Leon's high praise for Liverpool after the game quickly caught the attention of a large number of Premier League fans.

After all, although Li Ang likes to say polite things in interviews, it is very rare to compliment a Premier League competition team and a new Premier League manager.

Liverpool fans were of course very happy to hear it.

Li Ang's mouth is "open", and he has a high eye for the coach.

Now even he thinks that Klopp will be successful at Liverpool, which is more or less a testament to the reliability of Liverpool's vision of hiring a new coach this time.

However, other neutral Premier League fans are skeptical of Klopp's success in the Premier League.

Being able to bring the Hornets Dortmund in the Bundesliga does not necessarily bring out a young and powerful team in the Premier League.

The Premier League's schedule is so tight and difficult that in the eyes of many Premier League fans, it is completely incomparable to the Bundesliga.

Whether you have real skills or not, in the end, you have to rely on your grades to speak.

From the point of view of public opinion attention and topicality, Leon's praise of Klopp can be regarded as a disservice.

Originally, not many Premier League fans thought that Klopp could take Liverpool out of the quagmire directly if he took over halfway, and his relaxed public opinion environment was also because he did not have any expectations.

But now Leon's boast has attracted more attention to Liverpool and Klopp than before.

Of course, Leon didn't mean to push Liverpool to the forefront, he usually has a black belly, but he doesn't have a black belly to this extent.

In general, he still liked Klopp's coaching tactics and Liverpool's style of play at the back, so he expressed his expectations a little.

When he looked back, he forgot about it, and he didn't pay attention to the changes in public opinion on the Internet, and devoted himself to the preparation and training for the Champions League group stage.

Chelsea have just three and a half days to recuperate after this league game with Liverpool in mind, and they will host CSKA Moscow on 4 November.

Without the help of harsh weather, CSKA's hard power on the pitch is actually second-rate in Europe.

Visiting at Stamford Bridge, they couldn't put too much psychological pressure on the Chelsea players.

Chelsea's current lead in the Group of Death is clear.

After losing to Chelsea in the first round of the Champions League, Real Madrid drew with CSKA in Moscow in the second round and won at home to Wolfsburg in the third round.

Real Madrid, who now have four points, are second in the group, while Wolfsburg, who are third in the group, only won CSKA Moscow in the first three rounds of the group stage.

The points gap between the two teams is not big now, and it can even be said that the points gap between CSKA Moscow, which won a draw in the first three rounds of the group stage, and their two teams is not large!

As long as they can seize the opportunity to play well in the last three rounds of the group stage, CSKA Moscow also has a good chance of successfully breaking through this group of death.

For example, in this round of group stage against Chelsea, who have won all three games and accumulated nine points, as long as CSKA Moscow can get points, then they still have the last hope of qualifying.

Even if the probability of retreating from Stamford Bridge is not very large, the whole CSKA Moscow team is full of energy to spell out a miracle!

And Real Madrid and Wolfsburg, who also have to fight for victory and defeat in this round of the group stage, now have completely different moods.

Real Madrid certainly won't be pinning their hopes of progressing from the group on their rivals and will be delighted to see CSKA Moscow beat Chelsea in this round of the group stage.

After all, they would be able to accumulate seven points after taking out Wolfsburg and quickly close the gap on Chelsea.

But for Wolfsburg, they would have liked to see Chelsea beat CSKA Moscow even more.

To put it mildly, this is at least a guarantee that they can continue to play in the Europa League in the future.

Whether they can win or not is another matter, but now they are extremely insecure, and they would like to see CSKA Moscow directly out of this group of deaths ahead of schedule.

No way, if playing in the Champions League is compared to a delicious cake, then playing in the Europa League is the same filling cake for clubs in the middle of the continent.

Going out of the Champions League but still playing in the Europa League would be acceptable for the whole Wolfsburg team.

This difference in morale may have doomed them to the outcome of their group stage match with Real Madrid.

In contrast, the Russian players in CSKA Moscow thought very little about the scoring.

They just want to play Chelsea with a bang now!

