Chapter 212: Score the goal with a volley and kill the horse with a sword!

The ball had been cleared and Courtois immediately ran over, lifted Terry's cramped leg and started to twist his foot.

"shit!"

Terry covered his face with his hands, looking somewhat painful.

Seeing this, Mourinho immediately asked Cahill to warm up. Terry would probably not be able to continue the game in this condition.

After about half a minute, Terry stood up again, and the referee immediately came up to him and asked, "How do you feel?"

Before Terry could answer, the fourth official on the sidelines raised his card.

Cahill replaces Terry, Falcao replaces Hazard!
Mourinho's substitution was very decisive. He replaced Terry for protection. As for replacing Hazard, Chelsea will have a very crucial game in 3 days. Before the game, Mourinho must ensure that Hazard can get enough rest.

The most important thing is that Mourinho found that once Hazard scored a goal, his performance in the next game would decline sharply.

In this case, it would be better to replace Hazard directly and put him in the starting lineup again when we play against Porto the day after tomorrow.

"Clap clap clap!"

The fans at Stamford Bridge applauded the two stars, Hazard and Terry, and thanked them for their contributions to the team.

Falcao, who had just come on the field, brought two small notes and gave one to Jiang Yuan and one to Fabregas. On Jiang Yuan's note was written: Go and support William more often.

Still a corner kick for Bournemouth, and Gosling is still responsible.

After a corner kick, Zouma jumped at the edge of the small penalty area and helped Courtois get the ball.

Fight back!

"Hey, here!"

Courtois bypassed Joshua and decisively threw the ball to Fabregas, who took the ball, turned around and passed it to William in front of him.

A familiar taste, Jiang Yuan on the right and Falcao on the left started at the same time.

"River!

William shouted and passed the ball directly in front of Jiang Yuan. The latter stepped on the ball with his left foot, stopped and dribbled, and directly passed Stanislas who was guarding him.

"Wow!"

"Jiang Yuan broke through the baseline on the right. Stanislas reached out to pull Jiang Yuan's clothes, but failed to hold Jiang Yuan and continued to walk to the baseline!"

"William ran to the back to prepare for support, Costa was already in the middle preparing to grab the ball. Let's see what Jiang Yuan will choose. He can pass back, or..."

"Break straight to the baseline! Jiang Yuan is very strong. Because Gosling just took the corner kick, he is not in the defensive midfielder position now. There is no one to help defend, so it is difficult for Daniels to keep an eye on Jiang Yuan."

"Go down... go into the penalty area!"

"Hit with your right foot!"

“GOOOOO——AAAAAAAAAA————LLLLLLLL!!!”

"Number 7 Jiang!"

"Jiang Yuan finally stood up and scored from the right side. His shooting skills are incredible!"

Seeing Jiang Yuan walking into the penalty area, William's first reaction was to go to the right baseline to receive Jiang Yuan's return pass. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan directly shot the ball into the penalty area.

So William decisively changed his running direction and ran to the right corner flagpole before Jiang Yuan, waiting for him there.

Nothing unexpected happened. Jiang Yuan's first reaction after scoring the goal was to rush to the right corner flagpole.

Zuma and Ivanovic rushed over and were ready to ride on Jiang Yuan, but William stopped them and shouted, "Hold on, hold on (wait)"

Under Zuma's puzzled gaze, William stood with his feet apart.

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Yuan laughed. If William wanted to watch Tai Chi, then let him watch it.

A big watermelon, half on the left, half on the right, and cut in the middle.

The Blues players on the field stared at Jiang Yuan's movements intently, imitating them bit by bit.

"Wow!"

The morning exercise team at Stamford Bridge is back again!
[Awesome, a violent shot that directly destroyed Bournemouth! ]

【Go, go, go! ! ! ! 】

[Two words, awesome! ]

[Don’t mention it. Just now, Stanislas reached out to pull Jiang Yuan but couldn’t. Is the impact so strong? It’s outrageous.]

[Jiang Yuan has already started, but Stanislas has just turned around. This is very restraining, unless Stanislas pulls Jiang Yuan's clothes and won't let go. If he does this, he will definitely get a card.]

