Chapter 220 Whether the sun is shining or the rain is pouring
In the days when Jiang Yuan received the award, Chelsea defeated Sunderland 1-0 at home, and Hazard, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal in the 72nd minute.

This victory did not help Chelsea improve their league ranking, but it allowed them to surpass the original leader Manchester City, which can be considered a considerable success.

With the double happiness coming, the Blues players were ready to celebrate in the bar, but before they even stepped into the bar, Mourinho called.

"Terry, I need you to take all the players back to the base now. Remember, everyone!"

As a result, at 9:28 p.m. the night after defeating Sunderland, members of Chelsea's first-team team arrived at Cobham in the rain. Mourinho and Brown had been waiting on the field for a long time.

"Put away the umbrella"

Mourinho put his hands in his pockets and signaled the players holding umbrellas to throw them to the ground.

Hazard stretched his hand outside the umbrella and felt the rain at night: "Jose, it's raining heavily..."

"Put away the umbrella"

"..."

Under pressure from Mourinho, Hazard and others had no choice but to resign.

London in December is not only rainy but also very cold!
"hiss……"

Mourinho took a deep breath, looked at everyone for a while, and then slowly said: "Actually, I shouldn't care so much, but I want to tell you that now is not the time to celebrate"

"Guys, you beat Sunderland, a newly promoted team, not Bayern or Real Madrid, and you only beat Sunderland by one goal. I really don't know what you were thinking."

Chelsea's lighting facilities are very advanced. Although there was no sun or moon, the training ground at Cobham was brightly lit, and the cold white light made the raindrops in the sky clearly visible.

The players were silent and showed up at the base at this time, which was the first time for everyone.

Under Mourinho's aura, none of the players dared to speak.

"We saw it in the previous match against Leicester City. Their players are not as good as ours, and their fan base is not as good as ours, but why are they at the top of the table now? Why have they lost more points than Arsenal and Manchester City?"

"tell me why!?"

Zouma raised his hand and Mourinho gestured for Zouma to express his opinion.

"I think it's because they are in good form, Vardy and Mahrez, these two guys are in very good form this season"

As a defender, he has the most realistic feelings about the forward, and Zouma also reacted after the last encounter.

Vardy is more threatening this season than last season!
"So you still haven't reacted..."

Mourinho sighed: "Let me tell you, because of the goal!"

Mourinho raised his index finger: "The goal is the same! From fans to players, and from players to coaches, the goal of the entire Leicester City team is the same, they want to win the game"

"And us, look at us!"

"Some people are playing games, some are thinking about which bar to go to tonight, and whether to sleep with a Latina woman or a Nordic woman."

"and this!"

Mourinho walked up and grabbed the scarf around Oscar's neck with his hand: "And this Louis Vuitton, what's the purpose of you wearing this thing to the training ground?"

Oscar's face turned red. After Mourinho walked away from him, he silently took off the scarf around his neck and threw it on the grass.

Never expected that wearing Louis Vuitton would make him the target of Mourinho's criticism. Terry, standing behind Oscar, silently took off his ROLEX.

Jiang Yuan didn't feel any pressure. The most expensive item on his body was the Trefoil sneakers on his feet. This was a new product launched by Adidas this year, with an initial price of 58 pounds.

"Guys, look around you, look at your teammates next to you"

"We all trained together on weekdays, but because you were not focused on the game, your teammates lost the game. All the training during normal times wasted. Do you think this is fair to your teammates?"

Mourinho seems to have a specific point, but he is definitely not referring to just one person. Not all of them, most of the players in the Blues have some problems this season.

Losing the desire for the championship is a problem that every championship team will encounter.

"So, I'm asking you here. For your teammates, for the fans who support you."

"Please work harder and unite a little more. If you feel that you have worked hard enough and united enough, then I ask you to work harder and unite a little more."

"Look at the Rolls-Royces, AMGs, and Ferraris parked outside the base. Please make sure your performance is worthy of your salary!"

"Okay, the rain is a bit heavy, let's go back quickly and don't get a fever."

After Mourinho finished speaking, he and Brown disappeared from the players' sight.

