Chapter 339 Come on, man!
"Okay, the second half of the game begins. We can see that the visiting team Manchester United made a simple substitution, Carrick replaced Mata!"

"Chelsea now has a two-goal lead, and Rangnick must do something at this time..."

As He Wei said, Manchester United is now the lagging side and must take the initiative to seek change. Otherwise, when Chelsea takes advantage of their lead and gradually controls the situation, Manchester United will have no chance by then.

Just after the start of the second half, the Red Devils players implemented Rangnick's tactics in the locker room to the end. Martial suddenly accelerated in the frontcourt and cooperated with Rashford on the side, successfully forcing Kante to make a mistake in the backcourt, and finally Rashford got the ball.

As soon as he took control of the ball, Rashford passed the ball with the instep of his foot and sent a straight pass to Martial in front of him. Because Pogba did not press forward, Rashford's straight pass without confrontation was very accurate. Martial sprinted at full speed and when he was about to reach the position, he stretched out his right foot forward and successfully blocked the ball with the outside of his foot.

"shit!"

William, who was standing in front, felt something was wrong and went up to face Carrick one-on-one, while signaling his teammates to return to defense. Hazard reacted quickly. The moment he saw Martial successfully protect the ball, the Belgian immediately stuck to Lingard who was about to go over the ball to prevent Martial from transferring the ball to the weak side.

Having lost the opportunity for lateral movement, Martial found a better way. He looked left and right, confirmed that there were no Chelsea defenders around him, then he hooked the ball with the outside of his foot and made a long pass to the right baseline.

"Martial's long pass was very accurate and went to Rashford in front of him."

"Wow! Rashford stopped the ball beautifully, but Azpilicueta reacted quickly. Before Rashford stopped the ball, Azpilicueta had already positioned himself at the bottom line."

"Rashford, bicycle kick, tried to dribble past the defense, failed, passed the ball back to Valencia behind him"

"Valencia suddenly dribbled the ball forward, and the Chelsea players were a little slow to react. Valencia came to the penalty area! A good chance to shoot, Valencia can try a shot from the outside"

"Playing a wall pass with Rashford, Valencia... Valencia shakes off Zouma! Opportunity to face the goalkeeper directly, Valencia, you can shoot!"

"Valencia, Valencia still didn't choose to shoot, but passed the ball back to Rashford behind him!"

"Rashford, instep shot..."

"The ball is in!"

“GOOOOOOO—AAAAAAAAA—LLLLLLLL!!!”

"Marcus Rashford!"

"Manchester United captain Valencia showed us his selflessness. Facing the goalkeeper in the small penalty area, he did not choose to shoot, but passed the ball back to the young player Rashford who was in a better position. Manchester United, who played away, successfully scored a goal!"

The entire camera at Stamford Bridge was focused on Manchester United's No. 19. The 18-year-old Rashford, wearing a jersey with a Chevrolet advertisement on the chest, excitedly rushed to the outside of the court, and finally vented his excitement with a standard and smooth kneeling slide.

"Dear audience, here is some data for you to synchronize."

In the CCTV live broadcast room, He Wei slowly said: "In the 9th round of this Premier League, Rashford started 7 games and scored 2 goals. He is the second most goalscorer among the U20 players in the Premier League. The only one ahead of him is Jiang Yuan, who currently has 7 goals."

"Manchester United fans in front of the screen must be very excited. Last season we witnessed the rise of Chelsea's genius in the Premier League, and this season's attention is on Rashford. It is worth mentioning that this English teenager is a real product of Manchester United's youth training."

The value of Rashford, who is a Manchester United youth player and now a Manchester United starter, is beyond words. With Rashford's performance this season and the title of "Manchester United youth player", his value is bound to be high.

If Rashford can maintain his current form for two seasons, his value will reach at least 2 million euros. By then, he will be promoted from "Manchester United youth training" to "Manchester United prince", and then he will be a real superstar.

Jiang Yuan put his hands on his waist, looking at the Manchester United fans celebrating in the distance, the sweat on his forehead dripping to the ground bit by bit.

