Chapter 423 I really didn’t mean it"The Athlete" - Chelsea midfielder Fabregas transferred to Monaco for a transfer fee of around 2800 million euros to 3400 million euros.
Tomas Hardy, a well-known Chelsea fan: Through Nike sponsorship and the sale of players, Chelsea's transfer budget is expected to reach 8000 million euros, which means they have the opportunity to buy another player besides Kyle Walker. Tuchel is likely to choose between Roma defender Rudiger and Arsenal center Giroud.
Chelsea legend Pat Nevin: If you have to choose between Rudiger and Giroud, I think Giroud is the most suitable choice. Because after Remy's transfer, Chelsea only has one full-time center forward left. For a top team, it is not allowed to have only one person in one position.
Know the team and stick it on top: The men's football team of the Bird's Nest will play against Chelsea. Jiang Yuan is confirmed to play for the men's football team, and the organizer has signed a contract with Jiang Yuan's team. Jiang Yuan's playing time in the game will not be less than 30 minutes. ( comments)
Dongqiudi reposted: The organizers have made sufficient preparations for Chelsea's China tour. They have signed contracts with Hazard and Pogba's teams respectively. The playing time of these two players will not be less than 30 minutes. ( comments)
The front page headlines of "Football Times" - Mourinho's transfer, the Bird's Nest Jiangyuan derby, the Football Association has made many strange moves, is it possible to restore its image in the hearts of fans?
[Jiang Yuan led the national football team to play football with his club teammates. Is this a hint to the national football team members on how they should play football? Hahaha! ]
[Fuck, I sold the ticket for 600 at 280, and then you told me that both Hazard and Pogba had to play. Damn, if I bought it a day later, I could have made 200 more]
[All of you who sold tickets after the news came out made money, it’s just a matter of how much you made. Did you read the news a few days ago? Someone in Dalian sold a ticket priced at 500 for 680. This wave of losses is at least 2000. If he had just read the news in the morning, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.]
[The high-speed rail ticket has been purchased, and now I am ready to go! 】
[I understand the reasoning, but how can the Chinese national football team play Chelsea? Even with Jiang Yuan leading the team, they will still be beaten, right? ]
[It’s not a professional match, Chelsea will definitely collect the players. Anyway, at least it’s good to watch.]
[That’s right, I really want to see Jiang Yuan score against Courtois now]
[It’s not a big deal, it’s only 30 minutes, it would be better if it was a half…]
[Hazard, Jiang Yuan and Pogba each have 30 minutes. My suggestion is to stagger these three players so that there will be stars to watch every minute of the 90 minutes]
[This is not good. Some people just want to see Jiang Yuan play against Hazard. If they play at different times, there will be no focus.]
……
Two days before the game, on July 2th, Beijing time, the plane carrying Chelsea players landed at the Capital Airport. Tuchel took the players to the hotel where they were staying during their trip to China.
为了满足球员的需求,俱乐部包下了9层至12层、14层至16层一共7层楼,会议室则是被安排在22楼的大厅。
According to the prior communication with the Chinese team, Jiang Yuan only needs to report back to the hotel where the Chinese team is located the day before the game, which is tomorrow. Today, the 20th, Jiang Yuan needs to follow the club to participate in the activities organized by the organizer.
We got off the plane in the morning, had a meeting and rest at noon, and had an open training session at the stadium in the afternoon. That was the schedule for today.
It can be seen that the schedule arranged by the organizer this time is relatively tight, so the players are also very fast. After putting their things at the hotel, they immediately go to the restaurant on the 5th floor to eat.
Normally, you need to get a room card or report your room number to enter the hotel restaurant, but Chelsea players don't need to do that today, because there is no one else in the hotel except Chelsea players and staff these days.
This is a buffet restaurant, and of course, Chinese food is the main dish. This is the first meal for many Chelsea players in China, and also the first time they have eaten Chinese food in China. Everyone was very excited, and nearly 30 people directly blocked the window.
