Chapter 375 JuJu?
"Come on, can you tell me the reason?"
"Reason? I've already informed you via text message that you shouldn't be here today."
As Mourinho said, he informed Pogba via text message, telling the Frenchman that he did not need to come to training today, but Pogba ignored the text message.
Pogba's expression was speechless with a hint of embarrassment: "I don't think I did anything wrong. If you don't tell me the reason, then I should be able to come to training. This is my job."
"You know now that this is your job?"
Mourinho almost shouted over, looked at Brown and said, "What did Paul and the newspaper say?"
The reason why the Portuguese was so angry was because he knew about Pogba's leak. Players and coaches were tacitly prohibited from disclosing what happened in the locker room. However, Pogba not only failed to do so, he even deliberately "modified" some key information in order to make public opinion favor him.
In Mourinho's eyes, Pogba is a villain who dares to do things but not to take responsibility, a complete villain!
Brown was silent for a while. Obviously, he did not expect Mourinho to ask him about the details even though he knew the situation. He did not want to offend either side, so he simply did not say anything.
Pogba spread his hands: "I think I did nothing wrong, Cesc did it too, why didn't you find him?"
???
Hearing this, all the players on the field looked at Fabregas at the same time. The latter had evasive eyes and looked a little nervous.
Damn, Pogba is so quick to sell out his teammates!
"It's you I'm looking for!"
Mourinho, his hands still in his trouser pockets, shouted: "Paul, out!"
Three consecutive "out"s were enough to show that Mourinho was not joking. Pogba was also confused now, standing there not knowing what to do. At this time, Rozovic came over, put his hand on Pogba's chest, stepped back gently, and whispered: "Go to the gym"
What Rozovic meant was that Pogba now needs to avoid appearing in the same venue with Mourinho, but he can't really just roll out of the Cobham base as Mourinho said. From this point of view, the gym or the second team training ground is the most suitable place for Pogba to stay.
However, the fact is that Pogba left the first-team training ground and then drove away from Cobham in his Rolls-Royce Wraith.
At 5 pm, Terry, Zouma, Kante, and Jiang Yuan, who were off for training, were preparing to go to Pogba's house to visit the guy who was kicked out of the base. Zouma and Kante set out from the base, but were stopped by Mourinho. In the end, only Terry and Jiang Yuan successfully arrived at Pogba's house.
In the villa parking lot, Terry's phantom parked next to Pogba's ghost, and there was a yellow Chevrolet in the garage.
"what is this?"
Jiang Yuan pointed at the Chevrolet next to the Rolls-Royce and asked, "Does Paul have this car?"
Based on Jiang Yuan's understanding of Pogba, he should not buy a car like Chevrolet.
"It might be his chef's car. I remember he had an Italian chef's. We had dinner at Paul's house before. Do you remember?"
Terry didn't look into it too much, but the Chevrolet wasn't expensive but it wasn't particularly cheap either, and its price was very suitable for a well-paid private chef.
"Well, probably not."
Jiang Yuan touched his head and took a look at the license plate of the car.
It starts with LS and it was a new car last year. Judging from the timeline, it may indeed be the car of Pogba’s Italian private chef.
But Jiang Yuan had met Pogba's chef when he came here to eat before. She was an Italian aunt who already had a family. Logically speaking, a housewife should not drive a yellow Chevrolet like this.
Regardless of all this, Terry and Jiang Yuan came to the second floor of the villa. Because there was security near the first floor gate and it was very safe, the rooms on the second floor were not locked.
But after entering the second floor, the two found something wrong. Pogba's villa was sold for nearly 500 million pounds. The lighting was very good. It was not late at night, but it was ridiculously dark inside.
When I walked inside, I found that Pogba had pulled all the curtains on the second floor.
"John, Jiang!"
Pogba, who had heard the news in advance, came out of the room after hearing the noise. When he saw Terry and Jiang Yuan, he greeted them first, and then asked, "Where are Kurt and N'Golo?"
