Chapter 221: The answer is not the question
"At the start of the second half, Chelsea made a substitution, with No. 12 Mikel replacing No. 4 Fabregas"

"Watford made no substitutions!"

Although there were no substitutions at the start of the game, Flores finally realized something was wrong in the 55th minute of the second half.

From being beaten at the beginning to now.

Chelsea didn’t play like this in the previous games, right?

Despite this, as the head coach of the team that was promoted to the Super League last season, Flores is very proud.

Being 2 goals behind is not too big. What Watford is good at is catching up the score when falling behind!

"Odion, Deeney, move more actively!"

"That's right, go ahead and press, go ahead and press!"

Flores' idea was simple. Since there was no chance of getting any points if he was behind, he might as well give it a try and see if he could catch up.

In the past 18 rounds of this season, Watford has had as many as 10 games where they tied or overtook the team after falling behind!

In the 59th minute, Watson dribbled the ball through Chelsea's half, but was blocked by Mikel, who had just come on the field.

It can only be said that Flores is still too young. In this situation, letting the front players press forward is not the right choice at all.

What's more, Watford's 442 formation does not emphasize central attack.

"Right, right!"

Seeing Mikel get the ball, Matic on the side immediately gave instructions to help Mikel find the most suitable passing route.

Matic didn't hesitate and kicked the ball directly to the right with his left foot.

Jiang Yuan gets the ball!

"William, come to the right!"

Mourinho was giving orders frantically outside the court. After hearing it, William ran to the right without looking back and ran all the way to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan passed the ball to William and then ran towards the middle.

Because Jiang Yuan's pass was a straight pass, William did not need to turn around to catch the ball. This also resulted in Jurado, who was returning to defense, having no chance to defend William alone. He could only watch the Brazilian boy pass the ball.

"Snapped"

There was a crisp sound of hitting the ball, and the ball drew an arc in the air.

In the middle, Costa forced himself to get rid of Cathcart and walked back, headed in William's cross and completed the pass to the back.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yuan, who was running from the right, rushed over and kicked the ball in the middle with his left foot.

"GGGGGG-OOOO-AAAAAA-LLLLL!!!"

"Holy shit!"

"What's this!?"

McLaughlin's familiar voice rang out at Stamford Bridge.

I never expected that the ball would be scored like this.

He chose to shoot with great force without even reaching the top of the arc. It is hard to imagine that this is the power that a 17-year-old young player can unleash.

"woww!"

Jiang Yuan followed the direction of his body, took a run-up and then slid to his knees on the left.

Stand up and then throw an uppercut.

"Wow, Jiang, good job!"

"Watford, rubbish!"

"..."

Haha!

Jiang Yuan walked closer to the stands and high-fived the fans at the bottom of the stands one by one.

Having learned from the previous lesson in Porto, Jiang Yuan did not cross the railing into the stands.

He almost couldn't get out when he was dragged in by Porto fans. Today, facing the British fans, Jiang Yuan naturally had to be more restrained.

It’s true that British fans are passionate, but if they really get passionate, the stadium security can’t stop them!

"The game started again. In the 61st minute, the team's right winger Jiang Yuan scored twice to help Chelsea further expand the score."

"Dini kicked the ball back to Britos, Britos passed it to Jurado on the left, Jiang Yuan rushed over to prepare for defense"

"Direct tackle!"

"Hey! The game just started and Watford lost the ball again, thanks to a decisive tackle from Jiang Yuan!"

"Jiang Yuan stood up quickly, adjusted his center of gravity and passed the ball to Costa."

"Costa passes to Willian, Willian passes to Hazard!"

From tackles to transfers, Chelsea's defense and offense were connected very smoothly, and there was no flaw in the whole process.

In these few seconds, Chelsea returned to its peak last season, but now the right wing is no longer William, but Jiang Yuan, who is more aggressive than William.

"There!"

Hazard pointed to the Watford penalty area, signaling his teammates to move, and then began his dribbling performance on the left.

He dribbled the ball alternately with his left and right feet, lowered and raised his right shoulder, and when the time was right, he suddenly accelerated and successfully completed the blast on Abdi.

"Wuhu!"

Accompanied by the cheers of the fans at the scene, Hazard dribbled the ball forward at high speed, approaching the Watford goal step by step.

