"At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea kicked off and the football was passed to Essien's feet."
Essien took the ball and dribbled it smoothly across the center line. With the cooperation of Ramirez, he passed Ireland and Petrov smoothly, and then passed the ball to Kakuta on the right.
"Kakuta got the ball, stepped on his bicycle and got rid of Warnock."
"Hey! Got knocked down."
"Kakuta collapsed on the pitch in pain."
"Let's watch the replay. Warnock tackled the football first and there was no foul."
"Kakuta fell hard and hit his leg."
"He was injured just last month, and it was also his right leg."
"Yes, the stretcher has arrived. The situation in Kakuta is not optimistic."
"We saw that the fourth official on the sidelines had raised his sign. Chelsea made a substitution and replaced the injured Kakuta with Zhirkov."
"This formation has also become a 4-4-2, with Malouda and Anelka partnering as a double striker."
"Both sides suffered unexpected attrition, and this game also caused heavy losses to both teams."
Chelsea throw-in.
Ferreira threw the ball into the penalty area again, and Malouda nodded back.
It's just that Collins got the ball out of the penalty area before Anelka.
In the 51st minute, Ashley Cole dribbled the ball forward and made a long pass from the left side of the penalty area. Anelka beat Collins to grab the first point, but the ball was deflected under the interference of Collins.
Villa's goal kick, Friedel kicked the ball into the frontcourt, and Ashley Young gave the ball to Downing on the left.
Tangning dribbled the ball directly towards Ferreira's defensive area. He wanted to use his speed to catch Ferreira off guard.
However, this time, Ferreira did not disappoint the Blues. He intercepted the ball accurately and immediately handed the ball to Essien. Chelsea's attack started immediately.
In the end, Malouda's side shot hit the side net, and the attack ended in failure.
In the 55th minute, Anelka picked up the ball in front of the penalty area and was knocked away by Collins. Anelka was so angry that he grabbed Collins' jersey and saw that the conflict was about to break out.
Essien quickly ran up and pulled it away, avoiding further conflict between the two sides.
In the 60th minute, Ashley Young and Downing played a one-two against Essien.
Terry stepped forward and blocked Ashley Young behind him.
Ashley Young immediately reached the bottom and rolled over in an extremely exaggerated way.
Referee Mason immediately blew the whistle, whistled Terry for a foul, and showed Terry a yellow card.
In the 65th minute, Ferreira stepped in at high speed from the wing, received Ramirez's pass and led forward to get past Warnock.
Perhaps Warnock did not expect veteran Ferreira to choose to rush, and he actually blocked Ferreira's running route.
Ferreira was tripped and rolled forward more than a dozen times.
Beep! ~
Referee Mason immediately blew the whistle and showed Warnock a yellow card.
In the 68th minute, Chelsea had a corner kick and Malouda took a corner kick.
The penalty area was crowded, and the football was finally cleared by Collins.
In the battle for the second point outside the penalty area, Ireland jumped up and collided with Essien.
"Essien covered his face and fell to the ground."
"What we saw on the replays was another contact between Ireland's elbow and Essien's head."
"The referee blew the whistle and it was a yellow card. It should have been for an Irish elbow."
"Chelsea won a well-placed free kick."
"Hey! Essien's face is covered in blood."
"It should have been broken at the brow bone, where the blood vessels are relatively dense."
"We saw Essien return to the court after doing simple treatment to stop the bleeding on the sidelines, and the fans also gave him applause and encouragement."
"This is really a bloody battle."
In the 74th minute, Villa chose to make a substitution and replaced Carew with Delfoneso, who had made many unsuccessful shots.
In the 75th minute, Zhirkov broke through with the ball from the left wing. He wanted to use a clever pick to get past the opponent's defender.
However, the football hit the arm of Clark, who came on as a substitute for Villa.
Zhirkov immediately raised his hand to signal to the referee that the opponent had committed a handball foul.
After communicating with the linesman, the referee blew the whistle for a foul on Clark and showed Clark a yellow card.
Villa have picked up three yellow cards since then.
In the 76th minute, Ancelotti also played his first card and replaced Ramirez with Wang Chu.
This is also Wang Chu’s first appearance in the Premier League.
And Wang Chu's performance did not disappoint Ancelotti.
As soon as he touched the ball for the first time on the field, Wang Chu ripped apart Villa's defense with a scalpel pass. It was a pity that Anelka did not think of Wang Chu together and did not run in place.
However, Wang Chu's kick also made Villa's defense pay more attention to him.
There is a terrifying Chinese boy named Xiao Yu in Chelsea, how come there is another Chinese face.
In the 78th minute, Wang Chu got the ball again and found Ashley Cole on the left with a diagonal pass. Ashley Cole passed the ball directly without stopping. Anelka competed for the top goalkeeper in the penalty area. The ball top is high.
In the 81st minute, Zhirkov crossed to Wang Chu. After Wang Chu took the ball, he turned around to protect Ashley Young and dodge Ashley Young. This scene also caused exclamations from the stands.
He had practiced this move with Xiao Yu privately, just so that one day he could appear on stage and amaze everyone.
But such an action also disgraced the opponent, and Ashley Young pushed Wang Chu down.
The referee blew the whistle immediately and Ashley Young received a yellow card.
Although the offense was not successful, Wang Chu's stunning performance made all fans ecstatic.
There are even many Chinese fans who have begun to dream about the rise of the Chinese national football team, but that can only be a fantasy for now.
Taking advantage of the dead ball gap when Wang Chu was violated this time, both sides chose to make substitutions.
The Villa team at home replaced Ireland with Sidwell, and they also wanted to continue to strengthen their offense.
For Chelsea, Xiao Yu came on the scene and replaced Mikel.
"Xiao Yu is on the stage. I wonder if he will play as a midfielder or a forward?"
"No matter which position he plays, this game is a memorable game. It is the first time that two Chinese players appear in the Premier League at the same time."
"Yes, we are very lucky to see Chinese players playing in a league like the Premier League at the same time."
"Xiao Yu ran to the right. Ancelotti should have let Chelsea return to the 4-3-3 formation, and Xiao Yu would tear apart Villa's defense."
Xiao Yu came on the stage, and Villa's defense immediately became nervous. After all, he has a reputation for being vicious.
Xiao Yu touched the ball for the first time and was immediately surrounded by Warnock, Downing and Sidwell.
Xiao Yu didn't ask for help and passed the ball back to Wang Chu in the midfield.
This was the first connection between Chinese players and it also made some Chinese students in Villa Park scream excitedly.
