The Sun's front page headline - After defeating Stoke City, Hazard and Terry were spotted spending the night at the Printworks luxury bar, with Hazard behaving intimately with a Norwegian model.

Chelsea legend Addy-Desailly - If you want to achieve good results, Mourinho must strictly manage the players. Ranieri (Chelsea coach in 2000) will not let us indulge. Mourinho is a strict coach, but he can't just look strict. For the team, players should make sacrifices when necessary.

Chelsea club director Roman Abramovich was interviewed by Sky Sport reporter: Mourinho and I have a private agreement that we will not interfere with his decision-making for the time being. In addition, although we lost to Stoke City, our record in the league and the Champions League group stage is very good. I don't think it is a wise choice to change the coach now. Jose is under a lot of pressure and he needs support.

The second article on the front page of "Qingshan Middle School Newspaper" - the marking report of the joint examination of nine schools. Our school's senior Jiang Yuan became the most popular material for Chinese composition, and the second place was Edison's invention of the light bulb.

……

The day after the game, a total of 31 Chelsea first-team players gathered at the Cobham base. Due to poor results, Mourinho canceled the players' holidays.

Mourinho has always been a coach who pays attention to scientific training. From the perspective of sports medicine, the players should be given enough rest time on the second day of a 120-minute match. But Mourinho also understands that the problem with the players is not that the training is unscientific, but that they have lost their fighting spirit on the mental level.

"I am angry"

This was the first sentence Mourinho said. Jiang Yuan and Hazard hid behind Terry and no one dared to breathe.

Mourinho licked his lips and said, "Do you know what I originally thought? We should train, play, drink and celebrate like last season, and finally win a championship. Last season was so wonderful that we haven't gotten over it yet! I won't care about you drinking and dating models, but the problem is that you have to win, but you can't win, this is the most critical problem!"

"Don't pout, I'm talking about you, Eden. Yes, you scored a goal yesterday, but you missed at least two chances to win the game in the second half!"

Mourinho spotted Hazard hiding behind Terry. Hazard touched his nose and then took a step to the left: "Jose, sorry"

"stop!"

Mourinho gestured to Hazard to stop talking: "You have said sorry to me at least 10 times this season, but you have gone to the bar to drink at least ten times that number. Do you know why? Your brains have been paralyzed by alcohol. And you, Terry, you are the captain of the team, but you always look sleepy during training during the day. I am really impressed by you idiots."

I don’t know whether Mourinho did it intentionally or unintentionally, but the two people who were scolded happened to have gone to Printworks for drinks last night.

"Feel sorry!"

Mourinho pursed his lips: "My original plan was to forbid you from drinking the day before the game, but then I thought about it again. Some of you bastards often get drunk. Now, you can't drink for three days before the game. As for when this rule will end, it depends on your performance in the game by then."

Mourinho was in pain when he said this. This was the first time in his coaching career that he banned players from drinking.

On the one hand, Mourinho was once an athlete and knows the importance of alcohol to professional players.

Secondly, Mourinho was afraid that after introducing this rule, he would be resisted by the players, which would affect his voice in the team.

He is different from Ferguson. He is not a coach who is good at controlling the locker room. If some young players have a dispute or resist him, Mourinho can yell at them at the first moment.

But what if Costa and Terry were the ones who rebelled against him? You know, these two guys are definitely troublemakers.

Or what if Hazard rebels against him? What should Mourinho do, using his status as the team's head coach to scare the team's most popular star?
This is not realistic.

Mourinho knows that with his own personality, if a player says "no" to him, Mourinho will 100% start cursing. The result of cursing is that the quarrel will become more and more fierce, and in the end it will have a bad impact on the team.

This is also the reason why Mourinho kept delaying. After finally saying it this time, he was actually a little nervous inside.

Fortunately, after yesterday's game, the Blues players were in a state of self-blame. After Mourinho announced the new rules, no one expressed dissatisfaction.

"call……"

Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the fitness coach Rozovic standing behind him and said, "Run 8 kilometers to sober you up!"

Jiang Yuan licked his lips. He could stand up and tell Mourinho loudly that he was not drinking, but after thinking about it, he realized that he was a member of the team after all, and if they had to run, everyone should run together.

"Beep!"