Jiang Yuan wasn't very hungry yet, so he went to the breakfast area and got a bowl of fried noodles and four boiled eggs. He asked for a dish of soy sauce and then found a seat to sit down.
Since he was not hungry, Jiang Yuan's focus now was not on eating. He just took out his mobile phone from his pocket, operated it skillfully and started the live broadcast.
"Good afternoon, good afternoon, haha, there is no good morning and good evening, I am already in China now, there is no time difference now"
After following the anchor on the live broadcast platform, you will get a reminder as soon as the anchor starts broadcasting. In addition, every time Jiang Yuan starts broadcasting, someone will go to the team to send news, so after Jiang Yuan starts broadcasting, hundreds of thousands of people will immediately flock to the live broadcast room, and in less than 10 minutes, the number of people exceeded one million.
Jiang Yuan held up his phone and pointed the camera at Hazard who was sitting on his right: "This is Hazard, Eden Harzard."
"Uh! hi!"
Hazard gave the camera a thumbs up, and then asked Jiang Yuan: "What did you say? Ni Menghao? Oh, yes, Ni Menghao, crab!"
"Okay, let's see what our E...Azar ate today"
The camera focused on Hazard's plate. In the largest compartment was a tomato rice bowl, with duck tongue and two poached eggs on the side, and finally a chicken fillet covered with salad sauce.
"Our Hazard doesn't seem to be very self-disciplined. Let's take a look at the next one..."
The camera turned to Pogba who was sitting opposite him. Jiang Yuan suddenly widened his eyes: "What the fuck? Paul, where did you get this thing?"
Like other players, Pogba has a dinner plate on his desk. On the plate are a lot of things that he personally thinks are delicious, but these are not the main points. The main point is that there is also a round plastic box on Pogba's desk, and what is inside is...
Stinky tofu!
"Where did you get it?"
Jiang Yuan grabbed one directly from the box and put it in his mouth.
Well, the taste is not particularly good, but it is not particularly bad either.
"I asked my bodyguard to buy it after I got off the plane. I have been to China several times before."
Pogba said, showing the stinky tofu in his hand to the people at the table: "You don't know, the Chinese food in the hotel is fake, it's to fool foreigners. If you want the real thing, you have to buy it on the street. The Chinese food in the small streets is authentic."
"Hahahaha!"
After hearing this, Zouma mocked Pogba: "Are you here to make fun of me? You bought a black tofu? Ask your bodyguard to buy it for you."
"Hey, don't disbelieve me, I've eaten it once before and it's delicious"
Pogba pushed the stinky tofu in front of Zouma. The latter looked at Pogba with suspicion, and then looked at Jiang Yuan who was chewing the stinky tofu.
Jiang Yuan gave a thumbs up: "You can really try it"
"..."
Zouma picked up the fork in his hand and picked up a piece of stinky tofu from Pogba's small bowl, but the tofu broke into two pieces as soon as the fork went in.
"Be careful!" Pogba warned.
"Ok ok, I know, I know!"
Having learned from the previous lesson, Zuma was much more cautious this time. He picked up one of the two halves and put it into his mouth.
"Wow, so spicy, oh, hiss——"
"holy shit, that's it, oh! jesus! hoo! hiss"
What?
Hazard and Terry looked at each other and both stretched out their forks at the same time.
"Oh my god! What was that thing I ate before? And this, John, try this crab claw in my bowl. It has a strong aroma, and the meat inside is also fragrant when you peel it open!"
"Wait for me for a moment, I'll get some crabs."
"Ok, Paul, remember to bring me a plate of dumplings, I want all the flavors"
Zouma, who came to China to play a warm-up match as he wished, finally got to eat some real local food. The Frenchman looked at the four full plates in front of him, then at the boiled eggs on Jiang Yuan's plate: "Jiang, aren't you hungry?"
"Ahem, I'm fine... I also taste better."
