live

, is there anyone you're thinking well of in games like today?

Where are you looking for more experienced players or maybe someone has a little magic in the books? Well I think. Firstly, when you play a team like Spurs and again from Chelsea's perspective, well, they are our biggest rival so what I want to see is some kind of driving effort from everyone. I want to see that infusion, that will to win games. We also want to see ourselves play great football which sometimes comes at a cost, but you know good football because I think that at this level learning the game is more important than winning all the consecutive

match

es ever. you are going to achieve that, but I think learning the game and improving past performances if we can make some improvement.

I think that's all we're looking for. I'm sure everyone is looking for that. That is the position we want to achieve. Good start, also be confident, know, be positive and use the ball well and see if we can play forward thinking football absolutely well, especially as realistically a lot of these guys are being given the opportunity to play the next two weeks when there is not a lot of competitive football Elsewhere for Chelsea Football Club, including the development team. I've had a game for a good few weeks now, so any chance to impress one or two faces and one or two eyes maybe that don't normally have your attention, maybe during this break it'll be a chance for them to show that they're well prepared.

I think at this level of football I think we are learning to impress on every occasion. I don't think there is a time these days when these young people can switch off they can get into a position where mentally they are not well I think they get well before kick off they think about what they are going to do be positive and have confidence they are important words but it's difficult and it's difficult to do regularly at this level and I think that's what progresses you to the next stage, further on, which is where everyone wants to go.

A couple of players to keep an eye on for Spurs this morning. um will share who is a real talent. striker apart from Sheffield United recently Jamie Donnelly who we briefly saw come on as a substitute in the tl2 game against Chelsea about a month ago and also another in Mikey Moore who is definitely a goalscorer, in fact scored twice in his recent five about winning their channel in the cup pl um, it means a lot when you play um Chelsea versus Spurs Clive, you've played in this game at Chelsea Youth Leatherland, obviously, he's a senior player, too, does it mean more or not?

Something that as fans we get too excited about, well I think what you do at this level is you learn that it's hugely important for the fans, that's what you really learn today, it's just another game against another important Premier League. team at this level, but you learn that when you advance, the day you are on the edge of the first team, how important it is for the fans, they are the ones who have the history, where we want to come from. So you can understand that you know this is a learning curve, as is everything related to this age group, so if you can get that through your head, I'm sure they're telling them, I'm sure the senior players have said it. them in the past and I'm sure you learn it from the coaches and the staff, hey, this is an important topic, this is Tottenham, we don't lose Tottenham, you know that kind of talk and finally, when you say it loud enough frequency, you learn, so yeah, that's why I expect this to be a high pace, a high level of effort and drive and that determination to keep going and win the game in all disciplines.

It's definitely one, isn't it definitely? Chelsea something is a and also. I'm wondering what your opinion is on this because there are quite a few common products and the Chelsea Academy players will be representing their nations in the World Cup there. It's something you look at and aspire to because you know well that there is now a line that you can tread and follow it's something you look at well, it's been a lovely thing to watch over the last 20 years to be honest, the way that academia has developed as a whole, the buildings, the whole aspect.

What's out there is brilliant, you know, and it's improved immensely over the last 20 years, just like the players you know. Someone asked me a question the other day when we were playing the game we played the other day and I don't remember what it is. Several games we've had where we've had Academy players, several of them playing, I think we had up to seven the other day, you know, and I look back and someone said to me so well, would you have that many in your day? I said well we probably had 11 that I could name so they still have a way to go however the world is a different world and football is different of course so yeah great it's great to see this opportunity for these young people to now see an Avenue more aligned forward. to the first team, which you feel at this stage is where each and every one of them wants to go, obviously times change as you go, but they learn now and before, actually, that you have to play well in every game , sometimes your game is different. and it is understandable that that happens, but you are going to set the work pace.

I think that's where we want the first team to also talk about putting the work path. We will be good enough because we have good players, absolutely right. We hope that's something we see this morning when Tottenham get going. Chelsea and Spurs seem to be getting quite close and of course we'll see that in the women's game tomorrow afternoon here at Stamford Bridge as well as Chelsea coming up against each other. In the WSL for now we are focused on this under 18 Premier League match, it is an early sign of Mendelado chewing. We know how good he can be with the ball straight back to the midfield pivot.

We think it could be Michael Golden and Keanu now. Dyer focused a bit more on maintaining that form for Chelsea, as Frankie leads it looking to get the ball early and Bonnie takes it on looking for overlap. Frankie directs it, he is an interesting character and he has already made his debut in the UEFA Youth League. Chelsea and just turned 16 years old. I believe in the beginning that he will be, sir. Continue your good form against Tottenham this afternoon. Donaldson came forward very quickly and made sure not much happened with the Spurs, but the first minute was a good start.

Chelsea is good when you play in the opponent's half, right? I think that's where you want to be. What is inevitable in this game are players who really tighten up and don't allow you to play. I think either team has time to play or play more roles and they will take you off the field, so the work rate will obviously be there in these early stages and we have to close and it looks like we are trying to play a little bit. of a press and if we can get some support behind and win the ball at the top of the tent, you already mentioned that cloud that the high press is already very frequent and Lewis Flower doing the difficult yards from the beginning to prepare his team and something that we obviously saw in the pl2 game and that is seen in the first team and I suppose that now it is a more recognizable culture that is seen in all the football clubs where the 18 and 21 year olds and in all the systems everyone plays similarly, yeah, it's funny how that happens and you know the game has changed in that sense, that everyone plays the same way.

You know, looking back on Years By, that was never the case, but it's interesting to look at it this way because it's forced. the players had to be good with the ball have two good feet to be able to pass the players could always pass the players could always score goals but they were not always as well balanced as they are today an early opportunity but fairly well defended by Amanda ladoe was talking about trying to build something. You are absolutely right and it feels a lot now that you establish the culture from the ground up and you know the number of players we have seen progress to playing first. team, I guess if you are comfortable playing in the same way and throughout the age that we see for the national teams, also if you have a similar way of playing, that will only suit the first team coach eventually at some point absolutely.

As long as it stays the same, you know, we're always thinking that someone has to come up with other ideas to change it and sometimes when you do that, you catch people on The Hop a little bit, you make it different, I mean, I guess. The best example is Pep Guardiola, who came and the way he managed Manchester City and still does, of course, at the level they play at and it doesn't matter what players they have, they rotate players year after year, but the style . This has been different, it's changed football in a lot of ways, so it's good to see that happen, but one day someone will say: "Well, you know what I've seen, something that's a little bit different, can we turn it around?" ?", which will change football again. style of football and what it is like, but until that day happens, you know that these guys are going to play the same way, absolutely correct, absolutely correct, and you can see that Tottenham are already looking to do the same and play the same way and build from the back and Little interaction here looking for an early touch from Jamie Donnelly who again we know can certainly cause Chelsea problems from this morning until the early afternoon.

Here is the top 10. A lot of pressure wearing the Tottenham number 10 shirt for Jamie Donnelly today. but certainly something he is very comfortable with scoring 16th and 18th goals in 18 Premier League games last season and there is an early challenge from Golden on little Lancashire going to concede the free kick but we have to be important to for us is to maintain good form and I think that when you give away three concerts, it's okay, tics like this are important to be the first to receive the ball. Good to see you in a blue Chelsea shirt on this.

There is an early free kick. It is deep towards the second hanging post. very high, but the referee saw something, whether it was the linesman's flag or something, but Chelsea will know how to relax and resume the game with Ted Curd in the Chelsea goal. I think that was interesting, that damn delivery was. horrible, it really was horrible and it helps you as a defender to deal with it. You know it was a long way from getting there. It is too high. If someone heads it, it is almost impossible to score, to get the rhythm of the ball to beat the goalkeeper. from that kind of distance and I just don't understand, I'm sure that as a first team, every first team tracked their stuff on the training ground and made a complete mess at their first opportunity because this could be about this could be a fight that It's Deadpool situations so you want to get it right but getting it so wrong was ridiculous it just helped us we'll take it certainly there's going to be a battle between Ronnie's face and Liam's face it's going to be a shot. ready for George Abbott to try and take now for Spurs, about a minute is wasted trying to find another ball.

The foreigners want to keep up the pace and it's important that they do, sometimes teams just zone out a little when this situation happens anyway. we do it again, in fact, as a lancshare and a fight between the Spurs number nine, he gives away a free kick, I'm not too sure, but Harrison Murray Campbell will certainly be pleased with that. I think I think we're going to get three kicks, to be honest. he's a bit soft that gets us out of trouble absolutely true, actually Dorrington doesn't risk him being there for the Spurs, he loops it towards Travis Akmir, he can get him away very well, yeah, there's no real pattern to the game since neither side.

The two sides have a bit in the opponent's camp so far, but nothing reallysuggests that one of the teams is going to dominate that, there's just no real pattern because it's lively and open and it's very, very fast and everyone is doing what we thought they were doing. closed and forcing mistakes and that's what's happening overseasI tried to give him the ball early but I put pressure from Chelsea's number six in Kiana died. Got a patient approach for the first seven minutes as he ran away with no real view and a goal for either of us, but Judah Mandela tried to do something there. throws the ball in the air, he's winning it in the end, although just around the corner is Mikey Moore moving forward now for Spurs, yes, okay, Martin moves away from two or three, it's a lovely delicate pass, now here is Williams back in the Donnelly Chelsea bodies. around him Bonnie face does well keep going I'm just following the race there George Abbott very well defended by Bonnie face takes it to the end good defense from everyone to be honest and again there's a good line there everyone pushes up when it comes the ball goes back to the ball that is going to be delivered, everyone pushes up three or four steps, it just gives the goalkeeper a little more space to come and go and collect and again good collective defense there, I guess it forces Chelsea to having to think twice when trying to play from the back and Murray Campbell can loot the ball towards Flower who intervened from Dorrington, early start from Ed Brown's side.

