"Damn it!"

Seeing that the last thing that happened happened was still happening on the pitch, Pochettino stood on the sideline and kicked the turf hard!

Under normal circumstances, even if his team would have fallen behind against Chelsea, they would not have been breached so early.

Obviously, many of Tottenham's players who started today were out of tune.

In particular, several attackers up front have been out of rhythm for Tottenham's famous Premier League wing attack this season.

Falling behind Chelsea in this situation, Pochettino is completely unconvinced!

If his players play normally and play the game, he admits that he can't play and lose, but he doesn't play well on the pitch?

He really feels aggrieved!

Thinking of this, Pochettino, who was angry, simply returned to the bench and directly stretched out his hand to signal Ryan Mason and Shazley on the bench to warm up on the sidelines.

With one of these two players just returning from injury and the other being relegated to the bench in the second half of the season, Pochettino is unlikely to be able to replace both of them at half-time.

But he had to show some of the Tottenham attacking players on the pitch his frustration and anger.

It's also a kind of beating, and he wants to tell the players who have been warned that if he can start them, he can also give them half time!

The Argentine young marshal's beating style seems a little rough, but I have to say that the effect is still very outstanding.

As soon as they saw Ryan Mason and Shazley appear on the sidelines and start warming up, the faces of several Tottenham attackers on the pitch suddenly changed.

They also didn't care about the frustration of the unexpected conceded goal, and when the game restarted, Son Heung-min and Lamela tried to break through one by one.

Eriksen is quite calm, as the core of Tottenham's attack, he still does not need to worry about being replaced by the manager.

Besides, he retreated to the organization to avoid too much entanglement with Leon in the midfield, which would only waste his physical energy.

Short-term avoidance is not timidity, many times it is actually a wise choice, as the team's organizational brain, it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons to make a calm judgment.

As a result, Eriksen was still involved in the attack without recklessness, and when the game resumed, he remained in central midfield and controlled his own possession with Dembele.

And with the two of them organising together, Tottenham's attacking rhythm finally came out in the second half of the first half.

At least after 35 minutes of the first half, Tottenham were in control of the attack, and they created a number of dangerous chances in attack.

Chelsea's defensive strength, which rotated a large number of main players, inevitably declined and it was impossible to intercept most of the opposition's attacking attempts as they did when the main players came out together.

However, Chelsea's goalkeeper Oblak was in excellent form today, denying out threatening shots from Harry Kane and Lamela in quick succession to hold his own one-goal lead at half-time.

Leon was unhappy with the quality of his team's defence in the final stages of the first half, but he was also aware of the quality of his substitutes.

It would be unrealistic to expect Van Ginkel and Loftus-Cheek to do the work of Nemanja Matic and Kroos in central midfield.

In addition to working a little harder and taking on more responsibility on the defensive end, Li Ang can only temporarily reduce the ability requirements of his midfield partner.

Thinking about it from another angle, although these two guys are still lacking in ability, they are at least obedient!

Li Ang, who was constantly comforting himself, had prepared in advance to take care of the backcourt defense in the second half of the game.

Jose Mourinho's tactical changes in midfield also require Leon to contribute more defensively.

No way, Nemanja Matic is still watching the game at home, and Mourinho doesn't have more defensive midfielders to change.

In a short period of time, you can't expect Chick to open up and become a powerful beast waist, so Mu Shuai can only choose to suffer Li Ang again.

At the start of the second half, Leon was still in the midfield position, and Van Ginkel looked much higher than Leon because he had to take on more playmaking responsibilities.

Mourinho's choice of tactics can be regarded as sacrificing most of Leon's attacking ability, but it has to be said that with Leon dragging back to defend, Chelsea's frontcourt players are very down-to-earth.

And the psychological stability has allowed these Chelsea frontcourt players to play more consistently.

Coupled with the fact that Tottenham played more aggressively and aggressively in the second half, the game between the two teams at Stamford Bridge quickly turned into a head-to-head battle.

Now the game is really going to come and go.

Jose Mourinho also wanted to score early in the second half to extend his lead, so Chelsea are comfortable with the current pressure.

Pochettino was certainly more receptive to a change in the game.

After all, the less conservative Chelsea play, the more likely Tottenham will be to equalise.

Suddenly, the scramble between the two teams on the field also became fierce.

After letting go of their psychological baggage, Tottenham's attacking cluster quickly showed their level of quality and began to attack the Chelsea hinterland several times to create a threat.

