Chapter 236 There is no way out In the early morning, China U23 defeated Japan U23. At 10 am on the same day, the related topic occupied the hot search on them, [#WillJiang Yuan play in the next round] has achieved the highest popularity. The reason is that there are a lot of people discussing this topic, more than three times higher than the second place [XXX actress is pregnant]. As some netizens said: How can we talk about love between young people when it comes to the interests of family and country? At the gate of Qingshan Middle School, Wang Hairong, then head teacher of Class 305, who was selected as one of the top ten teachers in Qingshan City two weeks ago, is currently being interviewed by local reporters. There were four reporters interviewing Wang Hairong. The first one was Zhang Xiaolin, a reporter from Qingshan Evening News. Wang Hairong recognized her because Qingshan Evening News had been invited to the school anniversary event before. The conversation with Zhang Xiaolin lasted for about 5 minutes, and then Wang Hairong looked at the three people beside him. Walk to both sides and take a look at the microphones in their hands. Middle School Students' World, Taoli Daily, and China Sports Daily... Ok? ? ? Wang Hairong looked at the young man wearing glasses in front of him and said, "Young man, what's wrong with you? I am one of the top ten teachers, not the top ten athletes." "Hello, Mr. Wang. This is what happened. I am Wu Wen, a reporter for China Sports Daily in Zhejiang. I believe you also know that our country's U23 youth team has advanced to the semi-finals of the U23 Asian Cup. You should know this news. This news has been all over the Internet recently." "Oh~!"
Wang Hairong leaned back tactically with his mouth wide open. When he heard the words "U23 Youth Team", the hunchback he had been treating for 20 years was finally healed. "I know the news, do you have any questions?" "Well, you should have seen it. It is not clear whether Jiang Yuan will play in the Iraq U23 game, so our newspaper would like to interview you, Mr. Wang, to see if you have any news or something to share with us." Wu Wen showed an expectant look. Since the CCTV reporter did not ask any questions at the front line, it would be up to his sports newspaper reporter to accomplish this feat. "To be honest, I don't have any so-called gossip. But from what I know about Jiang Yuan, he will participate in the next game." "Teacher Wang, what do you mean?" Wu Wen's eyes lit up. Wang Hairong's words were beyond his expectations. He didn't admit the gossip, but made a bold guess. If Wang Hairong didn't have a source of information, Wu Wen would be the first one to disbelieve it! "It's very simple. You see, the Chinese team won all three games after Jiang Yuan joined, and Jiang Yuan carried the team in every game. At this time, Jiang Yuan is a hero in the hearts of all Chinese fans, and everyone thinks that he has no rivals in the Asian Cup. However, if he withdraws from the competition now, or loses the next game, what will everyone think?" "Once you see a great performance, everyone will unconsciously raise their expectations. You don't have to deny it, everyone is like this." "So, I think Jiang Yuan will not only not leave, but will also go all out." Wang Hairong said calmly with a serious expression: "He has no way out now." …… Qatar, Doha, Chinese team training ground. The training had just begun. The U23 players were wearing sneakers and warming up around the court, but most of them were absent-minded. There was no sign of Jiang Yuan at the training ground, which was hard not to cause speculation among the players during such a sensitive period. "Brother Bin, whether Brother Yuan wants to kick or not, why didn't he even tell us?" Zhang Yuning accelerated and rushed from the back of the team, standing side by side with Liu Binbin. Liu Binbin laughed: "This is not difficult. I guess Yuan Ge has not been able to reach an agreement with the club. He is really tired. He has to face such great pressure at the age of 17." Liao Lisheng on the side also interjected into the topic: "It's very simple. If you have watched the Premier League this season, you will know. Costa went to Atletico Madrid, and Falcao was injured again. If Yuan Ge did not go back, Chelsea would have to play head-on against Arsenal."
