As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 268 So What If I Give You a Penalty (Read More)
Southampton made two direct long passes into the penalty area. Obviously they wanted to skip the entanglement in the midfield and directly attack Chelsea's penalty area.

But they thought of Jose too simply.

Facing Bertrand's long pass, Jose made a decisive attack and easily confiscated the ball.

Jose takes another goal kick.

Passed directly to Fabregas.

Chelsea organized the attack again.

It's a pity that when Xiaofa passed the ball into the penalty area again, it was directly confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Southampton takes a goal kick.

An accident happened.

Pedro signaled that he was injured.

Mourinho was forced to make substitutions and adjust.

Oscar came off the bench, Pedro was replaced due to injury, and Chelsea had one less player available.

At this time, the game has just progressed to 6 minutes and 23 seconds, so this will also be the earliest substitution in the Premier League this season.

The game continues.

Because Southampton gave up the midfield, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the game was very fast.

Both sides easily hit the opponent's penalty area.

In the 8th minute, Southampton quickly counterattacked.

Van Dijk made a long pass in the backcourt and directly found Davis on the right side of the frontcourt.

Davis made a cross from the right.

On the left side of the penalty area, Azpilicueta flew to block and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

Southampton wins a left corner.

The Saints took a tactical corner kick and gave it to a teammate on the left.

Cross again.

This time, it was Costa who blocked the ball out of the baseline.

Southampton got corner kicks one after another.

The left corner kick was taken again.

The high ball passed directly to the right side of the penalty area.

Jose jumped high and hit the ball halfway.

In the middle of the perimeter of the penalty area, possession of the ball is still at the feet of Southampton.

A challenge pass.

The ball was sent to the right side of the penalty area.

Van Dijk got the ball, and he chose to pick a pass in the middle of the penalty area again.

Sean Lang overwhelmed Azpilicueta and got the ball first.

Headed directly to the goal.

The ball was obviously higher than the crossbar.

However, what is amazing is that Jose actually took the high ball directly.

With Jose's current jumping ability, it is not impossible to achieve this, but it needs to go all out.

The reason why Jose did this was naturally to take a chance to counterattack quickly.

Jose takes a quick goal kick.

The ball went to Costa's feet.

It's a pity that other teammates failed to think of a piece, and the rare opportunity to counterattack quickly turned into a positional battle.

The fight between the two sides was extremely fierce, but both failed to threaten the opponent's goal.

In the 26th minute, William passed to Oscar behind him from the right side of the penalty area.

From the left side of the top of the arc, Oscar kicked and shot.

The ball flew directly below the goal area.

It's a pity that he failed to escape the opponent's goalkeeper and was directly confiscated by Foster.

This was the first shot on target for both teams in the game.

After 3 minutes, Mikel passed the ball.

Costa's shot from 25 yards went over the bar.

Before you know it, more than 40 minutes have passed in the game, and the number of effective shots from both sides is very small.

In the 42nd minute, Chelsea's defensive error gave Southampton an excellent opportunity.

Azpilicueta ferryed the header to find Cahill, but the strength was minimal.

Sean Lang succeeded in stealing the ball and got the chance to face Jose single-handedly.

Jose strikes decisively.

12 yards to the right of the penalty area, Jose met Sean Lang.

The moment Sean Lang was about to take a shot, Jose decisively used "time-space pause".

If Chelsea leads the score at this time, Jose may try to intercept with his personal ability.

But judging from the first half, most of Chelsea's offensive players were out of form.

So Jose did not hesitate to use the first cheat of the game.

Although it was only a short second, it was enough for Jose to poke the ball away from Sean Lang's feet.

Jose single-handedly made up for the mistakes of his teammates.

The score was 0-0 in the first half.

In the second half, the two sides exchanged venues.

Although Chelsea's offense is not satisfactory, Southampton's offense also poses no threat to Jose.

Gradually, Jose became the most idle person on the court.

In the 50th minute, Hazard received a pass from William in front of the penalty area and shot with his left foot. As a result, the ball missed the baseline from the upper left corner of the goal.

Subsequently, Chelsea missed opportunities in a row.

In the 53rd minute, Mikel missed the goal with a header from close range in a corner kick melee.

Six minutes later, Hazard made a cross from the right.

The unguarded Diego Costa volleyed with his left foot from 8 yards,

Still off the bottom line.

The two sides fought fiercely, and Atkinson drew out yellow cards to Costa, Bertrand and Klassey within 3 minutes.

In the 71st minute, Southampton made a cross from the left.

The Saints player Pellet, who came off the bench, broke into the penalty area after stopping the ball with his chest.

Cahill closes it.

On the edge of the penalty area, Pellet fell to the ground under Cahill's pressure, and the ball hit Cahill at the same time.

Pellet immediately complained to the referee that in addition to defensive action fouls, Cahill also handballed in the penalty area.

The referee Atkinson decisively awarded a penalty after consulting the linesman.

Chelsea fans didn't seem worried about being awarded a penalty kick.

This season, Jose faced all penalty kicks and successfully saved all of them.

This is an extremely terrifying thing.

Pellet takes the penalty kick.

Sure enough, he failed to escape Jose's ten fingers.

"It doesn't matter if I give you a penalty kick, anyway, you can't score a penalty kick." Such singing rang out from the stands of Chelsea fans.

Such singing can be said to be fatal to Southampton's morale.

In the 75th minute, Chelsea finally opened the scoring.

Diego Costa returns from the left and the ball reaches Fabregas.

On the left side of the penalty area, Xiaofa made a pass.

Hazard grabs the point.