[Fuck, I also want to practice Tai Chi live, but traveling abroad is too expensive... I really want to go to Stamford Bridge]

【Watch it on TV, come on Chelsea! 】

[Good shot, beat Bournemouth, a newly promoted team wants to challenge us, the defending champions]

【Jiang Yuan: Still need to practice! 】

[Kane's hat trick in the last round really scared me, luckily Jiang Yuan scored another one today, and it was the Golden Boot, hahaha! ]

[It would be outrageous if Jiang Yuan really won the Golden Boot]

[No need for ifs. Xiao Jiang is already outrageous now. 15 goals in 14 rounds. Which new player looks like this? If you cover the name on the back of the jersey and say it's Cristiano Ronaldo transferring to Chelsea, I will believe it.]

[To be honest, Xiao Jiang’s style is quite similar to Ronaldo’s, but there are some big differences, hahaha! ]

……

After conceding two goals, Bournemouth coach Eddie Howe started to get a little anxious.

Among the BIG6 this season, Chelsea and Manchester United are the two biggest soft persimmons. Bournemouth had drawn with Manchester United before, and originally thought that beating Chelsea would be as easy as beating Manchester United.

But now it seems that is not the case.

The gap between 5th and 6th in the standings is still a bit big.

The first half was over and Chelsea entered the locker room with a score of 2:0. Mourinho looked relaxed and emphasized Chelsea's backcourt in the locker room.

Especially Cahill and Zouma.

Don't send any!

Don't send any!

Hazard patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Come on, can you score another goal in the second half?"

Jiang Yuan gave a thumbs up: "Let's not talk about whether we can score a goal or not, but we will definitely beat Bournemouth!"

"Good good!"

"I won't say anything else. I'll just watch your performance from the bench."

……

The second half of the game begins!
After the halftime break, Jiang Yuan accelerated the tempo of attack, because Mourinho had said at halftime that Jiang Yuan would be substituted around 65-70 minutes to prepare for the subsequent Champions League match against Porto.

Taking this situation into consideration, Jiang Yuan will increase his running a little in the next 20 minutes or so to see if he can give the team another chance.

"So cheer us on through the sun and rain~"

"B'cause Chelsea, Chelsea is our name!"

"..."

There was a loud chorus of fans at Stamford Bridge. It happened to be drizzling in London today, and the cold wind could not blow away the enthusiasm of the fans.

In the 53rd minute, due to Falcao's foul, Bournemouth regained the ball in their own backcourt. For this hard-earned free kick opportunity, the Cherry team chose to let the players kick the ball from the backcourt, and others ran to the front to compete for the header.

Since we can’t play the ball well, we might as well be more direct. The key is to score a goal, not how you score it.

"Go forward! Go forward!"

Smith waved his big hand, signaling all the players except him, Cook and Francis to go to Chelsea's half.

In just a few seconds, 18 players gathered in Chelsea's half. Judging from the positioning of Bournemouth's frontcourt players, Smith's long pass would undoubtedly be given to Chelsea's right.

All teammates are in place!
With a "bang", Smith kicked the ball out with a long kick. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and the players of both teams began to guess where it would land.

"Go to hell!"

Jiang Yuan pushed Gosling away and wanted to jump first to compete for the header, but Art got there first.

After completing the header, Art handled the ball in a very simple way, turning around and throwing a high ball into the penalty area, Joshua jumped lightly and headed the ball into the goal!

"what!"

Courtois jumped out to save the ball, but was a step too late and Joshua headed it in.

"Pooh!"

Seeing Joshua score a goal, Jiang Yuan spat on the grass.

Damn, can anyone even get in?
Mourinho held his head in his hands outside the field. He was so angry that he couldn't speak.

So far, Chelsea has had 12 shots, but Bournemouth has only had 3 shots, and the only one of the 3 shots on target actually went in!

Since the 21st century, passing and controlling football has become popular in European football, but the reckless style of play has not completely disappeared from football, and there are even many teams that are still keen on this style of play.

There is no skill involved, just try to get the ball into the opponent's penalty area. This style of play is common when weak teams play against strong teams, and it always has unexpected results.

No matter how good your kung fu is.

Also afraid of kitchen knives!

"Pa, pa, pa. It's okay, it's okay!"

Captain Azpilicueta began to encourage his teammates: "We are still leading, there is nothing to be afraid of"

"Look at me, look into my eyes. Jiang, I'm talking about you, raise your head. Let's work hard together!"

……

The game goes on!

Because of Joshua's goal, Mourinho, who had been relaxed, now became nervous.

When the trailing team scores a goal, the players' fighting spirit will be mobilized. In other words, Bournemouth in the second half is no longer the same team as Bournemouth in the first half!

