If it weren't for set-pieces, Jose would never have been able to blast the ball that fast.

Without absolute ball speed, there is no chance of breaking through this Monaco defence.

In the end, Chelsea beat Monaco by a home goal.

Bayer Leverkusen drew 2-2 at home to CSKA Moscow due to another game in the group, with Chelsea temporarily top of the group with all three points.

After the game, Jose gave his teammates a small gift, that is, Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes.

As Chinese people work and live around the world, Chinese festivals have also become popular in a small range abroad, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Of course, you have to eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

To Jose's surprise, his teammates had a soft spot for the "five-kernel mooncakes" that netizens disliked the most, but they didn't have much interest in egg yolk and white lotus paste.

This situation once again confirms that each region has its own food culture, and different people have different preferences.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, José did not train with the team, but took a day off.

He was going to spend the holidays with his family.

The Premier League's fixture schedule is undoubtedly intense.

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the 5th round of the Premier League will continue.

Chelsea's clash with Liverpool was the first to take place.

Before the start of the game, some fans made predictions for this match.

"Come on Liverpool, there are 5 weak teams in the Premier League, Arsenal and Tottenham have already met, now Chelsea, then Manchester United and Manchester City, there are more than a dozen strong teams left to meet, this battle cannot be lost."

"Ruling the power of capital and supporting the common people, our army is heroic and upright, and this battle will be won."

It can be seen from the ridicule of fans that Liverpool this season has fallen into a strange circle, not falling behind at all when facing strong teams, but performing average when facing strong teams in the middle and lower reaches.

So no matter how strong Chelsea is, fans don't think Liverpool will lose in the slightest.

In terms of starting lists.

With John Terry out injured, Luiz partnered Cahill in central defence, with the details listed below.

Goalkeeper: Jose.

Defenders: Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill, Branislav Ivanovic.

Midfielders: N'Golo Kante, Nemanja Matic, Oscar.

Forwards: Eden Hazard, Diego Costa, Willian.

Cesc Fabregas, Pedro, Moses, Alonso, Michy Batshuayi and others sat on the bench at any time.

Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino is out injured, while Philippe Coutinho and Lovren return to the starting line-up, with the details as follows:

Goalkeeper: Mignolet.

Defenders: Milner, Lovren, Matip, Klein.

Midfielders: Wijnaldum, Jordan Henderson, Lallana.

Forwards: Sturridge, Coutinho, Sadio Mane.

Chelsea kick-off first.

However, it was Liverpool who took the lead with the first shot on goal.

Sadio Mane passes the ball and Sturridge shoots hard in front of the box.

Jose made a flying save and blocked the ball with both fists.

The ball was almost kicked into his own goal by the defending Luiz.

Thankfully, Jose made a timely second save to avoid conceding the opening goal.

David Luiz's ability and defensive attitude are completely fine, it's just that he underestimates Jose's ability and then tends to help him when he comes back.

Mourinho was willing to let him go back then, so he naturally considered it.

On that day, the club sold people, and the manager could only give opinions and had no decision, which is different from the fans' perception.

In the history of the Premier League, only Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have the right to decide on transfers.

Of course, in the future, Guardiola may be added.

Mourinho wants to make a transfer decision, which is unlikely to be possible at Chelsea.

Unlike other club owners, Abu personally invites players he likes, such as Shepchenko, Ballack, and Jose.

…

The game was a stalemate.

It's just that Liverpool, who are playing away, have a slight advantage.

Lallana and Sturridge both had shots blocked from the perimeter and Henderson's effort from the edge of the corner scuffled over the crossbar.

Chelsea's backline is solid.

Liverpool had a good chance to open the scoring in the 17th minute.

Philippe Coutinho crosses from the left.

Lovren, who was successful in the offside position, volleyed in the first time from the edge of the six-yard box.

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

Lovren's cushion shot was perfect and he was more than worthy of being judged as the best shot on goal.

It's a pity that he met José.

I saw Jose rush out quickly, then jumped up and blocked the ball in mid-air with one hand.

Liverpool missed the lead.

In the 19th minute, there was bloodshed on the field.

Liverpool take a corner.

Luis battled with Mane, only to have Luiz knocked out his nose by Mane.

In football, although most of the goalkeeper injuries are serious, in terms of injury probability, it is still lower than other positions.

Continued to be threatened by Liverpool's goal, Mourinho seemed very anxious.

Chelsea began to strengthen their attacking organisation against Liverpool.

Unfortunately, Nemanja Matic and Luiz had their shots blocked, and N'Golo Kante fired wide from distance. Willian's free-kick from the left was crossed and Luiz's header was also comfortably met by Mignolet.

In the 36th minute, Liverpool counterattacked.

Cahill cleared the ball hastily and the ball found its way to Henderson.

On the left side of the box, 30 yards away, Henderson took control of the ball and glanced up in the direction of the goal, where Jose was standing on the left side of the goal.

Jordan Henderson suddenly fired a powerful shot past the Chelsea defence and into the top right-hand corner of the goal.

World waves, absolute world waves.

If it was Jose before the evolution was complete, even if he used a plug-in, it would be absolutely impossible to block this shot.

Without any hesitation, José decisively used the plug-in.

He has to make sure the team doesn't fall behind.

In just one second, Jose moved six metres and lifted the ball off the line with one hand before it reached the goal line.

In order to save this shot, Jose almost did everything he could.

Jordan Henderson's kick woke Jose up, and although Jose's physicality has exceeded human limits, there are still threats to his shots in some special circumstances.

Stamford Bridge was in a frenzy and Jose was able to block a shot and the fans were happier than they were to score.

In contrast to Mourinho's serious face, Klopp is very passionate.

Playing away from home, for Liverpool, it can be said that there is no psychological pressure.

Chelsea were awarded a succession of corners, but Luiz and Ivan lacked headers from both the threat.

In the first half, the two sides played to a 0-0 draw.

The game was more intense than exciting, with the few highlights coming from Jose's three crucial saves.

Of course, if Jose fails to make a save, it will be a brilliant goal for Liverpool.

Just before half-time, Willian was given the first yellow card of the game.

Atkinson felt that William was disrespectful to the referee by questioning his decision.

Facts have once again proved that on the court, theorizing with the referee will only bring you all kinds of trouble.

I want to write about the protagonist scoring a goal.

The cool point of the save has been almost written.