Sometimes he has an agitated character on the touchline, but so far he is quite composed, there is nothing wrong with that, there is nothing wrong with that. kick every ball, didn't it have a mark? Actually, I'm talking about playing the ball and my two Chelsea arms in the air looking for a foul, but the referee is not interested, here is Dorrington, a player who has two eyes on him as being involved in the major. The areas for the Spurs are already very composed they sent the half and here he is with the ball again composing that aspect that was the harassment forced him to consider the shot.

It's a lovely quick shot, bite, run towards Lewis's flower, you'll just need him to hold it if we. Can I, oh, it's just that we're going to run that loan channel and run into areas where you can still get the ball first. I just want to be able to keep it, always difficult colored players around him this time. Can I die so as not to deter? The bite of him on the leg that Olasese left inside quickly stood up and simply continued. The beautiful feet at the end of the range speak to that moment. Imagine this is very much a man who can produce what we've already seen this season.

Play there for Michael Golden too to force the serve, yeah, just lose them with worry, don't you? Because if the balls between the goalkeeper and the defender and he had to deal with it, good pressure from Chelsea, Bonnie faces, that's a run, it's an Impressive start to the season as she looks for a deep cross towards Mendelado. It's a good ball, isn't it? It was a good ball. The goalkeeper was unsure again just as we counterattacked in that sense, but he just needs to help find that extra task. Maybe figure it out, goodbye, piano diet, that's a lot, he gets dirty work, he just trains and plays and breaks the game, that's very important to the way every Chelsea team plays, you know, but one of the best in the world in golo Conte who does it. "That's in the first team, so I guess if you're watching videos like that he's not a bad person to learn from, so he can't come close to that type of game, then you're something special.

I'm not the best in the world , that decision plays in. I guess it's again composed with the ball at the back. It's not quite the intense nature that we've seen in the London derbies in the past, but I'm sure at some point we will certainly. I have a sense of that now that we're through the first 10 11 minutes, right? The pressure that we put on initially has just eased off a little bit. I think sometimes you gauge the quality of the players that you're playing against it felt explosive when. Joshua Chianton ran there, they are showing good skills there as they break in between defenders or midfield players like it was on this occasion and they are still aware of the players around and he can be brought down quicker by the right decision.

In fact, some of these players were involved in Chelsea's last UEFA Youth League match which they won 4-0 against Dinozar Grab, so many had that opportunity that day to perhaps write down some mistakes from the first part of the season , but it's early. The free kick that will be taken this morning is a free header from Rakamiras, another of those involved. I'm wondering that because you mentioned at the top of the game that you know it's development and it's about learning experiences, it's a pit. trite question, but learn more from defeats and disappointments rather than everything going well as you get older and in the younger age groups because Chelsea win everything so regularly that when it doesn't go well, it's a bit of a shock to the system sometimes yes, I'm not so sure, I'm not so sure that's the case, there's also a fault here, it could also be a problem for Lewis' steering wheel, but it's just a late challenge, I'm not so sure that, huh.

Yes, the refugee is going to talk to him, so this is not a yellow card, maybe just a Stern wood that really affects you when you lose games where you learn a lot. I think you can learn something from every game. you're playing, I think you can learn a lot from the good things you do because you want to do them over and over again, so it's a bit of a strange question, sometimes I'll just go back to that for free. Kick it again too, we talked about the free kick for Spurs earlier, it just floated in, there's no way you can score a header from there, they'll either hit it with more pace or put it right at the far post to unlock it again, But again. the game is about learning and if you can learn something from any game you play then that is positive so if each of these 22 players here learn something from today, good, bad, indifferent, they have learned something and that is where you want to learn.

Be it that way, the more games you play, the better. I hope the lesson they learn is how to beat Spurs 100, which is a lovely little twist around the corner from Lancashire, but hey, it's a lovely film to get to know one about, yeah, the only thing is. It would look nice if you had a runner. I think you can learn from the fact that he left it blind. Take a look first to see where the players are around. If you're inside the penalty area, definitely do it blind because that's important. you get a strike, all they've done is lose possession and give us the ball back and that's one of the million reasons why Clive White you played at such a high level and I'm sitting next to you talking about it, this is a chance. for mendelado one or two question marks maybe one or two question marks maybe about a penalty there, but I ignored it.

I'll tell you what a great move it is and it's a lovely ball to run towards and she does it very well. Two players enter. about him I think they made contact with the ball I'll have to give them the benefit of the doubt there another day you make a mistake it's a foreign penalty here's Donnelly from the Spurs although he hit a handball there oh Kiana died it was absolutely safe but the Spurs have played with your back to the whistle, something you can learn. I mean, I don't think that's handball, I think it is, since he tried to clean his hands in a natural position.

Just because it hits the arm doesn't mean it's Handball has to be played in those areas here at Brandon Touch Island, a member of the coaching staff of him shows that the players are on and know their roles for this morning. Here's a free kick in a comfortable area for Chelsea, okay though, poor clumsy challenge, forwards challenge yes Returning this position is good in a sense because you have the enthusiasm to go in and try to win it, but you have to be more careful not to reveal nothing. The 15 minutes have been quite cautious between the two.

It's not real. Wanting to go here is Jamie Donnelly looking to change that for Tottenham looking for more movement around the corner. Donnie could be him and here with the possibility of him being a good save. At the end next to the sidewalk, he falls into the air well defended by Bonnie's face. in the end, instead of being the last McMahon, but running you can hear the Chelsea lines only as far as Dorrington, although I'm starting to get a bit more into this game, Clive, yes they are, they're just pressing forward, there's a physicality at the Spurs that's probably a little bit. a bit, uh, discouraging for us in a sense, one or two players that you know well on the ball and don't really get brought down very easily, uh, Donnelly, for example, obviously looks good and is tough and secures the ball very, very good, and we are just receiving Run behind him, so when he receives the ball, he looks towards our goal, he is undoubtedly a dangerous player who has already caught the attention of one or two.

He's in for a tough start to the season, although he was injured and is feeling his way back. but he certainly he is a great player for Tottenham at this level of football, and even in pl2 he said that he came on against Chelsea a couple of weeks ago at King's Meadow, you can see it straight away. I think he hit the post and just let the side net fall. about 90 seconds after coming in, so he's certainly someone Chelsea should keep an eye on, already in the right area, in the right space, we could cause some damage, so we just have to keep an eye out to think about the Akamir and Murray Campbell were exchanging passes in a half there and this flower falling deep too, everyone has closed and weave things together for Chelsea, but she gets in there and intercepts Michael Golden's pass, well, my space to run towards the flower for support and Bonnie breaks the stomach to come out. of him, if you can find it, it's not a bad idea, it's not a bad little run, besides, the first pass might have worked, he just overheated a little.

Let's first look to counterattack immediately, quickly get close to Murray Campbell who can block it and again in a similar position. I saw 30 seconds ago that he and Golding exchanged passes and there's a flower there, there's a little bit of togetherness there. I think he fell in love, didn't he with George Abbott at the end? I think he's had a bit of a big push from Torrington. I just collided with another first player, so he's taking a little bump on the nose, which might probably hurt a little, but I hope he's okay. I can see it here, like you said, it's all over the place, so to me the The referee whistles too late there's a foul obviously he has his arms on him if he blows the whistle a little before the collision might not have happened but again I would like to see the referees keep the game flowing.

I understand why but certainly an uncomfortable foul for Lewis Flower, luckily he is fine and can continue with this. He is still feeling the effects, but Chelsea are once again underweight. It's good to see us play as often as possible, but of course there is danger. Clear lines. Chelsea, very blessed with the goalkeeper. Department actually at youth level, obviously, for the curds, like today, he also started the Tail Cup game against Derby a week ago, but Campbell is on the bench started Chelsea's last under 18s game, It is an opportunity for Spurs that we will return to.

Mikey Moore comes into the box, now it's a good shot at the goals for a good save and so does Ted Kurt. Yes, initially we gave the ball away cheaply, but I think what we did afterwards was force a wider position, which is the right thing to do. Did you have to shoot at a tight angle to your goalkeeper to do the same from there? Very high pressure again from Chelsea. He forced Spurs goalkeeper Luca Gunter to return. 20 minutes played at Tottenham Hotspur's fantastic training facilities. Yes, that is not so. saying we gave this ball away for a bit cheap just trying to get a good defense back just as we pushed it in a wide zap position seeing three Spurs players coming in that would be the danger any chance now is a loop and a cross towards Lancashire and distributed with first Murray Campbell and then Akamir and Shields the ball, as Josh ampong is forced to connect it, wins the throne for Chelsea.

It's a good defense again. Murray Campbell is getting behind his partner in the back. I will enter. he just manages to make it clear the first time, you know that's what you want your partner to do, that's how you work, one misses it, the other gets it, forming a great partnership, these two really play at center half one side by side, it's usually a mix of acamia or Kaden Wilson. along with Murray Campbell, who has hardly ever been present in Chelsea's defense in the 18th Premier League so far, but both look very calm so far and start from Chelsea's perspective. 20 minutes have passed. 21 and a half minutes have passed and still no goals, there is still no real key.

