Chapter 184 This is... a double goal!
[Damn, Chelsea runs so slowly? ]
[He reacted quickly to return to defense, but he didn't run at full speed at the beginning. No one expected that Richardson's long pass would directly find Gasted in the front. Don't say it, although this guy is terrible at defense, he is still very fierce when it comes to attacking.]
[Oh my god, Villa's No. 39 is so pretentious? He went to Chelsea's goal to get the ball back, really wanting to catch up? ]
[It is understandable. Now that 8 rounds have passed, Villa only has 5 points. If they don’t get some points, they will have to play in the Championship next season.]
[You can’t get points from Chelsea, let’s see how King Jiang beats them]
[He's still the King of Football. If Gasted's shot hadn't gone in, Jiang Yuan would have received a yellow card. I guess Jiang Yuan didn't expect Hill to pass the ball so decisively.]
[There is no other way. If we don’t shovel it now, we will have no chance! ]
【Come on Chelsea! Come on! Come on! 】
[I saw in the news yesterday that Jiang Yuan seemed to have signed an endorsement contract. Does anyone know what he endorsed? I am ready to support him.]
[I definitely support him, as long as Jiang Yuan doesn’t endorse BBA. I really can’t afford those things…]
[Don’t endorse a condom, hahahaha! ]
[What's wrong with condoms? I'm here to make money, no need to shudder. Condoms are condoms. Although I've been sterilized, I would support Xiao Jiang if he really endorsed condoms! ]
[9 goals in 7 games, keep going, beat Aguero! ]
……
"Up! Up!"
After conceding a goal, Mourinho seemed a little nervous, and used his hands and mouth to signal the players to cheer up.
There were 15 minutes left in the game, and a 3-goal lead was fine, but a 2-goal lead would be nothing. After all, this is a top league, and 15 minutes is enough to change a lot of things.
In order to deal with Villa's counterattack, Mourinho asked Fabregas to pull the defense line back. The Spaniard has become more and more proficient in his current position of defensive midfielder. As a backcourt sweeper, as long as he retreats, Chelsea's entire defense line will move back.
The game is still going on. Because Chelsea actively retreated their defense line, Villa finally got more ball possession. The most obvious manifestation was in their positioning on the field. Villa can now enter Chelsea's half many times.
Mourinho's actions undoubtedly relaxed the team's control of the ball in the frontcourt. Although the ball possession rate was reduced, it was also able to avoid Villa's long pass counterattacks.
After all, if they really run, Chelsea's midfielders and forwards, except Jiang Yuan, have no speed!
"Traore! Traore passed the ball to Grealish, who tried to break through on the right, pulling the ball with his left and right feet. Hiss - this young English player's ability to control the ball is really great, look at his breakthrough..."
"Oh my God, Grealish used a deep-fried meatball to get past William! But fortunately, Fabregas was coming this way and Grealish couldn't go any further"
"Looking back, they passed the ball to Guy, who then passed it to Westwood. After finding that the right side was blocked, Villa wanted to move the attack line to the left side. But there is a problem here, because Jiang Yuan has defensive ability, Chelsea's defense on the right side will be stronger than on the left side. Let's see how Villa makes this choice first."
"Westwood...passed the ball straight to Traore, but Traore missed it! Villa wanted to replicate the one-on-one goal they had scored before, and Gasteid got the ball in the frontcourt."
"But this wasn't just a corner kick. Chelsea's defense was very dense. When Gasteid got the ball, there were at least four defensive players in front of him."
"Just shoot!"
"Begovic caught the ball easily. It was a wild shot! After scoring the goal, Gastede seemed to not take the Chelsea goalkeeper seriously. It was indeed a bit outrageous to shoot from this position. Jiang Yuan would not shoot directly from here..."
"Fuck!"
Seeing Begovic hug the ball, Sherwood cursed.
As a center forward with not very strong long-range shooting ability, Gastede should not give up the ball so easily. Especially in the current situation, it is very difficult for Villa to get the ball.
"gogogo!"
On the other hand, Chelsea's counterattack has already begun!
Begovic threw the ball in front of Fabregas. After getting the ball, Fabregas couldn't find a suitable passing point and wanted to dribble forward by himself.
Unfortunately, the team's Spanish midfielder found that he could no longer run, so he turned around and passed the ball to Matic, who took on the task of advancing the ball.