Jiang Yuan and Terry looked at each other, and Jiang Yuan finally answered the question: "The two of them were blocked by fans in the city, and they probably can't come tonight. Paul, why did you draw the curtains?"
As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Terry ran up, grabbed Pogba's shoulders with both hands, and shouted: "Are you sucking something?"
"what?"
Pogba frowned, then laughed: "Nonono, follow me"
Jiang Yuan reached out to pull the balcony curtains, but was stopped by Pogba.
"Why?"
Jiang Yuan felt very confused about Pogba's behavior.
It’s fine if you don’t turn on the lights, but what’s the point of even drawing the curtains?
"Now is the most important time, you must not draw the curtains!"
Pogba was muttering in a mysterious way, which made Jiang Yuan look confused. Finally, he followed Pogba to the door of a room.
The door of this room was very small. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the storage room on the second floor of the villa. However, there was a candle lit on both sides of the door. The candles emitted a faint yellow light. Because the whole floor was dark, the candle light immediately attracted Jiang Yuan's attention.
“what is this… … ”
Terry had just opened his mouth when Pogba pushed open the door, revealing the situation inside the room.
A fat black man was sitting on the stool. He was bald and wearing ragged white clothes with strange patterns on the front. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the owner of the Chevrolet.
In front of the bald black man was a doll made of clay, which was about half a meter long from the feet to the head, and there were strange things painted on the doll's body.
Terry turned to look at Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yuan turned to look at Terry. Both of them realized that something was wrong.
“Paul?”
Jiang Yuan patted Pogba on the shoulder: "What is this?"
Pogba made a shushing gesture to Jiang Yuan and Terry: "Now is the most critical moment, don't rush to speak"
Oh oh.
Jiang Yuan didn't understand this, so he and Terry just watched from the side.
"Moo-hmm, moo-hmm"
"Moo, moo, moo...moo-mmm, moo-mmm"
The bald man stared at the doll with his eyes fixed, holding a tattered sack in his hand, and making constant cow noises from his mouth.
To be honest, this sound is not just unpleasant, but weird. Really damn weird!
After about half a minute, the bald black man took out a dead toad from his feet.
He stuffed the dead toad into the sack, then took out a black hair and stuffed it into the bag as well.
With Jiang Yuan and Terry as witnesses, the wizard placed the sack between the doll's legs.
The stench of decay filled the room, but the wizard acted as if nothing had happened. He clasped his hands together and continued to make strange cow noises.
Finally, something amazing happened. The wizard just shouted a few times, and the doll's head and neck suddenly broke.
boom!
The doll's head hit the table and broke into pieces, revealing a photo inside. Jiang Yuan and Terry recognized the person in the photo as Mourinho at a glance, but Mourinho's head in the photo was burned off by fire.
"Oh! Jesus!"
Terry, who felt something was wrong, wanted to stop Pogba's behavior, but was stopped by Pogba with his hand as soon as he opened his mouth. Then Terry looked at Jiang Yuan, only to see Jiang Yuan, the materialistic warrior, standing aside with an indifferent look on his face.
Terry:???
"Moo, um, moo, moo~"
"Hmmmm...moo~moo~moo~"
The strange bull noise came out of the wizard's mouth again, and then turned into a miserable cry. After the cry stopped, the wizard stood up and Pogba immediately walked over: "Did it work?"
Cough!
The wizard coughed twice, and looked a little weak after casting the spell. Pogba quickly handed the wizard a glass of water. The latter took a sip and then slowly said: "The juju spell I used is the most harmful one. I can't say it will succeed, but it will definitely work."
This wizard is from Guinea in Africa, and the juju he uses is the most popular witchcraft there, which can curse the target person.
This kind of witchcraft is divided into different levels, and the prices of different levels range from a few hundred euros to tens of thousands of euros. Pogba bought the highest level of witchcraft, and it was a package. The wizard not only used JuJu to cast a spell on Mourinho, but also made an amulet called Gri-Gri for Pogba. The combined effect of the two makes the success rate extremely high.
"Come on, Paul, you can't do this!"