Winning the upset and creating a miracle, the brothers celebrated together after returning to Moscow.

If you lose, you won't be sorry.

After all, the moment they were drawn into the group of death in the group stage draw, they had actually expected today's result.

CSKA Moscow's players were more or less resolute at Stamford Bridge on 4 November.

Not only did they adopt proactive attacking tactics, but they even kept the home team Chelsea at bay for part of the first half!

This brave tactical choice was something that the whole Chelsea team admired, so they didn't hold back.

After exhausting as much energy as possible from CSKA Moscow's starters in the first half, it took just 20 minutes for Chelsea to score three goals in a row to cost a brave CSKA Moscow side......

Counting the counter-attacking goal in the 37th minute of the first half, it took Chelsea just over 60 minutes to defeat CSKA Moscow's qualification hopes with four goals.

The scene was a bit tragic, but in the laughter of Stamford Bridge, CSKA Moscow's main players fought until the last moment.

In the end, the score of the Champions League group stage, which was almost lost before the game, was fixed at 5-1.

Chelsea ushered in four consecutive wins in the group stage, and at the same time, they almost locked the right to qualify for the top spot in the group ahead of schedule!

Even if Real Madrid win again away at Wolfsburg, they now have no room to go for top of the group with just seven points.

However, Wolfsburg, who have three points, still need to do their best in the last two rounds of the Champions League group stage to make a final fight for their slim chance of qualifying.

Chelsea's early right to qualify for the group of death was expected by a large number of fans.

However, these fans did not expect that Chelsea would be able to play four consecutive wins in one go, and simply leave Real Madrid far behind.

This made some black-bellied fans can't help but discuss on the Internet forum again, whether UEFA will continue to "artificial obstacles" for Chelsea in the future.

For example, let Chelsea, who finished first in the group, draw the strongest group runners-up team in the first round of the knockout round?

Judging from UEFA's urine, they have completely done this kind of thing, what did they do to give everyone Arsenal to Huo Huo back then!

However, Chelsea's players are too lazy to pay attention to whether there is a draw behind the scenes.

Now that their goal this season is to defend the Champions League with all their might, there is no reason to run away from any of their opponents.

It doesn't matter who he draws next, it's all over the place!

It's not their style to look ahead and backwards, and they are now recognized by fans as the best team in Europe, and other teams are afraid to meet them.

Li Ang didn't think about who the subsequent Champions League knockout draw would be in the dark anyway.

The fixtures of Premier League teams with European tasks in recent times are too tight.

After playing this round of European group stage, these teams have hardly rested and prepared, and then they will face the tough challenge of the twelfth round of the Premier League.

The total break may not be two days, which makes the manager of the Premier League European team with average bench depth worry in his head.

Chelsea's situation is a little better, but now Mourinho is also privately scolding the FA for not doing anything!

After the last round of the Premier League and Champions League group stages, many of Chelsea's key players need to rotate and rest.

Even though they may not feel physically tired themselves, in fact, after being examined by the team doctor, their tense muscles have reached a critical point that needs to be soothed and relaxed.

So on November 7, Chelsea at home to Stoke City were not in their prime.

Suarez, De Bruyne, Kroos and Thiago Silva will be rested directly at the suggestion of the team doctor.

Kieran Trippier sprained his ankle in pre-match training and had to withdraw from the starting line-up for the time being.

Leon had to pick up the burden of both ends of the pitch again, with a number of substitutes at home and Stoke City.

Looking at the standings alone, Stoke City, which has only 13 points from 11 league games, 3 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, is not in very good shape.

But this team has the same urine as Liverpool in the past.

That is, playing in the league against a weak team, he may only be resigned, but as soon as he encounters a strong team, they will turn into a hard stubble Xiaoqiang who can't be killed!

Stoke City exploded against Chelsea today.

Shaqiri was in fine form and was on target in the opening stages of the game against Bertrand's marking.

In addition, today's little brother Matic's state is relatively average, and Chelsea's left-half defense was stunned by Shaqiri's forced gap!

