In the 19th minute, Kakuta received a pass from Van Aanholt and passed it straight to Anelka in the penalty area. Anelka turned around and shook Campbell away and fired a powerful shot.
It's a pity that the football hit the goal post hard and missed the opportunity to expand the score.
In the 22nd minute, Benayoun stepped in and made a collision with Anelka. Benayoun's shot missed the goal.
In the 24th minute, Gutierrez's long shot was scored by Turnbull.
In the 25th minute, Van Aanholt dribbled the ball to complete the breakthrough and passed the cross to Kakuta who had already run to the penalty area.
Facing veteran Campbell in the penalty area, Kakuta kicked the ball directly from 30 yards without stopping, and the football flew towards the goal with a strong wind.
However, Krul in front of Newcastle's goal was very focused and saved the ball with a side dive.
In the 27th minute, Newcastle's youngster Sean Ferguson seemed to see Chelsea's Van Aanholt performing well and wanted to compete with him. He also completed a beautiful pass and completed a cross.
In the penalty area, Lowenkranz and Van Dijk competed for the top. Van Dijk overpowered Lowenkranz to grab the first point. The football was passed directly to Ramirez's feet, and Ramirez made a clearance.
In the 30th minute, Gutierrez made a pass from the left, but the football hit the leg of Rangel at the front point and bounced into the near corner.
In the 32nd minute, Ameobi caught the ball and turned around. After being thrown away, Bruma had no choice but to reach out and grab Ameobi. The referee Dodd showed him a yellow card.
Newcastle are awarded a direct free kick on the edge of the penalty area.
Ryan Taylor takes the free kick.
He took a deep breath, took a few steps, and shot toward the goal.
The football perfectly bypassed the wall and penetrated into the upper corner of the left goal.
"The ball went in!"
"Ryan Taylor's free kick went into the dead center."
"The score was evened on the field."
"The suspense of this game is back."
In the 35th minute, Newcastle launched another attack from the left. Sean Ferguson broke through to the midfield and passed the ball to Alan Smith.
Alan Smith and Gutierrez played a one-two to pass Ramirez.
Then Alan Smith passed the ball behind Bruma with a through ball. Ameobi struggled to get in and resisted Van Dijk to complete a shot from a small angle.
The football passed through Turnbull's armpit and was about to go into the far corner of the goal.
"We have this ball!"
"It looks like Newcastle are going to overtake the score."
"Eh? Who is this?"
"Van Aanholt, it was youngster Van Aanholt, saved the ball on the goal line."
"The young player did a great job today. He scored first and saved another goal."
In the 40th minute, Kakuta dribbled the ball down, and Ryan Taylor knocked him down again. This foul almost earned him a second yellow card, and the referee Dodd also gave him a stern verbal warning.
Beep! ~Beep beep! ~
Dodd blew the whistle to end the first half.
"The first half is over, and the two sides are tied one to one. The suspense will be revealed in the second half."
"The young players from both teams performed extremely well. Van Aanholt on Chelsea's side can attack and defend. Van Dijk limited Lowencrantz's performance to only playing ball. Bruma also allowed him to play ball. Ameobi cannot easily take the ball and shoot, and Kakuta in the frontcourt was the initiator of many attacks in the first half.”
"It's just that Kakuta was violated many times in the first half and was tackled twice by Ryan Taylor. The situation is not optimistic."
"Fans can take out their mobile phones, open WeChat, and scan the QR code in the lower right corner of the screen to participate in this interaction. We will give away exquisite gifts. The broadcast of this game is exclusively sponsored by WeChat, the new lifestyle in the Internet era. Out. Let’s start with a commercial and then give you an analysis of the first half.”
Entering the locker room, Ancelotti frowned. Kakuta's right ankle was swollen and he obviously could not continue the second half of the game.
"Coach, let me go!"
Xiao Yu stood up.
Ancelotti also looked at Xiao Yu. Now Xiao Yu has gradually become the soul of Chelsea, and it is expected that he will become the leader of the entire Chelsea.
However, Ryan Taylor's big move in the first half has already caused Kakuta's injury. If Xiao Yu is injured because of a League Cup, it will be more than worth the gain.
"Coach, let me go!"
Seeing that Ancelotti did not respond, Xiao Yu spoke again.
"You can play, we will change to 4-4-2, and you will play as a central midfielder."
Ancelotti also thought of a compromise. Since Ryan Taylor is more ruthless, he should not be with him to avoid direct conflict.
In the second half, Chelsea made a substitution and replaced Kakuta with Xiao Yu.
"But looking at his position, Xiao Yu doesn't seem to be playing as a left winger."
"We saw Chelsea steal the ball, Ramirez handed it to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu took the ball and passed it through!"
"Oh! Anelka, you are slow!"
"Xiao Yu's speed is too fast. The 31-year-old Anelka can no longer keep up with Xiao Yu's rhythm."
"This through ball was great. Campbell and Coloccini couldn't touch it at all. It's a pity that Anelka didn't predict it."
"Looking at it this way, Xiao Yu's position is more like the No. 10 position. Today Ancelotti will let Xiao Yu be the core."
"There is such a possibility. The main thing is that we, Xiao Yu, keep our abilities here. Everything is possible, haha!"
Xiao Yu's appearance did improve Chelsea's offense to a certain extent, but after trying two through balls, neither Anelka nor Sturridge could form a tacit understanding with him. Xiao Yu also adjusted Give yourself a break and slow down a little for a moment.
For a certain period of time, he even envied De Bruyne. That kind of God's perspective is an advanced skill for a ball player. It is obvious that he does not have it yet. The threatening ball he passes can only be a threat, and it only makes the opponent's defender It's not easy to defend, but it's also difficult for your own teammates to catch it.
In the 49th minute, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
Paulo Ferreira's somewhat casual cross-pass failed to form a tacit understanding with Ramirez and was obtained by Ameobi. Naturally, the Nigerians would not miss this great gift.
After taking a step, he fired a furious shot from a distance of 25 yards from the goal. After another obvious bounce of the ball, it just jumped over Turnbull's outstretched leg and drilled into the lower right corner of the goal.
"Ameobi!"
"The ball went in!"
"Newcastle takes the lead!"
"Paul Ferreira made a huge mistake."
"This is completely in the rhythm of gift-giving."
"It was originally a great situation after Xiao Yu came up, but Ferreira, as a veteran, really shouldn't do it."
"Newcastle took the lead 2:1. Let's see how Chelsea will consider this game next."
"Actually, for Chelsea, who still have the Champions League, there is nothing wrong with giving up the League Cup. After all, there is no prize money in this cup. It is still in the middle of the week and often runs into the devil's schedule."