Terry, who fully reacted, spread his hands to Pogba: "You shouldn't use witchcraft to curse Jose, this is absolutely wrong"
"I'm not cursing, I'm blessing myself"
Pogba explained, but Terry didn't listen at all.
Damn, Mourinho’s head is missing in the photo. How can this be a good thing?
Terry wanted Pogba to take back the black magic, but Pogba firmly disagreed. In order to perform this witchcraft, he had gone to great lengths to get Mourinho's hair.
Moreover, the wizard said that his black magic is top-notch in the world.
Once the black magic is cast, there is no possibility of taking it back!
Terry had no choice but to ask Jiang Yuan for help: "Quick, Jiang, use your Chinese magic to save us, please!"
"Hey, come on!"
Jiang Yuan held back his laughter and spread his hands. Having grown up in China and received nine years of compulsory education, he simply did not believe in such things.
However, whether Jiang Yuan believes in this witchcraft is one thing, and whether Pogba did this is another. In any case, Pogba should not do this to his coach.
Terry and Jiang Yuan dissuaded Pogba from his behavior, and the Frenchman apologized frantically, but as the wizard said, his black magic was of the highest level, and once it was cast, there was no way to deal with it.
Jiang Yuan wanted to treat this kind of thing as a joke, but Terry and Pogba looked so serious that Jiang Yuan was speechless.
"Paul, why are you doing this?"
Jiang Yuan asked Pogba, although he had a good relationship with Pogba, the Frenchman was indeed a bit too much in doing this to Mourinho.
In response, Pogba shrugged nonchalantly and said to Jiang Yuan: "I heard that you Chinese people don't like the Japanese. Jiang, is there a Japanese person you particularly hate? I'll find someone to help you curse him!"
"nonono!"
Jiang Yuan quickly called for a stop. Pogba had cast a spell on Mourinho, but he even wanted to cast a spell on others. It was obvious that this guy had been using witchcraft for a long time.
Terry put his hand on Pogba's back: "Paul, listen, don't do these things next time, okay? You will put Jose in danger. What if he really gets into trouble?"
"I know, I know, this is the last time, I will never play again"
The captain said don't do it, so Pogba of course nodded in response.
Coming out of the room and sitting in the driver's seat of the Phantom, Terry turned his head to look at Jiang Yuan who was sitting in the passenger seat on his left hand side: "You said...Jose should be okay, right?"
"without"
"May?!"
"Sorry sorry"
Jiang Yuan apologized repeatedly, and accidentally spoke Chinese out of habit, so he quickly explained: "Jose will be fine, John, just think about it, if this kind of thing can really succeed, why don't those wizards give themselves a blessing, the kind that specializes in making pounds?"
"But the doll's head fell off..."
Terry was reluctant to start the car, and Jiang Yuan could see obvious fear in the England captain's eyes.
The wizard makes the doll's head fall on the seat without any contact with the doll, which seems very cool. In fact, magicians can also do this kind of thing, but the atmosphere at that time is more gloomy, and you may feel scary if you are in it.
If the doll loses its head, does that mean Mourinho will definitely lose his head too? They are not the same thing, so how could there be any connection between the two?
Jiang Yuan thought so, but Terry did not. In Terry's eyes, Pogba is the real devil Satan.
……
Pogba did not show up at the training ground for the next two days. It was not until the pre-match mobilization meeting on the afternoon of the 2th that Pogba finally got permission from Mourinho to enter the first-team training ground. As everyone expected, Pogba was still in the starting lineup, but as a substitute.
Half an hour before the game, Chelsea officially announced the starting lineup on Twitter, and Fabregas replacing Pogba in the starting lineup became a sensation.
At the pre-match press conference, reporters asked Mourinho about Pogba's substitute.
“We saw Paul come on as a substitute in this game. Was he injured in yesterday’s game?”
In the past, Mourinho would follow the instructions given by the reporters, but the Portuguese did not do so today.
"Paul has disciplinary problems. When faced with players who have serious disciplinary problems, we must give appropriate punishments."
