Chapter 231: Narrowly Won (Subscription Requested)

Hand toss the ball to take a goal kick.

Once again, the battle for midfield began.

However, just a minute later, Newcastle United were again inside the box.

Newcastle play at home, and although they have given up possession, it does not mean that they have given up attacking.

From the edge of the box, Sissoko took possession of the ball and suddenly shot hard with his feet.

The ball flew straight past the Chelsea backline and towards the right side of the goal.

Just as the ball was about to reach the goal, Jose's figure flashed, as if he had expected it, and easily confiscated Sissoko's long-range shot.

The game continued, and it was still Newcastle United's goal.

Janmatt passes through the wing.

The ball went straight across the half-court into the Chelsea box.

Perez volleyed as soon as he got the ball.

The ball flew quickly towards the goal and then fell into Jose's arms.

It's not that Perez's shot is too angled, it's that Jose has been prepared.

Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma are both in average form, with opposition players basically having chances on goal as long as they can dribble into the box.

Faced with such a situation, José did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

No one believes it, facing the championship team Arsenal, Jose almost fell asleep at the back, and against Newcastle United, who had a poor start, Jose was always like a big enemy.

But such an unbelievable thing is happening at this moment.

Jose takes a goal kick.

Chelsea were again under siege on Newcastle but were unable to find the back of the box.

On the contrary, it was Newcastle's players who became more and more confident the more they played, and their active scrambling finally got the chance to counterattack again.

In the Blues penalty area, Janmaat and Perez collided with the wall, attracting Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma to charge for Perez.

From 12 yards, Janmatt swept a left-footed shot.

The angle of the shot was light, but unfortunately he still failed to pass Jose's ten finger barrier, and he was directly confiscated again.

Mourinho was unhappy with the poor defense, but he didn't do anything other than to look bad.

Jose takes a quick goal kick.

Hazard took the ball and ran wildly, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the Newcastle penalty area.

In the face of interception from a Newcastle player, Hazard opted to pass the ball directly to Cesc Fabregas.

Outside the Newcastle penalty area, Cesc Fabregas picked up the ball and shot from distance.

Unfortunately, the angle of the shot was too positive, and it was saved by the opposing goalkeeper Krul.

Chelsea were awarded a corner.

Corner kick taken.

There was chaos in the Newcastle penalty area.

The ball raced towards the Newcastle penalty area and then smashed into Sissoko's arm.

Oscar immediately complained to the referee about Sissoko's handball, but Atkinson refused to award a penalty.

As one of the "four blinds in the Premier League", Atkinson said he had not seen handball at all.

Chelsea fans booed from the stands.

In the 42nd minute, Newcastle had an absolute chance to score.

Anita crosses from the right.

Based on the direction of the ball, its altitude and its speed, Jose estimated that Kurt Zouma would be able to clear the ball with a header.

However, the results were quite unexpected.

The ball flew over Kurt Zouma's head and to the other side.

Jose was upset, and at the same time his figure moved quickly.

From 11 yards on the left side of the penalty area, Perez leaned on Ivan and fired a direct volley.

The ball immediately turned quickly to the left side of the goal.

Jose was anxious, and he could see that Perez's shot was extremely tricky.

If nothing happens, the ball will graze the left post and bounce into the net.

At this point, José has two options.

The first option is to use a plug-in, which would be 100% direct to Perez's shot.

The second option is to gamble with all your might.

José chose the second.

Just as the Newcastle fans were about to celebrate their goal, Jose arrived.

Jose gently pushed the ball with his fingertips, and although he couldn't save the ball, he just changed the trajectory of the ball, causing it to hit the left post and bounce back.

This time, Ivan finally did not disappoint Jose, and he cleared the ball out of the box as soon as possible.

Chelsea escaped and Jose retains hope of continuing his mission.

Just before half-time, Cesc Fabregas's long-range shot was again slightly wide.

Chelsea had possession but couldn't get into the Newcastle box.

At the end of the first half, the two sides played 0-0.

As they left the pitch, Newcastle fans gave the team a standing ovation for their excellent performance in the first half.

Against Chelsea, who could hold and had a couple of dangerous shots on goal, the Newcastle fans were certainly satisfied.

Intermission.

"Why do I think Newcastle is more like a bus?"

"Don't think it, the whole Premier League knows that the best way to deal with Mourinho is to use his tactics against him."

"Will the broken car lose? That's what I'm missing. ”

"It's hard to say, do you think Jose is not as good as he was in the Bundesliga? Just now, Perez's shot on goal, if it was Jose before, he would definitely be able to win it directly. ”

'I feel that way, so do the goalkeepers still need to adapt to the team?'

"Isn't that nonsense? Of course, the goalkeeper also needs to be integrated with the team. In the pharmaceutical days, the whole back line was under Jose's command, and now Chelsea hehe. ”

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Chelsea continue to press Newcastle attack.

It's just that there aren't many opportunities.

Oscar crosses from the left.

Remy headed in from 12 yards but it was too high.

Eden Hazard and Pedro both tried to open the gap with a breakthrough, but the Newcastle defence didn't give it any chances.

