Chapter 272 Kyle Walker Gum (+2k)

The game is still going on. Chelsea is at its peak recently, so Eriksen's goal did not affect the players' mentality too much.

In addition, today's game is held at their home ground, Stamford Bridge, so the Blues players are quite confident that they can make up the score.

Chelsea, who were behind, were still confident, so Tottenham, who were ahead, would be even more confident. They scored a goal in just 15 minutes, and Tottenham wanted to continue to expand the score.

It’s true that Chelsea’s forward line is luxurious, but Tottenham’s forward line isn’t much worse!

"Move, move, move forward! Eden, stop strolling!"

Under Mourinho's command, Chelsea, who were behind, began their counterattack against Tottenham at home. With William's quick pass from the left, Jiang Yuan got the ball outside the penalty area, but unfortunately the quality of the shot that followed was not high and was pushed over the crossbar by Lori with both hands.

"The quality of this shot is a bit disappointing, but considering that Jiang Yuan just rushed over suddenly and had no time to adjust his balance, it's not surprising that it didn't go well."

"It was Chelsea's second corner kick in this game. I think this is an opportunity that can be used, because we know that Chelsea has many players who are good at heading, such as Ibrahimovic, Jiang Yuan, Zouma, and even the two full-backs, Ivanovic and Azpilicueta, all of whom are good at heading."

"Chelsea's heading ability puts a lot of pressure on Tottenham's two central defenders, Vertonghen and Alderweireld. Let's see if Chelsea can make good use of this corner kick opportunity."

"William took the corner kick, and there was chaos in Tottenham's penalty area. The first ball was cleared by Vertonghen, but it was not thorough enough. The second ball was taken by Mikel, who kicked it directly from outside the penalty area!"

"Hey, it's a bit high."

The shot was a bit high. I can only say that the CCTV commentary was too tactful. Mikel's long shot did not seem to be aimed at the goal at all, but went straight to the top stands.

The shot from the Chelsea midfielder showed the strength of the Premier League players, but it did not show their shooting accuracy.

"it's okay no problem"

Terry ran over and high-fived Mikel, and consoled him for his missed shot: "There's still plenty of time."

That's true, Mikel felt guilty for wasting a chance to shoot. But before Mikel could recover, Lori's big kick was coming.

“Go back quickly!!”

Zouma shouted loudly, and he was already heading back to the backcourt. Tottenham's counterattack ability is very good, and Chelsea cannot afford to slack off against such a team.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of defending the corner kick, Tottenham's right back Kyle Walker and left back Danny Rose secretly switched positions. Jiang Yuan didn't notice it at first, until he broke through the wing, he found that the person facing him had changed!

fuck.

Jiang Yuan felt a little uncomfortable. Mourinho was right. Tottenham would definitely let Kyle Walker defend him in order to prevent Jiang Yuan from finding any starting opportunities on the right.

In order to restrict Jiang Yuan, Pochettino made a very bold decision. He replaced Walker to the left side, which he was not very good at. Basically, he wanted Walker and Jiang Yuan to self-destruct.

Tottenham made some adjustments for themselves, and Jiang Yuan was not idle either. He looked at Hazard at the far end of the left, and the two of them would switch positions later.

However, it was not the time to change players yet. Jiang Yuan and Hazard would only switch positions after a corner kick and a foul. Before the time came, Jiang Yuan could only race against Walker on the right.

"Ivanovic passed the ball directly to Jiang Yuan, who stopped and passed it, which was very exciting, and he bypassed Son Heung-min directly."

"But now Jiang Yuan is facing Kyle Walker, who is also very fast."

"Hey, while we were talking, Jiang Yuan and Walker had already come up. Jiang Yuan wanted to force his way in, but the speed difference between the two was not that big..."

"It's almost the end line. There's nothing I can do. Stop immediately and pass the ball back to William."

"Well, this is what we said before. Pochettino will definitely do something about Jiang Yuan. Speedy strikers are most afraid of not strong defenders like Vertonghen and Zouma, but full-backs who are also good at speed."

