Chapter 370: Regaining Status
Seeing that he had managed to attract the attention of the Chelsea players, Greens was not greedy and made a decisive pass to the feet of Ibi on the right.
Ibi had his back to the goal, Alonso and Cahill came up to defend, Ibi suddenly made a back-heel pass, the pass was so sudden that by the time Alonso and Cahill found the football, it was too late, they had no time to intercept, they could only watch the ball pass them and fall into the gap at the edge of the penalty area.
Ibi didn't give Cahill and Alonso time to think, and after passing the ball, Ibi quickly cut in, but in order to match Wilson, Ibi didn't go too deep at this time.
Wilson took two steps after receiving the ball and saw that it had caught the attention of the Chelsea defenders, and as Christensen was on his way, Wilson decisively passed the ball back to Ibi, who was already in front of him.
Ibi received the ball with his back to the goal, Cahill in the back defended against his back, Ibi made a strong turn to break through, and Cahill's center of gravity was shaken away by him.
However, Ebi did not break through to the other side at this time, but dodged a small space and sent the ball to the feet of Fraser in front of him with his heel.
After Fraser received the ball, Azpilicueta stepped in, and Fraser made a pass to match Lewis Cook, who had already been inserted on the touchline, and Azpilicueta immediately reached out to disrupt Fraser's pass.
Fraser immediately slid the ball diagonally and then quickly crossed Azpilicueta, who easily got past Azpilicueta to receive the ball.
Fraser, who re-received the ball, immediately started quickly, cutting directly and quickly on the side, Christensen hurried over to make up for the defense at this time, but Fraser strode again, but did not expect to slide the ball into the penalty area, but it was not to the point of complete loss of control.
Fraser accelerated again, past Christensen's defense, and did not give Christensen a chance to commit a tactical foul, and Fraser, who entered the penalty area, seemed to have seen the goal, gritted his teeth and accelerated again.
Frazier grabbed the ball before Cahill and Courtois had no choice but to pounce at Fredser's feet, a dangerous move, easy to get injured, and if the opponent tripped, the referee would not be too much to give a penalty, and it would most likely even be a red card.
Fraser flicked the ball diagonally forward, then jumped high to avoid Courtois's hands and didn't step on Courtois.
'Beautiful, Fraser got past goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and now he's facing an empty goal, Christensen on the flank doesn't have any impact on him!'
Fraser struck an easy shot into the empty net, and before Cahill could pounce, the ball rolled quickly towards the back of the net, and Courtois tried to make amends, but he had no chance, and the ball had already rolled into the goal line.
'It was from Fraser, who received a pass from Ibi and beat Cahill and Andreas Christensen, as well as goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, to score in the face of an empty net.
It was Bournemouth's second goal and now they are two goals ahead of Chelsea in the 28th minute of the first half, which is something that no one expected before the game! ”
Jones saw his team two goals down and stopped thinking about scoring, and his attention was now all on the game, because Chelsea were two goals down at home, and all the players had a feeling of humiliation and began to show a strong desire to attack.
N'Golo Kante started to make vicious tackles in midfield and then sent the ball out, and although Pedro and Eden Hazard didn't do much under Bournemouth's excellent defence, they continued to attack and seize a chance if the opponent made a mistake!
After Bakayoko won the ball in midfield, he quickly split the side, Alonso received the ball and broke through directly on the sideline, and after being resisted by Guessling, Alonso and Bakayoko, who stepped forward, made a combination to get past Grims, and then a cross from the sideline.
Pedro saw the ball and jumped up decisively to fight for the top of the football, but the ball was grabbed by Frances first, and then the header cleared, but the football did not fly far and fell in front of Kante, who directly accelerated and shot directly from a distance!
Begovic was a little ill-prepared but made a save, and although he didn't get the ball to his feet, Kante's long-range shot went just over the crossbar and into the stands.
Three minutes later, Chelsea were back in the picture, also with a high ball from the touchline, only this time on a different side, Hazard jumped up to head the ball at goal, and Bournemouth kept an eye on the threat of Hazard.
Therefore, the caretaker of Hazard was also quite in place, Hazard did not fight for the football, the ball was pushed off the bottom line by defender Cook, and Chelsea won a corner to attack.
Kante took a corner, Hazard was looked at by Ake and had no chance, but he created opportunities for his teammates, in order to see Hazard, who was more threatening, Bournemouth relaxed the defense of others at this time.
So Alonso got a chance, he jumped up and fought for a header, but instead of shooting straight at goal, he swung his head and made a header cross.
Daniels and Begovic both thought it was a shot, and Begovic jumped up to catch the ball, only to find that Alonso was heading the ball to the back point around the penalty spot, and Jones, who had a mediocre performance in the game, made a move that surprised everyone.
He leaned back, gently stretched out his foot and poked the flying football, the ball flew towards the goal, Begovic was too late to make a save, and Daniels had no chance to clear, so the ball slowly flew into the Bournemouth goal.
'Beautiful goal, striker Jones from Chelsea, this is his 25th Premier League appearance this season, including substitutes, his ninth league goal, although Jones did not perform well in the first half and wasted several chances, but now Jones, who has scored one goal, he is the hero on the pitch!"
Jones also gave Kodic a special look when he was celebrating the goal, and in Jones's opinion, his performance in the first 30 minutes was very poor, so he was afraid that the coach would be unhappy with him.
Cordic saw Jones looking at him, Cordic also knew that Jones was afraid of being angry, so Cordic began to smile and applaud, after Jones saw it, he found that the coach was not angry with himself, so he put his mind at ease, he didn't celebrate too much, because now the team is still one goal behind the opponent!
Jones' immediate thought was, I still need more goals, but a lot of times, the ideal is full, the reality is blatant.
Jones also found his form after that, but many times it was not in good form to score, and in the 39th minute of the first half, Jones hit the crossbar and flew off the bottom line after a beautiful breakaway.
The second time before the end of the first half, Alonso crossed from the sideline, Jones received the ball in the middle, directly in the penalty area, the ball hit Begovic's arm and bounced off the bottom line, although there was no goal, Jones could only shake his head and sigh, his luck was not good, but it was good to get a corner.
