"However, it is still a bit more difficult to overthrow Chelsea at Stamford Bridge."
"I think so. Ancelotti said in his pre-match press conference that he would try his best to win and qualify early so as to prepare for the devilish schedule of the league ahead."
"Let's first pay attention to the starting lineups of the two teams."
"Well, okay, Chelsea's starting formation for this game is still 4-3-3.

The two central defender partners are No. 33 Alex and No. 6 Van Dijk.
Left back No. 3 Ashley Cole,
Right back No. 2 Ivanovic,
No. 16 Ramirez in the defensive midfield position,
The two attacking midfielders are No. 10 Toni Kroos and No. 13 De Bruyne.
Left forward No. 39 Anelka,
Right forward No. 7 Xiao Yu,
The center at the front is No. 11 "Warcraft" Drogba, who has returned from suspension. "
“Spartak Moscow’s formation today is still 4-2-3-1.

They appeared in the starting lineup of such an important game under the age of 20, which also shows that Ancelotti's boldness. After all, young players are a double-edged sword.

Beep! ~
The referee Cakir from Turkey blew the whistle to start the game.
Spartak Moscow took the lead as a guest at Stamford Bridge.
The captain on the field today is Drogba. After the opponent kicked off, he rushed forward and almost intercepted the ball from Alex's feet.
Fortunately, Williton cooperated in passing the ball in time, and the Spartans avoided the embarrassing situation of losing the ball right after the kickoff.
However, Sparta still didn't have the ball for more than a minute. When Sparta started the offensive, Ibson's pass to McGrady was predicted in advance by Ashley Cole, who made a pass. The ball was won.
Chelsea immediately went on the offensive.
After Ashley Cole dribbled the ball across the center line, he passed the ball to Toni Cross. Cross, based on the route he observed in advance, dispatched the football to the right side of the court with a diagonal kick.
Xiao Yu on the right jumped high to catch the ball. Facing Markiev's defense, he stepped on his bicycle several times in a row and suddenly pulled back. Markiev did not dare to neglect and immediately followed up.
But in the next step, Xiao Yu pushed the ball forward again, using the rapid change of rhythm to get rid of Markiev's defense, and then passed the ball to Drogba.
Drogba jumped high. The Spartan team's central defender combination did not have an obvious advantage in height. They could only have some influence on Drogba in their ground movements, but Drogba still grabbed the first place. Pointed and completed a powerful header, but unfortunately it did not hit the goal frame.
In the first minute of the opening, Chelsea completed their first shot, which also announced to their opponents that they would go all out to attack in this game.
In the 4th minute, Anelka was brought down by the opponent in front of the penalty area. Xiao Yu and Toni Kroos stood in front of the penalty spot at the same time. Kroos took the lead. What the Spartan defense did not expect was that he took a free kick. It went directly to the goal. Unfortunately, Drogba was interfered by the opponent's defender and missed the chance to attack the goal from close range.
Regarding Xiao Yu's "Full Moon Scimitar" free kick in the last league game, the Spartans also made special defensive arrangements. They just saw a defender standing in the goal and decided to take Kroos. Passed.
