Chapter 113: The Bench
When the game reached 25 minutes, the scene on the pitch was much better, and the two sides also passed the beginning of the tentative stage, Chelsea began to attack, and Nottingham Forest had a full main lineup, although almost all of Chelsea's substitutes in this game came, but there were also many fans, 40,000 spectators watched the game, and the attendance was also very high.
Cahill looked at the situation and said: "Let's not talk about this, there are still a lot of stories on the pitch, now let's watch the game, I see that the game has officially opened, our state on the field is getting better and better, Nottingham Forest our team can rarely meet now!" I don't know if we'll get a chance to play for a while. ”
"Really appreciate everyone coming! This is the third round of the Carabao Cup, with Chelsea hosting Nottingham Forest and not much different from the pre-match predicted starters. ”
Chelsea's starting line-up: Caballero, Rudiger, Christensen, Senderos, Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Cesc Fabregas, Kenedy, Segura, Batshuayi, Hazard.
Chelsea subs: Eduardo, Salter, Sterling, Ampado, Cahill, Costa, Jones.
Nottingham Forest's opening formation is 352 and the lineup is: Stephen Henderson, Joe Worrall, Hobbs, Richard, Mancian, Osborn, Fox, Dowell, Bucharakis, Tyler Walker, Britton,
Subs: Jordan Smith, Barry McKay, Carayol, Villios.
'It was an unimportant but important game for Jonathan Kodic and his team, with Hazard making his first start since his return, Caballero and Academy graduates Ethan Ampadu and Dujon Sterling making their Blues debuts, and the performance will determine Kodic's determination to rotate his players in the future.
Willy Caballero made his first appearance for Chelsea and was a first-time starter for 20-year-old Belgian striker Musonda, who came off the bench against Burnley in the opening game.
Academy youngsters Raheem Sterling and Ethan Ampadu were on the bench alongside Jones and Costa, along with captain Gary Cahill.
The Nottingham Forest players watched the Chelsea players get better and better after the opening, so they had to take the lead, the Chelsea defenders didn't notice for a moment, failed to clear Fox's cross from the left, and Bucharakis received the ball on the edge of the box and finished the shot, but Caballero saved the ball steadily.
Chelsea's defenders also cheered up, and at this time the camera shifted to the bench: "The captain of Chelsea and Jones have just been chatting, presumably the situation on the field has made both of them very bored, I am afraid that this shot will make both of them pay attention to the field!" ”
After the game failed at Nottingham Forest, Musonda showed his role on the pitch one minute later, Musonda cleverly got rid of the opposition defence, and then he made a delicate collision with Bakayoko, Musonda took the ball and was about to shoot, but Hobbs chased and stabbed the ball away.
Kenedy then received a pass from Musonda and shifted the ball to Michy Batshuayi in the middle, who also shot slightly wide, but the Brazilian had a more immediate impact in the rest of the game.
It was a Chelsea attack from the back, and after the ball was deftly moved to Musonda's feet, the Belgian deftly got rid of the defender before getting the ball to the deeper Bakayoko, who fed the ball to Rudiger on the wing, who played as the right centre-back of the three in the game, and his pass found Kenedy at the far post.
'The Brazilian shot straight into the net without stopping, Chelsea led Nottingham Forest 1-0 at home, and with most of Chelsea's main players not playing, Chelsea led by one goal in the 30th minute of the first half, with Jones and Cahill both getting up on the bench to celebrate.
Six minutes later, Chelsea extended their lead again, thanks in large part to midfielder Cesc Fabregas's pressing up front, who helped his side gain possession and passed the ball to Eden Hazard, who found Michy Batshuayi with a pinpoint through ball from outside the box, and Batshuayi cut in from inside the box with his left foot, and the ball went straight to the net through the goalkeeper! Chelsea lead Nottingham Forest 2-0! Michy Batshuayi helped his team extend the score to 2-0.
Narrator: "In his pre-match press conference, Kodic said that the players who got the rotation for this game should take their chances, and several academy players, Kenedy and Musonda, played very well in the first half.
Five minutes before half-time, Musonda raised his arms and chanted with his first goal for the club after creating a series of threats, and Cesc Fabregas sent a penetrating through ball from the crowd that Musonda received and fired a low shot into the corner of the net, which Henderson could do to find the ball.
Chelsea then combined to give us a four-goal lead, when Musonda used his pace to get behind the Nottingham Forest defence, and his pass found Fabregas, whose shot had already gone past Henderson but narrowly wide.
Countless Nottingham fans covered their eyes and scored three goals in the first half, and the opponent was still a substitute for the Chelsea team, and countless Chelsea fans who watched the game were celebrating their team's achievement, but less than a minute later they were dumbfounded: "Damn, what's the situation!" ”
There are 10,000 grass and mud horses flying in the hearts of the fans, countless fans, one moment they are still very excited, and the next moment they become collectively confused, what happened on the field, the photographer is a little trembling, but such a precious scene, he will not miss it!
And the timing of the camera turn is good, whether it is the camera distance or the way it is filmed, a wave of emotion exploded on the Chelsea bench, just after Jones saw Chelsea's third goal, Jones Costa and both stood up to celebrate, Jones wanted to jump on Costa's body to celebrate.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to jump on Costa, Costa took a step back, and Costa, who saw Jones jumping over, subconsciously caught Jones, but this is not the most important thing, the key is that this position is a princess hug, Jones Costa and Costa, both of them were stunned, and it happened that the broadcast also shifted to the bench, and the scene just happened!
After a few seconds, Jones finally came to his senses: "Put me down, Costa!" ”
Costa was also stunned, and finally reacted, what did the two of them do!
