Chapter 318 League Round 5, Liverpool

Snapped!
Ibrahimovic's header was a little straight, and goalkeeper Burki raised his hands and successfully pushed the ball over the crossbar.

"In the 86th minute, Chelsea won a corner kick, which was the Blues' fifth corner kick in this game"

"Azpilicueta is still in charge, let's see the quality of this corner"

"Look, the first position is... Jiang Yuan!"

"Jiang Yuan heads the ball! The ball goes in!"

“GOOOOOOO—AAAAAAAAA—LLLLLLLL!!!!”

The live commentary sounded, and Stamford Bridge fell into carnival at this moment.

Lore!

An undisputed killer move!

"Roar--!!!!"

Jiang Yuan let out a hysterical roar towards the home team's stands to vent his inner joy.

"Good! Good fellow!"

"Pretty!"

Mourinho in front of the stands clenched his fist and swung it upwards.

I thought it was going to be a draw, but I didn't expect Jiang Yuan to stand up again.

Chelsea players celebrated near the left corner flagpole. The director first gave Jiang Yuan a close-up shot, and then showed the defense of the ball.

Inside the penalty area, players from both sides all stood in position, with Jiang Yuan, Pogba, and Zouma sticking together.

At the moment Fabregas touched the ball, the three ran in two different directions. Jiang Yuan and Zouma ran to the left together, Papastathopoulos followed, but Jiang Yuan suddenly accelerated towards the small penalty area and directly shook off the Dortmund defender.

Top-notch sense of goal, top-notch positioning ability. It is hard to imagine that these two things can appear in a winger at the same time. He is definitely a goal-scoring machine!

[Awesome! This move completely confused Dortmund’s defenders]

[Who said Xiao Jiang couldn't score against strong teams before? Now look, who scored this brace? ]

[It’s still fun to play in a club, these Chelsea players are really great]

【Chelsea is awesome! 】

[This lore was really fierce. Tuchel must have been stunned. I remember a blogger on the football website analyzed that Jiang Yuan didn't have a sense of smell in front of the goal, so he couldn't score like a center forward. Now look at it, what else could this be if not a sense of smell? ]

[It's incredible. Xiao Jiang's Champions League goals have surpassed his league goals again...]

[Hahahaha, it’s the Champions League Golden Boot after all]

[Jiang Yuan: What's the point of winning the Champions League Golden Boot? I won the Rio Olympics bronze medal!]

[Just a passerby, is this guy named Jiang Yuan really that awesome? Why are so many of you praising him?]

[Let’s put it this way, Xiao Jiang’s historical status in Chinese football is comparable to that of Gao Qiu! ]

[This can’t be criticized, this is a real master]

"Rubbish!"

"dortmund out!"

“Xuuu——!!!!”

Amid the boos of Chelsea fans at the scene, Tuchel sat back on the bench.

Trailing 2:3, the score difference is not big on the surface, but if you watch the whole game, you will know how regrettable it is for Dortmund today.

The 87th minute loss was a lore-worthy death, which was an unacceptable fact for Dortmund and its fans. But there was nothing they could do, this was the result of the game.

Due to Reus's injury, Dortmund is not in the best form at the moment, so it is reasonable that they lost to Chelsea.

Because there were not many fouls, the game was only given 2 minutes of extra time. In the final time, Tuchel organized Dortmund players to make a last-ditch effort.

Aubameyang's sudden advance in the frontcourt caused Fabregas to lose the ball. Fortunately, Ivanovic behind him reacted quickly, rushed forward to commit a tactical foul, and used his yellow card to protect Chelsea's goal.

The last free kick opportunity was given to defender Guerrero. This Portuguese-French defender has a very high level of direct free kicks. The Dortmund fans in front of the screen placed all their hopes on him.

Unfortunately, Guerrero's free kick was strong, but not as exaggerated as Jiang Yuan's. In order to pursue the ultimate angle, Guerrero's direct free kick was a bit off target.

Dortmund needed a hero, but that hero wasn't Rafael Guerrero.

“Beep, beep, beep—!!!”

Clattenburg blew the whistle three times and the game was over.

"Lue 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!

Boom!

Chelsea!

Boom!

As the staff played the Chelsea team song, the Blues fans brought the atmosphere to a climax, so the players did not leave the field immediately. Everyone dispersed and walked towards the fan stands closest to them.

"Wow!"

Zuma rushed out from behind, and while Jiang Yuan wasn't paying attention, he jumped directly onto Jiang Yuan: "China baby, I love you so much!"

Because it was a last-minute win, and the opponent was the Bundesliga giants Dortmund, this victory was very different from other victories. At least Zouma was so excited.

In the first game after returning from injury, we won 3:2, which was really cool.

"Fuck!"

The sudden pressure from behind made Jiang Yuan yell, "Kurt, get down here!"

Jiang Yuan turned his upper body and threw Zuma off his back: "Come on, Jiang, this is a celebration, aren't you celebrating?"