"Walker doesn't even need to steal the ball. He just needs to keep following Jiang Yuan and not let him dribble inside or go to the bottom alone. You sprint, I sprint, and neither of us will have any outstanding performances."

Many fans watching football in the live broadcast room do not understand the tactics, and this is when CCTV's official commentary comes into play.

Duan Ran was right. Chelsea could either give up on Jiang Yuan today and focus on the left where Hazard was, or let Hazard and Jiang Yuan switch positions. Mourinho chose the second option, letting Hazard and Jiang Yuan switch positions.

Due to Hazard's technical characteristics, he is not afraid of Walker. In fact, compared to Danny Rose who is good at stealing, Hazard prefers to face Kyle Walker.

After playing for 7 or 8 minutes, there was no opportunity for substitution, so in one of Chelsea's attacks, William took the ball in the front and cooperated with Ibrahimovic, and Hazard on the left suddenly ran to the middle. Jiang Yuan understood what he meant and ran from right to left.

How could Walker not know what Jiang Yuan was thinking? The task given to him by Pochettino was to lock Jiang Yuan one-on-one, so when he saw Jiang Yuan going to the middle, he followed him.

But this time they fell into Chelsea's trap. If the two wingers changed positions, it would at most cause the offense to be suspended, but if the two full-backs tried to forcibly change positions, it would create a defensive gap!
When Walker followed Jiang Yuan and ran to the middle, Ivanovic suddenly accelerated to the bottom.

nonono!

As the head coach of Tottenham, Pochettino has realized that something is wrong. The Argentine was shouting wildly on the sidelines, signaling Vertonghen to come out of the penalty area to defend Ivanovic, but it was impossible to do so in time.

Snapped!
William passed the ball straight to the right bottom line. Ivanovic ran over and did not stop the ball. He looked towards the middle and passed it directly.

In the middle, Jiang Yuan suddenly changed direction and ran into the penalty area, but Ivanovic's pass was to the back point and Jiang Yuan did not get the ball.

At the back point, Ibrahimovic jumped up, carried Alderweireld's body and headed the ball directly.

"what!"

Lori fell to the right, but unfortunately his reaction was still slow. When the Tottenham goalkeeper fully stretched out his body, Ibrahimovic's header had already touched the inside of the goal.

“GOOOOOOOO—AAAAAAAAAAAA—LLLLLLLLL!!!”

“head goal form Zlatan Ibrahimovi”

“It's a wonderful teamwork”

The assist was made by Ivanovic and the goal was scored by Ibrahimovic. It seemed that there were only two people, but in fact, at least seven Chelsea players participated in this attack.

"hoo, shit!"

Mourinho smiled. The Portuguese coach was very excited: "My God, Lyon, these idiots are finally getting the point!"

Ibrahimovic celebrated by hugging Ivanovic at the edge of the field. The Tottenham players in the penalty area were all dejected, and head coach Pochettino sat back on the bench in shame.

It is embarrassing for the players on the field when a single player of the opponent scores a goal, but it is embarrassing for Pochettino who was laughing in front of the bench just now when the opponent scored an easy goal with his skills and tactics.

Walker didn't understand. Pochettino told him to just follow Jiang Yuan, but Walker followed him from the left to the middle. He did the coach's job, but it wasn't a very smart way to do it.

"Chelsea!"

Boom!

"Chelsea!"

Bang bang bang!
As the home team equalized the score, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more lively, and of course Ibrahimovic's contribution was indispensable.

"louder please!"

"Louder!"

The Swede raised his arms with an extremely excited expression. The fans also cooperated and directly shouted Ibrahimovic's name.

Normally, when Hazard or Jiang Yuan scored, the fans would not only shout their names, but even name them letter by letter. Ibrahimovic did not receive this treatment. It was not that the fans did not want to, but his name was too long. If you did not look at the jersey, it was estimated that less than 10% of the people at the scene could spell out Ibrahimovic's full name.

Don't think that the British are good at spelling words. Many of them can only speak but not write.

