Football irons are burning

Chapter 323 An Unexpected Penalty Kick
Obviously, Mourinho intends to strengthen the defense.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Lebouf came on and replaced Cannavaro, who was physically exhausted.

This means to carry the Iron Barrel Formation to the end.

Chelsea's defense continues to be strong, while Manchester United's offense basically can only rely on balls from both sides for high-altitude bombing.

Li Tie's breakthrough in the middle also had no effect.

After all, he is a man, not a god.

However, within a few minutes after the substitution, Chelsea won a chance to fight back.

Li Tie made a pass from the side. After the veteran Lebouf intercepted the ball, he suddenly kicked forward. Ibrahimovic flew forward and stretched out his foot before Pepe. Pepe also obviously hesitated and did not go all out. He headed the ball.

If it hits head-on, if Ibrahimovic doesn't stop, then Pepe will have to sing why the flowers are so red.

But he didn't hit it, but gave Ibrahimovic a good chance to fight back.

After passing Pepe, Ibrahimovic immediately cut inside, bypassing Zhang Heizi's defense, and then entered the penalty area. Pepe, who was defending the defense, directly shoveled. As a result, Ibrahimovic made another dunk at the foot of Ibrahimovic. He missed the shovel and fell down!
Webber immediately awarded a penalty kick, and the Chelsea fans cheered.

The Chelsea players also played the crown to celebrate, while Pepe was in a daze, not knowing what happened.

After all, he is young, he has insufficient experience in this game, and he made consecutive mistakes. He let Ibrahimovic pass by before, and now he made a penalty kick.

Of course, Ibrahimovic is indeed very cunning. This big player has the skills of Maradona.

He has been greatly trained and improved in the Premier League, and he will definitely be a football superstar in the future.

Li Tie comforted Pepe, and now he can only hope that Neuer can play well and try to save the ball.

Ibrahimovic stood in front of the ball, and the home fans booed him, trying to interfere with him.

The whistle sounded, Ibrahimovic volleyed vigorously, and the ball went into the net. Although Neuer judged the right direction, he didn't catch the ball. The angle of power of the ball was perfect.

0:1, Manchester United is one goal behind Chelsea at home.

Ibrahimovic excitedly rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal. This kid was so crazy that he made a gesture to challenge the fans.

This time, he was in trouble, and all the sundries were thrown down from the stands, scaring the kid and running away.

Li Tie also secretly wanted to give this kid some trouble, but after a few seconds, he still signaled to the fans in the stands to calm down.

Manchester United fans stopped throwing debris immediately.

Weber also called Ibrahimovic at this time and gave him a yellow card.

This is really a bit self-inflicted, he is so arrogant after scoring a goal, this guy has a really weird temper.

The game continues.

Soon, Mourinho used Melchiot to replace Ibrahimovic, the hero who scored the goal. This signal is very obvious, that is, to stick to the end.

And Ibrahimovic has a yellow card, which is also a dangerous signal and has to be replaced.

On the field, all Chelsea players also retreated, with only one Pauletta standing in front.

Manchester United attacked crazily. Li Tie made more breakthroughs with the ball, and at the same time strengthened his long-range shots.

However, the opponent's iron barrel formation is indeed well-deserved, and it has repeatedly disintegrated Manchester United's offense.

Now they have no tactics, just stick to it, and kick the ball out of the field when they see it.

It cannot be said that people are shameless. This is Mourinho's football philosophy, and everything is aimed at results.

Manchester United leads Chelsea by 12 points. Chelsea naturally want to win the game. 3 points is the key. Who cares if you play well or not?
Li Tie was also a bit unlucky today. He missed three long-range shots and hit the crossbar once.

While the opponent was defending intensively, Li Tie's breakthrough also lost its power, and it was obviously difficult to break through when he plunged into the crowd.

And Weber's penalty scale is relatively loose, which makes Li Tie helpless.

One minute before the end, Li Tie's long-range shot hit the crossbar and bounced off. Manchester United lost their final chance to equalize.

In the end, the game ended and Manchester United lost 0:1 to Chelsea at home, suffering their second defeat of the season.