Hearing Zuma complaining about him, Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes at him and complained, "Little Kurt, don't forget, you weigh more than 220 pounds!"

……

"We will we will ~ Rock you!"

"We will we will ~ Rock you!"

In the locker room, Chelsea players who just won the game are singing to celebrate. After Oscar left the team, Pogba became the new DJ of the team.

Pogba has an accent when he sings, but he has a strong sense of rhythm. He sings and dances at the same time, and he gets everyone involved. Even Hazard, who doesn't usually dance, joins in with a bottle of mineral water.

"Well?"

Zouma noticed Fabregas sitting on a bench playing with his phone, so he walked over and said, "Hey, Cesc, we're dancing, why are you still playing with your phone? Are you chatting with some model again?"

"Go away!"

Fabregas put the phone back in his arms and glared at Zuma, scaring him so much that he stood there and dared not move.

???

Fabregas's voice was so loud that almost all the players in the locker room heard it. Jiang Yuan winked at Pogba, signaling him to turn off the speakers first.

cough.

Fabregas coughed dryly, put his phone back in his pocket, looked at his teammates who were all staring at him, and realized that he had said the wrong thing just now, so he stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with Zouma: "Man, just now... well, you know, I remembered some unhappy things."

"Oh, we are all brothers, it's okay!"

After all, Zouma is not Pogba. When he saw Fabregas apologizing, he simply patted the latter on the shoulder to show that he did not take it to heart.

Because of the commotion, the players were no longer in the mood to dance, which made the atmosphere a bit awkward.

Kant quietly walked to Jiang Yuan and asked in a low voice: "Jiang, this... is nothing going to happen?"

Jiang Yuan scratched his hair: "If you ask me, I don't know..."

"Um……"

Kante put his hand on Jiang Yuan's shoulder and secretly glanced at Fabregas in the distance. Fabregas no longer had the angry expression he had before, but was still playing with his phone alone.

In fact, if the locker room was in a state of cooling down, Zouma would have stepped out to warm up the atmosphere, but Fabregas just scolded Zouma directly, which made Zouma feel very uncomfortable. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

Crunch!

At this time, Mourinho, who had just finished an interview outside, pushed the door open and saw that all the players were sitting on the bench. He was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. He pointed at Hazard and said, "Eden, accept the interview."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the players in the locker room ran out one after another. Watching the players passing by them, Mourinho and Brown looked at each other and raised their eyebrows in confusion.

We won the game with a buzzer beater, but no one was playing music in the locker room. It was really weird!
At Stamford Bridge, Hazard was interviewed by an ESPN reporter. If Jiang Yuan was present, he would be able to recognize the reporter at the first moment.

This is Daisy. Jiang Yuan was also interviewed by her when he played in the Champions League in Porto.

"Hazard, first of all, congratulations on your successful transformation into the midfield position"

One of the characteristics of Daisy is that she pronounces words very clearly, even some beginners of English can understand what she says.

"Well, you got the winning goal in this game, which is obviously the result of the hard work of you, your teammates and the coach. In your opinion, who is the best player in the Chelsea team in this game?"

"Jiang, without a doubt"

Hazard shrugged. Chelsea scored three goals, two of which were scored by Jiang Yuan alone. Regardless of everything else, Jiang Yuan was the MVP today just for that last header that was worth a thousand gold.

"Well, what do you want to say to Jiang?"

"Um……"

Hazard rolled his eyes upwards, thought for a moment, and finally said: "First of all, he is a very outstanding and talented player, and he is also a very nice person. I like playing with him. He will recommend me some delicious Chinese food, and I will also share the Belgian sauce I brought with him."

"Um...Eden, I'm talking about the game."

Daisy reminded.

"Oh, sorry, sorry. Actually, I don't think there's much to say about this aspect of the game. Jiang is the best player I've ever worked with, and he's improving very quickly. You see, when he was at Chelsea just now, his market value was only 2000 million euros, and after one season, he has surpassed me now."

Although his value was surpassed, Hazard looked like he didn't care. It's hard to imagine that there are professional players who can be as calm as Hazard.

In Hazard's view, winning the game and getting paid is enough, and scoring a few goals is not a big deal. After all, he is now playing as a front midfielder, and Jiang Yuan is completely unable to play as a front midfielder.

Daisy nodded: "Some people say that Jiang scored too many goals, which is hurting the team..."

"what?"

Azar was stunned for a moment: "Sorry ma'am, can you say it again?"

"Jiang scored too many goals, which hurt the team. What do you think?"

"Oh~shit"

Hazard took a deep breath, it seemed that he had not heard wrong just now.

In the picture, Hazard reached out and took the microphone from Daisy's hand: "I don't know what this is talking about, but what is certain is that the person who said this must have some problems with his brain."

“So you’re criticizing the speaker of this statement?”

“No, no, no, I’m not criticizing them.”