When reaching the parallel line of the penalty area, Hazard suddenly cut inside. Seeing this, Costa immediately ran into the small penalty area, used his body to attract Britos, and successfully gave Hazard a one-on-two opportunity in the penalty area.

"Clap!"

Hazard knocked the ball alternately with his left and right feet, shook off Cathcart in front of him, and decisively shot into the blind corner of the Watford goal defended by Gomez.

"ta!"

The ball hit the far post, bounced and rolled into the net.

"hiss--"

The Chelsea bench fell silent.

Less than 5 minutes after the last goal, Hazard scored a goal on his own from the left.

The fans at the scene turned their eyes to the big screen hanging above the stadium.

65′57″.

CHELSEA4:0WATFORD
This is Chelsea's smoothest game this season, no doubt about it!

There was no other way, Flores finally started to make substitutions, and he replaced two players in a short period of time.

Behrami replaces Abdi, Aniya replaces Jurado!

At Stamford Bridge, 3000 away fans gathered in a small stand, with Chelsea fans wearing blue fan uniforms standing on both sides.

"Chelsea! Pah!"

"Chelsea! Pah!"

"..."

The fans clap their hands twice in a row and then open their arms. This is the most classic way of cheering and will never go out of style.

The fourth goal did not take up too much time to celebrate, as Hazard signaled the fans to calm down. There were still more than 4 minutes left in the game, and Jiang Yuan already had 20 goals.

Does Azardo need to tell us what to do at this time?
The game continues!

After the score of 4:0, Watford, which had already lost its momentum, is now in a daze.

The team coach Flores folded his hands across his chest. He was under a lot of pressure when the score was 0:3, but now it's 0:4, there is no pressure at all.

Fuck it, you've already lost!

"Are you okay?"

William gave Jiang Yuan a look and asked about his physical condition.

Jiang Yuan gave a thumbs up and said, "Just pass the ball, and leave the rest to me."

"The wall cooperation between N'Yom and Behrami was very smooth. After N'Yom got the ball, he decisively broke through to the bottom line. Azpilicueta was waiting for him at the bottom line!"

"He wanted to go down the wing, but Azpilicueta was very close to him. N'Yom couldn't find a chance to get in, so he passed the ball to the middle, trying to give it to Capoue."

"Cape got the ball, Mikel and Ivanovic came forward at the same time, one of them blocked Cape who had the ball. Mikel kicked the ball to Jiang Yuan!"

"It seems that Watford's attack was a bit too hasty due to the scoreline, which undoubtedly gave Chelsea a chance!"

"Jiang Yuan dribbled the ball forward and Chelsea began to counterattack!"

When Jiang Yuan got the ball, the distance between him and the opposing defensive player was still some distance, so the director gave the camera directly to Mourinho.

The Blues' Portuguese coach is rarely on the sidelines this season. He is now sitting on the bench, chatting and laughing with Brown.

He didn't take his opponent seriously at all!
Jiang Yuan strode forward and soon approached Anya. Because Anya was a player who had just come on the field and must have plenty of physical strength, Jiang Yuan did not choose to force his way past her.

"Give it to me!"

At this time, Ivanovic stretched out his hand behind him, Jiang Yuan pulled with his right foot and passed the ball back decisively.

The familiar wing wall collision, Jiang Yuan and Ivanovic cooperated to penetrate the defense line formed by Anya and Capoue.

In the 82nd minute of the game, Jiang Yuan took the ball and prepared to go down the bottom line!
"come on! Come on!"

"Charge, run faster!"

The fans in the home team's stands were very excited and kept cheering Jiang Yuan on.

The 17-year-old golden boy's performance today was very eye-catching, but fans want to see more than that.

"Whoosh whoosh"

Jiang Yuan was breathing heavily, and Holevas was running towards him, so Jiang Yuan dodged Holevas and ran towards the middle.

Insert diagonally from the right to the middle and swing out with the right leg.

Use the outside of your foot to make a far corner!
"Snapped!"

The ball passed over Cascart's head with a very exaggerated arc and a slight drop, heading straight for the far corner of the goal.

!!!

Gomez pushed off the ground with his left foot and jumped up, ready to save the shot.

But unfortunately, Jiang Yuan's shot was almost a perfect blind spot. Even though Gomez stretched his body, he still couldn't touch the ball.