For example, the English composition that Zuma wrote for Jiang Yuan a week ago not only had poor grammar, but also many spelling errors.

At that time, Jiang Yuan did not revise his work and directly handed in Zuma's homework. Only then did he get a high score of 5 points. 5 points were given for the format, and the remaining 2 points were given by the English teacher out of courtesy.

In the 41st minute, Jiang Yuan cut inside from the left against Walker and made a long shot. However, it was really difficult to shoot accurately under confrontation. Jiang Yuan's shot was a bit similar to Mikel's before, also an airplane shot.

The two teams fought back and forth, and soon the first half was over. Amid the cheers of the fans, the players of both teams slowly returned to the locker room.

In the player tunnel, Sun Xingmin walked straight towards Jiang Yuan and said, "Jiang, can you give me your contact information after the game?"

Jiang Yuan and Son Heung-min clapped their hands: "No problem, see you in the player tunnel then"

"Well, see you then."

……

In the locker room, the Blues coaching staff and players discussed the issues concerning Jiang Yuan and Walker.

Hazard was lying on the physiotherapy bed, and two physiotherapists were applying essential oil to his thighs: "Why don't we let Jiang come to the left, and I will also be on the left. We don't need a right winger, so Kyle must come over, and our two wingers will play against their two wingers, and Jiang and I can cover each other."

"no!"

Mourinho immediately rejected Hazard's suggestion: "The concentration of attacking players is not good for us"

Mourinho was right. According to Hazard's suggestion, Jiang Yuan stayed with him, and Danny Rose and Walker also had to go together. But Hazard forgot to consider that intensive defense is far more effective than intensive offense. If Jiang Yuan stayed with him as Hazard said, it would undoubtedly give Tottenham a chance.

Moreover, Chelsea's two wingers are good at single-player breakthroughs rather than cooperation. Let Jiang Yuan and Hazard, two players with the ball, cooperate with each other. Let's not talk about how it works in practice. This thing is not feasible in theory.

There was only one football on the field, but it was not enough for Hazard and Jiang Yuan to share.

Brown moved the tactical board over: "I don't think it's necessary to change positions like this. Kyle defended Jiang Yuan in the first half, which was effective, but it wasn't as exaggerated as imagined. If Jiang can't break through, he can cooperate with William, Ivan, or Zlatan."

Mourinho nodded: "Attacking should not be a one-man job. We made a mistake before. So, in the second half, Jiang will go to the left, Eden will go to the right, and no matter where Kyle goes, we will keep this style of play unchanged."

"correct!"

Mourinho suddenly remembered something and added: "The crossover in the first half was very good. We can try more opportunities like that. The opponent's defense is very tight and we can lead them to make mistakes."

Ibrahimovic stood in the center circle. Jiang Yuan and Hazard switched positions before the game started, which made Pochettino outside the field a little strange. Tottenham's Argentine coach immediately started a discussion with the coaching staff.

A high-level football match may seem like 11 players versus 11 players, but it is actually a contest between the coaching staff and medical teams of both sides.

In terms of substitutions, just like in previous games, the field was filled with home and away team players wearing yellow vests, but neither coach made any substitutions.

As the season progresses, neither Chelsea nor Tottenham have any European games to play, so they must go all out in every league game.

"Hey! There's someone behind us!"

Jiang Yuan turned around and took the ball, and William shouted from the side.

There was someone behind him, and needless to say, he knew that it was most likely Walker running towards him. Jiang Yuan handled the situation very decisively, and passed the ball directly to the middle with his right foot.

Then turning around, Jiang Yuan saw Kyle Walker, who was less than three meters away from him.

Damn, this guy is really clingy.

In the first half, Jiang Yuan was entertained by Walker for more than 20 minutes. Jiang Yuan was definitely not convinced because he failed every time he went to the bottom. Just now, because of Jiang Yuan's pass, Walker paused halfway.

Got it!

Seeing the opportunity, Jiang Yuan started immediately and rushed out from Walker's right side, which is the left sideline.

"Go back quickly! Keep an eye on him!"

