Chapter 434 Let him go!The score was 0:2. Although they were playing away, Chelsea were still able to control the game, which made Pochettino on the bench realize a serious problem.
The 1:3 victory in the Community Shield was not a coincidence.
They really can't beat Chelsea this season!
"Push back, push their flanks back!"
Pochettino pushed his hands forward, hoping that the Tottenham players on the field would cooperate to stop Jiang Yuan and William from continuing to go down the bottom.
The Tottenham camp at the scene became more and more nervous!
It’s the same 3421, why can Chelsea play so well with 3421!
In the 71st minute of the game, Tottenham made two consecutive substitutions. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be Pochettino's last resistance.
"Tottenham's problem now is that their offense can't be played, they can't coordinate offense and defense"
"You can see that when Tottenham wants to defend, the midfield retreats to form a five-man defense. But once it becomes a five-man defense, there are no players in the frontcourt to support them. At this time, even if you complete a steal in the backcourt, you can't launch a counterattack in the end."
"Chelsea did a very good job in this regard. The two forwards, Jiang Yuan and William, and even the defensive midfielder kept going to the wing to harass the ball. In order to protect their goal, Tottenham had to switch to five defenders to expand the width of their defense."
"Like now, five defenders again"
"Sometimes you have to admit that two top wingers have a huge impact on the defensive tactics. Tottenham is now completely restricted."
"Well, Chelsea is looking for an opportunity again!"
The camera was focused on Pogba who was dribbling the ball on the field. The French midfielder dribbled the ball from the right to the middle, and while Pogba was changing his position, Hazard rushed up from behind and into Tottenham's penalty area.
"gogogo!"
Jiang Yuan shouted twice, and Pogba quickly passed the ball to Hazard who was making a forward run, then ran forward again. The two of them made a two-pass at the top of the arc, deceiving Dembele who was concentrating on defense.
Of course, Tottenham's defense was generally cautious under the five-defender system. When Pogba got the ball again, he was immediately pressed from the side by Son Heung-min.
Hazard ran to the right, while Jiang Yuan bypassed Peters and came to the left side of Pogba.
This kind of open position will not last long, as Peters behind will catch up soon. Fortunately, Pogba has good eyesight and immediately sees Jiang Yuan who is in the open position.
The ball was passed in front of Jiang Yuan, who shot the ball without stopping
boom!
The ball flew between Alderweireld and Dier and finally scored!
"GOOOOOO-AAAAAAA-LLLLLLL!!!!"
"The ball goes in! It's from Jiang Yuan, it's from Jiang Yuan's goal!"
"3:0! Oh my God, this is the score between Chelsea and Tottenham, 3:0!"
Huang Jianxiang could no longer contain his excitement. They were leading by 6 goals in the big3 match and had shut out their opponents. Except for Manchester United who performed somewhat poorly in recent seasons, no big6 team had been shut out by a big6 team with 3 goals!
"VAMOS!"
Azpilicueta rushed over from behind and put his arm around Jiang Yuan's neck.
"Jiang!"
Boom!
"Jiang!"
Boom!
Thousands of players in the away team's stands gave not particularly loud cheers, and in the final period of the second round of the league, Chelsea's top scorer finally scored his first goal!
Apart from Ibrahimovic, Jiang Yuan is the only one in Chelsea who has such a sense of smell at the front of the penalty area.
The camera turned to Tuchel, who also noticed the camera turning towards him, so he raised his right hand and gave a thumbs up.
However, this shot lasted less than 3 seconds, and the director immediately cut the shot away. The new shot showed Mourinho in the VIP stands. The Portuguese held the railing outside the box with one hand and pointed at Tuchel below with the other.
"Let him go down!"
"There are still games to come. Do you think I should play or not?"
"Let him go down!"
"wowow!"
Tottenham fans in the stands started to boo. Tuchel turned his head when he heard the noise and looked at the excited Tottenham fans in confusion.
Continuing to look up, Tuchel found Mourinho pointing at him and cursing in the VIP box.
Didn't you go to China? Why are you here?
"Get off the field! Get off the field! There's still the national team game!"
"Thomas, you can't do this!"
Tuchel was a little speechless. He just gave Mourinho in the stands a middle finger, then turned around and said, "Hey, Jiang, come on! Beautiful! Good shot!"
"wowoww!!!"
