The ball flew straight into the far corner of the goal.

I have to say that Raymond's shot was very beautiful, and if Courtois was on the pitch at this time, Raymond would have scored a goal this time.

Unfortunately, Raymond met Jose.

Jose didn't use the plug-in and had a two-goal lead, and he decided to challenge his abilities.

I saw Jose quickly open his arms and expand the interception area as much as possible.

Thanks to José's efforts, he finally got his hands on the ball.

Even if it was just a touch of the palm of the right hand, it was enough to change the opponent's shooting route.

Eventually, the ball flew off the left side of the goal.

Just before the break, Norwich City had another corner.

Chelsea fans were not in the least worried about Norwich's winning another corner.

The home team is already two goals ahead, and Norwich City scores or not, it doesn't affect the outcome.

For fans, such a game should be the most comfortable.

It's just that Mourinho's team, in the past games, it is difficult to see such a situation.

Jose Mourinho's team, unless it is far superior to its opponent, is likely to be crushed, otherwise it is easy to be pressed by the opponent after a one-goal lead.

It is true that Mourinho's team defensively is excellent, but as a fan, as the owner of the club, Abou, he would definitely prefer to see the team press the opposition and then win the game cleanly.

Because of this, Mourinho's team will inevitably be linked to dismissal once they can't win.

Grades and good looks, there must always be one, right?

But since the new year, Mourinho has changed and become more adventurous.

First, he gave up the 4231 lineup that had lasted for more than a decade.

Secondly, in the face of media reporters, Mourinho's speech has become low-key.

Finally, and most importantly, he put away all his edges.

Of course, one thing that hasn't changed about Mourinho is that he still pays attention to detail.

Norwich's corner.

I wanted to pass it to a far point, but unfortunately the flight height of the ball was far from enough for Jose.

It was confiscated by José directly from mid-air.

Thanks to the system's reward gloves, the ball will generate a strong suction force when it comes into contact with the glove, so the possibility of getting out of your hands is very small.

In the end, Chelsea won 2-0 away at Norwich.

A 2-0 win over two consecutive games seemed to put Chelsea back at the top.

But Jose knows that his teammates' fitness and form are extremely depleted.

Chelsea face three crucial fixtures over the next 10 days.

The first is a league home game against Stoke City.

Stoke City have a tough style of play, and although Chelsea have a dominant history in the past, it does not mean that they will be able to win the next game.

This will be followed by the second leg at home to Paris in midweek.

Although Chelsea have an away goal advantage, it is hard to say whether they can withstand their attack and are in good form these days.

Finally, there is the FA Cup match against Everton.

If it is a home game against Everton, with the advantage of the home field, even if the game is difficult, there is still a high probability of qualifying.

However, the draw resulted in Chelsea travelling to Liverpool's Goodison Park to take on Everton.

Before the game against Stoke City, a group of uninvited guests came to Jose's house.

To be precise, this is a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers who came out of Huaxia.

Naturally, they all came to participate in the trials of the major youth academies.

In order to thank Jose for the opportunity they won for them, accompanied by their parents, they brought specialties from all over China, mainly various teas, such as Pu'er, Longjing, Tieguanyin, and Dahongpao.

Jose accepted their gift and returned the favor with a training plan that would fit most people.

In addition, José has repeatedly stressed that he should not give up his studies and that he could skip college, but he must finish high school.

Naturally, these young people would not fail to listen to José's teachings, and in their hearts, José was already an idol.

This time, there are hundreds of young players who came out of China, but I don't know how many of them can become talents.

Before you know it, it's weekend again.

On Saturday 5 March, at 23:00 (15:00 local time in the UK), the 29th round of the 15/16 Premier League season will be contested at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea hosting Stoke City.

For this game, it is widely believed that Chelsea can win by at least two goals.

Chelsea's record shows that Chelsea have lost just two of their last 19 games against Stoke City, winning 14 and drawing three of their remaining 17 games. The last 9 home games against Stoke City have won all, and the last 11 league home games against Stoke City have won 8 wins and 3 draws.

Stoke City's last away win against Chelsea was in the 1995 Carabao Cup, with an away win in the league going back to 1974.

Chelsea's all-time record is so good that Spinach even set a one-goal handicap for this game.

Everyone is favoured with a big Chelsea win and they seem to have forgotten that Stoke City are now eighth, one place above Liverpool.

In terms of the starting line-ups of both sides.

The main change to Chelsea's squad from the previous game was the failure of Diego Costa to be in the squad, with Bertrand Traore coming in for him.

The specific list is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Jose.

Defenders: Cesar Azpilicueta, Cahill, Stones, Branislav Ivanovic.

Midfielders: Mikel, Nemanja Matic, Oscar.

Forwards: Eden Hazard, Bertrand Traore, Willian.