Leon naturally tried his best to interrupt Tottenham's attacking rhythm at the defensive end, but Loftus-Cheek's defensive ability was really average, and Van Kingkel's form today was not very good.

No matter how strong his personal ability is, he also needs the help of his teammates, and Messi and Ronaldo, who do not have suitable teammates to help, play very average on the field.

Fortunately, Mourinho also saw Leon's uncomfortable situation in time, he did not hesitate too much, and quickly called Kroos on the bench to warm up.

60th minute of the second half. Jose Mourinho brought on Kroos for Van Ginkel, who was average today.

Kroos, who had warmed up well, quickly helped Leon share a lot of pressure on the defensive end as soon as he came on the court.

The German midfielder's long balls are much more accurate than Van Kingkel's, so he doesn't need a prerequisite position to organise the team's attack.

With his defensive help, Leon can also pull out his hand to get the ball forward and better connect the team's front and back courts.

Loftus-Cheek is still too immature in this regard, and his ball-handling push has often been a bit of a disorganization.

When it's time to split the side, he will suddenly choose to send a through ball, or simply take himself to a dead end and XJB with a shot.

Not to mention Mourinho on the sidelines in this scene, Leon looked a little big.

Young players do need more opportunities to try and make mistakes, and it is also necessary to develop their own academy players.

But Chelsea are now a superpowerhouse looking to win three league titles in a row and defend their Champions League title.

Young players who are to establish themselves at Chelsea and play consistently will have to show their talent and potential far beyond their peers.

Gnabry used his outstanding performance and outstanding talent to win the trust of the coaching staff.

But it's clear that Loftus-Cheek's current potential is not enough for the Chelsea coaching staff to tolerate him.

Li Ang also saw the expression on Lao Mu's black face on the sidelines, so he took back the authority to attack forward in time, drove Loftus-Cheek back to the backfield and let him honestly act as a bodyguard next to Kroos.

This little guy is obedient, but he can't hold back his restless attacking heart on the court.

Li Ang saw that he couldn't get rid of this bad problem for a while, so he could only try to help him cover up his mistakes on the field.

As for his future development at Chelsea, it still depends on his own understanding, and Leon can help for a while, but he can't help for a lifetime......

After freeing himself from the defence and having spare energy to participate in the attack, Leon quickly established a steady passing channel with Salah.

When Eden Hazard is rested, Mohamed Salah is undoubtedly Chelsea's sharpest attacking knife.

Blossoming more is important for a team's offensive system, but more often than not, including the big clubs, it's rare to have a consistent attacking strength.

Chelsea were fortunate in this regard, with Eden Hazard in the starting line-up and Mohamed Salah on the right in the rotation.

Leon's trust in the Egyptian winger is undoubtedly 100 per cent, and as long as Salah himself is not in bad form in the game and is replaced by Mourinho, Leon will always ensure that Salah has a lot of possession.

So at this moment, Salah is also active again.

With enough balls to play, there are only good and no harm for wide attackers like them.

Because they already have a strong and resilient mentality, they are never afraid to bear the hope of the whole team.

Give them a bigger stage to perform, they will only be more excited, mistakes and conceding goals or anything is just a routine for them, and they won't have any psychological pressure because of it.

In terms of the ability to shake off psychological baggage and withstand pressure, the current Salah is much better than Tottenham's two wingers.

Reflected in the game, Tottenham's Son Heung-min and Lamela played not as bright as Salah at this time.

The Egyptian winger ate enough of the ball, but also kept Tottenham's left wing-back Danny Ross down in attack.

Before Dembele made up his mind to squat in the pit to assist Daniros in defending Salah, Tottenham's left-sided defensive system collapsed directly, and Danirose's mentality almost collapsed!

The new international wing-back, who has been praised by the English media many times this season and has also been selected for England's senior men's national team, will now have to use tactical fouls to stop Salah's advance.

In just five or six minutes, Salah let Danny Ross carry a yellow card, and by the way, Son Xingmin, who returned to defend the foul, received a verbal warning from the referee!

Pochettino had a headache on the sidelines, but Salah's performance was far from over.

In the 72nd minute of the second half, Kroos launched a long pass from the back and directly found Llorente, who withdrew from the Tottenham Hotspur penalty area and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

The Spanish high school striker leaned on his back against Tottenham defender Eric Dier, who was interfering with him, and after winning a steady spot, he chose to pass the ball back to Leon, who was cutting forward.

Leon did not hesitate, directly split the ball, and once again passed the ball to Salah, who was in hot form.

