Match Report and 4 Conversations with Blues Capitulation

Chelsea was lucky that on Friday night he escaped from the south coast with a defeat of 3-0 from Brighton & Hove Albion.

Kaora Mitoma opened the hosts for the hosts in a spectacular way before a bracelet from Yankub Minteha on both sides of the interval sealed all three points, but Brighton could easily twist the knife even deeper into this soft center of Chelsea’s side.

Out-Sorts Visitors Enzo Maresca did not beat English opposition far from Stamford Bridge for more than two months and won only two of the last nine nine Premier league Games in any place.

How the game took place

Perhaps given the proximity of the previous meeting of the two sides, Maresca tried to capture Fabian Hurzeller outside the guard with a crowded line. Chelsea I couldn’t use the wound confusion that briefly darkened the seagulls, which quickly settled into a 5-4-1 formation outside the ball to neutralize their visitors.

Similar to Last week’s Cup tieThe competition on Friday is placed in the pattern of each side of patiently taken in return to try to play from a high printing press, which deployed another.

BrightonBart Verbruggen broke this sequence of PIM passing by one striking punt forward, just before a half-hour mark. Kaoro Mitoma was pouring his ear in his ear, but still managed to throw the ball out of the frozen night air with a stunning grace. The Japanese international needed two more extensions to place a fresh shot in the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

The technical complexity of the myth of Magic was written in the great faces of his teammates, who were swallowed in a sharp mixture of shock and awe. Danny Welbeck was not in describing as a “wow moment”.

Enzo Fernandez had a ball in the back of Brighton’s net before the interval, but was quickly punished for a sharp tire on Joel Veltman. In seconds, the seagulls celebrated again.

Carlos Baleba ran into a loose backdrop and a dexto bang inter -interaction between Welbeck and Georginio Routter directed the ball into Minteh’s progress inside the criminal box. The first touch saved left Marc Cucurella in a tightened crowd before drilling Brighton forward into a 2-0 lead.

Chelsea’s former left-back Brighton left-back was placed through another Spin cycle of the same opponent in the second half. After visitors gave another cheap traffic, Minteh played two or two with Welbeck about the fully unfounded Jadon Sancho and Cucurella before stepping around the wild hair full of back and drilled in his second naked evening.

“Today, the modern football is the way Bournemouth, Newcastle, Brighton and Liverpool play,” Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola extinguished last month. Seaguli has closed the threat to their multiple approach against Chelsea’s side, led by former Assistant Guardiola, Mareca, who has been stuck in the past.

Faced with the strict scheme of Chelsea’s label, Verbruggen opted for a long time, Mandaj Mitoma for one on one with Chalobah, which explicitly used.

This should not have been a big surprise for Chelsea. Guardiola has thrown his own short approach to the cluster to hurt blues with city long balls Less than three weeks ago. As the Guardiola is neatly summarized after that 3-1 victory: “When the man is man and they skip the guards, you can make twice with the goalkeeper. But when that doesn’t happen, you have to play [long ball to] Erling [Haaland]Because if you win that ball, that’s a chance. “

“When you don’t have a proper nine, you have to use another type of nine [and] You have to change the way you play. We’ll find a solution, “Maresca claims this week after it was confirmed that Nicolas Jackson would be placed aside by April.

At least half of that statement was true. Chelsea changed his playing mode; Christopher Nkinka spent a large part of the first half to the right wing, while Cole Palmer and even Enzo Fernandez went through the middle. Unfortunately, that was not a successful solution.

After not being able to force Verbruggen in a unique savings, Maresca fell apart during the interval at halftime and sent Nkunk to a more Orthodox role in the center. That didn’t work.

Knowledge gives birth to contempt. Brighton did not become unhappy with Chelsea only through this six -day double header, but the constant stream of staff – whether they are players, managers or technical directors – from the southern coast to the western London turned this special fixing into a modern rivalry.

Three members of the initial XI on Friday spent time in Brighton before joining Chelsea – a decision for which the domestic crowd never tired of criticizing. Moises Caicedo probably had the most impressive performance of any Chelsea player, but still went to the field on Hora “What a Loss of Money”.

Levi Colwill and Marc Cucurella were not covered in glory, with both Mintech’s goal overthrowing their holographic attempts to defend the left flank. Robert Sanchez, Chelsea’s denied goalkeeper who spent the decade on Brighton’s books, had to be grateful to hide on the bench under the bundle that covered everything but his eyes.

Going on Friday, a lot is made of Palmer’s failure to provide one assistance in the Premier League from December 4th. However, during this period, Chelsea’s Talisman created 32 chances, the most player in the first five leagues in Europe, Opta. On the southern coast this week, Palmer did not create a single form of goal to miss his teammates.

This is the first time an efficient playmaker has drawn creatively empty in the league match since April 2024 – Still, that night against Everton, it happened I scoop four goals.

Palmer still remains the most creative player of the division this season and is barely the only Chelsea striker who has failed to perform at AMEX. While Noni Madueke was allowed to suppress, and Pedro Net could be dug with no consequences around the last third third, Palmer was leaving from boiling, but abolishes the entire threat of Chelsea.