At the match at the Moorings Stadium, Burnley, playing at home, led Chelsea 2:0 in the first half. It was not until the 60th minute of the game that Mourinho let Pogba come on.
It was just because he was a substitute, so Pogba's attitude towards the game was very lazy. In the end, the game ended with a score of 2:0.
That’s right, Chelsea suffered an upset and lost to the newly promoted team Burnley!
The post-match press conference was quite lively, with reporters constantly asking Mourinho questions, and the Portuguese was well prepared.
"Maybe like you said, if we start with Paul we might be able to win, but sometimes things are not that simple."
This sentence has many meanings. First of all, Mourinho admitted that if he considered tactics and the players' personal abilities, he should have let Pogba play, but if he really let Pogba start after committing the crime, it would be very detrimental to the future development of the player and the team.
All clubs should ban this kind of dressing room leaks, and Chelsea certainly needs to do so.
Although they were shutout away from home, the Blues fans did not blame Mourinho because it was Pogba who leaked the information first. Most people still stood on Mourinho's side very rationally.
Of course, when a player is strong enough, some of his shortcomings will be selectively ignored by the fans.
Even though Pogba leaked the inside story of the locker room to the media, there are still many victory-oriented fans who firmly stand on the side of the Frenchman. As a result, Chelsea now not only has discord between players and coaches, but also divisions among fans themselves.
In addition, with Liverpool defeating Tottenham at home, the ranking of the Premier League standings changed again.
The top four teams, Tottenham, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool, all had 25 points after the 50th round. This phenomenon has never happened in the history of the five major leagues.
It is said that the strength of the Premier League giants this season is almost the same, but I didn’t expect them to be so similar.
Four of the BIG6 teams are making every effort. Arsenal and Manchester United have formed a sworn brotherhood, with 4 points and 44 points respectively, which perfectly distributes the remaining two European competition places.
But these two teams are slightly different from the top four. The points gap between them and the teams behind them is very small. There is only a 1-point difference in points between Manchester United in sixth place and Everton in seventh place, and only a 8-point gap between them and Bournemouth in eighth place.
The Premier League is a family, we are all brothers. If you win a game and I win a game, the scores won’t be so far apart, and the league will be more exciting!
Ranked third after 25 rounds, Chelsea is a bit collapsed this season compared to last season, but before the players and coaching staff have time to adjust, the fifth round of the FA Cup arrived as scheduled.
伦敦时间2月18日下午3点,也就是北京时间的2月19日凌晨1点。
Because the UK is now in winter time, the original 7-hour time difference has become 8 hours, which is a huge challenge for Premier League fans far away in China.
At this time in the away team's locker room, Chelsea's starting players were ready. Ibrahimovic was suspended for three games for a direct red card in the Premier League. This punishment applies to all competitions under the English Football Association, including the FA Cup, so Remy is still the starting center forward in this game.
"OK, everybody..."
Mourinho looked around at all the players present, and when he saw Pogba, his facial muscles, which had been relaxed, suddenly tensed up again.
Pogba returned to the starting lineup in today's game, but this was not what Mourinho intended. In Mourinho's expectation, Pogba would be on the bench for at least 2-3 games. Unfortunately, after the last defeat to Burnley, Abramovich had a private chat with Mourinho and made it clear that Pogba would definitely be in the starting lineup.
"Paul has the same status as Jiang and Eden. No matter what bad things they do, you must guarantee their starting positions. This is the bottom line!"
These are Abramovich’s original words. Since the boss has said so, what else can Mourinho do?
Half an hour later, PP Sports Live began its exclusive broadcast of this round of the FA Cup. Except for the final and semi-finals, all other rounds of matches were paid, and this one was no exception.
Because the competition was paid, many people flocked to the Huanledou website to watch the competition.
A free live broadcast room on a certain Happy Beans website.
"Ok, guys, now it's the 5th round of the FA Cup, Wolves vs. Chelsea. Chelsea had good luck in the draw, getting the only Championship team in the th round."
"But in fact, this season's Wolves are still very strong and may even be promoted to the Premier League. I even think that this season's Wolves are stronger than some of the bottom teams in the Premier League, such as Burnley."
