βοΈ by nikizuffer
STARTING XI:
Sanchez - 4 πππππππ - 5: First dangerous shot on goal and he has his positioning completely wrong.
Cucurella - 8.5: Didnβt invert today, but was an absolute rock at the back.
Chalobah - 7: Very solid defending and won all of his aerial duels.
Colwill - 7: Did very well at the back and like Chalobah also won all aerial duels. Advanced the ball very well.
Gusto - 7: Quite sloppy at times, but did produce the winning goal. Inverted role doesnβt suit him.
Santos - 7: Good first start. Tackling and duel ability is impressive.
Nkunku - 5.5: Wasnβt really involved and lacked will and passion.
Palmer - 8.5: Trademark goal from him and contributed well to the attack.
Neto - 7.5: Very difficult game for him, given Jotaβs unfortunate passing. Crossing and dribbling was very sharp and was unlucky to not contribute to a goal.
Enzo - 7: Good game. Didnβt really stand out, but didnβt put a foot wrong too.
Delap - 5.5: Silly booking, going to miss the next game. Difference between him and Pedro was clear to see.
SUBSTITUTES:
J.Pedro - 8: Looked very confident and fit, considering he was on holiday three days ago and only trained a few times with us.
Madueke - 7.5: Played like he wanted to stay, unlucky to not get a goal
Dewsbury-Hall - N/A
Esseugo - N/A

π£οΈEnzo Maresca on Chelseaβs 2-1 win over Palmeiras in the Club World Cup quarter-final:

βWe spoke with Pedro yesterday, this morning and this afternoon and it was completely his personal decision whether to play or not to play.
βHe made a fantastic effort to play this game, to be with his team-mates, and we really appreciate what he has done.
βI just said to the players that this win is especially for him because we know how close he was [with Jota] and the effort that he has done.
βSo no doubt that we really appreciate what he decided in the end.β
π€ ππ§ ππ‘π π ππ¦π:
βPersonally, I think in the first half we were in control of the game. We didnβt concede anything.
βWe scored the goal and we could have scored some more goals and then they were better than us and they scored.
βThe game changed a bit, the dynamic changed, but then I think in the last 20 to 25 minutes we were in control again and I think we deserved to win the game without being lucky.β

βSince we started this competition, we have a new structure in corners. The reason why is because we are always looking to improve things and offensively during the Premier League, I think we need to improve things.
βSo since the Club World Cup started, we have a new structure. Most of the time we try to play short, but also we have the long option.β
On Andrey Santos replacing Reece James in the warm up:
βReece felt something during the warm-up. We think itβs tightness and we prefer not to take any risks with him.β
