Time flies, and several cold summers have passed since that conversation to untie Li Ang's psychological baggage.

But at this moment, Master Belleron's heartfelt consolation appeared in front of Leon more clearly than ever.

But time did not allow Leon to have a moment of thought at this moment, and the whistle from reality also made him sober up again...

"The race is on! Dear viewers, you are now tuning in to the UEFA Champions League 2015-2016 season ......"

At this moment, commentators from various countries also recited their unique opening remarks of the game.

The global ratings for today's game can be described as pretty good.

After all, the other Champions League knockout match that aired at the same time as this game was nothing more than a "rookie peck" between Benfica and Zenit.

Comparing the two games, countless neutral fans can't even find a reason not to watch the dialogue between the two major league giants, Chelsea and Grand Paris.

And the strong cheers from the audience that broke out at the game scene at this moment actually explained a lot of things.

The star-studded starting line-ups of both teams can be said to be completely worth the ticket prices purchased by the live audience today.

And the expensive value of these stars on the court corresponds to the quality of today's top matchup.

Blanco spent another two seasons meticulously and patiently polishing this big Parisian team, and now it is not top-heavy at all.

After they successfully brought in Matuidi from Real Madrid in the summer window, their defensive ability at the back has been taken to the next level.

This is an assessment that is not a joke at all.

Matuidi is a very good "midfield breaker", otherwise Mourinho would not have valued him at the beginning, and brought him to that extremely successful Real Madrid team and gave him enough opportunities to play.

The current Matuidi is a ruthless midfielder who has been personally trained by Mourinho and has studied defensive skills next to Leon and Alonso.

That is, he was really a little bit less interesting in attack, so he gradually became Casemiro's substitute in the second half of last season.

Otherwise, just in terms of the sweeping ability and coverage area of the midfield, he is now at least half a gear stronger than Casemiro, no matter how you look at it, he should continue to be the main defender of Real Madrid.

But in the world of football, a lot of times if you're good enough in your area doesn't mean you're going to be a starter in a certain position all the time.

It also depends on the tactical arrangement of the coaching staff and whether you can adapt to the new tactical responsibilities given by the manager.

Carlo Ancelotti doesn't want a ball-grabbing machine that only drags down to sweep and intercept, he needs to drag down the midfielder to take on more offensive and defensive responsibilities.

Matuidi can actually play B2B as well, and his potential is not limited to dragging behind to intercept the midfield breakers.

But he needs to adapt to the style of play, he needs room for error, but unfortunately his rival Casemiro doesn't need that time, so he fell out of favour.

After losing his starting position for almost half a year, Matuidi nodded in the face of Nasser's lucrative contract inviting him back to Paris and a verbal promise to absolutely guarantee his place in the main team.

So he returned to Ligue 1, with the aura of becoming a well-known star, back to the most successful big club in France, Paris Saint-Germain.

In Ligue 1, Matuidi's defensive ability is completely a dimensionality reduction attack!

He helped Grand Paris play a super luxurious league record in one go, and also helped Grand Paris rebuild its external image in this season's Champions League group stage journey.

The defense is solid, the fight is strong, and especially the extremely high offensive and defensive conversion efficiency.

Today's Paris can play this style of football, thanks to a large part of Matuidi's excellent performance.

Jose Mourinho knows Matuidi and Leon knows too.

At this moment, as soon as the two sides faced off, the faces of the Chelsea master and apprentice showed an expression of "sure enough".

Matuidi unleashed the ability of the Parisian midfield, and Motta was fully protected and dragged back to show his master's style.

Verratti was also fully coordinated by Matuidi, and with Matuidi behind him to help win the ball back, his forward passes were more confident and decisive!

That's what a good midfielder can do, and a tough enough midfielder can give his other midfield teammates the mental confidence.

And now the combination of a new midfield trio such as Grand Paris is also very reasonable, and the ball is distributed by the way.

Motta dragged his feet and Verratti fed shells forward or into the two flanks, and Matuidi was at best involved in such a playmaking process, but he never stuck to the ball too much.

If you change a midfielder or a pastore, the efficiency of the playmaking pass will be reduced.

This gap in the modern football system directly represents the death or increase of several offensive rounds.

The harder the waist of the Parisians, the more efficiently organised the midfield will be, and the more opportunities their strikers and wide players will have to try at the advancing end.

The players at Chelsea know this all too well.

Why are their results consistent?

That's because there are two ruthless people, Leon and Matic, who have been in the middle of the road!

So even if they are in poor form at times, they can always get more chances to try and possess the ball.

I tried a lot, I attacked a lot, and no matter how bad the state was, I could be piled up by chance.

The current big Paris really looks like there are a lot of Chelsea shadows.

The two teams played the first 10 minutes of the game cautiously in the mutual offensive and defensive tests.

It's hard to say whether Paris has found out the depth of Chelsea's strength, but Chelsea's players now at least have a good assessment of Paris:

"They're not going to be easy to deal with right now!"

The impression that Paris brought to the whole Chelsea team was torn away little by little as the game progressed.

And many neutral fans who watched Paris Saint-Germain for the first time this season on TV will even be deeply surprised by the solid performance of Grand Paris at this moment!

Leon completely gave up on wanting to take the ball and attack the middle of the big Paris midfield before the game to test their tactical idea of being tough defensively.

It is clear that this road will not work, as long as Matuidi entangles him, the active Verratti and the precautionary Mota will definitely let him walk around.

So he still had to make a detour to compete with the new midfield trio of Grand Paris.

Matic can sit alone in the backfield, he has to take Kroos with him to the front court to "play guerrilla"~

After making the decision, Leon quickly instructed his midfield partners to switch positions, with Pony dropping back to split the ball, and he and Kroos taking further positions.

