The Debrief: Chalobah shines on debut amid fine margins in final

12 Aug 2021


Chelsea's new season started the same way the last one had finished, with
European silverware heading back to Stamford Bridge, as we won a penalty
shoot-out to defeat Villarreal in the UEFA Super Cup.

Hakim Ziyech had given the Blues a deserved half-time lead with a smart
finish from Kai Havertz's cutback before Gerard Moreno levelled 18 minutes
from the end to send the tie into extra-time. It was a final of fine
margins and an additional half an hour was unable to separate the two
sides, forcing spot-kicks in Belfast.


Kepa Arrizabalaga was introduced specifically for the role of shoot-out
specialist and the Spaniard did not shirk the responsibility against his
compatriots, saving two penalties as Chelsea triumphed 6-5 to win the
trophy for the first time in 23 years.


Of Chelsea's 20 efforts on goal, Marcos Alonso accounted for a quarter of
them. Of our seven shots on target, the wing-back claimed three. As one of
five players to have featured for the full two hours of action, the
Spaniard looked fit and offered a consistent attacking threat down the
left flank.


With Ben Chilwell and Emerson Palmieri both Euro 2020 finalists and thus
among the latest arrivals back to Cobham, Alonso has stepped up and
reminded everybody of his impact as an attacking force. He spent most of
the game in the Villarreal half, probing forward with runs in behind and
offering width as the Blues attempted to find the cracks in the yellow
wall.

Whether in the air with four aerial duels won, on the grass with 70
touches in the opposition half including 10 in the penalty area, or from
set-pieces, Alonso spearheaded much of our forward threat. That included
claiming the pre-assist for Ziyech's goal with a precise pass into space
for Havertz to run onto down the inside-left channel.


== Dazzling debut ==


Thomas Tuchel has spoken throughout pre-season about how impressed he has
been with 22-year-old Trevoh Chalobah, who started at Windsor Park on the
right of our back three.


The England Under-21 international was composed on the ball, offering an
attacking outlet as Villarreal sat deep for long periods, and read the
game expertly. In fact, no player on the pitch made more than his five
interceptions, which came alongside a joint game-high six clearances and
two successful tackles.

In possession, the centre-back had more touches of the ball (148) and
spent more time in possession (9.4 per cent) than anybody else. His pass
completion rate of 95 per cent was bettered only by fellow defender Kurt
Zouma, of those who started the match.


All of this came on the Chelsea Academy graduate's senior debut for the
club, following three seasons on loan at Ipswich, Huddersfield and
Lorient. While Tuchel has plenty of options in that area of the pitch,
Chalobah has certainly put his name in the frame for more game time with
such a mature all-round performance.


== Shoot-out success ==


In 47 Super Cup finals, only three have gone the full distance to a
penalty shoot-out and Chelsea have remarkably been involved in all of
them. Our previous two outings, against Liverpool in 2019 and Bayern
Munich in 2013, ended in defeat.

3/47 - Just three of the 47 Super Cup finals have gone to penalties, with
Chelsea being involved in all three – winning tonight, and losing against
Bayern Munich in 2013 and Liverpool in 2019. Awaited.


However, Tuchel had a plan to reverse that trend in Belfast, introducing
Kepa moments before the end of extra-time. The replacement keeper was
animated on his line and appeared stoked up for the battles that followed,
ultimately saving from Aissa Mandi and Raul Albiol.


Prior to this game, Kepa had a shoot-out save record of 21 per cent,
numbers that were cited by Tuchel as the reason behind his decision to
replace Edouard Mendy. The move paid off handsomely and the sight of the
popular Spaniard being mobbed by his team-mates following his
match-winning save was truly one to savour.
