Chapter 252: Penalty + Own Long

Watford drew the first kick-off.

However, their attack failed to pass Chelsea's midfield.

Possession was at the feet of Chelsea.

In the 3rd minute, Pedro crossed from the right.

In the middle of the small penalty area, Costa pressed the opposing defender's header to the goal.

Unfortunately, the top was deflected, and the ball flew out of the bottom line from the top left of the goal.

In the 6th minute, in the middle of the penalty area, Azpilicueta hit the goal with his left foot.

The ball went wide of the right-hand post.

In the 8th minute, Oscar shot from outside the box.

The ball goes out of the top right corner of the goal.

Chelsea attacked one after another, but struggled to threaten the opposition goal.

Watford, for their part, carried Chelsea's early attacking loads and gradually adapted to the pace of the game.

In the 12th minute, Cesar Azpilicueta was out of position behind him, giving Watson a chance to break through.

On the right side of the penalty area, Watson crosses the ball on the ground.

In the middle of the penalty area, 10 yards in front of goal, Jurado followed up with a left-footed stab.

The ball rolls towards the bottom left of the goal.

Jose seemed to have been prepared, making a side save and easily confiscating the opponent's shot.

Habitually glancing at the front of the field, Jose noticed that Watford's return was quite quick.

With no chance to play directly behind the opposition, Jose opted to pass the ball to Cahill in front of him.

The battle for midfield is back in action.

Watford were promoted but they played with confidence and defended very well.

The battle in midfield was fierce but not exciting.

Until the 32nd minute, Pedro hit the rib in the penalty area.

The ball flies straight to the top right corner of the goal.

The opposing goalkeeper leaped hard and single-handedly lifted Pedro's shot off the line.

Chelsea win a corner on the right.

Willian takes a corner and passes it straight into the box.

John Terry grabbed the first spot and headed straight at goal.

However, Terry's header hit Cahill's back.

Just as Chelsea fans sigh.

The bouncing ball falls in front of Costa.

In the middle of the box, on the edge of the six-yard box, Costa half-turned and volleyed.

The ball flies straight to the bottom left of the goal.

Gomez was not Jose after all, and could only watch as the ball flew into the net.

1-0 lead.

With the score down, Watford launched a counter-attack with all their might.

It's just that their attacks don't threaten Jose at all.

Without a certain coordinated shot, Jose doesn't even need a "god-level prediction", and his experience alone can block in advance.

You know, Jose has been working hard in the top league for just over three years and less than four years.

Therefore, Watford's counterattack was like thunder and rain.

In the 42nd minute, Watford won a corner.

A corner from the right was delivered straight to the left side of the Chelsea penalty area.

The ball hit Nemanja Matic.

"Beep, beep~" the referee blew the whistle and pointed to the 12-yard position.

Penalty kick!

Watford were awarded a penalty.

Video replays from the scene showed that when the ball hit Matic, he did not withdraw his arm in time, but used his arm to block the direction of the ball's flight.

Very unnecessary defensive moves.

The referee awarded a penalty and there was no controversy at all.

Jose finally understands why the system is giving him two chances to use the plug-in.

Teammates send points in the penalty area, but the pot needs Jose to carry it.

Watford striker Deeney was in charge of the penalty.

José had to prepare for it.

I saw Deeney standing in front of the penalty spot, taking a deep breath, running, touching the ball, and hitting the goal in one go.

Deeney was cunning, playing with his right foot on the left side of the goal, but instead opted to play on the right side of the middle.

Even experienced goalkeepers will inevitably be deceived by Dieney's hand.

But unlike the others, Jose will wait for the opponent to touch the ball and determine the direction of the goal when the god level prediction and sixth sense do not respond.

Therefore, Dini's routine completely failed in front of Jose.

With the middle to the right, Jose didn't even need to use the timeout, just a stretch of his left foot to block Deeney's penalty.

When the opposing player was about to make a second shot, Oscar rushed into the penalty area in time to clear the ball.

Chelsea escaped.

At the end of the first half, Chelsea were lucky enough to take a 1-0 lead over Watford thanks to a goal from Costa and Jose saving a penalty.

After the break, the second half began.

Chelsea take the ball.

It went straight to Cahill at the back.

Cahill distributed the ball to Cesc Fabregas on the right side in front of him.

Chelsea organised a new attack.

It's a pity that he couldn't get past the midfield and was poked out of the boundary by the opposing player.

Taking advantage of the dead-ball opportunity, Mourinho began to make substitutions.

Mikel replaces Cesc Fabregas.

In this game, Xiaofa did not have many opportunities to perform, so Mourinho replaced him with Mikel, who had better defensive ability.

The boundary ball was taken and tossed to Cesar Azpilicueta on the left.

Azpilicueta then passed back to Jose.

Jose stopped the ball, glanced at the front of the field and saw Pedro near the center circle.

Jose Bigfoot long pass.

The ball flew straight to Pedro.

