text message would come to his mind......
"TK, brother, the boss here is generous, the salary is good, and more importantly, there are famous handsomes and brothers I am, brothers know that what you want is not money, but respect! It's just right, we have enough respect and money here!
And you've already helped Bayern win the Champions League, and you've done your best! I believe that you can eat anywhere, and sooner or later the Bayern hierarchy will regret their attitude towards you.
A new life and the road of honor are waiting for you in London, we have to recruit in the summer, and continue to rush for the triple crown next year, Mu Shuai misses you tightly, and my brother is also looking forward to cooperating with you, come quickly, come quickly......"
