The Debrief: Brilliant balance and champion's aura make Blues ominous
opponents

24 Nov 2021


On a decisive night in the Champions League, the holders put in a
statement performance as we thumped Juventus 4-0 at Stamford Bridge to
book a place in the last-16. We take a closer look here at the key match
statistics and talking points…

The familiar sound of Madness hit One Step Beyond in SW6 often signals a
keynote home win for Chelsea and so it was again last night as the Blues
supporters danced away the early winter chill after watching their men
dismantle our Italian opposition.


The Old Lady was left weary and bereft, confused by the interchanging
positions of the home side's attacking options and shut out swiftly by a
Chelsea defence playing with supreme confidence.


Thomas Tuchel's side had the aura of champions about them and never looked
back from Trevoh Chalobah's opener midway through the first half, with
further goals from Reece James, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Timo Werner putting
a dent in the Bianconeri.


While the issue of taking back control in Europe continues to dominate
political discourse, the Blues made light work of seizing back the
initiative in Group H, moving level on points with Juve but above them
courtesy of our now superior head-to-head record. Matching their result on
matchday six in a fortnight will guarantee our progress as group winners
for the 13th time.


== Attack in sync ==


Kai Havertz's slight hamstring issue and the gradual return to full match
fitness of both Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku meant there was a berth to
fill at the apex of our attack. Tuchel opted for Christian Pulisic to fill
in as makeshift centre-forward, the American moving freely into areas that
left defenders Leonardo Bonucci and Mathias De Ligt uneasy.

The average positions of Chelsea's starters against Juventus


Although Pulisic failed to register an effort of his own at goal and
claimed fewer touches (20) than any starter on the field, his work-rate
and clever movement set the tone for Chelsea out of possession. Juventus
were suffocated in the early stages, with N'Golo Kante pushing forward to
join the pressing ranks, which provided the platform for our bright start.


Ben Chilwell, Hudson-Odoi, Hakim Ziyech and Pulisic all dovetailed to
great effect, often from left-sided starting positions, and the visitors'
midfield was forensically pulled apart as a result, leaving spaces for the
wing-backs to consistently exploit.

Tuchel's tactical tweaks, so subtle from game to game yet so effective in
combating the opposition and accentuating our strengths, worked a treat
once again.


== Set-piece specialists ==


Just like at Leicester City at the weekend, a set-piece provided the
breakthrough, our ninth goal of the season from such a route.


There was perhaps a touch of fortune with how the ball ricocheted off
Antonio Rudiger and into the path of Chalobah, not to mention the nervous
wait for VAR to rubber-stamp it following appeals for handball from the
visitors, but the close-range finish was as emphatic as you're likely to
see.


It gave the 22-year-old his third goal of the season, a useful trait for a
centre-back, as he followed his goalscoring Premier League debut by
notching on his first Champions League start.


== Ominious opponents ==


Tuchel stated at his unveiling press conference back in January that 'we
will build a team nobody wants to play against' and that is as true now as
it has ever been during the German's reign. Chelsea have momentum both at
home and abroad, a self-assuredness built upon our measly defence.


In Tuchel's 50th match in charge of the club, we kept a 31st clean sheet,
more than any other side in Europe's big five leagues during that period.
Only 24 goals have been conceded on the Bavarian's watch (0.48 per game).
In 2021/22, we have conceded four times in the Premier League and just
once, away at Juve, in the Champions League; both are competition bests.

50 - This was Thomas Tuchel's 50th match in charge of Chelsea in all
competitions, and 32nd win (D11 L7). The Blues have kept 31 clean sheets
in those 50 games, more than any other side in Europe's big-five leagues
in this period, conceding just 24 goals. Elite.


On the rare occasion our backline was breached last night, a combination
of anticipation, agility and bravery preserved the clean sheet. Juventus
had two shots on target, one in each half.


Alvaro Morata had seemingly equalised before the break until Thiago Silva
arrived on the scene to hook the dropping ball off the line, while Edouard
Mendy made a decent save up high from Weston McKennie.

The visitors mustered an expected goals (xG) score of 0.75, compared to
3.09 for Chelsea, our highest in six games since the 7-0 thrashing of
Norwich City. We had 21 shots in total compared to Juve's eight, with
eight of our own on target and seven blocked.


== Viva la Cobham ==


For the first time in Chelsea history, we had three different Englishmen
on a Champions League scoresheet, only the third time that has happened
for any team in the competition, and that trio were all Cobham-produced
Academy graduates.


The cream of the crop was arguably James, who notched his fifth goal of
the season to take him clear at the top of our goalscoring charts. The
21-year-old had more shots (five) and shots on target (three) than any
other player on the pitch, while only Rudiger had more than his 82 touches
and only Ziyech could match his tally of three key passes.

His sledgehammer finish for our second of the night was another memorable
strike for the collection, his outrageous pinpoint pass on the half-volley
out to the left in the build-up to Werner's fourth another treat from the
top drawer of bewildering distribution.


Chalobah was solid and steady at the break while Hudson-Odoi, making his
seventh consecutive start for the Blues, continued his impressive work in
attack, scoring for the second time during that run.


'It's another excellent day for the Academy,' Tuchel said after the game.
'To have these talented, humble guys full of quality, and it's their
biggest dream to perform in blue at Stamford Bridge, it's so nice to be
part of it.'


The future may be prosperous for Chelsea but the present isn't looking too
bad either right now.
