UNDER-21 REPORT: CHELSEA 1-0 MIDDLESBROUGH

Posted on: Sat 08 Mar 2014


== Summary ==


Dermot Drummy's Under-21s moved into third place in the league table with
victory on a mild spring afternoon in Aldershot. A second half goal from
substitute Isak Ssewankambo settled the game and gave the young Blues
their third consecutive league win.


== Team news ==


There were three changes for the Blues from the side that beat Fulham in
their last outing at the start of February. Nathan Ake was missing as he
joined Jose Mourinho's first team squad for their game against Tottenham
later in the day, so Adam Nditi came into defence alongside Andreas
Christensen, Alex Davey and Fankaty Dabo.


Lewis Baker and John Swift, goalscorers in that 2-1 win over Fulham at
Motspur Park, were joined in midfield by Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Islam Feruz
led the line up front supported by Reece Mitchell and Izzy Brown from the
flanks. Mitchell Beeney continued in goal.


== First half ==


Both sides eased their way into the game in the opening exchanges, with
Jonathan Burn heading Callum Cooke's free kick from the left over and
Swift firing high from outside the box in the first 10 minutes.
Christensen had to be alert to cover at the front post and clear the
danger after good work down the left from Mark Kitching and Ryan Brobbel.


Feruz then tested Jayson Leutwiler in the Middlesbrough goal, chasing down
a seemingly lost cause and forcing a low save from the goalkeeper, before
the visitors' number one saw his woodwork rattling. Loftus-Cheek was
upended as he drove forward and Baker stepped up 30 yards out, bending an
excellent effort back off the crossbar.


Brobbel hit a speculative looping half-volley that narrowly dipped over
Beeney's bar, while Cooke saw a shot really well saved by Beeney as
Middlesbrough attacked with a numerical advantage for the first time in
the game.

Brobbel was involved again moments later, escaping in behind as a centre
from the left was delivered into the box, though the winger couldn't quite
connect to divert the ball towards goal. Baker then brought out a very
good save from Leutwiler with a rasping drive after good work down the
right by Mitchell and Feruz.


The visiting goalkeeper saved from Feruz in the final few minutes as
neither side could find a breakthrough before the interval.


== Second half ==


The visitors started the second period strongly and Beeney had to be at
his best to keep the scores level in the opening five minutes. First he
denied Cooke after substitute Scott McCartny had supplied from the right,
before tipping a fierce effort from the same player onto the woodwork.


In response, Mitchell picked up a loose ball on the edge of the box and
saw a drive towards the far post pushed around the post by Leutwiler,
before Ssewankambo prodded a shot narrowly over after a corner from the
left.


The game was opening up and it wasn't long before the deadlock was broken.
Ssewankambo and Swift combined as they moved into the box and the
substitute was neatly teed up by Swift, before finishing confidently
beyond the onrushing Leutwiler for his first goal of the season.

Bradley Fewster bent a shot wide as the visitors looked for an equaliser,
while Swift shot high and then had a deflected effort gathered comfortably
by the goalkeeper. Substitute Ola Aina almost had an immediate impact as
his right-footed dipping strike was shovelled away by the goalkeeper,
before Brobbel's deflected shot flew inches beyond the upright.


The visitors did manage to get the ball in the back of the net as Fewster
finished smartly after a ball through from Cooke, though the linesman's
flag ruled the striker offside. Swift then stung the palms of Leutwiler
and Baker's free kick was pushed away as Drummy's side looked for a
decisive second goal.


The young Blues had to cleverly manage the game in the final minutes and
Baker had a chance to double their tally but his effort was well blocked
by Burn. That was the game's final action as Chelsea secured all three
points and moved into third place in the league table.


Next up for Drummy's side is an Under-19s UEFA Youth League quarter-final
against Schalke at Cobham next Sunday, 16 March.


Manager reaction


Manager Drummy paid tribute to the opposition from the North East and
admitted they provided one of this season's toughest tests for his side.
Speaking to the official Chelsea website after the game, he said: 'After
international week where we had seven or eight players away I thought we
really had to dig deep and play a slightly different game than normal at
times because of Middlesbrough's quality.


'They pressed us, used their wingers really well and tried to play and I
think that's probably the toughest game we've had all season. Mitchell
Beeney made some big saves, Andreas Christensen and Alex Davey performed
admirably at the back and it was a great goal from Isak Ssewankambo.'


Juggling the demands of league campaigns at Under-21 and Under-18 level,
as well as the UEFA Youth League and FA Youth Cup, has been a challenge
for the Academy in recent weeks but Drummy admitted the most important
thing was getting three points in this game.


'We knew Izzy Brown could only play about an hour because of a recent
injury and we had Tuesday's game [against Newcastle in the FA Youth Cup
quarter-final] in the back of our mind but first and foremost we had to
get three points today.


'We're now up to third with a couple of games in hand and we're having a
fantastic season. I watched the Under-18s play yesterday and, despite
losing 3-0, they were brilliant against Fulham with 10 schoolboys
involved. I thought that was a credit to the work the younger coaches, as
well as Adi [Viveash] and Joe [Edwards], are doing in the Academy.'

當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中，
在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離
幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如
萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花
朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺
流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。
