Chapter 322 Red Winchelsea
“I can run here, too.”
William said that he could help Jiang Yuan bear the pressure of pulling the offensive line. With William's help, there would be no problem.
Mourinho and Brown hit it off and decided to play the second half according to the tactics Jiang Yuan mentioned, but there was a prerequisite for all this.
If Jiang Yuan and William feel muscle discomfort or breathing difficulty on the court, they should request a substitution immediately.
Chelsea's substitutes are not weak, but Mourinho will never use the substitutes if he can use the starters.
"Jiang, can you do it?"
Zouma looked Jiang Yuan up and down, causing Pogba to laugh repeatedly: "Joker, Kurt, you are a joker. You ask others if they can run, don't you know your own level?"
“Paul, fuck you!”
Zouma was a little angry when Pogba suddenly complained about him, and immediately gave his French fellow countryman the middle finger.
"OK OK!"
Mourinho shouted twice, and the entire visiting team's locker room instantly fell silent: "There are still five minutes left, you sit on the bench and pat your muscles. Lyon will tell you what you need to pay attention to in the second half."
Brown opened his notebook and began to emphasize the play style for the second half. From the notebook in Brown's hand, it can be seen that the tactic of "offense compensating defense" mentioned by Jiang Yuan was not proposed by him. This tactic was first used by Mourinho in training.
The reason why the Portuguese coach used this tactic is very simple, that is, Chelsea's attacking line is too strong this season. Against the backdrop of the attacking line, the defense of Pogba, Zouma and others is a bit lacking.
This is the first time Chelsea has used compensatory defensive tactics. It depends on how the Blues players will perform in the second half.
"are you ok?"
Mourinho came over and sat down next to Jiang Yuan, and put his hand on Jiang Yuan's shoulder. Jiang Yuan gave him a thumbs up and said, "Of course, I can run very fast, believe me."
"It's not that you can't run. If you strengthen your attack on the left, Arsenal will definitely strengthen their defense against you. There will be a lot of physical collisions at that time. This is what I am most concerned about."
To be honest, Mourinho believes in Jiang Yuan's endurance level, but does not believe in Jiang Yuan's physical confrontation ability.
Arsenal's defensive players on the right side, Bellerin, Coquelin and Walcott, are of average height, but have an advantage in weight. If they really collide, Jiang Yuan will definitely be the one at a disadvantage.
But Jiang Yuan is quite Buddhist.
"We'll know exactly what's going on when the game starts. I'll try to avoid physical confrontation."
……
"The stage, the stage! This is the second half of the match between Arsenal and Chelsea. For the home team Arsenal, No. 29 Xhaka replaced No. 34 Coquelin. Well, Arsenal replaced him with a taller defensive midfielder. It seems that they want to strengthen the defense in Jiang Yuan's direction!"
"Chelsea have not made any substitutions yet, but we can see that the Blues' new signing Marcos Alonso is warming up. The defender has performed well in the previous games, and fans in front of the TV can also look forward to Alonso's appearance."
Ibrahimovic passed the ball to Kante in the backcourt and the game officially began. In front of the bench, Mourinho looked worried as he watched Xhaka come on the field.
Arsenal's original right defensive midfielder was Coquelin, who was 1 meters tall, but now Wenger has replaced him with Xhaka, who is 76 meters tall.
Of course, Wenger certainly could not guess Chelsea's tactics in the second half. This substitution was a bit of a coincidence and was indeed a challenge for Jiang Yuan.
"Jose!"
Brown, who was sitting at the front of the bench, shouted, motioning Mourinho to sit down: "Do you want to give up this style of play? I feel like Arsene's substitution is targeting Jiang..."
Mourinho put a piece of gum in his mouth: "At the moment, facing a team like Arsenal, we can only have a chance to win if we compensate for our defense"
"so?"
"So my decision is... not to change!"
"Arsenal!"
Boom!
"Arsenal!"
Bang bang bang!
Because the home team is leading by one goal, the overall atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is very good. Some special fan organizations even put up banners in the stands.
