As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 232 Narrow Victory (Subscribe)

Throwing the ball for a goal kick.

The battle for midfield started again.

However, after only 1 minute, Newcastle United scored outside the penalty area again.

Newcastle is playing at home. Although they gave up possession, it doesn't mean they gave up offense.

From the edge of the penalty area, Sissoko took control of the ball and shot suddenly.

The ball directly crossed Chelsea's defense and flew towards the right side of the goal.

Just when the ball was about to reach the goal, Jose's figure flashed, as if he had expected it, and easily confiscated Sissoko's long shot.

The game continued, and it was still Newcastle United's goal.

Jan Matt made a direct pass from the wing.

The ball went straight across half-court and into Chelsea's penalty area.

Perez volleyed as soon as he got the ball.

The ball quickly flew towards the goal and fell into Jose's arms.

It's not that Perez's shot angle is too straight, but that Jose has been prepared.

Both Cahill and Zouma are in average condition. As long as the opposing players can dribble the ball into the penalty area, they can basically form a chance to attack.

Faced with such a situation, Jose did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

No one would believe it. Facing the championship team Arsenal, Jose almost fell asleep in the backcourt, but facing Newcastle United, which had a terrible start, Jose was always on the verge of a formidable enemy.

But such an unbelievable thing actually happened at this moment.

...

Jose takes the goal kick.

Chelsea once again formed a siege on Newcastle, but they were still unable to break into the opponent's penalty area.

On the contrary, the Newcastle players became more confident as they played more and more. Their active fighting finally got another chance to counterattack.

In the Blues penalty area, Jan Matt and Perez hit the wall to cooperate, attracting Cahill and Zouma to rush towards Perez.

From 12 yards, Jan Matt shoots with his left foot.

The angle of the shot was light, but it was a pity that he still couldn't pass Jose's ten fingers and was directly confiscated by him again.

For the poor defense, Mourinho was very dissatisfied, but apart from his bad face, he did not take any action.

Jose takes a quick goal kick.

Hazard ran all the way with the ball, and in a blink of an eye he was in front of the Newcastle penalty area.

Facing the interception of Newcastle players, Hazard chose to pass the ball directly to Fabregas.

From the edge of Newcastle's penalty area, Cesc Fabregas took the ball and suddenly kicked a long shot.

It's a pity that the shot angle was too straight and was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Krul.

Chelsea wins a corner.

The corner kick is taken.

There was chaos in the Newcastle penalty area.

The ball quickly slammed into the Newcastle penalty area, and then hit the arm of Sissoko.

Oscar complained to the referee for the handball of Sissoko, but Atkinson refused to award a penalty.

As "one of the four major blinds in the Premier League", Atkinson said that he did not see the handball at all.

There were bursts of boos from the stands of Chelsea fans.

...

In the 42nd minute, Newcastle ushered in an absolute scoring opportunity.

Anita makes a cross from the right.

According to the flight direction, height, and speed of the ball, Jose estimated that Zuma could complete the header clearance.

However, the result was unexpected.

The ball flew over Zouma's head and to the other side.

Jose felt bad, and at the same time his figure moved quickly.

11 yards from the left side of the penalty area, Perez leaned on Ivan and volleyed directly.

The ball immediately turned quickly to the left of the goal and flew.

Jose was anxious, he could see that Perez's shot was extremely tricky.

If there is no accident, the ball will bounce off the left post and enter the net.

At this point Jose has two options.

The first option is to use a plug-in, in which case you can 100% directly win Perez's shot.

The second option is to gamble with all your might.

Jose chose the second.

Just when the Newcastle fans were about to celebrate the goal, Jose arrived.

I saw Jose gently pushed the ball with his fingertips. Although he failed to save the ball, he just changed the flight trajectory of the ball, making it hit the left goal post, and then bounced back.

This time, Ivan finally did not disappoint Jose, he immediately cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

Chelsea survived and Jose retained hope of continuing to complete the task.

Before halftime, Cesc Fabregas's long-range shot went slightly wide again.

Chelsea had no possession of the ball, but they couldn't get into Newcastle's penalty area at all.

At the end of the first half, the two sides scored 0-0.

Newcastle fans gave the team a standing ovation as they left the pitch for a brilliant first-half performance.

Facing Chelsea, Newcastle fans are certainly satisfied with being able to defend and still have a few threatening shots.

Intermission time.

"Why do I think Newcastle is more like a bus?"

"Don't think, the whole Premier League knows that the best way to deal with Mourinho is to use his tactics to deal with him."

"Will the broken car lose the game? I'm just short of this game."

"It's hard to say, do you think that Jose's performance is not as good as when he was in the Bundesliga? Just now Perez's shot, if it was Jose before, he could definitely win it directly."

"I have the same feeling, does the goalkeeper still need to adapt to the team?"

"Isn't this nonsense? Of course the goalkeeper also needs to be integrated with the team. During the pharmaceutical factory period, the entire defense line was under the command of Jose. Now Chelsea."

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Chelsea continued to suppress Newcastle's offense.

Just not many opportunities.

Oscar made a cross from the left.

Remy's powerful header from 12 yards was too high.

Both Hazard and Pedro tried to use the breakthrough to open the gap, but the Newcastle defense did not give any chance.

