In the 29th minute, Cesc Fabregas played a long pass and Diego Costa's powerful shot from 25 yards on the left was saved by Cech. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the 30th minute, Diego Costa broke through Stones and crossed low to Cesc Fabregas on the right side of the penalty area, which Cech intercepted from five yards.

Chelsea missed another chance in the 34th minute when Diego Costa's shot from 12 yards out in the middle of the box was blocked by the onrushing Petr Cech and bounced off the crossbar.

As for Harry Kane, due to the first goal, he has been combined by Terry and Cahill and frozen near the Chelsea penalty area, which also makes Harry Kane really understand that his current level is really difficult for him to score as easily as against the underdogs after the targeted arrangement of the giants' defenders, and this is the gap between himself and those top strikers.

With the referee's whistle, Blackburn's players eased their nerves a little and walked back to the dressing room with a 1-1 draw.

The first half ended with Cesc Fabregas' shot failing to score. The referee on duty blew the whistle for the end of the first half. Mourinho on the sidelines couldn't help but curse, knowing that Chelsea's form was excellent during this time. Jose Mourinho believes that if he could give Chelsea a little more time, he would have scored.

But the first half is now over. Even Jose Mourinho was unsure if Chelsea would be able to maintain their form in the second half after a fifteen-minute half-time break. So after seeing the referee blow the whistle at the end of the first half, Mourinho couldn't help but curse the referee a few words.

'It's not bad, in the first half we were tied with the mighty Chelsea at our home stadium, but in the second half we try to get all three points.' Back in the dressing room, Jurgen Klopp encouraged the Blackburn players that a draw at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea was acceptable.

But if you can win, why not?

Klopp was still satisfied with the atmosphere in the team and began to arrange the tactics for the second half of the game.

At the beginning of the second half, Blackburn began to attack fiercely, and Blackburn, who were more active in the second half, began to control the game.

But this situation was guessed by Mourinho at half-time. The Chelsea players had already been told to defend with all their might in the second half, after all, the frenzied attack in the final moments of the first half consumed a lot of physical strength from the players, holding on for fifteen minutes before starting to counterattack.

Although Blackburn attacked very hard, with Chelsea defending with all their might, there was still no good chance to score for a while. Instead, Chelsea had a couple of chances to threaten Doblake's goal.

In the 52nd minute, Hazard's cross from the right side of the box was barely cleared by Stones, and Nemanja Matic's volley from 25 yards was blocked by Varane.

Chelsea missed a chance a minute later when Willian passed the ball and Cesc Fabregas's stabbing shot from six yards out on the left side of the box from Rakitic slid wide of the far corner.

In the 7th minute of the second half, Mahrez and Neymar made a one-two past Cesc Fabregas, who came up to grab the ball. Neymar, who has scored in the last three games, shot vigorously from outside the penalty area, and although the football was fast, it still played a little positively, and was dragged out of the bottom line by Courtois, who was concentrated.

Then, Neymar took a corner kick, and the ball was directly grabbed by Terry to the first point and pushed out of the penalty area. But not very far. At this time, Pogba happened to be standing in front of the ball, saw the ball flying towards him, did not think about it, did not wait for the ball to land, directly kicked the goal, the football flew directly towards the upper left corner of the goal.

Seeing Pogba's shot, Courtois also made the first save, flying towards the left side of the goal.

Football is fast, and Courtois, despite his best efforts, is still one step slower.

Just when everyone thought the goal had been scored, Cuadrado, who did not have a high presence in the game, suddenly appeared on the goal line. In the face of the flying football, it is a hard kick and kicks the ball towards the midfield.

When Hazard received the pass, Blackburn only had Azpilicueta, Varane and Cech in the half, Blackburn, under the containment of Diego Costa in the middle, Hazard dribbled past Azpilicueta, did not give Cech a chance to pick himself up, and directly shot through Blackburn's goal.

1:2! Blackburn Rovers are once again on the side behind them!

Arthur was not depressed to see his team concede again, because the average age of the four defenders in front of him is less than 25 years old, and it is already good to be able to perform like this against Chelsea at such an age.

And Arthur firmly believes that the Blackburn Trident, with an average age of only 22 years old, can surprise him!

In the following games, Blackburn Rovers continued their crazy attack, Chelsea maintained Mourinho's all-out defensive tactics, and under the leadership of Terry, the core of the defense, they defused Blackburn's attacks again and again.

In the 68th minute, Griezmann burst into the right side of the box and tried to cross Neymar in the middle, but Cuadrado cleared it in time.

This made the Blackburn players start to be a little anxious, seeing that Chelsea was defending with all their might, and there was no intention of attacking, and they began to press in an all-round way. Even Cesar Azpilicueta and John Stones rushed to midfield.

After ten minutes of bombing, even Chelsea's defense was a little unbearable, no matter how strong it was.

