Jose Mourinho is actually stepping up his attack.
In the 58th minute, Terry almost made a big mistake.
Under pressure from Romelu Lukaku, John Terry hastily passed back to Jose.
However, Terry's pass was a full three metres off.
Jose's ability to stop the ball has been greatly improved, but with a difference of more than three meters, it is not easy for Jose to stop this pass.
"Ugh." Jose sighed and decisively used "space-time pause".
Anyway, I've broken the vows, so I don't care about using it a few more times.
It's just that this point, I don't know what year and month it will take to save enough 10 million.

On the right side of the small penalty area, 3 yards in front of goal, Naismith kicked the goal.

Once again, Chelsea's defence is in vain.
Had it not been for Jose's excellent performance and Nemanja Matic's lucky goal, Chelsea would have suffered a heavy defeat.
After the game, Chelsea's performance drew criticism from all sides, and the topic of Mould's three years was constantly mentioned in the media.
According to media publicity, Abou is considering letting Mourinho go out of class because Mourinho can't play the beautiful football he wants, and Guardiola, who is idle at home, has become Abu's first choice.
Since then, news has come out that the only condition that Guardiola promised to coach Chelsea is to replace these Chelsea players, and the only people who can stay are Jose and Hazard.
Of course, Willian, Costa and Cesc Fabregas could probably stay as substitutes.
Pep Guardiola's demands undoubtedly scared Abu off.
There is no way to verify whether the news is true or false about Guardiola, but it shows two things.
First of all, it's time for a major change in Chelsea's squad.
The second thing, Guardiola doesn't do things that he is not sure of. The so-called coaching of weak teams to challenge is, in Guardiola's view, a sick brain behavior.
The media is full of news and Jose has no time to worry about it, as the Champions League group stage is about to begin.
Chelsea's first-round opponent is Maccabi Tel Aviv from Israel.
In this game, Jose continued to be the starting goalkeeper and wore the captain's armband.
Gary Cahill partnered Kurt Zouma at centre-back, Baba Rahman was given the chance to start at left wing-back and Cesar Azpilicueta reverted to right-back.

As for Eden Hazard, there is no one to shake the right winger position.
Up front, Remy was given a chance to start, with Costa on the bench.
As for Maccabi Tel Aviv, not to mention that Jose doesn't recognize a few, even Mourinho, he doesn't have much information collected.
All Jose knows is that the opposing manager, Jokanovic, who was also a Chelsea player, played under Jose Mourinho.
Therefore, this game is also named as a battle between master and apprentice.
This is the first time the two teams have met in Europe.
The referee on duty for this match was Germany's Zwayet.
Before the start of the game, in the tunnel of the players, Zwaile took the initiative to have a brief conversation with Jose.
Jose never imagined that he had only gone to the Bundesliga for one season and let the referee remember him.
Chelsea kick off first.
However, within a minute, Zike was booked.
The penalty standard of German referees is indeed higher than that of Premier League referees.
After figuring out the referee's criteria, the Chelsea players began to attack in earnest.
It was a one-sided game.
It was also Jose's most relaxed game since Chelsea.
Chelsea almost opened the scoring in the sixth minute.
Remy's through pass.
Willian was brought down by the opposition goalkeeper on the right side of the penalty area.
Yellow Dot Package.
Eden Hazard takes the penalty.
As a result, it flew away.
Eden Hazard has taken penalties in the Champions League on his last three occasions, all of which have been missed.
Some fans questioned why Jose was not allowed to take the penalty.
This is a question that can only be known by asking Mourinho.
Surprisingly, Mourinho did not blame Hazard for missing the penalty, but applauded everyone on the sidelines.
Chelsea opened the scoring in the 15th minute.
Chelsea were awarded a free-kick in front.
As Oscar's free-kick was blocked by the wall, this time the free-kick was handled by Willian.
Willian takes a free-kick and it looks like a pass.
Cahill grabbed the ball but couldn't get his hands on it.
The ball hit the ground.
In an unexpected scene, the ball bounced off the ground and continued to fly towards the goal, before sticking to the right post and entering the net.

After that, Willian went off injured and Costa came off the bench.
In the 31st minute, Maccabi had his first chance.
Aleksandar Mitrovic crosses from a free-kick from the right.
Zahavi got on the ball.
It was just that his header was easily confiscated by Jose.
It was Jose's first save of the game.
Half-time stoppage time.
Substitute Costa burst into the left side of the box and was brought down by former Chelsea defender Ben Haim.
Zwaille awarded another penalty.
Oscar takes the penalty and fires a low shot into the bottom left corner.
2 to 0.
In this world, there is only one Jose, and in the vast majority of cases, a penalty means a goal.
The second half continued.
In the 58th minute, Cesc Fabregas passed the ball directly into the penalty area.
From 12 yards, Costa volleyed the ball into the top right corner.
3 to 0.
It was the first time that the 'Faco Connection' had worked in the Champions League and the first time Costa had scored for Chelsea in the Champions League.
With a big lead, Chelsea have already sealed the win.
It's just that the game isn't over yet.
In the 78th minute, Hazard counter-attacked with a diagonal cross.
Remy shot from the edge of the box was narrowly blocked by the goalkeeper.
Cesc Fabregas picked up a leak in front of goal and easily made up for the empty net.

The only suspense is whether there will be a goal or not.
In the 87th minute, Maccabi counterattacked.
Peretz breaks down the right and crosses.
On the edge of the six-yard box, Nossa shovels.
However, Jose was prepared and made a leap of effort to block the ball with one hand.
It was Jose's second and last save of the game.
In the end, Chelsea won 4-0 at home.
[The task is completed, your base points are doubled, and now the base score is 2000 points.] 】
When the referee's final whistle blew, the system settled the mission reward on time.
Jose didn't even bother to look at it, so he turned off the system light curtain.
After the system changed the way the task was done, Jose found that it was not difficult to complete a single mission, but it was not easy to complete the system task all the time.
Who has made the Chelsea backline full of holes in this period?
The Champions League win has given Chelsea's morale a big boost.
Chelsea are top of the group thanks to a 2-2 draw at Dynamo Kyiv at Porto in the same group.
Jose Mourinho did not give his players any more time off after the Champions League tie as the weekend's league opponent was Arsene Wenger's Arsenal.
I was unlucky, my phone was broken, and I almost didn't get it fully updated.
