Chapter 338: The Six Champions Are Not the Ceiling of Football Yet, We Want to Be the Seven Crowns!

If it is not strictly examined, Li Ang can be regarded as scoring a goal of 5 people in a row this time.

His skills are not so flashy and agile from beginning to end, but more show the perfect combination of his current body and technique.

There are smart dribbling, and there are also tough confrontations.

Leon's attacking style is actually the same as that of his manager Jose Mourinho.

Focus on practicality and not formality.

To be able to see this kind of wonderful goal in the dialogue between the strong and the strong is a pleasure for more neutral fans.

However, Manchester City supporters will not be happy at all.

Leon suddenly showed an evolutionary side again, and this reality made them emotionally explode.

They haven't won against Chelsea since Leon moved to Chelsea two seasons ago.

Among them, Mourinho's tactics are naturally in place, and Chelsea's tactical play is also a factor that restrains Manchester City.

But what Manchester City fans feel more directly is the "cruel reality" that Leon will explode every time he plays Manchester City.

Such topics are always talked about by the British media who like to play on the topic.

Leon has made it clear in an interview that it is because Manchester City are strong enough and he likes to play with strong opponents.

At that time, Li Ang vigorously denied the personal grievances speculated by various British media.

But now Manchester City fans don't want to keep any sanity anymore, because it looks like a personal vendetta against TMD!

Otherwise, I can't explain it!

There are so many strong teams in Europe, not to mention the Premier League, Chelsea has played in the Champions League in the past two seasons, and Li Ang also played explosively as soon as he met Barcelona.

So the facts are very simple and clear, Leon is a dead hand as soon as he encounters a team related to the former Universe Barcelona!

The reason is quite sufficient, he is from the Real Madrid academy!

Isn't it normal to play Barcelona and Pep Guardiola's team explosively?

Manchester City fans have already made up in their minds the reasonable reasons why Leon came to the ground as soon as he beat Manchester City.

Don't say it, maybe there are many neutral fans who believe this theory on the Internet.

But Li Ang didn't think about it that way in his heart.

If you want to talk about playing Barcelona, the reason for his strength may have a little bit to do with this theory, because he does have a holiday with Barcelona fans on the Internet.

But for Manchester City, or for Guardiola, he has no hostility at all.

Purely because in recent seasons Manchester City have been Chelsea's number one rival within the Premier League.

So every time he plays against Manchester City, he forces himself to play to the limit of his ability.

It has also proved that he is right in the importance of Manchester City and Pep Guardiola.

This Manchester City team is still evolving, and if you don't carefully suppress them every time you play them, you'll be the one who will be the one who will be defeated.

Against such an opponent, it is certainly right to go all out, and to respect them is to respect yourself.

At this moment, Li Ang did not get complacent because he scored a wonderful goal.

After ending the passionate celebration with his teammates, he tightened the captain's armband on his arm, and then clapped his teammates to keep their heads cool.

Suarez looked at Leang, who quickly suppressed his emotions at this time, and his face regained his sanity, and he thought in a trance that he was still in Liverpool.

Leon in front of him seems to have become Gerrard, who is still boosting the morale of his teammates...

"Louis?"

Leon looked at Suarez, who was staring at him at this time, and seemed to be a little stunned, and kindly reminded him.

"Ahh I'm sorry, I just thought ......"

"It's okay, you did a good job on the offensive end today! Come on, I'll try to pass you more. ”

Leon's reply made Suarez stunned again.

Because in his first season when he joined Liverpool and did not play too well, Gerrard often comforted him on the pitch......

didn't dare to continue to think about it, and after removing the sentimentality in his heart, Suarez suddenly grinned at Leang.

"Okay, Captain!"

Seeing this, Li Ang also smiled and nodded to Suarez.

He only thought that Suarez was a little nervous at this moment, and he had no doubt about Suarez's strength.

After the game resumed, Leon signaled his teammates in midfield to settle down first to consolidate the defense.

Several Chelsea players up front were also very active in defending first.

Instead of battling City for control of the midfield, Chelsea have moved on to their favourite and most hated counter-attacking aspect of Manchester City fans.

Pep Guardiola is sitting in the dugout at the moment, and his mood is quite stable, at least compared to the players with sad faces on the Manchester City bench now, he is still very calm.

After all, he was a top handsome who witnessed Li Ang's growth all the way.

