Jones, who was sweating profusely, heard something fall on the ground with a thud.

Jones turned to look, smiled and picked up the mineral water that had been smashed out of the bottle.

Jones unscrewed the bottle and took a quick sip: "Thanks, I just need to rehydrate." ”

Kodic walked up to him: "I'll give you a day off, why are you still working so hard, the next game is very important!" ”

"I didn't play in the last game, I really don't know what to do, so I have to come and train, why are you here!" Jones said after drinking a bottle of water, his body was not idle, and he put the bottle on the ground, and then aimed at the trash can in the distance, and kicked the bottle vigorously.

"I'm just like you, and I'm really not worth doing anything except studying the game now." Kodic's tone was one of helplessness.

Jones saw the bottle bounce out of the trash can, but didn't kick it into the trash can, turned around and said helplessly: "yes, we can't do without football, I can't imagine how it would feel when I can't play football one day." ”

Kodic smiled and said: "You are still very young, that day is still far away, even when the day comes you can still go to be a coach, anyway, you will not leave football!" ”

Jones said with relief: "Yes, I'm still very young, and I can't live without football in this life. ”

"Don't be too tired, go back early, combine work and rest, and you can be the main force of the team in the next game." Kodic stood up and walked to the trash can, threw the bottle in, turned around and said: "If you have so much time, go back and study the Barcelona game at home, maybe it will help you, there should be some of it that will be useful for you." ”

………………

Jones went home and watched a number of recent Barcelona games at home with Stella, who was also fine, and after watching a few games, Jones was silent on the sofa for a long time.

Half a day later, he spit out a sentence: "I still underestimate Barcelona, their home stadium can be called the home of the devil." ”

Seeing what Stella wanted to say, Jones took a step forward and said: "Don't try to comfort me, I don't need to comfort, I just said that I underestimated them, and didn't say that I was afraid of them." ”

"Since you say so, all right." Stella turned and walked to the kitchen.

Jones said to Stella, "I'll go out for a walk and I'll be back in a minute!" ”

Jones got fully dressed, walked out of the villa, onto the road, and after walking for about a mile, Jones began to turn back again.

He saw people coming and going on the road from time to time, and as he passed Jones, the passers-by looked at him with very strange eyes, and two women tried to come up and talk to him, but Jones didn't pay attention to any of them, he was staring ahead, thinking aimlessly.

Jones walked back and forth before calming down his excitement: "You're back, let's get ready for dinner, you guys will go directly to Barcelona tomorrow to prepare for the game!" It's been a few days since we've seen each other! ”

"Yes, go 3 days early!"

……………………

Two days before the Barcelona game, the Chelsea players arrived at Barcelona to begin their pre-match preparations.

It was supposed to be a crucial game, and the last game was a total of nine goals scored by both sides, and this was the second leg of the Premier League and La Liga, which led to more fans flocking to the city, and the hotels, restaurants, and stadiums in the city of Barcelona suddenly became more tense than ever.

The first time Jones arrived in Barcelona, he and his teammates went to the restaurant to eat local specialties, although Jones and they were dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, and when they got off the bus, they still attracted countless screams from passers-by and the flash of the camera.

Many people even want to follow in the footsteps of the stars and enter the restaurant to see their idols up close, but fortunately, this restaurant is reservation-based, and it has long been full, and the management is very strict, and the security guards blocked anyone who wants to fish in troubled waters, so Jones and his party did not receive any harassment after entering the restaurant.

"You don't mind if I brought so many people to eat and drink, right?" After setting up the large army he had brought in, Cahill walked up to the manager and said.

"Naturally, I don't mind, it's too late to welcome, how can you mind, you go to the private room first, it's ready for you." The manager said that the waiter led the crowd and turned around to go.

Cahill sneaked up to Jones again and said, "I've been here a few times, and I've eaten at this restaurant, and I have to make an appointment here at least half a month in advance!" Fortunately, I know the manager very well, but this time I have to let you break the bank, who has made you the most popular recently! ”

Jones's lips moved slightly: "How can I have a feeling of being fooled, but I am in a good mood when I come here, I will pay for it!" ”

Cahill triumphantly gestured to the rest of his teammates, meaning that it had been successful, and then the first to walk into the private room, Jones noticed that something was wrong, but just smiled and walked in.

After entering, what had to be said was still to be said, and Jones sat down and said, "I feel like someone is betraying me, whose idea is it this time?" ”

Cahill turned around slowly, smiling at Jones without saying anything.

"It shouldn't have been the captain who came up with it, it's not you, Hazard!"

Hazard wondered: "Jones? What is not me! ”

Jones hooked Hazard over, wrapped his arm around Hazard's shoulder, and strangled him tightly!

"Judging by your reflection, it should be you, but who made us have a good relationship, I don't mind at all." Jones spoke in a friendly tone.

"What do you say, I don't understand!?" Hazard is still confused.

"Don't tease him, it's my idea!" Cahill said.

Jones was stunned for a moment and smiled: "It turned out to be the most honest captain's idea, but I really didn't expect it!" ”

"That's good, I don't know what's delicious here, captain order, if it's not delicious, I won't pay for it!" Jones said with a smile.

Cahill said, "The steak here is the best, so let's have some steak first, not enough to eat anything else!" ”

At this time, the manager of the restaurant also walked in, and when he heard this, he asked the waiter to prepare the food first, and then saw that everyone had nothing to need, and he also walked out.

At the dinner table, the players talked for a moment about the Champions League situation, and slowly the topic was introduced into the game, mentioning Barcelona.

Koudic didn't discuss this with his players, he kept thinking about adding to the squad, which is no longer a chance this season, but will have to be added next season.

Starting next season, Chelsea will be a thorn in the side of many teams, and if Chelsea want to go one step further, the club will have to increase its investment in the transfer market this summer.

The backfield is the place where the most fresh blood needs to be replenished, the team's current backline is okay to cope with the domestic league cup competition, and in the future, the team has more and more fronts and more and more fierce games, Kodic can't put the pressure of winning on the strikers who score more goals than the opponent, and the four goals conceded by Barcelona in their home games are the biggest problem.

The teams that can participate in the Champions League are very good, if the back line can't provide the most help to the team, then the back line will be penetrated, and Emerson, who was bought on a winter transfer, has hardly played and has been recovering from injuries.

In the frontcourt, as long as you don't sell people, you don't need to continue to buy people, Jones, Hazard, Costa, and Willian are all in their playing years, and they have been in good shape, and the four of them are enough to support the team's offensive line.