"Anchor, the direction of this game..."
"I think Chelsea will win the game with a 2.5-goal margin. The key is whether Wolves can score a goal. I personally think they can't score a goal."
"Fans who want to place bets can join the fan group at the top of the screen. The fan group has daily red ticket recommendations and guaranteed payout tickets."
"Or friends who don't have a soccer website can try the website we use for our live broadcast room. Now we offer a 1:1 first deposit bonus, and withdrawals are credited to your account in seconds, without any risk."
"Let's take a look at the roster for today's game."
"..."
As Pogba appeared on the field, Chelsea fans in the away stands immediately cheered.
Although Pogba has done something wrong, the fans are very realistic and they all know that if they want to win, bringing Pogba up is the best option.
If it was the Fabregas of the season before last, it might have been of some use, but this season's Fabregas is really the worst it can be.
At the beginning of the game, Alonso got the ball in the backcourt and made a long pass forward, successfully sending it to Remy. Unfortunately, Remy did not have the physical foundation of Ibrahimovic, and was still weaker than the Wolves players in the confrontation, and the ball was taken by Wolves.
"Wolves, it's time to attack. The midfielders don't have to rush to pass the ball. Just do it yourself and move forward."
"Pogba, charge forward! Look at our Pogba's performance today. Charge forward, charge forward!"
"Get it! Damn, this Wolves midfielder is really cunning, he tricked Pogba over and then passed the ball away directly"
"What... Chelsea is going to be finished, what are you talking about, Chelsea can't lose today, at least win by 3 goals, just watch"
"Wolves' attack, this No. 14, who is this No. 14, I don't know who he is, but his dribbling speed is pretty good, cross it!"
"Pass it to the middle, Alonso, clear it out!"
"Yes, Alonso's air defense is a bit rubbish, but he is indeed faster than Zouma. There is no problem using Alonso against Wolves."
The game was in the 14th minute and the gap between the two sides had not yet been fully revealed, but Chelsea got a chance to counterattack at this time. Alonso's clearance went right into Hazard's arms.
Fans familiar with Chelsea know that the Blues’ scoring rate from counterattacks is very high.
[Akun, you should stop being a host. Mourinho didn’t let Zouma play because he wanted to protect his knee. It had nothing to do with tactics.]
[Chelsea’s defense is indeed okay, but this is only good when compared with the frontcourt, where a lot of the main players are gone]
[Anchor, if you can call out the name of a Wolves player, I will recognize you as a true fan. Can you please call out one? Don't give out the number. This is a 480P pirated AV. We may not be able to see it clearly even if you call out the number.]
[That’s right, what’s the point of shouting Chelsea players’ names? Who doesn’t know Chelsea players?]
[Anchor, do some homework]
【666666】
【感觉切尔西这场不是很稳,还好没有停主播的买3:0,感觉2:1或者3:1的比分还可以】
[3:0 eggs, a 3-year old fan tells you, if you buy using A Kun’s plan, you will go bankrupt in a few weeks]
[Akun’s live broadcast is good to watch, but if you really want to buy it, you should go to the next live broadcast room]
[That anchor next door is also an idiot. He bought a 4:1 for the match between Liverpool and Chelsea and said Liverpool could score 3 goals in the second half with one more player. Isn't this just a clown? ]
[Rubbish anchor, if Chelsea wins by 2.5 goals in this game, I will be angry with you]
"What the hell, Chelsea can't score 3 goals, are you kidding me?"
"Although Ibrahimovic is suspended, with the combination of Jiang Yuan, Hazard and Pogba, it is possible for Chelsea to easily score 3 or even 4 goals against Wolves. User ksh3234, just wait to be angry with the anchor."
"The anchor can only say Jiang Yuan, Hazard, and Pogba. Does he know anything about football?"
"To be honest, A Kun is telling you today that understanding football doesn't mean you can call out the names of the players. Being able to correctly predict the score is what it means to truly understand football. Just wait and see, Wolves will concede at least one goal in the first half."
