But Mikel's pass always failed to get past Stoke City's defense. Anelka, who was in front, shook his arm angrily on the right. His face was full of unwillingness and disappointment. He was already in his thirties. As he gets older, he needs more results to prove his value, because the club is not a place where people care about people, and investors all want results.
Stoke City's side was even more miserable. Whelan, who had just debuted, held his head in his hands and sat on the grass, breathing heavily. His eyes revealed a sense of helplessness and confusion.
Jones was substituted, and he walked to the sidelines with his head lowered, perhaps filled with regret and loss.
Fleur, on the other hand, straightened his back, his eyes firm and resolute, as if he was ready to show off his skills in the next game.
However, the direction of development seems to be somewhat off track.
Fleur, who just debuted, was very active. As a forward, he started grabbing the ball in the midfield area.
And it was precisely because of his positivity that he tripped Lampard to the ground when he was pressing closely against him.
Lampard was holding his left leg in pain. Referee Atkinson immediately called the team doctor to come in. After a preliminary examination by the team doctor, Lampard was no longer able to continue the high-intensity game, so he had to call a stretcher to take him out of the field.
For Fleur who tripped Lampard, Atkinson also showed a yellow card as a warning.
In the 72nd minute, Chelsea made substitution adjustments. Ancelotti replaced the injured Lampard with Kevin De Bruyne.
De Bruyne's appearance made Chelsea's entire left wing more active.
This side now has Xiao Yu and Ashley Cole, plus De Bruyne, who is very stable in controlling the ball and passing the ball, greatly increasing the pressure on Stoke City's defense.
What's more, Chelsea's players in other positions are not mediocre. Drogba in the front, Anelka and Mikel on the right, and Essien in the midfield, none of them can be taken lightly.
De Bruyne had just come on the field, and his first touch of the ball was to receive a pass from Essien, because Whitehead's defensive focus was more on Essien, and Delap, who was supposed to be defending De Bruyne, was here. Shi Zai and Hu Te were flanking Xiao Yu.
After getting the ball, De Bruyne was unmarked for a moment, and he simply took the ball directly towards Stoke City's penalty area.
Xiao Yu, Drogba, Anelka and even Mikel started running when they saw De Bruyne rushing, making Stoke City's backcourt suddenly lively.
Knowing that the youngster had scored two goals against Wigan Athletic last time, Stoke City's central defender Shawcross had to give up his plan to double-team Drogba with Faye and move towards Deb The direction in which Raunai came was blocked.
This time Drogba's position became vacant.
How could the "Warcraft" with its proud physique be easily suppressed by one person? Drogba rushed forward to bypass Faye, then suddenly retreated, creating a gap between two bodies. .
De Bruyne also discovered this gap in time and made a fake move to break through to the left. After taking away Shawcross' center of gravity, he came back and steadily passed the football to Drogba on the right. .
Drogba did not stop the ball, but fired an angry shot at the football. The football passed Faye's side and changed its direction slightly.
Duang! ~
The football hit the left post hard and bounced out.
When everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, a blue-robed young man had already arrived.
Seeing Xiao Yu rushing over, Sorensen immediately opened his arms, and Huth threw his body out, blocking Xiao Yu's shot with a sliding shovel.
But Xiao Yu didn't shoot, he just lightly touched with his left foot. The football just passed over Sorensen's head and flew towards the center of the penalty area.
"De Bruyne! Up!"
"Oh! Hit the empty goal, Chelsea is 4:0."
"Xiao Yu's handling of this ball was full marks. His supplementary line was blocked by Huth and Sorensen. De Bruyne in the middle was unguarded. He chose the most suitable method and was not greedy. You have to score goals yourself."
"Xiao Yu assisted De Bruyne, and the cooperation between the two Chelsea newcomers. Xiao Yu cleverly passed the ball, and De Bruyne steadily pushed the ball in. The cooperation was perfect."
"The only fly in the ointment is that Chelsea signed another Chinese player. Wang Chu has never had a chance to play. Otherwise, it would be very comfortable to see Chinese players connecting in the Premier League."
"This matter may really turn around. Lampard was carried out on a stretcher just now. He may miss a few games."
"However, Chelsea does not lack midfield players. This summer transfer alone has introduced Benayoun, Ramirez, Toni Kroos, De Bruyne and Wang Chu. Whether it is in terms of position or transfer fee, Wang Chudu is the most inconspicuous one, I really don’t know if I will have a chance to see China Connection.”
"I think that since I have signed, there will definitely be opportunities. No matter how deep Chelsea's bench is, players still need a reasonable rest when facing multi-line battles. There are always some games where the lineup needs to be adjusted, although Wang Chu may not be able to compete with Xiao for a while. Yu General will join the main force, but I think there is still a chance to appear together."
"Well, I hope this day comes soon. I can't wait."
After scoring the goal, De Bruyne and Xiao Yu hugged each other fiercely. He was so excited to score two consecutive games in the Premier League.
Of course, Xiao Yu is an exception. He is not an ordinary person. A "bad guy" cannot be compared with them.
The game continued, and after losing 4 goals, Stoke City's offense had gradually retreated.
In the 76th minute, the situation on the field was extremely tense. Players from both sides tensed up and went all out.
At this time, Drogba received a long pass from Ashley Cole in the center circle. He withstood the pressure of his opponent and relied on his strong body and precise judgment to steadily catch the ball.
Xiao Yu saw the situation and immediately started to move, throwing away the defense of Delap and Huth with lightning speed.
Drogba also made a knowing pass to find Xiao Yu who was traveling at high speed. Facing Shawcross, Xiao Yu cut inside without any solution and cut to the middle.
But at this time, Faye had already stepped up to defend, and Xiao Yu had to find a way to get past him before he could face the goalkeeper.
On the right side of the court, Anelka saw the opportunity coming and quickly entered the penalty area with his speed and skill.
His steps were quick and decisive, like a sharp sword cutting through the opponent's defense.
Xiao Yu also saw Anelka's movement from the corner of his eye, so after pedaling three bicycles in a row, he lowered his shoulders to the left, making a gesture to break through to the left.
