It is understandable that Enzo Maresca tried to have his team.

Set up from the back in a similar way to what Pep Guardiola did at Manchester City.

But in reality, the Citizens’ defenders had more individual skills and understanding of the game than. This Chelsea defender. In addition, holding midfielder Rodri alone was able to counter the pressing with finesse, unlike Renato Vega and Enzo Fernandez who were slow to turn and do anything.

We don’t know how many more times we will see Chelsea concede goals so easily like this, because Maresca has admitted that he is aware of this problem. Everything takes time to adjust, so Chelsea fans can only hope that the defenders and goalkeepers will understand this philosophy soon.

Eddie Howe orders his team to push hard!

After the defeat at Stamford Bridge last weekend, Eddie Howe made some changes to his players but still kept the starting line-up to get revenge on the Blues. What Newcastle did very well today was playing a high-pressing game that Chelsea could barely control. In the

first half, it was clear that Chelsea had more possession, but there was almost no connection to attack in dangerous areas. The reason was ยูฟ่าเบท that Newcastle bet high up in the penalty area, causing Chelsea players to only kick long balls forward, which Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku could not keep. In addition, the return of the speedy Anthony Gordon to the field helped make this game plan more suitable.

Maresca’s team arrangement also played a part in making Eddie Howe’s plan even more effective. With players capable of breaking the press like Cole Palmer, Nicholas Jackson, Moises Caicedo, and Romeo Lavia not playing, Chelsea only have players who think slowly, act slowly, and turn slowly, which is very unsuitable for this kind of game situation.
