The Debrief: Kante's shift reinforces defensive might and home comforts in
Europe

23 Feb 2022


Chelsea established a commanding lead at the midway stage of our Champions
League knockout tie with Lille and our closer look at the key numbers and
talking points focuses on how defensive strength has buttressed our
Stamford Bridge fortress against European rivals…

Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic found the net with a goal apiece in
either half as Thomas Tuchel's reigning kings of the continent resumed the
defence of our crown with a polished performance. We will now take a
two-goal lead to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy for the second leg in three
weeks' time.


== Tilted to the right ==


With Hakim Ziyech so effective in recent outings on the right flank, it
was no surprise to see the Blues focus much of our attacking endeavours
down that side of the pitch against the reigning French champions.


Over half the forward forays initiated by the hosts came down the right,
with Kai Havertz and N'Golo Kante also tilted to that wing, and Cesar
Azpilicueta the more advanced of our two wing-backs.

Some of our most notable early opportunities, prior to Havertz's headed
opener, came through this route. The German spurned a great chance inside
five minutes as he fired a cross from the captain over on the half-volley
before forcing Lille goalkeeper Leo Jardim to expertly tip his next
attempt around the post.


Those were two of our nine shots in total throughout the 90 minutes,
compared to 15 overall for the visitors, although the quality of those
chances were starkly different. All Chelsea shots came from inside the
18-yard box, while 60 per cent of Lille's efforts came from outside the
box and none from six yards or closer.

== Top of the stats ==


N'Golo Kante was named as UEFA's Player of the Match following another
all-action display in central midfield.


The Frenchman and Mateo Kovacic were Tuchel's preferred partnership in the
engine room, though the Croatian's withdrawal with injury early in the
second half left much of the remaining heavy lifting to Kante.


Our number seven rarely shirks a tough shift though and he was
eye-catching again at the Bridge, winning more tackles (four) and playing
more key passes (two) than any other Chelsea player.

Meanwhile, only the three centre-backs completed more than his 48 passes,
only Christian Pulisic and Marcos Alonso made more successful dribbles,
and his 91 per cent pass completion was also one of the highest on the
pitch.


One of those customary lung-busting runs led to our second goal of the
night as he picked up the ball midway in our half and charged forward to
the edge of the Lille box before teeing up Pulisic to finish smartly.
Whether containing, controlling or creating, this was another vintage
Kante display against his compatriots on the big European stage.

== Fortress Stamford Bridge ==


This latest Chelsea home victory extended our winning run in the Champions
League to five consecutive games at the Bridge, all without conceding a
goal, which is a first for an English club in the competition.


Just like our triumphant campaign last term, defensive solidity is
providing the bedrock for our assault on continental glory. Tuchel's
Chelsea have conceded just two goals in eight Champions League knockout
ties, while our 14 clean sheets since the start of last season is more
than any other side.

12 - Chelsea's 37-year-old centre-back Thiago Silva won possession 12
times tonight against Lille, the most he's ever done so in a Champions
League match, with tonight his 94th appearance in the competition. Rock.


Much of that was aided by another flawless rearguard display from Thiago
Silva, who won possession more times in the game (12) than he has ever
done before in a Champions League match, on what was his 94th appearance
in the competition. One first-half tackling sequence in particular brought
such pleasure for the Brazilian that he roared at the home supporters in
delight.

Behind him, Edouard Mendy has also now kept 14 clean sheets in 18 starts
in the competition (78 per cent), the highest clean sheet ratio of any
goalkeeper with more than five starts in the competition's history.
