Analysis of Chelsea’s defeat to Man City: The differences are clear
Chelsea have made nine signings ahead of the season but for the opening game, Enzo Maresca opted for a starting XI that did not include a single new player and, surprisingly, they have yet to add a centre-forward, the position the team needs the most.
Although Chelsea lost 2-0 at home, they did not play badly. Chelsea had more possession than the away team. But the problem was the attacking game, which had too few chances to score, and when they did have a chance, they lacked decisiveness. As for the defensive game, although they did not make many mistakes, when they did, they were immediately punished.
Cole Pramote, the team’s hope, is not playing and has a very small role, while Nicolas Jackson, the team’s striker, still lacks sharpness, even though he is involved in the game all the time. Unlike Erling Haaland, who is less involved but still scores when he has the chance.
When Erling Haaland broke through to shoot, he beat Marc Cucurella, who had written a song mocking Haaland before the game. In the end, it came back to him as usual. “Life comes at you fast.”
Mateo Kovacic’s handball in the box should have been a penalty for Chelsea as his arm was clearly blocking the ball, but fortunately it was not awarded. Kovacic was the one who intercepted the ball and scored the decisive goal for Man City to beat Chelsea.