The result interfered with goalkeeper Foster's judgment.

The ball bounced into the far corner.

Chelsea lead by one away.

Xiaofa's goal is simply extremely weird.

After conceding a goal, Southampton's 637 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal was ended.

The game continues.

Chelsea scored another victory in the 89th minute.

Willian takes the corner.

Ivanovic overwhelmed Van Dijk with a powerful header from 10 yards.

The ball was scored again, 2 to 0.

Ivan tied the scoring record for a Premier League defender who has scored at least 6 goals in 2 consecutive seasons.

In the end, Chelsea relied on their magical performance in the final stage to beat their opponents 2-0.

The goal guarded by Jose began to make other teams feel desperate.

Without stopping, three days later, the 28th round of the Premier League continued.

Chelsea is still playing away, and the opponent is Norwich, who is of average strength.

Chelsea has won 12 wins and 9 draws in the past 3 battles with Norwich. The last time Norwich beat Chelsea was in 1985.

Kennedy, Matic, Traore and Oscar played in rotation.

Pato entered the bench for the first time. In addition, William and Mikel got the opportunity to rotate and rest.

A week of consecutive double matches resulted in injuries to Terry, Zouma, and Pedro successively, making Chelsea, which was already thin in lineup, have fewer available players.

It was a dream start to the game.

Norwich kicks off from the center circle position.

He took the lead in attacking from the left, but Hulahan's stop went straight out of the boundary.

In less than 10 seconds, Chelsea got the chance of a boundary kick.

Ivan took the boundary ball and threw it directly to Jose.

Jose stopped the ball, glanced upfield, and found Hazard who was unmarked.

Direct big foot long pass, the ball arrived at Hazard's feet.

Hazard scores.

The ball landed at Kennedy's feet.

Kennedy pushed forward from the left, and the Norwich players did not make up their minds to intercept him.

On the left side of the Norwich penalty area, Kennedy dribbled the ball inside.

At this time, only two Norwich players interfered with him.

Just outside the left edge of the penalty area, Kennedy easily passed two opponents and suddenly kicked the goal.

The ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal.

Norwich goalkeeper Rudy obviously hadn't entered the state yet, facing Kennedy's sudden cold arrow, he hurriedly made a save.

However, the ball could not be touched at all.

The ball is in.

Only 39 seconds into the game, Chelsea took the lead.

It was Kennedy's first Premier League goal.

It is also the fastest goal in the Premier League this season and Chelsea's fastest goal since February 2004 against Arsenal.

That time, Gudjohnsen scored 27 seconds into the game.

There was a lot of luck in Kennedy's goal, but luck is also part of the game.

Then Chelsea almost expanded the score.

Hazard broke into the penalty area and crossed from the left.

But Traore missed the ball from the edge of the six-yard box.

In the 7th minute, Norwich counterattacked.

Hulahan made a diagonal pass from the left.

Jerome made a summit push 12 yards away.

Jose saw at a glance that the opponent's header was high.

Although it has made a fantastic start, it is also true that Chelsea players are in poor condition.

After that, the game fell into a stalemate.

In the 26th minute, Traore's shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked.

In the 38th minute, Hazard passed the ball.

Xiaofa grabbed the header before the opponent's goalkeeper.

It's a pity that the top is too high.

Unknowingly, the first half of the game has entered the stoppage time stage.

Compared with the previous game, Jose did not have any performance opportunities.

Except for the occasional return pass from his teammates, Jose didn't even have many chances to touch the ball.

The final minute of half-time stoppage time.

Traore makes a diagonal pass from the right.

Diego Costa is offside.

Single-handedly entered the right side of the penalty area.

From 11 yards in front of the goal, Costa lobbed a shot from the far corner.

The ball is in.

In the first half, Chelsea led the opponent 2-0.

The second half.

Norwich stepped up their offense, while Chelsea players began to shrink their defense.

In the 53rd minute, O'Neill made a cross.

Jerome shoots from close range.

He couldn't threaten Jose at all, and was easily confiscated by Jose.

This is Norwich's second shot of the field.

After 3 minutes, Norwich killed again.

Hulahan made a cross from the left.

Russell Martin headed the ball.

On the edge of the penalty area, Jerome shoots with his right foot.

The ball flew straight to the right of the goal.

Jose threw himself, but failed to touch the ball.

Jerome's shot went wide of the goal.

In the 59th minute, William and Mikel substituted.

Traore and Oscar were replaced.

In the 76th minute, there was an extremely own scene on the court.

Xiaofa passed to find William.

Norwich players Brady and O'Neill stepped forward to fight at the same time, and they collided at the same time.

William, who was caught in the middle, was knocked to the ground passively.

O'Neill's forehead was broken and blood flow continued, and he had to return to the locker room for bandaging.

William really wanted to yell at the two of them: "You have to get nervous, don't take me with you."

In the football field, sometimes you are very careful to deal with it, but there will still be various accidents.

In the 86th minute, Chelsea got another corner kick.

Willian takes the corner.

On the edge of the penalty area, Matic volleyed ahead of Jerome.

It's a pity that it was high.

In the 90th minute, Chelsea missed another chance.

Xiaofa counterattacked and crossed from the right.

Diego Costa puts a shot from 12 yards,

The result deviates from the direction of the left column.

In the last minute of stoppage time, Norwich organized the last wave of offense.

Horahan made a direct pass from the right.

There was a big hole in Chelsea's defense, and Raymond, who was unmarked, got the ball.

Raymond dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area.

Stones blocked it with a shovel, but failed.

10 yards from the right rib of the penalty area, Raymond kicked and shot.
