Chapter 371: The second round is waiting for you~

"Trapp has made a meritorious service! But the ball... The ball is still in Chelsea's control! Kroos knocks the ball across again! Leon putts!! The ball went inβ€”β€”!!!

This ball is here! The ball has a !! Leon! Leon pushed the ball into the goal of Grand Paris in the most Kroos way! Is he paying a close salute to his midfield partner? Hahahaha......"

"It's too crisp! Leon! It's a beautiful shot! Trapp was completely helpless by Leon's putt, and I think Leon should have specifically asked Cross for advice in private~

I suggest that in the future, these two guys will defend the top of the penalty area on one side, anyway, they can both play high-quality pushes, and the opponent's goalkeeper is also unguardable! ”

Zhan Jun and Director Zhang were amazed by Li Ang's exquisite putt shot in the studio!

Strange to say, Li Ang rarely used this trick to score goals before, but now that he suddenly used it, no one would be surprised.

Probably it is his ability to learn against the sky that is accustomed to today's fans and media people.

After all, many fans have watched Leon transform from an offensive rookie all the way to the current offensive all-round.

Not to mention that he learned some more putting techniques from his team-mates.

It was one day when he suddenly practiced a free kick and staged Ronaldo's tomahawk on the field, most fans would take it for granted.

Isn't this the biggest characteristic of Li Ang, he can practice anything, and he can practice everything!

At this moment, Kroos, who was celebrating with Leon at the bottom line, also smiled and patted Leang's head, I don't know if he was praising Leon's putter for really learning similarly.

The rest of the Chelsea players were celebrating and covering their mouths to exchange new views on the strength of Paris.

"Their forwards are much more aggressive in defending than they used to be, and it's changed a lot! I don't think it's against the norm to change their home shirt to Bayern. ”

"It's not easy to play, this kind of team is not short of money, as long as you are willing to bury your head and build the team pragmatically, the combat effectiveness will improve quickly."

"But as long as we get the ball first, it's easy to do! Regardless of whether they are pragmatic or not, the rhythm of today's game must be in our hands anyway! ”

"It's better to be careful, Di Maria is in good shape today, he hasn't been weak at all since he left Manchester United, he was almost out of luck with me just now..."

"Hah! Let the boss help you over there, or you can tell the boss directly, let him change you slowly~"

"Falk Squid ......"

Chelsea's players were in a good mood and were reminded not to let their guard down after taking the one-goal lead.

By contrast, the atmosphere within PSG is naturally a little quieter.

However, Blanco has also done a very good job of team building in the past two years, especially with the fact that he has clearly established the new core of the dressing room, Motta.

Veterans who are accustomed to the storms of the game may not be the strongest, but their calm mentality often allows them to become the anchor of a team.

At this moment, Mota fulfilled his responsibility to stabilize the morale of the army with his words of encouragement.

If it were still the big Paris who often disagreed in the team after Ibrahimovic left two seasons ago, the team's tactical thinking would have gone wrong by this time.

But now, after Motta's reassurance and encouragement, the main players on the field of Grand Paris quickly regained their strength, forgot the fact that they had conceded a goal, and threw themselves into the game again!

Such a positive performance was undoubtedly very morale-boosting, and the fans of Grand Paris were also encouraged by the good mentality of their players after a brief disappointment.

After all, the players who worked the field are still motivated, and they have not surrendered, so why should the fans not fully support them?!

The earth-shattering cheers and cheers once again resounded throughout the Parc des Princes!

Mourinho felt the frenzied fighting atmosphere of the opponent's home stadium at the moment, and couldn't help but have some worries about the development of the next game.

He still trusts his disciples 100%, but the big Paris that has been beaten is really difficult to deal with.

This big Paris team has excellent personnel in the front, middle and backfield, and after solving the problem of team spirit, the energy of such a team is often very amazing!

Especially in the forward line of Grand Paris, Higuain and Di Maria were both ace attacking players in the hands of Mourinho.

Mourinho knows them too well, and it is precisely because of this understanding that he has to frequently go to the sidelines at this moment to tell his disciples to be careful of Paris's offensive infiltration.

