The referee looked at his watch and blew the whistle for the start of the game, and when Jones kicked the ball to Eden Hazard, there were cheers in the stadium and the Chelsea fans were really cheering for the game.

In a key matchup in the 6th round of Group C of the Champions League group stage, Chelsea sat at home to face Atletico Madrid, Chelsea beat Atletico Madrid 3-2 in the first leg, although Chelsea has qualified for the group one round ahead of schedule, and is currently at the top of the group, but this time at home against Atletico Madrid, Chelsea soldiers can not be careless, after all, Chelsea's current European winning record does not want to lose.

Although Juventus, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are all second in the group, Kodic is still aiming for top of the group, so although it is possible to draw teams such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Juventus, it means that it makes no difference whether they are first or second in the group.

Eden Hazard as Chelsea's number one star last season, Hazard's recent form has been very good, the Belgian's performance against Newcastle in the last round is close to his peak form, this time at home to Atletico Madrid, Chelsea fans are expected to continue to enjoy Hazard's wonderful performances, and Jones has been substituted for a round of games, starting again, and the new and old number one stars are likely to put on a wonderful performance.

'I don't think Hazard has reached the peak of his career, I think he still has a lot of room for improvement, Jones and Hazard are both young players and it's important for them to work, work, work and give to improve themselves.

Atletico have only one glimmer of hope of qualifying, although they are third in La Liga, but in the Champions League, Atletico Madrid's performance this season has been quite poor, Simeone's side were not only beaten at home by Chelsea, but also twice held to a draw by fish belly side Qarabag, if it were not for the 2-0 win over Roma in the last round, Atletico would have lost hope of advancing to the knockout round.

At present, Atletico Madrid are still two points behind Roma, who are second in the group, and to seize the last chance, Atletico must not only win away from Chelsea, but also hope that Roma will draw or even lose to Qarabag, who are bottom of the group, otherwise Simeone will have to lead the team to the Europa League.

After the first five rounds of the group stage, Chelsea topped the group with 15 points and advanced to the round of 16, while Atletico Madrid finished third with six points.

Chelsea and Atletico Madrid have met six times in their history, with the Blues winning three, drawing two and losing one. In the first leg of this season's meeting, Chelsea beat Atletico Madrid 3-2 at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

Chelsea currently have 15 points, seven points ahead of Roma, Atletico Madrid is now hanging by a thread, Atletico's points situation is very unsatisfactory, this is because even if they beat Chelsea, they may not be able to qualify, because if Atletico Madrid wins, the points are 9 points, and if Roma beat Qarabag, the points will come to 11 points, in this case, Atletico will still be eliminated.

If Atletico wins and Roma draw, the two teams will have 9 points, and Roma will face Atletico Madrid with 1 draw and 1 loss, in which case, Atletico will advance, but if Atletico cannot win against Chelsea, they will be eliminated anyway.

Starting line-ups, Chelsea: Thibaut Courtois; Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen, Cahill; N'Golo Kante, Cesc Fabregas, Bakayoko, Alonso, Costa; Hazard, Jones

Atletico goalkeeper: 13-Oblak, defenders: No. 2 Godin, No. 3 Felipe Luiz, No. 15 Savic, No. 18 Lucas.

Midfielders: No. 5 Thomas, No. 10 Carrasco, No. 14 Gabi, No. 22 Gaitan

Forwards: No. 7 Griezmann, No. 9 Torres.

Playing on their own familiar pitch, the Chelsea players had a great psychological advantage, they patiently sent the ball to the midfield and began to fall to the ground, Atletico only Thomas, Gabi, Griezmann and Torres rushed across the halfway line to press, the rest of the others obediently stayed in their own half, this time Lucas was in charge of marking Jones.

The ball flew off Andreas Christensen's feet and his long pass was Chelsea's first attack of the game, and it was none other than Jones, Chelsea's current top scorer.

Jones just started to chase the ball, and immediately noticed that something was wrong, although Lucas, who was guarding himself, was also running back, but he was not in a hurry to chase the ball, but chose the card position for the first time, after Jones moved to the right, Lucas blocked half of his running route again.

Jones started to sprint, which was delayed by Lucas's two slots, and when he got around Lucas again, he saw that Atletico defender Savis had already taken advantage of the time to run to the spot and control the ball at his feet.

This change made Jones obviously feel that Atletico Madrid's defense of himself had undergone some changes, and after looking at Lucas, who continued to follow him, Jones couldn't help but draw a big question mark in his heart.

Two minutes later, when Atletico's cross was headed over by N'Golo Kante, Chelsea's counter-attack was played, and after the ball was picked up by Cesc Fabregas, the Spaniard turned and handed it straight to Costa in front, and Jones and Eden Hazard immediately ran vigorously the moment they played the ball in Cesc Fabregas.

Costa, who received the ball, felt the strong pressure exerted by Gabi behind him, and immediately knocked the ball back to Hazard who ran up, and at the same time smiled: Chelsea's trident combination does not just rely on individual bodies to fight!

After Hazard, who ran to the front, took the ball, he did not try to break through Ambrosini who was pressing, but pumped his right foot and kicked the ball out directly, and in mid-air, the ball drew an arc and fell to the left of Atletico Madrid's big penalty area! After most of the season, the tacit understanding between Jones, Costa and Hazard has already been considered a good idea, and when Eden Hazardo got the ball, Jones ran from right to left from a position parallel to him.

But when Hazard passed, Jones just wanted to accelerate again, but suddenly felt that his shirt was pulled by the person behind him, and when he accelerated again, he could only watch Hazard's pass be pushed out by Atletico Madrid's Godin.

"Kodic! Something is wrong! Off-pitch, Osilai saw that Jones had failed to receive a pass from a teammate twice, and immediately felt that something was wrong.

Kodic nodded slightly: "Atletico Madrid's defense of Jones has developed a new strategy, and the task they gave Lucas is not to keep an eye on Jones, but to delay Jones's attack!" ”

Ossilai was stunned for a moment, and after a little pondering, he understood Kodic's words, marking and delaying, but there is an essential difference! Marking is when the defender prevents the opponent from gaining any advantage, whether it is scrambling for a header, or breaking through, or sending a threatening pass, none of them! This requires extremely high technical, physical, psychological and other comprehensive strength of defensive players!
