"4-4-2 is also a traditional defensive counterattack formation. Grant's main task in this game is to defend. First of all, don't concede so many goals to Chelsea. After you can defend it, it's best to score Chelsea one. , can make a draw."
"Lampard was not included in the squad for Chelsea's away game. It seems that he was seriously injured. Ancelotti still arranged a 4-3-3 formation:
No. 1 Petr Cech at the goalkeeper position;
The four defenders are No. 19 Ferreira, No. 2 Ivanovic, No. 26 Terry, and No. 3 Ashley Cole;
Three midfielders: No. 12 Mikel, No. 5 Essien and No. 10 Toni Kroos;
The three forwards are No. 7 Xiao Yu, No. 11 Drogba, and No. 39 Anelka. "
"Toni Kroos is also in Chelsea's starting lineup for the first time."
"There are also newcomers No. Kevin De Bruyne, No. 14 Van Dijk, No. 14 Wang Chu, No. 16 Ramirez and other substitutes."
"This is also the first time Wang Chu has entered the squad. I don't know if he will get a chance to play today."
"Lampard's injury will definitely bring more playing opportunities to the newly joined midfielders. At this time, it depends on their respective performances, just like Toni Kroos, he is the first The new player who came on the bench in the league came on the bench in the first four games and created 2 goals and 4 assists. If it were not for the existence of a perverted teammate Xiao Yu, his data would be perfect."
"Terry, who has recovered from injury, and Ivanovic form a central defensive partnership. This is also the Chelsea captain's 300th league start."
"The referee of this game is Foy. This referee is also a senior referee. He has been refereeing football matches since 1983 and became a member of the Premier League refereeing organization in 2001. What is more interesting is that Foy has become a professional referee. The referee’s previous career was as a police officer.”
"He has also transformed from a city law enforcer to a green field law enforcer."
"This game is also a head-to-head matchup in the Premier League. Currently, West Ham United has lost the first three games and has 0 points, ranking last in the Premier League. However, the visiting team Chelsea has won all three games and accumulated 9 points. It is a blast. 23 goals, far ahead at the top of the list.”
"You don't dare to underestimate any team in the Premier League. The Big6 group has overturned these small clubs more than once."
"That's right, the best thing about football is that as long as the game is not over, anything can happen."
"The game is about to start. We will go into a commercial and come back later. The broadcast of this game is exclusively sponsored by WeChat, the new lifestyle in the Internet era."

Beep! ~
As the referee Foy blew the whistle, the game began. The first to kick off was the visiting Blues Chelsea.
After several rounds of early-game tactics, Xiao Yu's bad reputation has spread widely among Premier League teams. When Xiao Yu kicks off, the goalkeepers stand on the goal line in an orderly manner. The defensive players in Xiao Yu's position also started chain defense, and at least two people came up to stop Xiao Yu's attack.
This kind of treatment is comparable to the two superstars of La Liga - Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.
However, Xiao Yu is not completely out of ideas.
With the support of Toni Kroos, Essien and Ashley Cole behind him, and Drogba and Anelka on the right, he has a higher degree of freedom.
No, just after the opening, he and Toni Kroos made several consecutive cooperations, pushing the offensive line directly to the edge of West Ham's penalty area.
After finally receiving the pass from Toni Kroos, Xiao Yu did not stop the ball and chose to pass in front of the opponent's defender Ben Haim. He quickly bypassed Ben Haim and broke into the penalty area. .
Drogba in the middle saw the football passed by Xiao Yu and without hesitation chose to hit the goal with a heavy kick.
The football roared past Upson with a strong wind and headed straight for the West Ham United goal.
"Drogba! Shoot!"
"oops!"
"The football was thrown by the goalkeeper and flew out of the bottom line against the post. Chelsea got the first corner kick of the game!"
"Green did a great job! The ball just missed the goal of West Ham."
"This shot was saved beautifully. Drogba himself did not expect that this shot could be saved by his opponent."
"Drogba walked to the corner on the left with the football in his arms. With such an offensive at the beginning, will Chelsea continue to stage an outrageous big score victory in this game?"
"Then let's take a look at this corner kick first."
Drogba took a corner kick, and the football flew high into the penalty area, but the ball did not go to Xiao Yu and Anelka, who were tightly defended.
The direction of the football's flight is a little outside.
"Header!"
"The ball went in!"
"Who are we looking at?"
"Essien!"
"Essien, Chelsea's most stable player, jumped high in front of the goal and smashed the football into West Ham's goal with a powerful header."
"This waist is so nice, hehe!"
"Haha, yes, which team wouldn't want a waist like this?"
"The defensive Ilunga has the main responsibility for this ball."
"Well, in the face of Drogba's corner kick, he actually took the header, and Essien seized the opportunity and made the final decision."
"This is also his first goal since December last year and his first league goal since November last year. Essien has once again proved to the world that his ability is not just defensive."
"The Hexagon Warrior refers to players like Essien. We congratulate Chelsea and Essien for taking the lead in the first 2 minutes. The next game will be easier to play."
After scoring the goal, Essien rushed to the corner flag area and slid to his knees, sliding straight in front of Drogba, who happened to hug Essien excitedly and celebrated together.
Drogba glanced at the scratches on the lawn out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself: Fortunately, it's not like I am a three-way guy!
West Ham United kicked off, and they chose a more stable style of play this time, using more short passes to avoid mistakes.
Although Chelsea's pressing was still fierce, they were not as fast as the ball, and West Ham United also created a wave of ball possession peaks in a short period of time.
In the 4th minute, West Ham United's Parker made a pass from the right with the intention of hanging it into the heart of Chelsea's penalty area.
But this pass was too big, and the football passed directly through the penalty area and headed towards the left sideline.
At this time, Noble on the left side of the penalty area got ahead of Paulo Ferreira and made a header, pushing the football back into the penalty area again.
West Ham United forward Obinna was also ambushing in the penalty area. He suddenly accelerated and rushed in front of Ivanovic. His chest stopped, and he followed up with a volley shot with his left foot. The football went towards Chelsea's goal. The goal went to the near corner.
