At the end of the first half, Birmingham drew 0-0 with Chelsea.

Both teams were not happy with the result, with Chelsea certainly looking for a win, and Birmingham City as well.

At half-time, the managers of both sides emphasised one point, and that was attack. Of course, they also emphasise defense, which is very important now, and the opponent is really too strong to give the opponent any chance.

Ancelotti also specifically instructed Terry to follow Dongfang Chen closely and not to give Dongfang Chen too much space. Carlo Ancelotti saw clearly from the sidelines that Dongfang Chen put the most pressure on the Chelsea team.

Terry nodded, he also knew how powerful Dongfang Chen was, but he didn't dare to leave Dongfang Chen for a moment, for fear that Dongfang Chen would cause trouble for the Chelsea team.

And McLeish emphasized about Drogba's defense, Drogba is a very good guy and must not be taken lightly.

Fifteen minutes passed and the players from both sides were back on the pitch for the second half of the game.

At the start of the second half, it was the Birmingham team who kicked off first.

Birmingham City stepped up their attack after kick-off, and of course they were very protective when attacking, and they didn't want to give Chelsea a chance.

The ball was at the feet of Kevin Boateng and Drogba immediately ran over like a human tank. Even a strong body like Kevin Boateng did not dare to fight Drogba, and Kevin Boateng immediately crossed the football, and the football rolled to the feet of Ji Chengyong.

Ji Chengyong immediately reversed the ball and passed the ball to Sebastian Larsson on the wing.

Sebastian Larsson didn't play well in the first half, but McLeish still didn't replace him.

Sebastian Larsson caught the ball and immediately dribbled forward, Joe Corry pounced to cut off the ball at Sebastian Larsson's feet, but he was unsuccessful and was instead deflected by a sharp change of direction by Sebastian Larsson.

Immediately after getting past Joe Cole, Sebastian Larsson raced the ball into the Chelsea half, where Chelsea midfielder Mikel pounced and full-back Branislav Ivanovic swooped in.

Sebastian Larsson was not in good form today, and he immediately sent a ball over the top to hand the ball to Dongfang Chen, who was in front of him.

However, Sebastian Larsson did not cross over the top and the ball was intercepted by Branislav Ivanovic. After intercepting the ball, Branislav Ivanovic didn't delay and passed it directly to Frank Lampard, who was dropping back.

The ball rolled straight to Lampard's feet, and Kevin Boateng immediately stuck to it and went up to block it.

However, Frank Lampard did not stop the ball, but opened his legs and leaked the ball. He then spun around and walked past Kevin Boateng, caught up with the ball before volleying directly from 30 yards from goal.

Frank Lampard had a hard toe and a very powerful long-range shot that was heard with a bang and the ball flew straight towards the Birmingham goal.

The Birmingham team immediately screamed in horror, it was simply too dangerous.

The ball was fast, but Joe Hart reacted faster as he pounced sideways, stretched out his hands straight and intercepted the flying ball, which slammed into his hands and changed direction and flew off the ground line from the outside of the left post.

"Wow! Fantastic save, Joe Hart saved the Birmingham team, fantastic goalkeeper, this is definitely the leader of the future English goalkeeper! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.

The Birmingham fans immediately cheered excitedly, giving Joe Hart a round of applause and shouting the name of Joe Hart, who was simply their hero and kept the goal intact.

Corner kick! Chelsea win another corner!

Dongfang Chen's brows furrowed, he was going to find Drogba again, Dongfang Chen immediately came to Drogba's side, Drogba saw Dongfang Chen coming, he also frowned slightly, Dongfang Chen still gave him some pressure.

Dongfang Chen came over, and he immediately clung to Drogba and didn't give Drogba any chance. Drogba naturally won't let Dongfang Chen succeed, he moved back and forth, twisting, trying to get rid of Dongfang Chen's defense. But Dongfang Chen stuck to Drogba like kraft candy, and Dongfang Chen used all the methods that Terry used on him on Drogba's body.

This made Drogba very uncomfortable, Drogba kept turning his head and glaring at Dongfang Chen fiercely, and the warning was very strong.

It was then that Joe Cole took a corner, this time the ball flew straight to the front post. Joe Cole saw that Drogba had not escaped from Dongfangchen's defense, so he sent the football to the front point.

Terry, who was in front of him, immediately jumped up and smashed the ball into the Birmingham goal, the ball was very fast, but unfortunately the ball was slightly off.

The Chelsea fans immediately erupted in a sigh of regret, missing such a good opportunity.

Goalkick, Joe Hart immediately drove the goalball away.

Dongfang Chen went to harass Drogba just now, and now Dongfang Chen is going to be harassed by Terry again, sure enough, that sentence is good, sooner or later he will have to pay it back.

Under the interference of Terry's undisciplined and unbounded operation, Dongfang Chen still took the lead, shook his head, and threw the football to Sebastian Larsson, Sebastian Larsson was really not in shape, the ball was not very good, and rolled directly out of the sideline.