The 28 first-team players stood on the training ground, the rain beating against their bodies, everyone's eyes turned to Terry, waiting for the Blues captain to speak.

So, under the gaze of everyone, Terry stood up and stood in the position where Mourinho had just stood. Jiang Yuan and Hazard: "I think there is nothing wrong with what Jose said. We have the European Golden Boy, the FA's best player, and top players in all positions with a starting value of tens of millions. Why are we only fourth in the league? Can we only be fourth in the league? Damn it, we should show Chelsea's momentum!"

"Leicester City? They don't have Europe's golden boy!"

"Manchester City? They don't have the Player of the Season!"

"As for Arsenal? I'm sorry, they have nothing"

"And we Chelsea, we have everything, the glory should belong to us!"

Terry's speech was so powerful that no one in the audience spoke except him.

"I have no opinion"

Costa walked over and put his arm around Jiang Yuan's shoulders, and the trio became a foursome.

Costa, who just missed a penalty yesterday, is undoubtedly the one who feels the most guilty at this moment.

"There's nothing to say, let's go together!"

Hazard pulled Courtois past and the four-man team became a five-man team.

Then, Courtois reached out to pull Oscar. In less than half a minute, 28 people hugged each other's shoulders and formed a big circle.

“Blue is the colour, football is the game”

“Were all together, and winning is our aim”

“So cheer us on through the sun and rain”

"Because Chelsea, Chelsea is our name!"

"Chelsea! Chelsea! Chelsea!"

"Unite!"

……

At 1 pm London time, two hours before the 18th round Premier League match between Chelsea and Watford, Chelsea's bus slowly drove into Stamford Bridge.

The Blues fans rushed towards the Chelsea bus like zombies.

In the car, Jiang Yuan looked at these crazy fans and couldn't help but sigh: "Shhh - it feels like a dream. So many fans, it's great!"

Zuma, who was sitting in front of Jiang Yuan, knelt on the chair with his hands on the backrest: "Be more confident, you are our golden boy!"

At 2:15, players from both teams prepared to enter the field for warm-up, but before warming up, Chelsea still had one thing to do.

At 18 minutes, the watering of the court was completed, and 18 sprinkler heads retracted under the grass at the same time, and then McLaughlin's voice was heard in the court.

"Players from both teams are ready to enter the field for warm-up. Before that, let us welcome the winner of the 2015 European Golden Boy Award"

"Number 7, Jiang Yuan!"

"Woww!!!!"

Stamford Bridge started to riot, and Jiang Yuan in the player tunnel was shocked by the scene.

Chelsea’s celebration of the Golden Boy Award was really high-end!

"What are you standing there for? I'm calling you!"

Mourinho put his hands on Jiang Yuan's back and pushed him out with both hands.

The director's camera focused on Jiang Yuan, and McLaughlin began his speech: "15 goals in the league, 13 goals in the Champions League, the absolute best"

"Please welcome our number seven from Chelsea"

"Europe's golden boy belongs to our Chelsea!"

"Jiang! Bang Bang Bang!"

"Jiang! Bang Bang Bang!"

"J!"

"I!"

"Ah!"

"N!"

"G!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Jiang Yuan walked to the center of the field amid the cheers of the fans. He understood the moment Mourinho pushed him out of the player tunnel.

There is no reason for Chelsea to lose this game!

……

"Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai!"

"Here is the live broadcast of the 18th round of the Premier League, Chelsea vs Watford"

"This match was not a focus match, but it still attracted the attention of many fans. Because half a week ago, the Turin Sports Daily officially announced the winners of the 2015 European Golden Boy Award. The 17-year-old young player Jiang Yuan from my country won the award, becoming the first player in Chinese history to win the European Golden Boy Award. At the same time, he also broke the record for the youngest age of the Golden Boy Award set by Leo Messi."

"And Chelsea's opponent Watford is only the runner-up of the English Championship last season and is also the newly promoted team of the Premier League this season. The starting lineups of the two teams are worth five times more than each other!" "The referee is already looking at his watch!"

