As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 227 This Defense (for Subscription)
There is one last chance left.

Jose was thinking, how should he stop the ball?

heel.

This is the way Jose thought of it.

I saw Jose with his back to the serving machine, then turned his head to look at the ball flying in the air, heel buckled, and while catching the ball, he also gave a little outward force.

Under Jose's control, the ball rolled towards the ground.

Hit, the ball hit other balls that were pre-placed on the ground.

However, it was not over yet, the ball continued to roll towards the second ball after hitting the first ball.

Kill two birds with one stone, 2 points.

Jose won in the end.

"Haha." Joyful laughter broke out at the scene.

During the international break, Jose also completed his contract extension with the club.

In the new contract, Jose's weekly salary has risen to 20 pounds, which has surpassed most of the players in the team.

In addition, the new contract adds a liquidated damages clause, and the specific amount is a confidential clause.

It is rumored that Jose's liquidated damages are not lower than those of Neymar and Barcelona.

This makes any club that wants to play Jose's idea have to weigh it carefully.

In order to make up for the lack of Jose in the past season, Mourinho plans to let Jose serve as the team's third captain, that is, when Terry and Ivan are not on the court, Jose will wear the captain's armband. There is even a chance to surpass Terry and become Chelsea's youngest captain.

In order to keep Jose, Chelsea expressed enough sincerity.

The news spread, and the industry was in an uproar.

In the eyes of the outside world, Hazard should be the first choice for the future captain.

Only people inside the team know that Hazard doesn't have that ambition at all.

The international match day is over, and with two rounds left in the European Cup qualifiers, many teams have qualified first, including Spain, England, Austria and Portugal.

When a player returns from the national team, it means that the league will continue.

In addition to the league, the Champions League will also start.

In the days to come, double matches a week will become the norm, and holidays will become precious.

On September 9th, at 12:12 local time, at Goodison Park Stadium, the focus of Everton and Chelsea will be played here.

The referee on duty for this game is Andre Marriner.

Chelsea's starting line-up, with Jose starting without a doubt, Mourinho didn't even have to think about it because Courtois was injured.

Terry came back after lifting the ban, and Mikel entered the starting lineup in rotation. The specific list is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Jose.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Terry, Zouma, Ivan.

Back midfielder: Matic, Mikel.

Attacking midfielders: Hazard, Fabregas, Pedro.

Center: Diego Costa.

In addition, Falcao, William, and Zeke sat on the bench.

As for Everton, there are two people who have attracted much attention.

First of all, Mourinho talked about Stones for a summer, and finally missed joining because Everton refused to let him go. He will start this game on behalf of Everton.

The other person is Lukaku, known as "Little Monster".Unable to gain a foothold at Stamford Bridge, Lukaku moved to Everton. In this game, he will represent the new club against the old one.

Martinez set up a 4312 formation, making it clear that he wanted to play a defensive counterattack. The specific starting list is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Howard.

Defenders: Galloway, Jagicar, Stones, Coleman.

Back midfielder: Besic, Barry, McCarthy.

Front midfielder: Barkley.

Forwards: Lukaku, Aruna Kone.

There are also Naismith, Lennon, Morrie and others on the bench.

In this game, Chelsea players wore white jerseys, and Everton, who played at home, wore traditional blue jerseys.

Everton fans taunted Mourinho before the game.

"José will leave get out of class in three years."

"John isn't going to the bus."

"Everton is the real blue."

Everton kicks off first.

After the opening, Lukaku appeared extremely active, he took the initiative to retreat to get the ball, and then moved forward.

Chelsea's rib position, Lukaku made a direct pass.

Can't get past Chelsea's interception at all.

Instead, Chelsea got a chance to counterattack.

It is a pity that Chelsea's offense is also unsatisfactory.

In the 3rd minute, Everton took the lead in completing the first shot.

Outside the edge of the penalty area, Barkley received a pass from his teammate and directly kicked the goal.

The ball flew towards the top right of the goal.

Jose jumped up, but still failed to touch the ball.

Barkley's shot went high.

After 1 minute, Chelsea got a right corner kick.

Unfortunately, Zuma's shot also missed.

In the 9th minute, Besic was injured in the battle with Matic.

Martinez was forced to make a substitution.

Naismith came off the bench.

Everton's formation changed to a 433 formation, and a thrilling battle began.

In the 13th minute, McCarthy made a cross from the right.

On the left side of the penalty area, Naismith is in an unmarked state at this time.

Ivan started to miss people again.

In fact, last season, fans have already started discussing that Ivan's condition is not as good as before because of his age. Who will Mourinho find to replace him?
The answer is, no.

