Chapter 364 Respect ×4
In the penalty area, Harry Kane took a run and shot.

“Gooooaaaaaaalllll!!!”

"The ball goes in! From Harry Kane's penalty, Tottenham has extended the score difference to 2 goals!"

"The score is 3:1!"

Tottenham Hotspur narrowed the score to 3:1 through a penalty kick in the final minutes of the first half, which confused the Chelsea players.

Hazard opened his mouth wide, revealing his light red tongue: "WDF, what are we going to do?"

"..."

Jiang Yuan just looked at Kane who scored twice and was silent for a long time. If nothing unexpected happened, he was the one who had the most uncomfortable playing time in the entire Chelsea team.

He was clearly in great shape, but there was something hanging on his body, which made Jiang Yuan feel more and more uncomfortable the more he kicked.

If Tottenham's tactic is to change Jiang Yuan's mentality, then we can only say that they have succeeded!

In the penalty area, Pogba and Son Heung-min had a conflict for some unknown reason and pushed each other. Fortunately, their teammates arrived in time and did not give the referee a chance to get a card.

One minute of stoppage time in the first half, Chelsea launched a counterattack. After getting rid of Walker again, Jiang Yuan made a shot from the edge of the penalty area, but it was off target.

If Jiang Yuan had had such an opportunity at the beginning of the first half, he might have really been able to score the goal. The problem was that after playing for more than 40 minutes, Jiang Yuan's mentality had been broken by Walker.

“xuuuuu——!!!”

"Chelsea!"

"OUT!"

"Chelsea!"

"OUT!"

When they returned to the locker room at the end of the first half, the Blues players were mocked by the home fans. Boos and outs were very unpleasant to hear, but as losers, Jiang Yuan and Hazard could only lower their heads and walk silently into the corridor.

It's so fucking uncomfortable!

"I don't know what the hell you are doing!"

In the locker room, before Mourinho even walked in, Ibrahimovic was already furious.

"Pass the ball! Can't you just give it to me, Legend? I've been retreating, trying to receive the ball, but you just won't pass it to me. Why don't you pass it to me? Don't you know how to pass the ball?"

Ibrahimovic spoke in a serious tone, and if nothing unexpected happened, he was talking about Pogba, Jiang Yuan, and Falcao.

After hearing what Ibrahimovic said, Pogba, who had just sat down, stood up again: "Pass it, why should I pass it to you? Are you in a good position? The opponent is pressing all the time, and you are running outside the penalty area. What's the point of running outside the penalty area?"

"Can't you give it to Eden, and then let Eden give it to me?"

"I told you, they kept pressing and I couldn't find any chances!"

As Ibrahimovic and Pogba were talking, Ibrahimovic slowly approached them and they were about to fight. Jiang Yuan grabbed Pogba's arm and pulled Pogba, who had just been standing, back onto the bench.

“You are too impulsive”

Jiang Yuan put his palm on Pogba's thigh to prevent Pogba from suddenly jumping up and fighting with Ibrahimovic: "Paul, you have to learn from me. Calm down, calm down!"

"I……"

Pogba wanted to continue to rant with Ibrahimovic, but the next second Mourinho and Brown came in from outside, glanced at Ibrahimovic who was still standing and said: "Everyone sit down, no one speaks"

"whatever"

Ibrahimovic shook his hand and sat back in his seat.

With a squeak, Brown pulled out the tactical board and hurriedly moved the magnetic buttons on it according to the contents of the notebook.

"We lost completely in the first half, that's a fact, we were crushed by our opponents tactically, so I hope you all can calm down..."

Opposite Mourinho, Ibrahimovic suddenly said: "The reason why we always attack on the left is that we can turn the ball to the middle when attacking on the left, why not?"

Ibrahimovic's words stunned Mourinho for a moment. Obviously, the Portuguese did not expect Ibrahimovic to interrupt him.

After finishing speaking, Ibrahimovic looked at Jiang Yuan again: "You are being targeted by Kyle, so you should give me the ball. Find a way to give me the ball. Isn't this easy to do?"

"No, how can I give it to you?"

Jiang Yuan spread his hands: "When I go up, there are at least two people on the opposite side to trap me, and you are walking on the offside line, how can I have the chance to pass the ball to you?"

"You shouldn't have reached for the ball"

Ibrahimovic shouted: "When Paul gave you the ball, why didn't you just refuse it? If you can't get through the left, go through the middle."

"Fuck you, with your position, what's the point of giving you the ball?"

The resentment accumulated in the first half burst out at this moment. Jiang Yuan stood up and argued with Ibrahimovic. Pogba quickly pulled Jiang Yuan back and said, "Calm down, calm down, be as calm as me."