【Arsenal has its own players! 】
【We don’t need Jiang! 】
Judging from the words on the banner, Arsenal fans are still upset about Wenger missing out on Jiang Yuan in the summer window last season.
In the eyes of Chelsea fans, Jiang Yuan should come to Chelsea and is destined to be a Chelsea player. But Arsenal fans do not think so, because according to authoritative media reports, Wenger was the first to contact Jiang Yuan, and Mourinho intervened halfway, which was a robber and a mistress.
In the league last season, Chelsea crushed Arsenal at the last minute, causing Gunners fans to be angry but unable to vent.
But this season is different. At the beginning of the season, Arsenal was one place higher than the Blues Chelsea thanks to their goal difference advantage.
So the content of the banner also has its origin.
Jiang Yuan is very strong, but we at Arsenal are a wealthy club. Even if Jiang Yuan doesn't come, Arsenal can still beat Chelsea and win the league championship!
The director deliberately gave a shot to the away team's stands. At this time, the Blues fans in the away team's stands were giving the home team's stands the middle finger. They were obviously not very satisfied with the content of the banner.
But the biggest problem is that Chelsea is now one goal behind.
If you fall behind, you will be scolded!
The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense, and there were constant conflicts among the players on the field.
Snapped!
Jiang Yuan ran to the left sideline and started to accelerate after receiving William's pass.
Walcott's speed was decent, but it was rather awkward compared to Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan put one hand on Walcott's chest, and then devoured the Arsenal striker alive in front of more than 6 people.
It seems reasonable to pass the ball in one's own half, but it is also a helpless method, because Chelsea's backcourt players were all concentrated on the right side, and no one could support Jiang Yuan in the first time.
After shaking off Walcott, Jiang Yuan found an open space in front of him. Ibrahimovic immediately ran over and stood in the empty space, cooperating with Jiang Yuan to make a two-pass.
Just when Jiang Yuan thought he could dribble the ball into the baseline, a figure rushed out from the right and started a close confrontation with Jiang Yuan.
"Ozil! Confront Jiang Yuan on the wing. Jiang Yuan has the advantage in position, so you can try to get rid of him yourself."
"Hey, these two, haha, are getting stubborn on the wing"
“厄齐尔的身高数据是1米80,江远是1米83接近1米84,两个人的体重相差不大,所以在对抗层面上也是不分伯仲的”
"Hey! What does this mean? Ozil is a bit impulsive!"
Zhan Jun in the live broadcast room made a surprised sound. In the picture, Ozil stepped on Jiang Yuan's ankle.
This was indeed a yellow card action, but when Jiang Yuan was trying to find his center of gravity, Ozil gave him another push, knocking the staggering Jiang Yuan to the ground.
"Fuck!"
Jiang Yuan, speaking in his native language, fell to the ground.
"Beep!!"
"Beep beep beep!!!"
“xuuuu——!!!”
The stands were filled with boos, and seeing their star player being treated like this, the Blues fans were furious. Not only the Blues fans, but even some Gunners fans couldn't stand it.
If you want to foul, just foul. What does it mean to push someone after committing a foul?
"Fuck!"
The players on the field reacted quickly. The moment Jiang Yuan fell to the ground, about 15 outfield players rushed out, and in the end everyone except the goalkeeper came out.
"Screw you!"
Ibrahimovic grabbed Ozil by the collar. The 1-meter-tall Ozil was like a toy in Ibrahimovic's hands.
"what are you doing!"
His teammates were tricked, and Bellerin stepped forward to push Ibrahimovic away, but after two steps he realized something was wrong.
No matter how hard Bellerin tried, he just couldn't push Ibrahimovic away.
"What am I doing? I'm fucking your mother!"
Ibrahimovic performed a 1V2 in front of everyone, pushing Ozil away with one hand and then pushing Bellerin away with the other hand.
Ozil and Bellerin are really angry but dare not speak out.
"Beep!"
