Chapter 100: The Troubles of Young Salah

Tottenham conceded again and again.

Benjamin didn't know what to say, the last time he kept a clean sheet in the league was against Southampton two months ago.

After that, it seemed as if the Lilies were uncomfortable not conceding a goal in every game.

It's okay to be scored by a strong team like Chelsea, but you shouldn't have to make mistakes and concede goals against weak teams.

Could it be that he deliberately didn't want Lloris to get a clean sheet bonus?

This is not the time to laugh, Chelsea are fierce at home.

Eden Hazard and Oscar combined on the left flank past Tottenham's defenders.

A ball king crossed back to the middle, and Drogba took the ball with his back in front of the penalty area, causing a foul on Tottenham centre-back Vertonghen.

Warcraft personally took the free kick he created, and a powerful free kick hit the goal too hard, directly hitting high, and the ball flew into the stands.

Soon after, Tottenham made a similar attacking combination, with Sadio Mane and Eriksen linking up and then delivering a cross.

Harry Kane's header in the box was lifted out of the line by Courtois!

The forwards of both teams also seem to be secretly battling.

Eriksen's corner was too close to the goalkeeper and was picked up by the home team's goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

At the end of the first half, the two London teams played to a 1-1 draw.

'I'm mostly happy with your performance and from what I know about Mourinho, Cahill is likely to be substituted in the first half.

They only brought Kurt Zouma as a substitute centre-back, and if it was really this youngster who played in the second half, then don't show mercy and just stare at him!

Come back on the pitch in the second half and give me more attack, score one more goal and win the game! ”

The two sides changed sides and fought again, and Mourinho unsurprisingly replaced central defender Gary Cahill with Kurt Zouma, who made a mistake in the first half and conceded a goal.

Benjamin smiled at the assistant coach sitting next to him.

That's the advantage of having the pre-match preparation in place, and he predicted the opponent's judgment in advance!

When the players on the field saw that their head coach had said that the opponent's substitution adjustment, they felt like they had taken a reassuring pill.

"That's it!"

Kane picked up the ball in front of the pitch and Nemanja Matic rushed to bring him down and the referee showed him a yellow card.

The Blues will be suspended for accumulating five yellow cards in the next round of the league, and Mourinho's face on the sidelines is not good.

Eriksen's free-kick is cleared by John Terry's header.

Benjamin also had to admit that although John Terry's character is not worth mentioning, his ability is really outstanding.

In particular, the Englishman's frontal defensive ability is worthy of the former captain of England and Chelsea.

Of course, there are shortcomings, which are the common problems of his type of central defender, slow turning, and lack of flexibility.

And Zuma, the young player who is now partnered with Terry on the field, has good physical fitness, is tall and strong without losing speed, and his defensive skills are okay.

It's just that the sense of position is average, and someone needs to carry it, otherwise it is easy to panic and it is not good to play the ball.

In short, the physical condition is excellent, the technique is good, but the brain is not good.

Black players, Benjamin knows no better, and there are the most black players below the neck.

However, Kurt Zouma has also played well under the leadership of the experienced Terry.

'If they play out, they won't be satisfied with a draw at home.

Then looking for an opportunity, a long ball was played behind him, Terry was not fast enough, Kurt Zouma was inexperienced, and the goal came naturally. ”

This was what Benjamin had told the Tottenham players in the dressing room as early as half-time.

Whether he can do what he tells depends on the performance of these players on the field.

In the 64th minute, Drogba received a pass from a teammate and entered the penalty area, and then turned and hit the goal with his left foot and was held in Lloris's arms.

Chance for the visitors to counter-attack!

Lloris threw the ball away to Alderweireld with a strong hand, and Toby didn't hesitate to fly a long ball over the top straight across the half.

Two Chelsea centre-backs pressed into the centre circle and fought back.

But it was already half a beat slower, and Mane, Kane and Lamela had already started first, and the speed had increased.

Courtois, who had already attacked, saw that his teammates were chasing back in time, and retreated into the penalty area.

Kane receives the ball and is followed by the youngster Kurt Zouma who is in hot pursuit.

The Blues' young centre-back struggled to catch up with Kane with the ball, but he didn't dare to make a move.

His caution was right, and if Kurt Zouma had reached out and brought down Kane, a yellow card would have been indispensable.

Kane had a goalkeeper in front of him and a pursuer behind him, but he didn't show any panic.

A change of pace, Tottenham's leading goalscorer shook past Kurt Zouma and burst into the box!

Calmly shoot with Courtois Kane with his right foot!

The ball makes a white wave in the goal! The ball is in!

Two to one! Tottenham are taking the lead again!

Kane ran to the sidelines with his arms outstretched and his "plane" after scoring a goal.

A smile finally appeared on Benjamin's face, "This kid, when did you unlock the new celebration move?" ”

The cheering of Chelsea supporters came to an abrupt halt after another goal was scored, with a small cheer from the visiting fans echoing across Stamford Bridge.

The Blues' faces were getting more and more ugly, and Mourinho couldn't wait any longer, so he asked Remy to warm up on the sidelines.

In the 67th minute, Drogba was replaced by Remy.

The thirty-six-year-old Warcraft is long gone, and its form has obviously begun to decline in the second half.

As Drogba left the pitch, the home crowd gave the Blues a decorated veteran a round of applause.

Home wing-back Cesar Azpilicueta stepped up and then sent in a cross from the left.

Eden Hazard crossed into the box and Remy forced his way away from the defense and burst into the box.

The Chelsea striker, who then came off the bench, couldn't shake off Vertonghen, who was close to the guard, and forced his kick straight off the line.

Magic Bird glanced at the bench and stayed on Salah's body for a few seconds, but still asked Schurrle to warm up.

The Egyptian's expectations were disappointed and he wanted to play for the team.

The Mourinho promising, who was brought to Chelsea by his own hands, has struggled to adapt well to the brutal fouls and intense physical confrontations of Premier League defenders.

Coupled with his debut on a big stage like the Premier League, Salah is a little unbearable for the pressure of the British media.

At the same time, he has to face the strict requirements of Mourinho in the team at all times.

All this made Salah a little discouraged, and after sitting on the bench for a long time, the Egyptian had the idea of leaving.

In fact, even if Salah later offered to leave the team, Mourinho was not willing to let him go.

The fact that Salah was loaned out without a buyout fee shows that the Portuguese is really hoping to return to the Blues when Salah comes out.

However, while Salah found his form in Serie A and developed into a good top player, Jose Mourinho had already left Chelsea.

Maybe it's fate.

After ending his loan spell at Fiorentina, the Chelsea hierarchy did not opt for Mohamed Salah to return, instead selling him to Roma for 15 million euros.

So the blame has to be borne by the Blues management, and it's not Mourinho's problem anyway.

In the 90th minute, Schurrle's shot from the edge of the box was firmly held in Lloris's arms after breaking through on the side and cutting inside in front of the penalty area.

It's game over!

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Muñerio's Chelsea 2-1 away from home.

Benjamin's side continue to lead the Premier League table with an unbeaten record!