"Matic dribbled the ball forward, Hill was in front and tried to interfere, but Matic was not panicked at all and passed the ball back to Zouma, who then passed it to Matic. It was a standard two-pass combination, and Matic got rid of Hill and regained control of the ball."
"The Villa players on the field are running back. They seem to realize something is wrong. Look at Matic, slowing down... passing the ball!"
"Oh my god, Matic penetrated Gastede and Traore and successfully passed the ball to William's feet"
"William! Look at William, turning around with the ball!"
"Very good, William looked left and right after getting the ball, but Villa seemed to have learned the lesson from the first half. Jiang Yuan and Hazard were both closely watched. There was no choice but for William to try to lob the ball to Costa. Let's see if Costa can use his height advantage to hold the ball."
"After pushing Richards away, Costa got the first point, but it was still a long distance from the goal, so Costa chose to head the ball back to William."
At this time, William had an idea. He took advantage of the moment when Richards' vision was blocked by Costa to dribble the ball forward quickly, bypassing Costa and coming to the same level as Richards.
There was no other way. Richards knew he must not let William pass, and with the obstruction of Costa, he successfully tripped William with his foot.
"Wow!"
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle and called a tactical foul on Villa. The only drawback was that William was almost able to enter the penalty area, so it was just a free kick.
Chelsea has a direct free kick opportunity in the frontcourt!
Costa kicked the ball up from the ground and passed it to Jiang Yuan. It was already the 9th round of the league, and the Blues players knew very well who should be given the free kick in this position.
There is no doubt that Jiang Yuan is the choice, and the only choice!
“Plop, plop, plop!”
There was a lot of water on the ball from the grass. In order to ensure the friction of the ball, Jiang Yuan held the ball with his jersey and wiped it carefully, and then placed the ball behind the white arc.
William and Jiang Yuan both stood on the left side of the ball, Jiang Yuan in front and William behind.
The referee blew the whistle, Jiang Yuan raised his right hand, he was going to shoot directly!
Zouma and Azpilicueta looked at each other, and both of them were ready to force their way through the human wall in front of Jiang Yuan.
Start the run-up... Just before Jiang Yuan hit the ball, Zouma and Azpilicueta acted at the same time, one pushing out on each side, leaving space for one person in the middle.
"boom!"
Jiang Yuan's free kick just passed through that empty space, but it didn't go through it, but went over it.
The ball flew towards the goal, but because Zouma and Azpilicueta blocked Guzan's view, his save was a little late, and the ball went into the net before he landed.
"HOLY SHIT!"
"GOOOOOO-AAAAAAA-LLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Amazing! How wonderful it is!"
The wall of people that was originally pushing and shoving suddenly stopped moving after Jiang Yuan scored a goal. Villa players lowered their heads, while Chelsea players all rushed out.
Jiang Yuan opened his arms and ran while roaring, followed by a group of zombies wearing blue jerseys.
If the fans at Stamford Bridge could understand Chinese, Jiang Yuan would like to shout...
"Heizi speak!"
……
With Jiang Yuan's direct free kick in the 82nd minute, Chelsea regained a 3-goal lead. At the same time, Jiang Yuan also completed his second brace in the Premier League.
9 goals in 7 games, 2 doubles!
The best player in September was Aguero who scored hat tricks in consecutive games. So what about October?
The fourth official raised the sign and because there were not many fouls, the extra time was only 2 minutes.
The outcome was already decided, but Villa still had one last chance to fight back.
"call--!"
Westwood stretched out his foot to intercept William's ball, then kicked the ball directly to Richards, who passed the ball to Hutton.
"boom!"
Seeing that there was not much time left, Hutton made a long pass. After Guy took Hazard away, Grealish got the ball without being marked.
"Villa's counterattack opportunity, this is likely to be the last attack of the game. Although the defeat is certain, Villa can still catch up with a goal. Let's see what Villa does."
"Glarish! The one with the ball now is Grealish, and on the left is Traore who came on as a substitute. Grealish passed the ball to Traore. Hill was on the left side, but Traore had no intention of passing the ball and chose to give it to Grealish again."
"What a great run! Grealish's sudden acceleration made Fabregas a little slow to react, but Fabregas chased back very quickly and blocked Grealish's inside cut."
"Keep dribbling the ball, Villa's left side is moving forward and Chelsea's defense is shrinking"
"Pass the ball? Not yet? It's already at the end line, and the cross is finally made. Fabregas stretches his foot but can't reach the ball. Ouch, Grealish's cross hits the side net directly, what a pity!"