Manchester United's attack just now really made Chelsea lose their temper. Chelsea's forwards can also complete Rashford's imaginative runs, but the problem is that Chelsea does not have any players who can be as selfless as Valencia.

He chose to pass back even when he had a one-on-one chance. It can only be said that captain Valencia really cares about Manchester United!

“Fuck, fuck, fuck!”

Pogba walked back to the front court angrily, turning his body sideways to avoid seeing the Manchester United players celebrating.

Jiang Yuan high-fived Pogba who was walking over: "We are still leading, don't be nervous"

“That’s not what I’m talking about.”

Pogba pointed at the referee Atkinson at the far end: "That referee is a moron. Anthony committed an offensive foul. He got the ball by bumping into me. Fuck! Fuck!"

It was obvious that Pogba was really angry, and Jiang Yuan could do nothing but pat the Frenchman on the back, indicating that there was still plenty of time and it wasn't a big problem.

Rangnick's "total pressing" worked and successfully helped the team to equalize the score. The Chelsea coaching staff responded immediately and the team's new signing Marcos Alonso replaced Fabregas.

Fabregas looked a little unhappy when he left the field. He had almost no shots in the first half. He had planned to perform well in the second half, but Mourinho did not give him that opportunity.

"Ceske"

Mourinho walked over and extended his hand to Fabregas, but the Spaniard pretended not to see it and walked straight to the bench.

"..."

Mourinho looked back at Fabregas, then looked at Lyon Brown in the front row. The two Chelsea coaches looked at each other with intriguing expressions.

The big screen hanging at the top of Stamford Bridge shows the current time.

65'NUMX ''
If the extra time is included, there are about 27 minutes left, and Manchester United is still one goal behind. It can only be said that there is really not much time left for the Manchester Red Devils.

However, after thoroughly implementing the pressing tactics, Manchester United's attack was obviously much sharper. Only 10 minutes after Rashford's goal, the young player found another chance on the wing, but the young man was too focused on showing off. If Rashford chose to pass the ball instead of dribbling through himself, Manchester United might have equalized the score by now.

"oh my god!"

Rangnick held his head in his hands. It was obvious that the German coach was very sorry about Manchester United's attack. If Manchester United could really draw with defending champion Chelsea away from home, at least before the winter transfer window, his position as head coach would be very stable. It's a pity that Rashford has a talent that overflows the screen, but he doesn't have enough experience to help the team.

But Chelsea is not a team that can be easily dealt with. If Manchester United wastes the opportunity, Chelsea will naturally seize the opportunity.

In the 74th minute, Hazard ran to the left to help Jiang Yuan get the ball, while the latter ran to the middle.

Hazard was also awesome. After getting the ball, he did not run to the baseline as the fans imagined. Instead, he stepped forward with his left foot and directly protected the ball with his calf.

Although their physical strength is average, the Belgians just like this kind of advancing defense that uses their bodies to protect the ball. It is dangerous, but efficient.

Hazard's protection of the ball made Carrick, who was running up, dare not move at all. Hazard then passed the ball to Pogba, who then passed it to Kante who was in a better position in front.

Kante took the initiative to run over to receive the ball, interrupting Lingard's attempt to disrupt it. Before receiving the ball, Kante also took the initiative to look ahead and made a long pass after confirming that the position was good.

Because of his short height, Kante's vision is destined to be not as exaggerated as Pogba. The Frenchman was looking for Ibrahimovic in the penalty area. Jiang Yuan saw what Kante was thinking and ran behind Ibrahimovic.

"Give it to me, give it back to me!"

Ibrahimovic is a veteran after all, and he must be much calmer than Costa when facing this situation. Facing Jiang Yuan's request for the ball, the Swede blocked Smalling's position and headed the ball to Jiang Yuan behind him.

"!!!"

Smalling felt something was wrong, so he quickly gave up Ibrahimovic and ran up to block Jiang Yuan.

