Chapter 432 I'll answer the phone for you
"boom!"Jiang Yuan made a shot from the outside of the penalty area. Because he made a realistic fake move before the shot, the goalkeeper was unable to react to the position of Jiang Yuan's shot.
Heaton took a gamble and made a save at the near corner of the goal when he saw Jiang Yuan kicking his foot towards the far corner.
Snapped!
Jiang Yuan's shot was blocked, and Ibrahimovic in the penalty area seized the opportunity to rush over and successfully controlled the ball before Benjamin.
“Behind, behind!”
Hazard shouted at Ibrahimovic, who protected the ball with his back and then set up the shot for Hazard.
"Snapped!"
With a powerful shot, Hazard's close-range shot left Heaton with no way out, and the ball finally flew into Burnley's goal.
"Goal! Hazard!"
"Although Chelsea did not play any cooperation, Ibrahimovic used his sense of smell to grab the ball that was saved by Heaton, and finally successfully passed it to Hazard."
Jiang Yuan likes to do a follow-up shot after the ball is saved by the goalkeeper. However, there are many people in Chelsea who have excellent sense of goal, and Ibrahimovic also has this ability.
In the 74th minute of the game, Chelsea, playing at home, extended the score to 2:0, with Ibrahimovic and Hazard scoring their first league goals of the season respectively.
After the second goal was scored, Tuchel finally felt relieved. In fact, after the end of the first half, the German had been in a rather nervous mood. From a professional perspective, Burnley might have the ability to equalize the score, but fortunately, the Chelsea players on the field did not give Burnley a chance to equalize the score.
"How's the record going?"
Tuchel glanced down at the laptop on Love's lap, who nodded and said: "The midfield and backfield are very divided, and the distribution of weight on the offensive end is still a bit problematic."
“I’ll deal with this later.”
When Tuchel saw that the grass in Burnley's half on the screen was all red, he knew that they had already won the game!
"You can fight back! You can fight back! Fuck, go forward and be bold, okay?"
Dyche was directing the players on the field, originally thinking the score would be 1:1, but suddenly it was 2:0. This huge psychological gap made it difficult for the Burnley coach to accept.
The Burnley players on the field did as Dyche asked, but did not achieve any substantial results. It is true that Chelsea's defense is very loose, but every time Burnley plays the ball from behind, there will always be players in Chelsea's backcourt who stand up to resolve the crisis, making Burnley less and less confident as they play, and in the end they don't know what they should do.
In the 83rd minute, Tuchel made his second substitution of the game.
"Well, here they come! Tuchel's substitution, Umtiti and Christensen come up together!"
As expected, Umtiti replaced Gary Cahill, while Christensen replaced Marcos Alonso.
At this point, Chelsea's central defender lineup this season has been almost determined. If the players' strength does not change significantly, Christensen, Zouma, and Alonso should be the starting three central defenders. The substitutes for these three starters are Umtiti, Terry, Cahill, and a David Luiz.
Chelsea didn't have many defenders to use last season, but this season they have more defenders.
"River!"
Umtiti, who had just come on the court, shouted and handed a note in his pocket to Jiang Yuan and William respectively.
【Defense】
damn!
Jiang Yuan cursed inwardly. Burnley's rhythm was obviously disrupted in the final seconds. If they had continued to attack, they might have been able to widen the score difference to 3 goals.
But unfortunately, Tuchel had no intention of expanding the score. Instead of widening the score with a bottom-tier team like Burnley, it would be better to take advantage of this sure-win game to better adjust the lineup.
Chelsea will face Tottenham again in the second round, and must take this opportunity to practice their defense!
"Umtiti, this player is from Barcelona, and like his defender partner Zouma, he is from France. Time is running out, but we can still observe Umtiti's status this season through this game..."
“Beep, beep, beep—!!!”
At the end of the game, Chelsea finally took the score of 2:0. Jiang Yuan got a chance for a direct free kick in the stoppage time. Unfortunately, his free kick feeling was not very good today. He failed to control the elevator ball and it went directly onto the north stands.
"It was just a little bit, what a pity!"
Tuchel came over and shook hands with Jiang Yuan, who shook his shoulders and said, "Maybe it would be better if I didn't focus so much on the angle?"
"That's for later, we've already won today!"
Tuchel put his arm around Jiang Yuan's shoulders and then gave a thumbs up to the stands.
At this time, at 12 o'clock in the evening in Hebei, China, Mourinho, who was watching the game with Brown and Jones in the living room at home, pointed at the TV screen and said, "What is this? What does this thumb mean?"
