Chapter 153 Community Shield Final, London Derby! Cobham training base, training match."You can't get through it!" Hazard dribbled the ball on the left, but was tackled by Jiang Yuan who was returning to defense. Hazard, whose ball was intercepted, was mocked by Azpilicueta: "Eden, how come you can't even get past a striker? Did you go to the French House for a drink last night?" Hazard shook his head: "Humph, of course not, I just didn't notice it just now, otherwise I would have been able to avoid it." As a result, Azpilicueta didn't buy it at all and continued: "Listen to me, Eden, if you keep going like this, you will die from alcohol sooner or later! You Belgians and Germans, you drink so much beer with such a high alcohol content!" Hazard ignored Azpilicueta's teasing and signaled Ivanovic to pass the ball from the sideline, who decisively passed the ball to Hazard. "Go back quickly!" Jiang Yuan shouted, Azpilicueta lost his position when he ran out just now! Unfortunately, what Jiang Yuan was most worried about happened. Hazard turned around to receive the ball and reached the left bottom line almost unhindered. He then cut diagonally into the penalty area, waiting for the opponent's defense to shrink before sending an unexpected inverted triangle to Oscar who was waiting behind him. The latter's long-range shot penetrated the goal defended by Courtois. "shit!" Azpilicueta felt a little guilty. He didn't return to defense in time because he wanted to say a few more words. He could be said to be the war criminal of this ball.
Seeing this, Mourinho walked into the stadium in his leather shoes and said, "Cesar, are you sleepwalking? Did you not get enough sleep last night? Do you need to go back to sleep for a while?" Hearing Mourinho's criticism, Azpilicueta quickly waved his hands: "Jose, I don't think it's necessary, it was my mistake just now" "Alright, alright, come here! Beep!" Assistant coach Brown blew the whistle and players from both teams gathered in front of Mourinho. The Portuguese needed to make a summary of this ball. "Sir, it's my problem, I take responsibility for this ball" Before Mourinho could say anything, Azpilicueta was the first to step forward and take the blame. It was indeed the case. As a full-back, he should have returned to defense earlier and not given Hazard the opportunity to enter the penalty area. "Don't make any noise!" Mourinho rolled his eyes at Azpilicueta and said: "Apart from Cesar's crucial mistake, what other problems did Team A have?" The Chelsea players looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first. With Mourinho's temper, if he answered incorrectly, he would definitely be scolded. The majority of the team were timid, but there were also some brave ones. Zouma raised his left hand and said, "Sir, I think it was because Hazard's diagonal run caused Team A's defense to retreat, so Oscar got the chance? Am I right?" The French defender showed his enviable white teeth and looked at Mourinho like a student waiting for praise from his teacher. But Mourinho is not a kind teacher: "Kurt, keep talking" Zuma: … "Well... I think Jiang should have gone up to block the ball when Ivanovich threw it out of bounds. That would have been a better idea." Zouma cast an apologetic look at Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yuan waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and that it was normal to point out the mistakes of teammates. Jiang Yuan should have stepped up to stop the opponent, but Azpilicueta had drawn all his attention away... Mourinho smiled and said: "That's right, Kurt, keep going" Zuma's mouth twitched, and he suddenly began to regret it. Damn it, why did he raise his hand? Wasn't this just making things difficult for himself? "Kurt, do you have anything else to say?" Faced with Mourinho's questioning, Zouma shook his head repeatedly, then took a step to the left and successfully hid behind Terry. Mourinho curled his lips and began to explain the problem: "What I actually want to ask is not the problem that occurred a few seconds before the goal. Did you know that after Jiang's tackle, all the players in Team A stood there and watched? I was wondering, is it so interesting? Why didn't you hurry back to defend?"
