Chapter 199 Mourinho: What do you want to do?
"Jiang Yuan ran easily and caught up with Coutinho who was sprinting at full speed. Hmm...it seemed that Jiang Yuan was provoking his opponent, but it was impossible to tell what he was saying from his lip movements."
"A tackle on the ground! A very clean tackle, without any suspicion of foul. Jiang Yuan kicked the ball out, and Liverpool's attack was forcibly stopped!"
"Haha, it's rare to find such an aggressive striker in the Premier League. On the defensive end, Jiang Yuan is as reliable as a full-back."
"Coach Zhan, I don't think that's true. If we often watch Jiang Yuan's games, we will find that Jiang Yuan's ability on the defensive end is limited to tackling. If it's one-on-two or one-on-many, Jiang Yuan's role is very limited..."
As an old generation football commentator, Zhang Lu's comments have always been very objective. Chelsea's coaching staff is also trying to solve this problem. Brown has even made a special plan for this, but it has not yet been implemented.
According to Mourinho, before Jiang Yuan's offensive abilities are fully explored, attention should not be shifted to defense.
The reason is simple. If you want to strengthen the defense, it is more cost-effective to spend 1000 million euros to buy a substitute for Ivanovic.
After all, Jiang Yuan's untapped potential on the offensive end is worth far more than 1000 million euros!
In the 93rd minute of the game, Liverpool launched an attack on the right. After completing a steal, Emre Can passed the ball to substitute Jordan Ibe, who dribbled forward.
Because of Falcao's passive defense, Jordan Ibe successfully came to Chelsea's half, and the person responsible for defending him was Oscar, who had just been substituted by Mourinho.
Oscar stretched out his foot to try to steal the ball, but Iby dodged it with a beautiful fried meatball.
"Wow! With this name and this dribble, let's see if Liverpool's Jordan can help the team turn the situation around. Time is running out, but we all know that the name Jordan represents miracles!"
"Emre Can ran to the middle and played a wall pass with Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic went to the bottom... and cut inside. Azpilicueta didn't react and didn't follow him at the first time."
"But it doesn't matter. Chelsea still has Fabregas in the middle. Wait, Fabregas' position is blocked by Lallana, and there is also Cahill. Because of Benteke's presence, Chelsea's two central defenders dare not come out of the penalty area."
"Ibi cuts inside and kicks the ball directly!"
"duang!"
The ball hit the crossbar and bounced to Zouma's feet, who decisively kicked the ball towards the opponent's baseline.
“Beep, beep—!”
Referee Clattenburg blew the whistle to end the game, and Chelsea, playing at home, defeated Liverpool 3:1.
Unfortunately, Liverpool's Jordan is not Jordan. Ibe missed the goal at the last minute, which also means that he missed the best opportunity to make his value skyrocket.
"Jiang, great show!"
Coutinho came over and shook hands with Jiang Yuan, and took off his clothes: "Want to change jerseys?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan quickly took off his clothes.
Coutinho took off his clothes first and then asked, showing his sincerity. In this situation, Jiang Yuan would definitely not refuse, and there was no need for him to refuse.
At this moment, Klopp suddenly came over and stretched out his right hand to Jiang Yuan: "Hello, Jiang!"
"Ok?"
Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand. Klopp's palm was very big, giving him a solid and rough feeling.
After shaking hands, Jiang Yuan was about to walk back to the player tunnel, but Klopp pulled him back: "Hey, wait!"
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
Klopp smiled, took out his phone, and prepared to add Jiang Yuan as a contact on WhatsApp: "Nice guy, if you are interested in coming to Liverpool, please contact me!"
Having just come from Germany, Klopp's English is still a little poor, but he can already carry out some simple communication.
Jiang Yuan was of course very happy to get Klopp's recognition. Just as he was about to run back to the locker room to get his mobile phone, Mourinho suddenly stood between him and Klopp.
The Portuguese looked serious and stared into Klopp's eyes: "Mate, what are you doing?"
"Oh!"
Klopp spread his hands with an awkward smile on his face: "Friend, just some talks between friends! Keep calm!"
Afterwards, Klopp took the initiative to extend his hand. The handshake between the two head coaches after the game had actually ended, but in order to express his goodwill, Klopp
Mourinho had a stern face, but shook Klopp's hand out of politeness: "I hope you understand that poaching in front of me is not a good thing"
Liverpool is now on a five-game losing streak in the league. Klopp was already in a very annoyed state. Provoked by Mourinho's words, he exerted force with his right hand.
"!"
Feeling the pain, Mourinho's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he exerted force with his right hand, and the two men immediately started to compete with each other.
