If you look closely, you will see that the number of fans holding the Chelsea number 9 shirt accounts for a large proportion, which indirectly explains Jones's current status in the hearts of Chelsea fans.

Despite the cold, damp early winter in London, and a down jacket to wear when going out, Jones began to sweat after a long and fierce confrontation.

"Jones, come down and rest." Kordic replaced Jones with Barkley, and Kordic handed Jones a bottle of water and casually asked, "How are you feeling now?" ”

"There's no problem." Jones said and kicked twice with his right foot, and after the team doctor gave the whole team a physical examination, Jones's leg was fine, but it was still less intense exercise, and it was not easy to get injured, and Kodic was still not at ease.

Speaking of which, except for these two games, Jones has rarely missed Chelsea's games this season, and the physical exertion is still huge, but his physique is very good, and after the conditioning of the team doctor and physiotherapists, there are no major problems.

Kodic nodded, let Jones follow the physiotherapist to massage, he himself also set his eyes on the training ground, the reporters outside the field watched this scene outside the training ground, and couldn't help but sigh, the relationship between Jones and Kodic can be said to be like father and son, Jones is Kodic has grown step by step to the present, Kodic is the most concerned about Jones...

Jones was lying on the sidelines, the physiotherapist was massaging him, closing his eyes and enjoying it, but they couldn't rest yet because tomorrow was the 23rd round of the Premier League at home to Leicester City, and the next round of the Premier League was a week after this game, so the players had time to rest.

The training match was also a training match for Ross Barkley, who had been transferred over the winter, and Chelsea paid a transfer fee of around £15 million, with the 24-year-old signing a five-and-a-half-year contract with Chelsea and becoming the first homegrown player since Frank Lampard to wear the Chelsea number eight shirt.

Ross Barkley, born in Liverpool on December 5, 1993, is an English homegrown player, 1.86 meters tall, scored 2 goals in 22 national team appearances, is an Everton academy player, has played for Everton, Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United on loan.

Born in Liverpool, Ross Barkley joined the Everton Academy at the age of 11 and has since been a natural mainstay in the youth team at all levels.

They can all get early opportunities to make their mark in the first team, and Ross Barkley was no exception, with the 17-year-old making his debut in the squad for the number 32 shirt in the fifth round of the 10/11 season at home to Newcastle.

However, the 13/14 season was Barkley's blowout period, and Roberto Martinez was a profound influence on him, with Martinez fixing the youngster who had been experimented with by David Moyes in various positions in midfield in his 4-2-3-1 system.

Barkley scored his first Premier League goal in a 2-2 draw at Norwich City in the first round of the league and cemented his place in Martinez's mind, scoring six goals in 25 starts in a total of 35 league appearances that season, helping Everton to qualify for next season's Europa League as they finished fifth.

He was also voted the club's Young Player of the Year for the second year in a row, and ushered in the debut of the senior Three Lions, and for a while, Barkley was praised by public opinion as the future leader of the England national team, Frank Lampard's successor, etc., and the limelight was unparalleled.

But the first injury of his career seemed to bring the fast-rising Barkley back to reality, with a ligament strain that sidelined him from all the first two months of the 14/15 season.

Even after he returned from injury, Barkley was unable to regain the glory of the previous season, and it was not until Martinez's final year in charge that Barkley returned to his best form and played the best season of his career so far.

Not only did he score a new league goal in a single season, with 8 goals in 38 games, but he also led the team to the semi-finals of two domestic cup competitions, but he led the team to miss the European competition for two consecutive years, so Martinez was abandoned by Everton, who already had enough money to build a team to qualify for the Champions League, and Ronald Koeman became Barkley's new boss.

With a new owner, a new coach, and persuaded Lukaku to renew his contract, Everton, who is bent on making great achievements, has never been able to make the native Barkley settle down, although throughout the 16/17 season, Barkley has become the team's number one key passer 84 times, repeatedly creating lethal scoring opportunities for Lukaku, but Koeman's constant change of formation has made him unable to play in a stable system, and the team's continuous injuries have led to the inability to improve the performance, and he has missed the Champions League qualification early. In the end, they only finished seventh in the league.

