César Azpilicueta

With the game tied at one goal, Chelsea comfortably beat West Ham 3-0 away. Below are the editors’ ratings for each player in the match.

Robert Sanchez- 6

A solid match from the Spaniard, who radiated a great deal of calm. He didn’t have too many opportunities where he had to strain himself, and what he had to defend, he defended. His footwork was quite impressive.

Wesley Fofana- 4

The experiment of moving the centre-back to the side unfortunately didn’t work. Wes was very nervous and it almost ended in a penalty for the opponents. Apart from that, there are no dominant moments in his game: good or bad.

Tosin Adarabioyo- 6

Like the guy above, he was quite nervous, but over time it turned into composure and a solid performance. He did quite well in terms of blocking shots and leading the action forward (here, remember the roulette, thanks to which he managed to get to the free field). On the downside, there was a fairly big break, which at times resembled plays straight from the district team.

Levi Colwill- 7

The silent hero of the match and the conductor of the defensive block. He made no mistakes throughout the match and positioned himself perfectly, forcing opponents to make mistakes in their play. His passes made all the more impressive. A great performance, confirming why, despite his young age, the 21-year-old should be our main central defender.

Marc Cucurella-5

Extremely electric and scatterbrained. Cucu lost a lot of quality today by being turned into the centre of the pitch. He was constantly forced to rush towards the unmarked left flank. He also committed a lot of fouls, which resulted in a yellow card. The Spaniard’s constant pressure and aggression can often make the difference, but in this case it seems completely unnecessary.

Moses Caicedo- 8

Despite Nicolas Jackson’s brilliant game, he was the best on the pitch. The Ecuadorian was everywhere, pressing his opponents, constantly taking the ball from under their feet. At times, he referred to the best version of N’Golo Kanté. Apart from his defense, he also made up for it with his vision of the game, thanks to which he managed to get an assist on a beautiful pass from the aforementioned Senegalese striker. With each successive match, it is confirmed that the 22-year-old was worth his sum.

Enzo Fernandez – 5

We saw him in a slightly different role, where he often ran down to the left wing to play short passes. Basically, the Argentine focused on supporting each formation in terms of playing the ball today. Nevertheless, he was very invisible, constantly making poor decisions with passes. The most unfortunate situation was when he brought out João Félix on the edge of the penalty box.

Noni Madueke- 5

In this match, the winger’s worst demons of hot-headedness and selfishness were reawakened. He had terrible problems with making decisions, and his characteristic drop to the middle did not result in anything. Pedro Neto has the right to be angry with him, who did not receive a pass from him into an empty net, where instead the Englishman tried his hand by shooting straight at Areola.

Cole Palmer- 6

An extremely poor first half for the skills of the popular “Cold”. He was invisible and made a lot of mistakes. However, Palmer entered the second half as if he was angry about his earlier actions and after a perpendicular pass from Jackson he hit the net, shooting into the left corner. He did not contribute anything more, because he was soon replaced and left the pitch.

Jadon Sancho- 6

The assist was mainly due to the Hammers’ awful defensive performance. This performance showed that Sancho still needs time to fully understand Enzo Maresca’s system, as he made a lot of mistakes due to not adjusting properly to his teammates. A big plus was definitely his dribbling, where he literally drove the miserable Edson Álvarez into the ground on one occasion

Nicolas Jackson- 8

This was one of the Senegalese’s better performances for Chelsea. Extremely confident, he made very good decisions in almost every situation, and (as never before) he didn’t waste good opportunities. He also made up for it with what he always does – he worked a lot without the ball and made space for his teammate. Let’s hope that this match is just the beginning of better performances from our feisty striker.

Alternates:

Axel Disasi- 5

He brought more calmness to our right-back than Fofana, but also than in the last match. He broke free from the pressing well a few times, and overall he managed to finish the match calmly with a good result.

Pedro Neto- 5

He tried to introduce a lot of dynamics into the game after coming off the bench, but with this result it was not necessary. However, a lot of the action came from his wing anyway, which unfortunately no one managed to use. An interesting variation was that he was also visible on the right wing from time to time.