Grealish lost his balance and lay on the ground, watching his ball go out of bounds with a helpless look on his face.
“Beep, beep—!”
Referee Easter blew the whistle to end the game, and the home team finally defeated their opponents 4:1!
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Mourinho personally handed Jiang Yuan a coat. He was not good at praising others, and these few simple words were the greatest compliment to Mourinho.
……
After the victory over Villa, Chelsea's devilish schedule returned, with only 4 days left before their Champions League away game against Dynamo Kyiv. After the game against Dynamo Kyiv, there will be another league game 4 days later, and there are only 3 days between the Carabao Cup and the Premier League!
On average, there is one match every four days, which is an overload for professional players. So even though they have to play in the Champions League next, Mourinho still gave the players a day off. A good rest will not easily cause injuries. Even a fool knows this. In Mourinho's view, it is better to let the players go to the bar to drink instead of letting them practice more.
In the eyes of professional players, alcohol is a good way to relax. After a day's fatigue, they drink sip after sip of cold beer, slowly entering a state of tipsiness, and the muscle pain and mental stress are paralyzed by alcohol.
Even some people in the team, such as Terry and Hazard, can't sleep well without drinking some beer. In this case, Mourinho can't say anything.
For example, right now, there is a 50% chance that Hazard and Terry are drinking in Connaught.
Why 50%? Because there is a 50% chance that they will go to The Shard. The styles of the two bars are completely different. If they go to Connaught, they will invite some beautiful female models, while at The Shard, they just drink and talk about good buddies.
As for which one to go to, it depends on the mood of these two guys.
……
Cobham, afternoon off.
[You have completed the designated training task and obtained cell regeneration once]
Your bone density increases
"call--"
Jiang Yuan sat on the grass at the base, trained for a whole day, and then got his cells regenerated. This feeling of fullness of body was really wonderful.
For Jiang Yuan, the cell regeneration rewarded by the system is like a powerful alcohol!
At this moment, Jiang Yuan received a call from his coach Brown. After learning that Jiang Yuan was still at the training base, Brown drove a GLE series Benz into the Cobham base with Mourinho sitting in the passenger seat.
Jiang Yuan, who had just finished training, came over and said, "Jose, Leon, good evening!"
"Jiang, come with me!"
Mourinho high-fived Jiang Yuan, then motioned for Jiang Yuan to follow him into the office in the main building.
Jiang Yuan was confused by this. Mourinho was undoubtedly trying to discuss something related to training or the game. But the problem was that, according to Jiang Yuan's understanding, the Portuguese had no habit of working overtime on their days off.
But since Mourinho asked for this, Jiang Yuan would definitely not say anything more. He changed into slippers and followed him.
Mourinho's office still looks the same as the last time he came, with a sofa, a coffee table, and a simple refrigerator with various juices.
Of course, there was beer in the mix, but only Mourinho and Brown knew about it at Cobham.
"Jiang, I thought you were out having fun. By the way, have you considered renting a house in London?"
Mourinho asked Brown to pour Jiang Yuan a glass of refrigerated juice, but when he saw the sweat on Jiang Yuan's body, Mourinho asked Brown to take the juice away.
"If you don't like renting a house, I can suggest that the club advance you half a year's salary so that you can buy a house in London."
Mourinho was right. Including bonuses, Jiang Yuan's half-year salary could be close to 150 million pounds. Although he could not afford a luxury villa, he would definitely have no problem buying a house in central London.
However, what surprised Mourinho was that Jiang Yuan declined his offer: "I can take the salary in advance, but forget about buying a house."
"Ha ha!"
Mourinho laughed: "Do you want to live in a villa? That's no problem, the price of a villa in the suburbs of Cobham is enough!"
Jiang Yuan still shook his head: "No, what I mean is, a villa of more than 200 square meters, three floors, decorated very luxuriously. In the end, there is only one person living in it, which doesn't feel good. It's better to live in the base and see the stadium when I wake up every day. This is very important to me."
"Okay, I won't talk to you about this anymore!"
Mourinho waved his hand. He could not figure out Jiang Yuan's thoughts in just a few seconds. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mourinho got straight to the point: "Do you know why I came to see you? I was having dinner with my family today, and suddenly I remembered something. Can you guess what it is?"
Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes, looking thoughtful, and then said, "How much salad dressing should I add to macaroni?"
"Fuck you!"
