    When the melodious whistle sounded in the sky above St. James' Park, Drogba tapped the ball, passed it to Ibrahimovic, and then accelerated forward.

    When Ibrahimovic passed the ball back, Ribery and Nie Fei on both wings also accelerated at the same time, running towards Chelsea's half like two sharp knives.

    Essien received the ball and stopped it at his feet for a moment. Seeing that Chelsea forward Toni had rushed into Newcastle's half to press, he turned around and passed the ball back to Lucio behind him.

    Lucio stopped the ball at his feet, looked up to observe the situation in front, then raised his feet and passed the ball long.

    The ball quickly crossed the half court and flew towards the left wing where Ribery was sprinting!

    Deco planned to jump up and hit the ball, but maybe because the game had just started and he hadn¡¯t warmed up enough, Deco¡¯s judgment on the ball was biased. Although he jumped up, he didn¡¯t hit the ball!

    The ball fell smoothly two meters in front of Ribery. Ribery did not need to stop his body and easily extended his foot to cushion the ball.

    Faced with such a rapid impact from Ribery, Johnson safely chose the strategy of fighting and retreating. This is quite wise. With Ribery's speed, if Johnson rushed forward rashly and was escaped by Ribery, Chelsea would be  On the right wing, there will no longer be anyone who can stop Ribery.

    Ribery¡¯s speed and impact are even greater than Nie Fei¡¯s. If Ribery had not been injured midway through the second round of the Champions League, Newcastle might not have been eliminated due to weak offense.

    Although Johnson took the safest approach, Ribery still did not slow down his speed. In the high-speed breakthrough, his ability to control the ball was fully demonstrated. Johnson, who was inferior in speed, looked embarrassed under his impact.  .

    After using his speed and skills to make Johnson lose his center of gravity, Ribery cleverly used a crotch pass to get rid of Johnson's defense. Johnson turned around and wanted to foul, but his center of gravity had been shaken by Ribery just now.  He was staggering, and when he managed to turn around, his foot slipped.  He fell down on the lawn in a very embarrassed state.

    Ribery, who was no longer defending, caught up with the ball and then made a sideways movement and began to break towards the goal!

    There were cheers like a landslide and tsunami in the stands. No one, including the Newcastle fans, could have expected that Newcastle would create an excellent opportunity at the beginning.

    Chelsea's defense was not messy at all - the Premier League's best defense was indeed well-deserved. Carvalho immediately moved to the right to fill in, while Terry quickly targeted Drogba who ran from outside the penalty area.  La also moved a little to the center, ready to fill in at any time. At the same time, he did not give up his defense against Nie Fei who came up from the right.  lei

    Because Newcastle¡¯s raid was too fast, in addition to Drogba and Nie Fei rushing forward from the beginning, they reached a position that could threaten Chelsea¡¯s goal.  Even Ibrahimovic failed to catch up with this attack until Ibrahimovic and others arrived at their position.  Chelsea's midfielders are probably about to return to defense.

    After Ribery rushed into the penalty area, he had to slow down.

    In the penalty area, it is the world of outstanding defenders like Carvalho, in a small space.  Ribery's speed is not put to much use.

    Although compared with Ribery.  Carvalho seemed a bit clumsy, but in the penalty area, his clumsiness was enough to restrain Ribery's dexterity.

    Ribery pulled the ball back and forth a few times, finally found a gap, and quickly passed the ball into the penalty area with his right foot!

    "It's too close to the goalkeeper!" Lawrenson sighed: "Drogba can't hit this kind of ball, what a pity!"

    Just when everyone thought Newcastle's raid after the opening would end, the ball passed by Ribery suddenly drew an arc in the air and fell diagonally towards the back of the goal!

    "Thisis not a pass! This is a shot!"

    Just when Lineker cried out, Cudicini also judged that Ribery's kick was actually a low-angle shot.  Just now, in order to block Ribery's shot into the near corner, he stood closer!

    The Italian goalkeeper did not panic, but quickly took a few steps back, then jumped up with all his strength, reaching for the ball!

    Cudicini moves very quickly.  When he jumps up.  It happened to be when the ball hit the intersection of the crossbar and the post behind the goal!

    After feeling his finger touch the ball, Cudicini immediately pushed the ball upwards.  Then the whole person fell down.

    The ball he held up jumped upwards, landed on top of the crossbar, and then bounced off the baseline.

