Jose's feelings were not wrong.

The Chelsea players, in the summer, did not rest for long.

Chelsea followed up with two warm-up games after the Premier League fixture, with them not taking a break until 2 June, just a few days before Jose.

In addition, Jose's return to the team was half a month late.

Unbeknownst to people in this world, in another world of the same kind, Chelsea for a variety of reasons have produced the lowest league points in the Abou era.

In the end, thanks to Oxlade-Chamberlain's first-half goal, Arsenal beat Chelsea 1-0 and won the first championship trophy of the new season.

Mourinho doesn't really care about losing this trophy.

Rumor has it that the team that wins the Community Shield usually doesn't win the Premier League.

…

The Community Shield is not worth much discussion as Premier League teams are gearing into the build-up to the new season, with the first leg set to kick off in a week's time.

The countdown to the summer transfer period is also underway.

Jose Mourinho has made his sights set on the club and Brightton's John Stones has his eye on him.

Only this time, Abu failed to fulfill Mourinho's wishes.

Chelsea have made four offers, the highest of which was £40 million, which Everton rejected when John Stones had already agreed to go to Stamford Bridge.

This summer, Chelsea's soap opera with John Stones was a long, smelly tug-of-war.

In the end, until the transfer window closed, Chelsea were unable to bring Stones to Jose Mourinho.

Jose also regretted missing out on Stones, as a good defender can make his job a lot easier.

Chelsea missed out on John Stones, while Tottenham Hotspur had their sights on Bayer Leverkusen's Son Heung-chou.

Although Son Heung-chou's performance in the Champions League was not very congested, and even less convincing than Wendell behind him, he was still favored by other teams.

In order to get Son Xingchou, Tottenham first promised to double his salary, which was an irresistible temptation for Son Xingchou, who originally only had an annual salary of one million euros.

Because he was afraid that the Leverkusen team would not let him go, Tottenham contacted Son Xingchou's agent again and instigated Son Xingchou to strike his training to achieve the transfer goal.

Sometimes, the transfer market is like this, and there are all kinds of means besides money.

Jose didn't know, in fact, the transfer rumors about him have never stopped.

Clubs interested in him have also made their own offers, with the vast majority of Real Madrid's £60 million purchase of Jose being true.

It's just that these offers were all directly rejected by Abu.

There are two players in the current Chelsea squad and unless the players themselves apply for a transfer, they are definitely not for sale.

Jose is one of them, the other being Eden Hazard, the Premier League's best player last season.

The two players that Abramou bought at the outright price are now not for sale at Chelsea.

Speaking of Hazard, Rao is the envy of José.

Since José realized that his daily training could no longer improve him, he began to reduce the intensity of his training, and only kept the basic training to maintain his condition.

Hazard is different, his training can only be described in one word, that is, lazy!

Hazard has always been pretentious about the training content arranged by the assistant coach, as if he has never woken up, but that's it, once he is on the pitch, he immediately becomes lively and omnipotent.

José knows that this is talent, real talent.

"If Hazard had worked a little harder, he might have won the Ballon d'Or too, right?" Jose sighed.

"Could it be that Hazard also has a plug-in? No. José immediately stopped his crazy thoughts.

In addition to Hazard's laziness, another surprise to Jose was Willian, a Brazilian player who did not look like a Brazilian player.

Jose has been in contact with many Brazilian players, including Neymar, and what they have in common is their delicate foot skills.

But William is different, and most of his foot skills are premised on practicality.

Willian is very hardworking, whether it is training on or off the field, and Hazard is just two extremes.

…

It has only been a week since he returned to the team, and the relationship between Jose and his teammates is not very familiar.

Jose knows that in order to conquer them, he will need to show on the field.

Therefore, in the first game of the Premier League season, Mourinho chose Courtois to start, and his explanation was that Courtois was more familiar with team-mates.

Jose didn't say anything about Mourinho's choice, he knew very well in his heart that Courtois was not a weak goalkeeper, and it was naturally impossible for him to seize the opponent's main position as soon as he returned.

Jose is confident that within a month, he will win the main position.

Today, compared to a year ago, his mentality is completely different.

A year ago, he was in a hurry to prove his ability to the world in order to get a chance to start.

Now, he just needs to maintain the status quo and he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

If José can go one step further, then he is the "number 0 man in the world"!

…

At Stamford Bridge on 8 August, Chelsea's 15/16 Premier League season kicks off with Swansea City.

For this opening match, Mourinho took it very seriously.

The starting line-ups for both sides were not announced until before the start of the game.