Hazard shook his head and continued: "Out of concern for people with intellectual disabilities, I personally will not criticize them. After all, you know, if there is a problem with the brain, sometimes what they say is really strange. We should maintain enough respect for these people with intellectual disabilities."

Phelps attends hearing: American swimming star Phelps pointed out before the Olympics that he wanted a fair competitive environment. Phelps stressed that anti-doping tests on Chinese athletes before the Olympics were not enough (including the Chinese men's and women's swimming teams, the Chinese men's gymnastics team, and the Chinese men's football team). Phelps criticized WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) at the meeting and said that the United States no longer trusts WADA.

Italian famous reporter Romano: Zidane asked Florentino about the possibility of Jiang's transfer, hoping to bring Jiang to the Bernabeu after the end of the season.

Chelsea and Dortmund's football experts gave their post-match ratings: Jiang Yuan 8.3, Kante 7.9, Ibrahimovic and Hazard 7.5, Pogba and Courtois 5.5, and Fabregas was the lowest at 4.5.

UEFA Championship Table for Group G:

1. Chelsea – 3 points

2. Monaco – 3 points

3. Dortmund – 0 points

4. Sporting CP – 0 points

……

After returning from Rio, the British media continued to report negative news about Jiang Yuan, believing that Jiang Yuan could not play the same results as last season. Neither Chelsea nor Jiang Yuan himself responded on social media.

Because in competitive sports, how athletes speak is actually not important.

No need to say more, the results will speak for you. When Jiang Yuan received the MVP trophy from Mourinho, the matter was over.

The players went to The Connaught to drink that night and unexpectedly ran into Arsenal players who were also there to celebrate. The two teams hit it off and nearly 40 people shared a box.

We used the largest private room in the bar, but it was still a bit crowded. Eight people sat on a 3-meter-long sofa. It seemed a bit impossible to do, but many people were sitting on other people's thighs. Although there were eight people, in fact, only five of them had their butts touching the sofa.

The happiest ones among them were Zouma and Pogba. There are a bunch of French players in the Arsenal team. When they got together, they spoke French, which Jiang Yuan could not understand.

Jiang Yuan was sitting on the sofa and noticed Monreal walking around aimlessly. Monreal immediately saw Jiang Yuan and walked over with a bottle of wine.

"River!"

Monreal wanted to pour the vodka in his bottle into Jiang Yuan's glass, but Jiang Yuan refused, saying that he couldn't drink alcohol with a high alcohol content. But it didn't matter. Jiang Yuan immediately asked the waiter to push the cart over and picked out a bottle of Corona, three slices of lemon and a small bottle of cranberry juice. Jiang Yuan helped Monreal mix the wine and then handed it to him: "Well, try this too, it tastes pretty good."

"Jiang, you still mix drinks?"

Monreal took the glass with some surprise and took a sip.

It must be said that Jiang Yuan's cocktail-making skills are quite good.

"Eden and John taught me, but John wasn't here today."

Jiang Yuan put the half-empty glass of wine back on the table. Terry was not included in the game roster today, so he took his family out for dinner.

According to Terry, he could arrive around 1 a.m. and drink with everyone then.

“So that’s how it is”

Monreal nodded, his expression suddenly serious, then he looked up at Jiang Yuan and asked, "Where's Cesc? I remember he should be with you today, right?"

When he met Chelsea players at the door just now, Monreal was looking for his Spanish compatriot, but he didn't see him. Later, Monreal thought Fabregas was not there, so he went to UEFA's website to check Chelsea's match list today.

The roster clearly states that Fabregas came on as a substitute in the second half, so there is no reason why he should not be there.

"Um, this..."

Jiang Yuan touched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment. After thinking carefully, he decided to be vague: "I don't know. Maybe he went back home because of something. I haven't seen him since the game."

"That's it..."

Monreal nodded. He felt a little sad that his fellow villager didn't come, but it didn't matter. Monreal immediately started playing with Azpilicueta.

"Hey, Jiang!"

Zouma walked over with a man taller than him: "This is Giroud, Olivier Giroud"

Giroud wanted Zuma to help him get to know Jiang Yuan. Zuma certainly would not refuse the request of his fellow villager, and immediately agreed to bring Giroud over.

As a striker, the Premier League Golden Boot winner has a special appeal for Giroud.

"oh, bro, come on"

Jiang Yuan poured wine on his quilt, stood up and greeted Giroud. Giroud was also awesome. Seeing Jiang Yuan drinking a glass of Corona, he walked over directly, took a 330ml bottle of Corona from the cart, opened the bottle cap and drank it all: "Jiang, do you know me?"

“Of course, we played together before.”

Jiang Yuan knew Giroud wanted to hurry, so he opened his WhatsApp and the two exchanged contact information. Noticing Jiang Yuan taking out his phone, the Arsenal players in the box rushed over.

"I'll add one too!"

"Give me a WA so that we can contact you later."

