Chapter 159 There are many kings in London, but there is only one fake king

[I'm just sloppy, and it's another step-in. Xiao Jiang's dribbling technique is so good that I never get tired of it. I want to learn it too!]

[He actually chose to pass the ball back. Other players would never pass the ball. I can only say that Jiang Yuan has a good sense of teamwork, because if he chooses to pass the ball back, the chances of scoring a goal will indeed be higher! ]

[So, if Hazard is not in good shape, why does he still play on the left? Can't Jiang Yuan see that the right side is so big? ]

[How should I put it? Hazard is worth 7000 million euros, Jiang Yuan is worth 2000 million euros, 7000 million euros>2000 million euros, so it is normal for Hazard to be the core. What is there to say?]

[Damn, can market value determine everything? In addition to his current state, Hazard's tactical value is definitely not as good as Jiang Yuan's. Believe me, make Jiang Yuan on the right the core, or just put Xiao Jiang back on the left and let Hazard play on the right]

[Let Hazard play on the right? You are so bold. Not to mention Hazard himself disagrees, Chelsea fans probably won't agree. You are really awesome to take away someone's core position as soon as you come to Chelsea]

[This ball is really cool, Matic's long shot is as accurate as ever]

[What a precision! Jiang Yuan has already knocked Joe Hart down. If Matic can’t score again, he won’t have to go to work at Cobham tomorrow.]

[Manchester City really cares about Hazard. Whenever Hazard gets the ball, there are at least two people defending him. Is this the treatment of 2 million? ]

[Brothers, let me coach Chelsea. I will put Hazard on the bench and Xiao Jiang will play on the left. Don't ask why. If you ask, you will have to be on the bench.]

……

"Beep beep beep!"

Referee Atkinson blew the whistle to end the game. The home team defeated the Blues 3-1 with Aguero's double and Kompany's long-range shot.

After this game, Chelsea has 0 points and a goal difference of -3 goals, tied with West Ham United for second to last. Sunderland is ranked last with a goal difference of -4 goals, which is a difference between them and Chelsea.

I guess Sunderland never imagined that one day they would be so close to the Premier League giants!
After the game, Mourinho and Terry attended a press conference, and what awaited them was the judgment of newspapers from various countries.

A middle-aged man with a beard raised his hand, and Mourinho chose him: "Hello, I'm Castis from The Sun..."

"The Sun, don't ask questions"

Mourinho waved his hand, motioning Castis to sit back down, then pointed to the blonde female reporter in front of Castis and said, "You come."

The female reporter's eyes lit up and she stood up quickly: "Hello, I'm Bonnie from The Guardian. I'd like to ask, what do you think about the team's current problems? Or why do you think Chelsea suffered two consecutive defeats at the start of the season?"

Mourinho crossed his fingers and looked unhappy: "The players are not in good condition, this is one reason, but I also admit that there is a problem with my tactics, and I will change it. Change someone, you come!"

"I'm Rayleigh from The Times. You just said that the team has tactical problems. Does that mean you will take responsibility for it?"

Mourinho replied calmly: "Of course, the coach must take responsibility for the team's loss, this is indisputable"

"There were rumors before that..."

Mourinho interrupted Riley who was speaking: "You have finished asking your questions. Next, the one in the blue suit, it's you!"

"Well... I'm Mossen Kyle, a reporter from the Daily Mail, and my question is for Eden. I'd like to ask Eden, everyone thinks that your performance in the two games this season was poor, I'd like to ask if you're going through any trouble?"

Among the three reporters who were called up just now, Mossenkiel can be said to be the most experienced one. He asked Hazard if he was experiencing any trouble. The implication was that he wanted to ask Hazard whether there were any off-court factors that caused his game state to decline.

But as Chelsea's current star player, how could Hazard be so easily exposed: "Trouble? My trouble now is that I didn't play well in the game, which is unacceptable to me. Two failures don't mean anything. I will give everything I have for Chelsea!"

Moshenkel changed the subject and said, "Mr. Jose, regarding the team's new players, the team's new Asian player Jiang performed very well in the game. Can he get more opportunities in the next game?"

