Chapter 320 Let It Go (Monthly Ticket Plus)

The day after the game, Chelsea players were enjoying a day off and Terry invited Jiang Yuan to his house for a pool party, but Jiang Yuan refused.

The reason is very simple. In the past 8 days, Jiang Yuan has participated in 3 high-intensity games with a total game time of 265 minutes. Even with the help of the Blues' professional physiotherapists, Jiang Yuan still feels an unprecedented fatigue.

This fatigue was both physical and psychological. He had originally wanted to have a meal with his family and chat with them. As luck would have it, Jiang Shengping and Dong Huiqing took Jiang Hao on a trip to Switzerland, leaving only Jiang Yuan and a few servants in the huge luxury villa.

Of course, Karimova was there too.

At noon, two people were lying on beach chairs. It was a rare sunny day in London today. Although the sun was not strong, it was still worth sunbathing.

Karimova lay on her side, holding her head with one hand, her big eyes blinking: "Well... Jiang, you look so tired"

call--

Jiang Yuan exhaled, held the back of his head with both hands, and lay flat on the chair: "Of course I am tired. Generally speaking, two games in five days is the limit."

Jiang Yuan turned around and made a "3" gesture to Karimova: "I played 8 games in 3 days, and I have to go back to training tomorrow."

It was true, but Mourinho was not a fool. If Jiang Yuan guessed correctly, tomorrow's training session would be relatively simple. At least, there would probably be no running involved.

"correct!"

Jiang Yuan stood up, took two watermelon popsicles from the refrigerator, put one in his mouth, and then handed one to Karimova.

Seeing what Jiang Yuan handed over, Karimova leaned her head forward. Jiang Yuan originally thought that Karimova was going to take the popsicle with her mouth, but he didn't expect that Karimova's target was not the watermelon popsicle at all, but Jiang Yuan's fingers.

"Um"

Karimova moved her tongue around, looked into Jiang Yuan's eyes with an expression of enjoyment. Jiang Yuan could even feel Karimova's tongue rolling rhythmically around his fingers.

About 5 seconds later, Karimova opened her mouth slightly, kissed Jiang Yuan's fingertips again, and finally slowly retreated with two sticky strings of saliva.

Jiang Yuan took the popsicle out of his mouth and put it into the wine glass: "Well, Alina, what I mean is, I want to give you this popsicle, not my finger..."

Karimova stuck out her tongue: "I don't like this"

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes and pretended that he didn't understand anything: "What do you like to eat? There are a lot of things in the refrigerator. If you don't like anything in the refrigerator, I can help call Aunt Mary and ask her to drive out to buy it."

Karimova turned sideways and sat up from the recliner: "It is you who needs to rest today, not me. You should not consider what I like, but what you like."

Karimeva opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue. "So...what would you like me to have for lunch today?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and was about to reach out to hug Karimova, but she dodged him: "Wait, wait, I need to change my shoes."

Karimova stood up, kissed Jiang Yuan on the cheek, and walked straight to the room on the second floor.

Change a pair of shoes?
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he noticed that both of them were wearing slippers.

However, what is the direct relationship between slippers and lunch?
With doubts in his mind, Jiang Yuan came to Karimova's room.

dong dong!

"Elena, can I come in please?"

"Of course!"

When you push the door open, the first thing you see is Karimova sitting on a chair, but at this time Karimova has changed into a pair of light white high heels, which perfectly match her white top.

Karimova noticed Jiang Yuan's expression and couldn't help laughing: "Lunch should be more formal, especially when you are with important people, like now."

Jiang Yuan walked over and stood next to Karimova: "But I feel that you look more like a foreign language teacher preparing for class than having lunch."

"Foreign language teacher?"

Karimova blinked her big eyes and reached into her Hermès purse to take out a signature pen. Because Jiang Yuan often met fans on the road, Karimova specially prepared some signature pens, and this pen was used to sign for Jiang Yuan.

"Come on, classmate, find a seat and sit down."

