Chapter 254 Special Request from the Head Coach
During the competition, there will be a special topic on the Twitter homepage. For example, today, the fifth most searched topic on Twitter is: #CHEPSG
[Damn it, why can't Chelsea score a goal]

[It has been proven that Jose is already old and does not have the ability to coach a top Premier League team. Mr. Roman can consider changing the head coach]

[No, no, no, I like Jose very much. He was the one who brought Jiang to Chelsea. He is a very visionary coach. If it weren’t for him, Jiang would be in Arsenal now! ]

[Those who wanted Mourinho fired were all from Arsenal, right? If you want Jiang, just tell him directly, don’t disgust us like this]

[Stamford Bridge seemed to be under a spell. Saint-Germain must have hired a French witch to cast a spell, otherwise Chelsea's shot would not have been missed! ]

[I can see that this is not magic, this is... God's curse! Hazard, Ibrahimovic, and Jiang, God is jealous of Chelsea's forward lineup, so he wants to punish Chelsea! ]

[I am a professional gambler, believe me, Paris will win this game. In any case, the state of Paris this season is not comparable to Chelsea]

[Well, Zlatan can't play, which is a pity. I think the rules set by UEFA are a bunch of shit, specially made to disgust us]

[Chelsea must advance, play a few more games, even if they can't win the championship, they must keep the Golden Boot at Stamford Bridge and let those Spaniards see who is the best league in the world! ]

At the 41st minute of the game, a drizzle began to fall from the sky above the stadium. It was sunny in the afternoon, but it turned like this at night.

Fortunately, the rain was not heavy and this level of drizzle had no impact on the game at all.

"Mora went to the middle and made a straight pass to Cavani, who shot directly!"

"Well done, Courtois saved the ball, but there was no Chelsea player to help clear it, so Di Maria caught up with him and got the ball."

"Di Maria made a shot... He chose to dribble the ball himself, down the left side, and pass it to the middle"

"Cavani!"

"Head the ball!"

“GOOOOOOO—AAAAAAAAA—LLLLLLLL!!!!”

“Edinson Cavani!!!”

"a headed goal!"

In response to Cavani's header, Stamford Bridge commentator McLaughlan commented: "Calamity, an absolute calamity for Chelsea (This is a disaster for Chelsea)"

Originally, because Chelsea had an away goal in the first leg, they could advance even if the game ended 0:0, but now it is no longer possible, because Paris' current total number of goals has reached 2 goals, while Chelsea only has 1 goal!
Looking at Cavani shooting an arrow at the corner flagpole, Jiang Yuan put his hands on his hips and looked worried. Because of Cavani's goal, Chelsea had to score a goal to win the game. This was obviously not good news for the Blues, because Chelsea players today generally had no shooting feel!
"The referee blew the whistle and Paris' attack was forced to stop. The audience in front of the screen should be able to see that the two teams fought back and forth in the first half of the game. The gap in strength was not big. Chelsea was even slightly stronger on paper."

"It's just missing this finishing touch."

"It's a 15-minute halftime break. We hope Chelsea's players can adjust their form in these 15 minutes, otherwise they will be eliminated!"

……

"boom!"

Mourinho turned the handle and then slapped the door of the locker room open: "Everyone sit down, no one speaks"

Jiang Yuan followed the team and sat quietly on the bench closest to the gate. If Mourinho suddenly went crazy and threw things around, this position should be the safest.

The Blues coach looked around the locker room, confirmed that all the players were present, and then issued his instructions: "Now, I need all of you to take off your shoes."

"what?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned and looked up at Mourinho in the middle of the room. The other players had the same reaction as Jiang Yuan.

Zuma touched his head and said: "Jose, why do you have to take off your shoes? Do you want us to play barefoot?"

"Idiot, I asked you to change your shoes, but didn't you notice that none of you can shoot a goal!"

Mourinho must have made arrangements in advance. As he spoke, the team's logistics guy pushed in a box with three kinds of shoe boxes in it: Nike, adidas, and Puma.

"..."

Jiang Yuan secretly said in his heart, wow, it turns out Mourinho also likes to play with metaphysics!

Hazard held a black and white Nike shoe box and looked up at Mourinho standing in front of him: "Can we not change it?"

"No! We must change!"

