He dedicated the great goal to the Chelsea fans located on a corner of Selhurst Park. He ran towards them shouting a “¡¡¡Vamoossss!!!. The traditional expression continues to come out more spontaneously than a “¡come on!” o one “¡yes!”common English reactions to celebrate a goal.
Already in discount time, Enzo Fernández closed the Chelsea 3-1 over Crystal Palace, for the Premier League, with an admirable definition. He had just hit a free kick angle shot at “Draw Martínez” (Aston Villa) for the FA Cup. This Monday, his goal was pure luxury, artistic, due to the brake to make the full-back Daniel Muñoz pass by, pause, see if there was a better-placed teammate and resolve with a right-footed shot. high. A little painting, to put a frame on it.
The chosen one Best Young Player of the World Cup 2022 appeared in all its dimension. It surely passes through your best week in the 13 months he has been at Chelsea. More and more adapted, he does not forget his roots. After the end, in the audience detected a fan with a River shirt who asked for his, the No. 8 of the London club. He approached the side and other fans gathered to take the precious prize. Enzo had decided that he had only one recipient. He waited for the River supporter to make a place for himself among the group of people until he handed it over to him. End for the happy night of Enzo and a fan who took away an unforgettable memory.
Normally, Chelsea moves with a better waist in the English cups than in the Premier League, in which it occupies 10th place. It came from rounding off what Mauricio Pochettino He considered it “one of the best performances” of his administration. “The commitment and attitude were fantastic,” said the Argentine coach about the 3-1 over ascendant Aston Villa, which earned them qualification for the round of 16 of the FA Cup. “We want to repeat it,” added Pochettino, who on the 25th of this month will face Wembley the end of the League Cup (Carabao Cup) vs. Liverpool.
The claim of Poch, with suffering and production from low to high, came to fruition in the match that completed the 24th. Premier League date. After an opaque first half, the reaction in the second was enough for Chelsea to beat Crystal Palace 3-1 as a visitor, who is trying to stay away from the relegation spots.
Highlights from Crystal Palace 1 – Chelsea 3
Of the five shots recorded until 29 minutes into the first half, only one had been on goal, with a dive by Dorde Petrovic to save Jordan Ayew’s shot. The two goalkeepers had a night without much work, as a result of Chelsea’s difficulties in piercing the rival’s conservative scheme and Crystal Palace’s inconclusive counterattacks. Until the second shot between the three sticks left the Chelsea goalkeeper out of action. The Colombian Jefferson Lerma He took a missile from the right, crossed, unreachable for Petrovic. The Crystal Palace central midfielder had been left with a ball that Chelsea childishly lost due to a short pass from Noni Madueke to Moisés Caicedo.
Frustration over the disadvantage became evident in Chelsea, which until then dominated (80% possession of the ball), but lacked depth. With Caicedo installed as a center midfielder, Enzo Fernández left that position a while ago to move as a left interior. The Argentine started with a lot of prominence, taking charge of the start, with short passes and changes of front. But Chelsea soon fell into helplessness, with Gallagher not having an impact on the midfield and Palmer disconnected from the rest. The projections of Malo Gusto and Chilwell did not open offensive avenues either.
Few ideas and creativity from Chelsea in the first half. Just a risky situation, with a cross shot inside the Gallagher area, after an assist from Madueke. Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson had not needed to intervene in the opening 45 minutes. On the bench, a worried Pochettino exchanged impressions with a field assistant, while they reviewed plays on a tablet.
The best league in the world, due to its ability to make football a spectacle with global reach, also has deficiencies. The start of the second half was delayed almost 10 minutes longer than the 15 minutes of rest, due to problems in referee Michael Oliver’s intercom with the VAR room.
The prolonged break suited Chelsea well, they seemed like another team. He didn’t take long to prove it. Within a minute he put together a precise and incisive combination, with Caicedo’s pass for Malo Gusto to reach the bottom, whose back center was connected by Gallagher. Chelsea shook off all the drowsiness of the first stage.
At 15 minutes, the veteran Thiago Silva He was replaced due to a muscle injury in the right adductor when he jumped to sweep a shot from Mateta inside the area. Of 39 years, The Brazilian is going through what will surely be his last season at Chelsea, which will not renew his contract, in a case that the club wants to treat with great tact because he is a player appreciated by the fans, champion of the Champions League in 2021.
Chelsea improved in the second period; He played with more rhythm and intensity, although creating goal situations continued to be difficult. He insisted on Malo Gusto’s rises. He lost the game and found victory in the end. Again with Gallagher, again to connect a center behind. It was 2-1. Something else remained: shiny brooch that I put Enzo Fernández.