Chances when Mikey Moore tries to take one from range, it's a couple of saves againfor the goalkeeper, okay, I hope I do that so that it doesn't actually seem so good to you, in the end there is a delivery that was also good? giving it away again really a good feat initially there, Frankie runs to work and makes angled passes. I can find a Chelsea body, very high Chelsea pressure, yeah, sometimes you just see an opportunity, right? and then you have to come in and it's important that everyone goes well, we're going to win the ball at the top, one or two Chelsea players, uh, Chelsea, unhappy with a throne, you know, that's lovely too, they're waiting for a is missing and they are calling Lino.

All we're told is that the system's arbiters now can't get that out fast enough. It's interesting. It remains a line all these years. Now it's an opportunity for Michael Golden in the box and this cutting left side. pushes him towards it's not bad it's in no man's land inIn many ways, Max Shears escaped from Murray Campbell, who stayed in a heat piece to return to his position while Mikey Moore got him one on one with an ampong, that's very well, the Chelsea defender also does very well in two attempts. I'll also tell you what was strange when they won the ball there.

The Spurs went to the Square, you know. Center ass out of position, moves forward, there is a space to search, but he had to go to Square, which gave us the opportunity to get back into position. Us? A favor absolutely, come here with the captain's armband this morning in your face again looking to overlap it use the fullback's deep cross into Lewis Flower can't beat it it's a good chance for Chelsea so unfortunate it's a really very good counter attack. The first opening ball was excellent, everything went through their midfield area and then we had overlapping runs.

It's lovely to see. It's a fantastic game and again she picks it up and tries to get it into a good area at the far post, unfortunately for Lucy. I just can't get over the ball and direct it towards the goal, but super attack, wonderful attack, Chelsea's signature move or Frankie Branham's push to the left, as well as for the overlap of Bonnie facing like you said, Lewis Flower did almost everything right. Wouldn't it be like that if he was a couple of centimeters higher? I think Chelsea would take the lead. Yes. I just think it was a great attack and unfortunately all he needed was a shot and he didn't get it. but the only thing was good to see that we are the best shot on goal so far for both teams, just promising from Chelsea's perspective, it's a long pass for Kiamata looking towards Mikey Moore, but luckily Anton was up to the task.

Yeah, over and over again Mike Moore would have thought what kind of ball, to me, you know you've got a big backing in uhibong and he's not going to win the header, you know, and he must think I'm starting, but I want to. better quality, but again it suits us, it's interesting how the game develops in phases, although isn't it? We saw the openings start the game very scruffy, with high intensity, everyone closing out the first 10 minutes and then there was a period where maybe the Spurs took control. the game and it looked dangerous now we've had a couple of attacks that put us on the front foot if you will and the game swings back and forth and obviously obviously we're talking about the first goal again, this is where it could make a big difference.

If someone can pick up a loose ball and there is one absolutely right at the right time, Frankie Runamu does indeed pick up a loose ball, he uses it. Michael Golden moves the One Way squares on his left foot. It's a deep center towards Mandela's mass with him. The distant person, Lewis Flower, is going to try to sneak in and create something diet-wise to run him off again. He was a threat. Frankie runs it straight with a deep cross towards Lewis Flower at the far post. It's a good ball. You know this has been cleared. all the defenders and when you say hang up, that's what we're talking about, hang him at the far post, that's what he's done.

I just repeat when we talk about a delivery of the ball that goes in without flavor, it is difficult to get Pace off the header and I think that, as a center forward, that is where you make a bet and you just sit back, put on your laces and smash it towards the goal and that's how you create the power and hopefully the precision, because we saw that the header was soft and weak and it was easy for the goalkeeper two sightings in the last minutes A uh goal from Lewis flor a player of his quality The Spurs won't want to give him too many more of those without feeling the effects so I'm trying to create something for themselves here it's an opportunity to evaluate and it's also a really good ball but Lancia again threw a pass wide in a similar opportunity to the one we saw five or six minutes ago, potentially from Lewis Flower, that's a There's half a chance: you have to say it's a good ball early, they have to say defensively and also if you can't win the ball, put pressure on the player and We almost did it.

You see the challenge coming in at the far post. de Bonifacina simply manages to put enough pressure on the header that he cannot direct it towards the goal. They're doing a job at one end and the other, plus a beautiful clip all the way over the top towards Lewis Flower to get. Chelsea also Fiction the striker takes it quickly I don't see it very often it's one of my favorite hates, we see a lot of them in the Premier League I mean, but we don't see referees stopping play for that very often and I think okay again at this level you know those are the rules I'm afraid look at Ryan in fact I remember seeing one just a week ago actually at the Chelsea Arsenal game there was a free kick much to um's amusement, before thinking. it was Granite Shack who took it quickly, in fact, yes, the complaint, the big complaint will come when, of course, when a goal is scored with that kind of assist, if you will, then we are in AR territory and nobody wants that a Saturday morning. no, here's Keanu Dyer, it's a face of Bonnie and Frankie running towards the box now a chance he gives it back to Michael Golden what a brilliant finish brilliant goal from Chelsea wonderful preparation of the game by Frankie runs lovely turn runs towards the box, the block back and Michael Golding just crosses it into the far corner, what a finish.

Well, for me, it was all about the twist, wasn't it? Frankie ran them, it was really good, this is a good pitch, good pace on the ball, that's the turn, one touch turns the other way. He has no idea, then he lifts his head, really stays calm and, uh, Michael holds that just with love. Plenty of room for him to hit, to be fair, but he does it perfectly. Excellent ending. Fantastic ending. I'm glad it went well for him. He has recently scored for England's youth ranks and is absolutely feeling it at the moment. He started very well today and has given Chelsea a one-nil lead at Tottenham Hotspur's training ground, which will never stop sounding good.

Fantastic football, a brilliant finish and that's what we talk about. We talked about it a couple of times about football. I think we have looked more dangerous with the way we pass the ball to get into those positions. Spurs have had areas of danger, but in wider positions, I think from our point of view. View that we have more in front of the goal, but what we needed before was the shot and when Frankie does it, I want to say that it is a fantastic game, a great wing game and being able to get the shot is also excellent, so you write his second goal. of the under 18 campaign so far for Michael Golden, without a doubt he is a player with great potential and he is showing it, he is already fit today, as time looks to get something back on the board quickly, but he disagrees . with the referee about something good, I think what the referee did is recognize that there was a free kick before that tried to give the Spurs the lead and keep play only returns it 10 yards, no free kick opportunity for Kmart inter, This is where Sorry Joe, this is where they got the deep physicality.

Crossing so far you mentioned that physique and there are one or two bodies that have gone out of their way to achieve it with Jaden Williams almost doing it but Alfred Dorrington will return it with his head on straight as I come here and now Frankie runs it just to get over it for looking after Martin the same on this occasion, he does well again there, good defense from Chelsea's perspective, to be honest, a couple of times the ball went in there and we managed to deal. with him also try to get to the ball first if you can and get something on it and then the players around you can help you and make Acme maybe land awkwardly, yeah I didn't see too much, it seemed a bit harmless.

A challenge between him and Will Lang. She I think we'll see a little more here. He crosses it a little. I don't know much wrong with that and unless in the stretch, he's holding his stomach, so he maybe he is. stretching the stomach muscle there, maybe with an overstretch, but it does the job well, let's hope it's okay, yeah, not too many defensive options, eh, on the bench for Chelsea, this is why we're to zero this morning, doing some initial setup and Frankie executes some genius here, finishes too, I really love the ending, yeah, the good thing is that once you get over the backing, it's a great game because you give yourself time to pick up the slack. head and choose the past because it has quite easily destroyed it. the six-yard box and maybe someone would have gotten hit, but he thought about it, which is good, he thought about what he's doing, he thought about the positions his players are in and he found it easily and I, you know, let's go. again, Michael.

Golden has spoken with a calm head, you know, and I think anyone who scores goals will know that for that split second you just slow down your brain and that's what he's done, he's seen this place and he wants to hit it perfectly, super cool, like that which is, uh, yeah. A real talent is Michael Golden Sign from FC Wimbledon a few years ago but he is becoming their England under 16 captain, the Republic of Ireland under 16 favourite, favoring the 17s, he is very, very well regarded at Cobham and could finish that. a little bit of composure, you can see why he showed his class there and that's what we need, we need to see that edge, that class, that when we get into those areas we can get a final shot, it's first, it's back in the Wen, Fortunately, Chelsea returns to the full A Compliment, as Travis Akamira is able to ignore that discomfort, so let's keep an eye on those we get close to 10 minutes until the half-time interval.

The Commander and Martin can escape from something there. I guess it's a building now, although here are the sesi wave chops. One-way chops. the other, back at Lancia, bodies everywhere, from Chelsea, defending him fantastically well. Teddy Curd will be delighted to have his gloves on the ball now, yes that's fine, Martin does it very well, isn't he for Spurs here? Initially, our defense was not good. but once the ball goes through the area here, Martin cares a lot, it's a lovely little putback, good reaction from the players inside the six yard box to get in there and defend us well eventually so we can get a simple catch, but that could have happened.

It was unpleasant for us, we defended well as a group. I don't think I gave enough credit to Harris and Murray Campbell, two fantastic blocks, kind of panicked at the time as everyone was throwing something in the way, but it was Murray. Campbell, we have two vital touches to prevent the ball from entering the Chelsea net and that's what it's all about when you win the return, sometimes you know you put your body on the line and you do everything you can to maintain that advantage and secure it. If that's what the boys have done there, there will definitely be a Chelsea defensive legend in John Terio, you will no doubt watch a video of that Monday morning on the training ground and you will be very, very pleased with Center House Performance because certainly from your line. of work that's Keanu Diaries rushed and Harry didn't want to participate oh don't panic, that's the main thing we try to maintain again, we talk about the physical and that's where you see it also going cheap now.

