Chapter 364: It's the little lion who saves Real Madrid in adversity!

Manchester City fans were dizzy by Leon, this guy disgusted Manchester City on the field for a whole game, and he made a weird speech after the game.

It would be a bit of a stretch to say that Leon didn't mean to, and it was clearly a shot back at the Manchester City fans who booed him for the whole game.

But what if everyone knew about it?

Leon and Chelsea won this crucial game at Manchester City's home stadium, and that's all that matters!

If he loses, then everything he says at this point is like a quibble, but he wins, so he is qualified to speak back and can't find fault at all.

The Manchester City fans are very uncomfortable, and the Manchester City players are very uncomfortable, but they will only have to endure it.

Want to get the yard back?

That will only have to wait for the second half of the league to fight with Chelsea......

As soon as this focus battle ended, Chelsea, who forcibly gnawed Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, suddenly became the invincible hegemon of the Premier League as advertised by the British media.

Manchester City, who suffered their first defeat in the league of the new season, also gave up the top spot in the Premier League.

However, the whole Manchester City team did not have much time to frustrate this, because the Champions League group stage was quickly rekindled after this round of league games.

Manchester City are currently in Champions League Group D with three wins and one defeat, and are on a good track record of qualifying from the group.

However, they lost to Juventus in the second round of the group stage, and Juve are currently only one point behind Manchester City with two wins and two draws, and are temporarily second in the group.

Therefore, this round of the group stage is crucial for the whole Manchester City team.

They will have to pick up at least one point against Juventus in order to secure the right to top the group in the final round.

In contrast, Chelsea's European task is much easier.

The Blues will travel to Wolfsburg away from home in this round of group stage, as Real Madrid drew with Wolfsburg in the last round of the group stage, so Real Madrid are now second in the group with only five points, and Chelsea have already secured the right to qualify for the top spot in the group.

Therefore, Mourinho also rotated most of the main players in this round of the Champions League group stage, leading a Chelsea team that was almost a pure substitute to rush to the away side.

The Champions League Death Group played such a huge disparity in points today, which was also something that countless neutral fans did not expect before the start of the new season of the Champions League.

Real Madrid only accumulated 5 points after the four rounds of the group stage, but this kind of performance and points can rank second in the group, at first glance this group is indeed enough "death".

But looking at Chelsea, which is at the top of the table with 12 points after winning all four games, fans who may have lamented that this group is difficult to play in the last second will have to spray Real Madrid and other competitors are "rookies pecking at each other" in the next second.

But overall, Real Madrid's four rounds of group games are actually not very bad.

The defeat to Chelsea was a regrettable defeat, the draw against CSKA Moscow was a loss to the weather, and the draw with Wolfsburg in the last round of the group stage was a pure loss to luck.

After all, Real Madrid led Wolfsburg 2-0 for a full 80 minutes, and in the last ten minutes of the game, Wolfsburg scored two refracted goals in succession!

On Real Madrid's side, Ronaldo grabbed the middle post, but as long as he was lucky, Real Madrid didn't have to suffer such a bizarre draw.

If I have to explain, Real Madrid's forced draw is understandable, but more neutral fans who only look at the result don't buy it.

The rhetoric of "Chelsea hammered Wolfsburg and CSKA to the ground, and you will try to make excuses for losing points" left the Meilings speechless.

And regardless of whether it was luck or other reasons for not getting enough points, now Real Madrid has indeed come to a difficult point anyway.

They have five points and Wolfsburg have four, and Chelsea have no desire to take on Wolfsburg in this group stage, and they will have to fight CSKA Moscow who still have a chance of qualifying......

Which side is easy to fight and which side is not easy to fight, but you can see it at a glance!

And Real Madrid fans really don't have the right to let Chelsea and Wolfsburg fight again.

Chelsea has already qualified for the top spot in the group, and the league has only finished fighting strong opponents, and this round of the group stage must be rested.

You can't just fight for Wolfsburg for the sake of your Real Madrid qualifying rights, right?

Many pessimistic Real Madrid fans have even decided that Wolfsburg will beat substitute Chelsea to get three more points in this group stage.

They can only pray now that their players will not drop the chain again, and must win CSKA Moscow firmly and continue to control the right to qualify from the group

As for whether they will be able to beat unbeaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the final round, let fate decide!

On the evening of 24 November, Chelsea, who had played almost exclusively as a substitute for Wolfsburg, made their debut at the Volkswagen Arena.

In order to allow the main players to rest more fully, Mourinho only selected two main players when the 18-man squad was determined before the game, and the other main players stayed in London to rest.

