Chapter 226: Premier League's Top Star? He Already Is [Please Subscribe! ]

After the most anticipated focus battle in the first half of the Premier League this season, many fans are still savoring the charm of this game.

The game scene was not as evenly matched as they had imagined before the game.

Chelsea still outperformed Arsenal in terms of player performance and tactical design.

Even though Chelsea only had a possession rate of just over 40% throughout the game, there is no doubt that Chelsea controlled the rhythm of the entire game.

If you must compare the strength of the two teams after watching this game, then more fans should tend to be 60-40.

Arsenal's defense is actually very good. Today they have successfully frozen Ibrahimovic and greatly restricted Hazard's performance.

Even the two goals scored by Li Ang came from long shots outside the penalty area. It can be said that Arsenal lost today due to Li Ang's explosion.

In most of the game time, Arsenal was still able to compete with Chelsea.

So many fans say that the reason why Arsenal is not as good as Chelsea is that they lack a serious first-class winger on the left.

Cazorla is excellent, but he will play better in the middle, and his speed is not enough for him and Walcott to fly on both wings.

Now Arsenal just needs to spend money to buy another first-class left winger in football.

If Walcott is less injured, Arsenal's offensive threat will undoubtedly be further improved.

Is it useful to fly on both wings? Just look at Real Madrid and Bayern in the past few seasons.

Second, of course, it depends on the hardness of the midfield.

Arsenal still failed to take advantage of Chelsea in the midfield this time.

Whether it is defense or offense, Chelsea almost firmly suppressed Arsenal in the rhythm of the midfield.

So Arsenal can only compete with Chelsea most of the time in the overall game, but cannot actively suppress Chelsea.

It can only be said that Chelsea's midfield is too hard and too top now.

Many other Premier League fans who watched the whole game just felt depressed.

Because now Chelsea, even when playing against Arsenal, the second-best team in the Premier League, can slowly strangle it, making it impossible for Arsenal to fully exert its offensive strength.

This kind of game rhythm and pressure method is not much different from when Chelsea played against the middle and lower teams in the Premier League in the past.

Chelsea is at most more cautious, more attentive, and more patient on the defensive end.

So, when the top and second teams lost to Chelsea in the same way.

How should other Premier League teams that will play Chelsea again later formulate tactics and maintain team confidence?

Chelsea's strength has far exceeded the expectations of these fans before the game, including Manchester City fans.

Even though Manchester City has now surpassed Arsenal and ranked second in the Premier League, it is only six points away from Chelsea.

But Manchester City fans are not happy at all.

However, when these fans are worried about Chelsea's strong rise, various British media are promoting Chelsea's strong strength with great fanfare.

After all, apart from the 2011-2012 season, the fierce competition between Manchester United and Manchester City, the two Manchester giants, was more interesting.

In recent seasons, the Premier League has lost too much suspense in the championship.

Manchester United has won five Premier League championship trophies in the past seven seasons.

To be honest, this is not what Premier League fans want to see, let alone what the FA wants to see.

Because Manchester United is too strong in the Premier League.

Without the suspense of the championship, how to attract more neutral fans to pay attention to the Premier League, become Premier League fans, and further drive the overall traffic of the Premier League?

Originally, Manchester City's strong rise in the 11-12 season made the top executives of the FA very happy for a while.

Manchester City has a solid foundation, a fan base, and strong financial support.

It is a good choice to support such a team to compete with Manchester United.

And Manchester City also worked hard at the beginning, and staged a miracle of turning the tables and winning the championship in the summer of 2012, which was highly favored by many media and fans.

But this team rose quickly, and fell quickly!

Last season, Manchester City represented the Premier League in the Champions League, and the English Football Association had high hopes for them.

In the end, they were beaten by Real Madrid and Dortmund without any chance to fight back, and in the end, Manchester City didn't even compete with Ajax!

After six rounds of the Champions League group stage, they came back in the bottom of the group in disgrace!

With this record, the boiling public opinion at that time was not a slap in the face of Manchester City? It was simply a slap in the ass of the English Football Association!

How can such a team be supported?

