Chapter 376 Chelsea's Million

Snapped!
Pogba made a long pass to the left front court. Remy had a good offensive awareness and came over in advance to cooperate with Jiang Yuan. The two of them made a very fast two-pass pass, and finally Jiang Yuan rushed into the penalty area to complete the shot.

It was originally an attack by Wolves, but in the end it became a goal for Chelsea. This is the gap between the top teams in the Premier League and the top teams in the Championship.

There is no way. Chelsea's offense and defense transitions are too fast. After all, with Pogba and Jiang Yuan, Chelsea only needs a long pass to complete a task that other teams can take more than 10 seconds to complete.

The first half of the game ends and the second half begins.

This is the fifth round of the FA Cup. The name of the fifth round sounds like a group stage, but it is actually a knockout stage.

If you lose, you are eliminated, and if you win, you advance. Under this screening mode, the Wolves, who are two goals behind, will definitely not accept it.

As the only Championship team in the fifth round, Wolves must stand up today.

Chelsea created a miracle of winning 10v11 at Anfield. Today, Wolves will also defeat Chelsea, the third place in the Premier League, as a Championship team!

Happy beans live room.

"Ok guys, the second half has just started, it's 50 minutes now, the score is already 2:0, the anchor said before the game, betting on 2.5 for this game is absolutely right"

"We scored two goals in the first half of 45 minutes, so there shouldn't be any problem in scoring another goal in the remaining 2 minutes, right?"

As a professional gambler and Happy Beans anchor, A Kun has his own set of mathematical theories.

Chelsea can score a goal every 22.5 minutes on average, so Akun's big 2.5 is very stable.

Mathematics as a subject is very rigorous in itself, and gamblers are full of confidence after completing mathematical calculations!

This one tonight is a sure win!
"lalala～lalalalaaa～"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The 3 seats at Molineux Stadium were packed, and the players applauded the last stand of the Championship team.

As for the Chelsea fans in the away stands, these guys fell into a very strange state, both relaxed and nervous.

It was easy because Chelsea's defense was very solid in this game, and the coordination between Pogba and Jiang Yuan in the front and back courts was able to directly suppress Wolves.

The tension is because of the Premier League. Before the start of the game, the Blues fans expected to win the first three consecutive titles in the team's history this season, but judging from Chelsea's current form, they may be a little weak when facing strong teams in the next few rounds of games.

They are watching the FA Cup and are nervous about the Premier League. I guess only Chelsea and Arsenal fans would do this!

In the 53rd minute of the game, six players stood up from the Chelsea bench. Obviously, Mourinho was ready to save the energy of his main players when he was sure of victory.

The situation on the field was the same. Jiang Yuan basically didn't attack much, which made A Kun a little nervous.

"Brother, don't mess with me, brother. Jiang Yuan, can you be a little more aggressive? It's almost a hat trick, don't you want a hat trick?"

As soon as Akun finished speaking, Chelsea found an opportunity for Hazard to penetrate in the middle. After advancing from the backcourt, Alonso passed the ball to Remy who was retreating, and Hazard replaced Remy's center forward position.

Remy's through pass was pretty good. Hazard stopped the ball with the arch of his foot and his body also stopped at the same time.

The biggest characteristic of the Belgian superstar is his ever-changing rhythm. In the eyes of defensive players, Hazard at this time is like someone who has drunk fake wine, and they have no idea what he will do next.

Hazard's characteristic dribbling also found him an opportunity. In the camera, Hazard knocked the ball to the right with his left foot and took small steps to complete the transfer from the center to the right.

Remy has not arrived yet, and Jiang Yuan quickly ran to Remy's position in front of the small penalty area, ready to receive Hazard's cross.

As expected, Hazard stepped on the bottom of the penalty area line. The defensive midfielder George Saville was very nervous, fearing that Hazard would form a linkage with Jiang Yuan after going down the bottom, so he used the inertia of running to go directly to the ground.

boom!
Xavier successfully kicked the ball, but he kicked Hazard first and then the ball.

It's a penalty!

"Here it comes! Shit! Here it comes!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of typing on the keyboard came from the live broadcast room, followed by A Kun's roar.

"Penalty! Penalty is coming! King of the ball, help me!"

"Brothers, what did I say!"

A Kun adjusted the position of the keyboard and suppressed his excitement: "The score is 2.5 for the whole game. Jiang Yuan has already scored 2 goals. Chelsea's first penalty taker comes on the field and scores a hat trick!"

[The anchor is awesome, he can even step on this? ]

[Sure, Xiao Jiang's hat trick, this is what I've been waiting for! ]

[Hazard is in great form this season, it's a pity for Chelsea. If Hazard was in this form last season, Chelsea would probably have been able to reach the Champions League final]

[Don't feel sorry, there are still chances in this season's league and Champions League, why are you feeling sorry here?]