Karimova pointed to the acrylic bench beside her and motioned Jiang Yuan to sit on it. The latter obediently said "Hello, teacher" and then sat down on the chair.

Karimova took out a piece of paper and wrote some simple math formulas on it: "Classmate...you only got a C- in the class test last week. The teacher is very disappointed in you."

"Sorry……"

There was a hint of guilt in Jiang Yuan's eyes, but Karimova immediately said that it didn't matter.

If bad students can calm down and study hard, they can still get good grades in the class test next month.

"But teacher, I really can't do this question"

Jiang Yuan touched his nose, and Karimova moved closer to him. Jiang Yuan couldn't help but glance at his teacher's proud figure.

"Student, where are you looking?"

Karimova glared at Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yuan apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, teacher, I was distracted just now"

"You won't be able to get good grades in the exam if you're not paying attention like this. Well, let's put it this way..."

Karimova sat on the table, reached out to touch Jiang Yuan's hand, and guided Jiang Yuan to write on the inside of her thigh.

Content: JIANG
"Teacher, what do these words mean?"

Jiang Yuan showed a puzzled look, but Karimova motioned Jiang Yuan not to speak, then she put one of her high-heeled feet on the table and pointed at her calf: "Student, the teacher has already told you how to write the first part, and you have to rely on yourself for the rest. If you can do it, you can get a reward from the teacher, but if you can't, the teacher will punish you!"

……

As expected, the training course on the second day was relatively simple. In the morning, I mainly stayed in the strength room and did some core exercises.

The training was fully under the charge of physical coach Rozovic. Jiang Yuan stepped on a rubber hemisphere as required. Rozovic took out two blue elastic bands and put them on Jiang Yuan's waist and right thigh respectively, and the other end was put on a fixed object to give Jiang Yuan an effective pulling force.

This elastic band is made by TheraBand, and the blue one has a maximum resistance of 100 pounds.

Rozovic slowly stepped back, observed carefully and said, "OK, now lift your left leg up, a little bit at a time, tighten your core and don't fall down!"

"hiss--"

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and lifted his left leg as required. The tension of the elastic band was nothing to him, but the moment he lifted his left leg, Jiang Yuan felt it was quite strenuous.

Fortunately, Jiang Yuan had done this kind of training many times last season, so it was still an acceptable level for him. After the left leg was fully raised, Rozovic asked Jiang Yuan to lower his center of gravity, that is, squat.

Single-leg squats with resistance are more difficult.

Before doing this movement, Jiang Yuan took a breath, and then began to control his right leg to bend.

The whole movement is similar to Ip Man squat, but Jiang Yuan does not need to squat as low as Ip Man, he only needs to do about half of it.

After holding for 10 seconds, Rozovic immediately asked Jiang Yuan to control his body and fall backwards, using his core strength to actively resist the pulling force of the elastic band.

"Fuck!"

Jiang Yuan found it a bit strenuous because there were elastic bands on his waist and thighs, and because the elastic bands on the legs were pulled over a longer distance, the resistance he had to withstand was also greater.

"Ok, hold on, hold on!"

Rozovic reached out to touch Jiang Yuan's right knee: "Control it, don't shake your right leg."

"Ok ok, that's it!"

call!
Jiang Yuan stood up and was instantly pulled over by the elastic band, crashing his head onto the jump box.

Zuma on the side was also undergoing the same training, but the elastic band he used was black, and he maintained the single-leg squat for more than 30 seconds, and even now he has not fallen down. Looking at Jiang Yuan lying on the jump box and gasping for breath, Zuma couldn't help but sneer: "Haha, rubbish!"

Damn it?

Hearing Zuma's ridicule, Jiang Yuan turned around and gave the French defender a middle finger, then looked at Rozovic: "Is my core strength very poor?"

Rozovic was holding a notebook, probably recording Jiang Yuan's training data: "For your age, your core strength is already very good..."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, but Rozovic hadn't finished speaking yet: "But from the perspective of the Premier League level, your core strength is still a little lacking."

"That's not right. My success rate in physical confrontation is still relatively high, right?"