John Felix- 5

He had a few chances where he almost scored, especially the unfortunate situation when he hit the side netting. However, with time he played more and more conservatively.

Christopher Nkunku-4

The Frenchman’s sluggish game. He made decisions very slowly, couldn’t decide how he wanted to play out the action, was weak in connecting with the play. It slowly looks like Jackson is in a much better squad situation than Nkunku, who came to Chelsea from Leipzig with the label of a world-class star pinned on him

Chelsea 1-2 Servette. After this painful defeat, Enzo Maresca had to explain himself to journalists. I invite you to read the latest conference.

Why was the game so difficult to manage?

— In the first half hour we scored a goal and had four chances, if we had been able to finish them off the game would have been over and it would have been 2-0. Then we conceded a goal and it was normal that we suffered for a while. I told you yesterday that I was very worried about this match and that such matches are very difficult. For them it is probably the match of the season. For us, the pitch was bad, it is 30 degrees and I was very worried about the conditions in which we had to play. With and without the ball the team was very aggressive. We created four or five chances in the first half and if we had used them the game would have been over. That is football – they scored and it gave them a boost. But in the end, we deserved it (promotion) and we are happy.

Is this a reminder of what to expect from the Conference League? Most teams will see Chelsea as their biggest rival.

— Yes, probably. It’s the kind of game where at the end you have a lot to lose and little to gain. That’s also why I was worried yesterday and before the match. The way we started and played the first half hour was incredible. We were very good with the ball but then we conceded a goal and that made it a lot more difficult.

Is it acceptable for play to be paused by fireworks in the middle of the stadium?

— It’s hard to judge these things. Unfortunately, this happened. We need more control.

Where do these games rank in your rankings?

“It’s a competition we’re going to try to win. I think once again, we started well. Then we lost the goal and the confidence. But overall, even in the second half, we had three one-on-ones, if we had scored the second goal it would have been game over. It’s another competition, we’ve got the Conference League, the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup – we’ll give it our all and see where we end up.”

What do you think of Tyrique George’s debut?

“I think he was good. The most important thing is that he wasn’t shy. He played with character. He’s young. We also had Josh Acheampong on the bench. Unfortunately Harrison (McMahon) wasn’t on the bench, but we’ll slowly build something important with the academy players.”

What do you think about Madueke being called up to the national team for the first time?

— I am very happy, Noni is doing great. As I said after the match against Wolves, the most important thing for him now is not to lower his level and to work hard. We are very happy with him, as well as Levi and Cole and the rest who will be with the national teams.

Enzo Maresca’s debut, in addition to the inauguration of the tour of the USA, can’t be thought of profitable, as a result of we solely managed a draw with a group from the third tier of the English league, Wrexham AFC. Our group’s play was terribly uneven, which was primarily as a result of the truth that a totally completely different line-up got here out for the second half. It needs to be remembered that it was solely a pleasant match and there’s no level in drawing far-reaching conclusions.

The primary seen modifications have been: positioning Reece James as an inverted full-back (as Maresca had introduced at his press convention), doubling the wings on the fitting with Madueke and Chukwuemeka, and positioning Nkunku low.

Within the second minute of the match, a weird state of affairs occurred when Levi Colwill started to inexplicably push and shove with Wrexham participant James McClin. Happily, there have been no warnings, however the cause for the brawl will in all probability not be recognized till after the match.

A second later, within the 4th minute, we may have taken the lead when James hit the submit with a free kick. On this state of affairs, there have been actually millimeters lacking for the hard-to-defend, bouncing ball to seek out its means into the purpose.

The Pink Dragons noticed their first motion within the seventh minute. A well-organised defence that rapidly organised itself from an offensively minded again three to a extra condensed formation in their very own penalty space.

When the Blues performed with the ball at their toes, Enzo Maresca’s new idea was evident. Particularly, the gamers performed vast, permitting for the best attainable possession and safety in each assault and protection.