In the past two seasons, Leon has also accelerated the development of offensive skills, and Guardiola has always been concerned about him.

So when he saw that Leon really had the ability to tear apart the opponent's defense alone, Guardiola quickly calmed down after a short period of surprise.

Leon has brought him too many "surprises", even if the next time the two teams meet again, Mourinho uses Leon to play as a striker, Guardiola feels that he can accept it.

The goal has already been conceded anyway, and no amount of frustration will help.

It's better to seize the time and think about how to adjust the tactics in the remaining game time to limit Li Ang's further play.

And he and his coaching staff have also made tactical improvements to the team in the offseason.

Last season they could have been very worried about Chelsea taking the lead, but that's no longer the case.

At least compared to last season, Manchester City are not so afraid of Chelsea hitting their counter-attacks.

Because after practicing the high pressing tactics for a summer, and spending a lot of effort to train the physical fitness of Manchester City's main players.

Pep Guardiola believes that Manchester City have adapted to the rhythm of a game that continues to be full of attack and defence and focuses on quick returns.

So there's no need to worry too much about the current Manchester City players not being able to sustain the intensity of the game against Chelsea.

They will still invest more on the offensive end, and high pressing is also a completely correct tactical idea.

Because both Bayern Munich and Chelsea have proven it with their Champions League titles over the past two seasons.

After focusing on the defensive issue, Pep Guardiola believes that his team can also grow to the same height as Chelsea as soon as possible!

It's not that he's conceited, it's because he's built this new Manchester City team with the right set of players and tactical thinking that keeps up with the times.

Chelsea have a lot of talented young players in the squad, and so does his squad!

In today's Community Shield match, Manchester City is likely to still lose.

But as long as you can play the game to show the momentum of Chelsea.

If you can make the new players in the team stand up to the idea that they have the quality to compete with Chelsea, then Guardiola is very satisfied!

With this in mind, Pep Guardiola is very Buddhist in his pursuit of today's results.

His calmness surprised even Sky Sports commentators.

Mourinho didn't see what his old friend was thinking about today.

But his instincts told him it wasn't going to be a good thing.

'City's style of play has changed a bit, they've been much tighter defensively than they used to be, and they're now more able to cover their midfield with their backs.

If Leon hadn't scored the first goal, I feel like we would have played until the second half of today's game..."

Holland's voice came from his side, and Mourinho nodded subconsciously when he heard this.

And at this moment on the field, the Chelsea players are also clearly aware of the continuous attacking pressure that Manchester City exerts on them!

Manchester City's players on the pitch are steadfast in their execution of the tactical strategy laid out by Pep Guardiola before the game.

They didn't back down because they conceded the goal first, and they didn't have the sudden confusion of the whole team's tactical thinking last season.

Leon also felt a little tricky, but he didn't show his thoughts about the situation of the game on his facial expressions.

At least on the surface, he's quite calm at the moment, which can give his teammates more confidence.

Kroos is a bit more able to read the game than any other Chelsea player.

Li Ang can see the situation of the game at the moment, of course he can see it.

However, at critical moments, Kroos, like his current teammates, is more willing to trust the tactical judgment made by Leon!

Chelsea are still in a defensive rhythm of shrinking formations.

But when Leon made a tactical gesture to Kroos, Chelsea were destined to make some tactical changes under the stormy attack of Manchester City at this moment.

Leon wants to withstand the pressure and find opportunities to counter-attack, and he doesn't want Manchester City to keep Chelsea under siege so smoothly.

Now Manchester City's performance is almost unaffected by conceding goals and is still actively looking for attacking opportunities, which is really abnormal!

Leon felt the need to "cool them down".

Even if the counter-attack can't give Chelsea any more goals to extend their lead, it can at least interrupt City's current red-hot attacking momentum!

The necessary tactical risks are worth taking.

And if the situation is not right, Mu Shuai will also make tactical adjustments in time.

Li Ang is not worried that his head coach will not see as well as himself in the long term in the tactical game.

Thinking of this, he was also bold, changing the way he played with Matic to stick to the backcourt and squatting defense, and began to press forward more actively to find steal opportunities!

Mourinho quickly saw a shift in Leon's defensive style off the pitch, raising an eyebrow but not saying much.

Instead, I cheered up and observed the changes in the situation on the field more carefully.