Mourinho raised his middle finger: "Jiang, how many times have I told you that it is normal to eat macaroni with salad dressing. The Portuguese, the English, the Italians, the whole of Europe eats it this way!"
"I didn't say it was abnormal, but don't you think you added too much? It's just a plate of macaroni, and you ate more salad dressing than me, Eden, and Kurt combined!"
I don’t know when it started, but Jiang Yuan gradually started to like teasing Mourinho about the way he ate salad dressing.
"You are the athletes and I am the coach, how can it be the same?"
Mourinho rolled his eyes at Jiang Yuan and said, "Let's talk business first. I have a few questions for you about the game, but today is a post-match holiday stipulated by the club. According to British law, I need your permission before asking you questions."
Logically speaking, Mourinho's days off should be spent with his family, but since entering the Champions League zone, his pressure seems to have become even greater.
At least, when Mourinho was about to resign in the relegation zone, he felt relieved!
"Jose, please!"
Since Mourinho said it was "serious business", Jiang Yuan naturally behaved more seriously to avoid the Portuguese causing trouble for him after the training started tomorrow.
"it is good!"
Mourinho paused, then said something shocking: "If I put you on the left, can you play better than Youlanlu?"
???
Jiang Yuan had a series of question marks above his head: "What? You don't want Eden anymore?"
"What do you mean by no Eden? The team doctor reported to me that Eden's quadriceps was uncomfortable, so he can't play in the next game. I originally planned to let Falcao replace Eden, but I suddenly remembered that you played on the left. So, let's see what you think."
So that’s it!
Jiang Yuan nodded. Mourinho’s words almost scared him.
At the press conference last night, Mourinho said that Hazard should be able to play against Dynamo Kyiv, but now it seems that the "should" in Mourinho's mouth means that he will definitely not be able to play!
"But, Jose. If I were to arrange the lineup, you wouldn't scold me, would you?"
"Damn it, who asked you to arrange the lineup?"
Mourinho said unhappily: "I want to ask you, if you are asked to play on the left, can you play better than on the right? If you can play better, then I will put you on the left the day after tomorrow, and Kennedy will play in your position."
"Jose, remember the game against Southampton, I played as a left winger in the second half and I scored a goal"
Jiang Yuan did not give a yes or no answer, but he had already given the answer.
"Then it's settled. You play on the left and I'll let Falcao play on the right. Okay, Jiang, you can go now!"
After saying this, Mourinho decisively sent the guest away. He was not good at handling interpersonal relationships and did not think there was anything wrong with this.
Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate and got up and left.
He still has 6 hours of training to complete in the evening!
"correct!"
The moment Jiang Yuan touched the door handle, Mourinho suddenly called out to him: "There are still three days before the game, be careful not to leak the starting lineup, those reporters are bastards!"
Jiang Yuan gave a thumbs up.
"Jose, I'm not stupid"
……
After Jiang Yuan left, Brown took out two cans of Nitrosurge beer from the back of the refrigerator, opened them and handed them to Mourinho: "Cheers, Jose, you let Jiang start as the left winger, aren't you afraid that he will not want to go to the right side?"
Brown's concerns are reasonable. From their previous interactions, Brown understands that the biggest difference between Jiang Yuan and other Asian players is not his talent, but his extraordinary ambition.
If Jiang Yuan is allowed to taste the sweetness once, considering Jiang Yuan's incredible competitive form this season, the conflict between him and Hazard will be inevitable.
Unexpectedly, Mourinho just shook the beer in his hand and said, "Leon, tell me first, what kind of person do you think Eden is?"
"Well... perfect ball skills, excellent dribbling, good rhythm..."
"I'm asking about personality. What do you think of Eden's personality?"
"This……"
Brown was a little confused by Mourinho's question, but still answered: "Calm, calm. Although it may be impolite to say this, I don't think he has the desire to win. He is like a Belgian child with anxiety disorder."
"That's right!"
Mourinho put Nitrosurge on the coffee table: "So, Eden needs pressure, and in the whole Chelsea, only Jiang can give him pressure!"
"I let Jiang play on the left. He will definitely feel that he has a chance to replace Eden. In order to achieve this goal, he must work harder. Then there is Eden. Kennedy can't put pressure on him. Falcao can't put pressure on him, but Jiang can. Look at Jiang's performance this season. Let alone Eden himself, I am nervous for him!"
Mourinho's tone became more and more excited, and Brown trembled as he listened.
This Portuguese guy wants Jiang Yuan and Hazard to bite each other!
