Chapter 341 Playing the lute to a cow?

Karimova's pregnancy was both a surprise and a pressure for Jiang Yuan. If the calculations were correct, Jiang Yuan would become a father when he was 19 years old.

Of course, family is only one aspect. Jiang Yuan needs to be responsible for his unborn child, as well as the team and the fans. The day after learning that Karimova was pregnant, Jiang Yuan returned to Cobham base as usual and trained with his teammates.

"wowoowowow～～～"

As soon as they returned to the base, Zouma and Pogba twisted their bodies and slowly walked towards Jiang Yuan. Terry came over and stretched out his hand to squeeze Jiang Yuan's shoulder: "Congratulations! The speed at which you have a child is almost as fast as the speed at which you run."

"When he first came to the club he was single," Hazard added.

Jiang Yuan started his first love at the age of 18. Looking at the entire Chelsea Club, this time was a bit late, but in just half a year, Jiang Yuan had his first child.

Just as Terry said, Jiang Yuan had children as fast as he ran!

"please"

Jiang Yuan spread his hands, not knowing what to say: "Actually, I am also taking protective measures... because I really don't plan to have children."

Terry raised his eyebrows, looking like an experienced person, and the Chelsea captain immediately realized what Jiang Yuan was talking about.

"Dude, don't take that thing off once you put it on"

Terry patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder: "Because sometimes you can be more excited than you think, especially when your girlfriend is very sexy."

“But it has already happened.”

Jiang Yuan's words made everyone present laugh. Mourinho came over and blew the whistle, and today's training content officially began.

Mourinho always likes to give an exciting speech before warming up, and today is no exception. The most suitable topic is naturally about Jiang Yuan. Mourinho looked Jiang Yuan up and down, nodded and said: "FIFA speed rating 88, for an 18-year-old, 88 speed is indeed a bit exaggerated, but from this point of view, this speed is quite reasonable"

"come on!"

Jiang Yuan showed a helpless expression: "Jose, please stop making fun of me, okay?"

"Hahaha, okok, right, anyway, you must invite me when you hold a wedding. By the way, remember to invite that guy Hu Lun, I haven't seen him for a long time."

Mourinho and Lopetegui have always maintained contact, but because they are in different leagues and Lopetegui is now coaching the Spanish national team, the two have fewer opportunities to meet.

It just so happens that Jiang Yuan can become the link between the two, and Mourinho can also take the opportunity to mock Lopetegui for failing to win the league championship and having to return to his hometown to coach.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Rozovich will help you stretch. I will tell you about the training while you stretch."

clap clap clap!
Mourinho's continuous applause prompted the Blues players to take action immediately, forming a not particularly regular circle with Rozovic as the center.

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Terry, who was originally on the opposite side, suddenly thought of something and ran over and stood next to Jiang Yuan.

"Ok, now, The World's Greatest Stretch"

As soon as Rozovic finished speaking, he stood up with his feet one in front of the other, slowly squatted down, and guided his teammates to stretch. While doing the movements, Terry chatted with Jiang Yuan: "Jiang, what do you think about getting married as Jose mentioned?"

"I do not know either……"

Jiang Yuan said helplessly that when it comes to marriage, he actually didn't think about it that way at all.

"Well... Well, listen to me. Just treat it as a small suggestion. It's up to you whether you want to adopt it or not."

Terry touched his nose and finally said, "My advice is, if you are not in a hurry, then don't get married yet. Wait at least another 3 or 4 years. If you still want to marry Alina by then, there is no need to rush to get married then."

"Well?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized what Terry meant...

"I understand," Jiang Yuan nodded.

“You don’t have to do this.”

Seeing Jiang Yuan responded so quickly, Terry emphasized again that he was just making a suggestion: "You know, athletes like us have more money, so... well, this is just a suggestion. I know you like her, but I want to tell you from my experience, you may like her now, but you may not still like her in a few years."

It has to be Terry. Although the England captain is married, he is still as bad as ever...

……

At 10:31 on October 0st, Beijing time, Chelsea played the 10th round of the league against Southampton away. In this game, Mourinho returned to the team's original 4231 formation.

Southampton drew with Manchester City in the last round of the league and is definitely not an opponent that can be underestimated, so Chelsea also fielded a full main lineup. Fabregas, who has not been reused since the start of this season, appeared in the roster, but he was still only a substitute.

The final result was very regrettable. Chelsea, playing away, lost to the home team Southampton with a score of 0:1. In the first 80 minutes of the game, both teams attacked and defended, but neither scored a goal.

In the 84th minute, Southampton's new signing Van Dijk scored a header from a corner kick, completing the winning goal against Chelsea.

Speaking of Van Dijk, Pierre's vision is really unique. If nothing unexpected happens, Van Dijk should be one of the best central defenders in the Premier League this season. Just taking this game as an example, in addition to the header in the 84th minute, Van Dijk also had many wonderful defensive performances to keep Southampton's goal intact.

