A video clip from Thursday’s major match between Chelsea and Manchester City shows the exchange of words at the Chelsea tenant before they turned the match over and secured Liverpool the gold medal.
The Korona pandemic has caused Premier League football to roll in front of empty stands, to the detriment of both players and supporters. Nevertheless, the empty stands have given television viewers a deeper insight into what is conveyed among the players and coaches down on the grass mat.
The crown example of this we got maybe on Thursday night, during the crucial season between Chelsea and Manchester City.

Important water break
Because in the heat of Stamford Bridge, the teams got a break for halfway into the second half. The break was a welcome for home-team Chelsea, who, after going on a 1-0 lead, had lost their grip on the game at the start of the second half.
Kevin De Bruyne equalized to 1-1 ten minutes into the second inning, and Manchester City were close to completing the turnaround when Raheem Sterling hit the post just minutes later. The team from Manchester continued to press until it was time for a water break.
In a video published by BTSport, we both watch and hear Chelsea’s break-talk, and it’s clear that Captain César Azpilicueta is taking responsibility, along with manager Frank Lampard.
– Must go a long way
The Chelsea captain raised his voice as the team gathered around the home bench:
– If we have to hit far, we will hit far. Then we go for the second balls and gain confidence through it, says the Chelsea captain in a clip published by BT Sport.

The word self-confidence is clearly important in the Chelsea tenant, and is also used by Lampard in the same intermission:
– Come on guys, come on! Same story, same story. We have to have faith in ourselves, says Lampard in the same clip.
And Chelsea’s break-talking gave results. Manchester City lost their grip on the match and the home team created several big chances. In the 70th minute, a long ball was struck in the direction of Christian Pulisic, who was inches away from setting his second score for the evening.
Seven minutes later came the decisive opportunity when Citys Fernandinho saved the ball on the line with his hand as an assist. The Brazilian was expelled and compatriot Willian gave the home team the lead from the 11-meter mark.
The Chelsea victory thus secured Liverpool’s first league gold in 30 years, giving Lampard men a never-ending respite in the battle for a position within the top four.