      "What a pity! Newcastle almost scored a goal in less than a minute of the opening minute! But Cudicini made a wonderful save and narrowly missed the ball over the crossbar! Benitez should be lucky.  , If Reina, who is taller and not as fast as Cudicini, could have scored, the ball might have been scored!"

    There was also a huge sigh in the stands, followed by thunderous applause. Although Ribery's shot failed to score, it was really inspiring!

    Nie Fei took a corner kick and Ibrahimovic succeeded in grabbing the point from behind, but unfortunately the ball went over the crossbar.

    After these two attacks, Newcastle's attacks were like an endless stream, while Chelsea began to fall into passivity, unable to organize an effective counterattack for a while, and could only passively be beaten in the half court.

    Benitez is not too worried about this situation, because Chelsea, like Newcastle, is not afraid of being beaten by opponents at all. As long as there are sufficient manpower in the backcourt, it will be difficult for the opponent to use their stable and orderly defensive system.  There are too many opportunities.

    And with Tony as a beacon in the frontcourt, an impactful winger like Duff, and a counterattack player with excellent skills and speed like Robben, perhaps all it takes is a long pass from the backcourt to turn the situation around.

    In the two rounds of the Champions League, Newcastle also had a lot of offensive attacks as before, but they failed to score even a single goal in the two rounds.

    Moreover, Chelsea lacked Robben in those two games. Now that the Dutch Peter Pan is on the court, Chelsea will definitely not be able to fight back. Besides, Newcastle's current offensive cannot last too long.  Time.

    But as time passed, Benitez¡¯s brows frowned tightly.

    Newcastle's offensive not only did not weaken, but also tended to strengthen. On the contrary, Chelsea, who was fully defensive, began to be unable to resist. Newcastle had three extremely threatening shots in five minutes, one of which was Drogba's head.  The ball had already passed Cudicini's hand. If Terry hadn't struggled to save the situation in front of the goal, Newcastle might have successfully taken the lead!

    Soon, Benitez discovered the problem.

    Most of Newcastle's attacks are concentrated on the left, which is Chelsea's right. Ribery is in good condition in this game, as if he is trying to vent all his injuries from the Champions League. Johnson is not at all.  His opponent, coupled with Bernard's intervention and Nie Fei sometimes running to the left to join in the fun, forced Duff to retreat to help defend. Without one wing, Chelsea's counterattack threat was reduced.  A lot, making Newcastle's offense even more unscrupulous.

    Now that the problem has been discovered, Benitez will naturally solve it.

    "Harvey!"

    When the ball went out of bounds, Benitez called Alonso and gave him a few words. Alonso nodded. After returning to the court, he appeared more on the left to assist in defense.  With Johnson, Alonso and Duff returning to defense, Chelsea's left wing began to stabilize and began to seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

    "He noticed it." Pei Wei said to Mourinho off the court.

    "There's something wrong. He shouldn't have noticed it so late." Mourinho frowned: "And he didn't seem to have thought that we might be using this to improve the defense in the air. I would have done it if I changed him.  I thought, but his on-the-spot judgment ability is still better than mine.¡±

    Pei Wei smiled but did not answer.

    Mourinho glanced at him and thought of what happened just now: "Is it because you greeted him just now and distracted him? He didn't want Abramovich to doubt him? You didn't plan to use a divorce plan.  It¡¯s not just that he wants to cause a little trouble for Abramovich, but he also wants to distract Rafael so that he can¡¯t concentrate on directing the gameright?¡±

    Pei Wei snapped his fingers and laughed softly: "All hits!"

    "You are so good, you can take advantage of this." Mourinho is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Pei Wei distracting Benitez in this way. After all,  The two sides are now enemies, and any means can be used, as long as it is not outside the rules of the game. However, for Mourinho, if he has to rely on Pei Wei by his side to create a victory over Bennett,  If Si had the opportunity, then he would still feel a little uncomfortable.

    "This is nothing, I am just maximizing any advantage we have Besides, I am also extremely eager for this league championship and the historical sense of accomplishment of creating the first championship in 78 years.  In this regard, you and I,¡± he pointed at Mourinho, ¡°and them,Pointing to the Newcastle players on the field: "They and the Newcastle fans in the stands have the same desire. I value this league championship even more than the Champions League championship."  "

    "You're right." Mourinho nodded: "This is a war, and we must take advantage of any favorable factorsRaphael, I am absolutely confident to defeat you now! Because you are by my side  , have the most important comrades!¡±