Originally, the English Football Association planned to go back to the old path in the new season and continue to support Manchester United, the top Premier League giant.

As a result, after Ferguson landed, the big ship of Manchester United leaked so much!

Fortunately, Mourinho, who returned to Chelsea, had a very good start in the new season.

This made the top executives of the English Football Association feel a little relieved.

Later, Chelsea won more and more games, and Li Ang also proved that he was not a "ball idiot" with his stable and strong performance. He really has the ability to be the core of a strong team!

So the English Football Association has basically made up its mind and is waiting for the result of this game between Chelsea and Arsenal.

Now that Chelsea has won, the English Football Association has no worries.

Before, they only bet on Chelsea for business because of Li Ang and Mourinho.

Now that is a full bet on both sports and business!

With the official instructions behind the scenes, the momentum created by the British media for Chelsea this time is quite amazing.

The CEOs of other Premier League teams are naturally very sensitive and noticed the official blessing.

There is definitely envy and jealousy, but there is nothing to do.

Chelsea ran into a good time when Manchester United was sinking and Manchester City was rebuilding again, and the results of the three-line battles were very strong. It was because of its strength that it won the favor of the English Football Association.

Without this hard strength to back it up, jealousy would be in vain.

Chelsea naturally also has relevant persons in charge and the English Football Association to reach a tacit understanding.

In UEFA, the English Football Association and the Premier League have never been well received, so the English Football Association can only add a hand in the public opinion.

Chelsea still has to fight for the results in the Champions League.

But at least within the Premier League, Chelsea can at least get an official promise of "fair refereeing" in the game.

Having such a thing is completely enough for Mourinho.

After all, he suffered too much in this regard in the Premier League.

Now the English Football Association can ensure that the referees sent in every game can referee impartially, which is the biggest help for Chelsea.

After the battle with Arsenal, it can be said that there are many benefits.

Although Chelsea's main players consumed a lot of physical energy, the morale and fighting spirit were also visible to the naked eye.

Although Mourinho immediately warned his disciples in the locker room after the game, asking them not to be too complacent and proud.

But in his heart, how could he not be proud of his players?

So even though the schedule was tight, Mourinho gave all the players a holiday after the training session on Christmas morning on the 25th.

Players who participated in the club's Christmas activities on that day can return home in advance and reunite with their relatives and friends.

Li Ang came to Mourinho's home on Christmas Eve at Mourinho's strong invitation that could not be refused, and spent the most important holiday in the Western world with Mourinho and his family.

But for him, Christmas really didn't mean much, so he didn't take photos and post social tweets, and he was obsessed with eating throughout the dinner.

Chelsea fans only learned about Li Ang's meal at Mourinho's house through Mourinho's personal tweets that night.

As soon as Christmas was over, on the morning of December 26, Chelsea's players rushed to Cobham training base again on time to complete the last pre-match training.

After the battle with Arsenal, the Chelsea team only had two and a half days of rest, and then they would face the challenge of Swansea at their home court.

The younger Chelsea players can still hold on, but most of the Chelsea veterans who played the last game have to take a break.

However, what surprised Mourinho was that Ibrahimovic was in good physical condition.

He was physically fit enough to play in the next round of the 18th round of the Premier League against Swansea.

In this way, Chelsea does not need to make major adjustments in offensive tactics. With Ibrahimovic supporting the frontcourt, Li Ang can also play more easily.

At 3 pm on December 26, a total of eight games in the 18th round of the Premier League started at this time node.

Among them was the game between Chelsea and Swansea.

During the Christmas devil schedule, the rotation of the lineups of the Premier League teams was relatively large.

Chelsea is actually OK, because the bench is deep enough and the funds are strong, so even the players who are rotated are strong.

But for a team like Swansea, which is ranked in the middle of the Premier League in a single-line battle, the difference in strength between the starting players and the rotation players is very large.

In the last round of the bloody battle with Everton, Swansea lost Ben Davies, the defensive general on the left, and finally tied Everton with difficulty.

This is very bad news for the entire Swansea team.

Because Ben Davies is not only the defensive gate on the left of Swansea, his inward defense is also very important for the protection of Swansea's center line.