Rozovic blew the whistle: "Everyone change into sneakers and gather in front of me later!"

Watching the players disband, Brown glanced at Mourinho and said: "I can see that you are under a lot of pressure."

"What can I do? Chelsea needs a big-name player who can calm the locker room. Eden is a big enough player, but he is not a team player. His personality can't help me."

Mourinho is a little frustrated. Compared with last season, Mourinho has taken on several times the pressure this season, precisely because his position in the locker room has been impacted.

Brown sighed: "I have a question, how do you manage whether they drink or not?"

"That's easy. I hired a reporter from The Sun. If anyone from the first team sneaks out to drink, I'll get the news."

After listening to Mourinho's explanation, Brown did not say anything, but just gave the Portuguese a thumbs up to express his most sincere respect.

In one word, wonderful!
At this time, Brown changed the subject: "Jose, if someone really resists you, have you ever considered what to do?"

"You also think I will be forced to leave?"

Mourinho raised his eyebrows with a hint of disdain on his face, but it was unclear whether it was real disdain.

As a confident and even arrogant coach, the Premier League, which is most influenced by money-driven football, is undoubtedly Mourinho's favorite stage.

"I don't know either, but I'm a member of your coaching team. If I want to leave, I have to rent a house in advance."

"Leaving would be less stressful, but if I just leave like this, how is that any different from admitting my incompetence?"

Looking at the players running on the grass, Mourinho had mixed feelings. He had been with the Blues for two years, winning a Premier League title and a League Cup title. It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for the club.

Brown pouted: "Maybe you need a star who can calm everyone down, which will be good for you in the locker room..."

"You also think I can't control the locker room?"

Mourinho interrupted Brown, and the sudden change of mood almost scared Brown: "Jose, you misunderstood what I meant. I just said that this is good for stabilizing the locker room, not that you can't stabilize the locker room. I have been in your team for so many years. If you don't have the ability, why should I follow you?"

"I understand, of course I understand what you mean, but the problem is that the ones who are most likely to stir up trouble in the team are the big names. You know, all players are like this. Once their value increases, their mentality changes. Young players listen to the coach very much, but top players have their own ideas. You can find that the quietest ones here are the young people, Jiang, Kurt, they will make mistakes, but as soon as I speak, they will correct them immediately."

After listening to Mourinho's complaints, Brown lowered his head and looked thoughtful.

"Jiang? You mean Jiang? I don't think this guy looks like a young man at all."

"Why do you say that?"

Brown imitated Mourinho and put his hands in his trouser pockets: "When you said that he had to run 8km to sober up, you have to know that he didn't drink at all, and he didn't make any mistakes. If Jiang was willing to stand up and explain himself at that time, he didn't have to run, but he didn't say anything."

"..."

Mourinho stared at the people running on the field. Jiang Yuan, who had the most physical strength, was running in front of the team, using his body to break the wind for his teammates.

If Jiang Yuan were 10 years older, he might be able to intimidate Chelsea's locker room, but the problem is, this guy is only 17 years old, only 17 years old!

……

At noon, after receiving massage from the physiotherapy team, everyone had lunch in the players' restaurant. It is worth mentioning that Mourinho, who advocated eating in the players' restaurant, did not come today. Only Rozovic was left at the table originally reserved for the coach.

Rozovic was acting strange today. The amount of food on his plate didn't decrease even after half a day, as if his purpose of coming here was not to eat at all.

"Damn, I'm really tired!"

Jiang Yuan sat down on the chair, but felt uncomfortable, so he climbed onto the table and lay down. The table in the restaurant was two meters long, which was just right for lying down.

The 8km penalty run just put him at the target line for activating cell regeneration. He was exhausted and didn’t get any reward, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Zuma saw Jiang Yuan lying on the table, walked over and patted Jiang Yuan’s butt: “Jiang, make room for me, make room for me!”

"Screw you!"

Jiang Yuan lay on the dining table, his hands crossed behind his back, hugging the back of his head, and even crossed his legs. "Jiang, if you're like this, I'll treat you like a dining table!"

Zuma did what he said, ran to the front desk and got a bowl of macaroni with salad, pretending to use Jiang Yuan's head as a dining table. However, Jiang Yuan acted quickly, snatched the macaroni from Zuma's hand, sat up and ate.

