"Oooo Giroud scratched his head, his face flushed, he felt that he must be humiliating for what he had just done, that he needed the encouragement of an 18-year-old.
Cordic also laughed, he thought it was funny, and Jones, who was a little shy, would go to encourage people!
Giroud was a little embarrassed, but he was happy that Jones seemed to be getting along well, which made him feel that the rest of the day should not be too difficult.
"Jones, you're a genius, at the age of 18 you did something that a lot of players can't do in a lifetime, you're right, as a striker you should be domineering, I shouldn't be disappointed, I'm going to try to get back in shape." Giroud said as he patted 18-year-old Jones on the shoulder.

Three days later, on 13 February 2018, the 27th round of the Premier League fixture, Chelsea Stadium and West Bromwich Albion matched.
Stamford Bridge.
The game has now reached 68 minutes, and the score is still 0-0 on the scoreboard of the stadium.
'Chelsea were in control of the situation on the pitch, but they still couldn't get on the scoresheet, counting the previous games Chelsea looked like they were about to collapse, could it be because Jones didn't play!'
'West Brom are back in full defence now, their purpose is very clear, which is to hold on to the draw and get a point, West Brom can afford to get the deuce, Chelsea can't afford it, Manchester City are in hot pursuit behind Chelsea.
The sideline camera gave Jones a close-up on the bench, today's game, Hazard showed no effort, he was in very good shape, the game has been so far, there are at least two inevitable scoring opportunities, but unfortunately, today Bisbi's goalkeeper Ben Foster was like a god, saving both of Hazard's shots.
In the 70th minute, Giroud received a pass from Eden Hazard and shot at goal, goalkeeper Ben Foster was unable to do anything, but West Brom defender Evans blocked the ball in front of the goal line.
'West Bromwich Albion had so much luck today that their manager Alain Pardu didn't expect to take a draw at Chelsea!' The narrator explained.
West Bromwich Albion fans laughed and the visitors were happy, but the mood was terrible for Chelsea fans, who failed to find the back of the net with a number of threatening shots, which made Chelsea fans feel that they were unlucky today, and they have even begun to accept the first dull draw after the winter transfer.
The camera also gave a close-up of Giroud on the field, his shirt was not clean at all, Giroud was very hard today, because today was his first Chelsea start, but West Bromwich Albion's defenders were very protective of him, and he didn't know how many times he fell today.
Giroud didn't have a good look on his face, it was his first start, he couldn't afford to be stuffy, he wanted a win and a good start to his first start.
……………………
In the 75th minute of the game, Kodic replaced Pedro with Jones, who had already warmed up, and in the 77th minute, Chelsea's corner kick.
Hazard stood at the corner flag, holding up two fingers.
Seeing this, Jones immediately ran forward, and Hegazi, who was defending him, immediately followed Jones, but he didn't expect that at the moment when Hazard took a corner kick, Jones, who was originally running towards the front point, suddenly rushed to the back point!
Fooled! Hegazi was shocked and was about to follow, but as a defender, he was left behind by the striker, and the result can be imagined! Jones, who got rid of Hegazi, rushed to the back point, and he jumped!
He didn't have a West Brom player around him, and Jones jumped up and made a move calmly! He was going to head it straight at goal, but he saw Ben Foster move quickly to block his angle.
Jones immediately changed his mind and caught a glimpse of a hole on the left side of the goal! Because he jumped up and prepared to head the goal, which caught the attention of all the West Brom defenders!
And on the left side of the goal, Jones saw Giroud, who was 192cm tall! Jones didn't hesitate! Turn a header into a header ferry!
Neither the defenders nor Foster could touch the football, they could only watch it fly over the head of Giroud, who was unguarded in front of goal!
Giroud is tall and big, he can see clearly, he saw Jones's action just now, and thought that Jones was heading the goal, but he immediately saw the line of the football behind him, and knew that Jones was a header ferry!
Giroud jumped high, shook his head directly at the goal, smashed the football in front of the goal, and with his height jumped up again to hit the goal, the ball bounced in front of the goal, and then flew towards the goal, in the face of such a shot, no one could stop it, the football smashed to the ground, and then bounced into the goal!
After waiting for nearly 80 minutes, the Chelsea commentator finally had the opportunity to shout: "The ball is in!" Entered! Entered! 1 to 0! In the moment when he needed to score the most, Jones stepped up again, his header was crossed, and Chelsea's winter signing Olivier Giroud's header was beautiful! A beautiful goal, the moment when the Chelsea fans needed it most! ”
'Chelsea are 1-0 up West Brom! It was a goal that didn't come easily! Olivier Giroud's goal, he got on the end of Jones' pass and scored the ball! It could be the goal that sealed the game! It was also Giroud's first goal since joining Chelsea! ”
Giroud was so excited after the goal that he rushed to the corner flagpole and yelled before Giroud ran towards Jones and hugged him.
Kordic, who was on the sidelines, was also excited, applauding his players loudly and applauding the goal.
Although this goal is good, it is not very exciting, but the process of this goal and the meaning behind the goal make Kodic very satisfied.
If Jones chose to head the goal at that time, he would not be able to score, although Foster blocked a certain angle of shot, but, with Jones's strength, there was still a great chance to score, however, at that time, Jones chose the safest way, the header was ferried to Giroud.
Jones is now getting more and more general, he is starting to understand what he should do on the pitch, Jones is now the flag star of Chelsea, the first task is to help the team score goals, lead the team to victory, whether it is a goal or an assist, there is only one purpose, to score goals, to win the game!
In the end, Chelsea Castle won the game with a narrow 1-0 home win over West Brom thanks to Jones' assist for Olivier Giroud's goal, securing a 12-game winning streak in the league.
