As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 287 Relegation and Championship

The 15/16 season has come to an end.

Chelsea have four games left to play.

Among them, the Champions League final is scheduled on the 28th, so there is no need to consider it for the time being.

At present, we need to pay attention to the remaining 3 league games, including the away game against Sunderland in the 37th round, the make-up match with Liverpool in the 30th round, and the final round of the championship battle with Leicester City.

At present, Chelsea and Leicester City have the same points, but the goal difference is much higher than the opponent, so they rank first.

If Chelsea can win the two games against Sunderland and Liverpool, then in the last round against Leicester City, as long as they don't lose more than 15 goals, Chelsea can successfully defend their title.

Wang Churan and the others haven't come out of China yet, and the weekend's Premier League games will continue.

华夏时间5月7日22:00(英国当地时间15:00)，英超15/16赛季第37轮，切尔西与桑德兰的焦点战在光明球场展开争夺。

Before the start of the game, Chelsea and Leicester City had the same points and ranked first with a goal difference advantage.

Sunderland ranked 35th with 17 points, only 1 point higher than the relegation zone. If Sunderland wants to successfully relegation, this battle must not be lost.

The starting rosters of both sides have been announced before the start of the game.

For Chelsea, compared with the game against Bayern in the middle of the week, there is only one personnel transfer. Mikel rotates Pedro into the starting lineup.

Pato continued to enter the squad, and he was expected by the fans, but it was actually difficult for him to meet the team's playing requirements.

Kick-off from Chelsea's center circle.

Surprisingly, Chelsea lost possession as soon as they took the ball.

Sunderland took the initiative to attack.

In the opening stage, the Chelsea players seemed a little uncomfortable facing the aggressive pressing of the Sunderland players.

In the 45th second, Defoe took the ball and prepared to break through.

Stones flew to press and tripped him with his foot out.

In less than 1 minute, Stones got the first yellow card of the game.

Sunderland's free kick was directly blocked by Chelsea players.

Chelsea quickly regained control of the rhythm.

In the 10th minute, Hazard made a pass from the left side of the penalty area.

After William got the ball, he took a low shot and the ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal.

But Willian's low shot was easily won by Mannone.

It was the first shot on goal of the game.

Mannone takes the goal kick.

The two sides once again competed for the ball in the midfield.

Chelsea took the lead in the 14th minute.

Stones stabbed a pass from the left side of the penalty area, but it hit Yedlin's leg and was deflected.

Diego Costa got the ball from the left side of the penalty area and shot into the lower right corner from a small angle.

Chelsea lead 1-0.

This is Costa's 12th league goal this season.

Then Catmull made a long pass, and Defoe's offside header hit the right post.

Ex-Chelsea full-back Van Aanholt passes the ball and M'Vila shoots over from 20 yards.

Sunderland's offense was very active, but there was never a chance to threaten Jose.

In the 26th minute, Sunderland's efforts finally paid off.

Defoe made a pass from the left side of the penalty area.

Yedlin's header from the edge of the six-yard box.

The ball flew straight below the goal.

Jose stooped to easily block the opponent's shot.

Sunderland failed to equalize.

The game continues.

Sunderland defensive omissions frequently.

Chelsea got many chances to kick in front of the goal.

In the 39th minute, Azpilicueta shot from a small angle on the left side of the small penalty area.

The ball flew straight over the goal.

Unfortunately, it was blocked by Mannone.

In the 41st minute, Sunderland made a cross from the left rib.

Near the arc island, players from both sides competed for the top one after another.

Stones headed the ball to make a clearance.

The ball flew to the left front of the penalty area.

Hazri of Sunderland volleys the ball.

The ball turned into a high-speed shell and flew straight to the upper right of the goal.

Test data showed that the speed of Hazri's shot had exceeded 150 mph.

In the face of absolute speed, sometimes no skill is required, and it can become the greatest threat.

Faced with such a high-speed shot, Jose did not hesitate to use "time and space pause".

With little danger, Jose blocked Hazri's shot with both fists.

The game continues.

Chelsea continued to attack.

The final minute of half-time stoppage time.

Matic midfielder launched a counterattack.

Xiaofa made a diagonal pass to the left.

Hazard competed for the top and failed to reach the ball, but at the same time deceived the opposing player.

Azpilicueta got the ball from the left and went straight to the left side of the opponent's penalty area.

Matic quickly sprinted out and got the ball.

At 12 yards from the left rib of the penalty area, Matic pushed Mannone calmly.

Wear crotch ball.

The ball passed under Mannone and rolled into the net.

Chelsea led 2-0 at halftime.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Chelsea adjusted their tactics slightly and began to focus on counterattacks.