Because of Smalling's sudden move forward, Jiang Yuan's original idea of ​​shooting directly was doomed to fail. But it didn't matter. Jiang Yuan passed the ball with his right foot and then his left foot, avoiding Smalling and suddenly walked into the penalty area. Ibrahimovic was very smart. At this time, he helped Jiang Yuan stop Valencia who was running over, in order to give Jiang Yuan as much shooting space as possible.

Bailly and Blind came over to block at the same time, Jiang Yuan paused on the spot, as if the machine suddenly got stuck. After Bailly and Blind both slid to the ground, Jiang Yuan shot directly into the goal defended by De Gea.

"GOOOOOO-AAAAAAAAA-LLLLLLLL!!!"

"Jiang Yuan, it's Jiang Yuan again!"

"Oh my god, a brace, a brace against Manchester United, Jiang Yuan successfully expanded the score"

De Gea sat on the goal line, and Jiang Yuan's shot was too close to the goal, giving the Spanish goalkeeper no time to react. To save this kind of ball, you can only rely on luck, but unfortunately De Gea did not get God's favor today, and his luck was still a lot worse.

"Jiang!"

"Top! Top sorcer!"

Amid the cheers, Jiang Yuan came to the sidelines to interact with the fans, and Mourinho also celebrated with Brown on the bench. Rangnick did not indulge in sadness at this time, and took the opportunity of the opponent's celebration to call several forwards over, preparing to make some competitive adjustments to the tactics to see if there was a chance to find some scenes in the last 10 minutes.

"Intensify it, intensify it! Your pressing is completely scattered, our attack line and defense line must be together, you..."

The players formed a small circle to listen to Rangnick explaining tactics. Rashford was squeezed outside. Looking at Jiang Yuan who was walking back to the field, his eyes revealed obvious envy.

When I was 18, I started in 9 games for Manchester United and scored 2 goals.

At the age of 18, he is the top scorer in the Premier League and the best U9000 in the Champions League at 23 million.

In Rashford's boyhood fantasy, he should be the prince of Old Trafford, scoring two goals in a row to help the team equalize with Chelsea, but the facts gave him a heavy blow.

Rashford is talented, even very talented, but there are obviously guys of his age who are more talented than him.

Jiang Yuan noticed Rashford looking at him, so he walked over and touched the head of the young player of the same age: "Come on, buddy!"

Rashford put his hand to his heart and lowered his head slightly. He originally thought that he was invincible at the age of 18, but now it seems that he still has goals to pursue.

The reporters at the scene had sharp eyes and immediately noticed Jiang Yuan touching Rashford's head, and the director immediately put the scene on camera.

[Um... Xiao Jiang has accepted another apprentice? Before, it was the French Ninja Turtle, and now it's Rashford. Hey, what was the name of the French Ninja Turtle? Does anyone remember it?]

[It seems to be something like Ba Pei. I think that guy has good talent, but he is still a little bit worse than Rashford. The Ninja Turtles are not mutated enough, and his body is a little soft]

[Apprentice +1]

[It has to be Jiang Yuan. Rashford probably thought he could be the savior, but Jiang Yuan kicked him back to reality... It's a pity that Manchester United actually played quite well, but they really have no way to deal with Chelsea. Chelsea's lineup is too exaggerated.]

[I feel like when Xiao Jiang's net worth breaks 1 million in January, we can look forward to it... He will be the first Chinese football player to be worth over million, just thinking about it is awesome]

[It doesn’t matter whether it breaks 100 million or not, Xiao Jiang has already made history, this is really awesome]

[Everyone's attention is on Jiang Yuan and Hazard, but if you ask me, the most crucial player in this game is Pogba. Pogba is in great form today.]

[Chelsea are all talented, everyone is using their talent to play. The Sun says every day that Chelsea drinks when they win. In two days, Jiang Yuan, Hazard and Pogba will take turns to put on a show. I just want to ask what kind of wine Chelsea drinks to be so awesome]

[This won't work. Chelsea must find a tactic that suits them. Pogba and Hazard must both start, but they are incompatible. Mourinho has to find a way, otherwise the 1 million will be wasted. If the coordination is not good, Chelsea's ceiling will not be high.]