Jamie Donley's Gonna Leave This Thrive for George Abbott 10 minutes to go Chelsea one up solo straight to the body of Murray Campbell who defends well again and tries to make Frankie run into the counter attacking Chelsea Wing. I can't keep it in play though. He is a great danger every time he takes the ball, although Clive is not only 15 years old. Frankie already handles it, showing that he is very acquitted and adapted to this level of football and I have already seen it in the youth

league

. Don't know. I think it will be a long time before he does his two-day Premier League viewing.

Plus, he's had a fantastic start to the season. Well, those are the stars you're looking for, right? The others are a bit special. We have something about us. I've already talked about a defender, it's not always about forwards and scoring goals and creating goals, sometimes you can put your body on the line, talk about defensively, can we do that? We have done it too today there has been some good action from the midfielders as well so overall you know it has been a good initial performanceagainst the Spurs. You know again, you have to remember his Spurs.

There's a lot in that for the fans, especially the ones watching, but it's also something that happens throughout your life, you just don't like the Spurs, it's a beautiful hit from Mendelado to Goldberg, just create half a meter of you with a stronger left foot, straight into the goalkeeper's gloves at the end, but it's definitely something you want to see more of because he's such a fantastic, brilliant prospect, his Tudor Mendela, although he's so good on the ball that he feels like a fanatic, he He is the one who makes you very excited when he has the ball, yes, he is excited, right?

And he's quick and you can see he's got an eye for goal too, so it's definitely time to play one on the ball as often as possible, just coming back from the other end, although here's Mikey Moore who has seen a lot of the ball in the second of the first half, so far they have defended well. for mcamer and curd, double great save again from Teddy Kurt, it's a second one, especially he only gets big on the ground, right?, so it's a very good save in the goal, he's super safe, the first one was good, it was good enough, but Lie on the floor, raise your hand and save is absolutely magnificent and I guess I've got us off the hook again, which it seems they're still doing.

Which is good, but yeah, Teddy might be absolutely brilliant, which you mentioned about five minutes ago, but sometimes when you go up one you have to face a bit of an attack and thankfully Teddy Curd and his defense in front of him have held up. The challenge from him was very good in the last few minutes, yes, we talked a few moments ago, isn't it about the forwards? The midfield pliers. The defenders did not mention the goalkeeper, but so far he has also had a good game, hence the reason for the score. This is what it is, you know Spurs have some talented players, some big players, some strong players, but we are defending the cause and you know achieving that goal was very important for us, absolutely fine, another 16 year old, so He could play at this level for several years with Chelsea before needing to progress, but you can already see the visibility and how important he is to this Chelsea team.

In fact, there are several good goalkeepers that Chelsea have in the academy. moment, which is a very strong position for the football club and I suppose it is also probably the most difficult position to have competition in. Club because the goalkeeper just wants to play every game, yes, of course, I think exactly the same with that player. of the game, but there are fewer opportunities for goalkeepers to impress and, again, what is certainly impressive today is Mikey Moore, who has been one of those to test Teddy's code so far. Martin searches the field for any movement and it was Williams, who was in the center of the Box they were trying to find, but actually my perspective of Chelsea, who couldn't get past the mended path, would pass and Dominique can find something.

It's Lancashire for Abbott Llano, your clothes in the Box, well defended by Murray. Campbell again Lewis flourishes in movement beautiful turn that escaped from the military the defender does not know what to do there Chaplin is not sure and it is a push from Beyond it is a foul and I think because he was chasing Lewis he was never always going to get a card yellow for that, you know, when, if he comes, the ball gets to Louis Flyer's feet and he fouls him, you might have gotten away with it right before he comes, but since he's chasing, you just don't. knows. what to do, look at that, he's a horrible chef, isn't he?

It will never be fair for the referee. He's literally on the spot, so in good position, free kick on swingers, we take a bite. Frankie runs him so that Rick has options towards the distance. the post actually moves forward while his akameer and Harrison Murray Campbell also potentially on the edges Harrison McMahon just lurks waiting for any junk, he's an in swinger, he executes it with a nod and it's a really good save, I think it comes out by Lewis flower in the In the end, there are several Chelsea bodies that came close to achieve it, they were really able to save the goalkeeper, in the end, a fantastic ball.

I'm not sure he does it cleanly enough, but what a ball, look at the pace of the ball, you just have to do it. try to direct, I'm not sure if it came out of a defender actually on the decent side by the goalkeeper definitely in the mix, wasn't it one or two chances now for Chelsea to build up again and run and take it short to putting his flower on Tudor Mendelado can't execute his shot, but I assume they will look to counterattack quickly if they can. Different free kicks in the corners. Hey, that has been worked on in the training camp, the work that this one almost didn't do, almost, almost, almost, almost, beautiful things in front of McAfee is fantastic, now he advances to join the attack, he uses his scorer Michael Golden, almost Boniface, this time Runner seems too much, he really changes the game quickly, but now he is intercepted as a foot race between Acme and referee lakshit, saw something here.

Offside I think he's offside. He went down very, very easily, isn't that fair? I guess the referee system in this near side has helped us a little bit. We will help the referee not to make the decision, perhaps by going crazy. Anyway, I won't lie on my heart rate, the increase of us are slightly there for a second life, but I am very grateful to see the flag, yes, you worry when you are one to zero for the good and you play pretty well at the beginning . I think we've looked good at times and you don't want to see it all disintegrate into maybe one little mistake or one little mistake on someone's part?

It could be the referee, but possibly sending someone off in that situation would have been a sad way to end the half, but luckily there are still 11 players, absolutely three minutes until half-time. Chelsea are still one up thanks to Michael Golden's first-half goal. Think about it so that another warning for the referees can brandish your second yellow card. First half, yes, there was a wild swing, right? I don't think it was anything dangerous. I wouldn't have said it. I think he generally went for the ball, but he just completely missed it and ended up with a bit of a follow through and I think that's probably what the referee didn't like sounding worse down there also when they clash the shin pads to sound yeah, the sound can sometimes bloom on the right side also my Williams corn again Connor Dyer absolutely Everywhere in this first half it has been a good performance up to this point, Campbell is able to do the same with the Williams Dorrington gold and bloom to his team, but Harry Campbell is up to the task on the field, everything up in the air at the moment.

Yeah, to be honest, I wonder what Spurs' response will be. You know, attacking-wise, I think we've been very, very solid and we've kept them at bay even when they came inside our penalty area and looked dangerous. We've had bodies there because I've dealt with every situation, so I think they have to come up with another plan because we still look dangerous as we go into the last 60 seconds of the half. Nice feet from True to Mendelado, quick jump three or four. and wins are thriving for Chelsea, he has some quick feet, he changes pace and obviously tries to keep an arm for the future, no, there is a lot of mention about these extremely intelligent, extremely intelligent quick minds off the field, no longer It's a rarity.

Not that I'm saying they weren't in your daily life, but what are you trying to say seeing him at Alpha Spurs, even though one of the last half and it's Mikey Moore? He's fine, he's completely golden. Jamie Donnelly has got a touch Spurs are back on a level playing field here we are giving the ball away cheaply in that area of ​​midfield isn't that the case initially? And then the Spurs had enough bodies going forward to cause problems for the US and get into good areas, they just didn't do it. to stop the cross, we didn't do it well enough, we didn't get close enough to the ball and sometimes a little ray of light goes in the direction of the opponent and that certainly helped me choose Donnelly.

Jamie Donnelly is tied for Top. Mark Spur is back on equal terms. I would have to say they don't deserve it. I think we were the best of the two teams. We deserve to be in front before the break. I just hope it doesn't affect confidence. too much for the players who bring back unpleasant memories from earlier in the season, the senior team where the Spurs number 10 scored seconds before the whistle. Fortunately, there is another 45 minutes in which Chelsea can find something to try to do before half-time. Breakers Michael Golden at the feet of Lewis Flower with his left foot, shoots a cross goal, it's unfortunate, isn't it?

And he has to do it. He has to try to be fair once you get to that position. Michael Golden does it very well again. Don't you just catch that pass? Don't you think if you give him a run he'll see the pass? And I think it's a smart game, something you can't teach anyone, it's something he has in him and you just improve it. a little bit as you get older, you can certainly see that pass, which is really very important, the referee comes to an end in this first half and, well, it ends as it started, everything in order.

Chelsea took the lead through Michael Golden, a fantastic build up to the game. from Frankie had it twist and turn and angle it before Golden simply angled it into the far corner and then, seconds before the half-time interval, Jamie Donnelly TOUCHES the far post for the host, they've been half almost two halves, really Clive. The first 10 or 15 minutes were quite cagey and then Chelsea on the rise began to open up a little and everyone was bitterly disappointed to reach the level yes, I said what we said about the score in the first goal he didn't win now the Confidence increased for him Chelsea in that period and we look really good on the ball, comfortable players passing into advanced areas, overlapping, long shots and crosses, so it's good to see all that, it's just that we've had that period where we get into our area and mark.

I don't think they really deserved it. Can we talk about the things that happened in the first half? Yes, it's easier to head the ball to someone else there than to go for the goal, this is what we would do. Obviously call direct football, forget all the passing, just take it forward and get into the flickons and you have to accept it was a good challenge, but certainly a challenge for Mendele Doom. On our occasion, the Smurfs reached good areas, but most of the time they didn't. He didn't give us too much trouble, shooting shots, he shouldn't beat the goalkeeper from that position and on this occasion I didn't see Donnelly definitely their danger man, those three or four golden spots they had, seemed the most likely, yeah, I think. the ball gets into certain areas and we're in trouble, you know, if you're not close enough to him because again he'll make things happen for Spurs, but until that point, the goal, you know, I thought we were defending.

