Chapter 196: Battle between Two Armies
"Jiang Yuan chose to pass the ball directly to the middle. Due to the pressure from Lucas and Emre Can, Liverpool's back line was empty. They made the same mistake as Stoke City. William ran to the front and easily took the ball off."

"The ball was passed to Costa, who pulled it with his left foot and pushed it diagonally in front of Falcao's body. Chelsea's attacking speed was very fast, and Liverpool's players seemed to have not yet entered the state."

"Falcao, changing his speed, suddenly accelerating to get rid of Klein, brilliant! Falcao completed a unilateral breakthrough on Klein. Although he did not completely get rid of the defender, Klein could no longer interfere with Falcao's pass."

"Almost at the end line, can pass the ball! Falcao... sudden stop! Inverted triangle pass, oops, Falcao pretends to cross the ball, but actually it is an inverted triangle pass, and the ball comes to William's feet. It's still the same scene, but because of Falcao's forward run, Liverpool's defense line has retreated very much now"

"Oops! Lallana, who was returning to defense, blocked William. It seems that the Brazilian boy has no chance to shoot for the time being."

Originally, after completing the 45-degree long pass, Jiang Yuan should have run to the right baseline, but when he saw Liverpool's defense line retreating, Jiang Yuan's instinctive reaction was to run towards the top of the arc. When he was almost there, he happened to meet the trapped William.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan did not hesitate, turned around to face Liverpool's goal, and then reached out for the ball.

“Here!”

It was a perfect opportunity, and William had no reason not to pass the ball. He just lowered his left shoulder, raised his right foot, and with a standard iron mountain kick, he pushed Lallana out and then passed the ball to Jiang Yuan.

coming!

Jiang Yuan seized the opportunity and made a slight adjustment with his right foot, but it was this step that gave Coutinho a chance. The latter grabbed Jiang Yuan's jersey and pulled Jiang Yuan to the ground.

"Beep!"

Referee Clattenburg blew the whistle decisively.

In the 9th minute of the game, Chelsea got a direct free kick opportunity in a good position. William and Jiang Yuan stood side by side, covering their mouths with their hands, and whispered to each other.

"You kick or I kick?"

William asked Jiang Yuan for his opinion. The position of this free kick was just 50cm near the top white line of the arc. It was a perfect free kick position. It could be passed or shot. If William said he didn't want this ball, it would be a lie.

Jiang Yuan saw William’s thoughts, but he was not upset: “I’ll do it!”

As the team's current free kick taker, Jiang Yuan must seize this opportunity!
"Okay, I'll raise my left hand to pass the ball, and you raise your right hand!"

William stuck out his tongue. Professional football is like this, whoever is stronger has the final say. William has more experience in Chelsea than Jiang Yuan, and his value is higher than Jiang Yuan, but it doesn't matter, because Jiang Yuan's free kick level is on its own level in Chelsea.

"Jiang! Jiang!"

"Fight!"

"..."

Home court is home court. Hearing the cheers of the Blues fans at the scene, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt the pressure, and at the same time, a power rising from the bottom of his heart.

The referee blew the whistle and William started to run. He went straight around and did not shoot.

At the same time, Liverpool's players began to move. Even though they knew that the ball would be given to Jiang Yuan to kick, Liverpool's human wall still had to move with William. It was better to be safe than sorry. If William really kicked the ball, it would be a big trouble.

Jiang Yuan, who was following closely behind, held his breath the whole time, with the outside of his left foot inserted into the grass on the left side of the ball, the inside of his left foot hanging in the air, and his whole body leaning to the left, and then...

Hit the door!

“GOOOOOOOO————AAAAAAAAA——LLLLLLLLLL!!!”

"Number7Yuan Jiang!"

The live commentator McLaughlan stood up immediately. As a Blues fan, he was undoubtedly very excited!

"Wuhu!"

Jiang Yuan put his hands on his sides and ran towards the corner flagpole with a very smooth sliding kneel. The fans in the near stands went crazy, shouting Jiang Yuan's name and trying to break through the defense line of the stadium security.

"Good!"

Costa opened his arms, grabbed Jiang Yuan's shoulders, and then "slammed" Jiang Yuan into his arms.

"Yes! Yes!"

Mourinho raised one arm, expressing his excitement with a seemingly calm gesture.

After the reprimand the day before yesterday, the effect was seen in today's game. These guys are indeed top professional players, their comprehension is really beyond the reach of ordinary people!
While the players were returning to their positions, Mourinho called Jiang Yuan off the field, put a hand on Jiang Yuan's shoulder, and said stealthily: "Listen, I need you to do something next."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt pressured: "What's the matter?"