"The game begins! Let me introduce the starting lineups of both teams. First up is the home team Chelsea. Jiang Yuan, who missed the last round due to receiving an award, is back in the starting lineup, still at the right winger position!"

"..."

“Then there’s Watford, the away team, in white, attacking from the left side of the screen to the right!”

Watford (4-4-2)

Goalkeeper: Gomez
Defenders: Holevas, Britos, Cathcart, Nyom
Midfielders: Jurado, Capoue, Watson, Abdi
Forwards: Deeney, Ighalo
Head coach: Flores
Watford is a very distinctive team. They wander back and forth between the Premier League and the Championship. Because of this characteristic, Watford's coach and fans are known for their big hearts.

Chelsea is great every game and terrible every night, while Watford is great every season and terrible every season.

The 17th minute of the game.

Zouma used physical confrontation to snatch the ball from Ighalo at the front of the penalty area. After completing the steal, Zouma decisively passed the ball to Jiang Yuan who came back to respond. Jiang Yuan made a cross kick with his left foot and passed the ball to Hazard on the left.

Hazard lifted his thigh to take the ball off the dribble and then started dribbling.

"Hazard got the ball on the left, very quickly, and faced Watson one-on-one, and he got past Watson with two touches, which was very beautiful!"

"Hazard is looking towards the middle, with Costa and Willian as two options, but Costa is being defended very tightly, so the chances of passing the ball to Costa are slim."

"Go down to the bottom line yourself! Hazard changes the tempo quickly, N'Yom can't react, the ball is about to go out of the baseline, just pass it horizontally!"

"Britos tackled back, but failed to block the ball. The ball came to Jiang Yuan's feet and he kicked it directly!"

"Wow! Jiang Yuan's shot was blocked by Gomez's save... Wait, Costa! Gomez failed to hold the ball and it rolled to Costa's feet."

"Instep push shot!"

“GGGGGG—OOOOOOOOO—AAAAAAAAAAAA—LLLLLLLLLL!!!”

"Diego costaaaaaa!"

"In the 18th minute of the game, Chelsea striker Costa opened the scoring, Chelsea beat Watford 1:0 at home!"

“I don’t know if it’s because Watford is weak, but Chelsea have been in very good form so far, with Hazard and Terry’s recovery being the most obvious!”

Huang Jianxiang gave his evaluation of Chelsea's players on the field.

"Good!"

Costa gave Jiang Yuan a thumbs up, then calmly walked back to the center circle. His expression seemed to indicate the word "low-key".

"Hold on, that's the state!"

Mourinho shouted loudly, seemingly cheering on the players, but actually comforting himself.

As a bungee jumping team, Watford is best at overtaking after falling behind!
"Snapped!"

Costa hit the ball with the instep and passed it back to Jiang Yuan. After holding the ball, Jiang Yuan faced Jurado one-on-one on the sideline.

Facing Jurado's defense, Jiang Yuan knocked the ball forward.

As a Premier League player, it was natural for him to think that Jiang Yuan was about to explode when he saw him dribbling the ball, so Jurado stepped out with his left leg, ready to intercept Jiang Yuan's forward run.

However, Jurado fell into the trap set by Jiang Yuan. When he stepped out with his left leg, the gap between Jurado's feet was big enough.

So, Jiang Yuan caught the pass from his left foot with his right foot. The moment he caught the ball, his right ankle kept turning, and the ball rolled out from under Jurado's crotch.

"Through the crotch! Jiang Yuan dribbled through the crotch on the right! Very beautiful!"

"Play a wall pass with William, get rid of Capoue and continue to move into Watford's penalty area"

"Holaivas came up to defend Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan approached step by step, and moved horizontally from the right to the middle."

"Just shoot!"

"Wow! The outside of the right foot is very powerful, but the angle of the shot is not well controlled. Gomez jumped out and pushed the ball out to the bottom line with his hand."

The sixth corner kick of the game and Chelsea's fourth.

Matic is in charge!

Referee Marina blew the whistle, Matic raised his hands and started to run.

Later point!

"Snapped!"

After the corner kick, Watford's penalty area was thrown into chaos.