Giroud held the phone and spread his arms: "Hey! What are you doing? I wanted it first, get out of my way!"

……

On the third day after the game, Chelsea players resumed training. Brown held a notebook and read out the training preparations for this morning.

"First, we will do five 5-yard shuttle runs. This will be the first one. After that, we will do the corner kick attack. Our corner kick attack still has some flaws and needs to be improved..."

The players gathered together, and Hazard on the side nudged Jiang Yuan in the ribs with his elbow. The latter was stunned at first, then reacted and looked for Fabregas on the grass.

The result was, nothing was found.

Zuma leaned forward and asked, "What's going on?"

Hazard spread his hands: "How should I know, Jose is not here either"

"Wow"

Zuma chewed gum with a strange expression: "Is Cesc going to fight with Jose? Who will we help then?"

"idiot"

dong dong!

On the second floor of the main building, in the head coach's office, Fabregas knocked on the door.

After walking in, Mourinho sat on the chair and looked straight at Fabregas in front of him: "Cesc, what's the matter?"

"I want to ask about the starting lineup, or rather...Jose, I want to ask, am I still in your tactical arrangement?"

Fabregas must have been prepared. He spoke very directly, and Mourinho didn't react at first.

"Sit down first. There's a chair over there. Pull it out."

Mourinho pointed to an ergonomic chair at the far end and motioned Fabregas to take the chair and sit on it.

However, Fabregas did not choose to do so. Instead, he walked straight to the desk and stood there.

Mourinho was somewhat helpless. In such an occasion, if he stood up, it would feel like the two sides were arguing, so Mourinho simply sat down: "Well, the question you just asked..."

"I just want an answer, tell me, am I in the plan for the new season?"

Fabregas looked at Mourinho and spoke very pointedly. Mourinho also maintained his seriousness: "To be honest, I didn't include you in the tactics."

"I know it, I know it!"

Even though he had expected it, Fabregas was furious after hearing Mourinho's affirmative answer: "Jose, since you didn't include me in your tactics, why didn't you tell me before the season started?"

Fabregas supported himself on the desk with both hands and leaned his upper body forward. At this time, his head was less than 20 cm away from Mourinho's eyes. Mourinho's chair had wheels, but he did not choose to step back.

"Ceske, you can sit down and talk."

"I'm not sitting down until we're done talking."

Fabregas was adamant and Mourinho had no choice but to answer the Spaniard's previous question: "I asked the club to put a price on you in the summer transfer window. You should know about this. Ms. Marina informed you."

"The deal didn't go through and I'm still at Chelsea," Fabregas reminded.

"I know the deal didn't go through. We wanted 3000 million euros, but Barcelona was only willing to pay you 1800 million euros, and Bayern's offer was only 2000 million euros. The gap between this and the club's estimate was too big, so Ms. Marina terminated the deal. I think there is no problem with that."

Mourinho's implication is that Fabregas' current situation is caused by his poor performance last season. Chelsea spent more than 3000 million pounds to buy him, and the Spaniard is now in the golden age of football players, so Chelsea is unwilling to sell Fabregas at a loss.

"You should have told me in advance!"

Fabregas yelled, but Mourinho was not scared: "Tell you in advance? Tell you what in advance, tell you that the deal is terminated? You should know this."

"That's not it. What I'm saying is, if you didn't put me in your plans for the new season, you should have told me this news before the season started!"

Fabregas's meaning is very clear. If he knew in advance that this would be the situation at the club next season, he would definitely seek to leave the team. Fabregas is 29 years old this year, and sufficient playing time is really important to him.

"What can I do if I tell you? You have a contract and the club can't sell you."

When chatting with Brown before, Mourinho said that he did not sync the message to Fabregas because he forgot, but that was not the case.

The reason why she didn't say it before the game was Marina's intention. Marina didn't want Fabregas to cause trouble during the transfer window.

If Fabregas goes on strike in protest of the transfer, it will definitely not be a good thing for the club.

Now that the transfer window is closed, Fabregas can't protest even if he wants to.

Marina's idea is to let Fabregas be a substitute in the club, slowly find his form, and then sell him at a price not lower than the purchase price after the next transfer window opens.

"So you're just going to keep me in this club? Fuck! So I'm going to be a substitute this season, from the beginning to the end, for a whole year?"

"Fuck! Fuck!"

Fabregas turned around and yelled at the air. After venting his anger, he turned to Mourinho and said, "Because I didn't perform well last season, you won't give me a chance?"

"I gave you a chance!"

Unexpectedly, Mourinho shouted back: "I asked you to come on as a substitute, but how was your performance?"

"Your mind is full of starting lineups. What's the point of thinking about it all the time? Focus on the game. With your talent and ability, can't you still start for Chelsea?"

"Train well and compete well, this is what you should do now!"

Mourinho yelled back everything he hadn't yelled back. Although he and the club had done something wrong, he absolutely couldn't let Fabregas swallow his momentum. "Cesc, out!"

fuck!

