Lampard stood at the penalty spot with a firm look in his eyes, took a deep breath, adjusted his steps, and then pushed the ball to the lower right corner with all his strength.
However, Stoke City goalkeeper Sorensen predicted his prediction in advance and accurately blocked his inevitable goal.
Xiao Yu, who rushed into the penalty area first, wanted to complete a follow-up shot, but the football was blown away by Shawcross like a tank.
"Hey! This ball..."
"Sorensen's performance was great. To be honest, Lampard's penalty kick was no problem. It was a shot from the lower right corner, but it was still blocked by Sorensen."
"It's really better to let Xiao Yu take the penalty kick. His penalty kick scoring rate is still 100%."
"It doesn't matter if Xiao Yu is not allowed to make a free throw. Sorensen's save on this ball is really beautiful. If Xiao Yu doesn't make a free throw, wouldn't he break his 100% scoring rate?"
Lampard, who missed the penalty kick, was very upset at this time, but as a core player on the field, he must adjust to his condition as soon as possible.
Passing by Xiao Yu, Lampard was a little embarrassed and quickly ran back to the midfield with his head lowered.
In fact, it was nothing to Xiao Yu, it was just a penalty kick. If he continued to charge, he would still have a chance.
It was too late, but it was too late, because Shawcross' big-footed clearance just now went out of the sideline, and Chelsea also quickly threw the throw-in.
Ashley Cole's strong force threw the football towards Xiao Yu who was at the edge of the opponent's penalty area.
Facing the incoming ball, Xiao Yu also lived up to expectations by stopping the ball with his chest and winning it firmly.
In fact, at first Xiao Yu wanted to do a half-turn volley like Ronaldo, but Shawcross and Huter were already fully armed like two goalkeepers, blocking his turning space.
Xiao Yu had no choice but to find his teammates to cooperate and seek a breakthrough.
Drogba, the "African Andy Lau" who had been at the forefront, chose to retreat to meet Xiao Yu.
The communication between two top "killers" only requires a look.
Xiao Yu immediately passed the football horizontally in a small area to Drogba on the further right. Taking advantage of Shawcross's distraction to block the football, Xiao Yu prepared to complete a turn and breakthrough, and completed a one-two with Drogba to enter the penalty area again. .
Drogba also plays the ball very quickly, and Xiao Yu only needs to rush into the penalty area to complete the shot.
But Hu Te, who was by Xiao Yu's side, did not let Xiao Yu's plan go smoothly.
When Xiao Yu passed by him, he chose to grab Xiao Yu's jersey tightly with both hands.
The referee Atkinson came up and awarded Chelsea a free kick 26 meters away from the goal. Huth was only given a stern verbal warning.
Drogba and Xiao Yu stood in front of the football, covering their mouths and discussing something.
Following referee Atkinson's whistle, Xiao Yu took the lead in starting.
Seeing that Xiao Yu had already raised his right leg, someone on the wall of Stoke City jumped up.
But Xiao Yu's next step was to step over the football and rush behind the wall.
Then Drogba had completed the penalty.
With a muffled sound of "Bang!", Drogba's powerful volley of football cut through the air at Stamford Bridge like a cannonball and flew straight to Stoke City's goal.
However, Sorensen in front of the goal seemed to have predicted Chelsea's plan again. He clenched his fists and hit Drogba's shot accurately with both fists.
However, Sorensen, who was about to fall to the ground, suddenly stood up all over his body. He watched helplessly as a blue figure appeared, completed a leg swing, and shot!
"The ball went in!"
"Xiao Yu! In the 15th minute, he broke the deadlock on the field!"
"Sorensen's performance in this goal is actually good enough. Xiao Yu and Drogba's free kick cooperation has deceived some Stoke City defenders. Drogba's shot is also powerful and heavy. Sorensen also chose the best way to hit the football with both fists."
"But this time Xiao Yu predicted Sorensen's prediction. When Drogba's shot was hit by Sorensen, Xiao Yu, who was near the wall, started like an arrow. He finished it in just one breath. A goal like this leaves Sorensen with nothing to do.”
"We saw Pulis on the sidelines shaking his head repeatedly. It seemed that he had no good way to deal with such a follow-up shot."
"We congratulate Chelsea, leading 1:0 in 15 minutes!"
After scoring, before Xiao Yu could rush to the sideline, he was lifted high by Drogba who rushed over. With the participation of Anelka, Xiao Yu was carried on his shoulders.
Although Xiao Yu was startled, he adapted in time, opened his arms, and looked around the audience. At this moment, he was the king of Stamford Bridge!
After this goal, Pulis became more determined to defend Xiao Yu strictly, and even called Whitehead and Delap back, ordering them and Huth to stare at Xiao Yu.
As a result, Xiao Yu's activities were greatly restricted, but they seemed to have forgotten that there was still a very threatening player on the left side of the Blues - England's number one left back Ashley Cole.
In the 20th minute, Ashley Cole got the ball on the left. Because Xiao Yu took Delap and Whitehead away, he easily took the ball all the way to the front court, and after a slight adjustment, he accurately passed the ball to the front point. .
Essien jumped up in front of the goal and hit the goal with his head, but unfortunately the football was slightly over the crossbar.
At this moment, the audience's hearts were in their throats. If the ball was scored, Chelsea would be expected to expand its lead.
In the 30th minute, Xiao Yu had another chance.
On a corner kick, Ashley Cole's corner kick was cleared out of the penalty area by Stoke City's center back Faye.
Terry got the ball outside the penalty area. He passed the ball cleverly in front of the penalty area. Xiao Yu understood it and he quickly penetrated from behind Shawcross and Huth like a cheetah.
When they saw Xiao Yu again, he had calmly completed a push shot in the penalty area. The football seemed to have eyes and accurately flew into the goal guarded by Sorensen.
Faced with this shot, Sorensen was helpless.
"Xiao Yu! Scored again! Scored twice!"
"This is the third time Xiao Yu has scored twice since coming to England."
"There is nothing Sorensen can do about this ball. Xiao Yu is too fast, the shot is too close, the ball is fast and the angle is tricky. Even if it is Casillas, it will be difficult to defend."
"We congratulate Xiao Yu for scoring his sixth Premier League goal and continuing to lead the scorer list!"
The cheers instantly flooded the stadium, and Chelsea fans wildly celebrated this precious goal.
Xiao Yu ran to the sidelines ecstatically and hugged his teammates.
This is his sixth goal of the season and another important moment for Chelsea.
