Chapter 146 Premier League Years A Yellow Card

Drogba knocked the ball to Xiangnan, Xiangnan took a step forward, and when Kranjca came up to press, he passed the ball back to Joe Cole behind him.

LS Nadiarra and Padro Mendes immediately rushed towards Chelsea No. 10 like two bodyguards. Joe Cole kept flipping the ball back and forth. , with a tap of his heel, the ball landed at Ballack's feet.

After the German took two steps, he knocked the ball to Joe Cole who came to ask for the ball.

Joe Cole passes the ball to Ashley Cole on the wing --
...

There was a loud boo from the Pompeii fans in the stands.In the opening three minutes, Chelsea back and forth in their midfield, Portsmouth did not even touch the ball.

Not only Portsmouth fans, but even Chelsea fans have never seen such a Chelsea team. In the impression of the fans, their own team is as open and close as a tough team, with such skills school.Not the team's forte.

The director pointed the camera at the two head coaches on the sidelines. Grant sat on the coach's bench with a leisurely expression on his face, as if he had a plan in his chest; while the old Redknapp frowned slightly, obviously, The old coach did not expect Chelsea to adopt such a style of play, and the head coach of Portsmouth is also considering countermeasures.

In the 5th minute of the game, the Portsmouth team finally touched the ball. Ironically, after 5 minutes of the game, the Portsmouth player who touched the ball for the first time was actually their goalkeeper James.

Ashley Cole made a through ball to Joe Cole's feet, Chelsea's midfield engine, a direct and concealed pass, and the ball was passed to the middle of the penalty area——
At this moment, Xiang Nan, like a leopard ready to go, suddenly exerted his strength, and in a blink of an eye, he advanced from outside the big penalty area to the vicinity of the small penalty area. The Portsmouth right back was about to intercept Joe Cole's pass. Glenn Johnson suddenly felt a blue figure pressing towards him behind him, and then felt the pressure around him. The ball that was about to be broken by himself was tackled and shot by the long legs behind him— —
The huge kinetic energy was transformed into a strong speed. The ball flew towards the goal of Portsmouth with almost a strange arc. Because the speed was too fast, the arc was not easy to control. The idea under the body is also to avoid dropping the ball.James turned sideways directly and saved the ball to the bottom line.

"Wow wow wow - wow -"

"Wow-wow-wow-"

There was a neat applause from the stands, not only for Xiangnan who shot the goal, but also for James' beautiful save.

"Beautiful! Andre!! The shot is beautiful. The running position between him and Joe Cole is very tacit, and the pass is very concealed. Of course, James' save is also very smart, which makes De Roba returned without success."

Uh... Believe James, he must not like Mr. Wilson's praise. Isn't it obvious that the former England goalkeeper is easy to let go? !

Joe Cole's corner kick was snatched by Drogba. A beautiful lion from the Ivorian shook his head, and the ball slid to the left post of the goal and missed the baseline.

This also made the old Portsmouth coach Redknapp restless for a while. Chelsea's two forwards are in great condition. No, it should be said that the entire Chelsea offensive centerline is performing well.

The movement between Joe Cole and Xiangnan, as well as Drogba's wide-ranging movements, have made Portsmouth's defense tight, not to mention, there are two long-range shooting masters Ballack and Lampard up.

The Portsmouth people, who were completely suppressed by Chelsea in the half, had almost no good chances to attack. This also made Ugandan striker John Utaka in the frontcourt and England fringe international David Nugent almost unstoppable. It was just a decoration, and the two without midfield support, even after getting the ball, faced the world-class defense of Terry and Carvalho, they were powerless.

"Nico!! Attack!! Take advantage of your breakthrough!!" Old Redknapp yelled at the Croatian Kranjcar from the sidelines. As Portsmouth's offensive hub, Kranjcar You must show your performance.

"Herman Herraderson, show me that damned No. 9, don't let him get the ball easily!!" Old Redknapp pointed to the south and shouted. Come on, it's hard to say whether Kranjcar can break through the defense of Essien and Makelele, but we must limit Xiangnan's breakthrough and pulling in the frontcourt.

'If, I have an Andre too...'

Uh...God testifies, looking at the black-haired blue No. 9 in the stadium, the old coach couldn't help but feel a little flirtatious...