Zuma nodded at first, then realized something was wrong and quickly shook his head. To be honest, Jiang Yuan's tackle is fast and powerful, especially when viewed up close, the visual impact is very strong, and it is absolutely first-rate to watch! After talking about the problems of Team A, Mourinho did not let go of Team B: "Then let's talk about Team B. Why did Team B score the goal? How did they score the goal? Who can tell me the reason?" With the precedent of Zouma, Chelsea players dared not speak this time. Jiang Yuan originally wanted to say something, but gave up in the end. Mourinho nodded with a satisfied expression: "Let me tell you, Eden's breakthrough on the left is one aspect, but the key is Costa's movement in the middle. I don't know if you still remember the situation on the field just now. Diego's movement took away Cesc, which was very crucial." Fabregas lowered his head and pouted when he was called out, looking a little unhappy. Mourinho saw this and kicked Fabregas in the ass: "Did I scold you and you got upset? I didn't say it was your problem!" "Diego's protection is crucial, so you know what I'm trying to say?" "The cooperation between the left and the center, using this method, we must win against Arsenal tomorrow!" Mourinho almost spelled out the last few words one by one, even adding extra emphasis. When it comes to tactical issues, the players are all depressed, but when it comes to "winning", everyone becomes excited. "Definitely win!" "Must win!" "Blow up Arsenal!" …… After the afternoon training, in the Cobham cafeteria, Mourinho sat in front of Jiang Yuan with a bowl of curry rice. "Jose, why are you eating Indian food?" Jiang Yuan picked up the fork and pointed at the curry chicken in Mourinho's bowl. He didn't know what the Portuguese was thinking, there was more curry than rice. "That's not the point!" Mourinho took a spoon and ate a mouthful of "authentic curry rice" with more curry than rice in front of Jiang Yuan. He said slowly, "I remember you said Arsenal talked to you once? They were unwilling to pay your transfer fee, is that right?" Mourinho's words touched Jiang Yuan's sore spot, making him unable to eat. He just took a sip of unsweetened coconut juice and said, "That's right. I remember they were only willing to pay 800 million euros. I forgot the exact amount, but it was less than 1000 million euros." “Less than 1000 million euros?” Mourinho raised his eyebrows: "This should be the offer from a long time ago. Your performance in Porto is definitely worth a transfer fee of 1000 million euros. Even Arsene is willing to pay this money." "That's true, but you came to me after I rejected them. Your decisiveness left me no reason to refuse." Jiang Yuan's honest attitude made Mourinho laugh: "So... Arsenal didn't contact you again?" "I did approach them, and later they were willing to pay the penalty, but I rejected them." Jiang Yuan's expression was very serious. During the conversation, he only drank a few sips of coconut juice and didn't eat any of the salmon slices in the bowl. On the contrary, Mourinho, the Portuguese, was so happy eating the fake Indian food: "Reject? Why do you refuse? Arsenal should be able to give you a position on the left. As far as I know, you should prefer to play on the left." "It's true that I like playing on the left, but life can't always be smooth sailing. It's not a bad thing to create some difficulties for yourself and then solve them." Mourinho spread his hands and said, "Come on! Jiang, there's no need to be like this. Can you tell the truth?"
"All right!" Jiang Yuan touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed that his lie had been exposed: "Rather than being a backup for Arsenal, I prefer to come to Chelsea" "Hahaha!" Mourinho swallowed a mouthful of curry and rice: "Okay, tomorrow's Community Shield final, do you want to play?" "Of course I do!" Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up, as if he saw some hope. As a result, Mourinho picked up the plate, stood up and walked away: "I think too much" …… 8pm on October 2th, Beijing time. "Dear brothers and friends, I am A Kun, welcome back. After two months of rest, Chelsea players ushered in the first cup game. Today we are broadcasting the English Community Shield final, Arsenal vs. Chelsea." "I saw someone in the comments asking why we broadcast Chelsea's games, and whether we are trying to take advantage of Jiang Yuan's popularity. To be honest, I am a 20-year-old Chelsea fan. I have been watching Chelsea's games since I was in primary school. Stamford Bridge has always been a holy place in my mind. Long live the Blues!" "The venue for this match is Wembley Stadium, the home of the Three Lions, which has a total seating capacity of 9. Okay, let's start with the starting lineup for this London derby." 