"Ngoro, you and the assistant go to warm up."

As soon as he walked into the dressing room, Tuchel made a decision.

Qin Xi knew that his game was over.

He did not dare to look Tuchel in the eye or at Kovacic on the side.

In terms of pre-match arrangements, Tuchel has repeatedly stressed that Kovacic is one of the best dribblers in the team, while Qinxi is responsible for the scheduling and defensive role of the backfield.

Qin Xi did not fully comply with the coach's requirements, which was a taboo.

He consciously took off his uniform, and there were still some sweat stains on the muscles of his body.

"It's okay, West, you've done a great job, and you gave an assist on your debut, unlike me, you didn't get anything." Gallagher on the side saw Qin Xi's thoughts and quickly comforted.

However, Tuchel said a sentence that Qin Xi could not believe.

"Kovacic, you can go to the shower and let Ngoro play in the second half."

"What? It's me? Kovacic asked, puzzled.

"Yes, this is my decision, go take a shower."

In the dressing room, everyone was stunned.

In the mistake before half-time, everyone thought Qin Xi would be replaced first by Tuchel.

Tuchel didn't talk about Qin Xi, he just analysed the opponent's possible tactical arrangements for the second half.

He ordered Gallagher and Mount to interact with Timo Werner on the field.

Wingers on both wings should be more involved in the attack.

"What about me? Coach, what should I do? Qin Xi still asked hard.

"In the second half, you go to Kovacic's position, Ngoro dragged on, I have asked the assistant coach to give him specific deployment."

"I, I see, thank you coach."

Before returning to the arena, Qin Xi still felt that this was not very real.

Two failed frontcourt breakthroughs, but allowed himself to change positions.

From trailing midfielder to all-around midfielder, he has more freedom.

"Hey, look, I'll just say you're a great kid." Before coming on, Gallagher was still encouraging Qin Xi.

......

At the start of the second half, Ngoro replaced Kovacic.

Ngoro is the absolute heart of the Chelsea squad and one of the best defenders in the world.

His coming field made the stadium boil.

"It turns out that this is the influence of superstars." Qin Xi looked at the black guy on the side enviously.

Ngoro is only less than one meter seven meters tall, standing next to Qin Xi, he looks very cute.

After kicking off, they quickly broke through into the 30-metre zone of Chelsea.

The attacking player that Qin Xi defended was the Australian striker who ate Qin Xi's pick in the first half.

Unexpectedly, the other party treated his body with his human way.

A beautiful turn shook past Qin Xi.

Fortunately, Ngoro showed up in time to break the ball.

Ngoro immediately distributed the ball to Qin Xi on the side, and Qin Xi took two steps and quickly passed the ball to Mount who was raising his hand.

After experiencing the white eyes of his teammates before half-time, he didn't want to be "slightly squeezed" by his teammates anymore.

Mount took the ball and made a wall-banging fit with Timo Werner, but unfortunately, the shot was weak and confiscated by the Melbourne Victory goalkeeper.

The fans covered their heads and sighed, they thought the goal was safe.

In the 65th minute of the game, Tuchel made five changes in a row, but Qin Xi remained on the pitch.

The camera is focused on Jorginho, who is still sitting on the bench.

His expression was subtle.

Substitute wing-back Emerson drove straight in from the wing, split the ball into the centre and passed it to Kai Havertz, who also came off the bench.

In the 72nd minute, Kai Havertz scored his third goal of the game.

Everyone celebrated enthusiastically, and Qin Xi noticed that Ngoro was the first to return to his defensive position.

By the 80th minute, Tuchel had used a second wave of substitutions.

Even substitute goalkeeper Kepa was replaced, and all the starters, except for Qin Xi, were replaced.

Qin Xi did not understand Tuchel's intentions, he looked at Jorginho on the sidelines, Tuchel was sitting next to him, communicating with him.

Before the end, Chelsea had one last chance to attack.

It's a pity that Pulisic's close-range shot was dragged out of the line by the goalkeeper.

I thought I could use my last corner kick to replicate the feat I did in the FA Cup final.

While Qin Xi was still slowly walking towards the opponent's penalty area, the referee blew the whistle for the final game.

To the cheers of the fans, the game was over.

All the Chelsea players, including those who had already changed into clean clothes on the bench, walked onto the pitch.

They circled the field, clapping and thanking the fans who were there.

Qin Xi was in the crowd, happy like a child.

He knows what this game means.

It is hard to imagine how many people in China watched the game through online live broadcasts.

His family, his former teammates, his coach, and the woman in the stands.

Qin Xi subconsciously looked at the location of the VIP box, but found that there seemed to be no figure in the box.

But it doesn't matter, just keep celebrating.

After the game, Thomas Tuchel and goalscoring hero Timo Werner and captain Cesar Azpilicueta attended a press conference.

The rest of the team took the bus and returned to the hotel not far away.

It can be seen that everyone is in a good mood.

Gallagher took out his mobile phone, huddled with Mount and Qin Xi, and took a few group photos.

When Gallagher's mobile phone screen was locked, Qin Xi noticed through the mirror that Jorginho, who was sitting behind him, was staring at himself in front of him seriously.

Qin Xi knows that when a world-class midfielder can't get playing time on the field, it will be like this.

Kovacic on the side looked very nonchalant, and he and Pulisic were discussing which restaurant to go to for a delicious Australian dinner.

.......

The team plans to stay in Melbourne for another 24 hours, with players on a half-day off.

The next evening, the team will fly to Sydney, the second city of the preseason.

After hanging up his parents' phone, Qin Xi lay on the bed, proudly refreshing his social media.

At this time, he already has about 600,000 fans, and many well-known players have followed him.

Gallagher on the side slept very early and had already made a burst of calls.

Qin Xi knew that when this guy knew that he would start in this game, he was so excited last night that he almost slept all night.

[You should go talk to the coach.]

An unfamiliar number, an unfamiliar message.

Although he didn't know who sent the message, thinking of everything that happened in the afternoon, Qin Xi felt that what he said was reasonable.

The coach lived in the outermost room of the hotel, Qin Xi got dressed, and walked out slowly.

I happened to meet Kovacic and Pulisic, and I could see that they had just returned.

"Hey, big man, where are you going?" Kovacic quickly asked.

"I can't sleep, I spin around." Qin Xi didn't tell them about that message, and he didn't want anyone else to know that he was going to find Tuchel alone.

"Okay, good night, big man, by the way, you played well today."

The two said no and walked towards their room.

Qin Xi walked to the door of Tuchel's room and knocked.

It took a minute for the door to be opened.

Seeing that it was Qin Xi at the door, Tuchel was surprised.

"What's wrong? Child.

"Coach, I want to talk to you."

"Talk to me? Well, go to the restaurant downstairs and listen to BOSS Qi, there is tea there. "