The club's results fell short of expectations, Lukaku's departure and the uncertainty of Koeman's system, which made Barkley reluctant to renew his contract with Everton, and Barkley, who was originally asked by the club for more than 50 million pounds, as the contract year also forced Koeman to accept the reality of selling at a reduced price, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United and other giants have taken the opportunity to throw an olive branch to this homegrown young talent with household registration attributes.

Defending league champions Chelsea had the upper hand after a wrestling affair with the giants, but Ross Barkley, who was supposed to have come in the summer, suffered a tendon injury during pre-season training last summer that forced the transfer that could have been completed on the deadline day of the transfer window to be postponed, and Barkley finally got his wish after being out for almost half a year due to injury.

Ross Barkley's speed and strength, as well as his excellent technique, are reminiscent of Gascoigne, and the media like to title him a reincarnation or a combination of who and one for all, and Barkley is no different.

Martinez has described Barkley as a combination of Gascoigne and Ballack's technical characteristics, and even Chelsea's former No. 8 Frank Lampard has said that Barkley has let him see the shadow of Rooney, from Barkley's personal characteristics, it is not surprising that he has been named these titles, abundant fitness, strong physique and considerable speed make him not inferior in confrontations on the field, with accurate passing skills, keen forward running awareness and impressive long-range heavy artillery scoring ability, The 24-year-old England international is one of the few wizards in world football who combines physicality and skill at his feet.

Barkley's long-range shot from the perimeter is the main means of scoring goals, and he can play unreasonably violent long-range shots, as well as spinning the ball into the opposition through a beautiful arc, for Chelsea, who have been beaten by their opponents this season, Barkley is the simplest and most brutal solver, and his composure and concentration in the game give Barkley the ability to accurately hand the ball to the right player in attack.

In the past, he has always been able to establish an efficient link between Everton and Romelu Lukaku, providing a very threatening supply for the latter, who has been the fulcrum of attack, and has been an important driving force behind the latter's gradual emergence as a top goalscorer in recent years.

Barkley lacks acceleration and dribbling skills are relatively rough, which is often easy to delay the team's overall defensive counter-attack in rapid advancement, and in the face of adversity, Barkley also needs to polish his resilience like Lampard through more experience, after all, if you want to become the core of the future Three Lions and the Blues' double midfield, it is difficult to withstand the pressure exerted on and off the pitch without complete and strong mental strength.

Joining a club like Chelsea is undoubtedly one of the best platforms for Ross Barkley to become a world-class star, and it is also the only way for a group of people from humble backgrounds to seek success.

Under the unique style of football in the British Isles, there is no shortage of outstanding young midfielders like Lampard and Barry who debuted in non-top giants, and they must jump to a larger platform to experience and realize their personal value at a stage of personal growth.

From Chelsea's predecessor Frank Lampard, Barkley may be able to see some similar historical background, as a former blue eight, Lampard also jumped to Stamford Bridge at the age of 24 amid a curse from his old club fans, and it was Ranieri who signed him.

At Chelsea, Frank Lampard progressed from a central midfielder to an attacking midfielder, eventually transforming himself into one of the most prolific midfielders of his time under Jose Mourinho.

Ross Barkley, who has now taken over the No. 8 shirt, is more of a role player that Chelsea have brought in to fill the bench depths, and Barkley looks to be in a more obvious competition for the same position with Cesc Fabregas, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Danny Drinkwater.

However, Ross Barkley has more positional flexibility than the latter three, having played roles as a left midfielder, right midfielder and even a right winger in David Moyes' early years and in Ronald Koeman's formation last season.

Ross Barkley, who is more evenly matched physically, technically and mentally, could be transformed into a very flexible tactical piece, allowing Chelsea to have a more varied tactical variety.

Early in the morning, Jogging along the park path, Jones was dressed in plain tracksuit and wore a hood over his head to cover his forehead, he didn't want to be recognized by passers-by, he needed to focus more on adjusting his condition.

He slept in his apartment yesterday when he returned to London, and Jones slept for more than 12 hours, waking up early in the morning and not driving, opting to jog to the training ground, which was the last game of the round, which would give Jones more time to adjust.