After the final whistle, Chelsea coach Mourinho also rushed to the field to celebrate. This guy is a bit arrogant today.

This is also a rare victory against Li Tie, and today he also got a great release.

At the press conference after the game, Mourinho was also eloquent.

"We found a way to deal with Li Tie, and we found a way to win. We did a good job. The defense is world-class, which is very important. Although we are still 9 points behind, there are still 14 rounds in the league. Anything is possible."

And Queiroz was very disdainful of the opponent's style of play. He said: "When you face a team with 11 people defending, it is simply a nightmare. Pepe's fouls are a bit sloppy. Young people sometimes make mistakes. He is still a very good boy and the future belongs to him."

The European preliminaries came again, the league was suspended again, and the international players of each team left one after another.

Li Tie also went back to China to deal with the Northeast Boys Club.

During the winter break, the loss of team players was very serious. Most of the players of the right age chose to go abroad, and many players went to the Bundesliga and the Russian League.

These two leagues have also become a platform for those relatively ordinary players.

Chinese young players are relatively cheap, and these two leagues are also happy to accept them.

It is easy to play in the Bundesliga, and it is not bad to be a rotation player at least.And to go to the Russian League, basically because the distance is closer, it is convenient to go home, and you can go back to the Northeast by train.

Therefore, the 81-85 group of players in the Little Boys Club basically all left, and the remaining players are basically post-85 guys.

In addition to going abroad, there are also a large number of domestic clubs to choose from. The Little Boys Club also does not want to keep them. Anyone who wants to go can go.

This is the club's business philosophy. After all, Li Tie spent a lot of money investing in the Little Boys Club. The infrastructure is the best among domestic clubs.

Of course, now other clubs have followed suit, not only improving the infrastructure, but also supporting the football school, and paying close attention to cultural lessons. This is the role model of the Little Boys Club.

Letting these people leave, the club earned a lot of transfer fees, but it also caused a very serious loss of first-team personnel. Let alone group training, even 11 people could not be selected.

Fortunately, the three foreign aids Adriano, Modric and Ronaldo are still there. They scored 66 goals in the Super League last year, making them the best trident combination in the frontcourt.

It's not that no one wanted them, but after the club retained them, the three also decided to play for another year.

However, Adriano is 21 years old, at most he will play in the summer transfer window, and he will leave China to play in the five major leagues.

Both Modric and Ronaldo are 18 years old, and they can continue to train in China for a few years.

With three people as the core and supplementing other players, this is basically all right.

Because the Chinese Super League is becoming more and more fierce, the team coach Higgins also feels that always using too young players will easily affect their careers.

Therefore, for the club's first team this time, the club still has to focus on slightly older players.

In addition to selecting players from the benches of other clubs and college players, the club's scouts actually selected a group of amateur players this time, which surprised Li Tie, so he decided to go back and take a look.

After arriving at the club, Li Tie quickly obtained the information of these players. They were indeed amateurs, and some of them were college students.

After watching their training, Li Tie also felt that this is really a group of players worth cultivating, although they are not young anymore.

One of them is a Bashu player named Lin Sen. He is a technical secondary school graduate and has worked in a factory before.

Because the factory formed a team to participate in the local amateur league, it was discovered by scouts from the Northeast Boys Club.

This player's speed is very fast, the speed of 11 meters without the ball has reached 1.6 seconds, and his physical fitness is also very good. Although his height is not very high, only [-] meters [-], he has work under his feet.

25 years old is indeed a bit old, but is this not a double chance?
There is also a player named Lai Yongxin, who is 1.8 meters tall, has a very fierce defense, and is also 26 years old.

Several college students are about 22 years old, and their abilities are relatively average. However, they play football with their brains. As defensive players, they still have merits.

In addition, there are a few young players who are definitely less capable than professional players, but their physical fitness is quite good.

These players can indeed be used as regular players for the club.

"I think we should sign them all and make good use of their characteristics." Li Tie said to Higgins immediately after reading it.

Higgins nodded, as he expected.

The chance of defending the title this year is not great, but relying on a few foreign aids, it is not completely impossible.

However, if you train these players and the young players born in 85, there should be a lot to do this season.