Jiang Yuan pointed at Ibrahimovic on the opposite side and said, "I passed it to you? Every time I passed it to you, you knew to shoot. You shot even when you were in a bad position. Can't you pass it back? At the beginning of the game, when you passed the ball to me instead of shooting, didn't it go in directly?"

"What the fuck? If I pass it to you, you'll definitely be able to score just because you're in a good position?"

"Shut up!"

Mourinho shouted angrily, interrupting Ibrahimovic and Jiang Yuan who were arguing: "We are now two goals behind, we should think about how to catch up with the score instead of arguing like dicks here"

Coming to the tactical board, Mourinho made some radical adjustments to the problems that occurred in the first half, the most critical of which was Jiang Yuan.

In the first half, Jiang Yuan was completely blocked by Kyle Walker, which was a very uncomfortable thing.

If Willian was there, Chelsea could have responded by taking off from both sides, but now there is an out-of-form Falcao hanging on the right, making it really difficult to fly.

Mourinho's response to this was to let Jiang Yuan go to the right, Hazard return to the left, Pogba take the position of attacking midfielder, and Fabregas play as defensive midfielder.

This style of play is similar to Chelsea last season. The offensive threat is not as good as Chelsea's lineup this season, but the advantage is that with Hazard, Chelsea will not be locked in one lane.

"Paul, attacking midfielder, can you do this?"

Mourinho expressed his concerns about Pogba, to which Pogba responded.

"Attacking midfielder?"

“No problem at all”

Just as Jiang Yuan expected, Mourinho put Hazard back to the wing. Now he doesn't know whether Walker will defend himself or Hazard in the second half. But it doesn't matter. Chelsea's offensive ability is very strong. As long as there is a way to open up, there will basically be no big problems.

"Hey, Jiang, Paul!"

Before leaving the locker room, Ibrahimovic took the initiative to come over and hugged Jiang Yuan and Pogba in turn, as a reconciliation for their earlier argument.

It has not been a year since the Swede transferred from Paris, and he always regards the Chelsea locker room as the Paris locker room.

When in the Paris locker room, Ibrahimovic was the absolute king and could scold anyone he wanted. But it was different in the Chelsea locker room. Terry, Hazard, Jiang Yuan, Pogba, and Fabregas were the five pure tigers of the locker room.

The most fatal thing is that there are very complicated relationships between these five tigers.

Terry, Hazard, Jiang Yuan, this is a circle.

Jiang Yuan and Pogba, this is another circle.

The truth is very clear: if you offend one person, you will at least offend two people.

Do you want to offend Jiang Yuan?

That's it. There are five tigers in total, and you've been targeted by four of them. You can say goodbye to Chelsea.

"come on! Come on!"

Jiang Yuan and Ibrahimovic hugged each other. Since Ibrahimovic took the initiative to reconcile, Jiang Yuan would certainly not refuse.

At the start of the second half, Fabregas was seen taking off his vest.

Seeing this scene, some Chelsea fans in the live broadcast room have more or less reacted and they believe Chelsea is likely to replicate the style of play of last season.

After coming on the pitch, Walker, who originally played as a right-back, switched to the left, solidifying his title of "Jiangyuan Full-back".

Seeing Chelsea's formation on the field, Pochettino, who was originally standing on the bench, now sat down directly.

Obviously, Pochettino guessed the changes Chelsea would make!
"Okay, the game begins. Chelsea has a substitution, Fabregas replaces Falcao. Apart from that, neither team has any other personnel changes..."

"..."

"Hiss, Tottenham's frontcourt pressing is still as strong as ever. In order to create pressure on Chelsea to pass the ball, Son Heung-min and Kane almost never stopped."

"Nante, a great dribble, Kante passes the ball to the right"

"Jiang Yuan, do you still want to fight Walker 1-on-1? Hmm! Pass the ball to the left, Pogba is very decisive, pass the ball to Hazard, Hazard will do it himself"

Whether it is Danny Rose or Dier, it is a very difficult task for both of them to defend Hazard alone. Tottenham's choice is very smart. Danny Rose faces Hazard, and Dembele comes from the middle to help.

Because he hadn't played as a left winger for a long time, the sudden pressure made Hazard a little flustered, and in the end he could only pass the ball into the penalty area.

Hazard's pass was not good, Ibrahimovic's positioning was a bit ill-considered, and in the end the ball was punched out by Lori.

Even a fool knows that defensive players will come out when Chelsea attacks, and the Tottenham coaching staff must have specifically emphasized this aspect to the players.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tottenham launched a counterattack against Chelsea.