"Kill the Scousers!"

……

In the 21st minute, 10 minutes after Jiang Yuan scored a free kick, William's pass error was seized by Lucas, who ran up and fell to the ground, intercepted the ball kicked by William halfway, and successfully delivered it to Lallana's feet.

As the core attacking midfielder of the Red Army, Lallana rushed back to receive the ball, turned around, pushed forward with the outside of his foot, and started to move forward decisively.

Seeing this, Terry shouted anxiously: "Cesc, pay attention, he is left-footed!"

Terry's reminder is crucial. Lallana is a two-foot player and can make very beautiful short and long passes with both feet. This means that Fabregas must keep an eye on Lallana's two feet at the same time.

However, it seemed that because Klopp had emphasized it, Lallana did not stick to the ball. Seeing Fabregas rushing towards him, Lallana knocked the ball hard with his right foot and sent the ball to Coutinho.

William was rushing to the right. In order to ensure that there was a receiving point in the frontcourt, Costa ran back to replace William as the defensive midfielder.

"Stuck him!"

William signaled Jiang Yuan to assist in defense, then ran in an arc to Coutinho. Jiang Yuan quickly responded, put a hand on Coutinho's shoulder, and moved with him little by little.

"Step aside!"

Coutinho got angry and pushed Jiang Yuan away with all his strength. He turned back from the left and passed the ball to Moreira who came to receive the ball.

"Chelsea's defense is very good. This is the fourth time Coutinho has passed the ball back after breaking through. It can be seen that Jiang Yuan and William put enough pressure on the defensive end!"

"Moreira slowly walked towards the middle with the ball and passed it to Milner. Wow, a beautiful stop, Coutinho's feet attracted the ball like a magnet"

"Well, this is what we talked about before. The players' basic skills are very solid. Although these players in the top leagues are all strong and powerful, their footwork is really excellent."

"In comparison, Jiang Yuan is a winger with good physical qualities in all aspects, but his ability to protect the ball is a little poor... Milner and Azpilicueta played one-on-one on the wing. Chelsea did not seem to attach as much importance to the defense on the left as on the right. Mikel did not lean to the left, but chose to stay at the top of the arc in the middle to defend Lallana."

"Wow!" Amid the screams of Stamford Bridge fans, Azpilicueta stretched out his foot and kicked the ball directly out of Milner's feet.

Corner kick for Liverpool!

"Well done!"

Begovic ran to the front to high-five Azpilicueta, then touched the goal post with one hand and began to form a human wall.

Chelsea's defensive wall pressure is not as great as Liverpool's, because Chelsea has Terry, Zouma, Fabregas, Jiang Yuan, and Costa, who are all header experts. Except for Stoke City and Bournemouth, Chelsea's corner defense ability is the best in the entire Premier League.

"Beep!"

Emre Can took a corner kick, and Chelsea's penalty area was instantly in chaos. In this game, Jiang Yuan's task was to keep an eye on Coutinho. The Brazilian was less than 1 meters tall, so Jiang Yuan would not be under too much pressure.

"Back a little! Back a little!"

Begovic shouted as the ball flew past him and near the right post. Zouma took advantage of Lucas and jumped up to head the ball out.

"Watch him!"

Firmino stood in front of Begovic, intentionally blocking Begovic's sight, and finally Begovic pushed Firmino directly into Zouma's arms.

As long as the ball does not leave the penalty area, Chelsea's danger still exists. The goalkeeper's vision is blocked. At this time, if a Liverpool player grabs the second point in the penalty area and then takes a long shot, Begovic will not be able to react.

Fortunately, William, who was standing in a forward position, got the second point before Lallana.

At the moment of the offense and defense transition, Falcao and Jiang Yuan rushed out at the same time, trying to create more passing opportunities for William.

Despite this, William did not choose to pass the ball to the wing, but chose to dribble the ball and advance with the ball. His approach is very risky, but it is good for Chelsea's offense.

Because wingers can run faster without the ball!
"Jiang Yuan is leading the way! Hmm~ This kid is still as fast as ever. From the picture, we can see that there is a strong visual impact. Falcao also ran out from the left. His position was a little behind, but he also managed to get rid of Klein. Liverpool is in a bit of danger from this situation."

"Lallana held William with one hand. It was difficult for William to pass the ball now... He stopped suddenly and passed the ball back to Costa! Tsk, William's football IQ is really good."

