Chapter 351 William Knee Injury
oh my god……

Watching the team doctor Clarkson running past him, Mourinho held his head in his hands. He knew that William had a problem with his knee, and he had seen it clearly outside the court just now.

During the confrontation on the periphery, Mendy knocked down Willian, and the Brazilian lost his balance and fell to the ground. It would have been no big deal if he had just rolled on the ground twice, but after Willian fell to the ground, his shoulder hit Mendy's hand, causing him to lose control of his body in a short period of time, and after turning 90 degrees, his knees landed first.

hiss--

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath. When he saw others getting injured, he couldn't help but imagine the pain he would feel if he got the same injury. This is an inexplicable human instinct.

After examining William, Clarkson did not take out ethyl chloride to relieve William's pain as the fans expected, but directly gestured to Mourinho outside the field.

The meaning is obvious, William can no longer continue the game.

"Fuck!"

Pogba held Jiang Yuan's shoulders and turned around. It was really hard to look at William in this state.

"Chelsea's team doctor is helping William off the field. It looks like William can't continue playing."

"Last season, a reporter revealed that in order to increase the team's chances of winning the league title, Mourinho asked Willian to play with a closed knee in the last few games. This shows that Willian has problems with his knees. Now he was hit on the ground like this, it must not be very painful..."

"I would like to share a piece of knowledge with my friends in the live broadcast room. If an athlete gets a second injury in a closed area, it is a very serious matter, because after the closure, your pain perception of the wound will decrease. This has little impact when you are injured, but in the final recovery period, you yourself have no idea whether you have recovered or not. You may feel that your knee no longer hurts and is fine, but the result is that the injured area has not healed at all, it's just that the pain cannot be transmitted to your brain."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Chelsea should send someone to take William to a local hospital in London for treatment. The specific situation will depend on the announcement at that time. All we can do now is pray for the player."

[Fuck, is Monaco's No. 23 an idiot? It's ok to knock William down, but what's the point of blocking him? Isn't it obvious that he wants to hurt people? ]

[Although I felt bad too, if you look closely, Mendy stopped the moment William fell to the ground. His hand was close to his torso, and he did not intend to affect William.]

[Indeed, William’s luck is really bad]

[This is fucked up. Last season they said Zouma and Willian had knee problems, but this season they got sued? ]

[Two main players exploded, isn't Chelsea doomed this season?]

[Fuck, Zuma still needs more than a month, and William will take who knows how many months...]

【Fuck! 】

【Chelsea’s luck...】

As the comments said, last season both Zouma and William were reported to have knee problems, but after winning the league title, the fans simply forgot about the matter.

The injury was not properly handled in a timely manner, and the boomerang from last season hit Mourinho this season.

At this time, everyone in the Chelsea camp was undoubtedly depressed. Of course, no matter how sad they were, the game had to go on. The referee blew the whistle and the game continued with a drop ball. Kennedy ran into the field after getting permission from the fourth official and brought a note to Jiang Yuan and Hazard.

Opening the note, Jiang Yuan recognized Mourinho's handwriting. Mourinho rarely wrote anything on tactical notes himself, and it was obvious that he was really anxious this time.

The content on the note was also very simple, with only a few words and abbreviations, but it did not affect understanding. The general meaning was to shift the focus of the attack further to the left, completely castrating the right side where Kennedy was.

It was a bold move, but everyone knew that this was the only way to win.

With all the opportunities on the left, Jiang Yuan inevitably felt more pressure. In order to ensure that Jiang Yuan's physical strength was not over-consumed, Hazard increased the frequency of his runs to the left.

In the 68th minute of the game, Chelsea used this seemingly brainless style of play to create a good opportunity. Terry's long pass from the backcourt accurately found Pogba. Seeing Pogba get the ball, Hazard, who was originally on the left, took the initiative to run to the middle to get the ball.

Because they wanted to drag the draw to the end, Monaco's defensive players were under a lot of pressure. Hazard ran back to the middle, and Bernardo Silva followed him in the first time, using his body to block the passing path between Jiang Yuan and Hazard.