Jiang Yuan was live streaming with his mobile phone in his left hand. He peeled the egg with one hand, then used chopsticks to split the egg into two parts. He then dripped soy sauce on the egg yolks, put one of them in his mouth and started eating.
"Come on, you're back in China and you're still eating this kind of food, you have to eat good food too"
Zuma wanted to give the smallest crab on his plate to Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan refused.
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong, so Zuma reached out and stole the egg with soy sauce on it from Jiang Yuan's plate.
"what?"
Just as Jiang Yuan reacted, his big egg had disappeared. Zuma, panicked, quickly stuffed the egg into his mouth.
"Hiss-hmm, this egg has a different taste. Paul, Paul, are you still there? I want 5 eggs, the white round ones, not the flat yellow ones."
"Jesus!"
"Wow~"
Looking at the increasing number of plates around his table, Jiang Yuan covered his face: "Fuck, I really don't want to say that I know you guys..."
"Hey, Jiang!"
Zuma picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork with a fork and put it into Jiang Yuan's mouth. Of course, Jiang Yuan ate it without hesitation.
"Hahahaha!"
"Why? What happened?"
Jiang Yuan spread his hands and looked at Pogba who was laughing to express his innocence.
"This fell on the ground," Hazard reminded.
Jiang Yuan gave Zuma the middle finger: "mother fuck"
"Oh, Jiang, don't do this!"
Zuma reached out and snatched Jiang Yuan's phone, switched to the front camera, and said to the fans in the live broadcast room in English: "Jiang is not a good person, do you have any way to help me deal with him! Give me some swear words"
Zuma looked at the Chinese messages that kept popping up in the barrage and found one that had more people posting.
"baba down wow..."
"Daddy hit me, daddy hit me!"
"Haha, Jiang, my dad hit me!"
Jiang Yuan sat on the table speechlessly, stuffing noodles into his mouth: "Fuck..."
……
After a short break at noon, it was already afternoon. Tuchel gathered the players in the gym on the 9th floor, briefly emphasized some things about the afternoon training match, and then arranged for the players to go out and prepare for the afternoon open training match.
Click!
"Hazard! Hazard!"
"Jiang Yuan, look here!"
There were players waiting outside the hotel. With the home advantage, Jiang Yuan's voice was of course the loudest.
When Chelsea announced its schedule, it only said that they would play an open training match at the Bird's Nest at 3: pm, but did not say the exact time. This means that fans do not know the exact time when the Blues players will come out of the hotel.
They stayed here for at least 2 or 3 hours!
"Jiang Yuan!"
Amid the shouts, Jiang Yuan walked straight to a player and wrote his name on the back of the No. 7 jersey of the national football team. While signing, he said, "Time is tight this afternoon. We are leaving soon."
"Jiang Yuan, sign!"
"Eden!"
Jiang Yuan called Hazard over to help. The players who were about to get on the bus saw Jiang Yuan and Hazard still signing autographs outside, so they quickly retracted their feet that had just stepped onto the bus.
Tuchel glanced at the watch on his left hand, walked over and said to Jiang Yuan: "Five minutes."
"Ok!"
After receiving Tuchel's approval, Jiang Yuan waved his hand and called all the starting players of the first team to come over.
Although he said that he couldn't give many autographs, Jiang Yuan still gave as many as he could.
Kennedy seemed reluctant to pay attention to the Chinese fans and walked straight to the bus, but was immediately pulled back by Terry who noticed something was wrong: "What are you thinking about? Come here quickly!"
……
In the afternoon, the 9 seats in the Bird's Nest Stadium were filled with nearly 7 people. Before the official training began, Jiang Yuan needed to walk around half the Bird's Nest to show off his Premier League Golden Boot and Champions League Silver Boot.
Wearing football shoes and walking on the plastic track, Jiang Yuan's feet kept making "crunching" sounds, but Jiang Yuan could hardly hear it. Now the only thing in his mind was the cheers of the fans in the stands.