Mourinho's attitude was very firm. He even picked up the shoes that Hazard took off and threw them directly into the trash can.

Seeing the Belgian's puzzled look, Mourinho explained: "Don't worry, this pair of shoes is only 180 pounds."

Hazard spread his hands and said: "Hey, I'm not stingy with the money, it's just that I've only worn those shoes for two weeks and I'm just starting to get a feel for them."

When you get new sneakers, they are cold and very tight. You need to play football with them more often and use your feet to artificially heat them. After that, the sneakers will fit your feet better. This process is also called "breaking in the shoes."

There is no doubt that better fitting shoes can bring better performance to athletes.

"Don't say anything, just put on new shoes, we don't want to wear old ones"

Mourinho waved his hand, his eyes scanning the players on the field. Jiang Yuan rubbed his hair and found his own pair among the Adidas boxes.

欧码41又2/3，其实江远一开始来切尔西穿的是41又1/3，但他最近的脚好像变大了，所以在2周前换了大半码的球鞋。

The shooting is a little lacking, but it doesn't hurt your feet so much when you wear it.

While the players were changing their shoes, Brown explained some of the problems the team encountered in the first half, but in fact it was just a few words.

Close marking.

Continuous filling.

And the most important point in this game is to shoot more accurately.

"Snap, snap, snap, snap!"

Mourinho successfully mobilized the passion of the players on the field with his applause.

"Guys! We played very well in the first half. Even though we are behind, I believe you can win!"

"Come on, move!"

Terry took over Mourinho's words and urged the starting players to walk out of the locker room: "Go go go!"

Jiang Yuan and Zuma took advantage of the geographical location and ran out first. At the intersection of the two tunnels and the player tunnel, they met Di Maria who was walking slowly. The Argentine greeted Zuma first, and then extended his hand to Jiang Yuan: "Jiang, the Golden Boy of 2015!"

"Thank you"

Jiang Yuan also stretched out his hand, said a simple hello, and then walked into the passage with Zuma.

"tatatata"

In the player tunnel, Jiang Yuan was surprised to find that during the few minutes of their halftime break, it rained heavily at Stamford Bridge.

"Hey, Jiang!"

Zuma pointed at the dense rain outside, and no one knew what expression he had in his mind.

As long as the field is not flooded, the game must be played. It is not known whether the sudden rain in the second half is good or bad for Chelsea.

Jiang Yuan put his arm around Zuma's shoulders and said, "Little Kurt, let's cheer together!"

……

At the start of the second half, neither side made any substitutions. After all, this was a Champions League knockout match, and both Chelsea and Paris sent out their full main lineups, not daring to slack off at all.

The reason why the knockout round is called the knockout round is because if you lose, you are out!

"Blue is the colour, football is the game~"

"We're all together, and winning is our aim~"

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

"Chelsea! Pah!"

"Chelsea! Snap!" "Stanford! Snap!"

"..."

It was raining heavily, and there were many water droplets on the lenses of the cameras in the stadium. The fans at the scene did not leave, but put on raincoats and continued to watch.

Chelsea is a team with a solid foundation, and there have been many amazing miracles in the history of the Blues.

Blues fans believe in miracles.

"tatata"

There were all kinds of "tata" and "papa" sounds on the court. This was not the sound of the ball touching, but the sound of the rubber studs of the shoes stepping on the wet grass.

It is indeed a bit uncomfortable in rainy days, but it is the same for both teams, so there is no complaint.

The heavy rain made the game full of uncertainty. The rain curtain would block the players' vision, and the waterlogged grass would affect the speed and route of the pass.

In the 67th minute of the game, Chelsea launched an attack on the right, led by William.

"later!"

Fabregas ran behind William and stretched out his hand, while Ivanovic ran from the right to the middle, and the three of them made a very quick continuous wall pass and successfully passed the ball to Hazard in the middle.

Hazard looked up and saw that Jiang Yuan had already run into an open space on Chelsea's left side.

When Jiang Yuan was in an open space, Hazard only had one passing option!

Snapped!
A not particularly accurate through pass was sent from the middle. Jiang Yuan accelerated and caught the ball with the inside of his left foot before Di Maria and Rabio.

He took a step forward, then stepped his left foot forward and suddenly started cutting inside.

This time Jiang Yuan didn't plan to make any fake moves, he just wanted to tell the opponent what he was going to do.