Fabregas cursed and slammed the door and left.

After Fabregas left, Mourinho lay down on the back of his chair.

call--

After training that day, Mourinho and Brown sat in the Jaguar and had a private chat about Fabregas.

"So, it's not all my fault, is it?"

Mourinho spread his hands to Brown, trying to seek recognition from his friend.

Brown touched his nose and pointed to the knob between them: "The air conditioning temperature can be lowered a little bit. The weather is too hot."

“Don’t change the subject.”

Mourinho urged, Brown hesitated a little, but finally said what was in his mind.

"I think you and the club should bear the main responsibility for this matter"

"I am mainly responsible? Why? Why? The club wanted to sell Cesc but failed. What does this have to do with me?"

Mourinho was a little emotional, which made Brown a little scared. The latter grabbed the seat belt and stammered: "Well... I personally think that even if the deal is not successful, you should notify Cesc before the start of the season and let him know in advance that he will lose his tactical position in the new season. Because if you tell Cesc this news, he will become very passive, just like now..."

"What's the point of me saying it?"

“No, you misunderstood me.”

Brown shook his head: "It's not a question of whether it's useful or not. Logically, you should say it. No matter what Cesc does, as a coach, we should synchronize the news to the players in advance."

“I don’t think so”

Mourinho folded his hands across his chest. The car had been running for more than 20 minutes, but it had not moved even one meter.

"Ahem, no matter what, Jose, I support you."

Brown did not dare to offend Mourinho and immediately expressed his attitude.

In fact, that’s about it. Although Mourinho seems to refuse to admit his mistake, he is actually very clear about it.

Because with Mourinho's character, he will never seek recognition from Brown after doing something.

If Mourinho looks for Brown, it means one thing.

Mourinho feels he did something wrong!
"Jose, we can find a way to introduce Fabregas to other clubs during the winter transfer window. It would be best not to waste too much of his time..."

Brown suggested, changing the subject and preventing Mourinho from continuing to discuss the right and wrong issue.

……

9:17 a.m. Beijing time on September 3.

"Zhuangdianertai, Zhuangdianertai!"

"Here is the live broadcast of the Premier League Round 5, Chelsea's home game against Liverpool"

"The referee is looking at the watch. The game has begun!"

"Okay, now let me introduce the starting lineups for both teams. First up is Chelsea, the home team. In this game, Mourinho chose Zouma and Terry as central defenders, so the audience may feel a little familiar with them."

"..."

"Then it was Liverpool, the visiting team, wearing red jerseys"

Liverpool (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Mignolet

Defenders: Milner, Lovren, Matip, Clyne
Midfielders: Wijnaldum, Henderson, Lallana
Forwards: Sturridge, Coutinho, Mane

Head coach: Klopp

"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~"

"..."

The game just started, and Chelsea fans gave the guests Liverpool a warning. This game is the focus of the fifth round of the Premier League. The home team is the defending champion Chelsea, and the visiting team Liverpool is also in good form this season.

Since Klopp took over the team midway through last season, Liverpool's performance has been getting better and better.

Some fans said that this was because the injured players have gradually recovered and the coach can use more core players. But it is undeniable that the German coach's coaching ability is absolutely online, otherwise Liverpool would not be the second in the league this season.

The pace of the game was relatively fast. In the 6th minute, Liverpool got a corner kick opportunity thanks to Mane's breakthrough on the right, which scared Mourinho so much that he almost couldn't breathe.

Liverpool and Chelsea have one very similar point, that is, both clubs have a player who can run very fast on the wing, Chelsea's is Jiang Yuan and Liverpool's is Mane.

"Focus and play with your brain!"

Mourinho shouted anxiously outside the field. Because of the presence of a fast striker like Mane, Azpilicueta was under great pressure in this game. Considering this situation, Mourinho specifically emphasized it to Kante when arranging tactics before the game.

Cooperate with the left side to defend!

"For Liverpool, the corner kick will be given to midfielder Henderson!"

"Corner kick taken, first penalty kick position, Ibrahimovic clears the ball!"

"The second penalty was given to Coutinho, who fired a long shot from outside the penalty area!"

"Well! It was almost there. Coutinho's long shot was too straight. Courtois hit the ball to the ground with both hands, and held it in his hands after it bounced back."

"Well, we say that since Klopp took over as coach, Liverpool's offense has been getting better and better, especially Coutinho. Don't look at this guy's small size, he actually has very comprehensive abilities."

The CCTV commentator was analyzing the game to the audience in the live broadcast room, and Chelsea's counterattack had already begun.

"Go forward! Go forward quickly!"

"Spread it out directly!"

Inside the small penalty area, Terry and Zouma rushed up at the same time, and together they used their bodies to push Mane and Sturridge away.

They did not have the ball at their feet, and the purpose of this wave of collisions was to clear the defensive players in Courtois's route.