Breaking the dense defense has become a century-old problem.

...

In the 60th minute, Newcastle counterattacked and got another corner kick.

Perez takes the corner.

There was chaos in the Chelsea penalty area.

In the confusion, Jose found that Wijnaldum had no one to mark him.

Jose wanted to make a sound to remind him, but it was too late.

Perez's corner kick was about to fly into the penalty area.

Jose can only intercept Wijnaldum himself.

It is absolutely impossible for one person to block the entire goal. All Jose can do is block the most dangerous area as much as possible.

As expected, 8 yards in front of the goal, the unmarked Wijnaldum hit the ball.

I saw him hit the ball heavily with his head, and smashed the ball to the lower left corner of the goal.

This kind of header, if it is not predicted in advance, will definitely result in a goal.

Fortunately, Jose's sixth sense took effect. Although it wasn't as heaven-defying as the god-level prediction, it was enough.

When the ball was about to reach the goal line, Jose also arrived.

I saw Jose stretched his right leg and blocked the opponent's header accurately.

The blocked ball just landed in front of Matic.

Without saying a word, Matic directly cleared out of the penalty area with his big foot.

Chelsea escaped.

...

It is obviously not a good thing to let the opponent fight in this way all the time.

In view of this, Mourinho began to make substitution adjustments in the 61st minute.

Falcao and Willian replaced Matic and Remy.

Reduce a defensive midfielder, and at the same time replace Remy, who has been booed.

However, the effect is not obvious.

Ivan even received a yellow card warning in order to block the opponent's attack.

In the 73rd minute, Mourinho made another substitution, using up the last substitution.

Ramirez came off the bench and Oscar was replaced.

In this game, Oscar's performance was a bit quiet. Facing Newcastle's intensive defense, Oscar seemed helpless, with 61 passes and a success rate of only 63%.

In the 79th minute, Mourinho's substitution finally achieved results.

Zouma headed back to Jose.

Jose took the ball and found Hazard with a long pass.

Hazard got the ball from the side and cut inside, attracting three Newcastle players to intercept him.

Hazard passed the ball and the ball reached Ramires outside the top of the arc.

Facing the block of two Newcastle players, Ramirez shot from the upper left corner.

The ball is in.

Chelsea finally broke the deadlock.

The home fans stand dead silent.

Once the balance is broken, Newcastle's steady defense and counterattack tactics will not work.

The situation was completely reversed at once.

Chelsea started to drop back and look for counter-attacks.

A score of 1 to 0 is obviously not safe.

Although Chelsea has shrunk its formation, it has never given up its intention to attack.

In the 84th minute, Jose confiscated Perez's shot again.

Decisively and quickly kicked the goal kick.

The ball went to Hazard's feet.

The king of the ball cut in from the left, passed 4 players in a row and then kicked and shot.

It's a pity that it was blocked by the other party.

In 1 minute, Cesc Fabregas successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt and made a long pass directly behind Newcastle's defense.

Pedro, who succeeded in anti-offside, dribbled the ball into the right rib of the penalty area.

10 yards in front of the door, Pedro's gate.

People are speechless, he even hit high.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines and applauded Pedro.

Sometimes, the encouragement of the head coach can indeed increase the enthusiasm of the players.

In the 87th minute, Chelsea got another free kick from the left.

Willian makes a free kick from the left.

Ramirez failed to compete for the top, but it interfered with Krull's judgment.

As a result, the ball brushed past the Dutch goalkeeper and flew into the net.

Chelsea lead 2-0.

Blues fans and Mourinho finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Leading by two goals, with less than 10 minutes left, with Jose's saving ability, it is absolutely impossible to give the opponent a chance to equalize.

In the end, Chelsea won the game in a thrilling manner.

Summary after the game.

Chelsea's ball possession rate is significantly ahead of their opponents, but they only hit the target 4 times. If Ramires hadn't broken the deadlock first, it is really hard to say whether they can win.

Regarding the current situation of the team, Mourinho does not know whether he is satisfied or not, but Jose is very dissatisfied.

Last season, Jose won two heavyweight championships in the Bundesliga and the Champions League with Leverkusen, but in the Champions League, winning can be described as extremely difficult.

In the eyes of some fans, the Champions League champion of the pharmaceutical factory is more about luck than strength.

Since there are still Champions League group matches to be played in the next week, the team still has no holiday.

In this regard, everyone can only helplessly accept it.

The next day, Jose returned to the Cobham training base as usual, but instead of going to the dressing room as usual, he went directly to Mourinho's office.

There are some things that he needs to discuss with Mourinho.

　Let me tell you a shameful thing, as a person who specializes in repairing other people's mobile phones, I can't repair my own mobile phone.

　　If the mobile phone is not repaired, it is a big deal to replace it with a new one, but all the data saved in the past ten years are gone.

　　The technology of mobile phone chips is indeed getting more and more refined, but the anti-strike ability is getting worse and worse. The current mobile phone CPU, if it is dropped a few times, it is likely to cause a large number of points to drop.

　　The CPU and hard disk are encrypted accessories, which cannot be replaced at all, and even the data cannot be exported by other methods.

　　Usually, I often tell clients not to save any important information in the mobile phone, but I have not done so.

　　Shame.