Chelsea's defenders take their manager's advice very seriously.

When Di Maria and Lucas Mora once again switched positions to involve Chelsea's backline, Kieran Trippier, who started at right-back today, simply took a direct adduction position.

Di Maria had tortured Azpilicueta enough to play on the right flank, and the Argentine wing superstar was in great form today.

Kieran Trippier is very self-aware, the full-backs with the best defensive skills in the team have nothing to do with Di Maria today, can he still take the initiative to limit the opponent?

So if he wants to give Di Maria less chance, he can only strategically put the outside and defend the inside.

Putting Di Maria's cross is already limiting his personal play.

And Di Maria's cross into the Chelsea box will basically be solved by Maguire's air tyrant first.

It is more important not to allow Di Maria to continue to cut inside and have dangerous chances on goal.

Even if he wants to give up the forward attack for the time being, he must first cooperate with his teammates to restrain Di Maria!

Kieran Trippier's defensive options were effective, and Di Maria would of course choose the former first between easier pushes and more difficult cut-outs.

As a result, the follow-up attack of the Grand Paris started quickly, after all, they were able to rely on Di Maria to pass the ball into the Chelsea penalty area smoothly every time.

In terms of process, their offense is very threatening, and Blanco feels that their offense has been played.

It was in terms of finishing in front of goal that Paris was always lacking some fire.

Higuain is still a rare top all-round center forward in today's football, but he is stronger when he is weak, and his stealth is also his old problem.

Even though he has broken the scoring record in Ligue 1 in the past two seasons, he still failed to play a very personal classic battle in the Champions League.

At this time, under the close monitoring of Thiago Silva, he also lost his trace on the field again.

It was only when he dropped back out of the Chelsea box to receive a pass from a team-mate that he was able to appear briefly in the live camera.

I have to say that he can't play a tough game, and it's not wrong that he can't score key goals under pressure.

But at this moment, if you look at the opponent he is facing from Higuain's point of view, you can understand his "inaction" to some extent.

It's not that he doesn't run smartly, and it's not that he doesn't work hard enough to grab points.

It's really that the combination of central defenders he is facing is too comprehensive, whether it is on the ground or in the aerial battle, he is not given a chance at all!

He's actually played a tactical role, and at least he has now contained most of Thiago Silva and Maguire's defensive energy.

But his other striker team-mate, Lucas Jr., prefers to play on the flanks and is almost useless in the penalty area, so what can he do?

Veteran fans with rich experience actually think Higuain is playing quite well.

At this time, if Paris can add another center forward to cooperate with Higuain to contain and grab points, then Paris's offensive threat can be improved at once.

Whether it's a pillar striker or a point-grabbing flexible center, they can all play with Higuain, and the other wing is completely fine without a striker for the time being.

Thinking of this, many fans have turned their attention to another center forward on the bench of Grand Paris, "Tiger" Gignac!

This strong French high school striker can be regarded as a big killer in Ligue 1.

Gignac, who played for Marseille last season, scored 22 goals in Ligue 1, second in the scorers' charts behind Gonzalo Higuain, who scored 36 goals.

If it weren't for the fact that Gignac's contract with Marseille expired and was not renewed, Grand Paris would not have been able to take such a big bargain for nothing.

Gignac, who rotated between Paris and Gonzalo Higuain in the new season, has also scored 10 league goals so far, and there is no problem with goal efficiency at all.

And he has proven it in Ligue 1 that he has no problem with Higuain's compatibility.

Fans who know a little about Ligue 1 will now think that Blanco will consider bringing on Gignac to continue to attack Chelsea's defence.

But it's clear that Blanco is completely different from what they think, or that Blanco has his own considerations at the tactical level.

The Paris boss didn't add another midfielder to increase the firepower at such a crucial attacking moment, and he seemed to trust his starting attacking players more.

Unfortunately, the game didn't turn out the way Blanco had hoped, with neither Di Maria nor Gonzalo Higuain having their 'light' moments.

Another Parisian striker, Lucas Jr., is still playing with Cesar Azpilicueta on the wing, and his mind is completely out of the box.