Leon's proactive defensive pressure was like a clarion call for a tactical change, and the Chelsea players at the back also cooperated with him to press more actively.

The fast-paced offense and defense made the players on both teams consume a lot of energy at this moment.

But the fans in front of the TV are too addicted.

This kind of fast-paced master duel scene is indeed something they really like to see.

Manchester City did show more blood in terms of confrontation than last season.

However, Chelsea have been immersed in the field of crazy running and pressing tactics for two years, and at the moment, they can still cut the ball from the feet of the Manchester City players at the foot of the physical hard top.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Raheem Sterling made a forced error on the flank and played the ball back to Kroos, who was in front of him for an interception.

Leon started to cut forward as soon as possible, and Kroos's through ball was just right.

In the next moment, Li Ang, who touched the ball, did not continue to dribble forward, but directly sent a long pass over the top of more than 40 meters!

If Ibrahimovic hadn't left the team, there was a good chance that he would be able to get stuck in position in the face of this long pass sent by Leon at this moment, and then split the ball to the side.

But at the head of Chelsea's formation at the moment has become Suarez.

In the face of this pass sent by Leon, his first reaction was not to protect the ball and divide the side, but to continue to advance with the ball after unloading!

This is not a wrong choice, because Suarez does have the ability to advance with the ball.

It's just that Chelsea's attacking players have become accustomed to a set attacking routine in the previous two seasons.

So at this time, Hazard and De Bruyne also ran more to the wing, rather than moving closer to the middle to meet Suarez at the first time.

Suarez, who was caught up by Fernandinho, saw that his teammates on the side were far away from him, and finally had no choice but to stop advancing with the ball and wait for his follow-up teammates to follow.

This undoubtedly delayed Chelsea's counter-attack significantly.

But fortunately, at this moment, Leon's forward insertion was very timely, and Suarez also withstood Fernandinho's defensive interference, and after careful observation, he used his heel to smooth the ball to Leon who continued to advance!

The Chelsea counterattack chariot, which had some minor problems, continued to roar at this moment!

Leon's push forced Gundogan to drop his zone forward to interfere defensively.

And just when Gundogan took the initiative to intercept Xiang Li Ang, Li Ang's decisive and spicy ball also appeared in the live broadcast camera again!

"Leon sent a long diagonal pass! What a ball! Kolarov couldn't get the ball in the air and De Bruyne's place was empty! ”

The commentator of Sky Sports England lengthened the tone of his commentary at this moment, and many fans in front of the TV were also nervous and anticipating for a while!

De Bruyne, who continued to plug in at high speed after winning the ball, calmly and quickly observed the situation inside and outside the Manchester City penalty area at the moment.

Suarez rushed headlong to the back of the Manchester City penalty area, and De Bruyne saw this and decisively sent his cross at this moment!

However, the direction of his cross was not Suarez's running direction, but Manchester City's penalty area!

After this Kompany was taken away by Suarez's running, in the face of Otamendi's marking, Leon's heart was full of confidence!

After a full kick jump, Leon and Otamendi came to a hard-nosed battle in the penalty area!

In the end, he still had the advantage of rushing to the top and hit the football first, but this time he did not directly shake his head to attack the goal, but chose to head the ferry!

The ball was rubbed into the middle of the penalty area by him.

And Suarez, who seemed to have been targeted to death by Kompany before, but never gave up running to find a second chance, also came out of the ghostly turn at this time!

He didn't stop the ball, and directly chose to volley!

The ball flew straight into the near corner of the Manchester City goal!

Bravo was still nervously watching Leon's header, so how could he sprint from the other end of the goal to make a save?!

When he saw the football enter the Manchester City goal without any suspense, Li Ang was also secretly relieved.

He looked up at Suarez, who had scored this goal confidently, and the latter was also pointing at him at this time, with an extremely bright smile on his face!

"Shoot nicely, Luis!"

"Hahaha! I knew you could notice my run, and you were the one who passed well! ”

The two laughed and hugged around the bottom line in celebration!

After a while, the other Chelsea midfielders also ran over and hugged them passionately to celebrate!

Their eyes were blazing, and they didn't shy away from the desire for championship glory in their celebratory words!

Six crowns?

That's not the ceiling of football glory.

Because this year's Chelsea are making great strides towards the achievement of the seven crowns!
