Ancelotti also used a 4-4-2 formation for this warm-up match.
Goalkeeper No. 22 Ross Turnbull.
Double central defender, captain John Terry, No. 26, partners with Brazilian central defender Alex, No. 33.
The left back is the long-famous No. 3 Ashley Cole.
The right back is No. 19 Paulo Ferreira.
The four midfielders are No. 8 "Magic Lamp" Lampard, No. 5 "Beast Waist" Essien, and No. 15 Malouda and No. 12 Mikel are on the left and right sides.
Double forwards No. 21 Salomon Kalu and No. 39 Anelka.
"Warcraft" Drogba could only watch the game on the bench due to injury.
The players from both sides shook hands, and Xiao Yu also had a smile on his face. Maybe he will fight with these people in the near future.
Xiao Yu looked at Drogba, known as "African Andy Lau", who was sitting on the bench, and paused for several seconds.
What Xiao Yu was thinking was that Drogba was considered a typical star of the Chinese Jinyuan Football Era, but Drogba was wondering if he had become handsome again.
As the senior who "there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome, only Kanter that cannot be overcome", Essien is stronger. At his peak, he could not only tackle and intercept, becoming a barrier in front of the defense, but also Play the ball quickly and get rid of the opponent's pressure.
In addition, he can go forward to grab points and has excellent long-range shooting skills. Therefore, defining Essien as a defensive midfielder is actually incomplete. He is a standard B2B midfielder.
It's just that there was Lampard in the Blues at that time, and Ballack later. To a certain extent, Essien made a certain amount of self-sacrifice.
Xiao Yu specially pulled Sim De Jong over and whispered something. What he had to face today was how to break through this "beast waist" and deliver artillery shells to Xiao Yu and Elham Daoy in front.
What Xiao Yu will face directly in this game is Blues captain John Terry and Paul Ferreira.
Before the start of the game, Xiao Yu also had a few words with Elham Daoy. As his original opponent, Elham Daoy was also very interested in Xiao Yu. After all, as a forward player, scoring goals means everything.
Although Elham Daoy is almost ten years older than Xiao Yu, he decided to serve as an assistant in this warm-up match to help Xiao Yu perform better. Years of experience have taught him that the most important thing on the court is to rely on team.
Beep! ~
The referee blows the whistle to start the game.
Ajax took the lead to kick off, and Elham Daoui firmly handed the football to Xiao Yu's feet, then bypassed Salomon Kalu and faced Lampard.
Xiao Yu did not have a one-stop plan at the beginning, and handed the football back to Emmanuellesson.
Emmanuelson continued to pass back to Dezeu, and Dezeu and the players on the back line communicated their intentions to pull Chelsea's line forward.
Sure enough, in the 2nd minute, De Zewu saw the right opportunity and found Xiao Yu with a long diagonal pass.
Xiao Yu looked at the ball and got rid of Ferreira's marker in two strides. He stopped the ball in the air with his left foot and then cut directly into Chelsea's penalty area.
Facing the blocking of Blues captain Terry, Xiao Yu remained calm and cut inward, but in fact he made a fake movement with his left and right feet. After pulling the ball with his right foot, when Terry's center of gravity shifted, he then used the toe of his left foot. With one flick, it looked like he was going to pass Terry.
But when Terry lost his center of gravity, he kicked the ground forcefully and continued to block it with his body.
Xiao Yu admired him in his heart. If the Chinese national football team had such spirit, it would not be a problem to enter the World Cup.
However, Xiao Yu did not complete the shot, but calmly chose to continue to move outwards, dodged Terry's body and gently pushed the football to Elham Daoy on the right.
I don’t know if Elham Daoy was too excited, or if he didn’t expect Xiao Yu to pass the football to him at all.
His body was a bit awkward when he shot, and he was unable to exert any strength, and was easily picked up by Chelsea substitute goalkeeper Turnbull.
The first shot of the game failed due to Turnbull's successful defense.
There is indeed a gap in control between the two teams. Although this Ajax team has just won the Europa League championship, it does not have much advantage against Chelsea.
The midfield formed by Essien, Malouda, Mikel and Lampard steadily controlled the game in the next 7 minutes, preventing Ajax from completing an easy breakthrough again. He made two useless long shots outside the penalty area.
However, in the 9th minute, Chelsea unexpectedly broke the deadlock with Lampard's long shot from the top of the penalty area.
This shot actually originated from Mikel's diagonal pass, and he accurately found Salomon Kalou in the penalty area.
Salomon Kalou and Anelka completed a wonderful one-two with tacit understanding, breaking the defense of the Belgian double stars, and Salomon Kalou completed the shot.
However, Stekelenberg performed well and saved the shot by leaping in to save the goal.
Unfortunately, this save failed to stop Chelsea's attack.
The ball bounced back to Lampard, who without hesitation swung his leg and volleyed the ball into the Ajax goal.
This shot was so powerful that Ajax's defenders could only look at the ball and sigh.
As a guest, Chelsea took a one-goal lead in less than ten minutes.
This goal also made many Chelsea players think that Ajax was just a paper tiger. In addition, it was originally a warm-up match before the new season, so they relaxed their concentration.
But Ajax didn't think so, especially Xiao Yu.
Ever since, in the 13th minute, Xiao Yu received a pass from Sim De Jong. He cleverly used the change of rhythm to easily pass Paulo Ferreira.
Then, he faced Terry alone, passed Terry with an unsolved cut, and then rushed directly into the heart of Chelsea's penalty area.
In the left rib area of the penalty area, about 12 yards away from the goal, he took a shot and hit a curve ball. The football passed through Turnbull's fingers and went directly into the far corner of the goal. The score was evened in less than 4 minutes.
Chelsea's players are also thinking that this conceding should be just an accident, as long as they can score a few more goals.
However, this conceding goal was like a crack, breaking the balance on the field.
Then, just four minutes later, in the 17th minute, Xiao Yu showed his amazing speed and agility.
He received Eriksen's pass and with his excellent speed advantage, he easily got rid of the defense of Terry and Ferreira.
Facing Turnbull, he did not stop. Instead, he speeded up again and skillfully passed the goalkeeper with a fake shot and a real dunk. Then he easily pushed into the empty goal and successfully overtook the score.
At this moment, the Chelsea players truly realized that Xiao Yu was serious and they could no longer continue to fish in troubled waters.
Although this is just a warm-up match, they cannot underestimate the enemy because of this, let alone let their performance be too embarrassing.
