It's hard to say how effective Mustafi's forward press will be, but the situation at Portsmouth looks increasingly dangerous. John Stones had team-mates before helping to mark Eden Hazard, and now he has to play it alone, and the Belgian talent has been winning the best player every year since his debut, from home to France to England.

'Heidward made a bold decision to field a main squad but put Mendy and Meunier on the bench and replaced them with John Stones. John Stones provided an assist in the opening game, but we didn't see his defensive skills, with the 19-year-old England wing-back, who can also play at centre-back, making just two first-team appearances so far this season, coming off the bench on 89 minutes. ”

Hazard challenged the youngster as he spoke, and a short-range acceleration stoppage left Stones very embarrassed defensively. The camera also gives a shot of Stones' father, the old man clenching his fists, as if sweating for his son. Eden Hazard's plan to split the ball did not succeed and was intercepted by N'Golo Kante, who intercepted the ball and redistributed it to Stones, with John carefully clearing it wide. Such an action was a cowardice in the eyes of Benitez, whose game plan was to exploit the Portsmouth backline, so he waved his hand and Hazard understood it.

The game's guest commentator is Roberto Di Matteo, who has just been sacked for a short time, and Sky Sports has done a lot of talking about it. Being a coach and being a commentator are completely different professions, and Di Matteo seemed a little unable to let go, and only now did he take the microphone and say: "A fan left me a message saying that a week ago Stones joked on Twitter that he was a player born for training, and as long as they (the coaching staff) needed to put me there. The kid who was a stake on the training ground had no chance of winning against Hazard. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was a little cold, and the commentator could only skip this paragraph with a smile.

Although the words of the Buddha Shuai are impolite, they are reflected in the competition field!

Hazard came back after a couple of innovating attempts before another chance on the wing in the second minute of stoppage time. Juan Mata and Fernando Torres flanked him and Chelsea were hoping to score a goal in the first half to stabilize the team, otherwise it would have been a completely different situation in the second half. John sticks to the Belgian closely, Johan's composure on the pitch is admirable, unlike the traditional England centre-back, his passing is good and his technique at his feet looks good, giving him time and opportunity to be a good player in the future. John Stones scrambled in front of Eden Hazard and was close to breaking the ball with his left foot, but the ball flashed in front of his eyes and disappeared.

Stones subconsciously looked towards Torres in that position, but Torres was just running away from the ball. Hazard chose to go it alone after a few fruitless passes, ignoring Juan Mata and Torres, who were better positioned than him, and the Belgian genius completed a series of actions such as receiving the ball, fake passes, and breakthroughs in a very small area, and shook off Stones in a flash of light.

Eden Hazard made his way to the box, Mageri came in to make up for it, Keylor Navas blocked the near corner on that side, and the others N'Golo Kante and Srna were experienced watching Chelsea's threatening players roaming the back post, including striker Klose who stepped back to the edge of the box and kept an eye on Frank Lampard to prevent the ball from hitting the centre into the area.

Everyone was right, and they kept it in order, but John Stones got off his feet and a vicious tackle from behind the side of the box sent Hazard flying.

The Belgian rolled twice in the box before settling on the sweet turf at Stamford Bridge. Stones only realised the seriousness of the problem when he got out of his foot, and he looked at the referee walking towards him and Hazard lying on the ground in confusion.

Referee Atkins was decisive in pointing to the penalty spot, and Portsmouth was sentenced to death before half-time.

"Young, young or too young!" The commentary from the sidelines used three young people in a row to express their amazement, "The Portsmouth players are comforting the wrong Stones, there is no doubt about the penalty, it is inevitable. ”

Perhaps the calmest on this turf is Keylor Navas, and even Hydeward is lamenting the penalty. Chelsea's players were debating who would take the penalty when their voices came faintly, vaguely like the names Torres and Eden Hazard, like a curse. Heidward reminded his players on the sidelines to defend penalties, while Van der Sar wrote a note to Keylor Navas about Chelsea's first-choice penalty taker Frank Lampard and potential penalty takers.

There was chaos at the scene, with the referee asking Chelsea who would take the penalty, and Hazard reluctantly gave the ball to Fernando Torres, who had been struggling on Lampard's instructions. On the other side, Keylor Navas picked up Stones and slapped him the back of the head, "Remember to invite me to dinner when the game is over," he said, and then glanced at the note passed by Margery, and walked to the goalkeeper Navas was fully armed.

"I guess it's the right," he said to Torres, winking mischievously at Stones, "you deserve someone else to punish you, it's not your luck." ”

Fernando's mood in this game was not bad, but standing alone at the penalty spot, it seemed as if someone was watching him in the abyss, and the referee's whistle seemed to be shouting: Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Torres remained calm and his penalty percentage was consistently high, whether at Atletico or Liverpool, ignoring Keylor Navas, running and deliberately glancing to the right before straining to the left.

Keylor Navas swooped down to the left before Torres made a free throw, a shot that was fast and powerful, but with average accuracy, and was the goalkeeper's favourite half-high ball, which could be perfectly defused with a standard side pounce. The imaginary sound of the ball going into the net was not heard, and Navas pulled the hearts of all the Chelsea fans in the air before slamming it the left post with a crisp thud and the ball reaching for the wall.

The ball didn't fly far and the follow-up Frank Lampard was ready to shoot in the right place, but the Portsmouth goalkeeper, who reacted quickly, quickly made another save on the turf, and his right leg touched the ball and kicked it out of the line in front of the magic lamp.

'Fernando Torres came to take the penalty created by Eden Hazard and he will face Keylor Navas, one of the contenders for goalkeeper of the season......... Pretty! Keylor Navas deserves to be Keylor Navas, he has not saved a penalty in the league, he seems to have opened the pot in the cup, he made up for the mistakes of the youngster Stones, which is too important for young players, it is a morale-boosting pounce, we know that Portsmouth's defense has been shaky before the penalty, Uncle Wall is telling his own backline, it doesn't matter! Something happened, uncle on top! The commentary's praise kept throwing at the players, and as he said, the boy who made the mistake hugged Navas who saved him at the first time, and Hydward watched the fight from the sidelines, and Stones could cry at any moment.

Someone at Chelsea came into the box early before the penalty and asked for a heavy penalty, but at this moment even if you don't want to accept it, you can't change the score that is still 1-0 down, and the first half faded past after the penalty.