The fans of Dongqiudi launched a heated discussion. Now that the league has entered the 9th round, many of them have also seen the problems of these Chelsea players.

Each one is more talented than the other, but they all tend to play badly. Jiang Yuan was originally very competitive, but in this team environment, even Jiang Yuan and Ibrahimovic have joined in. If this continues, it will be difficult for this super Chelsea to achieve anything.

Then there are Pogba and Hazard. These two can play very smooth cooperation with Jiang Yuan, but the strange thing is that there is no linkage between Pogba and Hazard.

This can be said to be Chelsea's most important problem at the moment. If there is no connection between Pogba and Hazard, Chelsea's advancement in the middle will not be very fast.

In the last few minutes, Rangnick directed Manchester United players to launch a counterattack against Chelsea. Lingard made a series of fancy moves, but Matic didn't show him any mercy. He pushed the Englishman out of the sideline with his arm.

“Beep, beep, beep—!!!!”

The referee blew the whistle three times, and Chelsea finally defeated the visiting team Manchester United with a score of 3:1. Jiang Yuan, with a record of 9 goals in 8 games, was 3 goals ahead of Kane and remained at the top of the league's scorer list.

After the game, Rashford pursed his thick lips and remained silent. Valencia saw Rashford like this and came over to comfort him: "Marcus, it's okay, losing to Chelsea is acceptable, and our current ranking is not bad"

Valencia thought Rashford was unhappy because of the loss, but he obviously did not personally feel what Rashford was thinking.

This was the second time Rashford and Jiang Yuan had played against each other. Last time Rashford played as a left winger, this time he played as a right winger, and both times he played against Jiang Yuan. After these two encounters, Rashford had a direct feeling of Jiang Yuan's terror.

In terms of running, Rashford is not inferior to Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan's ability to suddenly accelerate and seize opportunities in front of the goal is really exaggerated. He can be said to be a standard template striker.

After Mourinho finished speaking in the locker room, Jiang Yuan walked out of the player tunnel again. As the best player of the game, Jiang Yuan needed to be interviewed by Sky Sports reporters at Stamford Bridge.

The first question from the reporter was how Jiang Yuan felt about scoring a hat trick against a strong team like Manchester United. When facing the best player, the first question from the reporter is basically the same, and Jiang Yuan has been interviewed so many times that he knows some of the tricks.

There is a template for this type of question. First, you need to express your excitement, then explain that your opponent is unlucky, and finally praise your teammates and coaches. Once these three elements are complete, there will basically be no problem.

Just like this today.

"Well... I'm very excited, very excited, of course, because in my heart Manchester United has always been a very strong team. Getting 3 points from them is something worth celebrating for me. Of course, I know there's an element of luck involved. Manchester United often pressed our backcourt defense in this game. Their offensive and defensive lines were very forward. You can see that my two goals were both lucky. The opponent made a mistake, and then my teammates seized the opportunity. Paul and Zlatan sent me very beautiful passes."

"Rashford, according to our understanding, there is only a six-month age difference between you and Rashford. What is your evaluation of Rashford?"

"Marcus..."

Jiang Yuan lowered his head and thought carefully for a while: "He has outstanding talent, I believe he has a future"

"Excellent talent, how does it compare to you?"

The reporter asked a very sharp question, which made Jiang Yuan smile. After thinking about it, he asked a counter-question: "What do you think?"

"Ha ha!"

……

Chelsea defeated Manchester United at home and took all three points, which was the result everyone expected before the game. Although Manchester United's form has improved this season, it is obviously still far behind if it comes to a head-on confrontation with Chelsea.

What is surprising is that in the 9th round, except Chelsea and Liverpool, a total of 3 teams in the top all ended in a draw.

伯恩茅斯0：0热刺、阿森纳0：0米德尔斯堡，还有一个1：1战平南安普顿的曼城，一翻下来，切尔西的积分排名直接窜到第一。

The sudden happiness made the Blues fans unable to react for a while. Of course, the members of Chelsea club were equally excited. The Blues have never achieved the feat of winning three consecutive league titles in history. This season is Chelsea's best chance to realize their dream.