After a series of passes in the frontcourt, Wanyama finally scored the goal.

"GOOOOOOOO-AAAAAAAAA-LLLLLLLL!!!"

"Oh my god, it went in again!"

"From No. 12 Wanyama, Tottenham is in really good shape today!"

Zeng Kan sighed that Tottenham had been beaten by Manchester City once before, and Chelsea beat Manchester City again. These three teams are really conscious and restrained each other.

In the camera, Mourinho put his hands in the pockets of his adidas down jacket and his expression turned dark.

As a FIFA pro-level coach, his ability to read the game is definitely much stronger than that of the players on the field, and much stronger than that of the fans at the scene.

Mourinho was convinced that there was no problem with Chelsea's tactics in the second half. Hazard and Jiang Yuan on the flanks were enough to pose a threat to Tottenham's defense.

But this threat has a prerequisite, that is, Chelsea's frontcourt players can play their normal level. After the 1:3 in the first half, Jiang Yuan and Hazard were a little reluctant to break through.

Ibrahimovic was even worse. The Swedish center forward of the Blues couldn't get the ball and was already in trouble in the midfield in the lounge.

"Chelsea!"

"OUT!"

"Chelsea!"

"OUT!"

Tens of thousands of home fans at White Hart Lane began to put pressure on Chelsea. Pogba, who was already in a bad mood, was even more uncomfortable. In a defense in the 72nd minute, Pogba pushed down the attacking Eriksen and received a yellow card.

“easy!”

"easy bro!"

Ivanovic pushed Pogba away to prevent further conflict between Pogba and Eriksen: "Be careful of the red card!"

By the 75th minute, Tottenham, with a three-goal advantage, had basically secured victory, but Chelsea did not give up. Jiang Yuan and Pogba slowly found the feeling of cooperating in the frontcourt.

"Ivanovic comes up and the full-back goes over the wing, which is a tactic Chelsea likes very much when attacking from the wing. I wonder if Tottenham has a better way to deal with this."

"Ivanovic, take Son Heung-min away, Jiang Yuan is still entangled with Walker!"

By now in the game, Jiang Yuan had a pretty good understanding of Walker's characteristics. The English defender was fast, but his acceleration was average. If Jiang Yuan insisted on breaking through, he would not be able to do it by just attacking him. He had to actively get close to Walker and use small moves to shake Walker before breaking through.

This is exactly how Jiang Yuan handled the situation next. When facing Walker, Jiang Yuan pretended to run to the right sideline to meet Ivanovic who was coming in, but he actually kicked with his right foot and ran directly in the opposite direction towards the middle.

!!!

Ivanovic was very smart. Seeing this scene, he directly passed the ball to Pogba in the middle.

Walker is very fast. If Ivanovic passes the ball to Jiang Yuan, Walker will most likely catch up when Jiang Yuan stops the ball. At this time, Pogba in the middle will be very crucial.

"Go, go, go!!"

Jiang Yuan didn't have time to signal Pogba, so he just shouted. Pogba in the middle dribbled the ball and mixed with Dembele, thinking about the shooting method Jiang Yuan liked while moving with the ball. Ibrahimovic shouted for the ball, but Pogba didn't give it to him.

Finally, step on the ball with your foot and gently pull the ball behind you.

This is to set up artillery for Jiang Yuan!
Walker is on his right hand, and Jiang Yuan now has only two ways to handle the ball. The first is to pass the ball to Hazard on the left, and the second is Jiang Yuan's choice this time.

Predict the position of the ball with your right foot, step on it with your supporting foot, and then swing out your left leg.

Just kick with your left foot!
boom!
He kicked the ball with great force, and at the moment when the instep touched the ball, he retracted his leg. The force of the swinging of his calves and thighs burst out in an instant, making the ball hardly rotate.

Jiang Yuan's shot was shot with his instep, his center of gravity was controlled, and the speed of the ball was sufficient. Finally, looking at this angle...

In the camera, the ball hit the crossbar like a cannonball, and with a "duang" sound, it bounced on the ground and went into the goal.

"The ball goes in, from Jiang Yuan's reverse... left-foot world wave!"

"Chelsea successfully equalized the score to 1 goal!"

[Damn, awesome! This is an absolute blind spot. There is nothing we can do about this. I can’t blame Ali.]

[Xiao Jiang has to stand out. Ibrahimovic is weak when facing big competitions. In this respect, he is really not as good as Xiao Jiang. He was always upset in the first half, but he was still able to score a world wave in the second half.]

