[Columna Europa / Fútbol en el extranjero]Chelsea, who challenged champion Liverpool in the second section of the Premier League, showed an overwhelming difference and lost 0-2. Large-scale reinforcements in the summer received high compliments, creating the danger of entering the labyrinth. (Prayer = Tajima University)
Overwhelming difference
Is it “4-4-2” or “4-3-3”, or … How many combinations does Frank Lampard have to try before arriving at the correct answer?
This summer, Chelsea did a great booster to ease the anger from last summer when it was banned. Still, “a summer” and “200 million pounds” alone have not closed the gap with the champion. In the second round of the Premier League on the 20th, Chelsea showed a capacity gap against Liverpool in the first head-to-head meeting of the “big 6” of the season.
Unless DF Andreas Kristensen leaves the place … MF Giorginho’s PK is … If GK is different … If all the magnificent new forces are available … There are many “flaws”, but for the moment the Chelsea is not eligible to participate in the championship competition.
Danger of entering the labyrinth
I’m looking forward to seeing FW Timo Werner, MF Kai Havelz, MF Hakim Ziek, DF Chiago Silva and DF Ben Chillwell, who joined in the summer, all on the field, but as bad as that. I am concerned about the above.
In the game against Liverpool, the system was changed from the opening game with Brighton which won 3-1 while suffering. From 4-4-2 with Werner and Ruben Loftus-Cheek on the front row, he chose 4-3-3, like the champion, and placed Havelz in the center of the front row.
Havelz, who was in charge of the right side of the middle stage in the opening game, is 189cm tall, has a deep chest and can hold the ball. Even at the end of last season during the Leverkusen era, he was assigned the first position and scored 6 goals in 5 games, and he also works well as a center forward. In fact, even in the game against Liverpool, it was the starting point of the attack on the game post several times. However, as in the first match that burned on the right side, there was very little chance of getting caught in the ball and the treasure was lost.
On the other hand, Werner left a solid impact on the left side after the opening game where he was assigned the first two. The straight run, always pointing backwards, will be Chelsea’s biggest weapon of the season and should work regardless of position. But ironically that’s a thorny issue for the team.
Chelsea’s superb offenses are too versatile, with the exception of Ziek, who will settle on the right wing. Who will stand where when returning to Christian Prisic? What skills should be prioritized first? And is it “4-2-2-2”, “4-3-3” or “3-4-2-1”? There is even the danger of entering such a maze, for example, groping to unlock a 4-digit dial lock with 10,000 combinations.
Of course it is not an assumption. There are a finite number of options to try, and Lampard has put Havelz at the forefront because he already has a star. In the process, you can find not only “Plan A” but also a valid “Plan B”. However, just this season, trial and error team building should have been avoided. Due to Corona’s influence, he couldn’t get enough preseason, and Chelsea only had one friendly match, and couldn’t even organize a summer training camp to foster team harmony.
A sense of responsibility
Therefore, the “integrity” was different from the Jurgen Klopp system, which entered the sixth season. I also felt an immeasurable difference in the mentality of the team. The biggest turning point in this game is Kristensen’s departure just before the end of the first half. Until then, it was a goalless development, so at first glance it may seem even. But that is not the case.
After the match, Lampard lamented that “the start changed everything”, but the red card clearly showed the difference between the two. After GK Allison caught the ball, Liverpool connected with MF Jordan Henderson, from whom they made a decision with a single pass. Kristensen hastily brought down Sadio Manet, who was trying to escape and was forced to leave, but how many Chelsea players can kick that long pass from Henderson?
Maybe Liverpool should have kicked every player, including GK Allison, and they really would have kicked it. But at Chelsea, with the exception of front-line players Giorginho and Mateo Kovacic, perhaps the right SB Reese James. The habit of looking at the front line, the determination to kick there, and the “sense of responsibility” to play your best even if you lose the ball. I felt a difference in capacity that could not be filled overnight.
In particular, the difference in capacity of the DF line was notable. Both Chelsea center-backs only deposit the ball on Giorginho in the middle of the game and cannot make a valid pass. Let’s hope that of the new force, Chiago Silva. The player, who did not step onto the bench because he had just joined, had an incredible pass-hit rate of “95.5%” last season. According to an article on the official Premier League website, it was the highest price of the five major European leagues. In addition, the long pass also registered “76.4%”, and should provide a decisive pass like Filzil van Dyke in line with Werner’s strong exit.
In the sense of “responsibility”, Giorginho’s PK scene was also symbolic. After being stopped by GK Allison, it was the red uniform that responded quickly to the spilled ball. Chelsea missed the biggest opportunity when Van Dyke and James Milner met to punt.
So I didn’t expect this day to come, but even MF Engoro Cante looks unsatisfactory to compete with the stronger Liverpool. Of course, this game also covered a wide range with an overwhelming amount of exercise. However, as the facing Giorginio Winardum shoots aggressively, Kante hesitates to shoot and returns the ball as he presents himself at the opportunity.
And after all, it’s GK. As John Terry, who built an era in Chelsea, said that his teammate GK Petr Chef was worth “12-15 points” at the time, the team that won without GK in Premier League history. Not in. Indeed, the result may have changed if Kepa Alisabaraga, who lost a goal in Sunday’s game, and Alison, who stopped PK, were replaced. Regardless of Kepa’s true worth, it’s difficult for a guardian deity to lose confidence until now. I have no choice but to wait for GK Eduardo Mendi, who will join from Renne.
PIN
With that in mind, Chelsea’s problems pile up. If trial and error continues as it is, the battle for victory is stupid and there is even a danger of falling into the top four. That’s why Lampard should immediately decide who to focus on. If that’s not possible, even a club hero can finish his sophomore year in the middle of his career.
That is why Havelz’s “difficulty” must be postponed and Werner’s weapon discovered in the first two games must be put to the maximum. In that case, it’s probably quick to partner with FW Olivier Giroux. However, there is no guarantee that it is the correct “password”.