“GOOOOO—AAAAAAAAAA—LLLLLLLLLL!!!!”

"hat-trick!"

"Oh my God, absolute hat-trick!" Jiang Yuan cut in from the right and shot the ball into the far corner with the outside of his foot. After scoring the goal, he didn't even need to look at the linesman.

There was no pass at all, so no need to worry about offside!
"hat trick!"

"In the 83rd minute, Jiang Yuan scored with the outside of his foot, a hat trick!"

"Oh my god, this is unbelievable, what kind of monster is this?"

The commentator of CCTV5 thought for a long time and now only the word "monster" can describe Jiang Yuan's current performance.

A real goal scoring machine!
"Shh-!"

Jiang Yuan slowly walked to the sidelines. He originally wanted to do a beautiful slide, but he was a little tired after playing the game for so long.

So, Jiang Yuan faced the fans at the Watford goal stand and spread his hands: "Why always me?"

why always me?
……

As Jiang Yuan scored the goal to complete his hat trick, the game slowly came to an end.

In the 84th minute, Mourinho replaced Jiang Yuan, who had just completed a hat-trick, with Kennedy.

On the left side, Remy replaced Hazard.

It's already 5:0, and it's almost time for the main players to go back to the locker room to rest.

"Well done!"

Mourinho hugged Jiang Yuan as he walked off the field and put the team's blue jacket on him.

The winter in London is a bit chilly, so you still need to keep warm!

The game was still going on, and at this time, major fan forums at home and abroad had exploded.

In China, there was still the classic rave about him, with fans competing with each other to know more about him. In foreign countries, fans from all over the world were discussing him under the terms #Jiang#Goldenboy on Twitter and Instagram, despite the time difference.

[Oh my god, is this really 17 years old? Isn't China a football desert? Why would there be such a person? ]

[I have said many times that Chinese Kung Fu is very powerful. Now you finally believe it. In fact, Jiang has restrained himself. I have seen people flying in the sky. If Jiang used that kind of Kung Fu to play football, Chelsea might not lose a single game this season.]

[Oh my god, Kung Fu should be against the rules, can we please not use Kung Fu in football games? Otherwise, only Chinese people can play football]

[Oh, this is so bitter. You know, I saw Jiang at the airport when he came to Turin last week. I was so stupid that I didn’t realize that Jiang was here to receive the award.]

[This Chinese kid won the Golden Boy Award at the age of 17. This is even better than Leo. I can't imagine where his ceiling is]

[I know that Jiang’s role models in Porto were Henry and Modri, but I don’t think that’s right. The technical changes have been too many.]

[You idiots, I noticed this Chinese kid when I was in Porto. At that time, he was famous for his speed. Jiang has become healthier since he came to Chelsea. The canteen at Cobham is great. (Smiley face)]

[The worst thing is that he makes me envious]

[Martial is so pitiful. He was about to have no rivals, but then Jiang suddenly appeared and got 455 votes. I didn’t get that many points in all my grammar classes combined for the whole school year.]

“Beep, beep—!”

Marina blew the whistle to end the game, and Chelsea, based at Stamford Bridge, finally swept Watford with a score of 5:0.

According to post-match statistics, Chelsea had a possession rate of 72% throughout the game, with 25 shots and 11 on target.

另外还有各位置的评分，完成帽子戏法的江远获得了无可置疑的10.0，紧随其后的是阿扎尔9.2、科斯塔9.2、马蒂奇8.5、威廉8.4。

The player with the lowest score is Courtois. Although I say it is the lowest, he actually has a score of 6.5 points.

The reason why he scored the lowest is very simple. Courtois made basically no saves in 90 minutes, and the Belgian is not very good at passing the ball.

Without the points from the saves, Courtois had no other way to score.

"So cheer us on through the sun and rain"

"'cause Chelsea, Chelsea is our name"

"Clap clap clap clap..."

Amid the singing of the fans, the 18 Blues players left the field together.

"Haha, Jiang, this feels so good!"

Zouma showed his shell-like teeth. He did not play in today's game, but the Frenchman sitting on the bench really felt the atmosphere on the field.

Not only the fans in the stands, but the players on the field are equally worthy of praise.

Before Jiang Yuan could respond to Zouma's words, Mourinho came up from behind, stood on tiptoe, stretched out his arm, and put his hand on Zouma's shoulder: "It feels so good?"

