Chapter 181: Little Kurt, run faster! "Snapped!"The ball perfectly passed over the heads of Van Dijk and Maya Yoshida and fell at a very fast speed. It was thought to be a perfect elevator ball, but in the end it hit the crossbar and flew out. "Fuck!" Jiang Yuan bit his clothes, his face full of unwillingness. Because the free kick missed, Jiang Yuan lost the chance to score a second goal, and Chelsea's winning streak was also ended by Southampton. "Jiang, you did a great job!" Azpilicueta and Fabregas hurried over and hugged Jiang Yuan on each side. At the end of the game, Chelsea drew 2:2 with Southampton at home, and the league ranking remained unchanged at 5th. After the thank you ceremony, Chelsea players returned to the locker room one after another. The 4-game winning streak was ended, and everyone must be in a bad mood. Jiang Yuan was the most depressed among them. The most painful feeling is that success is right in front of you but you can't grasp it.
Soon, Mourinho noticed that Jiang Yuan's mentality was not right, and took the initiative to ask: "Jiang, how do you feel now?" Jiang Yuan thought Mourinho was here to blame him, his body trembled, and he replied with a red face: "I'm sorry, I thought I could score, but obviously I didn't..." "Wait!" Mourinho stretched out his hand to stop Jiang Yuan from speaking and signaled all the players in the locker room to gather together. Mourinho looked at each player and finally looked at Jiang Yuan: "Jiang, do you think this ball is your fault?" "what?" Jiang Yuan was confused by Mourinho's question: "Of course, I can't score a free kick, that's my problem. If I score, we can get 3 points instead of 1 point!" "Shut up!" After listening to Jiang Yuan's explanation, Mourinho suddenly yelled, leaving Jiang Yuan confused. Then, under the gaze of the players, Mourinho slowly said: "Jiang, I am very dissatisfied with your answer!" "We are a complete team. The mistakes of the team should be borne by all players including the coach, not just one person." Mourinho stared at Jiang Yuan with his eyes fixed on him: "Jiang, you are the best free kick taker in our team, and it was the decision of our entire team to let you take this free kick. So, even if you miss the free kick, it's not just you who should be blamed, but all the Chelsea players on and off the field, even me!" "Please remember, always remember, the audience, the referee, and the desire for the championship... The pressure of top football matches is very high. If you want to bear this pressure alone and be the hero, then I tell you, it's impossible. You will suffer from serious mental illness, depression, anxiety... and so on!" "Of course, if this pressure is shared by everyone in the team, then I think it is bearable." Mourinho spoke slowly and enunciated each word very clearly. "So... please tell me, tell me loudly, who will bear the responsibility for this draw?" "I!" "Together we will!" "And I……"
As they spoke, everyone put their hands in the middle one after another, and Terry even grabbed Jiang Yuan's hand and placed it at the bottom. "You are all wrong" Mourinho spread his hands, causing the players to look at each other in bewilderment. The starting lineup and substitutes are all here, what else is there to worry about? Just when everyone was confused, Mourinho grabbed Brown's hand, and the two of them covered the top together: "Don't forget us two old guys!" "Ha ha!" …… The front page headline of The Times - Chelsea drew 2:2 with Southampton at home, ending their four-game winning streak.

Although Son is not performing well now, I believe he is a talented player and he can get out of the trough. Henan Culture and Tourism - According to experts' speculation, Chelsea football player Jiang Yuan may be related to Gao Qiu (the Grand Commandant of the Northern Song Dynasty).

After the match with Southampton, Chelsea will not have a game for two weeks. After comprehensive consideration, Mourinho gave the players two days of vacation. As luck would have it, the endorsement that Mendes found for Jiang Yuan also arrived. Jiang Yuan was completely stunned when he heard the news. Mendes had previously said that he would find an endorsement within 2 months, but he didn't expect that he was so efficient. It has only been less than 4 days since the contract was signed! "Jorge, I remember that it's not easy to find endorsements, why are you so efficient?" Jiang Yuan’s implication: Don’t just find an endorsement to fool me. "Ha ha!" Mendes laughed and crossed his arms over his chest: "Adidas! Guess the price?" "Hmm... 200 million euros?" Hearing this, Mendes pursed his lips and said, "You don't seem to understand the commercial value behind you..." "400 million euros! This is the price for one year. Of course, they also offer you an option, 1 million euros for two years. It depends on which one you want. I can negotiate it right away!" 400 million euros a year? Jiang Yuan was completely stunned when he heard the news. According to his understanding, the endorsement fee for a player of the same value as him is only 1 million euros a year at most. However, Jiang Yuan seemed to have underestimated the impact his nationality would have on the endorsement fee. "Okay, Jiang, if you think it's appropriate, I'll contact them. One year, or two years?"