Brown frowned: "That they played well in today's game?"
"No, how is that possible!"
Mourinho pounded his fist on the sofa pillow with one hand: "I know who Thomas is. He is laughing at me now. He is using my people. He used my people to win the game!"
"Well, Jose, I think I might need to remind you that you and Chelsea are probably done."
"I know. I'm talking about Jiang. Jiang is on the Chinese national team. Do you know what Thomas was thinking when he gave a thumbs-up?"
Mourinho looked Brown and Jones in the eye: "It was a taunt. I could imagine what he was saying. He was saying, 'Wow, your players are really useful. They move fast and accurately.' You know, Thomas definitely thinks so. The Germans are like this. I know them very well."
"Don't you feel it?"
Brown and Jones looked at each other, and finally Brown shook his head: "Jose, I think you are a little too sensitive"
"No, it's just that you didn't see it. His ridicule was directed at my face!"
Mourinho gritted his teeth.
Damn it, why do club competitions exist? Wouldn’t it be good for players to focus on playing for the national team?
'Bad Tuchel'
Mourinho took a sip of the red wine on the table and pointed at Tuchel's head on the screen: "He doesn't know how to use Jiang correctly at all. How can he let the players play the whole game!"
"You also let Jiang play the whole game before..." Brown reminded in a low voice.
"No, I know, but I was in a special situation at that time, so it's understandable!"
"... OK, Jose, I think you are right. Should we let Jiang come back as soon as possible? The ninth round of the preliminaries will start soon."
"Leave this to me"
Mourinho raised his red wine glass and said he would choose a suitable time to call Jiang Yuan!
"Do you think Jiang will agree to come back early?"
Brown was talking to Jones next to him in a low voice. Jones took out his mobile phone and took a quick look at Chelsea's schedule. Finally, he replied: "If Jose can get Jiang back three days earlier, I am willing to lick his asshole."
"What are you licking him for?"
"Wow, you good!"
Brown gave Jones a thumbs up. This thumbs up had no ambiguity. It was pure respect, the purest respect.
……
After the game, Tuchel took Ibrahimovic, who scored the team's first league goal, to the press room. In order to meet the requirements of newspaper media, Tuchel also brought Umtiti, who had just made his debut.
The reporter asked a lot of questions, ranging from the team's stable starting lineup to Tuchel's goals for the new season, and finally asked about the next game against Tottenham.
"You beat Tottenham in the Community Shield a week ago, and a week later, you are facing this London team in the second round of the league. Thomas, as the head coach of Chelsea, from your perspective, can Chelsea complete the winning streak against Tottenham?"
"well..."
Tuchel frowned, looked away and thought for a moment before turning his head back: "Since I started coaching Chelsea, I have had great confidence in this team. I think we will win. Of course, games are not something that will go as I think they will. Tottenham will definitely make adjustments after losing the game."
"I can't guarantee that we can win the second round, but I can guarantee that the next league game against Tottenham will be more exciting than the Community Shield."
……
The Times – After winning their first victory of the season, Chelsea players celebrated in a bar. They usually go home at 2 or 3 in the morning, but this time they went home just after 12 o'clock. Reporters at the scene photographed Terry and Hazard with bad expressions. Their celebration seemed to be restricted by Tuchel's coaching staff.
FA - After the first round of the league, Manchester United, who defeated West Ham United 4-0, topped the league standings. Lukaku (Manchester United), Munie (Huddersfield) and Welbeck (Arsenal) topped the league scorer list with 2 goals.
Betway official: Although he failed to score in the first round of the league, Jiang's Golden Boot odds are still ranked first. General Manager Gray said that his performance in the first two seasons has conquered a large number of website users.
The headline of China Football News: At 8:14 pm on August 2, the Chinese national football team started a new round of training for the Asian qualifiers in Hebei. The training started earlier than originally scheduled, which made some Chinese Super League clubs dissatisfied. People familiar with the matter said that Mourinho had obtained great power from the Chinese Football Association, and the clubs' opposition did not play a practical role.
Pinned by the Football Emperor: The Chinese national football team announced a new training list. Wei Shihao was not selected due to club situation, and Changchun Yatai player He Chao was recruited as his replacement.
On August 8, after finishing the morning training, Chelsea players came to the cafeteria for lunch one after another.
Pogba was eating his spaghetti and suddenly put down his fork.
"what happened?"
Hazard looked up at Pogba in front of him, who shook his head: "No, that's not the feeling, that's not what I want to eat"
"what is that?"
