As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 313 Jose's Ups and Downs

In the 13rd minute, Pedro made a cross from the right.

Diego Costa's powerful header from 10 yards in front of the goal.

The result was bravely saved by Cech.

The ball did not fly out of the penalty area.

On the right side of the small penalty area, Alonso quickly killed and beat Bellerin with a header from close range.

Chelsea lead by one goal.

At this time, the Chelsea fans shouted: "Wenger, we hope you stay."

Wenger couldn't help but look embarrassed after hearing clearly what the Chelsea fans were saying.

There are rumors that Wenger will leave Arsenal after the end of the season, but whether the news is reliable has not yet been determined.

The game continues.

As the game progressed, Jose gradually recovered his game status.

In the 39th minute, Arsenal almost equalized the score.

Zhang Boli made a diagonal pass from the right into the penalty area.

From 5 yards in front of the goal, Gabriel, who came off the bench, made a powerful header.

The ball was extremely fast and flew towards the center of the goal.

If it was the opening stage, Jose might not be able to react.

Fortunately, Jose has already entered the game state, I saw him leaping over the dragon's gate, throwing himself sideways to block the ball.

Subsequently, a low shot from close range in the 272 penalty area also failed to threaten Jose.

In the second half, Chelsea continued to focus on defending and counterattacking.

In the 53rd minute, Jose quickly took a goal kick.

Costa headed the ball and the ball fell to Hazard's feet.

In the middle circle, Hazard first passed Koscielny after getting the ball, then used his speed to get rid of Kirkland's entanglement, and advanced all the way to the right side of Arsenal's penalty area.

Koscielny, who returned to defense, blocked Hazard again, but the effect was not great.

Hazard passed Koscielny for the second time and volleyed from the right side of the penalty area.

The goal is scored, 2 to 0.

If it is normal, Chelsea leads by 2 goals, then the result of the game can be said to have no suspense.

However, in the 81st minute, there was a hole in Chelsea's defense.

Moses failed to get back in time, allowing Monreal to easily complete a cross from the left.

On the right side of the small penalty area, 3 yards in front of the goal, the unmarked Giroud headed to the top.

Giroud's attack was too close, and Jose didn't react for a while. When he wanted to use the plug-in, the ball had already crossed the goal line.

Arsenal pulled one back.

2:1.

Arsenal saw hope.

However, in the 85th minute, Cech made a wrong pass under Hazard's pressure and passed the ball directly to Fabregas, who came off the bench.

Facing the big gift bag, Xiaofa calmly shot.

The ball went over Cech's head and into the net.

3:1.

No matter how good a player is, in a high-tempo confrontation, mistakes will inevitably occur.

At the end of the game, Chelsea defeated Arsenal 3-1 and continued to lead the standings with an unbeaten record.

The next day, although the Chelsea team had a two-day holiday, Jose returned to Cobham for recovery training.

In competitive sports, once there is no training and competition for a long time, the decline in state is extremely serious.

This is also one of the reasons why at the beginning of the season, the players of each team made so many mistakes.

The effect of Jose's extra training is obvious.

In the Premier League game against Burnley a week later, Jose once again completed a clean sheet.

In the 7th minute, Burnley attacked.

Westwood's cross was confiscated by Jose.

After winning the ball, Jose quickly took the goal kick.

Moses crossed the ball to Pedro as soon as he got the ball.

Pedro dribbled the ball forward from the middle circle, directly into the opponent's penalty area and kicked the goal.

The ball is in.

Chelsea took an early lead.

However, Burnley, who played at home, was not easy to deal with, and they launched a more violent attack.

In the 24th minute, Burnley got a 25-yard free kick in the middle.

Brady chose to shoot directly.

The ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal after bypassing the human wall.

Fortunately, Jose had already sensed it.

He quickly moved to the left side of the goal, then jumped up and blocked the opponent's shot with one hand.

Chelsea escaped.

Seeing the hope of scoring goals, Empoli's morale is even stronger.

Chelsea's attack was in trouble.

At some point, it rained and snowed in the sky, which further increased the difficulty of the game.

In the 36th minute, Empoli almost succeeded in scoring.

Barton made a direct pass.

Lowton successfully got a single chance against offside.

On the right side of the penalty area, on the edge of the small penalty area, Lorton shot low with his right foot.

However, Jose reacted very quickly, he blocked the opponent's shot with his leg.

In the second half, the rain and snow fell harder and harder. Although Joselito was dry, he had shrunk into a small ball.

In the 47th minute, Matic, Cahill and Luiz made consecutive mistakes.

Gray (Burnley) takes a low shot from the edge of the six yard box.

Jose made another brave save.

In the 67th minute, Fabregas came off the bench and replaced the mediocre Matic.

Unfortunately, Chelsea's offense still failed to improve.

In the 80th minute, Burnley attacked from the right.

Lowton's pass was slightly stronger, and neither Gray nor Alonso could grab the ball.

Jose strikes decisively.

Outside the right side of the penalty area, near the baseline, Jose made a clearance.

Affected by the weather, Jose's clearance kick was too powerful, and as a result, the ball was sent directly to the roof of the fans' stands.

In the end, Chelsea beat Burnley by one goal away.

Jose's form has recovered, and it is already convinced that no team can stop Chelsea's progress.

Therefore, when Wolves met Chelsea in the FA Cup and gave up the game directly, they had a full substitute lineup.

However, for Chelsea, Jose did not play, and it was Courtois who represented Chelsea in goal.

In the end, relying on the goals of Costa and Pedro, Chelsea eliminated Wolves 2-0 and advanced to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, where they will face the Red Devils Manchester United at home.

On February 2, the Champions League reignited the flames of war.

In the 1/8 knockout round, Chelsea played at home against La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid.

Under Simeone's coaching, Atletico Madrid failed to break the monopoly of Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, but they often performed amazingly in the Champions League.

It's a pity that Atletico Madrid's luck is not good. They have met their city rivals Real Madrid in the knockout rounds for many consecutive seasons.

Atletico Madrid can easily defeat Barcelona, ​​but there are not many ways to deal with Real Madrid. The fundamental reason is that their styles are restrained.

Because the relationship between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid has always been very friendly, there is not much off-site news for this game.

Chelsea took the lead.

Atletico Madrid took the initiative to play a defensive counterattack.

Taking advantage of the counterattack opportunity, Saul and Griezmann got good chances to score successively.

But at this time Jose's state has fully recovered.

Without relying on cheats, and without even responding to the god-level prediction, Jose blocked the opponent's chance to score.

In the second half, the two sides exchanged venues.

In the 48th minute, Pedro took the lead to break the deadlock.

Chelsea lead by one goal.

In the 59th minute, Cahill brought down Griezmann in the penalty area.

Cahill was given a yellow card and Atletico got a penalty.

Griezmann once faced Jose with a penalty kick, and the huge pressure made him not confident to face it again.

Gameiro volunteered to take the penalty kick.

Needless to say the final result.

Jose easily saved Gameiro's penalty.