Well, sometimes we close ranks, let them shoot from a distance, which doesn't bother Curd at all, so you know he was fine until that final moment and sometimes you have to put your hands up. As it happens, it was a big overlapping race. He's come a long way, hasn't he? He drags players out of the way with a little clip towards the far post and unfortunately for Louis Flower he couldn't direct it towards the goal so there were times when perhaps we could have got more. goals, but it wasn't going to be definitely the dangerous side so far that Frankie Rams has been very involved in, it was that sir, a good sign because let's assume that really on the one hand it means that they are keeping Mendelado quite a bit on the other hand it means that um, you have two players to keep quiet if you let one of them start building in the game like they did with Frankie, run, he'll punish you and in a second we'll see exactly what devastating impact it has. can have when he gets CSS for the first goal, yeah, and I think what we've shown, we've shown in wide areas, is that we've got some taste and guile, you know, and both players on both sides of the pitch for us.

He is very capable of causing trouble. I am aware of the exposure. I think they are a little more methodical. I think we're probably a little more creative. This is one we created that is very well finished by Michael Golden. Excellent finish. a bit of Clive Walker in there, he wasn't actually on the touchline, lovely little turn and a good turn, it's good to see you know he's got the turn, but not only has his pace been taken away from him, he's completely lost. The defender, I mean, it's brilliant attack and play. I'd like to say I could have done it, but I think the defender would have knocked me down in my day and I would have been rolling on the ground injured, if I hadn't seen it. it just keeps going and flowing, it's great and the way Michael finishes that is absolutely fantastic, it's a really nice ending, isn't it a really composed ending to give Chelsea the advantage?

And from there it looked like Chelsea was going to hold on to the Storm a bit like the momentsimmediately after Harrison Murray Campbell there with the double block and a good save from Teddy Kurd, just as you mentioned that attitude of going deep and throwing your body to the line, very evident here, yeah, and I. I think it's part of the game. If you can't do this, then you know you're not going to be a good defender. You can be good on the ball and look special, but you also have to make things difficult. just on one or two odd occasions we showed a little bit of something and but we were dealing with it and uh it's a shame that we gave the goal away, that this was also unfortunate, let's say on the goalkeeper's part, yeah, he could have easily done it. on loop, couldn't you see a lot of those when you put them all together?

We have seen a more dangerous side of both of them. Yeah, you're definitely right, even if in a sort of balance of things, maybe Birds over a few more. Sightings, if not, have been half chances rather than real opportunities, right? Yeah, unfortunately, we gave the ball away in that kind of area just to imagine that last Onslaught and look at one, two, three, four, five, six. players in the penalty area, you know they knew the difficult whistle was coming, so they loaded the box, they gambled, they took a risk, which is what you have to do, let the players in the box try and be creative, they managed to do that, which is It's a real shame for us and it's a blow to the chimney, but for Jamie Donnelly, who we mentioned before the game, highly regarded within the Spurs ranks and who had a very impressive voice in the first half, already that tied, but it was very, very close.

Lewis immediately blossoms and Chelsea are back in front - yes, just one last late chance isn't it - which is very unfortunate. Unfortunately it's been a good half of football so far and you'd think both managers would be very pleased with things that they have seen, but also very aware that there is still work to do in the second half and perhaps it will not be too much. Well before we see one or two chances off the bench but realistically I think if you're Red Brand you're pretty happy with the first 45 minutes. I think so. I think we saw what we probably would have seen in the first 10-15.

Minutes when you see it very animated and people lose possession we saw a lot of that giving away the ball cheap but we calmed down then we got our goal and suddenly we were far from the bed unfortunately because we can also get one. get two and take advantage of it, it didn't happen and uh, Spurs right at the death, while we gave away a cheap ball, take advantage of an opportunity, absolutely true, Chelsea. I've obviously been in action the last couple of weeks to include the pl pair who played against Derby County recently, let's take a look at some of the highlights from that game.

It's also difficult because you obviously have Chelsea developing the need to progress and go behind early to start. On this occasion it is still a very good group and many of them will again look very important in that game today and you can see that their influence here is finally brought to the tapping in a very narrow way. Yes, he didn't panic when the balls arrive, which is what I like to see, he simply controls the ball on his other foot and on the sides at home of his flower again involved and finally, this afternoon, Chelsea in front.

I think he was happy because he was within his rights. Be in uh to please him, right? And then you could see the shine that was put on it eventually, when it comes back, we're good. Endeavor, stay with him, he doesn't count until he gets on the back of the net absolutely very good absolutely true 100 take it well tuna Mendel, although he is not on the scoresheet yet, but on a part of this man from the Chelsea team, they are There's a lot going on right now, of course, tomorrow afternoon at Stamford Bridge don't forget that Chelsea are in WSL action against Tottenham Hotspur; you can hear live commentary on that at the fifth attempt of course it sold out pretty easily as you'd imagine for a big Derby game talking about the WSL team this week. great contractual news from the football club in which Aaron Carter has extended his stay in blue.

I joined the club when he was 18 years old. He was just a girl and I didn't really think it was possible for a girl from Irvin Nearshire to achieve what I already have, but for me the hard work is just beginning. Oh my gosh, I had so many good times. Wow, the lake ran out on the last day against Manchester United. It was so special. I've just put in two FA Cup finals in one season. What's that? It's no secret that I think all these players won the Champions League, honestly, this club and this team are in a place where we can certainly compete with the fans of my second family, well, I see them more than my family, so that are always there.

They're always there in the numbers singing, illuminating, oh I'm listening and in Casper Edin Cuthbert they've certainly given me a lot of love so I'm very grateful for that and I'm sure they do. Maybe I have signed a new contract, this is my club, this is where I want to be. Was there ever any doubt of an absolute superstar and can I tell you Chelsea say goodbye to me and all Chelsea fans around the world delighted that Aaron Kofta has extended his stay here at Chelsea, not only will she be involved tomorrow but which fortunately we are very lucky to have Emma Hayes, she will be back in the Dugout tomorrow after her recovery and it seems that she fell out of the Dugout herself, so it will be a fantastic occasion tomorrow afternoon, eh, Chelsea will obviously take on the which will happen tomorrow and then Real Madrid in the Premier League Champions League.

It's been a good first half of football, some opportunities are presenting themselves and I only saw two demands which are the ones who score twice. against Derby County he could have opened his account this morning worked for a fantastic tackle at the end Plano's wasn't on a booking at the time but I wonder if he would have been in a book if he had thought twice. As for making that entrance, it is very important, although he has done very well there. Jamie Donnelly was the first to score a goal for him. He eventually got on the scoreboard and saw the problems he could cause, but from start to finish so far he's been a good half of football in patches and look, here's Mikey Moore getting a chance, Kurt said, he's just back to that Clive , actually, because we talked about the competition for places for a goalkeeper that you've seen in the first thing about how Chelsea essentially now have two number ones in nedu mendian and kefir Aretha belago.

I wonder if that fully translates because on some teams maybe you see one goalie play 40 games a season and five if you have two goalies who play 25 between them. that might give you a little confidence about the age groups. Yes, yes, I suppose so, but I think from a goalkeeper's perspective, most of the time there are no goalkeepers who play 225 games a season, it's usually one more than the others as a rule and I think goalkeepers They are specialized positions where you look for maximum perfection if you want because it saves a lot of situations and again, it probably depends on the choice at the end of the coach at the time when the coach feels what he feels.

He's going to bring out the best in the man of him. I think these guys at this level can probably learn more than the players, uh, the players on the field. I think goalkeepers are such a specialized thing that you can learn from the other bodies around you. guys who are trying to fill your position if you want, because they certainly learn well, these guys can also learn from Mendy and Keppra because you know these two have different skills, but they are fabulous in those better parts of their game and if you can improve 10 a year 10 next year when they get 20 21 22, you know we can have exceptional goalkeepers because they've learned little things along the way, so the big things, you know, something has to come from within, but the little things, the everyday things They come from these top-level goalkeepers, you see it more and more and the goal keeps giving up.

I mean, Prince Salogoko, who played a lot of football for Chelsea, was big in the Fauth Cup last season and has played a lot of under 18 games, went online to work in the National League at the start of the season and then obviously you can't, um, Teddy Shaman Lowe, of course, is online at the moment and I guess when you're a goalie like you say, you need to be in that rhythm and maybe learn more, like you said, from the players in front to you when you go out just for a senior team, so to speak, it is of good use if If you have played in several different discrepancies, yes, I think it was difficult when you tell players at this level to go play against

league

teams inferiors, it is very, very difficult, but there are different styles. and throughout the leagues and I always think it's good for these players to learn that because you know with the greatest respect that not all of these players are going to play for Chelsea's first team, whether you're a goalkeeper or a field player etc. go get a feel for what it's like on other levels and maybe you can understand how much harder you have to work, you know, it pushes you a little bit harder, maybe you don't have the best moments, maybe you don't do the best essays or the best. decisions, but at least you'll learn something along the way that you might not have learned playing at the Academy level, so it's a good way to improve your career and then you can do it.

This is a career that is not always about playing. just one team for the rest of your life, it doesn't really work that way, so you have a career where you start at the top and maybe gradually go down, so yeah, whatever position you play, learn something from each one. position you or each team you play for, what advice would you give to a younger player? Knowing that you yourself took that step and had a fantastic career, what would you say to younger players? Is it about testing yourself? at a younger age or maybe it's about feeling your way through the race.