Jiang Yuan spread his hands. If the opposing defender's height did not exceed 1 meters, Jiang Yuan's success rate in the confrontation would still be relatively high. It should not be as embarrassing as Rozovic said.

Snapped!
Rozovic closed the notebook and threw it aside. "This is because your quadriceps are very explosive. Have you noticed that the confrontations you won were all instant collisions, not long-term close defense like Kurt?"

Rozovic came over and hit Jiang Yuan on the thigh: "You have great explosive power when you rush out, which makes up for the lack of core strength, and your body coordination is very good. When you collide, you use all your strength, so of course you won't lose."

"Well"

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath: "Am I so powerful?"

"Hey! I'm not complimenting you!"

Rozovic laughed: "Your core strength is too average, this is the crux of the topic, I need to strengthen your core strength!"

"Take a break, and then do the second set after 2 minutes. Do the same movements, but add 15 seconds to the duration in between."

"You practice first, I'll go check on Paul and N'Golo"

The quality training was carried out in an orderly manner under the guidance of Rozovic. At the same time in the office, Mourinho and Brown were processing the previous game data.

As one of the Premier League's giants, Chelsea attaches great importance to the collection of game data. Running distance, sprint distance, successful confrontation number, these things are just for fun in the eyes of fans, and by the way, they can analyze who is the war criminal in this game.

In fact, what many fans don’t know is that these running and confrontation data will affect the team’s subsequent training arrangements.

For example, in the last match against Liverpool, Jiang Yuan played for 87 minutes and ran 8.9 km. Although he scored 3 goals, it can be analyzed from this running distance that Jiang Yuan must not be allowed to participate in high-intensity competitions in the next few days.

However, in the data analysis, Brown found that not only Jiang Yuan, but also Ibrahimovic and Azpilicueta's conditions had declined to varying degrees.

A player's physical decline is not a big deal. They can recover with proper massage and rest.

But the most fatal problem now is that Chelsea has a game against Leicester City on the 20th.

Cup match, and there is another league match against Arsenal on the 24th!

How can you play this!
"We can let Eden start, and other tired players come on the bench, and then see whether they can play or not in the end."

Brown gave his advice, saying that Hazard had rested for a game before, so there wouldn't be any major problems with his physical condition now.

However, Mourinho shook his head at Brown's suggestion: "Although Leicester City has been sold out, its strength is still there. Letting Eden play with half of the substitutes will not give us much chance of winning. If we want to win, Zlatan and Jiang must go up at the beginning of the second half."

Mourinho is right. Considering the strength of Leicester City, if they want to beat their opponents with the substitute lineup, the main players must not be on the field for less than 40 minutes.

This is not to say that Chelsea's substitutes are bad, but Leicester City under Ranieri is in hot form after finishing second in the league last season and is not easy to deal with.

“Then we have no other choice.”

Brown frowned: "I totally don't support letting Jiang and Zlatan start in the game against Leicester City. We can't afford this risk"

There is nothing wrong with what Brown said. Jiang Yuan and Ibrahimovic play in irreplaceable positions. If they get injured while competing for a League Cup, Chelsea will definitely lose everything!
Hey……

Mourinho smacked his lips, sorted out the information on the table, and finally looked at Brown in front of him: "EPL Cup, how about forgetting it?"

"Wow?"

Brown exclaimed, and then he felt that there was some truth in it. In a competition like the English League Cup, if you don't win the championship, you will lose a lot. It would be better to give up the game before the knockout stage starts and concentrate on the league and the Champions League.

After all, this season, Chelsea has the league + Champions League + Carabao Cup + FA Cup. Considering the depth of Chelsea's bench, it is completely impossible for them to compete for the championship on four fronts.

"So, Leon, what do you think?"

Mourinho looked up at Brown, who knew that Mourinho's question was just symbolic and he already had the answer in his mind.

Brown nodded in agreement.

"Um"

Mourinho stood up: "I need to make a call to Mr. Roman"

PS: Dear bosses, I beg you to vote for me!