[Damn, wouldn't it be better to let Hazard go to the wing from the beginning? This is purely the problem of Chelsea's coaching staff. Mourinho should have made a substitution earlier! ]

[Ah, indeed, a single-route explosion is very useful when playing against weak teams. When facing a strong team like Tottenham, they are completely weak. There is really nothing we can do about it. Mourinho should have moved Hazard to the wing at the beginning of the first half.]

[To be honest, I think Hazard is better as a front midfielder. Pogba has such a strong ability to advance, isn't it a waste if he doesn't play as a defensive midfielder? And this Fabregas is not as good as you say.]

Mourinho should have his own ideas

[Are you still praising Mourinho? Mourinho is already old. I just want to ask, besides parking the bus and counterattack, what else can Mourinho do? ]

[What do you think of the above? Just in terms of defensive counterattacks, there are very few teams in the Premier League that can beat Chelsea, right? Do you think defensive counterattacks are rubbish? ]

[The winter transfer window has begun, why is there no movement from Chelsea? 】

"Clap clap clap!"

In the camera, Mourinho applauded Jiang Yuan's long shot.

“Can you hit a shot like that?”

Pogba looked at Ibrahimovic and said, "If you can make a shot like that, shouldn't I pass the ball to you?"

"Fuck!"

Ibrahimovic glared at Pogba, who shrugged and stopped provoking him.

Although he scored a super world wave, Jiang Yuan did not run into the Tottenham goal to pick up the ball.

It is true that Jiang Yuan has regained his form, but his teammates are still not in good shape.

Anyone who knows Hazard and Pogba knows that 75 minutes is the time for these two guys to get off work, and then they have to start taking a walk.

Sure enough, after the next ball was kicked, Chelsea's frontcourt attack began to slow down, especially in shooting.

Overall, it's a feeling similar to... well, crazy penetration without ejaculation.

Very uncomfortable!

In the second minute of stoppage time, Jiang Yuan made a header in the penalty area. The ball did go into the net, but Jiang Yuan was offside before that.

“Beep, beep!!”

fuck!

Referee Atkinson blew the whistle to end the game. In the camera, the Chelsea players' actions were surprisingly consistent. They all put their hands on their waists, bent their necks, and closed their mouths.

"wowwo!"

“Glory glory Tottenham Hotspur~”

"And the spurs go marching on~"

"Tottenham are the greatest team the world has ever seen~"

"the spur!"

Bang bang bang!
"the spur!"

Bang bang bang!
After defeating the defending champions, the White Hart Lane was filled with cheers from Tottenham fans. Chelsea players walked towards the player tunnel with gloomy faces, not even having the face to look at the fans in the stands.

The fences on both sides of the player tunnel were filled with Tottenham fans. A group of people pointed at Jiang Yuan and shouted, "Leave Chelsea, leave Chelsea, come to us!"

"Chelsea is down!"

……

After the game, there was silence in the visiting team's locker room. Jiang Yuan and Hazard sat together. Hazard had dull eyes while Jiang Yuan was browsing his phone.

Although Jiang Yuan lost to Tottenham in this game, he is still at the top of the Premier League scorer list, but Chelsea dropped directly from third to fourth.

It is now the 20th round of the league. Last season, Chelsea lost at the beginning, but they were able to stabilize in the top three by the 20th round. This season is even more difficult than last season!

Hazard also took out his mobile phone, turned on the live broadcast of bt spors, and saw Pochettino who was being interviewed on the spot. At this time, Pochettino was talking a lot about belittling Chelsea.

“look!”

Azar turned up the volume on his phone to 40, and then showed the live broadcast content on the screen to Jiang Yuan.

In the picture, Pochettino is facing a reporter from Sky Sports, with dozens of billboards with brand logos behind him.

The fans in the stands were blocked by billboards, but judging from the sound coming from the live broadcast, most of the Tottenham fans at the scene did not leave.

They were all partying!
"Chelsea is a very strong team, but their weaknesses are also obvious. Their locker room is loose. Looking at the entire Premier League, Chelsea's discipline needs to be improved."

Pochettino first looked at the camera, then at the reporter: "You just said that we relied on luck to win, but I don't think so. After coming to Tottenham, I specified strict locker room discipline and strengthened physical training, and you saw the result."

Pochettino spread his hands to reporters: "We constantly pressed forward and forced Chelsea to make a lot of mistakes, and our defenders also had a very strong stickiness to the forwards."

"Premier League top scorer? No, we contained him"

By winning this hard-won game, Pochettino has proved his ability to Tottenham fans.

"Well, Jiang still found many opportunities under Walker's defense, and scored a flawless world wave in the 70th minute of the second half."

It can be seen that this Sky Sports reporter today is here specifically to find fault.