For Chelsea, Jose Mourinho put on the 4231 formation that he is known for, and the specific list is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois.

Defenders: Cesar Azpilicueta, John Terry, Gary Cahill, Branislav Ivanovic.

Two midfielders: Cesc Fabregas, Nemanja Matic.

Attacking defenders: Eden Hazard, Oscar, Willian.

Centre-forward: Diego Costa.

Jose, Falcao, Kurt Zuma and others were on the bench.

As for Swansea, head coach Monk also lined up the 4231 formation, the specific list is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Fabianski.

Defenders: Neil Taylor, Ashley Williams, Federico Fernandez, Norton.

Double midfielders: Qi Chengyong, Shelvey.

Attacking defenders: Montero, Sigurdsson, Adré Ayew.

Center: Gomi.

On the bench sat Jack Cork, Routledge, Ed, and others.

The referee of this match is 30-year-old Michael Oliver.

…

For this game, it is widely believed that Chelsea can easily win.

First of all, in terms of historical records, Chelsea have beaten Swansea twice in the past two seasons, and have won eight and drawn four in the last 12 league home games against Swansea to remain unbeaten.

Swansea's last league win away to Chelsea was in 1925.

The second is that Chelsea have started the last 16 seasons with 14 wins and two draws to remain unbeaten, of which Mourinho has won all of them.

With such a record, Chelsea have no reason not to win.

Before the start of the game, the live broadcast footage frequently captured Jose.

With his current level of attention, even if he doesn't play, there will be no lack of attention.

José sat bored on the bench, and next to him sat young Zuma, and the two of them bowed their heads from time to time to talk, and as for what they were talking about, no one knew at all except themselves, because the language they spoke was French.

When the players from both sides came out of the tunnel, the live camera moved away from Jose.

Swansea drew the first kick-off.

After kick-off, they played very patiently.

Jose looked at the players on both sides on the pitch and suddenly realized that he had only been away for a season, and there were many players he didn't know.

Swansea went close to opening the scoring in the ninth minute when Chervay headed in a corner and Gomis nodded wide of the far post.

Swansea were in danger again in the 15th minute when Shelvey crossed and Gomis got the ball behind John Terry and shook Cahill before firing a shot from 12 yards.

John Terry slowed the ball down with a tackle and Cahill cleared it in front of the empty net.

Then Ji Chengyong's left-footed half-volley from the edge of the box was saved by Courtois.

Chelsea then launched a quick counter-attack and Diego Costa burst into the left side of the box.

Federico trips the Brazilian after a flying tackle.

Referee Oliver refused to award a penalty.

The home fans booed.

For the changes on the field, it is natural that Jose can't escape the eyes, he is silently paying attention to the playing habits of his teammates on the field.

Since you can't command your teammates to cooperate with you, try to cooperate with your teammates first.

Chelsea took the lead in the 23rd minute.

Oscar crosses from a free kick outside the top left corner of the box.

Cahill and Ivanovic failed to grab the spot, but managed to interfere with Fabianski's judgment.

The ball went straight into the far corner, 1-0.

However, before the home fans had time to rejoice for a few minutes, Swansea equalised.

Montero breaks down the left and crosses.

Gomis' header from 10 yards was brilliantly saved by Courtois.

Andre Ayew's shot from the edge of the six-yard box was narrowly blocked by Cahill before he swept into the net again.

1-1。

Regarding the goal conceded, Jose believes Cahill's defense has been done to the extreme.

But Ayew's two shots were even better.

Jose admits that if he were on the court, he would only have a 50% chance of winning it without using the hanging.

Of course, if the god-level prediction responds in advance, then Gomis's header will be directly won by Jose.

After Chelsea conceded a goal, the live camera once again lingered on Jose for a long time, and people should wonder if the goal would have been conceded if Jose had been on the pitch.

After all, for Jose, a quick second save has become a routine operation.

It's just that there will never be an answer to this question.

The game continues.

Chelsea's players continued to attack the opposition goal.

Jose Mourinho's team is not only defensive, but his attacking routine is slightly inferior.

In the 30th minute, Chelsea put the lead on the scoresheet again.

Willian's cross from the left side of the box deflected off Federico's leg and into the far corner.

Own goal, 2-1.

Although there is an element of luck in this overtake, it is a good thing to be able to overtake.

Chelsea ended the first half with a 2-1 scoreline.

At half-time, Jose Mourinho refine-tuned his half-time set-up.

Mourinho, a top-level on-the-spot conductor, was quick to point out the problems between the two sides in the first half.