I would think it's about failing your way, yeah, I mean, it's also about understanding it. I mean, sometimes the biggest and worst things are disappointments and above all that. When I talked to players I know over the years, I discovered that the disappointment is not playing, that's why we have big teams, now we rotate, we didn't have teams that big and we didn't rotate as much, so everyone was playing except you. It's hard to keep these guys on the field, they want to play, that's all they want to do, they want to play football and you can't blame them.

It's a great career if you can have it and always want to play for the team. At the top it's obvious that you want to win things, that's what it is, that's why you're there, but sometimes it doesn't always work out that way, but what you've learned as a young person, especially at this level, can take you to the top. get to another level, obviously, I've seen players in the last three or four years come out of academies and crash and then suddenly bounce back, you can see where they learned their trade because if that's what the style and the thought process and the Mind and brain work much faster than players who come from the bottom and rise slowly.

That advice might have been given to an 18-year-old playing for Chelsea's Academy or a 37-year-old playing for Manchester United or he doesn't play for Manchester United at the moment. Maybe maybe there won't be any bombshell interviews if they don't get odds on an under-18s Premier League match, although there might be a little more patience here. Level now, I think I think when you're 37, Act 37. So move it again. Chelsea originally kicked us out, but here are Spurs in the first performance in Gold, potentially here we have to go back to Mikey Moore, he has good feet and is well defended at the end. and bounces into Bonnie's face, you can show it behind for a corner kick.

Good lively start from the host, which will be disconcerting from a Chelsea perspective, but it is certainly an opportunity to warm up very quickly because Spurs seem to have started. Well, obviously something was said at half-time and we said that Chelsea were probably more dominant against Golan, maybe that's what they are looking for to be a bit more positive in front of our goal, so we have to be careful. deep corner there into the fouls here and I think his header actually comes off Lewis Flower who does some defensive work there, the four centre-backs in their own area on this occasion and it bounces off him for a corner towards Tottenham, yeah, I feel like you know when.

It also happens like this and teams get corners again and again, you feel like you are under a bit of pressure so this is again a mental situation, now the game is half mental and half physical so we have to activate here, another curve Teddy's depth works really well there to rise higher and grab The Vault could take a good shot for me, lots of bodies around him there too, yeah that's really good pressure, yeah he releases very quickly into The Far. Side, here's Bonnie's face, you can use it. Frankie takes it down the far touchline towards us now to Michael Golden, the first half goal scorer.

It is a facefunny It looks like an angle. Winter corner. Yes, that works. Sometimes you get stuck in a position. he makes that bonus, hey, he has to do something, he doesn't have permission, he has two or three players around him and me and I heard a scream, I'm sure it came from Ed Bran, just do it and that means just take your head . he goes down and delivers and that's all he's done and in doing so he gets the block, we get the corner and that's a positive and you know it's a good play because we turned the Spurs around again, there's a corner that Frankie has to take. running with the end swinger is in swinger towards the front post it was Murray Campbell his second acrobatic attempt the whistle had already blown I'm not sure it was for a push or it was for a handball I'm not sure it's a great ball, you know? when it goes over the first pair of players at the near post, you think there's a chance the referee made a mistake.

To be honest, I think I want to see questioning looks towards him from not only the Chelsea players but also the Spurs players, but I don't want to make eye contact and that's strange too because I don't think they understood why the whistle went straight to Lancashire. The ball bounces off Murray Campbell for a shot at Spurs that just misses the Chelsea half. Now there are no changes for Chelsea. in Hard Times to get through you uh Chelsea 11 that's Teddy Kerr second half kicks Josh achiampong Travis akamea Harrison Murray Campbell somato Body Face Keanu Dyer Harrison McMahon Michael golden Tudor Mendler even though Frankie runs it and Louis flower here's Alfie dorrington 12 in night Archie Chaplin hello Martin Williams and Lancia leading the line four Spurs in the second half I'm still blinking, but I imagine that in the rest of the first half both managers will have reasons to win satisfied with that first half that they showed, I thought Chelsea The manager probably happier that Ed Brand was at the Tottenham performance The boss is happy to still be in the game, yes I guess with a zero they would have been a zero down, they would still have been in the game but I think being back in leveled is an advantage for them in many ways.

Respect, I think your conversation with the team would have changed at half-time, they were losing by a nil, maybe a little more anxious when talking to the players, but probably a little more relaxed by the fact that they managed to score the goal. From my brand's point of view, I think I would be more than happy with the performance, maybe with the activity in front of goal, maybe we could have been a little more clinical, it's been reasonably tight hasn't it? and you just feel like 1-1 it's anyone's game at the moment it's really not like you mentioned at the beginning of the game playing in a Chelsea Tottenham game there's always something to it so I'm wondering if maybe there's a bit more spin in line for either team and you start to make progress in the second half you can open up a little bit it was good save me there from Ted Curd after Donnelly whipped Cross and Lewis Flower watch him run onto that pass from Frankie running High Press. again from Chelsea here, although in North London, the Ohio champion does well there to step up at night, the foreigners offer an option in the box and he is also a cornerback, yes, again, two against one, it's closed, I think if I could have kept going. a little faster at the beginning, he may not have been in that situation, but once you get there, you have to do something and he gets a corner.

This was an opportunity, although wasn't it just moments ago for Donnelly? to get into a good position, bad ball, but I guess I just didn't break down enough to get in there on martinia once we took the other end and the side waves with the golden hand during the Chelsea attack. in the box and even then in the end, actually for Tottenham, the ball was cleared, I don't think Spurs defended it brilliantly, but again, one ship and it's at the other end, you have to regroup and get everyone back on their position, let's say right after the break.

You never know what will happen with the final team. It seems like the Spurs came out pretty quickly. Yes, I feel like we just solved that problem. Now we're seven and a half minutes in and I feel like we can now. take advantage Maybe mom is going to chase Chapman to the end, although yes, very similar, in fact, the open seven or eight minutes of the first half, where either team shows a great deal of caution, there is a little more caution in your approach to opening. but like you said, the Spurs started the first 60 seconds with a little bit of a slowdown to get back into rhythm here, yeah, they just slowed down a little bit there and it's given us a chance to maybe regroup with a little bit of fear that the team just arrive.

Here as an attack, it has not happened, is it the first thing? I think it comes from midfield. I think they've just allowed their forwards to try to get into midfield. We haven't really been given too much trouble by F Lewis Flower, but you can keep possession of him, but luckily for him I can show Falls to Murray Campbell, he's a face of Bonnie and now, to run him and he can feel himself dying. so clean inside, what a player I think this is where we have. You also have to have a little patience with the ball.

Sometimes you know it's a great Crossfield, but I don't think Crossfield Ball is on. We have recovered the ball. I guess I gave it back to us, but it would be a little. With more patience we can have more possession of the ball, it is mendacious entering the area, he places three or four and the man will circulate it towards the chimney to run leaning back, but the referee gives him enough there for a foul. Williams can shepherd the ball away from Golden and back to Dorrington, hook, forward, forward Mama Campbell seems to win almost every header, doesn't she?

I mean, she does it well, although it just takes us out of danger and allows us to get back into position. I'm saying, well, it's a simple thing to do, you don't know that you have to be the first one to throw the ball. He has done it on more than one occasion. Aaron via Ola says he will win the foul again when the Spurs get ahead in those situations. You don't really look that dangerous, you know, we mentioned it in the first half, yes, they got into the final third, there are a couple of players, the most obvious one is Donnelly, but if it doesn't go through Donnelly, they don't really look like that. how dangerous it is what is good for us to play that does very well to avoid a challenge I myself compose half a yard of curd to Murray Campbell and tighten the spaces Chelsea very well good game it could be an opportunity Mr.

Mendelado to stretch his legs, receive the ball on the right side, it's a command for the overlap, if you want, use it at a tight angle now for McMahon. I'm still lucky, you know what? I hate the pace of the ball. He slowed down when he got to Mendele on that right side, the ball slightly behind him, he has to wait for me to drag him forward and just allow a couple of the Spurs defenders to come back and get into position if that the ball has played towards him a little sharper, a little sharper, he's weighing in on his bike and he's so fast they'll never get close to him, just minor details, but they make a difference.

McMahon too and goes up for a goal kick. In the end, I think there was a bit of confusion between the referee and the assistant referee, but I think fortunately they made the right decision on that occasion. Come here, we will join Lancashire there. It will be a free kick. Yes, I think it is. a free kick I think it's a joint I don't think he did it uh potentially trying to win the ball initially up front and then it just goes in towards the centre-forward Chester sometimes you just have to be careful when you have a high line So, sometimes too you're the last defender, maybe you're getting a little too tight this time, just five yards inside the Chelsea half, but Spurs start again now with the abbots overlapping us looking especially for the nutmeg and it's up to him to Mikey Moore. to work on an angle to hit him the deflection goes wide it's a Spurs call I'm going to get a good defender he just looks dangerous at one point there Spurs where he thought they could have shot a little quicker a little sharper we could have been in trouble.

A little skill down here on the line, just waiting for the opportunity to make the pass. There you see the running back, we're managing to put something on the ball and here's the block again, it's Murray Campbell again, are they going to do it? say yes, it's him again, isn't he poor? Corner again, this is a favor directed away by Golden to Mikey Moore Chaplin drilled Low cross, fell to Donnelly Chelsea pushes him away at the end Michael Golden looks to make the flower work quickly but Dorrington can step in and again there is still a player in the Chelsea box, has to stop play, probably with the defender on the ground without allowing Murray Campbell to get in the way again, yes, I know we talk about that all the time, right? about the referee stopping games when there is a head injury, of course you do it immediately, but in the position where he is next to the referee, he should stop the game there a little faster, we get our way , I managed to push the ball, I think too.