"We won the game in the end, and we defeated our opponent 4:2, defeating the defending champions. This is the result."

Pochettino emphasized their victory: "Mr. Reporter, you have to know that it is impossible to completely restrict a player like Jiang."

"So you think you've done a good job, is that right?"

“Yes, of course”

"Better than Mourinho?"

Faced with this question, Pochettino did not rush to answer, but thought carefully for a while: "Well... if it is based on today's game, Jose (Mourinho) does have some problems in tactical execution, but, well, I think he is a good coach"

In the away team's locker room, the words Pochettino said during the interview kept falling into Mourinho's ears.

Hazard just realized that Mourinho had come in and quickly turned off his phone, but it was too late.

Snapped!
Mourinho slammed the door and left with an expressionless face. Brown wanted to follow him but was driven back.

“I felt like Jose was angry”

Jiang Yuan said as he looked at the locker room door swinging back and forth.

"You don't have to think about it, he is just angry."

Mourinho is a man with a strong sense of self-esteem. Whenever he is targeted by reporters and referees, the Portuguese will curse loudly, not to mention the coach of the opposing team.

Pochettino's victory over Chelsea was a humiliation to Mourinho in itself, but he still gave the Portuguese a two-hit blow in the interview.

"I admit that he is a very good coach, but his tactical execution today did have some problems"

What kind of words are these!

……

In the footage, Mourinho walked into the press room, sat down and moved the mineral water on his table.

"Mr. Jose, it's a pity that you lost this game. For Chelsea, this is a very thought-provoking defeat"

"I don't need you to remind me, thank you"

Mourinho put his arms on the table and crossed his fingers.

The reporter was surprised by Mourinho's attitude, but he was not afraid and directly hit back: "Mauricio (Pochettino) pointed out that your tactical arrangement for today's game was problematic. You should have let Eden play as a left winger at the beginning of the game. As the coach of Chelsea, do you think he is right?"

"Well... I need to point out a problem for you here. Mauricio is the coach of Tottenham, he is responsible for Tottenham's tactics; I am the coach of Chelsea, responsible for Chelsea's coaching. I have no authority to make suggestions or comments on Tottenham's playing style, and similarly, Mauricio has no authority to comment on us."

"I discussed the issue of letting Eden start as left winger with the coaching staff, but it was not implemented in the end. I am not so stupid that I didn't even think of this issue."

Mourinho leaned his upper body back and leaned against the back of the chair.

The reporter nodded: "But the final result shows that letting Eden play as a left winger in this game is the best choice. Walker's ability to restrict Jiang is amazing."

"result?"

Mourinho leaned forward and put his arm on the table at the press conference again: "What was the result of the game? It was 4:2"

Mourinho held up four fingers in the camera: "Do you know what 4:4 means?"

"4 Premier League titles! This is the number of Premier League titles I have won alone"

"More than 19 other coaches combined"

Mourinho jumped up from his chair, pointed his thumb to the right, tilted his head to the right, and then pointed his right hand at his chest: "I have 4 in total, and all of them have 2 in total"

Mourinho faced the reporters and pressed down with one hand: "Respect, respect"

“respect”

"Respect!"

He then disappeared into the press room.

Just 10 minutes later, #Mourinhorespect directly entered the top ten trending searches on Twitter.

[Shit, Mourinho seems really angry]

[Mourinho and Pochettino are really strange. I saw them smiling and shaking hands at the end of the game. Why are they arguing again at the press conference now? ]

[I remember the score was 4:2, but after the press conference, the score became 4:5. Mourinho hattrick!]

[Respect, Respect, Respect, Respect! 】

[Chelsea is very strong this season. If they can win, it will be 5 respects]

[4 Premier League titles, indeed, Mourinho’s current number of titles is the second most since the Premier League reform, only behind Sir Alex Ferguson]

[Mourinho only has his mouth left, useless guy! ]

[Mourinho is not suitable to coach a top team. He is the best coach of a second-tier team. He should coach in Ligue 1 or a non-top five league, not Chelsea]

[Sorry, what are you talking about? If you are not suitable to coach a top team, then why can Mourinho win 4 Premier League titles? Did you help him win it?]

[God didn't give him a brain, there's nothing we can do about it]

[My grandma is a better footballer than Zlatan. Can Chelsea change a center forward? ]

[Chelsea are all rubbish. I watched Jiang's World Cup qualifiers before. Isn't the Chinese national team much better than Chelsea? ]

[Indeed, there are many national teams in Asia that are very strong now, especially Japan, where many players are in the top five leagues. But I feel that Japan is not as strong as China, because China has Jiang Zemin]