"Hahaha"
[Awesome, luckily the VIP box is on the 2nd floor, otherwise Mourinho would definitely rush down and stab Tuchel]
[What a talent! Although it is Saturday now, shouldn't you go back and practice with the national team? ]
[False understanding of football: The Chinese national football team needs to practice more to beat Uzbekistan; Real understanding of football: Without Jiang Yuan, we can’t win]
[Sure enough, Mourinho understands football, he knows how to win]
[Mourinho, go ahead and stab Tuchel! ]
[Hiss, Chelsea is really bad this season. Why don’t we give up the national team games and see if we can win the league title, or even the Champions League]
[Let the French in Chelsea give up the European qualifiers and next year's World Cup, but the Chinese cannot give up]
Tottenham fans in the first-floor stands looked up at Mourinho. The Portuguese blushed, looked around at the fans who were watching him, walked back into the box, and finally closed the glass door outside the box with a "click".
The Portuguese are warm-hearted. They will consider the players' playing time. When Mourinho coached Chelsea, he always let Jiang Yuan leave the field in the 90th or 91st minute. This is the best proof.
And the Germans are cold-blooded animals.
"76 minutes, it's already 76 minutes!"
Mourinho looked at the Tottenham officials around him and said, "It's been 76 minutes and you still don't let the main players rest. What on earth are you thinking?"
Tottenham officials were too embarrassed to speak, and Mourinho looked at his phone again: "Come on, it's already the 20th, and the 29th will play the game!"
"Selfish Tuchel will ruin Chinese football!"
……
Tuchel replaced Jiang Yuan with Alonso in the 85th minute and started a defensive style of play. In the end, Chelsea defended their 3-goal lead.
3:0 away to Tottenham, this is the result Chelsea achieved in the second round of the league this season!
In the locker room after the game, Tuchel praised the players for their outstanding performance in today's game.
This was the most successful game practice since the three-center-back system began training at the end of June. Moreover, most importantly, Chelsea not only implemented the three-center-back system, but also used the forward pulling technology arranged by Tuchel to restrict Tottenham's three-center-back system.
Jiang Yuan was splashing mineral water on Terry. He was very happy after scoring the goal, but at the same time he felt unprecedented pressure.
Compared with Mourinho, Tuchel will arrange several tactics in one game, or several games. As the core of the wing, Jiang Yuan's burden will become heavier and heavier.
This is reflected in the frequency of sprints. Jiang Yuan played for 85 minutes in this game, but his sprint times reached 27 times, which has exceeded the average of 21 times last season.
The same goes for Hazard. The Belgian is now lying on the bench with his stomach heaving up and down. It has been 5 minutes since the end of the game and he has not recovered yet!
After the game, Tuchel once again sat at the table in the press room at Wembley Stadium.
"Mr Thomas, you came to Wembley Stadium for an interview twice in two weeks. Many fans said you are the coach of the England national team. Well, you know, this is the home ground of the England national team."
"Hahaha"
Tuchel grinned: "Oh, this is recognition of me, thank you, but I am now the head coach of Chelsea. I am in good shape now and have no plans to coach the national team."
The first reporter livened up the serious atmosphere and then briefly asked the Germans about their views on the game.
"Pochettino said before the game that they had improved their tactics, but they scored a goal in the last game, but not even one goal in this game."
"Oh, I know that, I watched their pre-match interview too"
Tuchel told the truth. There was an LCD screen hanging in the locker room of Wembley Stadium, and it was through this that Tuchel saw the live interview of Pochettino with reporters a few hours ago.
"Mauricio, well... I think his improvement in tactics is good, but football cannot be completely based on tactics, condition is also an aspect"
Tuchel spread his hands: "Obviously we were in better shape than our opponents today, and that's why we won"
Tuchel remained relatively humble throughout the interview, which made Chelsea fans feel uncomfortable.
Mourinho is not like this!
Speaking of Mourinho.
"Thomas, we noticed that the former coach Mourinho spoke to you in the stands. The general content should be that he asked you to replace Jiang. Is that true?"
When the reporter asked the question, all the other reporters in the room were trying to hold back their laughter.
I have to say that Mourinho's actions were indeed outrageous and in line with everyone's stereotype of him.
“Yes, I know, I took his advice.”
Tuchel spread out his right hand: "You also saw that I replaced him at the end. This is a kind of protection for the players. I am willing to listen to his opinions."
"But we saw you gave him a middle finger. What does this middle finger mean?"
"Oh, you said this"
Tuchel laughed: "This is a friendly gesture. At least that's what I think. I use this gesture to show my respect to my predecessors."
"Yes, because if it weren't for Mourinho's wise choice in the transfer window, I might not have the opportunity to coach such an outstanding player like Jiang. Thank you, it feels really wonderful to work with top players. I will let Jiang play as much as possible and show himself as much as possible!"
It can be seen from his eyes that Tuchel is really grateful for Mourinho's contribution to Chelsea.
