經過開場的不順暢，之後的比賽可說是一面全倒
貝克在中場調度，斯威福特在前場自由進出，和克旺米亞心有靈犀，結果毫無懸念
不過推特上看到一個說法，滿讚同的
本屆歐青聯跟上季的新一代還是有差，畢竟這些能打歐冠的球隊的青年隊不一定強
對小朋友的鍛鍊反而不如之前的新一代
但總之這季的比賽場次大幅增加，也是種進步

UEFA YOUTH LEAGUE REPORT: STEAUA BUCHAREST 0 CHELSEA 4

Posted on: Tue 01 Oct 2013


== Summary ==


Our first away game in the UEFA Youth League ended in victory as our
Under-19s beat Steaua Bucharest 4-0 courtesy of two goals apiece for John
Swift and Alex Kiwomya.


We dominated proceedings during the first half and took the lead when
Swift, the outstanding player on the pitch, rounded off a brilliant move
with his fourth goal of the campaign shortly before the half-hour mark,
and that's the way it remained until the break.


Five minutes into the second half it was 2-0 as Swift turned supplier,
releasing Kiwomya who finished calmly to put us firmly in control of the
contest.


Swift added his second and our third 12 minutes from time with a wonderful
solo effort, before laying on the fourth for Kiwomya in the 87th minute.


It's now maximum points, eight goals scored and none conceded from our
opening two matches in the competition and we can now look forward to our
next encounter, an away game against Schalke next month.


== Team news ==


Under-19s manager Dermot Drummy named an unchanged side from the one which
opened our campaign with a 4-0 win over Basel a fortnight ago. Nathan Ake
skippered the team alongside Andreas Christensen in the centre of defence,
while Kevin Wright, impressive against the Swiss outfit, retained his
place at left-back. Lewis Baker, an unused substitute for the first team
against Swindon Town last week, started in midfield, with Islam Feruz
chosen to lead the line. Kasey Palmer was rewarded for his recent
performances for the Under-18s with a place on the bench.


== First half ==


The home side came into the match in desperate need of the three points
having lost their opening game in the competition 3-0 against Schalke, but
it was the Blues who had the first sight of goal inside the opening four
minutes.


After picking up an Ake pass out wide on the left Isaiah Brown evaded the
challenge of Alin Iordache; his cross was deflected into the path of
Kiwomya, presenting the Chelsea wide-man with a golden opportunity to give
us the lead, but with the goal at his mercy he steered his volley wide.


It was a bright start by our youngsters, who were beginning to play some
nice stuff, and moments later we saw another good opportunity go begging.
Brown, this time in a more central position, supplied a lovely ball in
behind the Steaua defence, but as Feruz raced through on goal, rather than
taking the shot on he attempted to go around the goalkeeper, and Valentin
Cojocaru was able to make the save at the striker's feet.


The Blues were looking threatening every time we attacked, with the
midfield trio of Baker, Swift and Ruben Loftus-Cheek dominating their
Romanian counterparts in that area of the pitch, while also limiting the
service to Steaua's more creative players further forward.

Time and again, both through the middle and wide areas, we were able to
utilise the spaces which were afforded through Steaua's preference for
adopting a high defensive line, but all too often we were let down by our
final ball.


Our pressure, however, eventually told in the 26th minute, when we took a
thoroughly deserved lead, and in some style.


A move which started in our own half saw Isak Ssewankambo and Swift
involved before Loftus-Cheek released Kiwomya down the right flank with an
intelligent flick. Swift had continued his run from deep and, as Kiwomya
delivered a perfect cross to the far post the midfielder, who had timed
his arrival to perfection, volleyed past Cojocaru to break the deadlock.


It was a fair reflection on how the game had developed, and seven minutes
before the break our advantage was almost extended when Feruz, a
peripheral figure for much of the first half, reacted quickest to pounce
on Ake's flick, but saw his header drop a fraction over the bar.


As the opening 45 minutes drew to a close there was much to be admired
about our display, with the biggest concern the fact we weren't leading by
a more significant margin.


== Second half ==


The second half began in a similar manner to how the first had ended, with
Chelsea taking the game to our hosts, and Kiwomya was first to threaten,
forcing a smart stop from Cojocaru at the near-post following a neat Swift
lay-off.


A couple of minutes later, though, the same two players combined once
again, and on this occasion we weren't to be denied. Loftus-Cheek fed
Swift just inside the Steaua half and, spotting the run of Kiwomya, he
slipped a delightful ball into his path, and with only the goalkeeper to
beat Kiwomya showed great composure to finish calmly and double our
advantage.


The second goal seemed to take the sting out of the game slightly, with
much of the ensuing period of play taking place in the midfield area.


Steaua substitute Razvan Stoica, on one of their rare forays into our
penalty area, found himself booked for simulation when he went down after
attempting to round Mitchell Beeney in the Chelsea goal, while at the
other end Kiwomya should have put us out of sight when he raced through
one-on-one with the 'keeper, but as he went for a stylish chip Cojocaru
made the save.


As the home side began to throw players forward in an attempt to force a
way back into the game, spaces inevitably opened up for us on the break.
Another chance went begging when Feruz saw his volley saved by Cojocaru
from a Kiwomya cross, but with 12 minutes left to play the match was put
to bed.

Baker worked his way to the by-line and picked out the unmarked Swift on
the edge of the box with an excellent cross. As Swift brought the ball
under control, he eased away from one challenge before jinking back inside
another, sending Cojocaru to ground with a dummy and firing into the back
of the net.


It was a goal of the highest quality and no more than Swift's performance
had merited with the Blues midfielder undoubtedly the outstanding player
on the pitch.


There was still time for more, however, and it was no surprise that our
fourth goal, which came with three minutes left to play, involved both
Swift and Kiwomya, with the former crossing from wide on the right for the
latter to finish easily.


== Manager Reaction ==


Dermot Drummy was pleased with his team as a whole and the attractive
football played.


'It was a tough performance and the 4-0 was a credit to the way we
continued to play open football,' he said.


'Steaua were very organised and worked to the end of the game which made
it very difficult for us. But we had the pace of Alex Kiwomya and the
industry and guile of John Swift who is showing a lot more intelligence in
his play and he turned in a star performance.


'But credit to all the boys, they have done really well but we can't get
carried away, we have to keep picking up points to qualify for the next
stage.


'The conditions were cold but the pitch was good and fast and the boys
movedthe ball well, and Steaua did as well at times so it was a
top-quality game and this competition gives you that.


'We now watch the first team tonight, travel back on the plane with them,
a day off tomorrow and then we prepare for the Under-21 game against Man
City on Sunday.'