Jiang Yuan's sudden start made Pochettino a little anxious. The Argentine shouted loudly outside the court, but unfortunately Chelsea's left side was far away from the bench in the second half. Walker did not hear Pochettino's shouting in the noise until Jiang Yuan passed by him.

no!

Walker's first reaction was to follow, but Jiang Yuan used a little trick here. He suddenly turned right and blocked Walker, then slowed down.

If Walker didn't slow down his speed at this time, he would crash into Jiang Yuan. As long as Walker hits him, no matter how hard he hits, Jiang Yuan will 200% fall to the ground and get a free kick.

Walker has been at Tottenham since 09 and is considered an experienced defender. Seeing Jiang Yuan slowing down, he ran directly to the right and ran diagonally towards the penalty area. At this time, Jiang Yuan did a fancy move, turning 360 degrees and cutting inside from the bottom.

While running towards the middle, he turned back and blew Walker a kiss.

fuck!

Walker turned his head and watched William pass the ball to Jiang Yuan. Ibrahimovic in the penalty area keenly sensed the opportunity and ran all the way from the large penalty area to the small penalty area, with the aim of keeping Vertonghen and Alderweireld away from Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan, who got the chance, leaned his body slightly to the right, his eyes looking at the far corner of the goal, but actually shot at the near corner.

In front of the goal line, Lori stood there, watching the ball go into the net to his right.

"GOOOOOOOO-AAAAAAAAA-LLLLLLLL!!!"

"What a brilliant goal for Jaing!"

Chelsea was still behind at the beginning, but in the 71st minute of the second half, Jiang Yuan made a very deceptive long-range shot to overtake the score.

Chelsea leads 2:1 at home!

"Wohoo!"

Jiang Yuan ran to the right. Ibrahimovic, Hazard, and Jiang Yuan who was running in the front, all three of them fell backwards and slid to their knees at the same time.

Chelsea's 1.65 million striker lineup, what a spectacular scene!

[Hahahaha, I said, I said Tottenham can't beat Chelsea, you guys are not good enough, Eriksen's long-range shot was purely his personal strength. If you look at the team, Tottenham can't beat Chelsea! ]

[Xiao Jiang's individual combat capability is still strong. I am already looking forward to the Olympics.]

[Don’t look forward to the Olympics yet, wait for the summer transfer window to update the value, then you will see, by then Jiang Yuan’s value will definitely exceed Hazard]

[Needless to say, Jiang Yuan's performance is really outrageous. He has already scored 26 goals. Damn, is there a chance for him to score 30 goals this season?]

[If I didn’t play for the national team, I would have been able to score 30 goals, but now the chances seem slim]

【Brothers in tears】

[It doesn’t matter. With 26 goals, the second place can’t catch up. Now the second place has only 23 goals. I’m not worried at all.]

[Damn, it’s this thing again, looking at the far angle and shooting at the near angle, is this thing so useful? I want to practice it too]

[It's useless. You can't achieve the same feeling as Xiao Jiang. And this kind of kick requires strong core strength. If you don't have core strength, it's just a flying kick.]

[The 1.65 million striker is really awesome, it's a pity that Costa left, otherwise it would be a 2 million striker, definitely the best in the Premier League]

[Well, Mourinho is also a talent. He sold a 20-something Diego Costa to buy a 30-something Ibrahimovic. I don't know what he was thinking. Hazard doesn't play downfield, so what's the point of buying a center forward who is almost 2 meters tall?]

[Just tell me whether Chelsea won or not]

After regaining the lead at home, Mourinho's passion was ignited again.

As long as this score remains until the end, Chelsea can return to the top of the table and achieve the third championship!

It is now 9:40 pm London time and it is completely dark. However, the lighting equipment at Stamford Bridge is very advanced. In addition to the stadium, there are eye-catching beams of light in the sky more than 1 meters around. The stadium is also very lively and you can hear the fans singing even more than 200 meters away.

And of course, there’s McLaughlan’s voice in the live commentary.