"This is what a professional team should look like!"

……

"boom!"

Terry kicked open the locker room door. The solid wooden door of the home team's locker room at Stamford Bridge has to be replaced every two weeks.

The reason is simple, Terry and Zouma, the two central defenders, really like to kick the ball towards the goal. In fact, Terry was the only one who kicked the ball towards the goal, but Zouma gradually learned it.

According to Zouma, the feeling of kicking the door was really great, but how great it was, only Zouma and Terry knew.

"we are the champion!"

"Wuhu!"

Terry stood on the therapy bed, while Oscar ran to the side and pulled out the speakers from the locker room.

"Ahem, ladies and gentlemen, the next song "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" is dedicated to our Mr. Hat Trick today."

"Mr. Jiang!"

Oscar really has a show. Holding the microphone in one hand, he spoke to Jiang Yuan with deep emotion.

Although "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" is a hip-hop song overall, it has a majestic feeling under Oscar's voice.

This song is so popular in Europe and the United States now!
Mourinho stood against the wall, waiting for Oscar to finish his performance and for the players to almost finish celebrating. He finally began today's post-match summary: "Guys, you are all great. This is the second time this season that I see hope in you. The first time was when I saw Jiang score his first Premier League goal, which was several months ago..."

"En, let's not talk about this. Jiang, there's a press conference waiting for you outside. Go quickly, those reporters will complain if they get impatient!"

Press conference?

Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows, put on the jersey he had just taken off, and then followed the guidance of the stadium staff to the place Mourinho mentioned.

The spokesperson's long table had been set up. As soon as Jiang Yuan showed his head on it, the whole room was filled with the continuous sound of camera shutters.

It’s been less than a week since the Golden Boy Awards ceremony, and Jiang Yuan’s popularity has not subsided yet.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Yuan nodded in greeting, then sat up in the middle seat. At the same time, the reporters in the audience began to make a lot of noise, eager to get a chance to interview Jiang Yuan.

"That gentleman!"

Jiang Yuan made a "please" gesture, and a bearded uncle in the front row stood up: "Crent, The Independent"

"Mr. Klnter, are you German?"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang, I would like to ask, at the previous Golden Boy Awards ceremony, you said that this is just the starting point. I would like to ask what this means specifically."

Professional newspapers like The Independent will prepare questions before the press conference so that they can perform well when they are chosen.

The questions asked by reporters are, of course, the issues that fans are most concerned about.

"Oh, this..."

Jiang Yuan did not expect that a casual remark of his would attract so much attention: "The starting point represents the beginning. I hope the Golden Boy Award can encourage me and encourage me to continue to improve. Well, that's it."

“Great idea!”

Krent expressed his respect to Jiang Yuan, and then continued to ask: "The whole Chelsea team seems to be in good shape in today's game. Can you tell us what happened?"

“That’s what professional football is like”

Jiang Yuan curled his lips and said, "It's normal for the players to have changes in their state. We did play well today, probably because the sun was so strong in London today. If you're in a good mood, your performance on the court will naturally be good."

Krent didn't get the information he wanted, but he didn't lose heart: "Jiang, I want to ask something that all Premier League fans are very concerned about. Can you give me an answer?"

"Just tell me what your question is first. I'm quite generous. Even if you ask me what color my underwear is today, I'll answer you!"

Jiang Yuan joked, which made Krent feel relieved.

Although Jiang Yuan was very tight-lipped during the interview, he did not have the aggressive authority of Mourinho, and it was quite comfortable to talk to him.

So, Krent took a step forward and bent his upper body slightly: "Jiang, will you return to China to participate in the U1 Asian Cup in January?"

good question!
All the reporters at the press conference fell silent, and the sound of camera shutters could not be stopped.

There were rumors before that the Chinese Olympic team had contacted Jiang Yuan, but the Chinese Football Association has been slow to release the list for the U23 Asian Cup. Not only are domestic fans waiting anxiously, but Premier League fans are also waiting anxiously.

Several of Chelsea's opponents in January are already ready to make a move!

"Forehead……"

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and looked around at the cameras at the far end.

"I don't know yet, maybe in a couple of days, I'll give you an answer."

Click, click, click!

Click, click, click!
