Concordance Report and 4 Blues capitulation conversation points

Chelsea was fortunate enough to escape the southern coast with a 3-0 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion on Friday night.

Kaoru Mitoma opened the score for the hosts spectacularly before a Yankuba Minteh arm on both sides of the interval sealed the three points, but Brighton could have easily twisted the even deeper knife on this side of Chelsea centered into soft.

Visitors outside the ENZO MARESCA tests have not passed the English opposition outside Stamford Bridge for more than two months and have won only two of their last nine Premier League Games anywhere.

As the game was deployed

Perhaps given the proximity of the previous meeting between the two parties, Maresca sought to catch Fabian Hurzeler out of guard with a front line of rehabilitation. Chelsea He could not take advantage of the early confusion that briefly clouded the seagulls, which quickly settled in a 5-4-1 formation outside the ball to neutralize their visitors.

Very much as Last week’s CupsThe Friday contest was established on a pattern on each side with patience taking it by turns to try to play in the high press deployed by the other.

BrightonBart Verbruggen broke this sequence of Prim, which passed with a point advancing shortly before the half -hour mark. Kaoru Mitoma had Trevoh Chalobah who fell into his ear, but he still managed to remove the ball from the freezing of the night air with amazing grace. The Japan International needed two more products to set up a crunchy shot in the lower corner from the edge of the box.

The technical complexity of Mitoma’s magic was written on the faces of his teammates, who were devastated in a mixture of shock and amazing. Danny Welbeck was not alone in describing -as a “Wow moment”.

Enzo Fernández had the ball on the back of the Brighton network before the interval, but was quickly penalized by a blatant push to Joel Veltman. In seconds, gulls were held again.

Carlos Balaba struck a loose deployment and an outbreak of the interaction between Welbeck and Georginio Rutter directed the ball to the loss of Minteh inside the penalty box. An unpleasant first touch came out of Marc Cucurella in a pile of Nust before the head for Foradés Brighton in a 2-0 advantage.

The former left of Chelsea, on the left of Brighton, was put through another cycle of rotation by the same opponent in the second half. After the visitors gave another cheap turnover, Minyteh played a two with Welbeck around a Jadon Sancho and Cucurella completely used before stepping on the wild hair vault and drilling in the second goal of the evening.

“Modern football today is the way in which the game of Bournemouth, Newcastle, Brighton and Liverpool,” Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, collided last month. The gulls encapsulated the threat of their multifaceted approach to a side of the Chelsea led by the former assistant of Guardiola, Maresca, who was stuck in the past.

In the face of the man’s marking scheme of Chelsea’s man, Verbruggen chose to spend a lot of time and got a mitoma one by one with Chalobah he took emphatically.

This should not have been a great surprise for Chelsea. Guardiola left his own brief focus accumulated to hurt the blues with the long balls of the city Less than three weeks ago. As Guardiola perfectly summed up after this victory 3-1: “When he is a man to man and jump to the goalkeeper, you can do a two in contrast with the goalkeeper. But when he does not happen, you have to do it play ( Long ball a) Erling (Haaland), because if you win this ball it is an opportunity. “

“When you do not have a suitable new one, you must use a type of new (and) different, you have to change the way you play. We will find a solution,” Maresca claimed this week after it was confirmed that Nicolas Jackson would be left out until April.

At least half of this statement was true. Chelsea changed his way of playing; Christopher Nkunku spent much of the first half drift to the right wing, while Cole Palmer and even Enzo Fernandez turned around in the center. Unfortunately, it was not a successful solution.

After not forced Verbruggen to a single savings, Maresca started his plans during the half -time interval and sent Nkunku to a more orthodox role. This did not work either.

Familiarity raised contempt. Brighton has not been well known for Chelsea, only in this six -day head, but the constant flow of staff, whether players, managers or technical directors, from the southern coast to the west of London has transformed this one device in a modern rivalry.

Three members of the XI start on Friday spent all the time in Brighton before joining the Chelsea, a decision that the multitude of the home never tired of criticizing them. Moises Caicedo probably had the most impressive performance of any Chelsea player, although he still left the pitch in a heart of “what loss of money”.

Levi Colwill and Marc Cucurella were not covered in glory, with the two goals of MINTEH lowering their holographic attempts to defend the left flank. Robert Sánchez, Chelsea’s goalkeeper, who spent a decade in Brighton’s books, must have been grateful for hiding on the bench below a Snood that covered him, but his eyes.

Directing on Friday’s fixation, a lot of lack of palm has been made to provide a single attendance from the Premier League since December 4. However, during this period, Chelsea’s talisman created 32 possibilities, the maximum of any player in the five most important leagues in Europe, for elect. On the southern coast this week, Palmer did not create a single vision of the target for his teammates to get lost.

This is the first time that the ephemeal player has won a creative target in a league game since April 2024, but that night against Everton, he went on to Scoring four goals himself.

Palmer is still the most creative player in the division this season and he is almost not the only forward in Chelsea who could not perform at Amex. Although Noni Madueke has been allowed to gossip -Pedro Neto can roll around the final third without consequence without many consequences, Palmer left the boiling, but erases the entire attacking threat of Chelsea.