A moment or two ago when we were trying to throw a ball to Michael Golden trying to crush him. I think it's the right idea. I think it was the right idea. I just didn't get enough rhythm on the ball and no. I didn't get past him enough that it would have worked for me if I had taken out his defenders. Harry Kane looks like it down there by the bench, but I'm pretty sure he's somewhere else right now, but he's a little busy, yeah, he is, yeah. dorrington that's what you get here it's close some similar quite possibly that's what you can say when you have a bad game it wasn't me it's my beautiful ball standing on top Mikey Moore now with half a chance of me drilling it it's just a good sell Card Again In The End by Tech and just get some space.

Can't get Beyond on your phone? He makes it look easy. Can't he sometimes know that we see him take some crosses cleanly and under a? a little bit of pressure while doing it oh, very composed, very, very composed, highly qualified goalkeeper, then the club since under nine, so it certainly won't be his first experience with Chelsea Tottenham, but at this level again he starts to be a little more, yeah, I guess. it gets more intense as you know as you get older you get confident and uh, this was a beautiful cross shaped ball, right? a little invisible, no vision, but he makes a slave look easy, oh, very, almost, Mikey Moore bites him back now between the space on his right side, instead of Alex to cross the field and give it to Bonnie.

The face on the other side is running, it's in, it's in. loose flower around the corner and dorrington yeah I'm lucky I can see the shot yeah bad luck you know that's what you want to see a little bit of skill a little bit of trickery in and out of the penalty area , you can create, be creative. Sometimes Bonnie Face of Golden is already on the scoresheet looking to double her Sally for the afternoon's big deflection, although the Spurs can regroup and use regular weighted blank scissors on the floor there since we've been together with Manila, although can we talk about that? that with Chelsea for most of the game the defenders are in the way and the body is on the line, I guess they are doing that too, I said it before, didn't I?

This game is totally in balance. It could go either way, it needs to be a bit careful, it's already in the referee's notebook, I think one or two on the Chelsea bench just remind the referee that we always remind them that I think they know these breaks, you always have to tell them, but yeah, he just told him, I know, just be careful, you're right Joe, you know he's already on the yellow card, he's had a warning, now add a referee saying, you know what, don't do that again. that and this is the worst moment at this level, you don't want players.

If you want these players to play 11, be 11 because that's what it's about in general, but yeah, all the rules go out of the way when you play against Spurs, they don't really want fair play, but unfortunately, Chelsea and Tottenham, I'm sure . There are plenty of Spurs in exactly the same position, but here's McMahon trying to get Chelsea to click again on the ball defended by George, yeah, wasn't that right? A couple of players who doubled up to win the ball quickly did too much, maybe kept it a bit. a little simpler, just over an hour of dish time, there are still plenty of options for both teams to change it up.

Chelsea have officials on the bench and they include Danelle McNeely, we saw him score recently in the pl cup win over Derby County and I'm sorry George, who has excellent quality, already scores my two goals in the under 18 Premier League this season, so many players who may still have their sale occasionally are Chelsea Spurs, that's one that will stay with you, no doubt, it's one of everyone currently. Uncle Golden's goal on the half hour mark here is in possession. The sideGolden looks at Freddie and runs again to get there early, that's not a bad idea. I mean, it's just that the goalkeeper is trying to adapt and get in position too close to him, wasn't that the case in the end?

I think he's trying to do it. choose that far corner of the post, but focus too much here is the goal, which is more than important, but there was a good break on our part, didn't it seem like a nice, nice and fluid movement, as we saw in the first goal of the game? A little bit of flying movement from players in wide areas and that's what you want to achieve again and again. Right on cue there will be a change and it will be the hosts who will make things fall even further now that they are replacing Mila.

Come on, and Gabrielle Wilhof King, thank you. Oh, we think that in this type of stage, you know, there are 25 minutes left before the teams make some changes. Brown was thinking about anything, maybe that sign now that the Spurs have made a couple of changes because there's an opportunity to think about that. The Spurs will change the face of the game. Will they change the lineup or is it just a matter of how my mom is here? Isn't that very, very unfortunate? Decent ball just opens up his body really well to make this pitch here. Well, it looks a little bit like Ben, a little bit good.

The pace of the ball simply cannot direct it towards the target. Mendela takes drugs. To be honest, one mistake he had already made a mistake, another mistake and that would have been it, but Chaplin just intervenes in a clever game with him, you know, sometimes also when you make substitutions, he just calms the team down a bit, a Sometimes it can be a big advantage, but I always think it's necessary to have the ball, so if we can keep it off as well and maybe cause problems, we could catch the girls off guard right now, I predicted we'd join in a minute ago.

I'll assess that you're one of them and William has been the other substitute means it's a fairly light change in midfield rather than takimon in terms of personnel coming in, but fresh legs can certainly play a role in the time stamp tends to be when managers start playing with it, they start to look, isn't that right and start thinking about it? Things don't go the way they want. Release McMahon over the top ball now. Please, four flowers from Harrison in Achiampong to die now.The Far Side Frankie directs you what's inside As Frankie directs you, you try to look for that farthest corner, but he just gets a little underneath, you see his intentions, don't you know what you want to do and try to find that far top corner? tilt it back slightly, build on the stretch, it's also difficult to get right.

It's Chelsea's turn to make a change now, from the looks of it, Danelle McNeely is gearing up, it looks like it's going to be a similar move almost coming for Lewis Flower, certainly. On his way to the touchline will be Lewis Lowry at work one fine morning, it's early afternoon, he's put a lot into it, he's finished and run a lot since the first exchanges in quite a similar fashion, actually, one of the games we have seen. The season um lives with the way for the youth league it went the other way and almost started a grueling run in the first 70 minutes and then Lewis Flower came along and managed to score a goal so I'm sure McNeely will be I hope to pay him back Please this afternoon.

I am sure we will have fresh legs and a different style so that I can make a difference. A beautiful trick that opens on his left foot. What is by Joshua Chiampong. What a phenomenal finish from the fullback. of tuna mendelado cutting and changing, he passes the ball to Josh, a champion, and just blurts out what an ending, really, wasn't it? Look at the space that's been given to him and that's, uh, mendelado drags defenders to one side and brings it back to the other, but I'll also tell you what the left foot is, but doesn't he hit it magnificently?

The best club has no chance for the goalkeeper and that's what you want, you want that little bit of space to be able to take advantage of the opportunity and he does it and finishes it off with a magnificently brilliant finish from George Ampong, who did fantastically well today, he has He's played a huge part in all of Chelsea's good work, to be fair, in recent weeks in a number of different roles that he's been deployed in, so I'm playing more of a full-back role in a back three and He's playing more of a right-back role in a four today, but he's been fantastic in defense and now he's putting his name on the scoresheet.

Chelsea retakes the lead and that's a question of can we keep it? I mean, that's obviously the obvious thing, but we can also go ahead and maybe get another one because that would certainly ensure victory, but it just boosts your confidence. Doesn't it make you more aware? I think from our perspective as well. I think when you get into this position now, it's important for the next three, four, five minutes to just keep the ball, if you can, you know nothing but frustration, it's frustrating for the opponents, they're just going to go down and they want to get it. on the ball they're in a hurry to do everything under the ball they can't do it so keep it keep one level ahead you know just think about your past make sure you find a Blue Shield I'll show you clean pair of heels night again but It already is, I mean, I left the last impression I'm sure, as did this man taking the shot on Joshua Chiampong after fantastic goals that gave Chelsea the lead.

Here's McNeely, it's just Bonnie with her face in the center of the left side towards mendelado that's a very good save for a second there too Club I thought maybe there was a leg that was hanging and that would bring Bonnie upside down. She did very well, yes, she could have, but she eventually gets into a good position of possession, she needs it. to make the delivery steps here is just inside or outside the box but this is a great ball, good position for Mendelo again he has to do better to be honest in my opinion yeah that's not his great header Forte , but once you get there, you have to have that technique to try to get past the goalkeeper in 20 minutes to play against Chelsea 2-1.

It's a big possibility that it could have ended the game for us. I think he could have really done it with the front foot, but again, as he said that confidence comes with goals, as he always looks nice and confident at the moment when the goalkeeper is trying, it's great to talk about confidence, it's fantastic for Teddy Kurt's part, he just doesn't seem low on confidence anyway, as most goalies don't, but they took a chance there. but again, he just didn't seem bothered, or nervous about it, just keep the ball moving, keep possession though, keep passing the ball to Spurs, don't let them touch them one bit at this point, which will be very nice. towards the mark and keeping possession is terrible for Murray Campbell and he's playing a beautiful ball over the top for a second Eric is going to hang for him I just thought he got a little loose no, yeah, I thought, I don't think he thought he could getting there and the Spurs player stopped and it looked like the ball was falling between the last defender and the goalkeeper and then it took off and I thought if I had reacted a little timid maybe it would just go in.

We'll give you the benefit of the doubt. He recently signed his first professional contract and now McNeely is certainly in a celebratory mood. I'm sure it was also after the scoresheet on his last outing, so 20 minutes to continue that period of good form. of him in and out of the throw pass towards done well there to face Don Lee free throw not given it's back to Martin he's going to freak it out right on the edge here it's on the edge of the box right outside the panels here I At first I thought it was a foul, the referee doesn't award it and I think suddenly the Chelsea players are totally nervous and out of position.

GS gave the Spurs a chance. I thought he should have pulled the trigger, even though I thought it was a foul. there in that chambang and then we will see how the ball is prepared if he shoots there, maybe that will not happen, we have bodies that can challenge, but now we have to defend the free kick, Harrison Murray Campbell is in a very good position, who has fantastic form for Chelsea so far, oh, that organization now and quality in all three Spurs kicks. I'm sure Kurt is going to set up his wall the right way, but the quality of the ball is too good, that's not the case.