Salah did not choose to take the ball and force a cross from Daniros, but knocked the ball passed by Leon inward, and then he also cut directly inward to dribble horizontally!

Tottenham's defence is still very intact at the moment, and Danny Ross quickly followed, and almost all the fans at the scene thought that Salah's next breakthrough was not good, and it was likely to pass the ball back to Leon.

Leon himself thinks the same way, and he has even taken the initiative to move closer to Salah, ready to receive and redistribute the ball.

But in the next moment, after Salah finished dribbling with his stuffy head, he almost didn't adjust his pace, and directly chose to hit the goal against Danny Rose's sticky defense!

His choice of shot stunned everyone on the scene, but it was enough to surprise him, at least Lloris was half a beat slower to save at this time!

The ball arced beautifully in the air, it looked like a rainbow, the ball wasn't too fast, and Lloris's late save looked more timely.

But Salah's shot is from a tricky angle!

After Lori jumped and pounced halfway, he estimated the distance between his palm and the soccer ball in the air, and his face suddenly changed!

The football also grazed Lloris's fingertips in the exclamation of the commentators from various countries, and finally plunged headlong into the top left corner of the Tottenham goal!

It was an absolutely beautiful world wave to score!

With surprise in his eyes, Li Ang looked at Salah who rushed to the bottom line with a confident smile, and he only felt that his teammate was afraid that he had recently undergone a transformation in strength...

Immediately afterwards, his heart was filled with the joy of "picking up" an assist for nothing.

After running to the bottom line together, Li Ang waited for Salah to finish the gesture of love to the live camera, and then patted Salah on the head affectionately.

The rest of the Chelsea front-court players then swarmed up Salah and Leon for the second joyful celebration of the game!

Mourinho jumped up from the bench, first relieved, and then gave his disciples a round of applause with a smile on his face.

To be honest, after making the decision to rotate a large number of main players before the game, he still had a bit of a drum in his heart.

With a rotating squad and now Tottenham, Chelsea are not sure to win.

Fortunately, several of Chelsea's attacking players who started today did not disappoint him, and Leon even held up the defense of the central midfield when his midfield partner played erratically.

So far, Chelsea have been a surprise to have a two-goal lead.

And then, he has to use the most secure defense to pocket these three points!

Chelsea's celebration was a little longer for so long that the linesman had to say something about it.

After being forced to end the celebration early, Leon soon found out. Jose Mourinho has been explaining the precautions to Maguire and Kieran Trippier on the sidelines.

Sure enough, more than ten seconds later, the fourth official raised the substitution electronic card on the sidelines.

Chelsea made two substitutions in a row and used up all the substitutions, with Harry Maguire and Kieran Trippier coming on, and Leon and Gnabry, who scored the first goal of the day, coming on.

Jose Mourinho's adjustment was decisive and simple, and Chelsea, who had replaced two defenders, directly put out a luxury bus.

With five defenders in the box, Kieran Trippier made a cameo appearance at the back and joined Kroos and Loftus-Cheek to keep Chelsea's edge of the box tight.

Mohamed Salah and Llorente also returned to their own half, and Tottenham was very uncomfortable at the moment when they wanted to play on the ground, because there was not enough space at all.

In desperation, Tottenham can only play the old British traditional long-pass rushing tactics.

As a result, Kane was once again lost in Chelsea's steely defence.

After coming on the field, Maguire directly incarnated as a super air bully, and in just six or seven minutes, he directly brushed up the data of four successful aerial duels!

Tottenham became less and less confident in attack, and when they played to the maximum, Tottenham's crosses from both wings were a little deformed.

The referee on duty did not delay any time when he saw this, and as soon as the three minutes of stoppage time arrived, he decisively blew the whistle for the end of the game!

Two wins in a row!

Ahead of the Champions League semi-finals, Chelsea withstood the pressure of fixtures and beat strong opponents in the Premier League to further cement their position at the top of the league!

Such a victory continues to give the whole Chelsea team a lot of confidence and confidence.

At least they can concentrate on the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie with Atletico Madrid, without worrying about Manchester City taking advantage of the situation to reverse the table.

After this league game, in the face of the enthusiastic interviews of reporters, Li Ang wisely chose to refuse.

He didn't want to cause some public opinion before the Champions League semi-final and distract his team-mates.

However, in the private team gathering, he had already made a pre-war mobilization speech very domineeringly:

"Atletico are just our losers, last year we were able to win them once, this year we can beat them a second and a third time!"