Mourinho knows the nature of these Chelsea players very well. After the 24th round of the Premier League ended on the 9th London time, on the morning of the 25th, Mourinho gave up training and held a meeting with the players that lasted for 2 and a half hours.

"Being first now doesn't mean we will be first after the season ends"

Mourinho said that Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal are all very strong teams, but sometimes strength alone is not enough in football. Tottenham was unlucky and Kane missed the penalty kick. Otherwise, Tottenham would not be at the top of the list now.

Then there is the issue of the upcoming schedule. Because Chelsea let Leicester City win in the Carabao Cup, their only games left are the league, the Champions League, and the FA Cup, which starts in January next year.

It may seem like there aren't many games, but the charm of the Premier League lies in its league schedule. Sometimes the interval between two games is as long as 10 days, and sometimes two games are played in five days.

During the meeting, Mourinho told the players about the next training plan.

The basic training content remains the same. If the schedule is easy, Mourinho is likely to take half a day to train the players' endurance.

As soon as the word "endurance" was heard, there was a wailing in the conference room, but Mourinho pretended he heard nothing.

As the Portuguese say, if you give up endurance training because it's hard, you might as well not play professionally.

"Okay, that's it for the morning, go and have a rest."

Mourinho moved the tactical board aside and waved his hand to signal everyone to get out. Jiang Yuan stood up and prepared to leave, and Hazard behind him pulled his clothes.

Ok?
Jiang Yuan turned his head and looked under the guidance of Hazard, only to see Zouma and Pogba leaning against each other head to head in the last row of the conference room, obviously already fast asleep.

Jiang Yuan took out his cell phone, took a secret photo, and then walked out.

"Don't you want to wake them up?"

Hazard was puzzled. It was almost time for dinner, and if Zouma and Pogba continued to sleep, they might not be able to have lunch.

“Why wake them up?”

Jiang Yuan asked Azar back.

"Eden, you know, the French are quite romantic, so let's not disturb them."

……

"Fuck!"

After everyone left, Mourinho angrily kicked the tactical board next to him. The tactical board fell to the ground with a loud "bang", which almost scared Brown who was sitting next to him to death.

"Um...Jose, what are you so angry about?"

Brown quickly stood up so that he could dodge when Mourinho threw something.

"Shit! Did you see them all when I was in a meeting just now? They all looked like they were about to fall asleep. I bet you 50 pounds that these people definitely went to a nightclub yesterday!"

Mourinho spoke loudly, but without any additional body movements. It was obvious that the Portuguese had his temper under control.

Brown smacked his lips, and after confirming it was safe, he sat back down. "I think you should not announce the meeting in advance next time. Just say that you will have a normal training today, and they won't play so late."

"That's exactly what we need to do!"

Mourinho pointed at Brown and agreed with what the assistant coach said.

It is not realistic to completely ban them from going to bars. What Mourinho can do is try to deceive those guys who like to play around.

"Actually, Jose, I feel like if we can win, it doesn't matter if they go and have fun."

Brown gave his opinion, but was immediately denied by Mourinho: "It doesn't matter? How can it be indifferent? With their attitude, I tell you, when the opponents in the league study us thoroughly, how can we play then?"

"Real Madrid is the Galacticos, Barcelona is the Cosmic Team, Lyon, do you know what we are?"

"We are a damn luxury cruise ship, everyone is having fun!"

As a veteran head coach, Mourinho knows one thing very well, that is, the games in the first half of the league and the second half are completely different.

The coaching staff of the Premier League teams are not there to do nothing. Chelsea played so hard in the first half of the round that it will most likely attract the attention of the coaches of strong teams such as Manchester City and Tottenham. After several months of observation and research, they are just waiting to overturn this luxury cruise ship of Chelsea in the second half of the round.

Chelsea’s current problem is that there are more and more stars, which means that even though Mourinho is a championship coach, he still cannot control these people in the team.