"Fuck!"

Bang bang bang!
In the locker room, Ibrahimovic pounded the wall angrily, and the other players of the Blues were all dejected.

We guessed from the beginning that Southampton would not be an easy opponent to deal with, but no one thought that we would actually lose.

"call……"

Jiang Yuan let out a long breath, hugged his knees, and looked a little uncomfortable. If he remembered correctly, this should be Jiang Yuan's worst performance in the game since the start of the season.

Only 6 of 1 shots was on target, and it went directly into the opponent's goalkeeper's hands. This is really unmatched.

In fact, it was not just Jiang Yuan. The entire Chelsea was in a bad state today. At around 60 minutes, Jiang Yuan seized the opponent's defender's mistake and created a one-on-one opportunity. Facing the goalkeeper, Jiang Yuan chose to pass the ball to Hazard who was in a better position on the right. However, Hazard was obviously sleepwalking today. Not only did he not give any strength, he even didn't touch the goal frame.

After the game, the team coach Mourinho was interviewed by Sky Sports reporters at St. Mary's Stadium.

When asked about the players' performance, Mourinho replied:

A bunch of shit!

Mourinho cancelled his second day of holiday because of the team's defeat against Southampton.

Out of adherence to scientific training, Mourinho did not let the players do physical training directly after the game, but took this opportunity to hold an ideological meeting.

"Chelsea is lacking an upward force now. Do you know what I mean? The upward force means that you should pursue higher goals."

Mourinho walked back and forth in front of the projector, with nearly 30 Chelsea first-team players in the audience.

Because they lost the game, the players were in a bad mood.

Seeing that the players were all looking at him, Mourinho continued what he had not finished saying: "We are the defending champions this season, the champions of last season, and the champions of the season before last. We are the best team in the Premier League, no doubt about it, but this does not mean that we can stop here."

Mourinho pursed his lips hard: "I am 53 years old now, and yesterday"

“and yesterday” the Portuguese emphasized.

“I was only 20, but today I’m 53.”

Mourinho spread his hands and the players in their seats looked at each other, not quite understanding what the head coach meant.

53 now, 20 yesterday?
Seeing the players' confused looks, Mourinho stared into everyone's eyes and said: "Time files time files! (Time flies)"

"I think you'll regret it one day if you don't achieve the heights you could have achieved"

Mourinho's eyes swept over all the players present, and he spent extra time on Hazard, Jiang Yuan, and Pogba. After that, he extended his right index finger and made the number "1". "There is a big difference between a player who always maintains a high level and a player who occasionally has a flash of inspiration. This is the biggest difference between the top players and players with the potential to become superstars. I don't expect every one of you to become the best player in the world. I don't expect every one of you to appear on the Golden Globe Award list like Jiang and Eden. I don't expect you to score goals in every game and make wonderful clearances."

"To be honest, there are some players in the team whose talents shock me. I was not an outstanding player when I was a player, so I envy your talents, very much. God has given you abilities that no one else has, so I think..."

Mourinho paused here.

"Well... I just want to tell you that if you take it like this again, I think you will regret it."

"You should have higher requirements for yourself, not me, not anyone else, but you. I think you should demand more from yourself, this is the most important thing."

"Thank you my friends!"

Mourinho smiled and nodded slightly: "That's all for this meeting. Now you can go outside and the Lyon coach will take you in training. We lost the game against Southampton, but it was just a game and we have to win it back later."

clap clap clap!
Ibrahimovic was moved by Mourinho's heartfelt words. He stood up and applauded, and at the same time signaled his teammates to stand up like him: "Okay, come on, let's all stand up and go to work!"

Jiang Yuan took the opportunity to walk outside and glanced at his teammates around him. Hazard looked thoughtful, but Pogba looked disdainful.

Expressions can tell a lot, but Jiang Yuan is not a psychologist after all, so he has no way of knowing what other teammates are thinking.

There is a big contradiction between adult stars and young players. Adult stars have skills, abilities, and experience that young players do not have. They can better execute the coach's arrangements and present the coach's plan in the game.

But all of this has a prerequisite, that is, the adult stars can listen to what the coach says. If they can't do this, the execution ability of the adult stars may not even be as good as that of the young players.

After all, not every big-name star is willing to listen to a lecture from an old man.

Mourinho is also pitiful now. There are more and more stars in the team, but he still cannot win a Champions League title, and it is difficult to ensure his unshakable position in the locker room.

……

It is November 11th, London time. After losing the last game, Chelsea was squeezed to second place by Liverpool. At this time, the Blues urgently need a game to prove themselves.

Although not many people listened to Mourinho's speech half a week ago, it still had some effect. Take Hazard for example. The Belgian has not been late for training in recent days, which can be said to have given Mourinho enough face.

