Chapter 259: Earned (Ask for Follow-up)

After the FA Cup game, Jose's accumulated reward multiplier reached 1024 times, which means that Jose can complete the task at this time and get more than one million points at one time.

With the FA Cup being played at the weekend, Premier League fixtures have been moved to midweek.

At 19:45 local time on 3 February, Chelsea took on Watford away.

Chelsea have won seven and drawn two of their last nine meetings with Watford.

Watford's last win against Chelsea was in 1999.

The two sides have met 28 times in history, with Chelsea holding the advantage with 14 wins, 5 draws and 9 defeats.

Kurt Zouma, Mikel Mikel, Cesar Azpilicueta and Willian rotated back into the starting line-up, with Eden Hazard on the bench.

[New Mission: Help the team get a clean sheet without using "Time and Space Pause" to reward double the points.] Your current base score is 1,024,000 points. 】

Before the start of the match, the system released new missions.

Both sides appeared cautious after the opening.

In the 6th minute, Watford's top scorer Odion Ighalo, the first shot in front of the penalty area, was blocked by Azpilicueta.

Jose also saved a save.

In the 15th minute, Diego Costa's shot from a tight angle on the right side of the penalty area was blocked.

In the 17th minute, Watford fired a series of long-range shots from outside the box, all of which were blocked by Chelsea's defenders.

Watford had as many as 10 shots on goal in the first half hour, but none of them could threaten Jose.

After most of the season, Chelsea's defenders have begun to take the initiative to cooperate with Jose in defense.

Although Chelsea's attack has been weak this season and the form of the defenders has been up and down, the defenders have finally found much form under Jose's one-man defense.

And Chelsea's defence has always been one of the strongest in the world.

In the 31st minute, Jose was threatened for the first time.

Watford win a corner on the right.

Big foot into the box.

In the middle of the box, 12 yards, Watford's No.5 centre-back Pledder headed home.

The ball flew straight into the middle of the goal.

It was Watford's first shot on target.

It's a pity that they are facing José.

Seeing that Jose's body moved slightly, he easily confiscated the opponent's shot.

Jose takes a quick goal kick.

However, thanks to the aggressive scrambling of Watford's players, Chelsea were unable to form a threatening shot.

A minute later, Watford struck again in front of the Chelsea penalty area.

In the middle of the penalty area, Odion Ighalo took the ball and in the face of Zouma's interception, he chose to hit the goal with his right foot.

The ball went through the Chelsea defence and straight underneath the goal.

A low flat shot was indeed more threatening than a header a minute earlier.

Unfortunately, the angle was too positive and it was Jose who was encountered.

I saw Jose standing still, bending forward, putting his hands forward, and steadily protecting the opponent's shot.

Jose took another goal kick.

However, just thirty seconds later, Watford was in the box again.

Most of Chelsea's attacking players were in poor form today, and if it weren't for Watford's weak attack, Jose might not have been able to keep the ball in the back of the net.

In the middle of the penalty area, Jurado took the ball, and in the face of Zouma's interception, Jurado did not shoot greedily, but passed diagonally to the right side of the penalty area.

The ball reached Capoue's feet.

On the right side of the box, 10 yards out, Capoue fired a powerful right-footed shot.

The ball flew like a cannonball into the top right corner of the goal.

It was the most dangerous shot of the game.

If it weren't for Jose in goal, Capoue would probably have scored a goal.

It's a pity that there are no ifs.

José leaped and made a sideways move to block Capoue's powerful shot.

The ball didn't get far away, and just as Capoue was ready to make a second shot, Stones scrambled to clear the ball out of the box.

Although John Stones is about the same age as Kurt Zouma, his defensive solidity is slightly better than Zouma's.

After that, Chelsea's attacking players finally recovered and began to attack Watford.

As a result, Watford were no longer able to threaten Jose's goal.

Chelsea came close to opening the scoring in the 38th minute.

Oscar's long biography.

The ball reached Costa's feet.

On the left side of the box, Costa escaped the opposition two-man defence and fired a diagonal shot from 12 yards.

The ball hit Cathcart, the opposing centre-back, deflected on the spot, and finally grazed the right post and deflected off the line.

Chelsea missed a great opportunity.

A minute later, Holevas burst into the left side of the box.

Ivanovic intercepts it for defense.

In full view, Holevas fell in the box.

A Watford player asks the referee for a penalty.

Referee Mike Dean refused to award a penalty after communicating with the linesman.

In the eyes of the linesman, Holevas was even suspected of faking a fall, but the referee did not give him a penalty.

Just before half-time, Chelsea had another good chance.

On the left side of the box, Oscar passes.

The ball reached the feet of Cesar Azpilicueta beside him.

Cesar Azpilicueta won the ball and struck a right-footed shot into the far corner.

It's a pity that it missed.

The ball goes out of the bottom line on the right side of the goal.

In stoppage time of the half, Costa got into an altercation with Paredes on the wing

The referee didn't ask the reason, and directly played 50 boards each, and both were punished with yellow cards.