The two unlucky ones who were selected were naturally Leon and Nemanja Matic, who is currently in good physical condition.

However, neither of them started today, and when the game officially started, they were sitting on the bench and chatting with each other.

Jose Mourinho sat in the dugout, watching the substitutes who started today's game.

He doesn't have too many requirements for the result of today's game, anyway, it is an away game, as long as the substitute players all show their hard work and play their technical characteristics, it will be completely OK.

He has no hope of winning, it is best to draw, and if he doesn't draw, as long as he doesn't lose too ugly, that's fine.

However, Chelsea's coaching staff are relaxed and do not demand much from the regular substitutes and the youngsters who have been promoted from the second team.

But these youngsters and substitutes still have a lot of pressure to play, after all, they are playing in the Champions League today!

This is not an English domestic League Cup, and in the Champions League, their performance will be seen and judged by more people.

When they think of this, they can't do it even if they want to relax.

So after Wolfsburg pressed Chelsea across the board, the players who started for Chelsea today were reluctant.

As soon as this player is nervous, it is easy to make mistakes in the confrontation, let alone play to his technical advantages at this time.

can't bear the pressure, fouls are frequent, and it's hard to even play their own best quick counterattacks......

Mourinho watched the performance of the players on the pitch and frowned again and again on the bench.

He is much more patient with developing young players now than he was back then, but to be honest, it is difficult for a patient manager to endure the current situation of the game!

Just into the 17th minute of the first half, Chelsea conceded the first goal of the game.

Loftus-Cheek made a reckless tackle in midfield, but he didn't stop it, but he lost his defensive position!

Van Ginkel immediately made up for Draxler, who had passed Loftus-Cheek, but the German talented winger's through ball was sent first!

Kreuzer was very successful in the old anti-offside position, got rid of Zouma's marking, and easily got a one-on-one chance.

Begovic couldn't save his team this time around, and was denied a low shot by Kreuzer.

This way of conceding the ball not only made Mourinho shake his head again and again, but also Leon and Matic who were sitting on the bench were somewhat speechless.

"Reuben's head is still not open, how can he concede the ball in that position?!"

"It's not that he's not open-minded, he's just having a problem with his thinking, and if you let him defend honestly, he can't defend him, and he still wants to break the ball and push to the front court to participate in the attack."

"This kid is really a waste of his physical talent, such a good seedling who plays the back waist, why does he always like to thrust forward......"

After Leon and Matic complained twice, they couldn't help but think of the face of Brother Khedira back then.

They also have a tall and sturdy body, and they also seem to have outstanding beast waist talents, but they are also always concerned about their unremarkable forward inserts...

If Loftus-Cheek is willing to settle down and hone his defensive skills, he will have a chance to start in the future, even if he can't establish himself at Chelsea.

But if he can't get rid of his bad habit of always losing his position, then his future ceiling will definitely be dragged down by himself.

Although Lao Mu did not succeed in transforming his face, he finally excavated Li Ang and made a hard midfield trio.

It can be regarded as avoiding Brother Face's technical shortcomings as much as possible on the field and giving full play to his technical strengths.

But now Loftus-Cheek hasn't even figured out the Premier League, and he doesn't have the opportunity to enjoy the tactics of the Chelsea coaching staff.

He can only take the initiative to adapt to the tactical requirements of the coaching staff and do his own auxiliary work like Li Ang at the beginning, so that he can have the opportunity to further gain more tactical authority.

However, looking at Loftus-Cheek's recent performances on the field, Chelsea fans don't expect him to become the "Chelsea version of the little lion" anyway.

Proper ball quotient gap, Chelsea's coaching staff can be regarded as giving him a chance, but he is useless!

The Wolfsburg fans at the Volkswagen Arena celebrated.

In the midst of jubilation, Mourinho made a gesture to signal the players on the field not to be in a hurry and to play calmly.

He won't replace Loftus-Cheek right away, he will give him the opportunity he should give, and he still expects Loftus-Cheek to be open-minded.

Terry, who started as captain on the field today, also calmed the emotions of his young teammates.

However, when the game resumed, John Terry and Jose Mourinho found that the young Chelsea players on the pitch were still unable to cope well with Wolfsburg's continuous pressure.

A Loftus-Cheek who has always lost his defensive position, plus a young left-back Baba who was almost blown out by Draxler in terms of match-up today.

The two were not able to function properly, and Chelsea were not just affected defensively.

After all, the number of ball regains is too small, and Gnabry and Salah, who are waiting for a counterattack in front, are useless even if they are strong in their individual ability!