The Birmingham fans immediately erupted in a sigh of disappointment, such a mistake Sebastian Larsson had many times in this game, and it seemed that his form was really bad today.

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray also said: "Sebastian Larsson was completely out of shape today, and I think I can really replace him at this time. ”

Looking at Sebastian Larsson's watch, McLeish was also very dissatisfied, and at this time, he also had the idea of replacing Sebastian Larsson.

McLeish turned to Lee Carsley on the bench and said, "Lee, go warm up!" Come back in five minutes. ”

Lee Carsley immediately stood up, took off his jacket, and ran to the sideline to warm up.

"Even! We saw Lee Carsley in the Birmingham squad warm up, McLeish is going to make a substitution, I wonder if they are going to replace Sebastian Larsson this time? Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

Chelsea full-back Branislav Ivanovic threw the ball out of the touchline, and the ball immediately rolled to the feet of Frank Lampard, who immediately stretched out his leg and knocked back, and the ball immediately rolled to the feet of Mikel, who made a direct long pass to Drogba in front.

Drogba jumped high and threw the ball to Malouda, who was cutting in on the wing. Malouda received the ball and immediately dribbled forward into the Birmingham penalty area, where Birmingham full-back Stephen Kyle pounced.

Malouda saw Stephen Kyle pounce on him, and he immediately stepped on his bike. However, Stephen Kyle was experienced and Malouda was unsuccessful, as he immediately crossed the ball and it rolled to the feet of Frank Lampard, who was following him.

Frank Lampard received the ball and faked a long-range shot before suddenly sending the ball into the Birmingham box and rolling straight to Drogba's feet.

The Birminghams were shocked, Drogba immediately volleyed his legs, but unfortunately, the football was shoveled out by James Collins, who was the first to do, and the Birminghames were really shocked, and the football rolled into Joe Hart's arms, and Joe Hart was also apprehensive.

Joe Hart kicked the ball out, and the ball flew to Dongfangchen, who pressed Terry to return the ball, and the ball fell to the feet of Kevin Boateng, and Ballack immediately pounced. Kevin Boateng plays the ball straight to the wing.

The ball rolled directly to the feet of Sebastian Larsson, who received the ball as he saw Dongfang Chen rush forward and shake off Terry. Sebastian Larsson immediately sent a through ball, but unfortunately he was not in good shape, the passing power was a little less, and the football did not roll to the feet of Dongfang Chen, but to the feet of Terry.

John Terry immediately turned and handed the ball to German midfielder Ballack, who received the ball and immediately slotted it into the Birmingham half.

Birmingham midfielder Ji Seong-yong went up to intercept and the experienced Ballack took advantage of the change of tempo to easily get past the South Korean midfielder and into the Birmingham penalty area.

It's dangerous, the Birmingham fans at the scene are nervous, very nervous.

Kevin Boateng chased back desperately and went on a frenzy to rob Barak. Seeing Kevin Boateng rushing up, Ballack suddenly crossed the ball across the middle, and the ball rolled past Kevin Boateng who was rushing quickly, and Kevin Boateng's face changed dramatically.

The ball rolled straight to the feet of Mikel, who was following him, and Mikel immediately dribbled the ball into the Birmingham penalty area.

Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba in front of Mikel immediately separated and pulled away towards the two wings, smashing into the Birmingham City penalty area, leaving the middle for Mikel with the ball.

It's really dangerous, James Collins is crushing Drogba and Lampard can't afford to let it go. However, the middle lane could not be vacated and conceded to Mikel, and Ridgewell had to stay in the middle to intercept Mikel. He conceded Frank Lampard straight to David Murphy on the wing.

However, at this moment, Mikel, who was dribbling the ball, suddenly sent the ball forward, and the ball rolled directly towards Lampard.

At this point, David Murphy had not yet posted on it, and Ridgewell was shocked to see the football rolling towards Frank Lampard, and he immediately pounced on Lampard, Mikel saw hope that he would not be too old to cut into the middle of the Birmingham box.

Frank Lampard, who received the ball, saw Ridgewell rushing towards him, and he immediately crossed the ball, which quickly rolled past Ridgewell and into the middle.

Danger, all the Birmingham fans screamed.

Mikel's guy rushed up at a rapid pace and rushed towards the football, and the Birmingham defenders were shocked. James Collins had no choice but to let go of Drogba and pounce on the race to interfere with Mikel.

But when Mikel saw James Collins rushing up, he immediately pretended to shoot, but he missed the ball and missed it, and the ball rolled directly past the unprepared James Collins and rolled behind him.

James Collins turned his head to see that his face changed dramatically, and the unguarded Drogba directly volleyed directly with his legs, and with a bang, the football flew into the Birmingham goal like a cannonball, and Joe Hart was powerless this time.
