Direct, that's how we live it
The game started with school hubbub, like a game between group A and B at recess.
The
Champions League
anthem
had instilled enthusiasm and a certain disorder in the players.
Inaccuracies, long jogs, the heat map like a pepperoni pizza.
Thus, the game was not going anywhere.
The coaches cheered on the band.
In the 13th minute,
Jorginho
stopped
Ocampos
with judoka nobility in one of those crazy snatches.
Davide massa
He showed a yellow card to the Italian-Brazilian midfielder.
The game came to a sudden halt.
The feeling of lack of control was relieved.
Architecture conquered, little by little.
Sevilla was doing warmly with the ball.
The first chance of danger came from his side, a direct free kick into the area, which
Gudelj
headed hard.
Mendy
, who was replacing a deteriorated Kepa in goal
blue
, threw a miraculous hand to avoid the goal.
The shock was more natural then, more measured, more to the liking of those who earn their bread making fuss from the bench.
The Andalusian team rose over the English team.
Sevilla were not bothered by the ball.
He distributed with temper, extended possessions, conquered the sides;
He was only resisting the connection with
De Jong
, very deep in the defense, blunt, without authority in the area.
Things went wrong for
Lopetegui
when they had the game more controlled.
Sergi Gómez, at 30, asked for the change.
Without
Koundé
and with
Rekik
still protected, it was
Fernando
who delayed his position.
Jordan stepped on the grass and his team remained bossy and confident.
An official stop by Mendy, after a soft shot by Ocampos, served to end the first half.
After the dressing room, a new look of debauchery.
Long balls, sterile races and uncertainty.
It was good for Chelsea to see Sevilla fluttering after the restart.
Those of
Lampard
stepped Bono area easily, but without patience.
Óliver Torres
entered
to redirect the chaos, to recover the ball, to definitely go for victory.
The English coach countered with
Ziyech
, skill and goal, to take advantage of his harassment of the Nervionian goal.
Only
Acuña's
momentum
in the band, Gudelj's fly-by-hand in the midfield and Fernando's sobriety as a defender, kept a Sevilla suffering afloat on the
Stamford Bridge
pitch
.
A volley from
Jordan
in 66, which narrowly went up, served as an incentive for his team.
The pressure and exhaustion spoiled the game, which seemed doomed to zero to zero.
Neither
Werner
nor De Jong could prevail on their markers.
Centripetal football.
Muddy occasions.
Lopetegui faced the final
stretch
with
En-Nesyri
and
Vázquez
.
But Chelsea was already well sheltered, waiting, comfortable in the bilge, and Sevilla no longer had chiribitas to look for a goal that was never close, despite a game as serious as it was obtuse, at the height of such a demanding competition.