Jiang Yuan did not expect that his first time at the Bird's Nest National Stadium would be a warm-up match.
But it must be said that the visual effect of the Bird's Nest is quite shocking whether you look at it from the outside or from the inside.
"Jiang Yuan, you are our pride."
"Jiang Yuan~I am proud of you"
"Cheers for you~ I bless you~"
The Dragons fans sang "Jiang Yuan's Song" in the stands. This song was adapted from "Red Flag Flying" and had a slow rhythm. In fact, this song had already been produced during the Olympics, but the bronze medal was won after the team lost the game, so the fans hesitated and didn't sing it in the end.
Today Jiang Yuan will be walking around the Bird's Nest showing off his personal trophy, and this is the best opportunity.
In front of Jiang Yuan, Chelsea players gathered together in a mess. Terry and Tuchel were holding the FA Cup trophy that Chelsea had just won last season. Pogba and Azpilicueta kicked their autographed footballs into the stands from time to time.
After the first half, Zouma handed the heavy FA Cup trophy in his hand to the staff. Jiang Yuan also handed his two personal trophies to the staff, who then took them back to the locker room.
After the trophy display, the next step is to display the training content.
Chelsea players conducted short and long pass training under the guidance of the coaching team. Of course, Tuchel did not use his smaller balls at this time.
There is a difference between open training and closed training, and Tuchel cannot reveal some of his little secrets to the outside world.
Chelsea players showed off their fast-paced circle-grabbing skills. If nothing unexpected happens, this video will become a handle for some people to criticize the Chinese national team once it is leaked.
Before receiving the pass from his teammate, Jiang Yuan made a fake move to pass the ball to the left, then suddenly kicked the ball to Zouma beside him.
Not surprisingly, Zuma did not react.
"Fuck, Jiang, what is this?"
"You didn't answer it properly, get in now!"
Zuma was pushed into the circle by Jiang Yuan, who threatened him: "Jiang, I will steal your ball later."
After 5 minutes, Zouma still did not come out of the middle of the circle. The Frenchman was panting and seemed to be unable to run anymore.
This is not to say that Zouma is bad, but the player who passed the ball outside secretly kept a distance, and there was only one player in the middle trying to grab the ball. However, the diameter of the circle was as long as 1 meters. In this case, the guy who tried to grab the ball had basically no chance of touching the ball.
"oh shit"
Assistant coach Lof came over and said, "Stop bullying him."
"nonono!"
Zuma shook his head and straightened up again: "I can grab it. I was just a little bit short several times!"
"Forget it, you go in too."
Hazard took the ball from Kante and then pushed Kante in.
With two people fighting for it, it should be almost done now.
According to Tuchel's training at the base, the players would do 15-20 minutes of lap grabbing to practice their feet before each formal training. However, in today's public training, considering confidentiality and viewing issues, the lap grabbing time was reduced to 10 minutes.
Although Zouma and Kante worked together, they still failed to snatch the ball from Pogba, Hazard and other hateful guys.
Next came the fans' favorite shooting training. When they saw Courtois and Caballero put on gloves, the fans in the stands immediately started screaming.
Hazard was a little surprised because it was just a training match, but there were almost 7 people sitting in the stadium.
In fact, what Hazard didn't realize was that matches like Chelsea VS Chinese men's football team are so rare. In addition, Chelsea has many stars, so the cheapest tickets for the main matches have been sold for 1200 yuan. But they can't come here for nothing, so they can only spend a few hundred yuan to buy tickets for the training match.
Judging from today's situation, the scene will be very shocking when the official competition starts the day after tomorrow.
"Give it to me!"
Jiang Yuan ran out and kicked the ball to Cahill who was acting as a wall in front. The latter used the arch of his foot to knock the ball in front of Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan followed up and shot the ball. The ball flew over Courtois' head and directly rushed into the stands.
"Good shot! Good shot!"