"Look into my eyes, look into my eyes!"
Klopp held Mourinho's right hand and pointed to his eyes with his left hand. Looking into the eyes when shaking hands is considered a polite behavior all over the world, and in the eyes of Germans, this is especially important. If you don't look into the eyes when shaking hands with a German, I'm sorry, the German may be very angry.
"fuck you"
Mourinho was not convinced and cursed at Klopp's head. He was not as strong as Klopp, but Mourinho was not afraid if a fight really came up.
"Hey, hey, hey, calm down, calm down!"
The coaching staff and team doctors of both teams rushed over to pull the two apart, and even the players who were about to return to the locker room were attracted over.
Brown pushed Mourinho away, who put his hand on Brown's shoulder and kept saying, "You told me to calm down, but it's actually you who should calm down, Jurgen, think about it!"
"fuck off!"
Although he has only been at Liverpool for less than a month, Klopp has learned some swear words very well. After all, these words are very useful during team training, and some players just need to be sweared at before they behave.
Except for Terry and Hazard who were still leaving the stadium, all other players had rushed over. Jiang Yuan and Zouma pushed Mourinho back little by little.
At this moment, Mourinho suddenly changed direction, got rid of Jiang Yuan and Zouma, and rushed towards Klopp.
"shit!"
Jiang Yuan cursed loudly, it’s okay to defend against the opponent, he even has to defend against the head coach!
Complaints aside, Jiang Yuan knew very well that Mourinho and Klopp could not be allowed to meet at this time. Based on the current state of these two people, they would definitely fight.
So Jiang Yuan suddenly pushed out, accelerated a few times, caught up with Mourinho, and hugged him tightly: "Jose, I need you to calm down!"
The commotion outside the field finally attracted the referee Clattenburg, and Klopp and Mourinho were both shown red cards.
"wow!!"
"Fight! Fight!"
"..."
The Chelsea fans in the stadium are the happiest now. Not only did the team win, but after the game, there was a quarrel between the head coaches of both teams on the spot. Today's tickets are really worth buying!
"Terry, damn it, come here!"
William anxiously called Terry, who had just given his jersey to a little fan in the first stand. After learning that Mourinho and Klopp were both shown red cards, Terry's reaction was confused.
Hurry up and get up!
This was Terry's first reaction. He bypassed the referees and took Mourinho from Jiang Yuan. "Jose, listen to me. Listen to me. Calm down and go back to the locker room first, okay?"
Terry was obviously more experienced in dealing with such matters than Jiang Yuan. Mourinho waved his hand and walked towards the player tunnel alone.
"call--"
After confirming that Mourinho had gone back, Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. As the instigator of the conflict, he witnessed the entire process from the handshake to the quarrel. If Jiang Yuan had to comment, he could only say that both of them had lost control of their tempers in this matter.
"Hey, Jiang!"
At this moment, Zuma rushed over from the side and patted Jiang Yuan on the back: "You scared me to death, I thought we were going to fight?"
"What? Why are we fighting?" Zuma rubbed his hands. "We are Jose's players. Jurgen actually dared to scold our coach. I will beat him to death!"
In Zuma's eyes, the cause of the conflict is not important, what is important is which side he should stand on.
"Ha ha!"
Jiang Yuan's tense mood relaxed and he smiled: "I will be responsible for defending Jordan!"
……
In the locker room, Mourinho held his right wrist with his left hand, and his right hand was visibly red. It was obvious that the fight with Klopp had made him suffer a lot. There was no way, Klopp was much taller and heavier than Mourinho, so it was normal for him to have a stronger grip.
"Fuck Jurgen!"
The team's Portuguese coach squeezed Hazard aside and sat on the bench in the locker room. Coincidentally, he sat exactly where Jiang Yuan sat, leaving Jiang Yuan with no place to sit.
At this time, Kennedy stood up and whispered in Jiang Yuan's ear: "Jiang, please take my seat."
"It's okay, I'll sit on the bed!"
Jiang Yuan rejected Kennedy's kindness. He rested his butt on the edge of the therapy bed and leaned his body backwards, feeling quite comfortable.
Mourinho pointed at Terry and Jiang Yuan and said, "Why did you two pull me away?"
Jiang Yuan touched his nose and said nothing. Terry explained awkwardly: "Jose, Jurgen is very strong. I'm afraid you will get hurt..."
It may not be clear on TV, but as spectators on the scene, Mourinho is clearly at a disadvantage. In this case, there is nothing wrong with Terry, as Mourinho's player, pushing him away.
"Injured? Are you kidding me?"