"Pass it to Mikel, Mikel passes it again, and the ball comes to Falcao's feet. Alas, this pass is not very good, Falcao is forced to stop in order to receive Mikel's pass, and when he stops, he is caught up by Klein"

"What a pity! If Mikel could pass the ball in front of Falcao, this might have become a one-on-one opportunity. Wait! Hazard Falcao took a step in front of the ball, protected it and started to accelerate!"

"Beautiful! In just one minute, Falcao passed Klein twice"

Falcao started to dribble past the opponent at high speed along the sideline, and Stamford Bridge was instantly swallowed up by his name. The shouts did not come from the live commentator, but from tens of thousands of Chelsea fans.

"Hey!"

Falcao rubbed the ball with the inside of his left foot, and the ball passed in front of Skrtel and came to William's feet. In the quick corner kick counterattack, Costa did not have time to return to the center position, so William temporarily played as a center forward.

Now there were only two people in front of William, center back Sakho and goalkeeper Mignolet. However, Skrtel was very smart. After seeing the ball rolling in front of him, he predicted the trajectory and ran diagonally to William's side to interfere with him.

Chelsea's Brazilian attacking midfielder is not good at physical confrontation. After being tackled by Skrtel, he staggered a few steps and almost lost his balance.

We must not lose the ball at this time!
William forced himself to run forward, and his current position was still some distance from the top of the arc. But if it was this distance, it seemed that he had entered the shooting range of one of his teammates...

William pushed forward with his left foot, stopped and turned, stepped on the ball with the front of his right foot, and pushed it to the right: "Jiang!"

!

The ball rolled straight in front of Jiang Yuan. Lallana, who came from behind, wanted to steal the ball, but Jiang Yuan was much closer to the ball than him.

This is an opportunity!
So, Jiang Yuan turned around, ran behind the ball with two or three big steps, swung out his left leg, and then...

Direct shot!

"boom!"

Under the gaze of more than 4 fans at the scene, the ball flew out from Sakho's feet and headed straight for the goal defended by Mignolet.

!!!

Mignolet kicked his right foot and fell to the left. His reaction should have been very fast, but Jiang Yuan's ball was too tricky. Even though Mignolet's body was very stretched, he couldn't reach the ball. The ball hit the left post of the goal and went into the net.

“GGGGGGG—OOOOOOOOO—AAAAAAAAAA—LLLLLLLL!!!”

"Yuan Jiang"

"Chelsea, Liverpool, 2:0!"

"In the 17th minute of the game, Jiang Yuan scored a long-range shot with his left foot from the right, Chelsea 2:0 Liverpool. With his second goal, Jiang Yuan's league goal tally has reached double digits. Oh my god, it's incredible!"

Fortunately, the commentator of Channel 5 does not need to show his face during the live broadcast, otherwise He Wei’s flushed face would probably be ridiculed by the fans!

[Grass, grass, grass, grass, grass, grass, do you have to be so awesome?]

[11 goals in 10 rounds, Jiang Yuan is getting better and better, maybe he can really beat Aguero. Oh my god, this is his first season in the Premier League]

[I've said it before, Messi and Ronaldo are not the kings of football. There is only one true king of football, and that is our Nanbo Seven! ]

[Haha, if Jiang Yuan was born in the Song Dynasty, Gao Qiu would never have been the Grand Commandant]

[Liverpool's Coutinho is quite smart and has good footwork, but unfortunately he ran into Falcao and Jiang Yuan]

[To be honest, this season's Jiang Yuan seems to have the shadow of Hazard last season]

[The above poster obviously doesn't understand football. Hazard is a breakthrough winger. Although he won the best player last season, his total number of goals is only 19, and his assists are 11. Jiang Yuan is more like a fusion of Hazard and Costa, a top winger finisher! ]

[It's really outrageous. Chinese football has been silent for so many years. We go to the temple to worship Buddha every day, but the Buddha came with a big one and placed everyone's wishes on Xiao Jiang alone. Ten stars create a king of football.]

[By the way, will Xiao Jiang go to the U23 Asian Cup? I don’t have any other intentions, I just want to see Xiao Jiang wearing a red jersey…]

[It seems unlikely now, we can only pray. Let me put it this way, I plan to go to Lingyin Temple next week to ask for a sign for the National Olympic Team and Jiang Yuan respectively. If any brothers want to go, please send me a private message directly, so that they can keep you company! ]
