Chapter 437 The sharpest spear of the national football team
Football Expert: The grouping results of the 2017-18 Champions League are officially released. Chelsea and Real Madrid are both facing a death group, and Porto has a perfect B: Shakhtar Donetsk, Paris, Anderlecht, Celtic
Group C: Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Roma, Qarabag
Group G: Monaco, Porto, Besiktas, RB Leipzig
Group H: Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool, APOEL
The Champions League draw is over, and Chelsea, a second-tier team, has been drawn against the Bundesliga champions Bayern among a group of first-tier giants. …
However, the first-tier teams are not the most important. The most important things for Chelsea are the third-tier teams in their group.
The third team in Chelsea's group is Roma, which is the strongest team in the third tier. The presence of Bayern, Chelsea and Roma also turns Group C into a group of death.
It is hard to say which of these three teams will definitely beat whom. Roma can beat Bayern, but Chelsea may not be able to beat Roma!
As soon as the group situation came out, the Chelsea team began to get anxious.
Fortunately, Chelsea still maintains a perfect record in the league this season. Apart from Manchester United, who have an incredible goal difference, Chelsea is currently ranked second in the league.
Within a few hours, the football expert was overwhelmed by the news of the Champions League group stage draw. In addition to the draw result, there was also a prediction of the promotion situation by the famous players of each major team.
Just when fans of all major teams were feeling the pressure, a newspaper that shouldn't have been there showed up.
The Sun's front-page headline: Jiang and his girlfriend Karimova's son was born on the day of the match between China and Uzbekistan. Reporters photographed Jiang running from the first floor of the villa to the second floor at a very fast speed.
The Sun's news has always been based on evidence. This time, while publishing the news in the newspaper, the editor-in-chief also posted a video on The Sun's ins.
This video is used to verify the authenticity of the news, but what they verified was not the first half of the news, but the second half.
This is the perspective of the camera placed above the bushes. In the camera, Jiang Yuan got down from the passenger seat and then ran directly to the second floor of the villa.
It was exactly the same scene as described by the newspaper reporter!
[Yes, this is very Sun Newspaper]
[What a pity! If only The Sun had been in Wuhan the day before yesterday, they might have been able to take a picture of Pereira shivering in the car. Fuck that stupid referee.]
[My son is out now. How can I tell him whether he is a Chinese citizen? ]
[Do I even need to think about this? What’s so good about becoming a Uzbek citizen?]
[Yes, the Chinese national football team has added another strong player! ]
[Xiao Jiang was born on the day of the competition and didn’t rush back. This professional attitude is really good! ]
[Xiao Jiang's professional attitude has always been impeccable. The match against Qatar will start on Saturday, the last round! ]
[Didn’t Jiang Yuan raise China’s oil prices last time? Will he do the same again this time?]
[Who can be blamed for Qatar's poor performance? ]
[Those who don’t have a car are still here watching the joke, while those who have a car have already filled up their gas tanks in advance! ]
The number of active users on Dongqiudi has been extremely high in recent days. The main reason is that the Asian qualifiers have reached the final stage and everyone is paying close attention to the situation of the Chinese national football team.
2018 years!
Can we launch a Northern Expedition against Russia in 2018?
Jiang Yuan stayed in London for less than a day, then rented a private jet and flew directly to Doha.
The trip was kept strictly confidential, and no reporter or fan except the Sun paparazzi saw Jiang Yuan boarding the plane at Heathrow Airport.
……
The Chinese national football team’s training session has already started this afternoon. Due to time constraints, Jiang Yuan did not return to the hotel but went directly to the training ground.
"Brother Yuan!"
Wearing a sports suit and a hat, he appeared at the side of the training ground. The players of the Chinese national football team recognized Jiang Yuan just by looking at his figure without having to look at the face under the hat.
"It's training time!"
Mourinho shouted: "Lei, how do you run forward? Just run when you see the position, don't hesitate!"
"Liao, I know the pass needs to be fast, but you also need to observe. Don't wait until the striker has crossed the offside line before passing the ball. This is useless. The referee is not blind, ok?"
Mourinho scolded all the players who were distracted on the field, then walked slowly towards Jiang Yuan with his hands in his pockets: "Have you seen your son?"
"Of course, if I hadn't seen it, I definitely wouldn't have come back so early."
"Hahaha, bless you, now go change your clothes quickly"
Mourinho wanted Jiang Yuan to hurry up so that he could catch up with the next round of training match after warming up for 10 minutes.
Jiang Yuan took a look and saw that the locker room of the stadium was a little distance away, so he asked the bodyguard to put his backpack on the ground and changed his clothes on the spot.
Mourinho took a look at the situation on the field, then stood next to Jiang Yuan and asked: "How does it feel to be a father?"
"Well, I can't tell."
Jiang Yuan took off his shirt and pants and stepped on the grass barefoot: "Fuck, this grass is so hot!"
"This is Qatar, of course it's hot in the summer. You'll know it during training. You have to drink water after 30 minutes, otherwise you won't be able to hold on."
Mourinho gave Jones a look, and the latter threw a bottle of mineral water over to him. Mourinho then handed the water to Jiang Yuan.