'Arsenal first' Arsenal (4-3-3) Defenders: Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal Midfielders: Ramsey, Coquelin, Cazorla Forwards: Chamberlain, Walcott, Ozil Goalkeeper: Petr Cech Head coach: Arsène Wenger …… Chelsea (4-2-3-1) Defenders: Azpilicueta, Terry, Gary Cahill, Ivanovic Midfielders: Matic, Oscar, Fabregas Forwards: Hazard, Remy, Willian Goalkeeper: Courtois Head coach: José Mourinho "In this game, Chelsea's main center forward Diego Costa missed the game due to an injury in a training match, and French center forward Remy took on the center position. It is worth mentioning that my country's new king of football Jiang Yuan appeared in Chelsea's game roster. In the Transfermarkt price rankings released the day before yesterday, Jiang Yuan's value was as high as 2000 million euros, ranking first among Asian players!" "The game has begun. A-Kun will give the brothers a real-time commentary. Walcott kicks off..." A Kun is worthy of being the traffic king of the Huanledou live broadcast room. Within less than half an hour after the broadcast started, the number of people in the live broadcast room has reached 5+. This data can be said to be unprecedented on the Huanledou platform! [Jiang Yuan is lucky to play in the final right after coming to Chelsea! But then again, this kind of small cup competition is useless if you don’t win the championship] [Hasn't the anchor been a Porto fan for 20 years? How come he's a Chelsea fan for 20 years? I don't think the anchor is even 40 years old...] [The person above doesn't understand, A Kun is a fan of both Porto and Chelsea, he is definitely not a fan of Jiang Yuanren! ] [Hahahaha, awesome! ]
[Hiss, 2000 million euros, my god, this price is equivalent to two national football teams. I don’t know when Xiao Jiang will join the national team. There are no national team matches recently. I really want to see Xiao Jiang wearing a red jersey! ] [Jiang Yuan had been rumored to be dating Arsenal before, but was snatched by Chelsea. What a coincidence that he came directly to the Community Shield match. One of Chelsea and Arsenal must be slapped in the face today. I like both Wenger and Mourinho, but I have no choice between Jiang Yuan and me. Come on, Chelsea, go! ] [Damn, the British are really inefficient. It's been 10 days since the transfer and the No. 7 jersey is still not on the shelves. Do you think I can't afford it? ] [2000 million euros, I guessed it right, hahahahaha! Here is the evidence: picture ] 【William? No! Hazard? No! Jiang Yuan, yes! 】 …… "Damn it, Gary, what are you doing? Oscar, put it up, don't let him get through!" "Oh my god, what are you guys kicking!?" Mourinho was yelling on the sidelines, while Jiang Yuan and Zouma were shivering on the bench. The Gunners entered the game quickly and threatened the Blues' goal more than once in just five minutes. Fortunately, captain Terry was in charge of the defense and saved Chelsea with a beautiful header. The Belgian superstar performed bravely on the left, but both of his shots missed the target. Instead, William on the right had a shot on target, but was punched away by his old teammate Cech. If we talk about the player who has performed the best so far, it must be Cech. The Czech goalkeeper who just completed the transfer was in very good form facing his old club. He rejected Chelsea's shots one after another, which made the Chelsea fans at Wembley Stadium a little embarrassed. Soon, the half-time break arrived and Jiang Yuan returned to the locker room with the starting players. What was waiting for them was Mourinho's "foul words". "Oh my God, Matic, you lost your position at least three times in the first 45 minutes. Why is your positional sense so weak? Coquelin didn't pose any threat when he got the ball outside. Aren't you letting your opponent attack?" "And Gary, your defense really gives me a headache. Remember the corner kick 20 minutes in? Walcott ran past you and jumped before you noticed. Why did I ask you to mark him then?" "Oh my god!" Mourinho held his head in his hands, as if he was about to collapse in the next second. Jiang Yuan touched his head. From his point of view, Chelsea should not have been so terrible in the first half. However, considering that Mourinho had high demands on the team, it was normal for him to get angry. "Dong dong!" After Mourinho finished speaking, assistant coach Brown tapped the tactical board twice and began to arrange the next steps. "correct!" Mourinho seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked up at Jiang Yuan and Zouma on the opposite side: "Kurt, Jiang, Victor, Falcao, you can start warming up" "what?" Jiang Yuan doubted his ears: "Jose, didn't you say you wouldn't let me play?" "What? I never said that!" …… On the other side, in Arsenal's locker room, Wenger and Patrese stood among the players, and assistant coach Patrese was the first to express his opinion.
"Throughout the first half, except for the heavy defensive pressure on the right, everything else was fine. I think we can replace Chamberlain. In the second half, we need a winger with better defensive support. Arsene, do you think this is okay?" When Chamberlain heard that he might be replaced, he licked his lips reluctantly. He felt that his role on the offensive end was still quite obvious. Fortunately, Wenger did not intend to replace Chamberlain directly: "There is no need. Hazard does have impact, but we don't need to devote the entire right side. Remember, we have the advantage. We just need to pay extra attention to the defense of the right side. As for the left side, I think it can be relaxed a little. Although William can dribble, his shot is average and he poses no threat to us." Patles nodded: "That's right, come on in the second half!" Wenger put his hands flat in the middle and motioned everyone to come over: "Come on! Guys, we want to tell Chelsea that there can only be one King of London!" "North London Forever!" “North London Forever!” "WIN! WIN! WIN!" …… "Brothers, welcome back to the game. Neither side made any substitutions during the halftime, but we also saw Jiang Yuan from Chelsea put on a vest and started to warm up. His black brother Zouma transferred from Saint-Etienne to Chelsea during the east window last year. Chelsea spent 1460 million euros to get this French central defender!" "Then as for Arsenal, Giroud and Arteta are still outside the field. They have been warming up