Oliver showed Ozil a yellow card, but Hazard was a little confused and asked with his hands spread out: "Yellow card? This is a yellow card? Are you sure it is a yellow card? He pushed our player after he fell to the ground."
"I just stepped on it accidentally!"
Ozil began to argue, even saying that Jiang Yuan was not injured and it was a fake fall. To prove his point, Ozil ran over, holding Jiang Yuan's armpits with both hands, trying to pull Jiang Yuan up from the ground.
"Fuck you!"
Zouma and Terry both have bad tempers, especially Terry, who rushed over and pushed Ozil to the ground with both hands.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Hazard and William helped Jiang Yuan leave the battlefield and receive treatment from the team doctor.
The tallest ones in the front were about to fight. Kante was small, so he could only ask Pogba for help: "Paul, please go up and stop the fight."
"wait for me!"
Pogba left a word, bypassed Hazard and ran to the front, about to kick Ozil in the head. Fortunately, Ibrahimovic reacted quickly and knocked Pogba down.
"Fuck, Zlatan, why are you stopping me?"
Pogba rolled on the ground twice and stood up again. Ibrahimovic quickly signaled Terry to hold Pogba back: "Don't let this guy get a card!"
"Fuck, if I eat the cards, I eat the cards!"
Pogba glared at Ozil who was lying on the ground. "Asshole, don't stop me. He stepped on Jiang's ankle and pushed him away. What does that mean? Tell me, what does that mean?"
"Beep!"
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Oliver blew the whistle and showed a yellow card to Terry who pushed him. At the same time, Zouma and Koscielny each received a yellow card for a verbal conflict.
Pogba was luckier. Although he was the most angry player in the team, Ibrahimovic reacted in time and did not get a red card for kicking Ozil.
"Forget it"
The Arsenal players knew they were in the wrong, so they helped Ozil up from the ground and took him away.
As for Chelsea's lineup, Zouma, Ibrahimovic, Pogba, and Ivanovic are all super strong men around 1 meters tall, and Courtois in front of the goal is 9 meters tall.
Without mentioning the game results, if we only look at the fighting, there is really no team in the entire Premier League that can beat Chelsea!
"Jiang, are you okay?" Ibrahimovic squatted down beside the team doctor and looked at Jiang Yuan who was receiving ethyl chloride treatment. The latter looked a little uncomfortable. He had been injured in this position once before, and now he was hit by Ozil again. It must be uncomfortable.
The good news is that Sean put sports bandages on both of Jiang Yuan's feet, so Ozil's step did not cause Jiang Yuan too serious harm, and it will be fine after a little treatment.
[Fuck the guy next door, this idiot Ozil, damn it! ]
[I give up. I used to think Ozil was pretty good through the filter of Arsenal fans, but it turns out he is just an idiot]
[Is it okay to push someone after stepping on their foot?]
[Ibrahimovic shouldn't have stopped Pogba, let Pogba teach Ozil a lesson! ]
[I know this guy is not a good person just by looking at his face]
[Well, although I am an Arsenal fan, I am no longer a fan of Ozil. I am making this clear here, so please don’t scold me…]
[Fuck this, this idiot, does Ozil dare to come to China? ]
[I am an Arsenal fan, I can’t stand it anymore]
[It’s the right ankle again. Xiao Jiang is really suffering.]
[It's okay, Chelsea's medical team is still very capable]
[Invite Ozil to come to our Northeast, someone here wants to play football with him]
【Pure idiot】
[I was shocked. Ozil almost destroyed Chinese football with one foot]
[God damn, you crushed Chinese football with one kick. My Xiao Jiang is still very resilient, okay? There's no need to say that. Did you see the bandage? It's solid! ]
In the top dynamic report of Dongqiudi, "56' Ozil maliciously fouled Jiang Yuan" instantly received 3000 comments.
For this kind of real-time broadcast, 3000 comments is already very exaggerated.
You know, some Premier League games don’t even have 3000 comments!
