The Blues Jedi Counterattack! How does Chelsea make it to the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup?

Who understands the family members! I stayed up late last night to watch Chelsea play in the Club World Cup and almost got a heart attack! I thought the Blues, who were stumbling this season, were about to fail, but in the end, a "grassroots counterattack" drama was staged, which made the opponent with a home advantage look weak. The process of this competition is more exciting than riding a roller coaster. After watching it, I am so energetic that I must talk to you!

Let's talk about the opening game first. The opponent was fully fired as soon as he came up, using the cheers of home fans to press frantically. Chelsea obviously did not adapt to the rhythm, and the defense line was full of loopholes and was almost broken. I stared at the screen, my palms were covered in sweat, and I was muttering: Isn’t it really going to capsize in the gutter, right? Fortunately, goalkeeper Sanchez turned into a "Wall of Sighs" and made continuous contributions to the divine pounce. He used his face to block the opponent's shot several times. The power of this save hurts through the screen! There was a ball with the opponent's forward who made a single shot. Sanchez leaped and saved the ball from the bottom line. The commentator was so excited that he shouted. This save was simply ranked among the top ten of the year!

To talk about the turning point of the game, it will be head coach Pochettino's substitution adjustment. In the second half, he waved his hand and replaced young players Chuk Umeka and Aubameyang. This substitution was like a cheat, directly revitalizing the entire offensive line. Chuk Umeka showed his newborn calf as he was not afraid of a tiger as soon as he came on the court. He made a fierce move in the midfield and escaped continuously, disrupting the opponent's defense line. Aubameyang had a keen sense of smell. He grabbed the opponent's defender and made a clearance mistake. He shot with a beautiful shot, and the ball was in a dead corner! The live broadcast was instantly boiling, and the barrage was browsing faster than the Rockets, and everyone was shouting "Aubameyang yyds"!

In addition to its outstanding offensive performance, Chelsea's defensive resilience is also admirable. Especially captain Rees James, he is simply the decisive needle on the back line. Not only did he have to defend against the opponent's most threatening winger, he also had to participate in the offense from time to time, and ran all over the field as if he was equipped with a motor. Once the opponent launched a quick counterattack, and it was about to form a situation where the more was played, Reese James chased him from behind, and a clean tackle broke the ball out of the sideline. This kind of professionalism deserves him to be the captain!

There is another interesting detail in this game. As the game was about to end, the smell of gunpowder on the field became stronger and stronger, and the players on both sides were a little friction. At this time, Chelsea veteran Chilwell stood up, comforting his teammates' emotions while communicating with opponents, avoiding the escalation of conflicts. I have to say that a veteran is a veteran, and he can really stabilize the situation at critical moments. This scene also reminds me of Chelsea’s inheritance over the years. No matter how the lineup changes, the team’s iron-blooded spirit will always be there.

Now that Chelsea has successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, the next opponents will definitely be more difficult to beat. But judging from the performance of this game, the Blues have regained some of the energy they had back then. Especially those young players, newborn calfs are not afraid of tigers, and have injected new vitality into the team. Old fans know that Chelsea’s most lacking in counterattack genes. Didn’t it be that the reversal of Bayern in the Champions League final was also stumbled all the way and finally won the trophy? This Club World Cup may really bring us greater surprises!