Mourinho neither nodded nor shook his head: "It depends on the situation at that time. Players with ability will get more opportunities. As for whether they can still start, I'm sorry, I can't answer you this question."

"Ok!"

Moshenkyle nodded: "Two defeats in a row at the start of the season, especially the loss to Swansea..."

"Sir, you've already asked 2 questions, I think you should give others some chances!"

Mourinho motioned for Mosenkyr to sit down, but Mosenkyr ignored him and continued, "Mr. Jose, do you think you might be fired? You know, if this continues, the fans at Stamford Bridge will not accept this result!"

Hearing this, Mourinho licked his lips, stood up from his chair, walked to Mosenkyer, and stretched out the three middle fingers of his right hand: "Three"

"I won three Premier League titles with Chelsea. Three! Do you know what this means? My number of Premier League titles is second only to Sir Alex Ferguson! Is there anyone in the Premier League who has more titles than me?"

"Who? No one!"

Mourinho spread his hands and left the scene under the gaze of reporters. Hazard looked confused, holding the Budweiser beer in his hand, staring blankly at Mourinho's disappearing back.

The commercial hasn't even finished running, why are you leaving first?
……

A week later, Chelsea lost 0-2 away at the Hawthorns Stadium of West Bromwich Albion. They have lost all three games at the start of this season and have a total of 0 points. They are currently ranked last in the league, tied with Aston Villa.

To be precise, it is not a tie, because Aston Villa is one goal ahead in goal difference, and Chelsea is actually ranked 1th!
The BIG6 of the Premier League is ranked last after three rounds. The King of West London has suddenly become the focus of global football. Reporters from major newspapers also seized this news and wrote articles fiercely, fearing that some people may not know that Chelsea is ranked last.

"Marca" - Premier League giants Chelsea have 3 points in 0 rounds. Is Mourinho facing the crisis of being fired?

ESPN - Chelsea management intends to recall 09 FA Cup-winning coach Hiddink, and the Dutchman is open to returning to the Blues.

"Record" - After three defeats and a goal difference of -5, the arrogant Mourinho finally became a joke.

China Sports Daily - In the third round of the Premier League this season, Chelsea lost to West Bromwich Albion 2-65 at The Hawthorns. In the 1th minute, Jiang Yuan replaced William as a substitute, had 0 shot, 16 shots on target, touches in total, and few chances.

"Football News" - Transfer to Chelsea will be a lifelong regret, the 17-year-old talented winger is not reused by the Portuguese coach, and the Portuguese Super League's best rookie currently has an average score of only 5.7! "Qingshan Middle School Newspaper" - Our student Jiang Yuan started once and was a substitute once in the Premier League giant Chelsea. As the tactical core, he made many wonderful passes to his teammates. He has made 1 assist in 1 games so far, and conquering England is just around the corner!

Originally these reports were nothing special, but the appearance of The Sun immediately put Chelsea in the spotlight.

The Sun's front page headline + cover in bold font - Half a month ago, Chelsea players were photographed by reporters appearing at the Connaught Bar. According to the reporter, except for Diego Costa who was injured at the time, all other Chelsea players were present.

It is not uncommon for professional players to go to bars to play, but at this point in time, the Sun's assist dealt a heavy blow to the already fragile Chelsea, and the fans' mental state gradually became abnormal.

At 8 a.m. on August 23rd, Beijing time, which was in the evening of British time, London police arrested a naked young man near Big Ben. After police investigation, the suspect was found to be a Chelsea fan who had been suffering from insomnia recently and was becoming increasingly irritable due to the poor performance of the home team.

So, The Sun took immediate action and arranged for Castis to conduct an interview in the Fulham district of London, where the Stamford Bridge is located, early the next morning. The interviewees were Chelsea fans of all ages.

Custis held the microphone and waited for his assistant to start the live broadcast before randomly grabbing a bald uncle passing by. The uncle was wearing a Chelsea fan version jersey from last season with the player number printed on the back: 10, Hazard
"Hello, I'm Custis, a reporter from The Sun. Sir, can I ask you a few questions?"

Custis handed the microphone to the bald man, who responded: "of coruse!"