At the back point, Jiang Yuan and Britos were in a stalemate. Jiang Yuan used a standard iron mountain push to push Britos away, then pushed off the ground with both feet at the same time and jumped up.

With perfect timing for jumping, Matic's pass flew right in front of Jiang Yuan.

Tighten your core, transfer the power of your abdomen to your head, and then...

Throw your head and attack the goal!

“GOOOOO—AAAAAAAAA—LLLLLL!!!”

The position where Jiang Yuan jumped and shot was very close to the goal. Gomez had no time to react at all. He watched the ball hit the ground and bounce into the net.

"Come!"

Seeing Jiang Yuan score a goal, Hazard at the far end ran over immediately and reached the right corner flagpole before Jiang Yuan.

Then, Hazard was seen spreading his legs and drawing circles in the air with his hands like soft noodles.

It can only be said that as a top athlete, Hazard has a really strong learning ability. After only following Jiang Yuan and doing it twice, he has already grasped the essence of Tai Chi.

"Wow~!"

Jiang Yuan followed closely behind and showed the real Tai Chi to the fans on the scene after Hazard finished his demonstration.

I learned standard Tai Chi from my high school physical education teacher in two classes a week!

"Golden boy!"

The domestic forums had exploded at this time. This was one of the few situations where Chelsea had a favorable situation this season.

Fans at home and abroad reached a climax at the same time!

[Brothers, what can I say, this is the U21 world number one]

[When I was young, I didn’t know Jiang Huang, but I thought Messi and Ronaldo were the kings of football. I can only say that it’s too early for some people to choose their idols. It’s better to be a fan of Jiang Yuan than a fan of Messi and Ronaldo. Go for it!!!]

[In the current domestic environment, only Jiang Yuan can give me hope for the national football team. Apart from anything else, Jiang Yuan is really amazing, the youngest European golden boy, my God! ]

[It's so funny. At the beginning of the season, some people compared Son Heung-min to Jiang Yuan. They are not on the same level. Take the length of penis for example. If Jiang Yuan's penis is 18cm, Son Heung-min's is only 3cm! ]

[Opening! Guess Xiao Jiang's market value after the next transfer window update. I guess 5000 million euros. Anyone interested?]

[Let’s guess 6000 million. After all, given his age, it’s normal for his net worth to be higher.]

[Based on the current premium level of players, Jiang Yuan must be worth at least 1 million Euros, right? ]

[Don’t judge people with a filter. Although I also think Xiao Jiang is worth 8000 million, it is impossible for Transfermarkt’s stock price to soar by million in just a few months. This is unrealistic.]

[How about this, if each of the 13 billion Chinese people contributes one dollar to raise Jiang Yuan's net worth to 1 million euros, what do you think? ]

[Is this even possible? I will personally offer 200 to help our compatriots increase their worth! ]

[Those who don’t know much about soccer are still commenting, while those who really know about soccer have already bought Jiang Yuan’s jersey on the Adidas official website. This is my first time buying an authentic jersey. Xiao Jiang, let’s take our unfulfilled dreams and go!]

……

"Chelsea! Pah!"

"Stanford! Snap!"

At the scene, the Blues fans were very excited, with cheers and applause, directly crushing Watford in terms of momentum.

Today, Chelsea told Watford in person at their home ground at Stamford Bridge.

There is an unbridgeable gap between the giants and ordinary teams!
"Beep"

Marina blew the whistle and the first half of the game ended. Chelsea walked into the player tunnel with a score of 2:0 amid the cheers of the fans.

"boom!"

Terry kicked open the door to the locker room: "Roar!"

"Wow~! Huh!"

"Ha ha!"

The players were very excited until Mourinho and Brown came in, and then they calmed down.

"guys……"

Mourinho put his hands in his pockets, his serious expression suddenly changed, and then a long-lost smile appeared.

“I don’t want to say you guys played well, but that’s the truth.”

"In the second half, we still have 45 minutes to play."

"..."

"Okay, now I ask you to walk out of the player tunnel, stand on the field, and crush our opponents with your absolute strength."

"Move, move! Everyone, move!"