The comment section is full of enthusiastic Chinese fans. If nothing unexpected happens, Ozil's Twitter and Instagram will be criticized by dozens of accounts with different IP addresses within 10 minutes. Among them, Hong Kong, China and the United States will become the main force in this wall-breaking operation.
"Ok, that's it!"
The linesman released his hand that was blocking Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yuan, who ran back to the court, immediately received applause from the fans.
Ozil is indeed an idiot, but in order to show his magnanimity in front of the fans, Jiang Yuan decided to put this matter aside for the time being.
As I said, competitive sports should be based on results!
Because Jiang Yuan was fouled maliciously and Ozil has not received a red card yet, all the Chelsea players on the field are playing with anger, and the one with the highest fever is naturally Popovich.
"Pogba, dribbles the ball in the middle, accelerates and forces Cazorla to get rid of him, and passes it to William on the right."
"If we observe carefully, we will notice that Chelsea strengthened their attack on the flanks in the second half. For Chelsea, which has always attached great importance to flank attack, this behavior is indeed somewhat unexpected. Because when the flank attack is already strong, if you increase the attack frequency, the benefits you get are not proportional to the effort you put in."
"Of course, I think Mourinho should have his considerations, Coach Zhan, what do you think?"
"Hmm... I found a very strange problem, which may not have been noticed by most fans. When Jiang Yuan and William's ball possession rate increased, Arsenal's attack frequency increased, but the depth was obviously reduced a lot."
"Yes, then what Mourinho meant by this should be to use offense as defense, and to prevent Arsenal from getting the opportunity to attack from deep through the dribbling of the front players. We can also notice that, you see, it is William who has the ball, and Kante and Pogba are all moving to the right."
"William, let's look at William!"
In the shot, William used an unexpected Marseille turn to get rid of Cazorla and Monreal at the same time, and then sent a low cross to the middle.
After getting the ball, Hazard immediately looked for Jiang Yuan. The two were in sync in an instant. Hazard made a straight pass to the left bottom line, and Jiang Yuan who rushed up from behind successfully got the ball.
"Go up, stick to it!"
Seeing Jiang Yuan dribbling the ball, goalkeeper Cech felt a little nervous. Under the camera's gaze, Jiang Yuan stepped on his right foot with his left foot, and the extremely fast frequency of his feet made Bellerin a little dazzled.
After approaching the penalty area, Azpilicueta ran to the back and served as Jiang Yuan's conservative passing point, while Hazard and Ozil stood at the top of the arc.
Jiang Yuan now has three options. The first is to pass the ball back to Azpilicueta, and then Azpilicueta will pass the ball to the middle. This option is safer, but because there are many people in the Arsenal penalty area, the probability of Ibrahimovic and Pogba getting a header is not very high.
The second option is to make an inverted triangle pass, allowing Hazard to find an opportunity to shoot from long range, but because Ozil also stood in position, this option can be ruled out directly.
Then there is only one last option left.
Jiang Yuan swung his right leg back and pretended to shoot, successfully tricking Bellerin into stretching his foot. In fact, Jiang Yuan passed the ball to his left foot, and finally seized the gap between Bellerin and the left post to complete a violent shot.
With a "duang" sound, the ball went straight into the far corner of the goal.
“GOOOOOOO—AAAAAAAAA—LLLLLLLLL!!!!”
"It's tied! Chelsea tied the score thanks to Jiang Yuan's powerful shot after cutting inside from the bottom line!"
"Oh my god, Chelsea turned the situation around with their new tactics!"
Roar--! ! !
Jiang Yuan roared, bypassed Bellerin and Xhaka, and ran straight to the corner flagpole. Finally, Hazard and he slid to his knees together.
“62' a goal from Yuan Jiang”
"Now it's 1:1"
As the fans were excited, there were sudden movements in the upper left corner of CCTV's live broadcast room.
【Yellow Card for Number 5 K.Zouma】
【Yellow Card for Number 6 P.Pogba】
No. 5 Zouma and No. 6 Pogba received yellow cards in succession, and a long string of greetings from Chinese fans floated over the heads of the live broadcast room.