The uncle was very enthusiastic, and Castis couldn't help but feel happy about it: "Hello, I would like to ask what you think of Chelsea's performance this season. Is their performance qualified?"

Hearing the word "Chelsea", the bald uncle suddenly frowned: "Of course we are not qualified. God, can you imagine that we were the champions last season, and after 3 rounds, we only have 0 points. Forget about the European war, we can only play in the Championship next season!"

The bald uncle couldn't control his temper, and the tone of his voice almost scared Castis.

"Cough cough!"

Custis coughed twice. As a reporter for The Sun, he showed full professionalism: "Do you think the team's poor performance is related to the players' indulgence in the bar?"

The uncle frowned: "There must be a reason, but I don't think all Chelsea players are wrong"

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Custis smelled news in the uncle.

"My daughter Carla met Jiang, our new number 7, at the Connaught bar. You know, I was very happy when I heard the news, thinking that my daughter was going to date a Premier League player! But can you believe it? Jiang asked Carla to leave the room. I couldn't believe it. Do you know my daughter's figure? She has a great figure. I don't understand why Jiang asked her to leave. If the two of them were dating, my God! If that were the case, I would be able to meet all the players at Chelsea!"

The uncle started gesturing with his hands, wanting to tell Castis how great her daughter's figure was. Castis was delighted after hearing the uncle's description.

This is a headline!

So, Custis quickly asked: "Jiang asked your daughter... Kara, Jiang asked Kara to go out, do you know why?"

Hearing this, the bald uncle straightened his chest and said with a serious expression: "Well, the main reason is that my daughter rejected him. Although they are not partners now, they are also friends!"

"..."

Custis felt something was wrong: "So, can you contact Jiang now?"

The uncle shook his head: "I'm afraid that won't work. You know, the players are very busy. I'm afraid it won't work now! But I already have Jiang's contact information!"

"..."

Custis's mouth twitched.

Fuck, after all this time, this guy is just a braggart!
Premier League players are like superstars in England, and the last thing they need is people spreading rumors. The bald uncle kept talking, but he couldn't produce any evidence.

As we all know, The Sun only tells the truth. You don’t even have any evidence, so what are you talking about?

So, Castis gave up the idea of ​​finding news from the uncle: "Sir, what do you think of the performance of the Blues' new player this season, the new No. 7 Jiang from China, and is he worth 1300 million euros?"

The uncle shrugged: "Of course, Jiang is a very good player. My good friends and I think he is definitely worth 1300 million euros. I am a fan of Hazard, but to be honest, Mourinho does give Jiang too few opportunities."

As the uncle spoke, he showed his Chelsea jersey in front of the camera. Unfortunately, as last season's champion team, there was no pride in his eyes when he revealed that he was a Chelsea fan.

Castis' eyes lit up: "So you also think Mourinho has made a tactical deviation?"

The uncle nodded: "Because Mourinho has won the Premier League title three times, I still respect him. But I must say that Chelsea has big problems this season. More than half of the players are not in good shape. I feel that we are no longer a strong team this season."

Although the words may sound a bit harsh, these are definitely the uncle's true thoughts.

Castis quickly wrote down the uncle's words and continued to ask: "Can you talk about Chelsea's problems from the fans' perspective?"

The uncle didn't expect Castis to ask so much in-depth questions. He felt respected, so he took the microphone from Castis's hand and said, "First, on the left, Hazard was in poor condition. Coupled with the extra defense of other teams on our left, Hazard was restricted. Then on the right, William seemed to have lost his memory for some reason. He dribbled past the defense, passed the ball, and then nothing happened. I really don't know if he forgot his long-range shooting ability. Why play as a striker if he can't shoot?"

What the uncle said does make sense, and he probably watched a lot of professional football games. Modern football gradually requires full-backs to participate in the offense, which has also led to many wingers gradually losing their ability to explode on the wing.

In order to ensure Hazard's absolute core position in the offensive end, Mourinho almost used William as a winger.

The uncle glanced at the camera, then touched his bald head and said, "Mr. Reporter, is this live now?"

Seeing Custis nod, the bald uncle summarized the interview.

"Sir, there are many kings in London, but there is only one fake king in London. Now Chelsea is the most fake king in London, the fake king."