Throughout the summer window, Chelsea only signed back one defender, and that was the little-known Baba.

Jose felt bitter. When he was in Leverkusen, although the defense line sometimes got stuck, it was still trustworthy most of the time.

And is Chelsea's defense today really the team that makes Messi helpless?
Jose didn't attack, he saw at a glance that McCarthy's pass was high enough.

This also led to Naismith on the left side of the penalty area also failing to meet McCarthy's pass.

In the 17th minute, Everton ushered in an absolute opportunity.

Galloway makes a cross from the left.

In the penalty area, several Everton players are sprinting towards the goal.

Jose found that the back line leaked again.

Naismith is left unmarked.

Before Jose could sound a reminder, the ball had already flown into the penalty area.

Naismith calmly hit the ball.

He headed directly to the goal, and the ball flew to the right of the goal.

Under normal circumstances, this would be a must-goal.

There was no other way, Jose had to use "Time Pause" again.

In this way, Jose single-handedly won Naismith's header.

Is the Mu Nian curse really that hard to bear?

Two minutes later, Chelsea's defense once again missed people.

Coleman makes a cross from the right.

In the penalty area, as many as three Everton players outflanked them.

This time, Zuma restricted Naismith, but another Everton player, Kone, was unmarked.

In the end, Kone received a pass from his teammate and completed a header.

The ball flew to the left of the goal.

Fortunately, Jose was on guard, I saw him struggling to the left of the goal, and then blocked Kone's attack from the bottom line with one hand.

Before Jose could get angry, Mourinho was already standing on the sidelines.

In Mourinho's coaching philosophy, the offense can be weak, but the defense must not make mistakes.

Everton took a corner kick, but this time he failed to threaten Jose, and he directly blocked it with a single punch.

It's still Everton's possession.

Perhaps feeling Mourinho's anger, the defenders finally cheered up.

McCarthy was in possession of the ball. Seeing that there was no chance to break through, he suddenly took a long shot from outside the penalty area.

The ball flew through the crowd and landed directly in Jose's arms.

It's not that McCarthy didn't aim at the angle of the shot, but that Jose had already predicted the direction of his shot.

In the first 20 minutes, Chelsea did not look like a championship team at all.

In the 22nd minute, Everton played with Chelsea's defense.

Kone and Barkley passed the ball continuously, and the Chelsea players watched the ball pass around them.

The ball went to Naismith's feet.

A bad feeling suddenly surged in Jose's heart.

From outside the penalty area, at a distance of 22 yards, Naismith shot vigorously.

The ball skimmed past Terry's feet and rolled towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

A low ball is a very tricky thing for most goalkeepers.

Jose didn't dare to be sloppy, he used the plug-in, and at the same time quickly moved to the right side of the goal, and stretched his left foot towards the lower right corner of the goal.

On the goal line, the opponent's shot was blocked.

Jose once again single-handedly kept the goal clean.

Mourinho started to explode, and shouted towards the goal: "Mark, pay attention to man."

After being shouted by Mourinho, Chelsea's players began to take the initiative to attack.

Unfortunately, Pedro's shot went wide in the penalty area, while Azpilicueta's shot was blocked by Stones.

Chelsea have never been able to find a solution to break the door.

In the 36th minute, Chelsea finally ushered in a scoring opportunity.

Mikel passes the ball.

30 yards outside the penalty area, Matic took the ball and suddenly shot from a long distance with his left foot, and the ball drew a beautiful arc.

The ball is in.

A chance that was not a chance, Matic opened the scoring for Chelsea.

After the goal, Chelsea's offensive continued unabated.

In the 40th minute, Chelsea got a corner kick.

A tactical corner kick was taken and the ball reached Hazard's feet.

Hazard made a cross from the left side of the penalty area.

It's a pity that Terry's header went high.

Before the end of the first half, there was a scene on the field that caused Chelsea fans to curse.

Hazard shoots from outside the box.

As a result, Ivan stretched his foot in the small penalty area to block the left baseline.

"Ivan, just tell me how much you bought."

"Why didn't Uncle Psy replace Ivan? It's obviously no longer possible."

"Who?"

During the halftime break, Chelsea fans condemned Ivan in various ways.

Of course, some fans believe that Chelsea's situation has a lot to do with Mourinho.

Although Ivan is only 31 years old, for a full-back, once he is 30 years old, without speed and physical fitness, the decline in state will be more serious than other positions.

Mourinho never thought of finding a substitute for Ivan, or in other words, Mourinho did not find a qualified substitute for Azpilicueta.

Baba is obviously not enough to replace Azpilicueta as left back.

As for Stones, even if he comes, it will not change Chelsea's side defense problem.