With doubts, the director gave a replay of the foul.
Just after Jiang Yuan scored the goal, Pogba deliberately made a detour, "accidentally" knocked down Ozil, and finally ran towards Jiang Yuan to celebrate.
Zouma was originally going to run directly towards Jiang Yuan, but when he saw Pogba do that, he immediately ran back.
At this time, Ozil just stood up from the ground, but was immediately knocked down by Zouma.
Afterwards, Zouma even said "sorry" to Ozil.
It can be seen that both of them were careless.
"Fuck! what's this!?"
"Why!?"
Ozil sat on the ground and spread his hands to the referee, but no one else on the field paid any attention to him except Oliver, who showed a yellow card to Pogba and Zouma.
"Perfect!"
Ibrahimovic directly stuffed Jiang Yuan's head into his arms, and the sudden force almost broke Jiang Yuan's neck.
If Ibrahimovic hadn't had a yellow card, he would have definitely gone up to attack Ozil.
It’s a pity that I probably have to wait until the next round to have another chance.
Jiang Yuan's sudden violent goal gave Mourinho new hope. In the more than 20 minutes of the second half, the Blues players tested a truth through practice, that is, against Arsenal, they had to use offense to compensate for defense.
The reason is very simple, Chelsea's two wingers have strong dribbling ability, while Arsenal's wingers generally do not run fast!
"come on! Come on!"
Ibrahimovic applauded and encouraged his teammates: "Come on, we can still score, pass the ball to me more!"
In the 68th minute, Wenger made his second substitution, replacing Cazorla with Chamberlain, just like at the beginning of the second half, it was also a positional adjustment at the defensive midfielder position.
It is indeed a good choice to use Chamberlain, who has Jamaican ancestry, to counter William, who has excellent dribbling skills.
The left side is defended, but what about the right side?
"Beautiful! Kante, another Kante's steal in the backcourt. Ozil's foul seems to have made the current Chelsea players a little angry"
"Kante, find Jiang Yuan first. Pogba is running up to ask for the ball. Give it to Hazard."
"Hazard and Ibrahimovic passed the ball continuously, and finally Hazard got rid of Chamberlain and came to the front of the penalty area"
"Just take a long shot!"
"Wow! Chelsea is so fierce!"
"Although Hazard's long-range shot was a high shot, it must be said that Chelsea's form in recent minutes is really good"
"The Arsenal players on the field are very nervous now, Arsene Wenger is very nervous!"
In the camera, the Arsenal fans closest to the bench folded their hands across their chests, and their expressions were as serious as they could be.
Arsenal, playing at home, certainly did not want to lose this game, but now it seems that Arsenal, who was more favored before the game, has become the weaker side.
I have to say that Chelsea in red-warm mode is really good.
"Very good, good pass, run up, run up! Good ball!"
"Hey, it's okay!"
Mourinho rarely stopped praising the players on the field, which made Brown laugh.
Several Chelsea players, such as Pogba and Hazard in the midfield, are extremely talented, but they perform poorly from time to time.
Ozil's step did not hurt Jiang Yuan, but instead brought out the adrenaline of Pogba and Hazard.
Time passed quickly and Arsenal conceded many goals in a short period of time. However, as a Premier League giant, the Gunners players' momentum was not affected too much.
Pogba easily loses his defense when he gets excited. Now is Arsenal's best chance to attack!
"Ozil walked in front by himself, William returned to defend, and together with Pogba, they pushed Ozil away!"
"Two people double-teaming, there's really no way to deal with this"
"Pogba passed the ball back to Terry, and the Chelsea captain made a long pass directly to Ibrahimovic who was in the front"
"Ibrahimovic and Koscielny are competing for a header. Koscielny is tall, but he is still a little behind Ibrahimovic."
"Ibrahimovic, head the ball to Jiang Yuan on the left"
"Jiang Yuan, it's Jiang Yuan again!"