Breaking through the dense defense has become a problem of the century.

In the 60th minute, Newcastle counter-attacked and won another corner kick opportunity.

Perez was in charge of the corner.

There was chaos in the Chelsea box.

In the confusion, José discovers that Wijnaldum is unguarded.

José wanted to make a loud noise, but it was too late.

Perez's corner was about to fly into the box.

Jose could only intercept Wijnaldum himself.

It is absolutely impossible for one person to block the entire goal, and all Jose can do is to block the most dangerous areas as much as possible.

As expected, eight yards in front of the goal, the unmarked Wijnaldum hit the ball.

I saw him hit the ball with his head and smashed it into the bottom left corner of the goal.

This kind of header will definitely result in a goal if it is not foreseen.

Fortunately, Jose's sixth sense took effect, although it was not as rebellious as the god-level prediction, but it was enough.

When the ball was about to reach the goal line, Jose arrived as well.

I saw Jose stretch out his right leg and accurately block the opponent's header.

The ball was blocked just in front of Nemanja Matic.

Matic didn't say a word, and went straight out of the penalty area.

Chelsea escaped.

It's obviously not a very good thing to keep the other side fighting in this way.

With that in mind, Mourinho made a substitution in the 61st minute.

Falcao and Willian replaced Nemanja Matic and Remy.

Drop a defensive midfielder and bring on Remy, who has been booed and distracted.

However, the effect is not significant.

Ivan even received a yellow card for blocking the opponent's attack.

In the 73rd minute, Mourinho made another substitution and used up the last substitution.

Ramirez came off the bench and Oscar was substituted.

In this game, Oscar's performance was a bit quiet, and in the face of Newcastle's dense defense, Oscar seemed helpless, with 61 passes and a success rate of only 63%.

In the 79th minute, Mourinho's substitution finally came to fruition.

Kurt Zouma's header back to Jose.

Jose picked up the ball and found Hazard with a long ball on his foot.

Eden Hazard won the ball on the flank and cut inside to attract three Newcastle players to intercept him.

Eden Hazard passed the ball and the ball reached Ramirez just outside the arc.

In the face of two Newcastle players, Ramirez fired a powerful shot into the top left corner.

The ball went in.

Chelsea finally broke the deadlock.

There was a dead silence in the stands of the home fans.

Once the balance is broken, Newcastle's steady counter-attacking tactics will not work.

The situation was completely reversed in one fell swoop.

Chelsea began to drop back and then look for counter-attacking opportunities.

The score of 1-0 is obviously not safe.

Chelsea have shrunk their formation but have never given up on attacking.

In the 84th minute, Jose again confiscated Pérez's shot.

Decisive and fast kick the goal.

The ball is at the feet of Hazard.

The king of the ball cut inside on the left side, passed 4 people in a row and shot with his feet.

It's a pity that it was blocked by the other party.

In a minute, Cesc Fabregas successfully broke the ball at the back and passed directly behind the Newcastle defence.

Pedro, who successfully countered offside, burst into the right rib of the penalty area with the ball.

10 yards in front of the door, Pedro gate.

It's speechless, he actually hit high.

Jose Mourinho stood on the sidelines to applaud Pedro.

Sometimes, the motivation of the manager can really increase the motivation of the players.

In the 87th minute, Chelsea were awarded another free-kick from the left.

Willian crosses from a free-kick from the left.

Ramirez was unsuccessful in the battle, but interfered with Krul's judgment.

As a result, the ball grazed past the Dutch goalkeeper and flew into the net.

Chelsea are 2-0 up.

The Blues fans and Jose Mourinho finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

With a two-goal lead, with less than ten minutes remaining, with Jose's ability to save, it was categorically impossible to give the opponent a chance to equalize.

In the end, Chelsea won the game in a thrilling way.

Post-match wrap-up.

Chelsea had a significant lead in possession but had just four shots on target, and it is hard to say if it wasn't for Ramirez who broke the deadlock first.

Mourinho is not satisfied with the current state of the team, but Jose is very dissatisfied.

Last season, Jose won the Bundesliga and the Champions League with Bayer Leverkusen, but in the Champions League, it was extremely hard to win.

In the eyes of some fans, the Champions League champion of the pharmaceutical company has more luck than strength.

As there are still Champions League group stage games to play in the following midweek, the team still has no holiday.

In this regard, everyone can only accept it helplessly.

The next day, Jose returned to the Cobham training base as usual, but instead of going to the dressing room as usual, he went straight to Mourinho's office.

There are some things that he needs to discuss with Mourinho.

It's a shame to say that as a person who specializes in repairing other people's mobile phones, I can't repair my own mobile phone.

If the mobile phone is not repaired, it is a big deal to replace it with a new one, but all the information saved in the past ten years is gone.

The mobile phone chip process is indeed getting more and more refined, but the ability to resist blows is getting worse and worse.

The CPU and hard disk are both encrypted accessories, which cannot be replaced at all, not to mention that even the data cannot be exported by other methods.

I often tell my clients not to store important information in their phones, but I don't do that.

Shame on you.