At this time, Jiang Yuan made a very smart choice, which was to give up his position and go directly to the middle.

!

Hazard understood Jiang Yuan's meaning in an instant, and immediately ran to the left with the ball. The moment the two people crossed, Hazard made a short pass to Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yuan immediately returned the ball to Hazard. The crossing runs and wall passes made Silva and Germain a little confused. Finally, Jiang Yuan took the ball to the wing.

"Standard wing cooperation, Jiang Yuan wants to move forward with the ball"

"Wow, now most of the players from both teams are concentrated on Chelsea's left wing. Chelsea's front right wing is even left empty, with only Kennedy in the middle."

"The offensive focus is very obvious, but in this case, Monaco's defensive goal is very clear. We just need to keep an eye on Jiang Yuan, and there will be no other problems."

"That's true, but..."

He Wei was just about to say that Jiang Yuan was not that easy to deal with, but the next second Jiang Yuan in the picture performed a crotch-penetrating move, accelerated to bypass Fabinho, and faced Sidibe directly on the wing.

There are a lot of defensive players on the left side now. If Jiang Yuan plays one-on-one like before, it will definitely not work. Within 5 seconds, Monaco's defensive players will surround him and force Jiang Yuan to the corner flagpole.

In order not to give Monaco the opportunity to surround him, Jiang Yuan chose to accelerate at full speed, using his speed and confrontation ability to force his way inside and pass the ball directly in front of Fabinho.

"woww!"

"What is this!? Oh my god!"

Using physical strength to eat away the opponent is what the Premier League team should do most when facing a Ligue 1 team. Jiang Yuan did not rush to stop after getting rid of Fabinho, but his speed became faster and faster.

"Go up! Stick to him! Stick to him!"

Subasic in front of the goal was like facing a great enemy, and quickly signaled the central defender to defend closely. At this time, Jiang Yuan suddenly changed direction and walked towards the bottom line, deceiving the defender from outside the penalty area and completing the compression of Monaco's defense. Then Jiang Yuan pretended to shoot at zero angle, but actually sent the ball to Pogba in the middle with an inverted triangle.

boom!
With a crisp sound of hitting the ball, Pogba's long shot successfully penetrated the Monaco goal defended by Subasic.

"Goooaaallllll!!"

“Paul Pogba!!!”

"Oh my god, Pogba's long shot, Chelsea took the lead in the 70th minute!"

The exclamations of two commentators were heard in the CCTV live broadcast room.

From Hazard's small-scale action to Jiang Yuan's accelerated cut inside, and finally to Pogba's long shot from the dead corner, Chelsea players used this goal to tell their opponents what true personal ability is. There is no doubt that this is a display of Chelsea players' personal ability.

"Top man!"

Jiang Yuan intercepted Pogba who was about to rush off the field to celebrate, and grabbed Pogba's thick black hair with one hand. Because the frequent perming destroyed too many disulfide bonds, Pogba's hair was rougher than others.

But that's not the point.

The point is the reversal!
Finally, the reversal happened!
call……

Mbappe stood there and sighed. The little turtle dreamed of becoming Monaco's savior hero. The result showed that there is still a big gap between dreams and reality.

There are heroes, but today's hero is Pogba, Chelsea's super number 6!
At the end of the game, Mbappe sat on the ground dejectedly after the whistle. The cheers at Stamford Bridge were shocking, but it was a pity that the cheers did not belong to Mbappe.

"Hey!"

Jiang Yuan walked over and stretched out his hand to pull Mbappe up from the ground. Jiang Yuan was not good at comforting others, so he didn't do anything after pulling Mbappe up from the ground.

"Thanks for your hard work"

Mourinho opened his arms and hugged Jiang Yuan. Chelsea's strongest winger regained his scoring feeling. This could be said to be one of the few good news for Chelsea in this game.

"Where's William?"

Jiang Yuan didn't see William on the bench, so he asked. When they heard the word "William", Hazard and Terry came over. As old teammates, they were of course very concerned about William's condition.