However, to be honest, everyone on the earth knows, which head coach would not want to have a striker like Xiang Nan?

According to "Gazzetta dello Sport", AC Milan head coach Ancelotti was full of praise for Xiang Nan when he was interviewed by "Gazzetta dello Sport" reporter Miss Alice. Meaning to San Siro...

Uh... this... You know, half a year ago, Mr. Ancelotti had no interest in Xiang Nan, a kid who had just entered Serie A...

Herman Herdalsen was obviously very dissatisfied with being reprimanded by the old Redknapp for no reason. You must know that the threatening shot to the south was completed at the feet of Glenn Johnson, and Hull himself Uncle Manherdarson has nothing to do with it.

However, no matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, Herman Herdalsen didn't dare to show it to his head coach. In Portsmouth, the old Redknapp was the absolute authority and opposed the old coach. There is only one end, and that is——
It's ugly to die for! !

Therefore, Herman Herdalsen vented all her grievances and dissatisfaction on Xiang Nan, who caused her to be scolded. With his big mouth with obvious bad breath, he chattered endlessly beside Xiang Nan——
'Andre the brat! !Be careful with your right leg, if you dare to step half a step into the restricted area, I will give you a good look! ! '

Uh... Xiangnan can definitely ask Herman Herdalsen to watch the game between Chelsea and Arsenal, and see what happens to the Arsenal captain who also said the same thing? ! !

Facts have proved that dogs that can bite people will never bark, and, more often than not, they will not bark after biting people half to death! ! !
"Don't you know that I have a nickname called Super Andre?!!"

Well, that's Xiangnan's manly answer to Hermann Herdalsson's blatant threat.

In fact, Xiang Nan immediately told Hermann Herdalsen in a very stream-of-consciousness devotion that Chelsea No. 9 also possesses weapons of mass destruction outside the restricted area! !
After saying this, Xiang Nan received Drogba's header and took a long shot from outside the penalty area. The ball slid past the goal, scaring Portsmouth goalkeeper James into a cold sweat——
"Herman Herdalsen, what are you doing?!! Keep an eye on that damn kid!!"

Uh...God help Hermann Herdalsen, I have to say, hapless guy...

*******
19 minutes into the game, Portsmouth finally completed the most threatening counterattack since the opening.

Ballack's long-range shot from outside the box was blocked by Distin inside the box, Drogba followed up, tried to shoot another long-range shot in front of the Ivorian, a beautiful falling hook, hooked the ball away, and quickly Get up, a big foot ball to the feet of Kranjcar.

"Beautiful tackle, great performance by Muntari, now is the chance for Portsmouth to fight back!!"

Kranjcar's speed is very fast, accelerating all the way along the left, facing Makelele's approaching press, the Croatian pulls and dunks, then accelerates, cleanly shakes away the French midfielder, and then an urgent Stopped, then veered abruptly, began to accelerate——
"Dangerous, the air defense is behind, Chelsea's pressure is too forward-"

"Great job!! Nice tackle! No foul!! Andre!! Can anyone tell me how Andre got to be in that position?!!!

When Muntari intercepted the ball, launched a big foot transfer, and quickly counterattacked, Kranjcar broke through with the ball all the way. Xiangnan saw clearly in the frontcourt that the team pressed too far forward, and the backcourt , except for Makelele, who is lagging behind, there are only two central defenders, Terry and Carvalho, in the penalty area. The speed is not bad, and it can give Chelsea's defense a fatal blow at any time.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiangnan began to speed up and chase back. At the moment when Kranjcar passed Makelele and started to speed up, a tackle fell to the ground, dribbling with the ball, and the Croatian fell to the ground.

Xiang Nan's frenzied pursuit at the expense of physical strength, the behavior of this tough guy, was cheered loudly by the Blues fans, and of course, there were deafening boos from the Pompeii fans.

However, even though he was rushing for the ball, there was no malicious foul, but perhaps it was the tumbling movement of the Croatian lying on the turf that confused the referee. Yellow card! !

And gave the Portsmouth team an excellent free kick! !

Xiang Nan protested angrily to the referee Boll, the ball was definitely a good one, he knew that he did not touch Kranjcar, the Croatian was flopping! !
At this time, the big screen in the Millennium Stadium also began to play repeatedly, what happened just now...