During the training session, Jiang Yuan took the initiative to run to the visiting team's training ground and chatted with Everton substitute Browning who was warming up.

The reason for the conversation was simple: Browning was a real Chinese American.

Unfortunately, during the conversation, Jiang Yuan discovered that Browning could hardly speak Chinese, so he didn't continue chatting with him.

11:7 noon, November 12th, Beijing time.

"Zhuangdianertai, Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, dear audience friends!"

"Here is the live broadcast of the 11th round of the Premier League, Chelsea's home game against Everton. We can see that the game has started now."

"First, let me introduce the starting lineup for this game..."

"Then it's the visiting team Everton, same 4231"

Everton (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Stekelenburg
Defenders: Oviedo, Jagielka, Ashley Williams, Coleman
Midfielders: Barry, Murray, Barkley
Forwards: Cleverley, Lukaku, Bolasie

Head coach: Ronald Koeman
The director was quite professional. Taking advantage of the slow pace of the opening match, he directed the shot to Everton's bench, which naturally included some commentary from the CCTV commentator.

"Dear audience friends, we can see that Browning, No. 27 on the bench, is a Chinese guy born in Liverpool. His mother and grandfather are both Chinese, and his surname is Jiang."

"Currently, this young Chinese player has played four games for the England U17 and U19 national teams respectively, and one game for the England U4 team. Although he did not score a goal, his performance can be said to be quite good."

"Yes, in fact, I have paid special attention to this choice before. When Jiang Yuan joined Porto U17, Browning happened to make his debut for the England U20 team."

"Here is a message for the fans in the live broadcast room. If Browning does not play in the England first team, he will have a chance to play for the Chinese national team."

[He is of Chinese descent, but his face shape is indeed somewhat different from that of a pure white person. Can we get this guy here so that our national football team will have two Premier League players?]

[This is not a pure Chinese either...]

[What's the big deal? Her mother is Chinese, so she is Chinese. Hurry up and get her here. The Chinese national football team can't be led by one person.]

[What are you thinking? I took a look at this Browning and it’s only around 100 million Euros. It doesn’t matter if you have it or not.]

[Do you think 100 million euros is low? It's amazing to have 100 million euros in the Chinese national football team. Don't watch Xiao Jiang's games every day and think that 100 million euros is just 2 months' salary. Can't a Premier League player with 100 million euros be a regular starter in the Chinese national football team? ]

[Hey, let's see if Browning has a chance to play in this game]

[The core point is not bloodline, but nationality. It is clearly written on Browning's panel: England, not China. After all, it turns out that he is of Chinese descent. What's the point of me paying attention to that?]

[Indeed, nationality is the core. Xiao Jiang also has a child. What nationality will Xiao Jiang's child be? ]

[Of course it's China. What's the point of Uzbek citizenship? ]

[Go, go, go, the last game was so uncomfortable for me, I must give Everton a heavy blow in this game]

In this game, Mourinho used the previous 4231 formation and also used the entire main lineup. The main reason is that Everton is very terrifying this season. In the previous rounds of games, they even defeated Manchester United, one of the two Manchester City giants. It can be said that their strength should not be underestimated.

However, beating Manchester United does not mean beating Chelsea. What fans don’t know is that Chelsea players have been in very good training condition in recent days and their game condition is even better.

In the 6th minute, Chelsea got a good counterattack opportunity thanks to Kante's backcourt interception. Pogba's long pass from the backcourt accurately hit William on the right side. The latter took the ball and looked towards the middle after approaching the baseline.

"gogogo!"

Ivanovic urged, so William decisively chose to cross the ball directly to Ibrahimovic in the penalty area. The latter headed the ball and easily scored into the net.

In fact, Stekelenburg had already made a save, but Ibrahimovic's header was too close to the goal, leaving Stekelenburg no time to react.

"Gooooooaaaaaaaaaallllllll"

Because of the loss in the previous game against Southampton, the fans were a little worried about the condition of Chelsea players in today's game. They really didn't expect the first goal to come so soon.

As the camera focused, Ibrahimovic, who scored the goal, ran to the right like crazy, squatted slightly, put his arms around William's thighs, and suddenly exerted force, pulling William up from the ground.

"good boy!"

William, who is only 1 meters tall, is like a toy in Ibrahimovic's hands. The Swede rushed to the stands with William in his arms, and the Chelsea players on the field also ran over

Mourinho put his hands in his pockets, turned around and walked towards the bench and sat down on the chair.

“We are sure to win this game”

"Well?"

Mourinho's words made Brown's eyes widen: "Jose, it's still early"

"No, no, no, time is not the key."

Mourinho shook his head and explained: "I can feel that these guys are in very good shape today"

"When this group of talented monsters want to play, no one in the Premier League can beat us"
