Faye was indeed fooled, but Xiao Yu just smiled and moved the ball to the right again, and the arch of his foot pushed the football to the front of Anelka's running route.
As a goalkeeper, Sorensen naturally would not sit idly by. He saw the right moment and decided to attack and intercept.
His movements were decisive and powerful, like a tiger rushing out of the door.
However, at this critical moment, his judgment made a mistake.
His attack was not the best time, which also gave Anelka a chance. His hands blocked Anelka's path, and Anelka fell to the ground in pain.
The referee was very clear about this foul and whistled a penalty kick without hesitation.
"Penalty kick!"
"This is Chelsea's second penalty of the game."
"I wonder if Xiao Yu will be allowed to take the penalty."
"Probably not. After all, Xiao Yu is still a newcomer to Chelsea. He still needs some time to gain the recognition of the entire team."
"But based on the performance of these two games, this time shouldn't be too far away."
"Oh~ Drogba stood up."
"Drogba is also Chelsea's second penalty taker. It seems that they are also allocated according to the coach's arrangements in a more disciplined manner."
"Chelsea's first penalty kicker Lampard has already missed a penalty kick in the first half. Let's see if Drogba's penalty kick can be successfully scored."
Drogba's eyes were firm and his steps were steady as he walked towards the penalty spot step by step.
He rearranged the football and looked at Sorensen in front of the goal with his ferocious eyes.
Then Drogba started his performance.
He took a deep breath, like a cheetah preparing to kill its prey.
All the strength of his body was concentrated on his toes, and then he burst out with huge power in an instant.
The football was like a bullet, flying straight to the upper left corner of the goal.
All the spectators held their breath and all eyes were focused on this football.
Then, like spring thunder exploding the sky, when the football passed through Sorensen's fingertips, the cheers of the audience instantly surged into the entire stadium like a wave.
"The ball went in! Drogba scored the penalty!"
"Chelsea is already 5-0. This game has lost its suspense. Ancelotti's team is really going to create new history. They won the first three rounds of the Premier League by a big score. This record is unprecedented."
"Already we have top strikers like Drogba, Anelka, and Lampard, and we have introduced Xiao Yu, the strongest striker in Europe last season, plus German rookie Toni Kroos. The combination of the Belgian blond boy De Bruyne is really a bit of a downgrade when facing these middle and lower-tier teams."
"Then we need to look at the results against Manchester City and Arsenal in the sixth and seventh rounds. If it continues as before, it can basically be concluded that the Blues will successfully defend their title this year."
"That's not necessarily true. The upcoming schedule will become increasingly intensive. There are leagues, League Cups, and FA Cups in England, and there is also the Champions League in Europe. In addition, many of these outstanding players will be called up to participate in national team games. Whether we can defend our title or not, the second half of the season is more critical."
This goal is Drogba's fourth goal this season, and it once again refreshed his scoring record at Chelsea, getting closer and closer to fifth place in team history.
His performance was worthy of the title of Warcraft. With his strength and determination, he won a key point for the team.
In the 80th minute, Chelsea made their first substitution adjustment. Ancelotti replaced the transparent Mikel with the German teenager Toni Kroos, who was introduced for 22 million euros this summer.
This substitution adjustment may be aimed at changing the situation on the field and enhancing the power of the offensive end.
Toni Kroos has fully proven himself in the first two games. He is young and energetic enough to pass and shoot. His speed and skills are expected to create more offensive opportunities for Chelsea.
Opportunities always come to those who are prepared.
In the 84th minute, Xiao Yu received a pass from De Bruyne, and a whirlwind blew up on the left wing again. He passed Delap and Huth one after another, and once again entered the Stoke City penalty area from near the baseline. They have to face the blocking of Shawcross and goalkeeper Sorensen.
Xiao Yu did not forget to observe while running. Drogba in the penalty area was guarded by Faye and Whelan. There was only Collins beside Anelka at the far end, but Xiao Yu was not very confident that he could do it. Pass the football that far and steadily.
De Bruyne, who was closest behind him, was also being defended by Whitehead, but Toni Kroos, who had just appeared, was left vacant because Whelan went to help defend Drogba, and there was no defender following him. .
This just allowed Xiao Yu to play again. He made eye contact with Toni Kroos, and Kroos rushed towards the top of the penalty area.
Xiao Yu also raised his left leg, making a motion to push towards the near corner.
Sorensen in front of the goal immediately threw himself to the right, and Shawcross seemed to be too fed by Xiao Yu's fake moves today, so he actually reversed the situation and shot towards Xiao Yu's gesture. Extend your leg in the opposite direction to block.
Xiao Yu did not shoot, and Shawcross' prediction almost saved Stoke City's defense.
But the initiative on the court is in the hands of the side with the ball most of the time. Xiao Yu's breakthrough to the right may have been blocked by Shawcross.
However, his original plan was not to break through. Faced with Shawcross' blockage, Xiao Yu just pulled the ball to the outside again and made an inverted triangle pass to find Tony Cross who had already rushed to the top of the penalty area. .
When the Stoke City players discovered that the football had been passed back by Xiao Yu, it was already too late.
Xiao Yu's short pass was very smooth, and Toni Kroos handled it very comfortably. Without any pause, he rounded his right leg and hit the football.
This kick hit the ball hard in the middle, lower left, and the ball spun violently toward the upper right corner of the goal.
Sorensen, who had already climbed up from the ground, did not want to give up. He rushed to the other side of the goal with all his strength. He jumped up just after passing the third position and stretched out his long arms as much as possible.
Uh-huh!
The football entered the net with a spin, but Sorensen still couldn't catch up. He fell to the lawn almost at the same time as the football, but the football was inside the goal and he was outside.
"Toni Kroos!"
"With a world wave, Toni Kroos changed the score to 6:0, which has already caught up with their first game this season."
"Xiao Yu passed the ball very beautifully. He not only scored the goal himself, but also assisted."
"This is already Xiao Yu's second assist in this game!"
"It is unimaginable that Xiao Yu has already scored a hat trick and scored two assists in this game. He must be the MVP of this game."