Zike, Remy, Cesc Fabregas, Pato, Thibaut Courtois and others were on the bench.

As for Stoke City, Manchester United veteran Diouf is a lone striker who will be Jose's main opponent in this game.

Chelsea kick off first in the centre circle.

Unfortunately, it was not possible to form a shot.

Stoke City's counter-attacking chances.

In front of the penalty area, former Barcelona winger Afelai suddenly got up and hit the goal after receiving the ball.

Cahill flew to block.

The ball deflected as soon as it touched Cahill.

However, as if he had expected it, José appeared just in the path of the deflected ball.

Jose easily confiscated the opposition's shot.

Unexpectedly, Stoke City took the lead with the first shot on goal of the game.

A minute later, Chelsea counter-attacked quickly.

Fabres played a long ball in midfield and the ball reached Ivan on the flank.

Ivan volleys in a cross from the right and the ball goes straight to the six-yard box.

A dangerous first pass.

Unfortunately, Traore couldn't keep up in time and the ball slid past goal and was eventually picked up by a Stoke player.

Mikel then fired a long-range shot from outside the box, but it went wide.

The goal against Grand Paris gave Mikel more desire to shoot, but his shooting skills were really average.

In the 14th minute, Cesar Azpilicueta crossed from the left and the ball went straight into the box.

In the middle of the penalty area, 10 yards in front of goal, Oscar headed it over.

Unfortunately, the angle of the attack was too right, and it was easily confiscated by potter goalkeeper Bertrand.

In the 17th minute, Cesar Azpilicueta sent in the same cross again.

On the left side of the penalty area, Oscar wins the ball and shoots low into the far corner.

The result was again confiscated by Bertrand.

In the first ten minutes, the Stoke City goalkeeper had more opportunities to perform.

In the 18th minute, Stoke City counter-attacked on the wing.

Diouf passes.

Afelé won the ball and broke through to 25 yards on the left and suddenly fired a powerful shot.

The ball flew towards the right side of the goal at great speed.

However, there is no threat to José at all.

I saw him pounce forward and take Afelai's long-range shot tightly with both hands.

Three minutes later, Stoke had another chance to counter-attack.

Afelai crosses with the outside of his foot from the left.

In front of the small penalty area, the unmarked Diouf rushed out quickly and grabbed the opportunity to face Jose alone.

José shouted, and was about to strike.

As soon as Jose drank it, Diouf's mind immediately went into a trance.

Hurriedly got up the footpad to shoot, but in the case of ultra-close range, it missed.

It also proves that Diouf does not have the mental strength of Ibrahimovic at all, and Manchester United made the right choice to give him up.

In the 27th minute, it was Chelsea's turn to fight back.

Azpilicueta made a successful steal in front of the court and passed to Willian as soon as he got the ball.

From beyond the arc, Willian fired a powerful left-footed shot.

It's a pity that it missed.

The ball grazed the left post and went out of the baseline.

Hazard and Oscar then sent in quick succession of brilliant passes.

However, Traore and Willian both had shots blocked in the box.

In the first half hour, although there were many chances for both sides, there were not many really threatening shots on goal.

In the 36th minute, Stoke City counterattacked.

Shaqiri crosses from the right.

At this point, there was another leak in Chelsea's back, and Diouf was once again unguarded against him.

In the middle of the penalty area, 10 yards in front of goal, the unguarded Diouf volleyed.

Again, the results are out of the way.

Facing Jose, Diouf always wanted to avoid Jose and hit the goal, but he could only miss again and again.

It can't be helped, José put too much pressure on Diouf.

With 28 league games to play and Chelsea conceding just seven goals, any goalscorer facing Jose will inevitably feel the pressure.

In the 39th minute, Chelsea were the first to break the deadlock.

Nemanja Matic passes the ball and it gets to Traore.

Traore picked up the ball from outside the box, adjusted slightly, and suddenly fired a powerful left-footed shot.

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

Bertrand made a flying save, but couldn't touch the ball at all.

Chelsea are 1-0 up.

I have to say that Traore's long-range shot is still very level.

I just don't know if he can continue to perform like this.

The score remained 1-0 until the end of the first half.

In the second half, the game continued.

Stoke City took the lead in attacking.

In the 48th minute, Stoke City's push was remarkable.

Camron passes.

The ball reached Arnautovic's feet.

On the edge of the box, Arnautovic fired a powerful right-footed volley.

The ball was so fast that Jose made a save, keeping it out with both hands.

The ball didn't fly out of the box and was snatched by Camron for the second spot.

From 12 yards out, Camron headed in from the spot.

Seeing the ball fly towards the goal again, in desperation, Jose actually bounced on the spot, and then pounced on the ball again.

Luckily, Jose single-handedly blocked Camron's follow-up shot.

Jose made two miraculous saves in a row to resolve the goalmouth crisis.
