Determined everything from the first leg, with the 1-4 with which he won in Stockholm, Chelsea only enlarged the excessive difference that separates him from Djugarden, surpassed again in the duel back of the semifinals of the Conference League, with the London team directly to the final.
May 28, Wednesday, in the Polish city of Breslavia is the appointment for the title. The eighth European final, not counting continental supercopas, of the history of the English club: won the last three, the most recent in the Champions League against Manchester City in 2021. Comparatively, this moment is much less.
His rival will be Betis or Fiorentina, depending on the outcome of his semifinal, still at stake. Whoever is, will propose a much greater challenge to that of this semifinal. It will submit the Enzo Maresca team to a true fire test, even though it was going through a streak of five consecutive victories among all competitions or is fifth in the ‘Premier’, because, among its number of good players, it has suffered swings throughout the entire course. More unpredictable than reliable.
But, at the same time, it probably will not be the same team with which the semifinal has solved, both in the first leg and in the return. For example, this Thursday in Stamford Bridge only Marc Cucurella repeated regarding the 3-1 victory last Sunday against Liverpool. He did not risk Cole Palmer or Madueke or Moisés Caicedo or Enzo Fernández or Chabah or Collwill or Lavia or Pedro Neto or Nico Jackson.
And Cucurella changed it to the break to give entry to Shumaira Mheuka. 17 years. Antwi also entered later. Also with 17 years. And from the beginning Reggie Walsh, 16. His second official match with the first team. His debut as a starter … and in Stamford Bridge. A moment for its history, in a party reduced from transcendence, not by the final prize, but by the seasonal condition. Of 1-4.
Chelsea took the turn with relaxation, reduced at a slower pace, aware that it was nothing more than a procedure. In half an hour he counted three occasions, including a clear George shot with his foot with Rinne, with the feeling that Chelsea would win as soon as he proposed it. As soon as he accelerated, he achieved two opportunities almost in a row.
And, as soon as he went further, he scored 1-0. He scored Dewsbury-Hall. Signed last summer of Leicester, it is his fourth goal in 29 games with Chelsea. The midfielder became a striker, who maneuvered as such in the area to mark with an accurate left footed shot. He bounced in the post and stayed on the goal network.
He was offside, but Djugarden was also able to suddenly try Jorgensen, whose stop was magnificent. He will not count on statistics, because the action was finally invalidated, but the permissiveness of that occasion was also a line in the way that Chelsea was barely demanded against a much weaker rival than him.
-The failed goal implausible by George also happened, whose shot from Jadon Sancho, only one meter from the line, was crossed by the background. The offside lightened the error in the attacker’s auction, also hindered by a defense.
They are eleven victories in twelve meetings in this competition of the London team, which has scored 38 goals and that arrives launched to the final. There are 20 days left.