On the court!
"There is not much time left for Tottenham. The fourth official on the sidelines raised a sign, there is a substitution adjustment here."

"Ngiye replaced Danny Rose, forward replaced defender, Pochettino is going all out"

"In this case, Dier will step back and Eriksen will fill in for Dier. Tottenham will give up the attacking midfielder and go straight to a four-forward position."

"This……"

Pochettino's substitutions have confused the CCTV commentators. If I remember correctly, this should be the second Premier League team this season to use four forwards in a game.

The first one is Chelsea, but N'Gier is different from William. N'Gier is an absolutely authentic striker, and Pochettino brought him up to play a breakthrough.

However, there is no use for eggs.

Starting from the 28th and 29th rounds, Zouma's condition has increased exponentially, from a substitute at the beginning of the season to a starter in the middle of the season, and now to a top-notch central defender in the Premier League.

I don't know if it was influenced by Jiang Yuan, but Zouma's growth rate was also ridiculously fast. In the 85th minute, he even took a long shot from the outside and almost scored a goal.

"shit!"

Zouma opened his hands, a little dissatisfied with his previous shot. If this shot could have gone in, it would have been the best goal of the 36th round of the league.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

“Let’s go!”

"Okay, the game is over. In the end, Chelsea, playing at home, defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2:1 and returned to the top of the standings with a total score of 75 points."

"Tsk, I remember this is Chelsea's third time topping the list this season, it looks like the race for the title is still fierce."

"But what we can be sure of is that Chelsea now has one game less and two points more than the second place, so it can be said that they have the initiative in the championship race."

"Of course, Leicester City and Arsenal still have two more games to play, so it's hard to say who will be the champion in the end."

……

The front page headline of "The Times" - London derby, Chelsea beat Tottenham 2:1, Ibrahimovic and Jiang Yuan scored, Eriksen scored a world wave, Chelsea returned to the top of the league standings.

"The Athlete" - Chelsea's Jiang leads the Premier League scorer list with 26 goals, Kane and Aguero are second with 23 goals, and Vardy is fourth with 22 goals.

The Sun's front-page headline: According to Jiang's alma mater Qing Shan High School, the English homework that the player handed in at 4 pm London time on April 24 was most likely not completed by him. At 8:7 pm the previous night, fellow stars Hazard and Zouma appeared in Jiang's mansion in the small town of Woodmansbury, and the current clues point to these two players.

The second headline on the front page of The Sun - Tottenham defender Kyle Walker was found dating two sexy models at the same time, and the two models are currently unaware of each other's existence.

Chelsea team reporter: Mourinho condemned the players who completed Jiang's English homework and pointed out that such behavior was not good for Jiang.

The front page headline of "Marca" - Fernando own goal, Real Madrid beat Manchester City 1-0 at home and advanced, and will have a decisive battle with Atletico Madrid in 2 weeks.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Ronaldo responded positively to the competition for the Champions League Golden Boot: First of all, I am sure that Jiang is a very good player. He scored 16 goals in a single season in the Champions League, and he was just 18 years old when he achieved all this. Although my current number of goals is not as good as Jiang's, you know, I still have one game, so all this cannot be concluded yet.

Qingshan Evening News - According to local police investigation, Zhu XX, a senior English teacher at Qingshan Middle School, accepted a bribe from a foreign journalist and shared a photo with the foreign journalist. It is not clear whether the content of the photo constitutes espionage.

Qingshan Middle School's announcement 1: We are unable to reveal the contents of the photos at this time, but our school can guarantee that the photos do not involve any state secrets. In addition, the teacher involved has been fired, and our school will actively cooperate with the police investigation.

Qingshan Middle School's Announcement 2 - Regarding the British media The Sun, the foreign media slandered our school's Class 305 student Jiang Yuan, falsely claiming that the student had someone else write his English homework for him. In response, our school clearly stated that Jiang Yuan has always been an active and hardworking student, and he would not and could not have someone else write his homework for him.

Wonderful comment from the football expert: Xiao Jiang, Uncle Eden and Uncle Kurt are here to help you with your homework!