"Be careful, stand back, stand back!"

Mourinho realized something was wrong and began to let his players retreat to the backcourt. He just wanted to maintain the team's current three points.

After losing 1:3 to Tottenham in the last round, Chelsea has dropped to fifth place in the standings.

I really can't lose again!
69th minute!

"for you!"

Azpilicueta made a precise ground pass to Falcao who was making a run forward on the left. The pass was so accurate that Falcao did not need to turn around, he just had to keep running forward to catch the ball.

"Falcao led the ball and broke through, and the wall cooperation with William was beautiful! Falcao got the ball in front and successfully got rid of Ritchie's close defense"

"Costa is running forward in the middle and he has reached the top of the arc"

"Azpilicueta is behind Falcao and he can provide Falcao with a chance to pass the ball"

"Here it comes! Falcao passes the ball back to Azpilicueta, who passes it to William. Very good, William turns with the ball, without any hesitation, and sends the ball directly to the left."

"In just a short time, Falcao has completed his mission on the left wing!"

!!!

Looking at Falcao's position on the left, Jiang Yuan sensed a different opportunity.

"Stand in my place!"

Jiang Yuan greeted Zuma and asked Zuma to run to the right baseline, while he ran to the top of the arc.

Falcao dribbled the ball to the bottom line, and when he saw the ball was about to go out of bounds, Falcao suddenly stopped, then passed the ball to Azpilicueta behind him, who made a 45-degree cross to the middle.

Standing at the top of the arc was neither William nor Costa.

But it’s Jiang Yuan!

Seeing the ball flying towards him, Jiang Yuan quickly ran forward a few steps and extended his right foot before the ball hit the ground.

With a "bang", the shot went into the goal!

"Roar--!!!"

This was followed by Jiang Yuan’s excited roar.

"GOOOOOO-AAAAAAAAAAAA-LLLLLLLLLL"

"HOLY SHIT!!!"

"What a goal!"

"What a brilliant goal!"

Before entering the net, the ball didn't even touch the ground. Jiang Yuan used his right foot to change the flight trajectory of the ball and headed straight for the goal and into the net.

Boruc's performance was already very good, but unfortunately, Jiang Yuan's shot was beyond his ability!

"oh my god!"

“Good job!”

Mourinho's joy was palpable.

Jiang Yuan always stands up in time.

That Chinese kid.

A cheap winger for 1300 million euros.

"Jiang! Bang! Our Jiang! Bang!"

"Nanbo Seven, Jiang! Bang! Bang!"

"Snap, snap, snap, snap!"

The fans on the field were cheering from the bottom of their hearts.

At the end of July this year, when Chelsea officially announced that it would buy an Asian winger from Porto, all Premier League fans had the same idea.

Asians, 1300 million euros?

But just over a month later, Premier League fans' minds changed.

Oh my god, 1300 million euros!

Until now, fans' thoughts on Jiang Yuan have changed again.

This guy... 1300 million euros?

……

In the 72nd minute of the game, Mourinho replaced Jiang Yuan with Baba, and then used the classic 4411 formation, leaving only Costa and William in the front, and everyone else went to the backcourt.

It's a bit vulgar, but this tactic is the most energy-saving.

Compared to Bournemouth, Mourinho is more interested in the game against Porto in a few days.

"Hurry up, hurry up and attack!"

"Don't just stand there, Harry, hurry up and press!"

Bournemouth coach Eddie Howe kept urging his players to increase the intensity of their attack. It can be seen that he really wanted to get a point from Chelsea.

But it is impossible for Chelsea to let Eddie Howe get what he wants.

“Beep, beep—!”

Referee Jones blew the whistle three times and the game ended.

"Let us congratulate Chelsea! After losing to Tottenham in the last round, Chelsea's players immediately adjusted their form and defeated Bournemouth with a score of 3:1"

"We can see that Chelsea players are taking their leave of absence and thanking the fans for their support"

"To be honest, although Chelsea had a 6:4 ball possession rate, this game was still difficult. Eddie Howe's long pass tactics created danger to the Blues' goal many times. Mourinho will also make some adjustments to the team's basic tactics based on these situations when he returns home today."

"Today's game is over. Next is the live broadcast preview..."

"At 12:10 am on December 3, Chelsea will play against Porto at home. This is the last round of the Champions League Group G, and both teams have 45 points. Therefore, this game will directly determine the first and second place in Group G..."