Chelsea is a wealthy club and is willing to pay Tuchel a high salary, which is why the German came to the Blues. Another reason is the stars in the Chelsea team, Jiang Yuan, Hazard, Pogba, Azpilicueta, Ibrahimovic, William...
Top players are very attractive to any coach, you can't deny that.

《曼市晚报》头版头条——4：0西汉姆联，4：0斯旺西，2轮8个净胜球登顶英超积分榜，曼联将要迎来朗尼克时代？
The Sun's front page headline - Two Manchester United fans unilaterally announced that the Premier League this season has ended, and were subsequently arrested by local police in Manchester for spreading rumors.
Tom Stones, England correspondent for L'Equipe: In this season's Champions League, two Premier League teams were placed in the second tier (Manchester City and Chelsea), and the situation in the Premier League's European competition may not be optimistic.
"Metro" - With two goals against Swansea, Manchester United's summer transfer target Lukaku scored 2 goals in 4 games, reversing the situation and becoming the first in the Golden Boot odds on a certain gambling website.
The Sun - After the game with Tottenham, Mourinho and Jiang took a flight to China at Heathrow Airport. The club initially rejected Mourinho's request to take Jiang away, but Mourinho said that he flew from China and did not want to make a wasted trip. In the end, Tuchel let Jiang go after receiving a call from Abramovich.
According to people familiar with the matter, Mourinho was warned by Abramovich that next time they would not allow Jiang to leave the club more than seven days before the national team match.
……
It was the morning of the 24th, Beijing time, and Jiang Yuan, after his rest, came to the training ground.
"Brother Yuan!"
Zhang Yuning walked towards Jiang Yuan with a bottle of mineral water, and then handed the water to Jiang Yuan: "I looked at the Premier League schedule, you have another game on the 27th, right?"
"We'll play Uzbekistan on the 29th, so we definitely won't be able to play on the 27th."
Jiang Yuan unscrewed the bottle cap and symbolically drank some water. Immediately, other players on the training ground came running over, and Wei Shihao even shook hands tightly with Jiang Yuan.
Boss Jiang Yuan really does what he says. Wei Shihao has indeed not encountered any racial discrimination issues since he returned to Lexon Ish last month.
“It’s all small stuff”
Jiang Yuan screwed the bottle cap back on and prepared to throw the mineral water bottle onto the grass, but Zhang Yuning said he could help put the bottle on the bench on the sidelines.
"Brother Hao, how do you feel in Portugal now?"
"It's OK. Without those things happening off the field, I can concentrate on playing football."
Wei Shihao and Jiang Yuan walked together to the bench in the training ground, which was where they rested during training: "In fact, the training intensity in the Portuguese League is much higher than that of the national team. By the way, that Mbappe, damn, I trained with him at the end of July."
Speaking of Mbappe, Wei Shihao's eyes seemed to be shining: "Fuck the guy next door, he can score in every training match, that guy is really perverted, but he has been loaned out, I only trained with him for 5 days"
"Brother Yuan, why did you buy Mbappe and then rent him out? Isn't that a loss?"
Wei Shihao raised his question. Jiang Yuan used a signing bonus of more than 1000 million euros to bring Mbappe, a striker at the level of the top five leagues, to a Portuguese club, and then loaned him to Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue . At the most exciting time, Lexion had to bear part of Mbappe's weekly salary during the loan period.
"Investment"
Jiang Yuan said indifferently: "Let's see if he can kick it out."
"Great!"
Wei Shihao expressed his sincere admiration. He had heard that the bonus used by Lexon Ischia to sign Mbappe was paid by Jiang Yuan personally, otherwise the club’s board of directors would not have agreed to the deal.
More than 1000 million euros, just for a possible investment.
This captain is not only rich, but also incredibly courageous!
"Beep!"
Brown blew the whistle and the players began to gather at the edge of the field. Mourinho put his hands in his pockets, glanced at the players who had gathered, and then began to announce the plan.
"There are still 5 days left for the competition, let's practice our endurance today"
As expected, when Mourinho said the word "endurance", the few players who knew a little English started wailing.
An athlete who has been playing football in China may not be good at English, but as long as there is a foreign coach in the team, he will definitely know the meaning of words such as "speed", "move" and "endurance". This is determined by the environment.
"Then Jiang, you, Wei, Liao, and the goalkeeper, you don't need to practice endurance, practice set pieces"
Mourinho explained his plan and the reason for doing so: "Uzbekistan, is that right? Well, their position is relatively dense, we may have to make a breakthrough through a set-piece"
Mourinho is actually quite frustrated. The teams he previously led, such as Porto, Inter Milan and Chelsea, did not rely on set pieces to find opportunities. Mourinho certainly wants to improve the Chinese national team to a level where they do not need set pieces and can crush their opponents through mobile warfare.