since the first half. I don't know when Wenger will make the first substitution." "..." "Chelsea's corner kick opportunity, Oscar is still responsible for this corner kick" "Corner kick out, front point!" "Hazard headed the ball but missed it, Cech grabbed the ball before Hazard. My God, why did Oscar pass it to the front post? Hazard doesn't have the ability to head the ball!" "Oh! Brothers, I understand. Oscar actually wanted to pass the ball to Terry next to Hazard, but Terry was marked by Mertesacker, so Hazard got the first point." A Kun expressed his own views, and some viewers in the live broadcast room seemed absent-minded for some reason. [Damn it, it's already the 51st minute and Jiang Yuan still hasn't played yet? Mourinho, can you please be more sensible and buy the jersey as soon as it comes out? Give Jiang Yuan a chance! ] [I'm really impressed. They spent 1300 million euros on a mascot, right? They're already warming up but they're not going to play yet. RNM, give me your money back! ] [The host knows a lot, but I think Hazard could have kicked the ball back and then passed it to Oscar. If he doesn't have the ability to head the ball, there's no need to force the shot.] [Speaking of heading ability, I think of someone who is warming up on the sidelines right now...] [King Jiang returns to the Portuguese Super League in his dream, praying for a divine warrior to descend from the sky! ] …… Just when the audience in the live broadcast room were chatting enthusiastically, Arsenal suddenly attacked on the left. Monreal's hand-thrown ball went around William and found Coquelin, who knocked the ball back with the arch of his foot. Monreal, who got the ball back, said hello and then sent a straight pass to Ozil. "Wow!" The spectators sitting outside the stadium suddenly stood up. Ozil's sudden acceleration caught Oscar off guard, and then Ozil faced Ivanovic one-on-one. "Hold him!" Terry reacted quickly and asked Oscar to block Coquelin, which put an end to Ozil's idea of a reverse triangle pass. Ozil had no choice but to go down the flank and dribble past the defense, but Ivanovic was not so easy to be dribbled past.
"tita, tata" Ozil dribbled the ball with the outside of his left foot and walked inside little by little. Ivanovic stood with one foot in front of the other, following Ozil's footsteps closely. "One-on-one on the left, Ozil's bicycle, but Ivanovic doesn't seem to be fooled. Monreal runs behind Ozil to ask for the ball, but Ozil doesn't give it to him." "Cross! It was a fake move. Ozil got away, but Ivanovic was very fast and caught up immediately. Alas, there was no way. Ozil had to pass the ball back to Monreal." "Monreal was about to cross the ball, but Ivanovic rushed forward and tried to block it with a tackle!" "Fuck, Monreal gave the ball back to Ozil, Ivanovic was fooled!" "Ozil faces Cahill, Walcott is already in position, pass the ball! Luckily, Terry heads the ball into the stands, corner kick for Arsenal!" "The referee blew the whistle, Arsenal made the first substitution, look who is standing on the sidelines... Arteta and Giroud, in the 65th minute of the game, Arteta replaced Chamberlain and Giroud replaced Walcott" It has to be said that Wenger's substitution was very confusing. Everyone thought Arteta was going to replace Coquelin or Ramsey, but Wenger put him on the right wing. Mourinho on the other side frowned when he saw the substitution. As the saying goes, the unknown is the most terrifying! Jiang Yuan, who was warming up, happened to run to the corner flagpole and stopped to watch the ball. Welsh midfielder Ramsey was responsible for this corner kick. The ball was hit out with a "pop". Giroud and Ozil made a crossing run in the middle. Azpilicueta and Oscar hurriedly followed the people they were defending. However, Giroud and Ozil's positioning was very tricky, and Azpilicueta and Oscar who followed them almost collided with each other. It was this moment that gave Arsenal the opportunity. Giroud in the back position jumped high, pretending to attack but actually headed the ball. "Hey!" Arteta, who had just come on the pitch, received Giroud's header and chose to shoot directly. The ball bounced on Terry's heel and deflected into the net. "Goooooallllllllllll" “Mikel Arteta!” The live commentator Merson, who was sitting above the VIP seats, suddenly jumped up from his chair, his face flushed with excitement. You may wonder why the team's goal commentator is happier than the fans. Then we have to mention Merson's identity. This is not a neutral commentary. Merson is a real Arsenal legend! Merson's excitement was in stark contrast to Leboeuf, who was sitting next to him. As a Chelsea legend, Leboeuf, who was sitting on the chair, now had a gloomy face. Having the two teams’ famous players serve as on-site commentators shows that the British are very good at stirring up trouble! "wowwwww!" After scoring the goal, Arteta rushed to the corner flagpole and almost bumped into Jiang Yuan and Zouma who were warming up there. It was undoubtedly very uncomfortable to watch his competitors celebrate in front of him. Now Jiang Yuan felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit. So Jiang Yuan patted Zuma on the shoulder and said, "Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want to do something?" Zuma's eyes lit up and he showed his big white teeth: "Jiang, I listen to you." "It's simple, we just go to the other side to warm up" After saying that, Jiang Yuan ran away without looking back. The pitch is 110m long, and it’s not like you have to warm up next to the corner flagpole! …… (End of this chapter)
