Immediately afterwards, Chelsea began to organize an offensive.
Toni Kroos used clever passing and movement to try to find holes in Newcastle's defence.
Soon Drogba received a through ball from De Bruyne. He tried to hit the goal, but the ball hit the defender.
Although this attack failed to score, it also told Newcastle's defense that Chelsea was not easy to deal with despite the absence of the general.
Newcastle seized the opportunity to fight back.
They moved quickly through the midfield, trying to find holes in Chelsea's defense with quick passes.
However, their shot ultimately failed to form a threatening attack and was successfully intercepted by Van Dijk.
He handed the ball to Toni Kroos, who continued to control the situation.
Suddenly a long pass found Xiao Yu on the left. Xiao Yu received the ball and accelerated the dribble past Simpson, and then suddenly passed the ball in an inverted triangle to Malouda in front of the penalty area.
Malouda, a Chelsea attacking midfielder, attempted a long-range shot, but the ball sailed high and out of bounds.
In the 3rd minute, Newcastle attacked again, and this time they finally hit the ball inside the goal frame.
However, Cech, as Chelsea's goalkeeper, showed excellent reaction speed and skills. He steadily caught Ameobi's shot and kept the goal.
In the 5th minute, Toni Kroos continued to control the situation on the court. When he was steadily driving the ball forward, he found a gap and suddenly made a diagonal pass. Anelka quickly inserted on the right and kicked the goal. , but the ball hit the side netting.
Although the goal was not scored, it still made Newcastle fans break out in a cold sweat. This guy named Tony was really tricky at passing the ball, but Chelsea actually had Kevin. This was really a headache.
After Anelka missed the opportunity, he gave a thumbs up to Toni Kroos with a helpless expression. Kroos passed the ball without any problem, but he ran too slowly.
Anelka was also questioning himself in his mind, whether he was really old...
Subsequently, the situation on the field changed dramatically.
Chelsea made a fatal mistake in the backcourt.
Newcastle's Gutierrez made a long diagonal pass to find their forward, but the ball was intercepted by Alex in advance. However, Carroll's press was already in front of him.
Alex made a hasty decision and passed the ball back to Cech in front of the goal.
However, Alex seemed not to notice Cech's attack. When he passed the ball, the football just slipped past Cech's attack.
This mistake made Carroll, who came up to press, decisively accept the "gift" and chase after him without hesitation, then pushed the ball into the empty goal and scored the ball steadily.
"Ah! This, this, this, this..."
"Newcastle scored first!"
"Carroll, this ball was a huge mistake."
"Alex didn't expect this, and Cech didn't expect it either."
"In fact, even Carroll who scored the goal didn't expect it."
"It felt like pie in the sky. All Carroll had to do was open his mouth and he scored."
"This mistake is really inappropriate."
"It stands to reason that Alex is also a veteran. Although he has not played many appearances for the Brazilian national team, he has not played many games at Chelsea. I really don't know how to explain such a mistake."
"Cech should also shout."
"Hey! I feel like even if Cech shouted, Alex wouldn't be able to listen at that moment."
"That's right, no matter what, Newcastle currently leads the defending champion Chelsea 1:0 with Carroll's miss."
"Have you noticed that Chelsea has been behind at the start of four consecutive games?"
"This is also the biggest disadvantage of a weak waist. You see, when Essien was here, Chelsea got the start many times."
"Yes, the defensive midfielder position is indeed crucial. It depends on what moves Abramovich will make in this winter transfer window."
This conceded goal was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Chelsea team, and the morale of the players seemed to have hit rock bottom instantly.
The Newcastle team was more confident because of this goal, and the whole team was full of motivation.
They began to attack more aggressively, trying to expand the score.
Captain Drogba also ran to the backcourt and patted Alex on the back to express comfort. No one wanted to lose the ball.
Cech did not complain about Alex, but also gave him a high-five and said with a smile: "I don't want to do it again!"
"No way!"
Alex smiled awkwardly.
He knew very well that his mistake would bring a huge blow to the team.
But Xiao Yu ran over and said something to him, but he was confused.
"Brother, stay focused. I'm going to get the score back."
After that, Xiao Yu ran to the center line to wait for the kick-off.
As referee Marina blew the whistle, Drogba kicked the ball out and the football came steadily to the feet of Toni Kroos.
Toni Kroos, the future midfield master of Real Madrid, without thinking after receiving the ball, directly passed the ball diagonally in the direction of Xiao Yu.
I don't know when, Xiao Yu has rushed to Newcastle's half. He is like a light swallow, catching the ball in the air and landing perfectly.
Then he stepped over the ball with his right leg, pulled the ball towards the center with his left foot, quickly broke through Routledge's defense, and then fired a powerful and heavy long-range shot without hesitation.
For this shot, he used the must-goal card.
The corner of Xiao Yu's mouth rose after he completed the shot, because he knew that the goal was Dongfeng Express and the mission would be fulfilled.
Newcastle's defenders looked at this shot in disbelief. They didn't understand that Xiao Yu, who was favored by so many people, was like this?
An aimless long shot?
But at this time Krul in front of the goal didn't think so. Seeing the football flying towards the goal, he sighed deeply and fought hard to save it in the direction of the football.
However, the football seemed to be alive at this time. It cleverly bypassed his hand and flew straight into the net.
"Oops! The ball went in!"
"Xiao Yu tied the score!"
"Oh my god!"
"This is another stunning world wave."
"We can see that Krul tried his best, but Xiao Yu's long shot drew an S-shaped trajectory, which made it difficult for him to deal with it."
"This is not just a technical issue, I even think there may be some metaphysical factors involved."
"Maybe, Alex might have been praying silently in his heart just now."
"This scene is really shocking. From Chelsea's mistake and goal to Xiao Yu's world-famous goal, it took less than a minute. It's really amazing."
"The ball was only 37 yards away from the goal. When the goalkeeper made a full save, its trajectory suddenly changed and passed through the bottom of the net with eerie precision."
"It's incredible."
