The world changed.

As Huang Kaiwen entered the field.

The entire Stamford Bridge was undergoing a transformation.

Abramovich put down his glass of red wine, propping his chin with both hands to watch the game closely.

The serious expressions of the fans in the stands finally eased, and they began to sing the team anthem.

Boas, holding a magic wand, was trying to create his own magic.

Meanwhile, Newcastle’s head coach Joe Kinnear had already turned his head towards the substitutes’ bench.

This Newcastle attacking line is truly famous.

In addition to Michael Owen and Martins, the two starting forwards, the bench also included Andy Carroll, the "divine striker" future-record signing for Liverpool.

The current formation is a double-speed combination; with Carroll substituted, it could become a tall-and-fast pairing.

On the defensive players’ side, there weren’t many substitutes.

The arrangement for the seven substitutes.

Kinnear, thinking Huang Kaiwen wouldn’t even make the roster, specially brought two substitute forwards, two substitute wingers, two defenders, and one substitute goalkeeper.

From this lineup, it’s clear that Kinnear not only wanted to take a point at Stamford Bridge but also aimed to make a late substitution to possibly secure a victory over Chelsea.

The information gap led to him not preparing players to defend against Huang Kaiwen.

However, even if he wanted to defend, Newcastle’s players would find it difficult to stop him.

After thinking it over.

Kinnear decided to substitute in a defender to bolster the defense.

If I can’t press you directly, can’t I at least strengthen the penalty area’s defense?

As long as the penalty area defense is strong enough, you won’t be able to score.

After figuring it out, Kinnear called David Edgar over to the sidelines for a warm-up.

Kinnear, draping his arm around Edgar, instructed: "Tell them to retract the formation more thoroughly, no need to press forward, form a local numerical advantage in front of the penalty area, preventing Chelsea from finding opportunities for quick one-twos."

"I understand, coach!"

Edgar nodded and said.

Kinnear patted his shoulder and let him begin warming up.

"Newcastle is preparing for a substitution. Nicky Bart, from the Manchester United class of ’92, has been organizing his teammates to defensively press against Huang Kaiwen, and this multi-person pressing mode indeed easily restricts a player’s performance."

"Yes, their defense is smart, knowing to mark Deco who’s coming to support. You might not be able to completely stop Huang Kaiwen, but you can certainly stop the player coming to receive the ball."

"Right, this tactic is smart and seems effective. Isolating Huang Kaiwen, along with staying strong in the penalty area, may not be able to completely stop Chelsea’s attack, but severing Huang Kaiwen’s connection with his teammates will still have a significant impact on Chelsea’s offense."

Huang Kaiwen took the ball in the center.

Bart and Daniel Gassry together charged towards Huang Kaiwen.

Deco was advancing on the left, and the fast-moving Duff quickly moved over to disrupt.

Huang Kaiwen didn’t rush to pass the ball. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Newcastle’s defensive line was quite thoroughly retracted, making it hard to find opportunities at this time.

Bang—

Without even attempting a dribble, he directly passed back to Mikel.

Mikel saw Huang Kaiwen running back and immediately passed the ball back to him horizontally.

Bart chased Huang Kaiwen all the way back to the half.

Kinnear, on the sideline, immediately shouted to the field: "Get back, don’t push forward, defend the half field."

Bart turned his head to look at the coaching area, confirmed the coach was talking to him, and reluctantly ran back.

Always defending in their own half felt very oppressive.

Huang Kaiwen took the ball in the backfield, looking up to observe Newcastle’s half.

Realizing the opposing side wasn’t pressing forward at all.

Among the eleven players on the field, only Owen and Martins were positioned slightly forward.

Seeing Huntelaar roaming the edge of the penalty area, Huang Kaiwen immediately chipped the ball under the sphere.

Bam—

The ball quickly flew towards Newcastle’s penalty area, with Huntelaar sharply starting, but unfortunately, his speed was just a bit lacking, and after Coloccini gave him a tug, by the time he rushed to the center of the penalty area, the ball had already rolled out of bounds.

"Oh, what a missed opportunity."

"Huang Kaiwen’s long pass was indeed unexpected."

"Yes, hehe, Huang Kaiwen is very good at finding opportunities. Even from the backfield, he’s a significant threat... Newcastle substitution, David Edgar replacing Martins, defender for forward to strengthen the defense. Martins and Owen’s pairing, those names gave fans great expectations, but unfortunately, this season they’ve combined to score only five goals, not even as many as Huang Kaiwen scored in one game against Manchester City."

Huang Kaiwen shook his head, looking at the front field.

Gazza, though skilled in various aspects.

Still, his long-pass ability was slightly inferior compared to his short-passing.

His style was quite Brazilian, and at the time, this was also the belief in England.

The delicate style was not the least bit English.

After the substitution, Newcastle restarted from the backfield.

Given directly short-passed to Coloccini, who slowly controlled the ball in the backfield.

The coach had instructed them to waste time, so there was no rush to attack.

Watching Newcastle continuously pass around the backfield, a deafening wave of boos echoed at Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Once upon a time, Chelsea’s parking-the-bus tactic was also well-known.

But now, the tables have turned, and Chelsea is Europe’s most dazzling offensive team, with Chelsea fans staunchly opposing any team utilizing the parking-the-bus tactic.

Huntelaar and Kalou advanced for a tackle.

Coloccini hastily made a direct pass to the front.

Deco suddenly dashed towards Danny Gasli, who, in a panic, tried to pass horizontally to Bart, but Huang Kaiwen suddenly appeared on the trajectory, intercepting the ball.

Bart quickly extended his left hand to grab Huang Kaiwen’s jersey.