Courtois was seen carrying the ball to the outskirts of the penalty area and throwing the ball with force to Kante who had already run away in front.

"Go back quickly! Go back quickly!"

Lovren was a little nervous and quickly signaled his teammates to retreat to the backcourt.

Chelsea, a well-known Premier League team, is good at passing and controlling the ball and likes to counterattack!

In the camera, Kante did not give the ball away immediately after getting it. The reason is very simple. Several Chelsea forwards, Jiang Yuan and Ibrahimovic, are tasked with defending corner kicks. Now there is only one William in front of Kante's horizontal line. Liverpool is also very smart. Wijnaldum defends close to William and does not give the latter any chance to receive the ball.

Kante protected the ball and avoided Coutinho's pressing. At this time, two people ran out to him.

It was Jiang Yuan who ran out from the left. Jiang Yuan pointed to the right, indicating Kante to pass the ball to Pogba, and Kante did as Jiang Yuan said.

"Pogba takes the ball and makes an arc!"

"Wow! Oh my god, Pogba's short pass went past Lallana and landed directly at Jiang Yuan's feet"

"A brilliant move from Paul Pogba, let's see if Chelsea can take advantage of this counter attack opportunity"

"Jiang Yuan dribbled the ball and broke through. Klein was chasing after him, but he was obviously no match for Jiang Yuan in terms of speed. Jiang Yuan continued to walk to the bottom line, came to the outside of the penalty area, and cut inside!"

"Pass it to Ibrahimovic!"

"Ibrahimovic heads the ball back to Hazard behind him!"

The pace of the game was very fast, and several Chelsea fans closest to Liverpool's goal had covered their mouths.

Hazard took the ball at the top of the arc, raised his right leg and pretended to shoot, but actually walked into the penalty area.

Although he played as an attacking midfielder, Hazard's strong dribbling ability was not weakened much. With the cooperation of Ibrahimovic, Hazard changed the rhythm, shook off Matip, and was less than half a meter away from the small penalty area.

Ibrahimovic pointed at the goal, signaling Hazard to kick the ball directly, but the Belgian superstar's brain judged that shooting was not the best option at this time.

brush!
Hazard stepped on the ball with his left foot and pulled it back directly.

Behind him, Jiang Yuan rushed over, wrapped the ball with the arch of his foot, and shot it directly into the blind corner.

Mignolet dived for the ball but couldn't reach it.

"GOOOOOO-AAAAAAAAA-LLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"Jiang Yuan"

Before the game, everyone knew that this was a key match in the Premier League and it would definitely be very exciting. But no one expected that the goal would come so soon.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, several Chelsea players in the frontcourt played a very fast and smooth cooperation, and Jiang Yuan finally scored the goal.

After scoring the goal, Jiang Yuan did not run to the corner flagpole immediately, but took the initiative to hug Hazard.

Just now, Hazard dribbled the ball into the penalty area and it would have been a better choice to pass the ball to Jiang Yuan who had a wider angle to shoot, but if you have to say, Hazard could have chosen to shoot the ball himself.

"Eden!"

Jiang Yuan and Hazard high-fived and were just about to say some words of thanks when the beast Zuma rushed up from behind and took a running start and jumped onto Jiang Yuan.

"Fuck, Kurt, get off!"

……

[This long shot was almost out of bounds]

[What are you thinking? Premier League players don't shoot wherever they point. They must be deliberately aiming for the blind spot. If you shoot so straight, won't you just give it to the opposing goalkeeper to save?]

[Zhaqiu Wang, wuwu, tears in my eyes, Zaqiu Wang, it’s hard not to support this wave. Hazard, my God! ]

[After the last game, Hazard scolded those who criticized Jiang Yuan online during an interview. This can only be described as true love]

【6】

[Damn, Liverpool is second in the league, which doesn't look that good. But Chelsea's lineup this season is really amazing]

[Shocked, a Premier League player tied his Champions League goal tally this season with a long shot against Liverpool]

【Studying Journalism】

[Chelsea's vision is still good. Kante's 4000 million is really a good deal. I think this guy can reach 8000 million euros if he works hard. Chelsea made a profit this time.]

[Don’t make any money, Leicester City is almost being hollowed out]

Jiang Yuan's goal made the fans in the away team's stands feel a little uncomfortable. If the fans remember correctly, this was the first time Liverpool fell behind since the start of the season.

Liverpool is very strong, but Chelsea is even stronger!

"Sturridge seems to have some problems with his ankle"

"The camera shows Liverpool's substitutes, and striker Origi is changing his clothes. Is this a substitution?"

"Sturridge stood up and gave a thumbs up to the coaching bench. It seems that there should be no problem."

"The game continues, Liverpool's free kick, Lovren stands behind the ball, and the Liverpool players on the field start running forward"

"The long pass was passed and Lallana got the first penalty. Although Liverpool players are generally not tall, their level of heading is still quite high."