"Go up! Go up!"

Trapp in front of the goal shouted anxiously, signaling Marquinhos to go up and block Jiang Yuan, but because Jiang Yuan had already fully started on the left, Marquinhos seemed unable to catch up. The Brazilian defender reached out to pull Jiang Yuan, but unfortunately failed.

Jiang Yuan continued to cut inside and after entering the penalty area, he paused and pretended to get down to the ground. He half-straddled the bicycle with his right foot and placed it on the original position of his left foot. Then he turned the outside of his foot and cut inside again.

Thiago Silva reacted quickly, and kicked his right foot to get close to Jiang Yuan again. At this time, the Blues left winger suddenly paused, stretched out his hand to wipe the rain on his forehead that was about to slide into his eyes, and then took a step to the right and looked at the far corner of the goal.

Hit the close corner!
"GOOOO-AAAAAAAAA-LLLLLLL!!!"

"Holy Shit!"

"WHAT A GOAL! What an unbelievable goal for Jiang"

"My God..."

McLaughlan's face was flushed in the commentary booth. His seat was blocked by a glass window, so he was not exposed to the rain.

But without the rain, McLaughlan always felt that something was missing. So he picked up the microphone, came out from the commentary box, stood on the top stand, and cheered loudly with the fans in raincoats.

"Chelsea!"

"Chelsea!"

"Chlsea!"

McLaughlin held up the microphone and shouted: "Who scored the goal?"

"J!"

"I!"

"Ah!"

"N!"

"G!"

"The number 7, Jiang!"

"woowwwwwow!"

The camera focused on Jiang Yuan's face. In the heavy rain, Jiang Yuan's sneakers stepped on the grass, splashing rain water. Under the gaze of millions of spectators, he ran into the goal of Paris, pulled up the net and picked up the ball.

Hazard shouted in the penalty area: "Back! Back!"

Chelsea's shots in the first half failed to score, and Jiang Yuan scored the first goal.

Jiang Yuan has recovered his shooting form, so it is obvious what to do next.

Pass the ball to Jiang!

"Move! Move!"

The sudden goal ignited Mourinho's passion. Chelsea's Portuguese coach gave up the idea of ​​taking shelter from the rain and rushed out without even wearing his down jacket or hat.

Fuck France!

With Jiang Yuan's first goal of the game, Chelsea's game rhythm slowly picked up. Football games are like this, a goal can change everything.

The Chelsea in the second half is not the same Chelsea as the Chelsea in the first half!

Paris coach Blanc has realized that something is wrong, and he used his hands and mouth to direct the Paris players on the field: "Watch him, the number 7, don't let him get the ball!"

In the 70th minute of the game, Chelsea's offensive momentum became more and more fierce, but because the field was slippery, the offensive process was not very smooth.

"Hazard got the ball in the middle and passed it to Willian on the far right. Mora tried to steal it, but Willian reacted quickly and passed it back to Ivanovic."

"Mora followed up, it was obvious that Paris didn't want Chelsea to find an attacking opportunity"

"From the current situation on the field, Chelsea obviously has the advantage. In this case, Paris' frontcourt needs to do a good job of pressing. If Chelsea passes the ball out from the backcourt, it will definitely be very disadvantageous for Paris."

"Ivanovic, long pass directly to Jiang Yuan on the left sideline"

"Ouch, the rain obstructed the vision, and because the ball was a bit slippery, Jiang Yuan didn't stop the ball very well."

"Adjust and go to the middle!"

"Azar!"

"Give it to Hazard in the middle, Hazard takes the ball, shakes off Silva, and walks in from the middle!"

"Hazard is down!"

"Beep——!!"

“Beep, beep, beep—!!!”

The Stamford Bridge stadium was filled with whistles. He fell to the ground in the penalty area. This was a very good opportunity for Chelsea.

"It seems that Silva kicked Hazard's ankle, and it seems that Hazard slipped by himself. It's not very clear..."

"The referee comes over and blows the whistle. The referee blows the whistle!"

"Penalty! It's a penalty for Chelsea!"

"In the 82nd minute of the game, Chelsea got a penalty kick"

"Let's see who will take the penalty..."

In the heavy rain, the players from both teams gathered at the top of the arc and quarreled. Obviously, the Paris players were not very satisfied with the penalty decision.