A few people were chatting happily when, at this moment, a figure hurried out from the locker room of the training ground. "Coach Fu, do you want to know how my communication with the club is going?" Jiang Yuan looked at Fu Bo and Li Shubin in front of him with a smile on his face. Fu Bo, who was supervising the players' training off the court, relaxed the wrinkles on his forehead when he saw Jiang Yuan coming. Fu Bo looked Jiang Yuan up and down, with a smile on his face: "No need to know" "Huh? Why?" Jiang Yuan was stunned, and saw Fu Bo extending his index finger and pointing at Jiang Yuan's lower body. "The sneakers you were wearing, I guess that's your answer?" On the court, Jiang Yuan's appearance instantly attracted the attention of all the players present. "Fuck, Brother Yuan is here!" "Huh? Damn it!" The U23 players looked at each other, then ran towards Jiang Yuan. In a few seconds, they formed a big circle around Jiang Yuan and squeezed Fu Bo and Li Shubin out. "Are you going to play in the next game?" "Fuck, Brother Yuan, please, don't leave" "..." Seeing this, Fu Bo and Li Shubin looked at each other and smiled. Jiang Yuan pursed his lips, as if it was a matter of course: "How can we leave at this time? I won't say anything else. The day after tomorrow afternoon, I will lead you to kill Iraq." …… At 1:24 pm on January 2th, London time, there is still one and a half hours before the start of the Arsenal vs. Chelsea match. At this time, the visiting team's locker room at the Emirates Stadium. "Guys, it's time to fight!" Zouma, wearing socks and slippers, twisted and turned on the physiotherapy bed. Chelsea players have not played a decent game for 10 days since the last round against Everton. There has been no game for 10 days, and today we have a big one. The opponent is Arsenal, the current team at the top of the league. After the injured players recovered one after another, the Gunners led by Professor Wenger slowly rose. Now in the 23rd round, Arsenal ranks first in the league with a total of 42 points. "Little Kurt, what are you so happy about? Let me remind you, we are missing two main players." Azpilicueta poured cold water on Zouma. The Blues' trident, only the left side is still sharp, and today's opponent is indeed a fully equipped Gunners. The pressure on Chelsea players is already full! Terry suddenly called Zuma: "Hey, little Kurt, didn't you say you called Jiang before? Why didn't you persuade him to come back?" Zuma touched his head and said: "I wanted to persuade him to come back, but I couldn't. To be honest, I really want to play in the national team with Jiang, but unfortunately I am French and cannot play in China's games." "support!"
Hazard raised his hand and said: "Go play in the U23 Asian Cup and bring Jiang back. It doesn't matter whether you are there or not." "Please!" Zuma spread his hands and said, "Dude, don't be like this, my defense is very solid, don't look down on me like this, okay?" "Have you watched Jiang's game videos? If I go up there and play... the country on the other side with a red dot on its flag..." “That’s Japan!” Azar corrected. "Yes, yes, it's Japan. Those dwarfs. If Jiang and I join forces, they won't have a chance to score!" Zouma stood with his legs apart and walked around like a crab, showing his superb defensive skills to his teammates in the locker room. Zouma's words seemed to resonate with the players in the team, and Hazard also became interested: "Jiang can score a lot of goals in every game. I also want to participate..." Hazard already has a plan in mind, the name of the match is China U23 (Chelsea version) VS Japan U23. "Fuck, I think I'm overage" The blueprint had been designed, but Hazard suddenly realized something was wrong. He doesn't meet any of the nationality and age requirements! "Stop, stop, stop!" Mourinho walked to the middle and interrupted the players' conversation: "You stupid guys, our opponent now is Arsenal, not some Japanese U23. Little Kurt, and Eden, if you two want to go to Qatar so much, then you can buy your tickets." Zuma touched his head and smiled awkwardly. "Guys, Diego has transferred, Jiang has a national team game. Now our opponent is the league champion, are you scared?" "Afraid" Zouma muttered something under his breath, but Mourinho just kicked him: "We don't have to be afraid!" "I want to tell you that we are a very strong team" "Arsenal?" "out!" …… Arsenal vs. Chelsea, the third place in the league against the second place in the league, this is a real focus battle in the Premier League, and CCTV5 also broadcast this game live. 48 hours before the game, Chelsea announced Jiang Yuan's absence on Twitter. At the same time, the Chinese Olympic Men's Football Team announced on Weibo that Jiang Yuan would participate in the upcoming Asian Cup. Some fans are happy while others are sad. The happiest ones are the fans of Arsenal and the Chinese national team, while the saddest ones are the local Chelsea fans in London. Away game + missing main players + facing the third place in the league, damn regional difficulty! “Gunner see the Arsenal playing some Hot Stuff!” "Let's see the Arsenal showing them how!"