Mourinho glanced at his phone and replied, "He's already in the hospital. The specific situation depends on the doctor's analysis, but..."

Mourinho looked around and confirmed that there were no reporters nearby before continuing: "The situation is definitely not good, because he has been injured in that position before."

"..."

Jiang Yuan and Azar looked at each other and said nothing.

After the game, there was still one question in the fans' minds that hadn't been answered, so they stayed on the homepage of Dongqiudi for a while. The question was: who was the best player in today's game?
Hazard created free kicks to the extreme and was the most stable link for Chelsea throughout the game. Logically, he should be the best player.

But Jiang Yuan was not bad either. He scored directly from a free kick and successfully turned the situation around. If you think about it carefully, there would be no problem if Jiang Yuan won the best player trophy.

There is also Pogba. Although the tactical foul in the first half did not achieve the desired effect, Pogba once showed a very good state after the score was tied. In the 70th minute, he completed the reversal with a long shot. A goal is worth a thousand gold, and he really deserves the best player trophy.

There was a quarrel in the comment section about who was the best player, and the official result was finally announced as Pogba, who was worth a lot for one goal.

Of course, this kind of voting thing is bound to be controversial. Some people are dissatisfied, while others support it. This is common.
UEFA officially awarded the MVP trophy to Pogba, and the best player voted by fans was Jiang Yuan, who scored a direct free kick and assisted Pogba.

It’s okay that the official and the fans have different opinions, but one hour after the game, Chelsea announced the MVP voted by the players, and the winner was Hazard.

Wow, three organizations gave three completely different answers, which is enough to show how controversial the MVP of this game is.

Anyway, no matter what, the result is good.

UEFA: In the fifth round of Group G, Chelsea beat Monaco 2-1 and currently ranks first in the group with 10 points after one more game.

The front page headline of "Germany Forward" - Cesar missed an empty goal, Reus scored the winning goal in 94 minutes of injury time!

The front page headline of "AS" - Barcelona beat Arsenal 3-0 at home, Messi scored twice and Neymar assisted a hat-trick.

"Portugal A BOLA" - Benfica lost 1:2 to Napoli away from home, and goalkeeper Ederson saved two penalties.

It is said that the Champions League is the most entertaining football match in terms of technical and tactical aspects. There were 5 matches in the fifth round of the group stage, and none of them were draws. Anyway, the fans who watched this round of matches definitely gained something, and of course they would be even happier if the home team won.

Except Chelsea.

The day after the game, Chelsea released a message on Twitter and Instagram at the same time, which directly dealt a painful blow to Blues fans around the world.

Chelsea: William has a torn patellar ligament in his left knee, a strained collateral ligament, and impact injury to the cartilage around his knee. He is confirmed to miss all remaining games this season.

William's season-ending injury had a huge impact. Before Mourinho had time to arrange Chelsea's tactics after Kennedy came on the field, he was called out by the club management to attend a press conference.

Click!

Click, click, click!

The press conference was attended by professional journalists from 17 newspapers including ESPN, Sky Sports, The Times and Metro. A reporter from The Sun also arrived but was immediately kicked out by Mourinho.

There were so many reporters, which was enough to show that this matter received a lot of attention.

A player worth 5000 million euros being out for the season is no small matter in itself. Coupled with the news that Mourinho asked Willian to get a closed knee last season, the popularity of this matter will not be low in any case.

"Jose, at the end of last season, in order to ensure that the team won the championship without any accidents, you asked William to have injections on his knees, both knees. Is that true?"

"That's right"

Mourinho nodded decisively, and it was no secret that he did so.

"so..."

The Sky Sports reporter flipped through a stack of documents, which contained a draft she had prepared for today's interview: "We understand that lockdown will cause players to have reduced control over injured parts of the body, and if secondary injuries occur, the situation will be very serious. Jose, you let William get a lockdown injection, and he suffered a secondary knee injury in the game the day before yesterday. Do you regret your decision?"

"well..."

Mourinho was silent on the issue for a while.

Obviously, this is not an easy question to answer, even for the experienced Mourinho.