[Damn it, I bought 0:2. If I had known earlier, I would have bought 0:3 with Brother Kun. This wave is a direct loss! ]

Fans in the live broadcast room lamented continuously.

A Kun's guessing success rate is ridiculously low, which also makes him regarded as mediocre in the eyes of fans in the live broadcast room.

阿坤说要买0：3，结果马上就有很多卖买0：2，1：2，或者0：1这种比分，就是不跟阿坤买在一起。

But now it seems that all those who bought 0:2 and 1:2 will lose money.

Hazard made a penalty, and Jiang Yuan, who was in excellent form today and had 2 goals on his hands, took the penalty!
The director's camera focused, Jiang Yuan spun the ball in his hands twice, and then placed the ball in the middle of the white circle on the grass.

Take three steps back, stand still, and start taking deep breaths.

"Beep!!!"

"Beep beep beep!!"

The entire Molineux Stadium was filled with the sound of false whistles. Chelsea was now leading by two goals. If Jiang Yuan scored this penalty, Wolves would have no chance of a comeback.

Fortunately, Wolves' starting goalkeeper is Alkmaar, a player with very strong penalty-saving ability.

"Jiang Yuan! Run!"

A Kun's voice sounded, and the next second.

"What the hell, what the hell is this?"

In the live broadcast room, Jiang Yuan's supporting foot was on the left side of the ball, preparing to complete the shot with his right foot, but when his supporting foot touched the grass.

Jiang Yuan, he fell down!

"Jesus!"

Inside the restricted area, Jiang Yuan held his head with both hands. Although he didn't know why he fell to the ground, he was too embarrassed to see anyone.

The director gave a replay. After the referee blew the whistle to award a penalty, the two central defenders of Wolves, Bass and House, sneaked to the penalty spot and rubbed the nails on their shoes back and forth near the penalty spot, digging out a small dent.

They knew Jiang Yuan would shoot with his right foot, so they only dug a hole on the left side of the penalty spot.

The result was just as the fans in the live broadcast room saw, Jiang Yuan stepped on a small pit with his left foot and fell directly.

The Blues players were stunned when they learned the result from the big screen on site.

It turns out that it’s not that Jiang Yuan is not good at penalty kicks, but that the opponent’s IQ is too high?

Pogba ran over to complain to the referee: "Hey, this is a foul, this is 100% a foul"

Strictly speaking, destroying the playing field is a foul.

But this is a difficult thing to do because you can't objectively judge whether the Wolves defender damaged the turf intentionally or unintentionally.

This was the first time that referee Jonathan Moss encountered such a situation. He made the final decision after standing in place for a while.

The penalty is valid!

“ho shit!”

Mourinho scratched his hair back and forth with the three middle fingers of his right hand.

[Fuck, my brother Kun is starting to show his strength again, right? He turned the game around from 0:3 and directly eliminated Xiao Jiang’s penalty kick]

[No, this is not a heavy penalty. These British referees are a bit mentally retarded.]

[Don't impose a heavy penalty, don't impose a heavy penalty, absolutely don't impose a heavy penalty. With Xiao Jiang's penalty success rate, I will lose 500 if I impose a heavy penalty. Fortunately, I bought 0:2, which is great! ]

[Brother Kun directly destroyed his own father's hat trick]

[Hahahahahahaha, I noticed those two Wolves players when they were setting a trap just now. I thought they were just chatting there, but it turned out they were setting a trap.]

[Xiao Jiang, the waters of the Premier League are too deep, hurry back to China to play in the Asian qualifiers! ]

[Yes, Wolves’ operation is quite cool, Chelsea must learn from it]

Although it was a match against a Championship team, Chelsea's popularity in China is unrivaled. When A Kun live broadcast the Premier League game, there were only about 6000 viewers, but the highest number of real-time online viewers for today's game even reached 4.

Free is part of the reason, Jiang Yuan is another part of the reason.

It’s a pity that Jiang Yuan was unable to help A Kun with that penalty kick just now.

It’s not that Jiang Yuan doesn’t want to help A Kun, it’s just that with a penalty kick like this, even if you ask Messi and Ronaldo to take the kick, they will fail!
In the 68th minute of the game, Mourinho used all three substitutions. Jiang Yuan, Hazard and Terry were replaced by Zouma, Cahill and Fabregas.

The original number was 4231, but after this change it became 3232.

3232, it seems that the distribution of personnel in the front and back fields is very even, but in fact, the two "2s" should be added to the "2".

3232? No, actually it's 550.

Mourinho used this substitution to tell his opponents and fans that they would give up attacking and focus on defense.

The situation was very unfavorable for A Kun, but in the eyes of gamblers, there was no essential difference between defensive formation and offensive formation. What they valued was time.

There are still 20 minutes left before the end of the game, so Chelsea still has a chance!

