Na una see Chelsea and Burnley match? E be like say Chelsea no sabi wetin dem dey do for first half. E don be like say dem lazy after di international break, carry dem head like misplacing shaku shaku.
We no dey too surprised when Enzo Maresca switch things up. But abeg, the way him take pull Reece James for bench, na im be the real shocker. Na so Benoit Badiashile come waka enter di pitch. This change mean Trevoh Chalobah go carry di workload for di right side, where our guy James normally dey shine.
Wetin dey make us dey panic? Na James injury history. Any time we see am come off, we dey fear say e don knack imself again (tell me why dis guy no fit get one month wey e go dey free?).
Dem technical problems dey delay di match restart, and all di cameras don capture James wey dey waka comot from dressing room. Dis guy dey shine like say na him be di star of di match. Even commentators notice say e be like sey na planned change. E good for am make e fit play for di big matches wey dey come next week.
Maresca go still talk after di match, but we don already sabi wetin him go yarn. Him go talk say ‘na di plan from di beginning,’ like we no sabi say na so e dey go always. Di second half dey go better small, but we still dey miss our James. Na risk wey worth am if e fit show face against Arsenal and Barcelona next week, abi no be so?
In di first half, Chelsea only get small shine when Pedro Neto head di ball inside and give dem di lead. Na wetin we go dey call quality attack, but no be like di usual Chelsea we sabi.
Before di match start, Maresca don talk about di Cole Palmer matter and wetin dey happen with di guy wey get injury for im foot like say na magic trick. Na him be di talk of di town now, but make we see wetin go happen next.
