However, fate doesn't seem to be on his side.
The football hit Anelka's heel and bounced backwards.
At this moment, the entire stadium seemed to be suffocated, and people's breathing stagnated for a moment.
However, the opportunity has not disappeared.
Ashley Cole, England's No. 1 left-back, follows up like a cheetah.
He keenly caught this unexpected opportunity, received the ball, rushed to the left side of the penalty area, and calmly chose a low shot that went straight to the goal.
However, at this critical moment, Joe Hart stood up again and blocked the low shot, trying to keep the goal.
When everyone felt sorry for Chelsea, De Bruyne stepped forward.
Seeing that the opportunity was fleeting, the Belgian midfield rookie stepped in without hesitation. Without stopping the ball, he directly passed the ball to Xiao Yu, who had already completed the start.
Xiao Yu rushed into the penalty area at full speed like a tiger coming out of its cage.
His dribbling was very similar to Ibrahimovic. Although Kolo Toure tried to reach out and pull, it did not affect Xiao Yu's pace.
Joe Hart had to try his best to defend under this sudden attack.
But with just a change of pace, Xiao Yu knocked down Joe Hart, then flicked the ball past and got a chance to face the empty goal.
Faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Xiao Yu didn't hesitate at all.
He fired a powerful shot to tie the score.
The football is like a bullet, shooting straight into the deepest part of the goal.
Although Joe Hart tried his best to save, he still couldn't stop the ball from flying into the net.
The entire stadium boiled instantly, and the audience cheered wildly to celebrate this precious goal.
"The ball went in!"
"Hahahaha! Xiao Yu!"
"This is a great goal!"
"Xiao Yu used his habit to hit an empty goal and equalized the score for Chelsea. The two sides returned to the same starting line again."
"Xiao Yu is great. I feel that hope for Chinese football is really coming."
"We congratulate Xiao Yu and congratulate Chelsea."
"The suspense of this game has risen again. Who will have the last laugh? Fans and friends, please quickly take out your mobile phone, open WeChat, and scan the QR code at the bottom right of the screen. Every time a goal is scored in this game, we will Send five exquisite gifts. The broadcast of this game is exclusively sponsored by WeChat, the new lifestyle in the Internet era."
Xiao Yu was extremely excited after scoring the goal. He played against the wind for 20 minutes. He did not use the must-goal card for this goal. It can be said to be a verification of his ability.
He rushed to the sidelines and kept looking up into the stands until he finally found the sweetheart.
So Xiao Yu gestured with his hands toward the stand where the lovely person was.
The on-site director was also very experienced and switched the camera to the stands, and the lovely person appeared in everyone's sight.
Elena even blew a double-handed kiss to Xiao Yu under the camera.
This made Xiao Yu even more motivated. He nodded and smiled at Elena. After receiving a response, he returned to his own half with his teammates and continued the game.
In the 80th minute, Manchester City kicked off.
Manchester City's offensive hierarchy is very clear, starting with Tevez at the front, then Adam Johnson and Milner, and then Yaya Toure and Barry.
As for De Jong, except for set kicks, he rarely enters Chelsea's penalty area.
On this kick-off, when the football was passed to De Jong's feet, De Jong directly kicked the football towards the frontcourt without stopping the ball.
Adam Johnson, who had just debuted, headed the ball to the right with his head. Milner received the ball with his far foot and headed straight towards Chelsea's penalty area.
Ashley Cole and Essien immediately chose to shrink in an attempt to compress Milner's range of activities.
But Milner raised the corner of his mouth and took advantage of Essien's retreat to pass the football back to the center with an inverted triangle pass.
Yaya Toure appeared on the line of central football.
Fortunately, Alex had predicted Milner's handling earlier. When Yaya Toure stopped the ball, Alex also arrived. He overturned the tall Yaya Toure with a sliding tackle. .
"Hey! This kick is going to get you a card."
"Sure enough, the referee showed Alex a yellow card."
"This had to be done like this. It was considered a tactical foul, and it also gave the players on both sides some breathing space."
"There's nothing wrong with Alex's foot."
"We see that we need to make a substitution on the sidelines. Van Dijk...replaces No. 33, oh. Ancelotti uses youngster Van Dijk to replace Alex, who just received a yellow card."
"Is such a substitution appropriate?"
"Although Van Dijk has performed well in several appearances, he is only a 19-year-old rookie after all. In such an important game, he serves as the backbone of the defense..."
"I think this is also a challenge An Shuai gives to young people."
"Let's take a look at Manchester City's free kick first."
"Milner takes the penalty."
"Shoot!"
"Hey! Hit the wall again."
"Milner needs to adjust his foot well. Two free kicks in a row did not go through the wall."
…
In the 83rd minute, Sturridge lost the ball in midfield, and Yaya Toure found Tevez with another through ball.
Tevez dribbled the ball towards the center. When he accelerated and changed direction in order to break through Van Dijk, Van Dijk kicked him down, but the referee did not give a penalty.
Although Tevez chased the referee Marina and roared, the referee insisted on his decision and the game continued.
Seeing Yaya Toure rushing forward, Terry immediately stepped forward and destroyed the ball out of the sideline.
"The referee is trying to find a balance. First, De Jong's tackle on Manchester City's side was not ruled out, and now Van Dijk's tackle on Tevez was not ruled out."
"It's not that I don't judge, I didn't see it, hehe!"
In the 84th minute, Manchester City had a boundary kick, and Barry directly found Tevez in the middle.
Tevez caught the ball and turned around in one go, but when he was about to take the next step, he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Beep! ~
The referee chose to blow the whistle this time!
Terry was judged to have fouled Tevez before the penalty area, and Manchester City received a free kick 25 yards from the goal.
The Argentine Beast did its part this time and stood in front of football.
As the football flew over the wall, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
However, Tevez's shot missed the near corner and flew out of the baseline.
The two sides are still on the same starting line.
In the 86th minute, Xiao Yu once again attacked Manchester City's defense, but his physical fitness had already turned on the red light. This time, he was unable to complete a shot or pass after getting rid of Zabaleta.
Due to his physical condition, his movements in handling the ball are no longer as quick and uninterruptible as before.
Although Zabaleta could not press forward step by step, Xiao Yu could no longer completely get rid of his defense at this time.
In the end, the football was destroyed by Zabaleta and went off the sideline.