Now Ben Davies is injured and can't play for the time being, and many main players in the team have fought to the point of exhaustion.

Swansea coach Michael Laudrup can only helplessly choose to rotate a large number of main players in the battle with Chelsea.

This is not because he surrendered before the game, but because Swansea's bench depth is here.

Either sacrifice the health of the main players and subsequent league results, or make the most sensible choice to avoid the tough battle with Chelsea in this round.

Laudrup chose to give up this round of league directly, which is also great news for Chelsea.

At least after getting the list of Swansea's starting players before the game, Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief.

Swansea's starting striker Bony, starting midfielder De Guzman, Pablo Hernandez, starting defender Flores...

As many as six Swansea's starting players were rested in this round of games, and this game was not too difficult for Chelsea.

If the game can still be played into a tense situation, then Mourinho will have to see if there is a problem with the thinking of his own players during the halftime break!

Fortunately, the worst situation Mourinho expected did not happen.

At the beginning of the afternoon game, the whole Chelsea team quickly suppressed Swansea under the organization and dispatch of Li Ang and besieged it!

Today, Ramirez and Van Ginkel are partners in the midfield with Li Ang.

Hazard on the left side is resting today, so Bertrand is at the left forward position again.

Ake is the first left back for a long time.

Today, Chelsea's double central defenders are Ivanovic and Kalas.

And Azpilicueta, who has performed very well before, has further secured his position as the starting right back.

De Bruyne continues to be the starting right forward, and his physical fitness is still relatively abundant.

In addition, Oscar is not good at playing on the wing, otherwise Mourinho will let Oscar help De Bruyne for a round.

After the rotation, Chelsea's front, middle and back field strength is still far beyond Swansea.

After quickly suppressing Swansea, Chelsea's offensive routine today is also very simple and direct.

It is to use Ibrahimovic's strong point to harden Swansea's defense line!

After all, Swansea rotated three main players in the entire back line today, so Mourinho would never miss such a good opportunity.

Li Ang kept passing the ball, allowing De Bruyne and Bertrand to repeatedly attack Swansea's two side defenses, and then deliver ammunition to Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic, who was trapped by Arsenal's defense in the last round, was full of anger.

Today Mourinho gave him unlimited firing rights, and he also swung it up without any hesitation!

Throughout the first half of the game, Ibrahimovic swung a full nine shots in and out of Swansea's penalty area!

Of course, the effect of this simple tactic under the right circumstances is very outstanding.

Because Swansea simply couldn't stop Chelsea's two-wing attack and Ibrahimovic's unscrupulous shooting.

As soon as the first half of the game was over, Ibrahimovic returned to the bench with two goals to rest with satisfaction.

After all, they are about to have another tough battle with Liverpool. Ibrahimovic doesn't want to miss the focus of the next round, so he has no objection to Mourinho's arrangement.

Lukaku's appearance made Swansea's defenders still dare not relax their vigilance.

But their defense did not add too much resistance to Chelsea.

Swansea's defenders could not stop Li Ang from assisting Lukaku with a straight pass in the 67th minute of the second half!

Chelsea won the game, and Li Ang finally got his 10th league assist of the season in this game!

When there was still one round of games left before the end of the half of the Premier League this season, Li Ang completed the goal of double ten league data after achieving double ten data in the season!

In the 17th round of the Premier League (with one round of rest), he handed in 11 goals and 10 assists!

This data is very luxurious and the efficiency is extremely amazing!

Before the end of the half of the season, Li Ang's total data has reached 15 goals and 13 assists.

With only two assists left, Li Ang will be able to achieve the double 15 data of the season.

Sky Sports commentator no longer knows how to continue praising Li Ang's excellent performance.

Become a Premier League star?

Sorry, Li Ang is one now!

I'll eat a few bites of food and continue to save tomorrow's draft. I implore all the big guys not to give up on me. If I'm not in good shape, I'll use time to polish it. If I'm still not in good shape, I'll continue to write all night!

I also ask the big guys to subscribe and vote for the monthly ticket.

I'm grateful here!
