In order to cope with the possible strengthening of Arsenal's offensive in the second half, they also have to make corresponding arrangements, and Xiao Yu is also given an important task. In the second half, he will serve as the attacking midfielder. De Bruyne and Toni Kroos will also have to retreat to participate in the defense. The formation was changed to 4-4-2.
Xiao Yu has also played the attacking midfielder position, and he is also willing to try more positions. In his previous life, Xiao Yu played too single-mindedly and could only adapt to the left winger and left midfielder, and could not adapt to the coach's various arrangements. So much so that he finally lost his position in the competition.
——
"Viewers, welcome back. What you are watching is the match between Chelsea and Arsenal in the fourth round of the 2010-2011 English League Cup. The second half of the game will begin soon."
"With Xiao Yu's goal in the 40th minute in the first half, Chelsea currently leads Arsenal 1:0, and we also saw that Fabregas has been warming up on the sidelines and may appear at any time."
"It can be seen that although it is only a League Cup game, Wenger does not want to lose."
"Actually, Wenger must have been very depressed in the first half. Xiao Yu's appearance was quite a surprise to him."
"Yes, we agreed to rotate the lineup for the match. You, Fatty An, are playing word games with me and sent Xiao Yu. Is he considered the top scorer in the Eredivisie and the Europa League? Can he be regarded as a rotation player?"
"Hahaha! So Xiaofa was also called out by Professor Wen. This game seems to have changed from a "training" game where winning or losing is not important, to a scene where the two head coaches are fighting for their wits."
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
In the 47th minute, Walcott and Rosicky cooperated in the middle to bring the football to the front of the penalty area. Vandell made a serious mistake in the confrontation with Walcott.
When defending Walcott, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, Van Dijk hesitated to take action. This opportunity was taken advantage of by Walcott. Walcott flicked the ball to the outside, but others hit Van Dijk. On top of Dyke's long legs, he then rolled forward and fell to the ground holding his legs, showing an extremely painful look.
The referee immediately blew the whistle, determined that Van Dyke had committed a foul, and showed him a yellow card.
Van Dyke held his head in frustration and tried to explain to the referee, but it was all in vain. The referee still maintained the original decision.
Rosicky took the free kick. Perhaps Van Dijk wanted to make up for it too much, so he jumped extremely high and blocked Rosicky's shot with his head.
And Van Dijk was also injured in the corner of his eye by the football, and he was bleeding profusely. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a bloody battle.
He also fully explained what the "Iron-Blooded Blues" is. He only briefly dealt with it on the sidelines and then appeared again. He also received applause and encouragement from the Stamford Bridge fans.
In the 53rd minute, Turnbull kicked the ball with a big kick, and the ball was headed back to Chelsea's half near the center circle by the opponent's center back Djurou.
Walcott quickly took the ball and broke into Chelsea's penalty area.
From a prime position 12 yards away from the goal, he volleyed with his right foot. The ball flew straight into the net like a cannonball, and the score became 1:1.
"The ball went in!"
"Walcott!"
"The score was equalized and both sides returned to the same starting line."
"Huh? We saw Chelsea players protesting around the referee, and the live replay was uploaded immediately."
"This goal is very crucial. If it scores, Arsenal will equalize the score and the game will return to the starting point."
"Well, yes, if we don't score, then Chelsea will still be in the lead, and Arsenal will need to continue to strengthen their offensive."
"The video has been sent over, let's take a look."
"Hey! At the moment when Djurou headed the ball, Bendtner was indeed in an offside position and started to run back."
"Although Bendtner did not actually touch the ball, his run back clearly blocked Chelsea defender Van Aanholt."
"Van Aanholt's speed and reaction are very fast, so he should have no problem chasing Walcott."
"This should be regarded as Bendtner's blocking, which prevented him from chasing Walcott in time. This allowed Walcott to easily receive the ball and shoot the goal."
"The referee Marriner thought about this goal for a long time. We saw that he also discussed it with the linesman and the fourth official."
"It seems that the referee is also watching the video replay."
"The referee blew his whistle and pointed his finger at the center circle. This goal is valid! Arsenal equalized the score."
"Although this goal is indeed controversial, the most important thing is whether Bendtner participated in the attack after returning from the offside position. However, after discussing with other referees and watching the live video, the referee still determined that the goal was valid."
"There will indeed be many unforeseen situations on the court. Chelsea's young players should not lose their mentality because of this penalty."
"This is also Xiao Yu's first game as captain. I hope it won't affect his mentality."
"We see that Xiao Yu is already calling his teammates to return to their positions quickly and the game continues."
The decision was controversial as some felt Bendtner's running back affected the outcome of the game.
This goal was a blow to Chelsea.
They had controlled the game, but now they were equalized by their opponents.
They had to readjust their tactics and mentality to cope with the coming games.
Chelsea quickly changed their style of play, and Ancelotti immediately adjusted the team's tactics to make the players pay more attention to defense.
In the new tactics, Xiao Yu positioned himself further back on the court and required the players to cooperate more closely to prevent the opponent from scoring again.
The game became more intense and intense as the score was tied.
Both sides tried their best to win the game.
Fans also cheer for their teams, creating a very lively atmosphere.
Xiao Yu retreated to the midfield. He, Toni Kroos and De Bruyne also made Chelsea's young tank run in a three-core state for the first time.
The effect also appeared quickly.
In the 59th minute, Xiao Yu retreated to the center circle to get the ball.
The moment he got the ball in the center circle, Xiao Yu first shook his body subtly, cleverly deceiving Rosicky and making the opponent mistakenly think that he was going to break through to the right.
When Rosicky's body tilted to the right involuntarily, Xiao Yu quickly flashed to the left like a cheetah.
Rosicky was left alone, his eyes filled with helplessness and surprise.
Immediately facing Estmund's defense, Xiao Yu did not confront him head-on, but cleverly took advantage of the opponent's footwork.
He seemed to be able to predict every move of Estmond, and each time he flashed past him just before the opponent was about to block it, leaving Estmond unable to make any move and could only watch Xiao Yu helplessly. Passed by him.
Koscielny is the strictest of the three, and his defense is watertight.