After listening to Mourinho's venting, Brown said nothing, and it was obvious that he didn't know what to do. When Mourinho first arrived at Chelsea, he did not strictly manage the players. Now it is very difficult for him to suddenly intervene in the middle of the game.

Other head coaches and captains help. The player in Chelsea who likes to go to the bar the most is captain Terry, who can be said to have blocked Mourinho's only path.

Ibrahimovic's joining only balanced the power in the locker room, but failed to improve Mourinho's status as the head coach in the team.

"Jose... I feel like you still need to care about Cesc now"

Brown couldn't find any opportunity to continue the conversation on the original topic, so he took the initiative to change the topic.

"Ceske?"

Mourinho frowned: "I told you, and you saw it, I gave him enough opportunities, but how is his performance now? Not to mention Chelsea, he can't play as a starter in other Premier League giants. His condition is really very bad!"

As Mourinho said, Fabregas' competitive state has shown signs of decline since the second half of last season. This season, the joining of Pogba and Kante has dealt a heavy blow to the Spaniard.

The fact is, Fabregas is no longer capable of playing as a starter for Chelsea. Even on the bench, the first choice for Chelsea's defensive midfielder is Matic, and Fabregas is second.

"It would be better to let Cesc leave in the winter window"

Brown expressed his thoughts that time is very precious for professional athletes. If Fabregas cannot start at Chelsea, it would be better for him to leave. If he stays for the entire season, it will do more harm than good to his future career.

In this regard, Mourinho sighed and slowly explained: "It is very difficult for Cesc to leave in the winter window, just like the previous summer window, no club is willing to offer a suitable price..."

Whether Fabregas can leave or not, it is useless if the player himself agrees, and it is also useless if the head coach Mourinho agrees. The final decision still lies in the hands of the club's top management.

The Spaniard cost the club 5000 million euros when he came to Chelsea, and now he can be sold for a maximum of 2500 million euros. According to Mourinho's judgment, the club's top management will not be willing to lose this money.

"Jose, I think you can communicate with Mr. Roman..."

Brown was halfway through his words when Mourinho suddenly raised his hand to interrupt him, his eyes looking into the distance: "Kurt, Paul, why are you two still here?"

"???"

Brown, who was sitting in the front row, turned his head and saw Zouma and Pogba sitting together in the last row of the conference room. They had dull expressions and it seemed that they had just woken up.

"Cough cough..."

After hearing Mourinho's words, the two men jumped up immediately and ran outside.

"Wait, you guys come back first!"

Mourinho handed them both back before they left the meeting room: "Did you hear anything just now?"

"no"

"Have"

Pogba shook his head and Zouma nodded. The two answered at the same time, and then looked at each other. Pogba glared at Zouma, and the latter realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"so"

Mourinho raised his hands: "Just pretend you didn't hear anything, understand me?"

The Fabregas issue is a problem between him, the club and the coaching staff, and Mourinho does not want any players to interfere.

If Zouma and Pogba tell their teammates about this and the big names on the Blues unite to fight against the club, then Mourinho, the head coach, will be in real trouble.

"OK OK, right!"

Pogba nodded twice in a row, then pulled Zouma and ran outside.

……

The front page headline of "Manchester Evening News" - Manchester City drew 1:1 with Southampton at home, and Manchester United lost 1:3 to defending champions Chelsea away.

The second headline on the front page of Metro: Rashford posted a photo of himself and Jiang on his personal social media (Jiang touched the Englishman's hair) and followed Jiang's Twitter account.

The 9th round of the Premier League was very exciting, with strong teams making upsets one after another. Only Chelsea, who seemed the most unreliable, won the game steadily.

Before the game, The Sun reported that captain Terry was dating a young Ukrainian model. However, Terry scored a goal in the next game, which immediately dispelled the original doubts.

However, just as the fans of each team were immersed in the joy of victory or the sadness of failure, at 10 p.m. on October 26, a forwarded message was pinned to the top of the Dongqiudi APP.