Seeing this, Li Ang decisively chose to switch positions with Xiao Ma, but his side had just pressed Shaqiri's play, and Arnautovic on the other side became active again.

What's even more fucking up is that after he pulled the side to fill in the holes in his team's defense, Van Ginkkel, who took his position, didn't keep an eye on Bojan's movement.

So in the 20th minute of the first half, Bojan successfully received the return ball from his own center Walters and hit the right rib area of the Chelsea half!

Maguire had no choice but to strike early and try to intercept Bojan's dribbling advance.

But Bojan gave Arnautovic a chance to get on the edge of the Chelsea penalty area with a clear-cut shot!

The Austrian striker was very confident in the moment and fired into the far corner of the Chelsea goal.

His shot is fast, has a beautiful arc, and the angle of his shot is also very tricky!

Oblak did his best to make a save, but there was nothing he could do in the face of Arnautovic's goal, which was completely a 10-corner shot!

It is very rare for Chelsea to fall behind early on at home turf.

Mourinho frowned as he watched from the sidelines.

The substitutes who started the game today didn't seem to be in great shape, and such ups and downs are normal for a long season.

But at the same time, several substitutes have the problem of ups and downs, which is very bad!

Kroos was the only one of the main players who was rotated and rested, and he was named in the 18-man squad today.

Mourinho just wants to make a substitution later, and there are not many options.

Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge were also a little worried as they watched the odds go against the game.

That's the biggest difference between experienced veterans and young players.

When it comes to adjusting their form, it's really hard for young players to compare with veterans.

At the critical moment, Chelsea fans on the scene and in front of the TV still subconsciously focused on Leon.

And Leon was already pulling Llorente and Hazard in advance to do urgent communication.

After the game restarted, Leon controlled the ball and did not rush forward to attack immediately.

It wasn't until he stabilized the initiative in the midfield that he slowly pressed with his teammates in the midfield.

And at this time, the offensive tactics he chose were very simple, not blindly looking for winger teammates, but directly hoisting the ball to Llorente, who took a good position in the Stoke City half!

Llorente used his tall and strong frame to build a solid bridgehead for Chelsea in attack.

And his steady sharing of the ball also allowed Chelsea to directly transition the midfield management and organization, and soon played a direct and effective attack in the Stoke City half!

This style of play is no stranger to long-time Chelsea fans.

After all, when "Mu Phase I" was at the beginning, Chelsea used Drogba's strong fulcrum ability to play such an offensive routine.

Li Ang also had a rare retro on the offensive end, playing a long pass rushing tactic.

Eden Hazard and Mohamed Salah repeatedly attacked Stoke City's back line on both flanks, and soon suppressed Stoke City's quick counter-attacks on the wings.

However, just after Stoke City gradually became familiar with Chelsea's attacking model, Leon suddenly became difficult.

The thirty-eighth minute of the first half. He ceded the organizational power to Van Ginkel and he himself stepped forward decisively!

Van Ginkel's long pass accuracy is still good, and Llorente also chose not to stop the ball very tacitly after seeing Leang's forward action, and directly came to a header ferry!

The ball swept past Stoke's back two almost instantaneously.

And Leon also sounded the alarm for Stoke City's backline with a near-perfect offload in the process of plugging in at high speed!

Shawcross signaled his centre-back partner Walscheid to make a move to intercept Leon.

But when Leon faced the slightly slower German central defender, he did not choose to share the ball as usual, but directly stepped on the bicycle and burst into the ball, passing him in one step!

Walscheid was half a beat slower, and Leon got past him and got the ball on the line of the penalty area almost directly facing Stoke City's goalkeeper Butland!

Before Shaw Closes was in place, Leon opted for a decisive and powerful volley!

With a terrifying force, the ball roared straight under the crossbar of the Stoke City goal and bounced into the net!

And Batra didn't even react yet, so he could only watch his goal being breached!

After the goal, Leon slapped his chest hard at the Chelsea fans in the stands who were jubilating and churning!

As if to firmly promise the fans:

'Trust us, no team can take the three points from Stamford Bridge!'