The idea is good, but time is short and some players in the team have not yet developed the endurance level. At this time, we can only ask God for help temporarily.
"How did you say that?"
Mourinho pointed at Jiang Yuan, who was confused: "Which sentence?"
"It's a last-minute effort!"
Wei Shihao reminded him, and Mourinho immediately clapped his hands: "Yes, yes, that's it, we need to hold on to the Buddha's toes, so that we have a chance to win the next game. Uzbekistan, I watched their game, they are weak, but we are weaker!"
Two training sessions were carried out simultaneously. The physical coach from Lyon Club was responsible for supervising the training programs of the endurance group, while Mourinho came to Wei Shihao and Liao Lisheng.
There is definitely a big gap in the set-piece abilities of Wei Shihao, Liao Lisheng and Jiang Yuan, and the purpose of Mourinho's training this time is not to really train these two players in free kicks.
How can you hold on to Buddha's toes at the last minute?
The answer is a feint. Wei Shihao, Liao Lisheng and Jiang Yuan need to develop a tactic to be used for set-piece situations.
“You need to fake the movement.”
Mourinho began to demonstrate as he spoke. He and Brown ran towards the ball from Jiang Yuan's left and right sides, and finally stepped over respectively.
"Yes, that's it. Then Jiang, you go and shoot. This run is just a demonstration. You have to choose according to the situation at the time. We don't necessarily have to have three people standing behind the ball, but we need to train according to higher standards. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Come on, beep!"
Brown blew the whistle, and the auxiliary training team ran up and began to set up human wall props on the grass.
In the evening, the players left the physiotherapy room one after another, while Mourinho and Brown were still sitting at the table in the cafeteria.
"The national team's training mission is basically not difficult for Jiang. Perhaps we can ask the physical training team to customize a physical training plan for Jiang."
Brown put forward his own idea. He discovered this problem as early as June when he stayed at the base for additional training.
The fact is, Jiang Yuan's training with the national team can only maintain his current competitive level, but cannot improve it.
"It's okay. I asked him to come back early so that he can adapt to the national team's tactics. Chelsea is now playing with three central defenders, which is very different from our 4231."
Mourinho picked up the AD calcium milk on the table and took a deep breath out of habit: "Wow, Lyon, have you discovered that whether it is food or drink, the Chinese know better than us."
"What about physical training? We can't not arrange physical training for Jiang, right?"
“That’s fine.”
Mourinho leaned back on his chair and said, "The training and the match will only last for two weeks. We only need to arrange some strength training to ensure that Jiang's muscles are not lost. As for improving Jiang's physical ability, that is what Chelsea should do."
Mourinho has worked at Chelsea, and the level of the Blues' physical trainer is not comparable to those of the Chinese Super League clubs. Players like Jiang Yuan who rely more on their physical fitness need to undergo a comprehensive physical examination every two weeks.
Rozovic will find a way to make Jiang Yuan more powerful!
As for Mourinho, he has his own ideas. Jiang Yuan only spends a short time in the national team at a time, so he wants to make effective use of this time as much as possible.
That’s Portuguese time management!
"Jose, I feel like you're under a lot of pressure right now"
Brown looked at Mourinho in front of him and said what he had always wanted to say but had not said yet.
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"You rarely worked overtime at night before, but now you live directly in the base dormitory. This really surprises me."
Brown smiled and said that Mourinho, who earns 2000 million euros a year, lives in a player dormitory of dozens of square meters. Many people probably can't accept it if they tell others about it.
Just because Mourinho lives in the dormitory, the national team players have no complaints about living in the players' dormitory.
"No, Leon, you don't understand!"
Mourinho shook his head: "Do you know how a person can realize himself? I mean, how to prove one's ability?"
"Salary? Jose, your salary is already the highest among all football coaches."
"No, it can't be salary. How can it be salary?"
Mourinho flatly denied Brown: Salary can only reflect the level of the coach, but it cannot deny the level of the coach. Do you know what the right approach is? "
“Decades after your death, many people still know your name. That’s success.”
"Well……"
Brown took a deep breath and stared blankly at Mourinho in front of him: "You have great ambitions, but... do you really think you can bring China to a decent level?"
“It’s difficult, but everything that can prove oneself is not easy”
“The harder the challenge, the greater the achievement!”
Gurgle gurgle, Mourinho finished the AD calcium milk in his hand.