"Ok, thanks."
Jiang Yuan took a big gulp and then washed his slightly hot hands with water.
“It feels amazing”
"What does it feel like?"
"It's the feeling of being a father. Isn't that the question you asked me just now? I have forgotten what I was thinking at the time, or maybe I didn't think about anything."
It was very hot in Qatar, so Jiang Yuan gave up his mid-calf socks and chose a pair of white Nike socks instead.
He grabbed the training suit with both hands and prepared to put it on his head. Before doing this, Jiang Yuan said a few words to Mourinho: "I actually wanted to talk to him at that time, fuck"
"Hahaha, you're already stupid!"
Mourinho smiled and turned his head away, then turned back: "I think you need a maternity leave, hahaha!"
"juesu!"
After changing into training clothes and shorts, Jiang Yuan didn't tidy up the rest of the clothes. He just threw them on the grass and prepared to start warming up.
"You need to put your clothes away, they'll get really hot in the sun!"
"Help me with it! Thanks."
……
At the start of the first training session in Doha, the real-time temperature is now 39 degrees Celsius, and it will be this temperature not only today, but also for the next two days and even on the day of the game.
Because the temperature was too high, Mourinho directly cancelled the physical training content and focused on skills and tactics.
"In the next few days, we will still play offensively, 4231"
"What about counterattack?"
Jiang Yuan asked, but got a disdainful look from Mourinho: "If we still need to defend and counterattack against Qatar, then I think we can just give up the World Cup next year."
Mourinho has a unique skill in counter-attacking. The Portuguese knows that he also has such a skill, but because he knows counter-attacking very well, he will not use this tactic against Qatar.
What they need is to get all three points, not to play it safe.
The Chinese national football team is now firmly in the top three of Group A, so there is no point in playing it safe.
As for training defensive counterattack tactics, there are still more than nine months until next year's World Cup.
A top team can train a lineup in one and a half months, so nine months is enough time for Mourinho to work on it.
On the day of the game, with one and a half hours left before the start of the game, the Chinese national football team announced the starting lineup for the game. Except for an adjustment to the left back, no other players were changed.
Jiang Yuan is still on the list of starting players, which makes the fans feel relieved.
However, just half an hour later, the match between South Korea and Uzbekistan ended. South Korea, playing at home, defeated Uzbekistan, which defended desperately, with a score of 1:0.
Because South Korea won the game, the Chinese team officially secured the third place in Group A and confirmed its entry into the play-offs.
Afterwards, the Chinese men's football team also started their activities.
Dragon Team: Due to a technical failure, the staff released the wrong starting lineup before the game. The actual starting lineup is as follows.
The fans looked down in confusion.
Sure enough, Jiang Yuan became a substitute!
Away game + no hope of direct promotion + tight schedule, these three conditions combined together, if Jiang Yuan was not in Qatar now, he might not even come to the tenth round.
In the locker room half an hour before the game, Mourinho once again emphasized the tactics of today's game to the players, and after finishing his speech, he secretly ran out of the locker room.
He made a phone call to Tuchel, who was coaching at Chelsea.
"Ding! Why did you call me?"
"Hey, Thomas, my good friend!" Mourinho's eyes lit up. He calculated the time and it should be 12 noon in London. Tuchel should answer the phone. Sure enough, this guy really answered the phone.
"No, Jose, remember, I am not your good friend"
Tuchel is very ruthless.
Because he had a premonition, an ominous premonition.
Are the Portuguese going to do something weird again?
"Oh, it's okay, Thomas, I treat you as a friend anyway. Now, listen to me, I just checked, the match between Everton and Chelsea will start in a few days. Everton is a very strong opponent. You should know that we almost didn't play against Everton last season!"
"Well, don't hang up yet. Listen to me. I'll let Jiang be a substitute in today's national team match, or even not play at all. Wait until September 9th. It should be September 29th for you. When we play in the Champions League on September 9th, you can also let Jiang be a substitute, or let him come back early. How do you think?"
Mourinho had his own plan. After the match with Uzbekistan, he and Brown studied the schedule of the Asian qualifying play-offs.
The third place in Group A will play against the third place in Group B in a two-legged match, and the last World Cup ticket in Asia will be decided by the total score. The match will be held in early October.
According to FIFA rules, Mourinho can let Jiang Yuan return to the national team to report on October 10, but Mourinho is definitely not satisfied with this time.
These two games will determine the next five years. Mourinho hopes Jiang Yuan can come back as soon as possible!
Tuchel did not rush to answer Mourinho's suggestion, but remained silent for a while, but not for too long.
The German is thinking now!
"I don't think it's good for Chelsea"
Tuchel replied.
"No, it will definitely be good for you, Everton. You should have studied those defenders of Everton. Everton's defense is very strong."
“I think we are better.”
"I know, but what if, because of Jiang's absence, you draw with Everton and lose 2 points. Thomas, listen, the conflicts within Chelsea have weakened now, and the players you have are the best in the Premier League. This is your championship season. For the league points, you can sacrifice the Champions League."
Mourinho's words silenced Tuchel again.
