Chelsea have just set a record for the biggest win in the history of the Conference League when they defeated their opponents Noah with a score of 8-0. After 3 matches in the third-tier European competition, Enzo Maresca and his team have scored many goals in each match and become the number 1 candidate for the championship.
"Chelsea's victory over Noah is not surprising because this team is young and clearly aggressive. Victory over this opponent not only means bringing home 3 points, it also adds excitement to Maresca's team in the upcoming matches" - Commentator Quang Huy commented.
Before this season, The Blues were criticized for having a chaotic squad when they bought so many players. At one point, Maresca had 47 first-team players in his squad and received a lot of criticism. However, when the new season started, Chelsea had to play in 4 arenas, then fans saw why the London team used this transfer method.
In secondary competitions such as the League Cup or Conference League, Maresca often rotates many starting positions, even replacing 11 players in one match. In addition, the Italian coach also removed Cole Palmer's name from the Conference League registration list.
The end result is what counts most and Chelsea have done it perfectly, keeping their key players in the side ahead of the London Derby.
"From the beginning of the season, Enzo Maresca had a very clear point of view. How many players the owners buy is their business, but for this strategist, he has his own way of filtering. The proof is the example of Enzo Fernandez, he may be good but when needed, the central midfield pair chosen is still Moise Caicedo and Romeo Lavia" - Commentator Quang Huy shared.
Before round 11 of the Premier League, Chelsea was ranked 4th, equal on points with Arsenal right behind. In this match, The Blues played at home and received a lot of expectations to win, even being the team that was rated higher when Arsenal was not in good form.
"I don't feel too secure about Chelsea in this match. They may be good but when facing big teams they always show their lack of experience at some point. This is something Arsenal can exploit.
In the next match, when Martin Odegaard and some key players have gradually returned, Arsenal will most likely show a different side from last week. I think the "Gunners" will have a result from a draw to a win right on the away field" - Commentator Quang Huy predicted.
