098, the mighty Chelsea
It didn't take long for Real Madrid to come under the attack.
'In the seventh minute, the Chelsea midfielder broke the ball and launched a counter-attack, and Charlie Musonda passed the ball to Solanke's feet.
'Solanke dropped back to get the ball and he suddenly went straight and passed it to Isaiah Brown, the captain of Chelsea.
"Brown shoots!"
"The ball went in !!"
'Just seven minutes into the game, Chelsea scored against Real Madrid. Their attack power is too powerful! ”
"It was Isaiah Brown who scored the goal. In the last round of the Premier League, Chelsea's match against Queens Park Rangers, he was called up by Jose Mourinho and sat on the bench. He opened the scoring for Chelsea in today's game. ”
'Chelsea are the favourites to win the tournament.
"In the knockout stage, they eliminated Zenit 3-1 and then beat Atletico Madrid 2-0. In the semi-finals, they swept 4-0 against Italy's best youth team, Roma. It can be said that in the previous competitions, they have fully shown the championship appearance. ”
'Now they're one goal ahead of Real Madrid.'
"Will they win the UEFA Youth League?"
On the commentary bench, Picard's spat flew in unison.
Like most, Picard is very keen on Chelsea to win the title.
After all, they are the strongest team on paper in this tournament.
is optimistic about them, and is more like an emperor who understands the ball.
In the stands, the crowd began to applaud the Chelsea players.
The Colofre Sports Centre is not a very large stadium.
In fact, due to population issues, the stands of Swiss football stadiums do not accommodate many spectators.
As a UEFA designated football stadium, the Colofre Sports Centre can accommodate a total of 7,200 spectators, and the crowd for this match is roughly more than 5,000 people. Basically, the attendance is pretty good.
Many of the spectators were scouts from European football clubs, like Hoffman.
The UEFA Youth League is a key competition promoted by UEFA, and the participating teams are made up of the youth teams of the champions of the national leagues, and most of the players are the best players in their age group. Therefore, it is only natural that this event has become a gathering place for scouts from all walks of life.
Everyone knows that the most important thing in the 21st world is talent. A good seedling is the future of the team for the giants, and the way to make money for the small clubs.
Seeing Chelsea's goal, scouts have also set records.
This goal, from Musonda's instigation, to Solanke's assist, to Isaiah Brown's goal, is remarkable.
These three players are also on the list of players that scouts are focusing on.
'There were some changes in Chelsea's tactics after the goal.
'Before the goal, they played with a snatch to get started. As soon as the game began, the Chelsea players started to pick up the pace. They used a high-pressure approach of pressing in front, forcing Real Madrid's game rhythm to become a bit chaotic, and it was difficult for the midfield to pass the football back smoothly. ”
'Chelsea's goal was the result of a tactic like this.
"They took advantage of a passing error by a Real Madrid player, and after a successful tackle, they quickly counterattacked, and beat Real Madrid to get the first goal."
"After the goal, Chelsea took the initiative to slow down the tempo of the attack and played possession tactics to wear down the spirit of the Real Madrid players."
'Chelsea manager Adi Vivias has worked well with his tactics and his players have executed them very well.
'It's a mature team and I didn't expect the Chelsea youth team to play so well today.
Picard has a thumbs up for the Chelsea team.
On the field, the game began to get stale.
Chu Ge had come back several times to help catch the ball.
It didn't work out very well, though.
Chu Ge is not a player who is good at offensive organization.
In the team, he is positioned more as an assaulter than a playmaker.
Now, the team is poorly organized, and Chu Ge's space to play has become very limited.
However, even if the effect is not good, Chu Ge will still frequently retreat to get the ball to reduce the pressure on his teammates.
He's very good on the ball. As long as the football is passed to his feet, it will be difficult for a Chelsea player to snatch it from Chu Ge's feet.
With the help of Chu Ge, Real Madrid gradually stabilized the situation.
Although their attack was not organised for a while, at least the Chelsea attack was not as smooth as it used to be.
While Chu Ge was playing football, he was also thinking of a way.
After playing for half an hour, he basically saw that Chelsea's strength was indeed too strong.
Especially the players in their midfield.
As they played group passes, there was little that could be done to stop them by their Real Madrid team-mates.
The team-mates could only keep retreating, returning to the vicinity of their own penalty area, taking advantage of the number of players, and gradually encroaching on the attacking space of the Chelsea players, so as to effectively limit the opponent's attack.
However, with such a defense, I don't know when one or two holes will appear.
Once caught in the hole, Real Madrid may continue to concede goals in this game.
Compared to their attacking prowess, Chelsea's defensive prowess is not as strong.
Especially Chelsea's goalkeeper Bradley Collins.
Chu Ge once tried to test the goalkeeper with a long-range shot.
As a result, it was not a very threatening long-range shot, and Collins saved the ball and got rid of it.
Not all goalkeepers get rid of it, it's a matter of level, but Chu Ge noticed that Collins's departure this time was because the goalkeeper didn't choose a very good position, and the hand shape of the ball was not right.
Therefore, he was somewhat skeptical about Collins' level.
Of course, just a test of goal doesn't say much.
Chu Ge also didn't have much opportunity to test the goalkeeper's true level.
Many of Chelsea's defensive players are of average quality, not even as experienced as those in La Liga B.
But there are two people who are very strong.
One is their defender Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
This is an all-round midfielder who can attack and defend well and has a very well-rounded ability.
The other is their centre-back Andreas Christensen, a Danish centre-back who is tall and in good physical condition.
These two are the main ones in charge of Chu Ge at Chelsea.
Loftus-Cheek is in charge of the close-fitting and Andreas Christensen is protective. Sometimes it's Andreas Christensen who is close and Loftus-Cheek comes in to make up for it.
In short, wherever Chu Ge goes, there will definitely be one of them by his side.
Apart from these two, none of Chelsea's other defenders impressed Chu Ge too much.
"If there's a way to keep the two of them from staring at me at the same time, maybe I can find some opportunities."
Chu Ge thought in his heart.
In this game, it is impossible to keep it.
Not to mention that the score is behind, even if he is not behind, it is impossible for Chu Ge to hope that the opponent's offensive players will not score.
Want to win the game.
He's got to find a way to score.
Chu Ge was thinking as he watched the Chelsea defenders.