In the live broadcast room, A Kun looked determined and shouted out his slogan for today: "20 minutes left, Chelsea sprint!"

……

20 minutes later, Kante's long shot from outside the penalty area hit the post and the final score was fixed at 0:2.

The Wolves from the English Championship still failed to overcome the mountain of Chelsea. Of course, compared with Brentford, which is also a team in the English Championship, the score of 0:2 for the Wolves is still acceptable.

After the game, Mourinho attended a press conference and was interviewed by reporters from major newspapers. The entire interview took about 15 minutes. After the interview, Mourinho went straight back to the locker room.

In the locker room, although Wolves were shut out, Mourinho was not very happy. The first reason was that Pogba played in this game, which made Mourinho very embarrassed, and the second reason was related to the penalty in the second half.

"Lowak, Radamere, John, N'Golo, all four of you sit in front of me"

?

There were some differences among those who were called, such as Remy and Falcao, but they all sat according to Mourinho's request. The players exchanged seats with each other, and finally captain Terry sat on the bench directly opposite Mourinho.

"In the 60th minute, Eden got a penalty kick and Jiang was preparing. What were you doing at that time?"

Mourinho's tone was very cold, which made Terry, who was originally laughing, serious.

"You four are the closest to the penalty spot. Didn't your youth training coach tell you that when your teammates are preparing for the penalty, you should arrange for someone to protect the penalty spot. But what are you doing?"

In Europe's youth training for players aged 13 to 15, coaches teach players some game skills, including critical skills such as hitting the ball off-center and protecting the penalty spot. These two skills are taught in a special 55-minute course in Barcelona's La Masia training camp.

Mourinho pointed at Terry in front of him and said: "John, you are the captain, why can you let the opposing player stand on the penalty spot?"

The Portuguese were not without reason to be angry. Their team got a penalty kick, but the opponent had already stepped on the penalty spot. This is a very serious mistake in a high-level game.

Because the quality of the turf in high-level competitions is relatively good, if you dig out a small piece of the inside and then cover the outside with it, you can't see it with the naked eye.

When the penalty taker's supporting foot stepped on the damaged turf and the turf collapsed, the penalty taker was likely to sprain his ankle. Jiang Yuan was actually lucky to fall down.

"yeah"

Terry bit his lower lip and his face turned red. Remember, he, the captain, was hiding behind and chatting with Kante!
"BUT!"

A classic scene reappeared. After Mourinho finished his criticism, his whole demeanor suddenly changed.

Although Mourinho likes to find faults with his players, he still doesn't understand the basic principles. Winning the game is something worth celebrating.

"Overall, our performance in today's game was still very good. In the Champions League games in a few days, I hope you can also show the same performance as today."

Mourinho is also under great pressure. Chelsea currently has three competitions: the league, FA Cup, and Champions League. There is a possibility of winning the championship in each competition, but the possibility of winning the championship in each competition is not high.

"Go back and have a good rest today..."

dong dong!

Mourinho was halfway through his words when the wooden door of the locker room was knocked and then pushed open.

The person who came was Abu's personal bodyguard.

"Do you want me to go up now?"

Mourinho pointed his index finger to the ceiling. If I remember correctly, Abramovich should be on the second floor now.

"Tomorrow at 2pm, you need to come to Mr. Roman's villa in London."

The bodyguard had a blank expression on his face, but it didn't mean that he had any problem with Mourinho. He just needed to use this expression to show his professionalism.

"Which villa?"

"Cotswold Manor"

……

The Football Association: Football Cup quarter-final match, Chelsea vs Man United, scheduled for 1:4 on March 3.

The next afternoon, Mourinho drove his Jaguar Type to Abramovich's manor-style villa in the Cotswolds as scheduled. This is the most rural town around London. It has an ancient atmosphere and unparalleled tranquility, and the environment is much better than Cobham.

In January of this year, Abramovich bought a manor in the town for an unknown amount of pounds. This manor was used as a filming location for some British TV series and was originally a paid tourist attraction, but now you can't enter here even if you pay.

"Sir, leave it to me."

Seeing Mourinho's car coming to the door, the butler opened the door and took the initiative to greet him: "I will help you drive the car to the parking lot. Let me know before you come out and I will drive the car to the door again."

The butler was a very kind Irish uncle, and his tone made Mourinho feel very comfortable. After the Portuguese got out of the car, bodyguards immediately took him to the third floor of the manor where Abramovich was.

"Roman, you could have kept me here after the game yesterday."

Mourinho walked straight in. Although it was an unfamiliar place, he did not feel restrained.

"Well, I'm sorry to take up half of your rest time, but I think it's very necessary to pull you out to talk about this matter. There are outsiders in the stadium, but there are no outsiders here."

Abramovich pointed to a sofa opposite him and signaled Mourinho to not be polite.

