As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 222 First Red (for Subscription)

On August 8, the third round of the Premier League continued.

Defending champions Chelsea will face West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns.

I don't know when the sky started, it was raining lightly, and the temperature dropped to 17-18 degrees Celsius, which is considered a good temperature.

For this game, Chelsea is determined to win.

For the starting list, Mourinho thought for a long time.

It was finally decided to let Jose continue to start.

In addition to Jose, Pedro, who joined in the new season, also got the chance to start. This is also his Premier League debut.

Chelsea's specific starting lineup is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Jose.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Terry, Zouma, Ivan.

Double midfielder: Fabregas, Matic.

Attacking midfielders: Hazard, Willian, Pedro.

Center forward: Costa.

Courtois, Cahill, Mikel, Falcao and Zeke sat on the bench.

As for West Bromwich Albion, the head coach Pulis put up a 4141 formation, setting a record in team history Long Dong bought from Zenit entered the starting list.

The specific starting list is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Myhill.

Guards: Brent, Olsson, Macaulay, Craig Dawson.

Single midfielder: Jacob.

Attacking Midfield: Macklin, Fletcher, James Morrison, McManaman.

Center forward: Long Dong.

In addition, Gardner, Gnabry, and Lambert are also sitting on the bench.

In particular, the referee for this game is Clattenburg.

For Clattenburg, Mikel once shouted to his face that he would break his leg.

In fact, any team in the Premier League has players who want to break his legs.

Meeting such a referee, it is foreseeable that the game will definitely not be too peaceful.

[New task: Help the team to win without using "Time Pause", and the points reward will be doubled.Your current base points are 1000 points. 】

The moment Jose stepped onto the field, the system released the task on time.

A dull task, but one that spurs José to keep going.

At 13:30 local time, with Clattenburg's whistle, the game officially started.

Longdong kicked off from the center circle position, and West Bromwich Albion launched an attack from the right.

Dawson dribbled past Azpilicueta and kicked in a cross.

In the restricted area of ​​the Blue Army, Longdong and McLean have already outflanked them.

Jose paid close attention to the actions of Rondon and other West Brom players.

The ball flew over the penalty area in a blink of an eye.

Long Dong jumped up in the middle, but didn't touch the ball at all.

The ball, which no one touched, continued to fly to the left, and McLean was already waiting there.

Jose quickly moved to the left of the goal, ready to block the opponent's shot at any time.

Macklin chested the ball, but the ball bounced high and flew in the direction of Jose.

He stopped the ball too much.

Facing the sudden flying ball, Jose stretched out his hands and firmly caught the gift.

West Brom's first wave of offense was so hasty.

Jose takes a quick goal kick.

Pass the ball directly to Hazard.

Jose proved to people that his long ball, accuracy is absolutely reliable.

After Hazard got the ball, he advanced quickly.

Outside the penalty area on the opposite side, Hazard passed the ball.

After getting the ball, Costa forcibly turned and broke through to the left side of the penalty area.

From 11 yards in front of the goal, Costa kicked and shot into the far corner.

It's a pity that it missed.

The game slowly deepened from here.

In the 14th minute, West Bromwich Albion got their first penalty kick of the game.

McManaman broke through on the right side of the penalty area, first passing Azpilicueta, but when he wanted to continue to advance, he was tripped by Matic in the penalty area.

"Beep, beep~" Clattenburg's whistle sounded on time.

Chelsea are awarded a penalty.

For this penalty, everyone at Chelsea has no opinion.

With Jose's popularity growing, most players didn't want to face Jose on penalties, but James Morrison was vying for it.

Does he want to use Jose to become famous?After all, it is not an ordinary person who can break through Jose's ten fingers in a penalty kick.

Facing James Morrison, Jose was thinking about one thing, should he use "Time Pause"?After all, there is no cumulative multiplier now, and there is no loss if the mission fails.

"Forget it, let's talk about the situation." Jose decided.

James Morrison set up the ball, and then stepped back more than ten steps, he looked very confident.

Morrison starts with a run-up.

Jose's god-level prediction did not respond.

Morrison's run-up movement is unabashed, every step reveals that he is going to the left of the goal.

Seeing Morrison's action, most goalkeepers will gather their strength and prepare to pounce to the left side of the goal.

But Jose didn't. Unless the god-level prediction responds, he will wait for the opponent to touch the ball before making a save.

"Sure enough." When Morrison touched the ball, Jose saw through the opponent's disguise.

Morrison's real shooting direction is the center of the goal.

There was no need to use "Time-Space Pause" at all, Jose stayed still, his body bent sharply, and then he threw himself forward.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jose directly scored Morrison's shot.

"You" Morrison looked at Jose in disbelief. He thought his feint was perfect, and he tried it repeatedly during training. Why did it lose its effect when he came to Jose?

Jose smiled slightly, didn't stay for a moment, and directly kicked the goal kick with his big foot.

At this time, most of the players on both sides are surrounded outside the Chelsea penalty area, which is definitely a good opportunity for a quick counterattack.