It is rumored that as long as Costa is involved in a dispute, it is basically not wrong to show him a yellow card directly.

In the second half, the two sides exchanged venues.

As the Chelsea players recovered, Jose began to sit idle.

He can only occasionally pick up a team-mate's return pass in the backfield and then kick it out.

It's a pity that with the study of Jose by various teams in the Premier League, it was found that Jose's goal kick was extremely threatening, so they would defend it in a targeted manner.

Jose's long ball was of good quality, but it was too far away from the opposition goal to achieve much effect.

In the 46th minute, Chelsea opened the shot.

Xiaofa sent a direct pass.

On the left side of the penalty area, Oscar hesitated a little and then shot at goal, only to be blocked by the opposing player.

Or Chelsea's possession.

The ball reached Mikel's feet.

On the edge of the box, Mikel bursts into the box.

As a result, it was blocked by the opposing player.

However, the ball still hangs in the direction of goal.

Walter goalkeeper Gomez turned back in time to lift the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

Chelsea were awarded another corner.

The corner kick was directly blocked by the opposing player and failed to pose any threat.

In the 48th minute, Watford had another chance to get their feet on the ground.

In the Blues box, Watford's No.9 Dieney takes the ball.

Before Kurt Zouma pressed closer, he hurriedly hit the goal with his right foot.

Jose could see at a glance that the opponent's shot was off target.

As expected, the ball deflected off the left post.

Three minutes later, Watford was in goal again.

On the left side of the penalty area, Holevas combined with Capoue to break away from Cesar Azpilicueta's defence.

On the left side of the six-yard box, Holevas shoots with his feet.

Jose has completely blocked all the angles of shots.

Holevas tried to avoid Jose and ended up hitting the side-netting.

It was Watford's last shot of the game at full.

Since then, Jose has never been threatened by a shot on goal.

In the 55th minute, Chelsea had another good chance.

On the left side of the small penalty area, near the baseline, Costa passes back behind.

Oscar stabbed at close range.

The results are slightly off.

In the 59th minute, Nemanja Matic volleyed in from 25 yards.

The ball passes through the opposition defence and flies straight below the goal.

Unfortunately, he failed to get past the opponent's goalkeeper and was confiscated after being saved by Gomez.

The game went on and Chelsea kept pressing.

In the 69th minute, Ivan made a long pass from the back and sent it directly to Oscar on the left.

Outside the left side of the box, 25 yards, Oscar faced Capoue's defence and shook off the opposition with a feint.

Oscar shoots directly with his right foot.

The ball flew straight below the goal like a high-speed cannonball.

It's a pity that the opposing goalkeeper has been prepared.

Gomez made a sideways pounce and blocked Oscar's shot out of the threat zone with both hands.

Chelsea missed another chance to score.

In the 72nd minute, Mourinho finally made a substitution.

Eden Hazard came off the bench and Nemanja Matic was substituted.

In fact, in this game, Matic's performance was not bad, but Mourinho had to replace him in order to strengthen the attack.

In the 78th minute, Chelsea had the best chance of the game.

Willem direct passes.

The ball is at the feet of Hazard.

Eden Hazard burst into the right side of the box with the ball and crossed back.

Ivan pushes from close range in front of the six-yard box.

The ball flies straight into the bottom right corner of the goal.

However, Gomez was not to be left behind José.

Just as the ball was about to cross the goal line, Gomez slid sideways and blocked Ivan's shot.

Once again, Chelsea missed out on the back of the net.

Three minutes later, Chelsea came close to opening the empty net.

Willian crosses from the right side of the box.

From 10 yards out, the unguarded Eden Hazard stopped the ball slightly wider and missed a great chance.

There was a sigh from the stands of the Chelsea fans.

In the 83rd minute, Chelsea laid siege to Watford.

Eden Hazard's cross from the left side of the box.

On the right side of the penalty area, Costa volleys in.

Unfortunately, he couldn't get the angle of his shot, and the ball went wide of the right side of the post.

Jose vaguely felt that this game would most likely end in a dull draw.

In the 88th minute, Chelsea were awarded another corner from the right.

A tactical corner kicks in and the ball goes to Willian.

Willian crosses from the right.

The ball is crossed into the box.

In the middle of the box, on the edge of the six-yard box, Costa headed the ball.

Direct header on goal.

The ball flies towards the top left of the goal.

Just as the Chelsea fans were about to celebrate, Gomez leaped to his feet and incredulously blocked the ball.

If a player has the confidence to win, then he can play extraordinarily.

Gomez is one such player.

In the final minutes, Watford dropped off in full.

Against Chelsea, they have come to terms with just one point at home.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Chelsea had to settle for a 0-0 draw.

In this game, Mourinho only made one substitution.

It's not that he doesn't want to change, it's that there is really no one to change.

Although the team failed to win, Jose successfully completed the task of releasing the system, and he also gained more than 2 million points at one time.

It's a big deal!

As a result, he now has nearly 4 million points.

He can redeem his possession talent once.

Is it just a talent on the ball, does it make a big difference to Jose?