The fans in the stands screamed continuously. No matter how you kick the ball, as long as the ball flies to the stands in the end, it is a good shot.
Because the ball is in my hand, it's mine!
"Fuck!"
Jiang Yuan bit his lip, his expression somewhat awkward. The fans in the stands held up his cheering board, on which were written “Hit me here” in bold Chinese characters.
The open training started at 3:5 pm and lasted until pm, a total of one and a half hours. The players generally had a relatively relaxed and happy time, and Jiang Yuan was no exception (although he will represent the Chinese men's football team in open training tomorrow).
However, at around 9 o'clock that evening, the hot searches on major domestic browsers were suddenly filled with the words "Chelsea" and "Kennedy".
Dongqiudi reposted Kennedy's Instagram as soon as the incident happened. The young Brazilian player uploaded a video on his social media with the words "Porra China" (in Portuguese, Porra means something similar to fuck in English).
This is not the only video. In another video, Kennedy filmed a Chinese security guard dozing off against a door and wrote the words "Wake up, China" on the screen.
The Chelsea players are still resting now and have no idea that one of their teammates has done something stupid.
It was not until the next morning when Tuchel called Kennedy away for a meeting that the other players in the team knew what had happened.
"Look at this..."
Hazard showed Terry the content displayed on his phone. It was Kennedy's Twitter account. The words "wake up China" made Terry's pupils dilate violently.
Looking at Jiang Yuan who was sitting on the sofa on the right, his face was completely black at this moment.
According to the plan, Jiang Yuan was supposed to go to another hotel to report to the national football team at noon today, but Kennedy suddenly came up with this kind of thing.
Chelsea vs. Chinese men's football team, this is a very innovative match that is enough to be recorded in the history of warm-up matches in China, and it even has certain benefits for the reputation of Chinese football and the Football Association. As a result, Kennedy's two tweets directly blew up Chelsea's trip to China.
Pogba fixed his hair and said: "Why did he do such a thing? Now Brazilian clowns can look down on China? I should have shared a piece of stinky tofu with him when we ate it yesterday, otherwise he would not know the good of China."
Several people were whispering, and soon Kennedy walked out of the conference room next door. He had a calm expression. He picked up a mint candy from the coffee table and sat on the sofa.
Jiang Yuan stood up from his chair and walked straight towards where Kennedy was.
"Ahem, Jiang...Jiang?"
Kennedy stepped back involuntarily, but he couldn't really run away. He could only sit on the sofa and wait for Jiang Yuan to come over: "Jiang, is there anything I can help you with..."
Jiang Yuan didn't say anything. He reached out and grabbed Kennedy's collar, and pulled him up from the sofa: "Do you know what you are saying? Do you know what you are saying?"
"No, I mean, you misunderstood. I just used porra as an interjection. I didn't mean to insult the Chinese."
"Fuck!"
Jiang Yuan pulled Kennedy towards himself, then suddenly pushed him against the wall. Although Kennedy was nearly 1 meters tall and had a good weight, he was still a pure technical winger after all. He could clearly feel the difference in physical strength between himself and Jiang Yuan.
Not to mention that he couldn't defeat Jiang Yuan, even if he really couldn't defeat him, Kennedy wouldn't dare to push back!
"Hey, Jiang, listen to me, listen to me!"
Terry and Pogba quickly ran up and pulled Jiang Yuan away. The latter pointed at Kennedy's nose and said, "Porra is an interjection? Is this your attitude? So you are not going to apologize, right?"
"I will apologize! Thomas told me that Chelsea and I will apologize together. Jiang, believe me, I really didn't mean it!"
"Fuck!"
Jiang Yuan shook off Pogba's hand, turned around and walked out of the conference room.
"..."
Pogba and Terry looked at Kennedy at the same time: "Is this what you are capable of? Do you want to quit Chelsea or something? If you want to transfer, you can tell Thomas directly."
"No! I don't mean to transfer. Believe me, I really don't mean it!"