Mourinho seemed to be still angry: "If you hadn't pulled me away, Jurgen would be in the ambulance now!"
All the Chelsea players in the locker room were speechless. If they had to say it was Mourinho, this guy could never lose when it came to talking.
“Pah, pah, alright, alright!”
Brown immediately stood up and stood between Terry and Mourinho: "Let's not talk about this. We won the game today, 3:1, we beat Liverpool 3:1, this is a great victory, why are we arguing?"
"And our hat trick man today..."
Brown pointed at Jiang Yuan who was standing next to the therapy bed with two fingers: "Mr. Jiang!"
"Wow~!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Zouma was the first to call out, followed by Terry and other players. There is no doubt that Jiang Yuan is the best player of today's game.
Chelsea's first league hat-trick this season came from the team's new Chinese player, Jiang!
"Ha ha"
Jiang Yuan was originally quite calm. He did not feel embarrassed by McLaughlin's boasting on the microphone. Instead, it was the applause from his teammates in the locker room that made Jiang Yuan blush.
"Actually it was all thanks to Eden. If he hadn't given me the penalty, this hat trick would have been impossible..."
Hazard waved his hand: "Jiang, what do you mean by that? Didn't you score the penalty based on your own strength? If you keep saying that, I won't give you any more penalties in the future!"
Terry walked over to Jiang Yuan and hugged Jiang Yuan's arm: "Jiang, how many hat tricks do we have this season? League + Champions League"
"3!"
Jiang Yuan answered without hesitation that every hat trick of the team was impressive to the 11 players on the field including the head coach. Even if Terry asked him after the end of the season, he could still answer it.
"So how many did you take?"
Jiang Yuan touched his nose and replied a little embarrassedly: "Um... 3"
"That would be great!"
Terry slapped Jiang Yuan on the back, then pulled up one of Jiang Yuan's arms and raised it high: "Mr....hat trick!"
"Everyone!"
"Doh-doh-doh doh-doh-doh doh-doh~"
"Doh-doh-doh doh-doh-doh doh-doh~"
The team's DJ Oscar took out a small BOSE speaker from the cabinet and played one of the hottest pop songs in the UK at the moment, "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson.
Oscar took out a microphone that came with a BOSE speaker from the logistics guy's backpack, turned the knob to the maximum volume, and then walked to Jiang Yuan unsteadily: "doh-doh-doh, wow~! To our Mr. hat trick! (Cheers to our Mr. Hat Trick!)"
“Hold on, hold on! (Wait, wait!)”
Jiang Yuan suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop partying. The prelude of "Uptown Funk" was still playing. Jiang Yuan walked in front of Mourinho and then looked around at his teammates in the locker room: "Don't forget, there is also our Mr. Coach, come on José!"
"Ha ha!"
Mourinho stood up excitedly: "Thank you everyone, as you can see, this is a victory for us, a victory for us!"
Mourinho was suddenly excited and stretched out his hands to high-five Jiang Yuan.
"Snapped!"
“Oh my god, shit!”
The team's Portuguese coach then remembered that his hand was still injured, and the high-five with Jiang Yuan almost broke his bones.
"Hey, Jose, are you okay?"
Jiang Yuan was terrified because he had just faintly heard a "crack" sound.
Terry pushed Zouma out of the locker room: "Clarkson! Go find Clarkson! He should still be packing up on the court. Ask him to bring the first aid kit!"
PS: Clarkson is Chelsea’s team doctor and was mentioned once in the previous article.

Excerpt from the original text of "My Premier League Players' Back Desk", with a total score of 60 points, this work scored 56 points, the highest score for the nine schools' joint entrance examination essay:
【During my first and second year of high school, I always admired and respected my deskmate. He was a Premier League player who always wanted to score goals for the team. He used his hard work to tell everyone that there was still hope for Chinese football.
My back table is a Premier League player who plays as the core player in a top team. Winning is his duty and scoring is his goal. He works hard every day to change the current situation of Chinese football. Even though he knows how difficult it is, he still rushes to the front line without hesitation, because this is his duty!
Yes, this is my deskmate, a professional player in the English Premier League, who is determined to be at the forefront of the league. Even with a worth of tens of millions of euros and an annual salary of one million pounds, these cannot, cannot change his original intention!
Last October, when he was about to leave China to pursue his football dream in the Iberian Peninsula, he said goodbye to me. I still remember what he said at the time, "If I succeed, I will protect you in the future."
My player sitting behind me is not only a player with commendable professionalism, but also a good brother who values friendship over loyalty.
The table behind me...my table behind me...】