"Lallana to Mane!"

"It's Mane again. This young player from Senegal came to Liverpool for a transfer fee of 4100 million euros this summer. Klopp should be attracted by his speed and confrontation ability."

“He’s only 174cm tall, but his success rate in front-court confrontations is very high!”

The CCTV commentator gave Mane a high evaluation, and Mane's performance is indeed worthy of this praise. Except for coming on as a substitute in the first two rounds of the league, Mane's performance in the three games he started for Liverpool so far has been relatively outstanding.

Although there was no goal, it created many good opportunities for Liverpool.

In the camera, Mane dribbled the ball to the wing. Because it was an intensive attack after a free kick, two Chelsea players defended Mane at the same time.

After all, Mane is not Neymar, and the 1V2 in a narrow space is too difficult, so Mane passed the ball back to Lallana after thinking, and the latter took the ball and turned around, passing the ball directly to Coutinho in the middle.

"stick it on!"

On the goal line, Courtois was a little nervous and Zouma reacted quickly. Before Coutinho turned around, Zouma went up and stuck to the Brazilian.

Chelsea had just witnessed Coutinho's long-range shooting ability. No matter what, Coutinho must not be allowed to take this shot.

"Aqui!"

Coutinho weighs less than 70kg and is no match for Zouma in terms of physical confrontation. So after being stuck, Coutinho immediately sought help from his teammates. Henderson rushed over from behind and received Coutinho's pass. Jiang Yuan wanted to rush up and steal the ball at this time, but failed.

"Hey!"

Sturridge on the left suddenly rushed out from the gap between William and Hazard and reached out to Henderson for the ball. The latter pretended to pass the ball to Sturridge, but actually stepped on his heel and passed the ball to Coutinho in front again.

fuck!

Jiang Yuan secretly thought that it was not good. Henderson's pass was very well controlled. Coutinho did not need to turn around at all, and he did not even need to touch the ball to adjust. He just kicked the ball directly.

"GOOOOOO-AAAAAAAAA-LLLLLL!!!"

"And the goaler is...Philippe Coutinho!"

"Wow!"

call--

Jiang Yuan stood there and sighed. He just watched Henderson knock the ball out, so he naturally knew how desperate it was to defend this ball.

Because Sturridge was interfering on the wing, no one thought that Henderson would pass the ball like this. To be honest, even Coutinho, who scored the goal, did not expect Henderson to pass the ball.

All I can say is that Liverpool won this game because of their imagination.

"Hey, it's okay!"

Captain Terry is encouraging his teammates: "Everyone cheer up, there's still early!"

After hearing Terry's words, Jiang Yuan looked up at the big screen hanging above the stadium.

21'NUMX ''
It is indeed still early, and there is really no need for Chelsea players to feel bad.

It’s a 1:1 draw, but the venue of the game is Stamford Bridge, so this advantage is mine!
"Oh my god, this ball was totally unexpected."

"So this is what we said before, why top teams like players with strong creativity. In high-level matches, there is basically no difference in strength between the two sides, and if you really want to score a goal, you need such a flash of inspiration."

"If Henderson had passed the ball to Sturridge just now, Ivanovic would definitely go there at the first opportunity. If he had passed the ball to the wing, he would definitely not have achieved this effect."

"We can see in the camera that Mourinho is already confused. Haha, there is no way. There is really no way to deal with this ball!"

30 minutes into the first half, Leon Brown on the bench was analyzing the game data of both sides.

In terms of ball possession, Chelsea has a slight advantage, but this advantage is not obvious enough, so it is essentially useless.

The Liverpool coaching staff had obviously done some research on Chelsea before the game. Lallana and Klein tried their best to stop Jiang Yuan from getting the ball on the wing. This kind of close defense seemed to be a bit of a surrender to the opponent, but Liverpool was able to produce results.

Based on the analysis of the heat map, Mourinho and Brown came up with a solution.

"Right! Watch the right!"

Because the defense on the left was too dense, Mourinho ordered the players on the field to attack on the right.

The one who decided whether to attack to the left or the right was not Jiang Yuan and William, but Hazard in the attacking midfielder position.

Hazard is now the dealer in Chelsea's frontcourt.

Whichever side Hazard wants to play, the other players have to follow!
Because the strength gap between the two sides was not big, Chelsea played relatively cautiously. Kante, Terry, and Zouma passed the ball back and forth in the backcourt. It seemed that they were delaying time, but in fact they were looking for the next opportunity to attack.

However, Liverpool would definitely not let Chelsea have their way. Several frontcourt players kept pressing, trying to make Chelsea make mistakes in passing the ball.

The fans in front of the screen now have two different mentalities. First, the home team Chelsea fans are nervous when they see their opponents constantly pressing, fearing that if something goes wrong, Mane will really steal the ball.