Judging from the first few games of the season, both Manchester City and Manchester United are in very good form this season.
Although Manchester City is only ranked in the middle of the standings now, Tuchel and Mourinho can see that Manchester City is very strong and their backwardness is only temporary.
Similarly, Chelsea's lead was only temporary.
Tuchel switched to the memo on his phone and looked at the schedule for the Champions League match at the end of September.
The opponent is Qarabakh, the champion of last season's Azerbaijan Super League.
What level is this team at?
Chelsea can probably beat the opponent with just 10 players.
hiss--
If you think about it carefully, it seems that Chelsea is not losing out by doing this?
“Is this a gentleman’s agreement?”
"certainly"
……
"China Media Group, China Media Group, good evening, dear audience friends, here..."
"We can see that China's star player Jiang Yuan is sitting on the bench. He is watching the situation on the field very seriously. Judging from Jiang Yuan's current appearance, Mourinho will probably let him play as soon as the second half starts!"
In the 30th minute of the first half, China led Qatar by one goal thanks to Wu Lei's goal from the penalty area.
The director's camera turned to Jiang Yuan.
"Jiang Yuan hasn't started warming up yet, but the temperature in Qatar is quite hot. Although the sun is about to set, it's still a little over 30 degrees. At this temperature, the players don't need too much warm-up time. Mourinho may want Jiang Yuan to warm up later."
It's the 40th minute.
"Zhang Yuning and Wei Shihao stood up from the bench. These two forwards are all overseas players. Although they are young, they have very good impact. The camera is turned to Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan, haven't you started warming up yet?"
"Jiang Yuan, you haven't warmed up yet!"
"Jiang Yuan, the first half of the game is over, but Jiang Yuan is still sitting on the bench. Although the Chinese team is leading by one goal, isn't it a bit too dangerous for Mourinho to do this?"
Just as the director said, Jiang Yuan was still sitting on the bench after the first half of the game ended.
Sat there for 45 minutes.
At this time, the director should have given the camera to Wu Lei who scored a goal in the first half, but he did not do so. He chose to give the camera to Mourinho.
The Portuguese player came to the away team's fans area and received a cheering board and a signature pen from the fans.
"Huh? Why don't you go back to the locker room? What is Mourinho going to do?"
Mourinho simply spoke a few words to the translator, who then took a pen and began writing on the back of the cheering board.
After finishing, Mourinho took the cheering board, hugged it with both hands, and showed the back to the camera.
Looking closely, I saw that the words were written in Chinese.
[The second half won’t start, run quickly]
"What does this mean? Does it mean that Jiang Yuan will not play?"
"Well, it can only be Jiang Yuan."
"Hahaha, what is Mourinho doing? I don't quite understand what's going on."
"Let me remind you of the penalty kick in the last game."
"Oh, I get it! Mourinho feels that the Chinese team has been treated unfairly!"
He Wei couldn't directly say something like "AFC wants China to play more games", but he could say "the Chinese team was treated unfairly."
The fans don't need anyone to interpret it for them, everyone can understand it.
【? ? ? ? 】
[Is Mourinho so tough? Wasn’t he fined 2 last week? ]
[2 RMB is nothing to Mourinho. I just don’t know if he will be fined for doing this today]
[Awesome, directly rebelling against the AFC, right? The AFC wants ratings, so Mourinho simply doesn’t let Jiang Yuan play, hahahaha]
[It just so happened that South Korea won the game. If South Korea had drawn, Mourinho would not have played like this. This wave can only be said to be the right time, right place and right people]
[Mourinho raised his sign in the midfield ! ]
[Mourinho will be suspended for two consecutive violations, right? Will this not affect the play-offs? 】
[The AFC wants ratings. Mourinho is banned and the ratings of the play-offs will be low. And what if the Chinese national football team fails to qualify for the World Cup? Won’t the AFC be killed by FIFA? ]
[Jiang Yuan is not coming up, let’s go.]
[Brothers, if Jiang Yuan doesn't play but still wants to watch the game, you can send me a private message. I have a pirated version. Please don't help the AFC gain ratings.]
【Unite, brothers! Piracy can start now! 】
It’s been just over a week since Zhang Linpeng’s penalty, but the fans are still angry.
Fans have always been a very united group (referring to fans of the same home team). Mourinho held a sign in his hand, obviously intending to sing a different tune from the AFC.
Chinese fans must follow, as this is a resistance to that empty penalty kick and also a protection for Mourinho.
Because of Mourinho's move, the number of real-time comments on the football emperor's half-time report exceeded 10 in just 2 minutes.
There is Mourinho, the sharpest spear, and there is Li Yi, the solidest prison.
There are so many talented coaches in the Chinese men's football team!
……
After completing these tasks, Mourinho walked back to the locker room with his hands in his pockets, and the players inside had already started to make a noise.
"Fuck, so damn handsome"
Zhang Yuning clapped his hands and cheered, while Wu Lei on the side was still confused: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"You went back to the locker room too early, what a shame!"
Mourinho opened his arms and hugged every male football player standing near him: "You know, I can already imagine the expressions of the AFC officials"
"Give you a penalty, I'll give you a penalty!"
……