In the 79th minute, John Terry had just grabbed a Blackburn corner and headed the ball over to Eden Hazard outside the box. Eden Hazard looked at the situation up front. Now Diego Costa was the only one left, and he passed the ball to Diego Costa. It was good for Blackburn's frenzied offense to stop for a while, and for these defenders on their side to breathe.

At the moment, Chelsea have only Diego Costa alone in midfield. And Diego Costa's role at this time is only to stay near the midfield. So that the Blackburn players don't press too much. After all, Diego Costa's pace is still a threat to Blackburn.

Diego Costa latched onto Eden Hazard's pass and as soon as he turned to see John Stones and Cesar Azpilicueta rushing towards him.

Just as Diego Costa saw Stones and Cesar Azpilicueta rushing towards him, and was still thinking about what to do, Rakitic stabbed the ball from behind him and kicked the ball out of his feet.

Stones met the bouncing ball and made a long pass straight to the front. John Stones made his way into the Chelsea penalty area with a pinpoint long pass.

Neymar relied on his explosive power, and finally forcibly shook off the pull of the defenders around him, caught up with the ball, and began to enter the penalty area.

Just as Neymar entered the penalty area, Chelsea defender Cahill caught up with Neymar again, and seeing that Neymar was about to enter the penalty area to shoot, the anxious Cahill directly nudged Neymar's backup.

But this was just a slight push, which somewhat broke Neymar's balance, causing him to plummet in order to maintain his balance. When Cahill saw that he had chased Neymar, he immediately made a sliding tackle to disrupt Neymar and continue to dribble the ball.

Neymar glanced out of the corner of his eye, and naturally saw Cahill's shovel. "This guy is so stupid, he dares to tackle in the penalty area? If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. ”

Neymar immediately accelerated with his right foot to move the ball forward, and then tripped with his left foot on Cahill's tackle, and the whole person fell in the box.

Falling to the ground, Neymar put his hands on his ankles, hunched over and rolled around on the ground, and from time to time there was a moan from his mouth, as if he wanted to tell everyone that Cahill had committed a serious foul on himself this time, and I was in pain now.

"What are you doing, you liar! Fake fall! Seeing Neymar fall to the ground, Cahill, who quickly got up, roared loudly, and his eyes were looking at Neymar deadly, exuding a murderous aura.

"What are you doing, what are you doing? It's a clear penalty! As Blackburn's vice-captain on the field, Branislavic also immediately ran over, looking at Cahill with wide eyes, as if he was going to do it as soon as the other party said another word.

"What are you all doing, what are you doing?" The referee finally arrived between Branislav Ivanovic and Cahill, and at this time, tens of thousands of Blues fans, led by the commentators, began to boo loudly in order to put pressure on the referee.

The referee asked the linesman, looked at Cahill on the side, hesitated and pointed to the penalty spot, then took out the yellow card from his pocket and warned Cahill.

This time Blackburn is satisfied, but the Chelsea players are not satisfied, in the minds of the Chelsea players, Neymar is obviously faking a fall, it should be him to eat a yellow card, this time the Chelsea players are of course not relenting.

In fact, Neymar was not a fake fall just now, he was indeed tripped by Cahill, but Cahill said that he faked a fall for a reason, because it was not Cahill who wanted to shovel Neymar, Neymar was able to break through Cahill, but there was Terry in front of him, and the angle of the shot was not too good, so the chance of breaking the goal was not great, so Neymar deliberately went to Cahill's shovel.

Neymar was on the penalty spot and the rest of the players were all on the line of the Chelsea penalty area, ready to pick up a leak or clear it.

With the referee's whistle, Neymar looked at the Chelsea goal, stepped back a few metres and slowly increased his run.

The moment Neymar touched the ball, he got up and made it look like he was going to hit the left side of the goal, seeing Neymar preparing to shoot, Courtois's body involuntarily tensed his nerves, and his body involuntarily shifted a few steps towards the left side of the goal.

But then the ball went into the net from the right side of the goal at great speed, 2:2. Blackburn relied on a penalty created by Neymar, and Neymar finally equalised.

Subsequently, Chelsea, who were unwilling to lose, naturally counterattacked, and Blackburn defended on all fronts.

In the 83rd minute, Willian broke through Branislav Ivanovic on the right and crossed, and Pogba cleared before Cesc Fabregas.

In the 86th minute, substitute Oscar's long-range shot from 30 yards down the middle was saved by Petr Cech and Diego Costa missed a follow-up shot from inside the box. One minute later, Majic's long-range shot from 30 yards out was also deflected. Cesc Fabregas was booked in the 93rd minute for complaining about a foul on an opponent who was delaying the game.

In the end, with the referee's final whistle, Blackburn Rovers picked up one point away from home, while Chelsea were winless for the first time in six games.

The match was over, and the question of whether Neymar faked a fall became the focus of the post-fight question.

But who among Blackburn Rovers supporters cares? (To be continued.) )