Jose accurately sent the ball to Hazard's feet.

After Hazard got the ball, he advanced quickly, and Pedro on the other side followed at the same time.

Hazard passed the ball to Pedro and then ran, attracting West Brom's defense.

From the edge of the penalty area, Pedro kicked and shot.

Wear crotch ball.

The ball shot by Pedro passed through Alesson's crotch, and then rolled towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

The goal is scored, 1 to 0.

From Jose's goal kick to Pedro's goal, the whole process took 11 seconds.

Such an efficient attack made all Chelsea fans excited, and they chanted: "See, Manchester?"

Pedro, like Jose, was infinitely close to joining Manchester United, but in the end they failed to make the trip.

The game goes on and the goals go on.

In the 30th minute, William countered with an oblique pass, and the ball went to Pedro's feet.

On the right side of the penalty area, Pedro had a chance to hit the goal, but he chose to pass it to Costa, who was in a better position.

Costa received a pass from Pedro and directly tackled the empty goal.

Myhill is not Jose. When he decided to attack and block Pedro, he was doomed to lose the goal.

2:0.

Mourinho looked extremely happy standing on the sidelines.

The game continues.

The lagging West Brom strengthened the interception and counterattack.

In the 35th minute, Fabregas made a pass error and the ball was taken by the opponent.

West Brom quickly counterattacked.

McCree made a cross from the left, is he powerful?

The ball flew past the goal and to the other side of the penalty area.

Longdong received the pass from McCree without any adjustments, and directly passed the ball upside down to the middle.

From 15 yards in front of the goal, Morrison shot directly.

This wave of West Brom's offensive cooperation can be described as exquisite.

Faced with such cooperation, it is completely normal for defenders and goalkeepers to be unable to react.

Therefore, Zuma and Terry failed to complete the interception, which is not surprising at all.

It is a pity that Jose is the goalkeeper today.

For Morrison's shot, Jose's god-level prediction responded.

Therefore, he easily confiscated the opponent's shot directly.

In the 42nd minute, Chelsea once again expanded their advantage.

Fabregas picks a pass.

Diego Costa's chest stopped by McCauley's defense.

Azpilicueta shoots low to the bottom left corner from the edge of the box.

The ball was scored again, 3 to 0.

In the first half, Mourinho's team had already led by three goals. Does it indicate that the second half will enter garbage time?

Chelsea fans were very optimistic about it at half-time.

It's just about football, you never know what's going to happen until the last minute.

In the second half, the two sides exchanged venues.

Mourinho instructed the team to retreat a little and try to defend well.

In the 54th minute, the situation on the field changed suddenly.

West Brom fight back.

Brent made a direct pass and the ball reached Longdong's feet.

Outside the edge of the penalty area, Long Dong fell under the defense of Terry.

It was Clattenburg's time to steal the spotlight as he sent off the Chelsea captain.

Statistics show that this is the first time Terry has been sent off in the Premier League since April 2010.

At that time, Jose was still worrying about not being able to control the ball.

Mourinho smiled helplessly on the sidelines.

Cahill replaces Willian.

Jose immediately organized the human wall.

With the help of God's perspective, Jose's human wall, unless he is a free kick expert like him, there is no way to break through Chelsea's human wall.

Long Dong took a free kick, but he really couldn't pass the wall that Jose put out.

Subsequently, Chelsea also got a direct free kick, but Matic's shot was directly saved by Myhill.

Hit one more player, and West Brom's momentum is like a rainbow.

In terms of offensive statistics, they are not inferior to Chelsea.

In the 59th minute, West Brom finally had a harvest.

McManaman makes a cross from the left.

With his back to goal, Morrison headed back from 10 yards.

Jose secretly shouted that it was not good, the opponent's header was definitely not easy.

Jose was hesitating whether to use a plug-in, and then attacked to win, but after thinking about it, he had already led by 3 goals and only conceded one goal and was still within control.

Jose resisted the urge to use cheats.

Jose's premonition was correct, the ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar in the upper right corner, and bounced into the net.

1 to 3, West Brom recovered a goal.

For this conceded goal, no one can blame Jose.

It can almost be said that such a goal may not be encountered a second time in the five major leagues in one year.

Kick-off in the middle circle, Chelsea organized an attack, but unfortunately they could not threaten the opponent.

Similarly, West Brom's counterattack failed to threaten the goal guarded by Jose.

Although both sides shot a lot, most of them deviated from the direction of the goal.

In the 84th minute, Mourinho used up the last substitution adjustment.

Mikel came off the bench and replaced goal hero Pedro.

Chelsea fans gave Pedro a warm applause.

It is difficult for Jose to enjoy the applause of being replaced at halftime.

With 5 minutes of stoppage time, West Brom finally gave it a go.

In the 91st minute, McManaman made a cross from the wing.

Cahill barely blocks the ball with his chest.

The ball did not roll far, and finally fell in front of Long Dong.
