Chapter 71: Rejection of Doom

Mourinho sat on the sidelines, smiling rarely, chatting and laughing with the assistant coaches around him.

He didn't know what to do, and bad luck awaited him...... There's no reason why he shouldn't be optimistic, as Chelsea have not conceded a goal for 460 minutes, while City have failed to score for 206 minutes. Since the second year of the Premier League, Chelsea have never lost to Manchester City! Kezman returned at the right time, although he did not have Drogba's efficiency, but the victory should still be guaranteed.

So José smiled and waited for a good show......

Jonker's lack of a start came as a bit of a surprise, but Kezman, also from the Eredivisie, was a good option.

The penalty was an accident and Chelsea were awarded a free-kick just seven minutes into the game.

John Terry and Carvalho provided the assist at centre-back, and unlike usual, Galla was not on the move, but Lampard's free-kick was easily denied.

The ball returned to midfield and, unlike any other than before, Galla, who rarely makes mistakes, slipped unexpectedly and Bosvelt broke the ball and played a long pass to Anelka.

Ferreira, who stayed behind, tried desperately to catch up, but neither in terms of speed nor physically, he could not compete with Anelka. The two slipped in the entanglement, and the referee pointed to the penalty spot, and Anelka slid it away...... 1 to 0!

It was City's only shot on goal just before half-time, and City had only one shot on goal: Sun Jihai crossed the ball in front of goal and the unmarked Siberski fired it high. The rest of the time, it belongs to Chelsea......

Penalties are controversial!

That was Mourinho's first reaction, "It could never have been a penalty, it was a long pass, all the referee could see was Paul's back. I don't know what he saw. Mourinho protested after the game.

But he wasn't in a hurry yet, "The referee is not a magician. "The Portuguese showed a rare level of empathy.

The record of 460 minutes without conceding a goal was thus broken, Mourinho is used to stimulating opponents with one goal, and now Keegan is doing his own way and giving back his body, and Jose only feels a little regretful.

Obviously, Manchester City's performance was worth this goal...... So, he stepped forward and comforted Keegan, who seemed to be more impatient than he was.

Frank Lampard had chances, Galla had chances and the better chance came from Duff, whose pass was pinpoint but Goodionsen couldn't touch the ball and it was denied by Distin. On another occasion, Frank Lampard and Goodionsson looked like they were on the verge of success, but James blocked Goodionsen's hidden shot and the ball bounced off the line as it touched Kezman.

Luckily, it wasn't on Chelsea's side this night......

Mills and Distin were equally impressive, allowing Chelsea free-kicks to be hoisted into the box but unable to find the high.

The Chelsea man was getting impatient, with Patrick Ferreira making a mistake and a steady John Terry heading the ball straight into the middle of the six-yard box. Even Gara tried to atone for her sins again and again.

Frank Lampard and Distin came close to getting their hands dirty...... The seeds of doom have been planted.

In the second half, Frank Lampard had two long-range shots in three minutes, both of which James saved. The match looked like it was going to be a battle between the two, but James had the last laugh. Chelsea also seemed to give up when Gudionsen's shot was blocked on the goal line again.

The only one who didn't give up was Mourinho, his face flushed and he kept yelling at his players. Or, to the Keegan next to him to accuse his teammates, there is no respect for each other...... But at this time, he is the most powerless.

Suddenly, Jose felt that he was a little too proud before the start of the game, so much so that after falling behind, he forgot that he still had a trump card in his hand and did not play!

In the 76th minute, Jonk was ordered to replace the underperforming Kezman.

Before going on the pitch, Mourinho only said one word to Jonker, no matter what method is used, send the ball in!

What did you do earlier, Jonk inexplicably made a cold bench for most of the half, somewhat complaining, but standing on the sidelines, those things don't seem to matter anymore, goal! That's right, he has to go up and enjoy the feeling of scoring goals.

Chelsea's internationals struggled to fly more than 10,000 kilometres in two weeks. Fatigue is on every player, and even Frank Lampard, who has always bounced back the most when he was behind, struggled after three shots.

Duff's assist was limited and Kezman didn't have a single shot on target. It's not the Eredivisie, he's just offside again and again......

Jonker didn't care what his teammates were like, he was very positive when he got on the court, and his vigorous style of play was also very impactful.

Chelsea's no.25 is using his actions to make his team-mates understand that they can't give up on the game and that there is still time.

Frank Lampard was the first to get over the fatigue and began to support Jork's attack, and when he saw Jonker asking for the ball, Lampard didn't even think about passing the ball out immediately.

Unexpectedly, the back body technique that had just been practiced for two days was able to be brought into play in today's game, and the perfect back-heel knock passed, and after turning, the speed was brought to the extreme.

Distin's defense had been excellent in previous games, but this time he really felt powerless, so fast that he couldn't even take advantage of the opportunity to foul.

Jonk didn't stick to the ball again after the breakthrough, and when he saw Sun Jihai on the wing to help defend, he poured the ball to the feet of Duff on the wing.

What is learning and selling, Jonker went straight into the middle of the penalty area to grab points, didn't the experts say that they wouldn't grab points!

So at this moment, keep your eyes open and see what a grab is!

Duff calmly parked the ball, observed Jonker's movement, and gave an advance prediction, and the ball drew a beautiful arc into the box.

Mills also tried to jump up to intercept the ball, but his jump height was noticeably lacking and the ball slid over his head.

Looking at Jonker already rising into the air at the moment, what could be more exciting than a header that is more exciting than rushing to the top!

Nothing, no more! Jonker was like a dive-bomber, and the ball was the bomb he delivered, and the target was Manchester City's goal.

Stamford Bridge was boiling over in an instant, and the Chelsea fans were a little silent when they were behind, but now they are getting crazier and the action alone gives them the confidence that Chelsea can't afford to lose.

In fact, who could stop the ball like a bomb, James failed to continue his previous heroic form, and watched dumbfounded as the ball crashed into the net.

1:1!

Jonker equalised for Chelsea with three minutes left and everything was still possible, but he didn't give up his desire to win, didn't make any celebrations, got up, scooped the ball from the net and beckoned his team-mates to get back into the game.

Chelsea's number 25, what an amazing young man, he's dominating the game at the moment!