Mendes put the choice in front of Jiang Yuan. However, after repeated consideration, Jiang Yuan still decided to ask Mendes, after all, he was not professional in this kind of matter. "Jorge, which endorsement do you think is more suitable for me?" Mendes clenched his fist with one hand and then extended his index finger: "1 year!" "Then let's take one year!" So, adidas staff rushed to London from the German headquarters and signed a contract with Jiang Yuan while conducting some photo shoots. The content of the photo was simple: Jiang Yuan was wearing a full set of adidas training clothes and holding a football. In addition, Jiang Yuan also needed to provide 30 autographs for adidas dealers in China to draw. According to the contract, Jiang Yuan's photos will be projected in major shopping malls across China, including subway stations. Unfortunately, Jiang Yuan could not get all the 400 million euros in endorsement fees. 10% went to Mendes as agent commission, and a certain proportion went to the club. After deducting taxes, the actual endorsement fee Jiang Yuan received was only 235 million euros, almost twice his annual salary. As expected, the real way to make money is through endorsements! …… After the endorsement was over, the Chelsea first-team players also ended their vacation and resumed training. Compared to his teammates who looked relaxed, Jiang Yuan was really feeling very uncomfortable. The system told him to get rid of Hazard, but Jiang Yuan really couldn't figure out how to squeeze Hazard to the right. There is no way to complete this task! "Hey, focus!" Mourinho suddenly spoke, interrupting Jiang Yuan's thoughts, and the latter then realized that William's pass to him had gone out of bounds. "Sorry sorry!" Jiang Yuan greeted him. He really didn't expect that he would be so distracted. "Okay, beep!" Mourinho asked Brown to blow the whistle and then called the players together. "Mr. Rozovich will lead you in endurance training this afternoon. Go to the locker room and change into your sneakers first." ??? After hearing the tasks assigned by Mourinho, the players looked at each other in bewilderment. Jiang Yuan even nudged Terry with his elbow: "Captain, didn't you say you wouldn't take the initiative to practice physical fitness?" Terry touched his nose and blushed: "I said I rarely practice, but it's not that I don't practice..." i wipe... Jiang Yuan took a deep breath. There was nothing he could do. He was forced to show off again! In the locker room, everyone was silent and looked more nervous than each other. Zuma sat down next to Jiang Yuan, who was still tying his shoelaces: "Jiang, you run pretty fast, do you have good endurance?" "no no no" Jiang Yuan waved his hands repeatedly: "Little Kurt, you think too highly of me. I am just fast, but my endurance is not good. Besides, my thigh muscles are a little uncomfortable. I won't run too fast today." Hearing this, Zuma breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, how about this, I can't run fast either, how about we run together later?"
"no problem!" Jiang Yuan nodded and agreed immediately. He could certainly understand Zuma's thoughts. It was shameful to run slowly, but if someone couldn't run fast like him, then it wouldn't be shameful! Everyone changed their shoes one after another. Jiang Yuan and others were not wearing regular flat sneakers. There were some spikes on the bottom of the training shoes on their feet, which were slightly softer than football shoes. This type of shoe can not only ensure the friction of athletes when running on the grass, but also reduce the pressure on the arch of the foot to the greatest extent. "Are you all ready?" Rozovic's eyes swept over all the players one by one. Compared with the relaxed and happy atmosphere in the past, the Cobham base was particularly gloomy today. No one was willing to stand up and speak. Finally, Terry nodded to signal the start of training. "Okay, because there are still two weeks before the next competition, this long window of time is very rare, so we will do a high-intensity endurance training today..." Endurance training, or high intensity? Jiang Yuan was almost suffocating before he even started running. Rozovic opened his notebook and began to speak slowly: "First... did you see the sign on the ground?" Rozovic pointed to the front, where three members of the coaching staff were placing markers on the grass: "I need you to do a 3-5 second in-situ cadence training between two markers, and when you hear my whistle, run 8 yards (about 15 meters) away, and then line up at the back." Like Klein, Rozovic attaches great importance to the acceleration of the players. The only difference is that Rozovic added a reaction training to the speed training. The players will hear the whistle within the time period of 5-8 seconds, and they must rush out quickly at this time. Four people go together at a time, and the person who reaches the finish line the slowest needs to run an extra one. The distance of 15 yards is not far. Starting speed and reaction speed are the two most critical factors. As long as you have one of them, you will basically not be the last in the group. Coincidentally, Jiang Yuan has both. "Beep!" The coaching staff blew the whistle, and Jiang Yuan and Zuma started almost at the same time, but Jiang Yuan's acceleration was obviously faster. When Zuma took 2 steps, Jiang Yuan had already run 4 steps. This is the advantage of being short! "drink!" Rushing to the 15-yard marker, Jiang Yuan took the first place without any surprise. Although the distance was not long, Jiang Yuan's speed advantage was still very obvious, especially at the start, Jiang Yuan rushed out from between Zouma, Falcao and William. Although he had expected it, Rozovic was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes. With such incredible explosive speed, it’s no surprise that he can run away with a single move! After running 15 groups, Jiang Yuan successfully defeated all members of Chelsea's first team and won the championship of all 15 groups. "Oh my God" Hazard put his hands on his knees and exhaled from his mouth. Even though it was only 15 yards, it was quite tiring to run 15 times in a row. "Beep!" After giving everyone a break for about 10 minutes, Rozovic blew the whistle again: "Next we will run 8km, 100m fast, 100m slow, 100m super fast, 100m super slow. Run 20 times continuously, a total of 8km. Get ready, we'll start now." Rozovic's training method is well combined with the actual game. In a high-level football game, the running distance of the players ranges from 8km to 12km, of which 2000m is high-speed running. Therefore, if you want to maintain good physical strength in the official game, speed training is a key step. Near the starting point, Zuma approached Jiang Yuan: "Hey, Jiang, let's go together!" Jiang Yuan gave a thumbs up: "Don't worry, I'm not in good shape recently, so I can't run very fast. Maybe you can even run ahead of me!" "Ha ha!"
