Less than 20 minutes into the game, West Ham opened the scoring and changed the balance of the game.

Carlo Ancelotti stood quietly on the sidelines, feeling distressed, and in the summer transfer window, he asked the team to keep Ballack, but the team's top brass did not agree.

The Chelsea hierarchy don't want too many veterans to be left behind, and with seven players including Joe Cole, Ballack and Deco already released in the summer, and fewer than five players have been added, Abou's interest in Chelsea seems to be declining.

'Ballack has a huge role to play, his playmaking skills, and there are no players in the team who can replace him at the moment. Ancelotti muttered, "I didn't expect Ballack to turn his head directly to West Ham, and Jiangshan's move to buy players is really accurate and ruthless." From now on, West Ham are no longer easy to deal with. ”

Jiang Shan was slightly proud, and he really made the right move to buy Barak. Ballack can provide experience and championship temperament to the team, and his organisational skills are great, and although his fitness and frequency are gradually slowing, he has no problem holding on to the high intensity of the half-time.

At the moment, Ballack also scored.

If he wins this game, Ballack will have earned back the ticket price for West Ham. Beating the defending champions was enough to keep West Ham at the top of the table for a while.

Barak celebrated and the game continued.

Chelsea's hard-bridged style of play made West Ham a little uncomfortable, and they were a little unprepared against a menacing opponent, with both sides having chances to score.

With a big wave of his hand, the player retreated slightly, tightened the control of the midfield, and entangled Chelsea with the rapid flow of the ball. Modric was originally behind the striker, but at this time he stepped back and became one of the midfielders.

However, the team's control in central midfield has been greatly strengthened, and Bale, who has been left in front, frequently pushes up the front line and threatens opponents with his speed.

Lewandowski also retreated, easily acting as a bridgehead, making the ball to control the rhythm, quite the style of a general.

Chelsea's style is very tough, if this wave of people is still in their prime, it will be absolutely difficult to deal with, in the 2009 Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona won Chelsea, but also rely on the referee to help. But after a few years, this group of players is getting old, going away, and the toughness is gradually declining.

Carlo Ancelotti quickly changed tactics and Frank Lampard stepped up and lurked behind Drogba to intensify his long-range shots.

Both sides entered a scorching tug-of-war and could find opportunities, but neither could find a goal. Essien and Mikel formed a strong midfield, strangled the combination of Luka Modric and Kroos, and Parker's technique was a little rougher and he couldn't get enough opportunities to perform.

In the face of two iron bulls, West Ham will find it difficult to tear apart the opponent's defence.

Jiang Shan's tactical arrangement today is obviously to use Bale's speed to unexpectedly play the middle and achieve success, and now Chelsea have reacted, Bale's performance has been contained, and after the central defense has been raised to the next level, it will be difficult to work immediately.

"Damn, one was stolen by Jiangshan. Today's tactical set-up, I actually lost. Ancelotti saw that the team had stabilized, and the frustration finally eased a little.

gave him a hundred hearts, but he never imagined that Jiangshan would focus on the middle, so he arranged heavy troops on the side defense, and this time he suffered.

Carlo Ancelotti was smart and saw that he couldn't penetrate the middle, so he changed his strategy and strengthened his attack on the wings, with Malouda and Anelka frequently attacking West Ham's two wings.

Bynes faced a speed-type player who couldn't keep up with him as long as he picked the wrong position, and he was careful to pass the opponent's half a lot less. But he still couldn't withstand Malouda's impact, there was no one in front of him to top it, and his pressure was too great.

Malouda smashes into the edge of the box, cuts inside, faces Kroos, eats hard with his body, crazy guy.

Chelsea's front-court cooperation, simple and clean, bold movements, West Ham's players can not compare with the body, there are not many ways.

Drogba gritted his teeth, "I have to prove myself in front of Jiangshan, and I can't let the teacher look down on me." ”

He took a step back, stopped the ball on his chest, and the ball fell to the ground, and before he could get up, he was brought to the ground by Cahill, who had stepped up, and gave the opponent a set-piece.

Jiang Shan is speechless, this Cahill, the style is still left in the simple violence of Bolton's time? Jiang Shan has not beaten the back line less, during this time, the back line has improved a lot, but compared with mature teams, it is still not enough.

In training, he has a new arrangement for all the players' on-field tasks, the training ground is divided into many areas, everyone has to deal with the situation in the area, and even the technical movements of each player, there are clear requirements.

It's just too difficult, they have a long time to get used to, Hummels has been in contact with it before, his confidence has grown quickly, and he is now a contender for the main position.

The two England internationals, the ball quotient is not high enough, the adaptation is not so fast, Upton accepts the slowest, he does not move fast enough, often uses his body to force the forward, and when he encounters a flexible player, he will definitely die. Cahill has progressed, but occasionally short-circuits his head.

No, in the face of Drogba, his brain pumped, and he actually put the opponent down in this position.

The first half of the game is almost over, and you give the other side such a good chance, Cahill, what do you want me to say? Jiang Shan felt a lot of slander in his heart, and there was Hummels' interception behind him, and Cahill's actions were a little too fierce.

Standing on the wall, Drogba appeared in front of the ball and he had to take the set-piece he created.

With Malouda and Nicolas Anelka lurking in the wall up front, there are plenty of points to pick up and with both of Chelsea's centre-backs capable of heading in goal, putting West Ham's defence under pressure.

In the West Ham team, the two central defenders are of good height, but the midfielders are of average height, and there is a lot of pressure when defending set-pieces in the Premier League, which is full of tall people.

Sure enough, Drogba seized the opportunity and the ball flew over Parker's head, whirring.

"Bang ......"

Green judged the right direction and flew out sideways, but unfortunately, his fingers were much shorter and he couldn't touch the ball, which hit the post and grazed the post into the net.

Just before half-time, Chelsea equalised to make it 1-1 and the two sides were back on the same page.

Drogba roared and smashed his chest, he began to suffer from hernia at the end of last season, his form has declined, and his status in the team has been questioned, and now that he has recovered a little, it is natural to show crazy energy.

Jiang Shan was a little helpless, this demonic beast was cultivated by him with great effort back then, and Essien in the midfield, tossing and turning, or returned to where they should be.

Carlo Ancelotti was pleased with the performance of his team at this stage and could easily beat West Ham when the momentum came up.

Jiang Shan did not ask for an attack, and in the last few minutes, he just spent it peacefully, and at halftime, he had to make adjustments.

"Control the pace." Jiang Shan shouted to Barak. Ballack was already a little tired, the intensity of the game was too much, and in his current form, he was still a little overwhelmed.
