Despite this, Chelsea still firmly controlled the tempo of the game, and Ancelotti looked very relaxed on the sidelines.
In the 13th minute, Zhirkov won a free kick opportunity on the left side of the front court.
However, Malouda's shot went over the crossbar, making all Chelsea players excited for nothing.
Youngster Bruma partnered with Terry, and the two showed a rare tacit understanding. It can be said that youngster Bruma's performance was very calm.
In the 21st minute, Kalu used his speed to successfully break through on the right and passed to Anelka.
Unfortunately, Anelka failed to seize the opportunity this time and missed the ball.
In the 22nd minute, Malouda once again launched an attack on the left, and his cross found Kalu at the far point.
However, Kalu failed to seize the opportunity this time and missed the ball again.
Despite this, Chelsea's young players remained calm and continued to look for opportunities on the field.
In the 25th minute, Frankfurt's players showed their luck.
Terry found Hilario with a backpass in the backcourt, but the goalkeeper made a poor mistake, allowing Frankfurt forward Oakes to easily break through his defense and shoot the ball into the empty net.
It was a mistake that shouldn't have happened, but that's the way football is, sometimes luck comes in unexpected places.
In the 30th minute, Oaks made a pass from the right and created a chance for Jekas to shoot an overhead kick.
However, Hilario showed his bravery at this critical moment. He successfully saved Jekas' shot and kept the team's goal.
However, this wasn't his only outstanding performance of the game.
In the next game, Hilario saved consecutive shots from Yekas and Oaks.
His performance allowed people to see his experience and strength in the goalkeeper position.
He has shown a very high level both when handling the ball and when confronting the opponent's attack.
In the 34th minute, Malouda was given a yellow card for a handball foul.
This requires him to pay more attention to his actions in the next game to avoid committing another foul.
In the 38th minute, Kalu successfully countered offside on the wing, but his pass lacked enough threat and failed to create much threat to the opponent.
In the 45th minute, Amanatidis almost scored with a shot from the edge of the penalty area.

Van Aanholt then attempted a curling shot from 20 yards out, but it went slightly over the crossbar.
In the end, Frankfurt won the friendly match 2:1 Chelsea at Frankfurt's home stadium, the Commerzbank Arena.
Two consecutive losses in friendly matches was not good news for Ancelotti. Abramovich also made a long phone call to Ancelotti after the game.
If we say that the one in Amsterdam was due to Xiao Yu's incredible performance, then this one was purely because Chelsea was out of form, and there were big problems in every line.
There was a game against Hamburg three days later. Ancelotti did not choose to return to London, but took the bus directly to Hamburg with the team. The entire four and a half hour drive made the players full of complaints.
At 6 pm on August 4, Chelsea will play the last friendly match before the start of the season against Hamburg at the Nordbank Arena.
In the past two days, Hamburg also generously provided training venues for Chelsea, and also moved its team's training to other venues to avoid suspicion.
Although Xiao Yu has no competition duties, Zahavi did not let him be completely idle. He also shot several advertisements in Germany.
During this period, it was finalized that Huawei would buy Chelsea’s jersey chest advertisements for three years, and WeChat also bought the courtside billboards at Stamford Bridge.
What surprised Xiao Yu was that Pepsi found Zahavi again. Xiao Yu had previously rejected Coca-Cola and said that he did not drink carbonated drinks and did not want to endorse carbonated drinks.
But this time, Pepsi has come up with a mineral water, and the conditions given are attractive enough. The endorsement fee is 6 million euros, and the contract will be signed for three consecutive years.
Xiao Yu also chose to agree under Zahavi's persuasion.
This time Xiao Yu moved to Chelsea. As Chelsea's current main jersey sponsor, Adidas is also going to develop the second generation of the "LOONG" series for Xiao Yu, a new color matching that is more suitable for Chelsea.
Xiao Yu readily agreed to this.
The day of the warm-up match soon arrived.
Ancelotti still maintained the 4-3-3 formation.
Because Hilario made a low-level mistake against Frankfurt, the goalkeeper once again chose teenager No. 22 Ross Turnbull.
The back four consists of Ashley Cole, John Terry, Ivanovic and Paulo Ferreira.
Midfield three of Essien, Lampard and Mikel.
Forwards Kalu, Anelka, Malouda.
With most of the main players already playing, Ancelotti still wants to win a victory in the preseason.
And the opponent was the Hamburg team that was defeated by Ajax away from home.
Hamburg's starting lineup today is also 4-3-3.
When goalkeeper Rost came on the field, he specifically looked at Xiao Yu who was standing on the sidelines. The memory of him scoring 4 goals in the Europa League was still deeply etched in his mind.
Defenders Demel, Westerman, Tescher, Dickmeier.
Midfielders Ze Roberto, Yarolim, Pietruvapa.
Forwards Petrich, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Guerrero.
And when playing against Ajax, that is, Matteisson and Ogo on the back line were injured and missed the game.
And Xiao Yu also saw an Asian face in the Hamburg formation.
He was also very happy. He didn't expect to meet the first Asian brother from his previous life so soon.