You're welcome? Mourinho certainly wasn't polite, and after sitting on the sofa he poured himself a glass of wine.

"Patus?"

Mourinho looked at the big red words on the bottle and was immediately disenchanted with the red wine in the glass: "It's still Patus 1964, but I really don't like this red wine."

"Come on, change the red wine for our special one!"

Abu smiled and raised his hand. Immediately, someone took away the 1964 Petrus on the coffee table and replaced it with a bottle of Cheval Blanc. Although the price was not as exaggerated as that of Petrus 1964, after all, the best is the one that suits you.

The butler replaced a new wine glass for Mourinho and helped him pour the wine. Abramovich opposite him was still drinking his Patos.

In the UK, if two people sitting opposite each other do not drink the same bottle of red wine, it is considered a bit impolite, but this custom does not restrict Mourinho and Abramovich.

"We won yesterday and Paul Pogba played a key role"

Abu said with a smile and took a sip. Immediately, an assistant took the glass from Abu and helped the Russian boss put it on the table at the side.

really!

Mourinho thought to himself that he and Mourinho could not avoid talking about Hazard every time they talked last season, and Pogba could not be avoided every time they talked this season. Every season has its own controversial topics, and Mourinho is used to it.

In the 25th round of the Premier League match against newly promoted Burnley, Mourinho did not play Pogba, and the team lost 0-2 away.

In yesterday's FA Cup match against Wolves, Abramovich forced Mourinho to start Pogba, and Chelsea finally won 2-0 away.

What do the results of these two games indicate?
This shows that Abu is the right one!

"Well... this matter is complicated."

Mourinho murmured that he could no longer hide it at this point.

In order to gain absolute say in tactical arrangements, Mourinho revealed everything Pogba did in the locker room.

He told the coach’s arrangement to his face that it was shit.

This alone gave Mourinho reason to keep Pogba on the bench, not to mention that the Frenchman also leaked information in the locker room.

"What can I do? There is nothing I can do."

crunch
Mourinho moved the sofa back, then stood up and looked angrily at Abramovich in front of him, who was also silent.

Yes, from Abu's point of view, when a capitalist encounters workers who disobey him, should he continue to use them?
Pogba destroyed Mourinho's absolute voice in the locker room. Mourinho kept Pogba on the bench, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

After a debate between the two, Mourinho insisted on his professionalism, which made Abramovich very uncomfortable.

"if!"

Mourinho put three fingers on the coffee table: "If Pogba does not leave Chelsea in this summer window, he will only be a substitute in Chelsea in the future"

!!!

Abramovich was about to persuade him, but he fell silent after hearing Mourinho's words.

My goodness, I thought I could still play the role of a lubricant in the middle, but I didn’t expect that the conflict between the Portuguese and the French had reached a point where it could not be reconciled.

As long as Pogba stays in the club, he will be a substitute. It is a shame to let a superstar worth 8000 million euros play as a substitute.

It sounds a bit outrageous, but this is exactly what Mourinho would do.

"are you serious?"

Out of suspicion, Abramovich asked, and Mourinho replied: "Of course"

"..."

call--

Abramovich took a long breath and finally gave his reply: "I will arrange to sell Paul this summer, but this deal will cause us to lose at least 3000 million euros. You have to think it through."

"3000 million? No way."

Mourinho expressed a different view on Abramovich's prediction: "Paul is in good form this season. We can sell him to Manchester United. They need this kind of midfielder. If we can sell him to Manchester United, we may not even lose money."

When Mourinho heard that Abramovich was willing to sell Pogba, he immediately gave a plan.

As he said, what Manchester United needs most this season is an all-around midfielder like Pogba, and Manchester United itself is interested in Pogba, so there is no big problem in selling him for more than 1 million, and Chelsea may not even lose a single point.

The discussion came to a conclusion and Mourinho said goodbye and left the Cotswold manor.

"Connor"

Abu in the room raised his head, and the assistant leaned over: "Mr. Roman"

"Let Marina put Pogba on the trade market and see what other clubs offer."

"Sir, if you are not in a hurry, I suggest you take a look at this first."

As he spoke, assistant Connor took out his cell phone.

The Transfermarket: Update on the winter transfer window value of 2016-17 season, three Chelsea players exceed million!

When Abramovich saw the news, he was stunned. He clicked to see the details. The ranking was from back to front, so the first person he saw was Pogba with red hair.

Rank 3 for Chelsea: Paul Pogba
Player value: 100M (Feb.20th)
The front page headline of World Sports: 1 million euros! French genius joins the battle for the world's third place!
Jamie Redknapp in the Daily Mail column - His (Pogba) talent is phenomenal. If Paul's extreme personality can be controlled, he has a good chance of becoming the top midfielder in today's football. Chelsea needs to train Paul well, which is a challenge and an opportunity for the club.