"Slurp! Ok, it tastes good. It would be perfect if there was less salad dressing. Salad dressing is too high in calories."

"Fuck!"

Zuma was furious when his food was snatched away, but he didn't know what to do so he could only scold Jiang Yuan.

It seems that Jiang Yuan and Zouma were both in a good mood. The 8km penalty run did not make the two young men have any complaints. But Hazard was different. Although he stopped running after 6km, he still looked weak and listless.

So Jiang Yuan gave Zuma a hint with his eyes, and the latter ran to the front desk to get a new bowl of freshly made pasta. As a result, Jiang Yuan immediately ran over and signaled Zuma to put the pasta back: "Have you ever seen Eden eat pasta?"

Jiang Yuan asked the chef to make a burger, added some ketchup, and put it in Zuma's hand: "Here, you should eat a burger when you are in a bad mood!"

Zouma nodded as if he understood, and he and Jiang Yuan, one holding a hamburger and the other holding pasta, walked towards the table of Hazard and Terry.

"Captain, Eden!"

Jiang Yuan pushed the pasta in front of Terry, and Zouma followed Jiang Yuan's example and put the Angus burger in front of Hazard.

The two looked at the delicious food on the plate without touching it. Terry looked up at Jiang Yuan and said in a guilty tone: "Jiang, I'm sorry for getting you into trouble. You should have told Jose that you were training at Cobham every night and didn't go drinking with us."

"That's right!"

Hazard agreed. Athletes who have been trained since childhood have a very common characteristic, that is, they attach great importance to brotherhood, so experienced professional coaches will use the method of individual mistakes and team punishment to urge players to train.

This is most evident in track and field events. Jamaican star Sean Bolt likes to look back when running 4 meters, but he never looks back when running 100×m (even in some small competitions). The reason is simple: there are teammates.

Jiang Yuan shrugged: "Jose said that we are a team, so we should take the penalty together. It's just a run, what's the big deal?"

"Humph!"

When talking about Mourinho, Hazard suddenly snorted. Jiang Yuan was startled and quickly shut his mouth. The scene was very awkward for a while.

Hazard also realized his problem: "Sorry, we have to play Liverpool the day after tomorrow. For the team, I won't drink for the next two days, not a drop of alcohol."

"I won't drink either!"

Terry gave a thumbs up. Losing the Carabao Cup was nothing, but it would be better to win the Premier League. After all, the league ranking was related to a team's face.

Zuma showed his bright, shining teeth again and clenched his fist with one hand: "So, we have to cheer together!"

Hazard licked his lips, and after being silent for half a minute, the first sentence he said almost confused Jiang Yuan: "Keep working hard! I won't eat a hamburger today!"

As he spoke, Hazard pulled the pasta in front of Terry over and put the hamburger in front of him on Terry's table: "Today is a day of self-discipline."

Terry stretched his neck and said, "Is that why you took my pasta?"

Terry tried to pull his pasta back, but Hazard refused to let go.

"Eden, take your hands off me, I eat very healthily and I can't eat your burger!"

"Don't make a fuss. Today I'm going to be self-disciplined, lose fat, and win the game!"

Zuma looked at Hazard and Terry who were suddenly entangled with each other, his mouth twitched, and he looked at Jiang Yuan for help: "Jiang, what do you think we should do now?"

Jiang Yuan spread his hands and said, "I'll go to the front desk and get another bowl of pasta. You can have this hamburger. Don't waste it."

"no!"

Zuma shook his head and refused: "Eden is self-disciplined, so I must be self-disciplined. Today I eat macaroni, macaroni without salad sauce."

?

Jiang Yuan picked up the burger on the plate and stuffed it into Zuma's mouth: "Eat more, Kurt, you are too skinny."

……

At 10:31 p.m. on October 8st, Beijing time, a focus battle of the Premier League kicked off at Stamford Bridge.

The battle of BIG6, Chelsea VS Liverpool!

"Zhuangdianertai, Zhuangdianertai!"

"This is the live broadcast of the 2015th round of the 16-11 Premier League, Chelsea vs. Liverpool. I am the commentator Zhang Lu, and I am the commentator Zhan Jun."