It's rare for Chelsea to be completely suppressed by their opponents on the pitch, and it is difficult to even fight back.

Quite a few Real Madrid fans who specially watched this game today chose to switch back in advance to watch the match between Real Madrid and CSKA in advance.

In the 34th minute of the first half, when Draxler broke through Baba and scored hard to help Wolfsborg extend their lead, more Real Madrid fans naturally gave up on the Chelsea side of the game.

However, Real Madrid and CSKA Moscow temporarily played into a 1-1 draw, and the Meilings can be described as extremely anxious!

It wasn't until the start of the second half that Chelsea came to the news that Leon had come on to replace Loftus-Cheek, and Real Madrid fans had a lot of hope again!

Leon's appearance is actually a small probability event, and Mourinho didn't want Leon and Matic to have a chance to play in this game.

But Wolfsburg is too unruly!

With a two-goal lead at half-time, it's almost enough, and Wolfsburg narrowed the formation early to control the field or play defensive counter-attack, so Mourinho will admit today's defeat.

But after leading by two goals, Wolfsburg is still attacking wildly, putting on a posture that has to play the Chelsea tragedy, which makes Mourinho unacceptable!

I'll give you face first, you don't want it, then I'm sorry, don't be angry if I lift the table!

So as soon as the break ended, Mourinho sent Leon on first, and Matic also warmed up slowly on the sidelines at the beginning of the second half.

Such a change made it difficult for the Wolfsburg fans at home to cheer enthusiastically.

As soon as Leon came on the pitch, he moved closer to the left wing and directly helped Baba, who was suddenly made into a sieve by Draxler in the first half, to fill the defensive hole.

After Draxler saw Leon's position, he immediately chose to switch positions with his teammates and ran to their left side, which can be regarded as decisive.

After consolidating his own defence, Leon took over the playmaking from his young midfield team-mate Piasson.

He didn't cut forward easily, and first sorted out the ball in the middle and back, so that Van Ginkel could comfortably participate in the organization and scheduling link.

After Wolfsburg did not give up and pressed the whole team again, he took the ball to get rid of it and launched a long counterattack!

In the 59th minute of the second half, Leon's flat and fast long pass accurately found Llorente, who was in a standing position.

After the Spanish high school striker won the football steadily, he smoothly transferred the ball to the right side.

Salah has been holding back for half a half at this time and didn't play very well, and after successfully getting the ball, he faced Wolfsburg left-back Rodriguez, Salah didn't talk about any technical skills, and just took the sideline to overtake!

Rodriguez is also one of the top three left-backs in the Bundesliga at this time, and he is not bad, and he has not directly lost his defensive position after desperately chasing back.

Salah didn't do anything to see this, decisively smashed the ball and knocked it back into the middle.

At this time, Leon, who was inserted at this time, directly withstood the defensive interference of Wolfsburg midfielder Traesch, and forced an unreasonable strong advance!

Seeing that Leon was about to enter his range, the defenders of Wolfsburg couldn't help but move closer to his side.

But just as they were moving massively, Leon sent another wide range of transfer balls to the left!

Gnabry, who had been patiently waiting for his chance, made no mistakes, and after a near-perfect offload, he went straight to the ground and then sent a slalom cross into the Wolfsburg penalty area very comfortably!

Leon followed up on the front of the Wolfsburg penalty area, and Dante scrambled to get past him, but the ball eventually flew over their heads.

At this moment, at the back of the Wolfsburg penalty area, Llorente has already jumped high against the crowd and came to a full stretch of his head to attack the goal!

Wolfsburg's goalkeeper Castels, who started today, pounced on the back post at this moment!

But Llorente's header was powerful and he was too close to goal!

In an instant, the ball crashed into the net behind the Wolfsburg goal!

Li Ang didn't even finish fifteen minutes of play after coming on the court, but he had already made contributions at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and successfully instigated a counterattack to pull a goal back!

Seeing that the football entered the net, Li Ang did not choose to celebrate, but rushed into the goal of Wolfsburg with a sullen head, picked up the football and ran to the kick-off point!

He is not satisfied with saving face in the slightest, he also wants to continue to score goals, get points and even win at Wolfsburg's home stadium!

The morale of the whole Chelsea team was boosted!

Llorente also roared in celebration while following in Leon's footsteps to return to the half!

The Wolfsburg fans at home were in turmoil at the moment, while many Meilingge in front of the TV were looking at Leon's firm back with tears in their eyes!

It's been almost two years, but Leon is still able to "save" Real Madrid in the face of adversity!

Who can understand this feeling!