Then there are the Liverpool fans. Now Liverpool fans are holding an unrealistic idea in their minds, that is, Chelsea made a mistake in the backcourt and directly gave Coutinho a one-on-one opportunity.

Unfortunately, several of Chelsea's backcourt players are veterans who have experienced many battles, especially captain Terry. More than ten years of experience as a professional player is enough to keep him calm at this time.

"Give it to me!"

Terry seemed to have discovered something and reached out to Kante for the ball. Kante knocked the ball back with the arch of his foot, and Mane also ran up.

Terry was very calm, took the initiative to move forward, chose a good position, and made a long pass to William on the right before Mane got close.

It has to be John Terry. William just ran out of an open space in a short time and was found by Terry so quickly.

"Let's go!"

After completing the long pass, Terry signaled the Blues players to move forward quickly, while he stayed in the backcourt to provide protection.

Snapped!
A clear sound rang out, and William showed his talent as a Brazilian. He stretched out his right foot and stopped the ball as if he had glued it. His excellent sense of the ball and his ability to judge the landing point made the fans in the surrounding stands shout continuously.

After successfully grabbing the ball, John hit the ball with the arch of his foot and started his descent. William knew that he did not have the exaggerated impact power of Jiang Yuan, but he could act as Jiang Yuan's wingman and attract defense.

"William, go down to the bottom, but Liverpool's defense is very dense, it will be difficult to break through."

"On the right, Ivanovic comes up and the full-back goes over to the side. This was a tactic Chelsea loved to use last season. Ivanovic just passes the ball!"

"It was to the back post, Jiang Yuan, who stopped the ball with his chest, which was a very good stop."

"Very nervous, Mignolet is very nervous now, let the defensive players go up and defend closely!
"Jiang Yuan, pass the ball to your left foot, take a step, and cut inside!"

"Jiang Yuan cuts in! Matip's reaction is a bit slow"

"Left-foot volley!"

"The ball goes in! A brace! A brace from Jiang Yuan!"

"It's him again! Jiang Yuan stood up when Chelsea was tied and widened the score gap with Liverpool again!"

"Oh, my God!"

It was another shot into the blind spot, but this time the ball was faster than the previous long shot, and it was shot with the left foot.

The commentator was about to say that Jiang Yuan completed the shot with his left foot, but then he thought it seemed a little wrong, because strictly speaking, Jiang Yuan did not have a left foot!
"Well done!"

Mourinho roared loudly, and Jiang Yuan, who heard the noise, ran directly to Chelsea's bench.

He stood with his legs apart and started cutting a watermelon out of thin air. The familiar movement made the fans in the stands scream.

This is... taichi!

"Good!"

Mourinho became interested. The Portuguese man in a suit trotted to Jiang Yuan under the gaze of the camera, squatted down, and started to perform Tai Chi like Jiang Yuan.

But Mourinho's Tai Chi is... really hard to describe.

“xuuu——!!!”

"Xuu, rubbish!!"

There were boos coming from the stands behind the substitutes' bench. These boos were directed at Mourinho. The reason was very simple. Mourinho's Tai Chi was really not standard!

"Oh shit, what's this?"

Pogba was just about to rush over to hug Jiang Yuan, but when he was halfway there he was stunned when he saw Jiang Yuan's actions.

At this time, Zouma came from behind and said mysteriously: "This is Chelsea's way of celebrating!"

After saying that, Zuma took the initiative to shout to attract the photographer's attention. After confirming that the photographer turned the camera around, Zuma began his standard Tai Chi performance.

Comparing Zuma and Jiang Yuan's movements, we cannot say they are similar, we can only say they are exactly the same.

Soon, under Pogba's gaze, the Blues players on the field trotted to the outside of the field one after another and performed Tai Chi one after another.

"oh my god!"

Pogba looked left and right and found that Hazard was not doing Tai Chi either, so he went up to give Hazard a big hug.

But as soon as Pogba took a step forward, Hazard squatted down to tie his shoelaces, and after standing up again, he performed Tai Chi.

It turns out that Hazard was not idle just now, he just had something else to do.

Ibrahimovic, who was at the front, rushed over and grabbed Pogba's yellow-black hair: "Young man, learn from this!"

"Oh, come on!"

Pogba spread his hands. He felt isolated at this moment, but fortunately he was not the only new player in the team.

So Pogba turned his head, and sure enough, Kante was standing there at a loss, just like him.

"N'Golo!"

Pogba put his arm around Kante's shoulders: "Perfect goal, your pass was very well placed"

However, Kante pushed Pogba away: "Well, I still have something to do..."

"what?"

As Pogba watched, Kante ran over and played Tai Chi with Hazard.

Now Pogba finally understood that he was really isolated after all this time. He was the only one in the team who didn't know this thing.

By the way, why does Kante know Tai Chi?
In the distance, Zouma, who had just finished applauding, winked at Pogba. The two were at least 15 meters apart, but Pogba seemed to be able to clearly hear Zouma's laughter.

fuck!