As soon as Akun finished speaking, Hazard found an opportunity in the middle and passed the ball to Remy with an extremely precise pass.
“Here!”
Seeing Remi control the ball, Jiang Yuan shouted decisively. Remi pushed away the defender who was responsible for marking him and successfully passed the ball to Jiang Yuan's feet, who kicked it directly into the goal.
"boom!"
“Gooooaaaaallllll!!!!”
"Number 7, Jiang!"
It was a familiar feeling. The center forward received the pass from Hazard and then passed the ball to Jiang Yuan. This was a tactic that Chelsea liked very much. What they needed to make use of was Jiang Yuan's abnormal finishing ability in front of the goal.
This situation seems to be rare when Ibrahimovic is on the court, because Ibrahimovic plays more independently. He is not like Remy who will pass the ball to Jiang Yuan crazily.
The center on the field now is Remi. Although he is a substitute player, he has better activated Jiang Yuan's finishing ability.
"Fuck, what did I say? What did I say?"
"All rise!"
The sound of a gaming chair falling to the ground was heard from the live broadcast room. From the sound, it could be heard that A Kun in the room really stood up!
In the VIP box, Abramovich, who was invited to the scene, walked out of the glass door, holding a wine glass in one hand, and stared at Mourinho, who was lying on the grass with his hands in his pockets.
Mourinho always says that he is professional in arranging lineups and tactics, but today's facts prove that there is nothing wrong with Abramovich forcing Mourinho to start Pogba.
Abramovich is different from Mourinho. The Russian is a pure capitalist, and capitalists usually attach great importance to privileges.
It is true that Pogba is arrogant and difficult to discipline, but the problem is that Abramovich believes that Pogba has the capital to be arrogant.
The game entered the 30th minute and the home team Wolves found a good opportunity.
Although they are not playing in the same league as Chelsea, the Wolves players are very clear about Chelsea's characteristics. When playing against Chelsea, it is a taboo to attack from the wing, especially on Chelsea's left wing. Jiang Yuan, who often returns to defense, cooperates with Kante, who has a strong covering ability, and can often play very exciting cooperation when facing wing attacks.
Considering this situation, Edwards rejected Coady's pass and signaled his teammates to pass the ball to the middle.
Coady was also very smart. When he saw Edwards raising his hand, he did not force to go to the right, but made a long pass directly to Weiman on the left. The latter raised his leg and knocked the ball back to the middle, and the ball came to the feet of midfielder Pique Giles.
"It's given to No. 19. Wolves' attacking intention is very clear, which is to attack Chelsea's middle road."
"Chelsea, how do we deal with this?"
For a gambler like A Kun who bets on 2.5, he is not nervous when Chelsea attacks, but he is really nervous when Wolves attack!
"Hey! Here!"
Costa went down the right side and reached out to Pierce. Although he seemed to be moving very fast, he was just a cover. Chelsea players were not stupid. They only arranged Azpilicueta to guard Costa. The others were either guarding Edwards or running to the middle.
Among them, Jiang Yuan secretly touched Pierce's side, and no one knew what he wanted to do.
Snapped!
Pierce seized the opportunity and passed the ball straight to center forward Boisson. This player was extremely tall, 1 meters tall. In the Championship League, centers of this height are rare.
If you want to deal with a player of this height, the central defender must come up and defend him personally, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable for the midfielder.
But Chelsea is a special team, they have a defensive midfielder who is more than 1 meters tall!
"Pogba! Come straight on, and fight against Bovaska 1 on 1!"
"Boles, Boles can't get the upper hand in the confrontation. This buddy is very uncomfortable now. I just want him to see my strength."
"Wow, awesome! Great steal! Boba starts observing! The Wolves players are very nervous now! Jiang Yuan is already walking to the front court!"
Pogba completed the steal by positioning himself, so after getting the ball he did not create any distance between himself and Bovas, which meant that he had to pass the ball quickly.
And quickly capturing the positions of players in the frontcourt happens to be one of Pogba's talents.