“Come on you Arsenal - yeah you are the Hot Stuff” "..." There are more than 5 home fans at the Emirates Stadium, and the chorus is extremely loud. This is the blessing that the league's first place brings to the fans' voices. On the field, the game was about to begin. The Blues players gathered together and captain Terry began to boost morale: "Come on, guys!" "Pa pa! Come on Chelsea!" "Zhuangdianertai, Zhuangdianertai!" "Here is the live broadcast of the 23rd round of the English Premier League, Arsenal vs. Chelsea" "The referee has blown the whistle! The game has begun. Let me introduce the starting lineups of both teams. First up is the home team, Arsenal!" Arsenal (4-2-3-1) Goalkeeper: Petr Cech Defenders: Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal Midfielders: Flamini, Ramsey, Ozil Forwards: Joel Campbell, Giroud, Walcott Head coach: Arsene Wenger "For Chelsea, Hazard, Remy and Kennedy will form the three forwards, while Zouma and Terry will form the central defenders." The game is in progress. It is now 12:22 am Beijing time. Although Jiang Yuan is not participating in the game, there are still many domestic fans watching this live broadcast. [Brothers, Chinese football fans, gather here to see the strength of Jiang Yuan’s home team] [Hiss, this game of Chelsea is a bit difficult, I won’t say anything more, cheer for Chelsea! ] [I don't even want to play against Arsenal, Jiang Yuan, you are my god! ] [Let’s see if Zakaria can get his form back in this game. Last season, Zakaria could beat Arsenal by himself.] [Don't hit the football king, our football king Jiang will play against Iraq tomorrow. No, it's tonight, I almost forgot it's already past 12 o'clock] [Hiss, the pace of the Premier League is still fast. Even though there are no goals, it’s still fun to watch.] [The U23 Asian Cup is also very interesting. Although the offense is not smooth, this kind of U-series game usually scores a lot of goals. Xiao Jiang scored 3 goals against the opponent in one game. That's awesome.] [Fuck, Walcott goes down the line, stop it, bro] In the 25th minute of the game, on the left side of Arsenal, Walcott made a cross to Giroud, who jumped up despite Zouma's confrontation and headed the ball into the goal. "GOOOOOO-AAAAAAAAA-LLLLLLLLL!!!" "Olivier Giroudi!" The live commentator and the fans shouted the name of the scorer. In Chelsea's small penalty area, Zouma put his hands on his hips, looking a little helpless. Poor little Curt was beaten to pieces by his French fellow countrymen. fuck!
Mourinho put his head in his hands: "What the hell are you kicking, Cesc, why are you standing so far forward?" "Hey, Cesc, move back a little, you need to help the center back stretch the defense line, don't just stand there!" Fortunately, Chelsea's players were in good shape. At 40 minutes into the first half, William, who was in control of the ball in the frontcourt, found an opportunity and passed the ball straight to Remy who was in front. The latter inserted between Mertesacker and Koscielny, broke into the penalty area and fell to the ground, helping Chelsea win a penalty. The penalty kick was taken by Chelsea's top scorer Hazard. The Belgian superstar lived up to the fans' expectations and scored with a shot into the dead corner with the instep of his foot. 1:1, Hazard scored a penalty to equalize the score! "Wow!" After scoring the goal, Hazard skillfully spread his arms, ran up and knelt, and slid all the way to the left corner flagpole before stopping. yes! Mourinho hugged Brown beside him, unable to hide the excitement on his face. Costa transfer? Jiang is absent? Chelsea is bound to lose? Now it seems that the result is still hard to say! 64 minutes later. "Okay, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Arsenal, playing at home, defeated Chelsea 3-1 with Giroud's double and Arteta's long-range shot." "Currently, Arsenal's total points are 49, 2 points more than the second-placed Leicester City with one more game played." "This game was indeed a strong dialogue. Chelsea lost the game, but Mourinho should be able to see the team's current problems from this game." "We say that Chelsea is a team that is very good at using the individual abilities of its players to create opportunities, and Chelsea has achieved good results with this tactic." "But now, with the main players missing, Hazard alone won't have many opportunities. We can see that Wenger focused on defending the left wing where Hazard is today." "Why? Because Chelsea has no ability to break through on the right!" …… (End of this chapter)