Chelsea were able to keep the remainder of the first half without danger.

Judging from the data on the surface of the game and the second half of the first half, the big Paris did control the initiative of the game.

They had more possession, more attempts at goal and corner kicks.

But in fact, they don't have many threats to the Chelsea goal, and the attack is quite lively, but the spearhead is too blunt to break Chelsea's defensive system.

However, at halftime, Mourinho still repeatedly told his disciples to continue to defend well in the second half and not to have the slightest idea of underestimating the enemy.

'I'd rather you nag me but in the end we come back to Stamford Bridge with a win than say something nice about you like to say and then make a fatal mistake in the subsequent defence.

Believe me, Gonzalo Higuain and Angel Di Maria can do nothing for 89 minutes, but they probably don't have a minute in the end, and it only takes 10 seconds or less to make our whole game of quality defense go up and down!

You can empathize with this and think about the teams that were killed or equalized by your captain at the last moment... When you're slacking, think about the attacking player standing in front of you at the moment is Leon, you know? Find that feeling......"

When Mourinho described his abstract defensive concerns in a more specific way, he subconsciously looked at the Chelsea defender who looked at Leon, and his eyes changed suddenly!

Li Ang was made to cry and laugh by his own boss, but at this time, he could only follow Lao Mu's words and continue to respond.

He didn't know what his teammates were thinking when they looked at him, but by the beginning of the second half, he could clearly feel that the defensive attention of his teammates was indeed more focused!

Blanco had been on the sidelines since the start of the second half and couldn't sit down for a moment.

But he only watched the game format for six or seven minutes, and the sadness between his brows couldn't be relaxed.

In the 53rd minute of the second half, Blanco kept shaking his head as Paris watched Paris eat two tough interceptions from Chelsea's midfield defence in succession in an attack, and finally only got one throw-in opportunity.

He muttered, just like countless Parisian fans at the moment, complaining about Chelsea's stubborn tactics and defensive quality.

But Mourinho, who was one of the targets of complaints, didn't care about the live broadcast footage that frequently came to him at this time.

He was very satisfied with the defensive tenacity of his disciples!

If you want to run up and play against Paris today, then the performance of the Paris strikers will not be what they are now.

Therefore, it is very necessary to lower the tempo of the game and drag it into positional warfare.

The talent of the Paris forwards will be suppressed in positional battles, while the talent of the Chelsea defenders will be fully revealed.

Such a victory is indeed very ugly, and it can even be said to be completely ugly, but it is better to be safe and secure!

Not conceding a goal away from home in the first game, and being able to score an away goal, is a perfect ending for Chelsea.

Mourinho wanted such a result, and when Paris finally couldn't help but start attacking in the second half of the game, he even took the initiative to signal Leon and Kroos to make tactical fouls.

The most intimidating act naturally made the members of the coaching staff in Paris very unhappy, and the coaching staff of the two teams exchanged blows on the sidelines, and even interrupted the game for a while.

But the strikers of Grand Paris are not as strong as their coaching staff.

Until the last second of the game, they couldn't knock on the Chelsea goal.

Oblak is a god in the first game, contributing a full 12 effective saves in a single game!

The Slovenian international was stunned at the last moment of the game, and Higuain and Lukas, who took turns to shoot from a distance, were shut up!

After the game, looking at the contrasting 23-5 shots of Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, the French journalists didn't know what to say.

There is some pride, but more of it is helplessness.

After all, Grand Paris can play so many shooting statistics, and that is also because Chelsea have left too much space for long-range shots after actively shrinking the formation.

And Chelsea, who have been in the defensive end of the whole game, will naturally have more reasons to leave Paris with their heads held high!

Li Ang is still very satisfied with the result of the first leg between the two teams.

He chatted with his old friends in Paris after the game.

And after being interviewed by French journalists, he also enthusiastically sent an "invitation" to Grand Paris:

"We'll see you in London in the second round, waiting for you~"

Mom, this disease is finally getting better, and the needles are still working quickly!

Tomorrow at least 10,000 words, make up for yesterday's update!

Then I wish the bigwigs a happy weekend in advance and pay attention to the cold!