Zuma patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we are all good brothers, I won't run ahead of you!" After that, everyone put on their heart rate monitors and got ready. The staff arranged timing equipment at various locations on the field to record the speed of each player in each interval. After the preparations were completed, Rozovich pressed the timer switch and shouted, "GO!" "I'm watching your heart rates, so run well! The 15 slowest runners will be punished with a 5km run after the end of each training session!" Rozovic is famous for his strictness in the club. The slowest 15 players will be punished by running. You know, there are only 32 people training in the first team at present! "Ha ha!" Zuma was a smart guy. He squeezed to the front when he was preparing, and was the first when he ran out, leaving Jiang Yuan and others far behind. "Whoosh whoosh" Soon, there was a sound of rapid breathing behind Zuma, and then a figure in a yellow training suit passed by the right side of his body. There is no doubt that the one who overtook Zuma and came in first place was Jiang Yuan. It took less than 2 seconds from the time Zuma heard his breathing to the time he was overtaken. "What the hell!" Zuma cursed loudly and his legs moved faster and faster. At 1 meters tall, he had a great advantage in stride. But in the face of absolute speed, Zuma's stride was completely useless, and he could only watch Jiang Yuan getting farther and farther away from him. Before the race, Zuma never thought that he could come in last place even if he sprinted at top speed from the start. At this time, Rozovic suddenly shouted: "Little Kurt, you are rushing too fast, this will not have any training effect!" Am I running too fast? Then what is the river in front of me? When the 100m was slow, Zuma shouted as he ran, "Sir, Jiang runs much faster than me, why don't you take care of him?" Rozovic shrugged: "I looked at your heart rate. When you just rushed out, your heart rate was 160. This won't work!" "What about Jiang?" Hearing Zuma's question, Rozovic looked down at the iPad in his hand and said, "More than 130." "Fuck!" Zuma now just wanted to curse, so he rushed out with all his strength, but was overtaken by someone who used less than 90% of his strength. What the hell is going on? "Whoop whoosh!" Zouma was out of breath and suddenly regretted that rushing too fast at the beginning would definitely have a bad impact on his physical reserve. According to the rules, he needs to keep a distance from the person in front in the slow section. Zouma can still maintain his second position in the slow section. When it comes to the super fast section, the three-person team composed of Falcao, Willian and Terry passes from Zouma's right. "wdf?" Zuma had a ferocious expression on his face as he watched himself become fifth. Falcao and Willian are fine, but why can Terry run so fast at his age? "Hey, Terry, slow down, your heart rate is off!" Rozovic shouted loudly that Terry's situation was the same as Zouma's, and he was also blindly overdrawing his physical strength. However, Terry did not listen to Rozovic, but turned around and replied: "Today I have to teach little Kurt a lesson and tell him that it was wrong to rush out at the beginning!"
Zuma: ??? …… The painful time passed by minute by minute, and by the seventh lap, Zuma was already in 7th place. "Congratulations!" When Zuma ran to the finish line, Rozovic had a smile on his face. It was an angelic smile that seemed to melt Zuma's heart. "Hey man, what's my number?" Zuma asked, panting. "Well... 18th. To put it another way... 15th from the bottom!" Rozovic's voice seemed to have some magical power. When Zuma heard the news, his headache, back pain and heartbeat stopped. "&%%S" …… (End of this chapter)
