Toni Kroos, whose calmness contrasted sharply with De Bruyne's anger.
But his actions were unambiguous. He quickly rushed to the side to block the Newcastle players, obviously not wanting any further changes in the conflict.
And Drogba, his presence is a deterrent.
He did not rush directly to the opponent like De Bruyne and Kroos, but slowly approached and used his powerful aura to oppress the opponent.
His eyes were cold, as if he could see through the opponent's heart, making the opponent feel pressure invisibly.
The referee also ran over immediately. He wanted to avoid a conflict in time.
…
"Damage reflective shin guards 2/6."
The moment he fell to the ground, a system prompt sounded in Xiao Yu's mind.
The damage-reflecting shin guards played their role at the critical moment, reducing the impact damage to Xiao Yu.
But even so, Xiao Yu still felt a sharp pain when he fell down on the grass.
What's even more shocking is that Gusri lost his balance after the tackle and actually hit Xiao Yu's sole with his crotch.
Just imagining such a collision makes people shudder.
The referee obviously had reservations about this tackle from behind and only showed a yellow card.
"Is it just a yellow card?"
"There may be something wrong with this penalty."
"But we see that Guthrie can no longer stand up."
"Yes, it's heartbreaking to think about a man being hit in that position."
"It seems like red cards and yellow cards are the same."
"Hey! He can't continue playing anyway."
Such a penalty caused extreme dissatisfaction with Ancelotti. He immediately went to the fourth official to argue and demanded a fair penalty.
Although Guthrie did not receive a red card, his game came to an end due to "close contact" with Xiao Yu's sole.
Xiao Yu looked at the changes on the field and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This damage-reflecting shin guard is really cruel. Such a reflection will not break Gusri's roots. This guy seems to be only in his early twenties. .
"how are you feeling?"
De Bruyne hurriedly helped Xiao Yu up and asked with concern on his face.
"Phew! It really hurts."
Xiao Yu exhaled and rubbed his elbows gently. He had fallen hard just now. In order to protect himself, he landed on his elbows.
"How is your leg? Is it injured? Or is it injured somewhere?"
De Bruyne asked anxiously, while reaching out to pull up Xiao Yu's socks.
"It's okay! It's really okay! Don't take it off!"
Seeing that De Bruyne seemed to be taking off his socks, Xiao Yu quickly said that he was not injured.
In fact, this is also the case. He has the protection of damage-reflective shin guards. Apart from the fact that there is no way to avoid pain when he falls, it can protect himself from any injuries.
At this time, the team doctor also rushed over. After carefully examining Xiao Yu, he just praised Xiao Yu for knowing how to protect himself and avoiding the vital parts when he fell.
The treatment was completed by spraying pain relief spray on his knees and elbows.
Newcastle had no choice but to make substitutions.
Because Guthrie's situation was completely unexpected, head coach Hughton did not expect it before the game, which led him to only bring him and not the midfielder to the substitute list.
Considering the importance of subsequent defensive tasks, he had to choose to replace Guthrie, who was no longer able to stand up, with local defender Page.
Of course, before Page came on the field, Hughton also seriously told him to continue to implement the key points of the "folded feather" tactic.
In the 61st minute, Xiao Yu once again pulled to the outside of the penalty area, received De Bruyne's pass, and suddenly shot a long shot.
However, the football hit Campbell on the arm and was stopped.
Drogba in the penalty area immediately raised his hand to signal referee Campbell for a handball foul and a penalty kick was required.
However, the referee Marina continued to run away with an innocent look on his face, without any intention of calling a penalty.
This also allowed Newcastle to temporarily escape disaster.
Just a minute later, Malouda tried another long shot from outside the penalty area, but the football was firmly caught by goalkeeper Krul.
Krul had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately launched a big kick to counterattack.
Carroll, Newcastle's only remaining offensive player in the frontcourt, reacted quickly and rushed forward like a cheetah in action.
Due to the long-term pressing attack, Chelsea's defense line has almost passed the center line at this moment.
In their backcourt, only one defender, Alex, was defending.
This can't help but give Carroll a huge psychological advantage over Alex. After all, it was him who forced Alex to make a mistake in the first half and was able to miss a goal.
Moreover, as a young and powerful man, he also has a slight advantage in speed and body. When he receives the ball, he wants to eat Alex alive with his speed.
However, when he moved the ball to the left, a long leg suddenly appeared beside him.
Van Dyke rushed back in time, saw Carroll holding the football up, and immediately stepped forward to block his position.
This was a standard defensive move, but it angered Carroll, who was full of fantasies that he was going to score again.
You know, if he scores this goal, they can equalize the score. The task assigned by the head coach today is to maintain a tie and win. As long as he goes over and faces the goalkeeper alone, he will have 90% confidence that he can score the goal.
But now, all these illusions are shattered because of the guy in front of him with an ugly pigtail.
Carroll was so angry that he suddenly pushed with his hands. Van Dyke lost his center of gravity and fell to the grass and rolled.
Beep! ~
The referee was right in front of him, and he couldn't help but call the ball.
Referee Marriner took out a yellow card from his pocket with a serious face and showed it to Carroll.
Carol just woke up now, he couldn't believe what he had done.
He quickly explained humbly to the referee, hoping that the referee could take back the yellow card, but it was a foregone conclusion, and Marriner also recorded his name on the referee card.
As the saying goes, wasted opportunities are punished.
After this defense, Chelsea also retreated their line under Ancelotti's arrangement, and even Drogba retreated to near the center circle.
This is the Chinese art of war - inviting you to enter the urn.
And this is also a conspiracy. After all, it is Newcastle who are lagging behind now. Chelsea shrinks their formation and chooses to defend. Naturally, they cannot continue to huddle in front of the goal with a bus.
If this continues, the winner will still be Chelsea.
Therefore, Newcastle players chose to attack.
The situation on the field suddenly changed. The Blues, who had been suppressing Newcastle and bombarding them at the beginning of the second half, now set up a bus in their own penalty area.
Ancelotti seems to want to show Hughton that Chelsea are the experts.
Carroll also wanted to prove himself very much, going back and forth inside and outside Chelsea's penalty area many times, but Chelsea's bus arrangement was indeed more strict than Newcastle's.
It has three layers inside, three layers outside, three layers in the middle and three layers in the middle.