In the 49th minute, Hazard made a direct pass.

12 yards inside the penalty area, Diego Costa hit the goal with his right foot.

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

It's a pity that the angle was not opened, and it was won by Mannone after falling to the ground.

Sunderland is aggressive in attacking and has even more chances to shoot than Chelsea.

It's just that they encountered Jose, so they were still unable to score.

In the 61st minute, Xiaofa cooperated with Hazard to pass the ball from the left, attracting most of the Sunderland players to intercept.

Xiaofa crossed the right side of the restricted area.

Unguarded Diego Costa gets the ball in front of the penalty area.

However, he did not volley the first time, which gave Mannone enough time to react.

Chelsea missed their chance.

In the 67th minute, Chelsea's defense made consecutive mistakes.

Ivan, who was supposed to guard the right, disappeared.

Van Aanholt crossed from the left without defense.

The ball passed through the crowd and arrived at the feet of Borini on the right side of the arc.

The unguarded Borini stopped the ball and broke into the penalty area by the way, and shot with his right foot before Matic approached.

Jose is ready to attack and block, but Terry blocks in front of Jose.

The ball hit Terry's calf and deflected to the lower left corner of the goal.

Successive changes have caught people off guard.

There was no other way, Jose had to use "Time Pause" again.

This is already the second time Jose has used a cheat in this field, and it was nothing more than facing Bayern in the middle of the week.

If Chelsea's defense doesn't improve next season, Jose really doesn't want to play with them anymore. It's really tiring to carry a defense alone.

Surprisingly, Jose once again confiscated the opponent's shot.

After 1 minute, Mourinho immediately made a substitution.

Baba Rahman came off the bench, and Ivanovic, who was out of position just now, was replaced.

This season, Ivan has completely become a nerve knife. When he performs well, he is very stable, but once he makes a mistake, it is a fatal mistake.

In the 69th minute, Yedlin made a cross from the right.

Mikel's ineffective interception and clearance caused the ball to deflect slightly.

The ball fell to Defoe's feet.

From 14 yards in front of the goal, Azpilicueta flew forward to intercept Defoe, but he was slow.

Defoe calmly stopped the ball and shot with his right foot, and the ball flew towards the lower left corner of the goal.

The ball is fast and threatening.

Fortunately, Jose was prepared and blocked the ball after falling to the ground.

In the 87th minute, Terry and Kabul had a dispute, and the two received a yellow card at the same time.

One minute later, William hit the goal with a direct free kick on the right side of the arc.

The ball flew around the wall and flew to the upper left corner.

It's a pity that Mannone was pushed out of the top of the crossbar.

In 4 minutes of stoppage time, Sunderland did not give up the opportunity to attack.

In the 94th minute, Defoe stopped the ball in midfield.

Terry flew behind his back with a shovel and brought Defoe down directly.

Very unnecessary foul play.

The two fell to the ground at the same time.

"Beep, beep~" The referee immediately blew the foul whistle.

Two yellows turn one red.

In the final stage, Terry was sent off with a red card.

When he walked off the court, Terry was expressionless, and no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

Because of Terry's red card, Chelsea have accumulated five red cards this season. Among the 5 teams in the Premier League, the number of red cards is only less than Southampton's six.

5 red cards in a single season, which is also the season with the most red cards in the past 5 seasons.

In the end, Chelsea beat Sunderland 2-0 away.

As relegation rivals Newcastle United and Norwich both failed to win, Sunderland still ranked 17th after the loss.

As for Chelsea's rival Leicester City, they beat Everton 3-1 at home.

Vardy scored in the opening five minutes, and then Andy King extended the victory.

On the 65th point of the second half, Vardy created a penalty kick and scored it himself, securing the victory early.

In the 72nd minute, Leicester City got another penalty kick. Vardy kicked the penalty kick and missed the hat-trick opportunity.

Before the end, Miralas scored a face-saving goal for Everton.

After this round of competition, Chelsea and Leicester City still have the same points, but Chelsea have one game less.

With the fierce competition for the championship, the fans also had a heated discussion about the ownership of the championship.

Unexpectedly, the number of fans who supported Leicester City's championship was far greater than the number of fans who supported Chelsea's championship.

I don't know when it started, a large number of Leicester City fans for 30 years appeared on the Internet.

For these Leicester City fans who popped up suddenly, the local Leicester City fans said they didn't know any of them.

Of course, the fans support Leicester City to win the championship, and naturally hope that the civilian counterattack can become a reality.

Don't you see that those wealthy teams can easily recruit all kinds of top players relying on their own status and financial ability, so that those mid-level teams can only send them the talents they cultivated in order to survive.

The fans hope that Leicester City can be the one that breaks the monopoly of the giants.