Within the 18th minute we may have scored once more from a set piece, this time from a nook kick. Nkunku needed to increase the cross after a profitable cross, however sadly Marc Guiu did not handle to run in in time. The Spaniard tried to work loads on the pitch within the first half, however made a number of errors with the ball at his toes.

The clock confirmed the twenty third minute of the match and after one other throw-in, it was clear that hiring somebody answerable for set items was a superb choice. As soon as once more, we have been a good risk to our opponents, and our benefit was turning into more and more clear.

twenty fourth minute and Carney launched a good looking by way of ball to Madueke in a free place. As a substitute of looking for a solution to the purpose, he tried to go all the way down to the middle of the pitch, which is why he misplaced the ball. Regardless of the change of coach, the Englishman remains to be tormented by the identical demons. Let’s hope that both he’ll have the ability to use his attribute play or change it.

After a fast counter-attack within the twenty ninth minute, the Welsh group had their first shot on course within the match, however Sanchez managed to avoid wasting a innocent shot from the left flank.

thirty fifth minute and we lastly rating the primary purpose. After a cross from a nook kick, the ball bounced to George’s toes, who tried to shoot from sixteen meters. Nonetheless, the ball was blocked and after a slightly chaotic bounce within the penalty space, it lastly discovered its solution to Nkunku, who beat the goalkeeper with out a lot downside.

It’s fairly attention-grabbing to notice that regardless of taking part in a transparent possession recreation, primarily based on quick, fast passes, Chelsea tried to play lengthy balls fairly commonly. Fairly often they have been launched by Levi Colwill, who was excellent within the left-back function.

After a laborious 10 minutes, the primary half ended. The ways we had deliberate labored. That is confirmed by the ball possession at 74% and the accuracy of passes efficient at 91%. The Pink Dragons haven’t had something to say concerning the expectations of the Blues followers. Sadly for us, “for now” is the important thing phrase…

The second half noticed a whole rotation of the beginning eleven, with Malo Gusto approaching as an inverted defender for the Cobham graduate, however we moved away from the double wing idea and nobody performed as a deep striker.

Within the 54th minute, we may have prolonged our lead after a pleasant by way of ball. It did not occur as a result of, for some cause, Sterling tried to shoot from a decent angle as a substitute of passing.

Within the 58th minute, after a whole disorganization of the protection and a cross from Sebastian Revan from the left into the middle of the pitch, Luke Bolton scored for Wrexham 1-1. A second later, after a cross from outdoors the penalty space, the opponents may have elevated their lead as soon as once more, however they failed to manage the ball.

68th minute, a pleasant mixture transfer after which Gusto nearly acquired into a superb place, however his intentions have been nipped within the bud by the Wrexham protection. The Frenchman, though he got here on for Reece James, was rather more offensive-minded.

Within the seventieth minute, the clearly weaker type of the launched line-up turned all too obvious and the consequence was 2:1. After efficient urgent on Acheampong and Santos, Sam Dalby took the ball and directed it in direction of Jack Marriott. The Englishman managed to beat him with a weak shot close to the goalkeeper.

Within the 82nd minute we managed to equalise with the League One newcomer. A by way of ball from the fitting wing from Angelo, in the midst of the penalty space the ball was properly lined by Armando Broja, who on the similar time handed it to Ugochukwu, who with a floor shot positioned it within the web.

The second half was performed solely underneath the dictation of The Robins. The rotated eleven, aside from a number of occasional twitches, couldn’t discover their means on the pitch

Raheem Sterling determined to step into Madueke’s egocentric sneakers and for the second time within the 86th minute determined it could be an ideal thought to shoot from an unfavourable place close to the tip line.

88th minute and the younger Acheampong determined to take issues into his personal fingers and tried a long-range shot. Regardless of a properly struck ball, he failed to seek out the way in which to the opponents’ web.

Nothing attention-grabbing occurred till the tip of the match and so the draw with the third league group turned a truth.