Pedro took the ball, pushed to the left, and passed to Oscar next to him.

Oscar burst into the left side of the opposition penalty area with the ball and was knocked down by an opposing player when he tried to continue forward.

The referee said nothing.

Possession fell to Watford.

Watford counter-attacked quickly and in the blink of an eye it was already on the left side of the Chelsea penalty area.

Holebas gets the ball in.

A cross to get the ball to the middle of the box.

Just as Jose was about to attack, Ivan took the lead to block the ball off the line.

Watford win a corner from the left.

The corner kick is taken and it is passed to the back post.

As the ball flew over the penalty area, Jose suddenly jumped to his feet and plucked it straight out of mid-air.

Jose quickly took a goal kick and passed it directly to Costa.

Costa picked up the ball and strode forward, sprinting near the center circle in the blink of an eye.

Just as Costa was about to move on, the returning Watford player Cathcart knocked him down.

The referee decisively showed the second yellow card of the game.

The set-piece was taken and passed to Willian.

Willian took the ball and sent a through ball straight away.

On the right side of the opponent's penalty area, Ivan got a pass from Willian.

Just as Ivan was about to burst into the box, Watford's Britos arrived and shoveled the ball straight out of the line.

Chelsea were awarded another corner.

The corner kick was directly blocked in the penalty area by the opposing goalkeeper.

Near the arc island outside the penalty area, players from both sides compete for the ball.

"Beep, beep~" The referee blew the whistle again.

The Watford player fouled and Abdi pushed Oscar down.

The set-piece was taken but still failed to form an effective goal.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed in the second half.

Watford get a perimeter kick.

The boundary ball is taken and the ball reaches the feet of Jurado.

Jurado split the ball to the edge of the penalty area and the ball reached Ighalo's feet.

Odion Ighalo dribbled the ball to the left side of the penalty area, as if he were in no man's land.

When Odion Ighalo entered the box, a bad feeling welled up in Jose's mind.

On the left side of the box, Odion Ighalo hit the goal with his left foot, and the ball flew towards the right side of the goal.

Immediately after, a scene occurred that caught José almost off guard.

Odion Ighalo's ball bounced off Cahill's foot and was refracted 90 degrees on the spot, and the ball flew towards the left side of the goal.

, it's an own goal!

Jose didn't hesitate and went straight to the first "timeout" of the game.

It turned out that the system had already foreseen all this.

Relying on the extra second, Jose finally got to the left side of the goal before the ball and then blocked it with his foot.

Cahill made up for it and cleared the ball out of the box as soon as possible.

Once again, Chelsea escaped.

Jose kicks in the goal kick with a big foot.

Players from both sides competed again near the center circle.

At this time, Hazard began to warm up on the sidelines, with only one goal advantage, which is obviously not safe (digression: of course it is not safe, and it is impossible to carry it if you send some points and own goals).

Chelsea went on the attack.

Did Mourinho understand that attacking is the best defence?

Sadly, Chelsea don't seem to have much to do against a dense crowd of Watford players.

Although they were behind the scoreline, Watford's players also understood that as long as they didn't concede a second goal, then they had a chance to equalise.

In the 65th minute, Jose made a long pass with a big foot, and the ball reached the feet of Oscar.

Near the center circle, Oscar crosses the ball diagonally with a low flat ball.

On the right side of the pitch, Willian got Oscar's pass.

Willian sent a through ball forward, like a precise scalpel, directly tearing through the opposition's defence.

On the right side of the penalty area, Costa scrambled to get the ball first.

Costa adjusts a little and shoots a good shot with his right foot.

The ball flew straight to the far side and into the net from the bottom left side of the goal.

2 to 0.

The die is cast.

In the 75th minute, Mourinho made another substitution.

Eden Hazard replaces Pedro.

Willian frequently attacked Watford on the right, but was never able to find the back of the net.

In the 80th minute, Cahill passed back to Jose.

Jose played a long ball straight to Hazard.

Hazard picked up the ball and advanced all the way, and in the blink of an eye it was already on the left side of the box.

Just as Hazard was about to push further, Watford's Behrami stretched out his foot to bring Hazard down.

"Beep, beep~" The referee's whistle sounded.

Chelsea were awarded penalties.

"This referee can be punished, but he is willing to give me a penalty." A fan left a message.

Oscar takes the penalty.

Hitting the door with his right foot, he gave Watford a big Christmas present.

In the eager eyes of Blues fans, Oscar hit the plane on the spot!

Chelsea missed the chance to extend their leads.

[The task is completed, congratulations to the host for getting the points doubled reward, and your base points are increased to 8000 points.] 】

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the system settled the task reward on time.

According to the system requirements, Jose could use two "time and space timeouts", but at the time of the penalty, Jose saved a cheating because the opponent is now playing in the middle.

As for Watford's other shots, they didn't threaten Jose at all, so Jose didn't need to use a plug-in anymore.