"The black square, that's the one..."
Pogba formed a circle with his right index finger and thumb and showed it to Jiang Yuan: "Jiang, you know, it's that thing, square, black"
Jiang Yuan frowned: "Tongfu?"
"Yeah, that's it!"
Pogba pointed at Jiang Yuan and said, "I want to eat that. Although I have only eaten black tofu twice, I know that it is definitely better than this macaroni. Do you understand?"
“I understand this”
Zuma forked a piece of salmon and dotted it with Belgian tartar sauce on Hazard's plate.
"This is for eating hamburgers," Hazard reminded.
“Hey, they’re all the same.”
Zuma put the fish into his mouth. This was not the first time he had eaten salmon with tartar sauce. The fact that he was willing to eat it this way definitely meant that the taste was acceptable or even quite good.
"I support Paul, I want to eat that thing too, and, um... crabs, I haven't eaten crabs much in Cobham. We eat these things every day, we should eat something else."
Pogba's words resonated with Zouma, who in turn resonated with the other players.
In the UK, where the taste buds are cursed, how can one eat black tofu and big crabs? This is a question worth thinking about.
"Chinatown, I will ask people to find a few chefs in Chinatown." Pogba finally came up with an idea: "I will find chefs from Chinatown to cook at the base, and then let Jiang taste the food. If the taste is right, then we will let the club sign a contract with him."
"What? I'm not from Changsha, and I don't know if the tofu is authentic..."
“It’s all China anyway, it’s the same.”
Zuma patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "I think this matter can be considered, because these things really have no taste."
Jiang Yuan discovered a serious problem, that is, after the trip to China, his teammates' requirements for food taste had obviously become higher.
Zuma's bowl of macaroni had so much salad dressing in it and he said it had no taste!
"Why not just look for them in China and book them a flight ticket?"
Jiang Yuan did what he said. He placed his cell phone flat on the dining table, put food into his mouth with his left hand, and tapped on the phone with his right hand.
I created my Weibo account a year ago. Although I haven’t used it much, I still have more than 2000 million followers.
Of course, the number of fans on Weibo is too fake, so just take a look at it.
"What are you doing?"
Tuchel looked at the players sticking their heads out to look at Jiang Yuan's phone, and couldn't help but walk over.
"Jiang is going to start recruiting, we need new chefs"
"A new chef?"
Tuchel put his hands on Zouma and Alonso's shoulders and saw Jiang Yuan typing Chinese characters on his mobile phone keyboard.
At this moment, the screen of Jiang Yuan's mobile phone turned and a call came in. Jiang Yuan liked to use real names to note friends in the address book, so everyone saw the name of the caller.
Jose
"Oh, sorry!"
Jiang Yuan said sorry, then picked up his phone and prepared to walk to the door where there was no one to answer the call, but Tuchel stopped Jiang Yuan directly.
"Wait, wait, it's okay, just answer the phone here."
Tuchel had his signature smile on his face and looked very polite.
"..."
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and finally replied: "This, there is no need, I can just talk to Jose, or I can answer the phone later?"
"No, no need. Believe me, I have always had a good relationship with Mourinho. So, let me help you answer the call."
"What? No! That's not necessary. I can handle it myself."
Tuchel, who was originally suppressing Alonso, stood up and reached out for Jiang Yuan's mobile phone: "Jose and I haven't talked for a long time, so let's finish talking first, and then I will give you the phone"
After saying that, Tuchel took Jiang Yuan's phone, and Jiang Yuan himself did not refuse.
He is confused now!
Tuchel took a look at the content displayed on the phone and then clicked to answer the call.
"Jiang, you should be having lunch in the cafeteria now. Come, listen to me..."
Tuchel curled his lips: "Listen to you, listen to what you say?"
"..."
"Hello? Hello Mr. Jose?"
"drop!"
wow！
Tuchel shook his phone and looked at Jiang Yuan embarrassedly: "He seems to not want to talk to me"
"What did he say?"
“Nothing”
Tuchel returned the phone to Jiang Yuan: "Why don't you call him back?"
amount……
Jiang Yuan thought about it carefully and finally decided to forget it.
"Next time, I'll call him next time!"
Mourinho hung up the phone on his own initiative, and the players' attention returned to the Chinese chef. Zouma slammed the table and urged, "Come on Jiang, we still have one more recruitment to complete!"
On the other side, Mourinho, who was in the head coach's office, put down his phone, took a deep breath, and then looked at Brown in front of him: "Jiang was imprisoned by Tuchel!"