"We can see that the players on both sides are ready in their positions and the referee is looking at the watch."

"Okay, the game begins! Let me introduce the starting lineups of both teams. First up is the home team Chelsea. It's only been 4 days since the penalty shootout with Stoke City, so many Chelsea players haven't fully recovered their strength. In this game, Falcao replaced Hazard in the starting lineup. In addition, Fabregas, who was suspended for one game due to a red card, returned to the game today. The starting right back Branislav Ivanovic is still absent, and he will be replaced by central defender Kurt Zouma."

"Then there is the visiting team Liverpool. The Reds just experienced a change of coach last month. The new coach Klopp is the former coach of Dortmund. During his time in Dortmund, Klopp led the team to win two German Super Cups, one German Football Association Cup, and two Bundesliga championship trophies. The coaching ability of this German coach is absolutely unquestionable."

Liverpool (4-2-3-1)

Defenders: Alberto Moreno, Sakho, Skrtel, Klein
Midfielders: Lucas, Emre Can, Lallana
Forwards: Coutinho, Milner, Firmino

Goalkeeper: Mignolet

Because Liverpool has suffered many injuries this season, Klopp did not make drastic changes after temporarily joining the team last month, and continued to use the 4231 formation formulated by Rogers, which is also the most popular style of play in the Premier League.

Although both are 4231, the Red and Blue teams have very different formations. The first is the "4231" in 3. For Chelsea, Hazard and Jiang Yuan play the role of wingers. They can both cross from the bottom and cut inside to shoot.

But this is not the case for Liverpool. Coutinho and Milner, the two wings of Liverpool, are more like wingers, forming a structure similar to "3 attacking midfielders" with Lallana. They emphasize more on organizing the offense, unlike Chelsea who likes to play unilateral explosive points with higher risks.

In addition, Chelsea's full-backs rarely go downfield in games, but it is different for Liverpool. The two full-backs Moreno and Triin have good dribbling skills, especially going downfield.

So, the two teams look very similar, but in fact they are very different. But who will win? The discussion about this question will not end until the game is over.

英国赌博网站公司Sportingbet给出的赔率，主胜1赔1.96，客胜1赔2.98，平局1赔3.40。

Because of last season's performance and Liverpool's change of coach midway through the season, Chelsea is generally favored by gamblers around the world.

Of course, what the fans don’t know is that Chelsea’s current locker room is like an active volcano. On the surface, it looks like it’s just spitting out sparks from time to time, which is insignificant, but in fact, no one knows what’s going on underneath the volcano.

People living near volcanoes can choose to escape, but they don't do that because there are always very rich mineral deposits in the soil near active volcanoes.

Dangerous, but opportunities everywhere!
"Falcao has the ball, Emre Can is marking him, and Milner is replaying the ball behind him. Falcao must pass the ball now!"

"Look at the middle, William and Costa are running like crazy, they want to create a good passing point for Falcao, but Lallana and Lucas are watching very closely, Falcao finally chooses to pass the ball back to Mikel"

"Well, just like we said in our pre-match analysis, Falcao's ability to break through on the wing is far inferior to Hazard's. Both of them have the ability to protect the ball and dribble, but Falcao doesn't have the rhythm change of Hazard, so he can't break the situation of being blocked by two people."

"Mikel handed the ball to Fabregas, Jiang Yuan looked for opportunities on the right. In the last match against Stoke City, Jiang Yuan was targeted very hard, but from what we can see so far, Klopp has not made any targeted tactics against Jiang Yuan."

"This is very strange, because we all know that Liverpool is a team that likes to control the ball in the opponent's half. They are used to high-level offense and high-level defense. This tactical system should not allow Jiang Yuan to run into the gap so easily."

"Sure enough, seeing an open space near Jiang Yuan, Fabregas decisively passed the ball."

Jiang Yuan started running, and because he was now near the center line of the court, he had no worries about being offside. He dodged Coutinho and ran forward. The Brazilian was originally a midfielder, and was no match for Jiang Yuan in terms of acceleration. He was left behind by Jiang Yuan in just two or three steps.

The ball flew past Coutinho's left side. Jiang Yuan stretched out his left foot and stopped the ball with a "ta!"

Then...

Speed ​​up again!
