The game continued and Oravich kicked off again.
This time they still chose to go from the backcourt to the feet to lure the enemy deep, and then they could launch defensive counterattack tactics.
However, it is also a tactic with a high risk factor. Just two minutes later, Toni Kroos cut off the opponent's football near the center circle and started to break forward with the ball.
After driving all the way to the top of the penalty area at high speed, he raised his right leg as if he was going to take a long shot.
Pjacek, who came out of defense, also made defensive moves to block the shot.
However, he miscalculated.
Toni Kroos suddenly passed the ball to the right, Sturridge quickly stepped in, and after rushing past the opponent's full-back Mraz, he passed the ball low.
Unfortunately, due to Pekalka's interference, Anelka was unable to run into position, and the football slipped past the goal and eventually flew out of the baseline.
"It's a pity that the ball was scored. Anyone who touched it might have scored."
"Sturridge's passing speed is fast and the angle is tricky. It is difficult to defend high-speed low passes like this. Many defenders have scored own goals because of defending similar crosses, so no one is willing to do so. To touch a pass like that.”
These two attacks were all initiated by Toni Kroos, which also made Ancelotti mark it down in his notebook off the court.
On the court, Toni Kroos' surprises continued.
After two "warm-ups", in the 12th minute, Toni Kroos once again got the ball in the middle and launched a decisive attack. While running, he suddenly passed the ball to the left side of the field with a through ball.
The football continuously passed through the defense of Jez and Gu Dan, and then accurately landed at the feet of Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu then made a cross pass to the top of the penalty area.
Essien, who seized the opportunity to intervene, pushed the ball. The football flew close to the ground, with some spin, and accurately penetrated into the lower right corner of the goal in an instant.
Although Dubravka had already swooped out and his fingertips seemed to have touched the football, he still failed to prevent Essien's goal!
"The ball is scored! Essien!"
"This kick came from Xiao Yu's assist, but the initiator of the attack was Toni Kroos."
"This ball was played beautifully. Although it was a push shot, the angle was extremely tricky and it almost hit the post. Dubravka had already reacted very quickly, but it was a pity that his opponent was Essien, a six-sided player. Shape warrior."
"Thirteen minutes into the game, Chelsea took a two-goal lead. Xiao Yu also scored a goal and an assist. Perhaps the MVP is always the one he has designated."
"But Toni Kroos' performance today was also amazing. The three attacks so far were all initiated by him."
"De Bruyne on the right is also very active in running, but he has not won the ball a few times. How the specific performance will be depends on the next time."
The game continues.
After the first ten minutes of performance, Toni Kroos became more and more calm, dribbling the ball more and more steadily, and never being sloppy in handling the ball.
In the 23rd minute, it was Toni Kroos again. The midfielder received a cross from De Bruyne and passed Jazz with a beautiful heel pull.
Perhaps feeling that he had been humiliated and already passed over, Jazz chose to trip up Toni Kroos after all.
"This is going to cost you something!"
"Tony Kroos has become more confident. He is playing the ball, catching the ball more and more smoothly, and handling the ball is no longer sloppy. This smooth pass over the ball just now is a manifestation of his overwhelming confidence."
"Jerzy received a yellow card and Chelsea were awarded a free kick."
"Both Lampard and Drogba were not here, but Toni Kroos took the free kick and stood in front of the ball."
"Hey! Hurry up!"
"De Bruyne!"
"Stop, let's go!"
"Shoot!"
"The ball went in!"
"Anelka!"
"Anelka received a through ball from De Bruyne and caught all the Zilina players off guard."
"We just said that De Bruyne didn't have any talent, but he immediately made an assist."
"But I think this goal still depends on the performance of Toni Kroos."
"Yes! From his acrobatic passing of the ball to create a free kick, to finding the right moment to quickly send a free kick to find De Bruyne, all of this requires a very clear mind."
"Kross definitely belongs to the type with a high football intelligence. Maybe he is also very suitable for the classic attacking midfielder position, but there is no such position in the current formation."
"Compared to Lampard, Chelsea's other offensive core, Toni Kroos' forward impact is obviously stronger."
"Lampard is already 32 years old and Toni Kroos is only 19. Chelsea's future is already beginning to show its promise."
"It's 3:0. Chelsea's first Champions League game of the season is guaranteed."
Anelka had already missed two shots before. After this shot went in, he rushed to De Bruyne very excitedly, picked up the still relatively thin Ding Ding and lifted him up high. What a feeling , It’s really like an elder holding a child.
He was also happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw Toni Kroos and De Bruyne performing well.
These two are both players signed by his "wife" Elf Agency. The faster their value rises, the more beneficial it will be to them.
In the 27th minute, Xiao Yu completed the pass from the left and when he wanted to cut into the penalty area, the football was destroyed by Gu Dan.
However, the danger in Zilina was not eliminated. The football happened to come to the feet of Essien in front of the center circle.
Essien stopped and made a diagonal pass to the right. De Bruyne caught the ball and then lobbed the football into the penalty area with a high ball.
"Isn't this kick a bit casual..."
"Huh? Anelka!"
"Header!"
"The ball went in!"
"4:0!"
"In the 28th minute of the first half, De Bruyne assisted Anelka to score twice."
"He also scored twice with an assist."
"I apologize for what I just said. De Bruyne's kick was based on his precise footwork after observing it in advance."
"This pass is the legendary cake feed. Today, Anelka has been fed by De Bruyne twice, and both goals were very easy."
"Chelsea's purchase of Xiao Yu this time is really worth it. Not to mention Xiao Yu's terrifying scoring efficiency, the players he introduced are all as good as each other."
"Yes, not to mention Toni Kroos and De Bruyne on the field today, Van Dijk, who came on as a substitute for John Terry in the last game, is also a player who has the style of a defensive general. He stole the ball decisively several times. and movement, making Chelsea’s defense impregnable.”
"The only ones left are Wang Chu and Azpilicueta. I believe in Xiao Yu's vision. There is a high probability that these two will amaze everyone."
Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu explained passionately, and Wang Chu and Azpilicueta on the bench were also eager to try.