……
8:29 . on August 10th, Beijing time.
"CCTV, CCTV, here is the live broadcast of the second round of the 2017-2018 Premier League, Tottenham vs. Chelsea. We can see that the players of both teams are ready in the player tunnel."
In the camera, players from Chelsea and Tottenham are standing together. It is a London derby match and players from both sides are in a rather nervous state.
“Come on, man!”
Kyle Walker hugged Dier and then hugged Alderweireld. These were his old teammates during his time at Tottenham. They even lifted the trophy together last season. In less than three months, they will meet in opposing camps.
"You can't hold back now!"
Terry put his hand on Walker's shoulder.
"Hahaha, there's no way we can hold back. We will win this game, ok?"
After saying this, Walker clenched his right fist and made a hitting motion towards Dell, and Dell symbolically took two steps back: "Oh, fuck"
Jiang Yuan looked at Walker who was joking with his former teammate in front of him, and turned his head to find Trippier looking at him. After Jiang Yuan's gaze shifted over, Trippier quickly turned his head away, leaving Jiang Yuan confused.
He shouldn't have done anything to offend Trippier, right?
Returning their attention to the game, Jiang Yuan and Hazard hid aside and whispered to each other, while Kane put his hand on Trippier's shoulder without knowing when: "Are you scared?"
"Afraid, no, no, I'm not"
Trippier shook his head repeatedly, and Kane nodded doubtfully: "It's good that you are not afraid. In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of. He got a hat trick in the last game. His luck in God's hands has run out."
"No, he is Chinese, he is not under God's control!"
Trippier told Kane a little-known fact, and the latter spread his hands and said: "So you are just afraid, come on, why, just a striker. Oh, are you afraid of being scolded by Mauricio (Pochettino)? It doesn't matter, just do your own thing, he won't say anything to you."
"I know, I know, Harry, thank you, but I don't need you to stress about this for me, I can handle it. Trust me, I'm not scared"
After Trippier finished speaking, he walked up to Jiang Yuan and greeted him. After shaking hands, he gave Kane a look, and the latter gave Trippier a thumbs up.
……
"Beep!"
"Okay, with the referee's whistle, the game begins now!"
"Although the season has just begun, this is already the second time the two teams have met. In the Community Shield final two weeks ago, Chelsea beat Tottenham 3-1 thanks to Jiang Yuan's hat trick."
"But unlike the Community Shield final, today is Tottenham's home game."
As Huang Jianxiang said, today is Tottenham's home game, but this home game is not a home game in the full sense.
Today, May 5th, the demolition of Tottenham's original home stadium, White Hart Lane, officially began. The new stadium is still under construction. During this period, Tottenham's home games will be held at Wembley Stadium, which is the venue for today's game.
"Glory glory Tottenham Hotspur!"
"Glory glory Tottenham Hotspur!"
"..."
There are 8 Tottenham fans sitting in the 7 seats. Today, Tottenham fans can be said to have surrounded Wembley Stadium.
The home stadium has changed, but what should we do if we still want the fans in the stadium to feel the atmosphere of the home team?
The answer is that as long as the fans give the same or even more cheers as before, the Tottenham players on the field can treat Wembley as their home ground.
It is now the 7th minute of the first half. Kante, Pogba and Zouma formed a French triangle defense line, directly locking Kane who was dribbling the ball at the center of the triangle.
Kane knew that he could not continue dribbling the ball, so he took the initiative to seek cooperation with Eriksen on the left. Eriksen ran over to support his teammates. At this moment, Pogba suddenly changed the direction of his running and stepped in front of Eriksen.
fuck!
Pogba's thigh blocked the way and Eriksen, who braked suddenly, fell directly to the ground.
Beep!
The referee called a defensive foul on Pogba, and Chelsea players complained to the referee immediately.
"Our people took the position first."
Hazard pointed at Pogba with both hands and argued with Anthony Taylor: "This is definitely not a foul. Pogba got the position first."
"Please leave!"
Taylor did not accept the complaint from Chelsea and directly drove Hazard away. Hazard, who failed in his complaint, could only helplessly spread his hands to Pogba.
"You're too anxious!"
Zouma shouted from behind, saying that the ball was still far away from the goal just now, and Pogba only needed to block Eriksen's pass back, and the foul was really an unnecessary action.
"it's okay no problem!"
Kante put his hands behind his back and signaled the tall players in the team to quickly form a human wall.
Eriksen's free kick is no joke!
