Naturally, the newspapers in London reported on the pre-match press conference.

While eating in the training ground's cafeteria, Costa pointed to the words of the newspaper and said to Jones: "Hey, Jones, you are being slighted!" But what he said was so much to me! ”

"What's that talking about?" Jones asked casually, smiling when he asked.

Costa told Jones what Di Francisco meant.

Jones pouted at first, then he shrugged and said, "I don't care, what he says I'm going to win him too, it doesn't matter what the outcome of the game is, but I don't seem to have any conflict with him, right?" ”

Captain Cahill was chatting with Azpilicueta and said to him: "I think he must have wanted to provoke Jones, he thought Jones was young and would impulsively fight them alone, so that Jones would be less of a threat!" ”

Azpilicueta nodded in agreement: "Unfortunately, Di Francisco doesn't know that Jones is the most calm player in our team. ”

However, when he said this, everyone did not have a good impression of him, so that there was no need for pre-war mobilization for a long time.

Hazard walked over to Jones with a smile and said: "Di Francesco is taking the initiative to provoke, one is really hoping that Jones you will single them out in the game, and the other is to provoke the relationship between you and Costa,......, what will you two do when you encounter such a situation?" ”

Costa suddenly realized: "I understand. ”

Jones gave Hazard a thumbs up: "You are still good, you can see the other party's thoughts and intentions at a glance."

"Hahaha, however, he also underestimates us too much, and he still expects us to be fooled by this carving insect skill." Costa said disdainfully, and there was a burst of laughter in the restaurant.

At this time, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and Kodic, who had just walked into the restaurant with the coaching staff, was obviously extremely satisfied when he heard the loud chatting laughter of his players.

…………

The game came soon, Chelsea hosted Roma, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Chelsea will host Roma, both teams announced the game squad before the game, Chelsea, including Cahill returned from injury, Hazard was selected, Giroud was not selected.

For Roma, midfielders Nainggolan and Manuel Pellegrini returned, but Turkish winger Junder was absent through injury.

With just over an hour to go, Stamford Bridge was packed, with Chelsea fans lighting fireworks in the stands and smoke filling the pitch as they waited for the game to begin.

The game is about to start in a moment, and now head coach Kodic is making the final tactical arrangements and pre-game instructions before the game.

'It's a big game for us and of course, at this point, every game is important, it's our home stadium, let's decide the winner and the next away game a little bit of a cut-off.

Everyone nodded, if possible, who would not want to fight hard at the opponent's home stadium, and a direct win of the two-legged match at home is the best result.

"Jones, what do you think of this game?" Kodic suddenly called Yang Fan's name. Kodic is now more and more aware of Jones's importance in the team, although he is the youngest in the team, but as the absolute offensive core of the team, as the team's top scorer and banner star, Jones has a say, and what he says, how he performs, will also directly affect the performance of the whole team.

Moreover, Cordic also knows Jones's character better, Jones is a person who is extremely hungry for victory! He asked Jones because he knew what Jones' attitude was, and he needed Jones to take a stand and boost the morale of the whole team!

"You all know, Di Francesco looks down on me, so I'm going to make a memorable memory for him in this game, of course, it's not possible without everyone's help, I need to score!"

"Hahaha! No problem! There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

Costa also complained, "Jones, you can't do this, I still want to score!?" ”

"Haha, just kidding, it's important that we win, whoever has a good chance is whoever!"

"Alright, it's almost time, let's get ready to play." Kodic clapped his hands and said to the players.

"Guys, let's go." Cahill, the captain of the team, raised his arms and shouted.

The players are coming out of the box.

'Friends, welcome to the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, where Chelsea host Roma! I have to say that Chelsea have been very good this season, beyond everyone's expectations, and we have reason to expect that Chelsea will give us a good game at home! ”

Then the radio began to broadcast the home team's starting line-up for the day, and every player's name was read out, which drew huge cheers from the stands.

Chelsea formation 3421: Players: Courtois, Cesar Azpilicueta, Gary Cahill, Rudiger, Max Alonso, Kante, Cesc Fabregas, Moses, Hazard, Jones, Costa

Away Roma formation 433: Players: Alisson Becker, Kolarov, Manolas, Facio, Bruno Perez, Stroman, De Rossi, Pellegrini, Perotti, Dzeko, Fiorenzi

The match is the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Chelsea and Roma officiated by Dutch referee Danny Macklee.

The 35-year-old Markley whistled Manchester United 1-2 Sevilla in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final a few weeks ago.

It will also be his first Chelsea game and his second in charge of Roma, the first being last season's Europa League 1/16 final first leg against Villarreal Roma 0-4, with Markley averaging 3.17 yellow cards per game.

Markley now held the football and walked out of the players' corridor first, and the players followed him in an orderly manner.

"It's on!"

"Guys, let's go!"

The captains of both teams shouted at the same time.

Seeing Jones walk out of the players' corridor, the Chelsea fans in the stands shouted excitedly.

'Jones has conquered all Chelsea fans as a conqueror, and he will definitely leave a special mark on Chelsea and football in the future!'

Jones stood on the pitch, he raised his head and looked at the stadium stands, looking at the whole stadium was a blue ocean, the whole stadium was full, and the shouts of the Chelsea fans in the stadium made Jones feel more energetic!

When De Rossi and Cahill guessed the side before the game, it was De Rossi who won, so Roma got the kick-off.

Before the game, the media generally believed that Roma, who were on the weaker side, would retract their defense in this game and focus on defensive counter-attacks, relying on solid overall defense and excellent counter-attacks with speed to sneak up on their opponents.

However, they were surprised by what happened after the start of the game, and five minutes into the game, Roma had two shots on goal, both of which were within the woodwork.

Are Roma going to play attacking football at Chelsea's home stadium, and they're going to play against Chelsea?