As soon as the three of them changed their positions like this, the whole team of Grand Paris became vigilant in an instant.

Blanco looked at Mourinho, who was now standing on the sidelines like him, obviously without any tactical moves.

He didn't know that it was Leon who made his own tactical fine-tuning according to the format of the game on the field, and he thought that Mourinho had prepared some tactical small moves before the game.

Lao Mu didn't know that he was misunderstood at this time, but even if he knew it, he wouldn't care, and now he was more concerned about the tactical effect that Li Ang could play after this adjustment.

He probably understood what Leon was pulling Kroos forward for, compressing the midfield defense of Paris Saint-Germain, and also taking the initiative to attract the midfielders of Paris, so that they could put their energy into defense first.

But what about after that? What will be Leon's further game-breaking......

A smile flashed in Mourinho's eyes as he began to look forward to the tactical surprise that Leon would give him.

The balance of the game seemed to be slightly upset as Leon took the initiative to take Kroos to the front to press forward.

Paris Saint-Germain, who started the game more aggressively, cautiously recycled the midfield defence, while the side that pressed more actively at the moment became Chelsea.

This scene seems to be taken for granted by more fans, including many of the big Paris fans.

Grand Paris has indeed undergone a metamorphosis, they have become better than before, and their tactics have become more sophisticated and organized.

But what they are facing today is Chelsea, the new big devil who has beaten all over Europe from last year to now!

If Paris had been suppressing Chelsea from start to finish today, it would have been something that was not normal in the eyes of the fans.

However, after Chelsea regained the initiative in attack at this moment, they were very subtle and did not play any violent attacks.

Leon and Kroos will press into PSG's half, and it looks like they are more organising passes, trying to pull the width of the Paris defence first, and there are still not many forward passes.

And the ball that the two of them sent out on the other side will soon be back at their feet again.

Because the defense of Paris on both wings was also very good today, Hazard and De Bruyne did not take advantage of the one-on-one, and it was too easy to lose the ball when they were strong.

So they all decided to wait for Leon's command.

This kind of patience and defensive involvement is always a bit boring, and it is not easy to complete smoothly.

But the good thing is that Chelsea have practiced this tactic too many times in the past two seasons, and they are familiar with this kind of involved rhythm, which is boring, but they don't find it difficult to play such tactics.

Li Ang has always been patiently observing, and the live camera is also taking care of him, and every time he is frequently pointed at him, the audience can clearly read the meaning of observing the game situation from his eyes.

But no one could have guessed what he was watching in his somewhat monotonous and repetitive quick take-offs.

There are even many fans who wonder if Leon doesn't have a good way, so he can only continue to test the test to see if Paris Saint-Germain's midfield defense will have holes on its own first?

There are all kinds of speculations in the fan base, and commentators from various countries are also rapidly turning their heads to analyze the situation.

However, in the 23rd minute of the first half, Chelsea and Grand Paris were still playing cautiously, and there was no first shot on goal in the whole game.

After Li Ang passed the ball, he suddenly began to move forward decisively, and the Paris midfield defense line that was not involved and scattered quickly shrank at this moment!

Kroos, who controlled the ball and moved with Leon, saw this and directly distributed the ball to the slightly empty side.

De Bruyne was not in a hurry to move forward immediately after winning the ball, but watched and turned to the big Paris defense that surrounded him, and then crossed the ball to Leon, who was coming towards him at this time.

Leon was like a giant sucker, and wherever he ran, Matuidi and at least one of his midfield partners would follow Leon's footsteps.

But just when they repeated their old tricks this time, Li Ang, who received De Bruyne's pass, seemed to have installed a 360-degree holographic projection with no dead angles on his head, and directly met the ball and sent a flat straight plug to the opposite side!

It's as if he had anticipated Hazard in advance that he would be tacitly cooperating with him!

His pass was like a sharp scalpel, directly cutting through the seemingly strong and tough defense of Grand Paris!

After Hazard got the ball in at high speed, he almost didn't slow down at high speed and smashed the ball past Van de Wiel, who intercepted him!

The Dutch defender was called a clean one, and he almost fell on the turf because he didn't stop his body inertia!

The road ahead was smooth, and Hazard, who was almost completely unstoppable, cut inside decisively and smashed into the penalty area of Grand Paris.

And at this moment, it has only been ten seconds since the two teams were smoothly tested and the situation of the confrontation was calm!

Li Ang's one-time split ball forward, and a one-time ball was directly transferred to turn the game upside down!

Hazard adjusted his posture and footwork, but just when everyone thought he was going to shoot confidently, he finally chose to sweep the ball in a slight twist in front of the Parisian goal!

Suarez, who suddenly started to run sideways to grab the point, worked very well with Hazard's passing and running this time, and he also completed the most suitable stab in the first place.

However, Trapp's flying pounce still kept Suarez's stab out of the door at the first time!

Kroos on the edge of the box took the ball that jumped towards him, Mota flew towards him, but the German midfielder calmly knocked the ball across to Leon who ran towards him with his hands raised!

This time, Li Ang raised his forearm slightly and adjusted his step, and he didn't make any feints.

He aimed at the bottom of the near corner of the Paris goal and directly hit a putt shot with Kroos's personal flavor!

The precise and formulaic push doesn't have much artistic beauty, but it makes Chelsea fans feel extremely grounded at the moment!

The bustling Parc des Princes finally fell silent as the ball rolled mischievously on the turf, dodging the interception feet of two pairs of Parisian defenders along the way, and finally plunging headlong into the net in the near corner of the Paris goal......

Leon smiled and ran to the bottom of the court, and he opened his arms and began to celebrate.

To be honest, he admires the current big Paris.

Pity...

The two teams met too soon.

I got two stitches in my ass today, and I was guilty......