There are many things you can do about it, it is so perfect that it will go in, if not, we might have a chance to block it. Jamie Donnelly stood next to him as the man who won the free kick at Rio Kara Martin. The other thing I would say is it's a bit close to the edge of the Box, it's very difficult to get up and down so we might try something different there, it's like Donnelly is there, like you mentioned, yeah well I didn't want to take it beforehand , but it's very close, isn't it?

It's quite a difficult position in essence because it's so close, yes, not many players can achieve that and the last person we saw for Chelsea would make the equaliser, but he would be able to do something. So, it's a technique that's very, very difficult to score with, but it's been done and we see wars breaking out and things like that happening as well. All you have to do is get it right, which they don't do. Here's McNeely. now possession with about 15 minutes left of normal time to find an answer so far Teddy Curd has been almost penetrable in the Chelsea goal.

It's a good afternoon's work so far, for the next 15 minutes they're going a little quieter than I thought the Spurs would. I hope to produce a replacement here Dorrington steps in Here's Domley Can we have a chance here for Lancashire? A wonderful entry again from Harris and Murray Campbell. What a performance from Chelsea's centre-half today. Another entry that almost saved goals. Excellent defense. Don't you think? However, I have to say that Langston took just half a second too long to shoot, one, two, three touches that could be a touch and hit, but he gave us the opportunity to defend Chelsea and be able to close the door. on that occasion, but things still haven't been completely averted, although Frankie directed it and put an emphatic full stop on that one, he's the one left out of the game, yeah, and he's done well, you know, getting back to fall, that is not his position, he does not want to be. he probably wins the first header and then bounces off the rebound second ball you know you can't do much more than that as a striker returning to the penalty area either you defend him or a j another substitute for the Tottenham theater more about him on the night, he came in at the fourth of our post and evaded everyone, in fact, it was given for a foul on Murray Campbell, he will push the bat potentially there from a loose ball, not bad, maybe he didn't really need to do.

The foul I'm getting at the end is a little tough on this day, probably, but I just don't, maybe I don't have the taste to get him away from the Defender, so his physicality comes into play and that's why. receives all free kicks twice in our last stretch, we would like to share on the field, win the Cup, it is Charlton Athletic, as he did at number 11 with the ball, at that time Mikey Moore, here is a chance, although for a deep and joyous center towards Don, let him be. I'm not going to be able to keep it in play.

Chelsea goal kick and perhaps a chance to take a few seconds and breathe to regain your composure. Yes, there are 13 minutes left and you think well. I said it before about keeping the ball not always that easy. Of course, and if you have a chance, can you find that second chance to give you? You've got another goal, you know, and he'll put the game away, but he's always on a knife's edge at 2-1 and the opponents know it. well, and they will pressure more men to bet, maybe a little more substitutions, obviously, have come into play.

The first point of view, the substitution made a big difference for me, is that we must be patient with the ball, have confidence. Be patient, I'm coming here, come in, I need help. He has no help on the left side. Nobody fell short. In fact, make it nice and simple for him again. He invades the ball. hard give me a break here for the Lancashire spursors at the other end it's a good save again from Teddy curd it's a good word but I don't know if he was passing or not but he just makes sure I didn't think he had passed much power on the hit but again he's in a good position Teddy, isn't it just to step forward, get the angles right, make the save, but we can't?

That's what we can't do is give them opportunities, give them opportunities. I think by overrunning the ball when we don't need to make people drop short, deep and wide to keep the ball moving, we extend the game and make it as simple as possible. The management to take the game to the end simply does not tend to Spurs will call and appear on the edge of the area now for Martin to hit it into another Chelsea player capable of getting in the way, although it is almost dangerous, isn't it when you see players on the edge of the area?

The box rolls towards a free ball and has the opportunity to hit from the gold. It can go anywhere. Detours always happen. NoDid they manage to put bodies in the way on many occasions? Double change for Chelsea coming here. Yes, you know the scorers in Josh. ampong is going to be replaced I thought both scorers were going to be replaced Michael Golden is also leaving Tariq George and Samuel raksaki come on foreign numbers are those fresh legs to cover and fill the gaps this is going to be important Day, very good idea from Ed so that players get on the court, that little bit of extra support with more running ability.

It's also a good job to push the ball back. There is another one, there are many yards. You'll notice it anyway, it's anyone's. work rate is excellent, completely agree, it was done very well here is the mileage I used, I did well there to keep Spurs possession running or pressing, it was done very well, there is no him to force the goalkeeper three or four touches again, yes, but three times and the Spurs. By trying to move forward three times, we push them back. You know that all this saves extra time and helps the players in the back get back into position.

Need to do it again here, although it could be an opportunity now as Spurs start to build on a replacement. Joy on the other side, cuts inside, manages to keep play and is on his left foot for a second as if to hit it. Instead, he'll use Mikey Moore, who could be in goal, come on, Square, right? I think he did well initially, he's fine, again, he goes up against Frankie, who doesn't want to be in that position, but he has to do some defending. He doesn't seem to enjoy it too much, you can understand that, but once he gets into that position, oh, he surely has to use his other foot, although with one step forward on the ball he rolls another step back, a bit of a game changer inwards again, lovely way of him, isn't it?

The magic in the ball is not him and then we say that the simple things sometimes you know it's over doing things you also know that he will learn that as he progresses you know the times when to do that and when it's not time to find a place loose here, but it's almost fine to keep possession for Chelsea, just be simple here, don't do anything difficult. Joy returns to Dorrington's time against Tottenham with less than 10 left on the clock, he pushes the ball towards Mikey Moore who immediately passes it to Don Lee and he has options in the area, he tries to find a push in the edge, we will go the way of Chelsea, oh my goodness, in many ways, that's coming together, isn't it?

I think we've been a little lucky to have been kicked by me. I guess in our favor it's good, good work from the Spurs again, since, as we imagine would happen towards the end of the game, they will become overloaded and may have to gamble and get ahead for the clock to do its job, for the moment was for Harrison. Murray Campbell welcome toMcNeely, it's all very well to drop it on the chest, hit it, I'm sorry George, you're getting tragic for me, I'm just trying to do too much, have some Spurs players around you, do you call us and still give him it is going well?

In the end he really gets it once you get to the half and you have the attitude to push into a wider space just play and then make yourself run but he continued with the ball to be fair to him he does it well he gets a corner , this is where we have to be patient, stay with the ball, it's short between mendelado and Tariq George, a Keanu Dyer who will keep possession and yes, and that's fine, look at the Spurs, look, they fell, they are not pressing , so keep the ball, no need to move on if you don't want to, it's better to play, it's a good game, keep it simple, excuse me, my money can't keep it on the plate, questions about substitution and that's another change for the Chelsea, showing that Tudor Mandela appears, although he is replaced with just over five minutes remaining.

Opportunity for the kids to then have an impact in the remaining time, love, wait again, it's not much, really, but again you know it's important for these players to have time. We talked about size. of all the club teams at the moment and these young lads really need some time on the pitch so we are great, very important, if you can get the adrenaline flying and help the lads. In fact, his first introductions in the game could still be a bit Mark and as he is next to Jamie Donnelly, who does not reach a known turret, George now supports very little in the way that I support him, but apart from Donald McNeely, who's out of shot, let's go back the other way first.

Harry Campbell again continues to shoot, okay we're just trying to do too much with the ball, he doesn't lose possession and that's what we can't afford to do in this game? Okay, he's trying to take the game to the end and Keep it simple, bunny, head to head against the Giant, oh oh, Chaplin, Mikey Moore, he's got a little bit of room until they can close that out. It's turned, it's a good ball once again. Harrison Murray Campbell is there, but Donnelly manages to get it back and wins a corner. Off Frankie, run with him. I feel like this is kind of a great last ditch effort by Spurs to get the spins level again and again I said it just before half-time, when they scored, they didn't deserve that at half-time.

I don't think they deserve anything here with a better side I want to take, it's an inward swing, it's also deep and bounces up. The referee is not interested in appeals coming from the Spurs players' diet. He does it so well. win. a foul too, well it won us a fall, it's a cheap foul that will no doubt happen at this stage. I have to understand that the Spurs players are not very happy with the referee's decision, but yes, that works well initially, but it stumbles. the problem is going to make another change here my rich is going to come in handy, I'm Martin, good afternoon work marking chapter 10 favorite of Chelsea News already in a reserve too I found this in that a little more ambitious yes, it did a little , wasn't he just desperate for the first few minutes at this stage?

The clumsy challenge gives us a free kick and just gives us time to slow down the play a bit easy and work on an angle, unfortunately it's a deep cross. no one following at the far post good evening sir Murray Campbell again it has been a brilliant battle between him and Shira up top and I have to say that it is Chelsea who is the defender who will go home happier at the moment in the air by dorrington no de distance, but it is a giant second attempt until the last minute of normal time. The Spurs go ahead with a substitute as Rich runs past Bonnie's face and the referee waves play and falls towards Donley.

I think I mean, this little referee gives a free kick but it keeps going. I think if they hadn't scored the header, I think they could get it back for a free kick outside the area once you score the header. I don't think you can recover it from that position. referendum has been good today the referee must be fair to him a little cramp I think here for Murray Campbell himself come here playing the role of captain while the clock Edge is closer to the 90th minute you are very happy three points If Chelsea come out ahead , will have some trial matches on the horizon with Fulham United, Aston Villa and Brighton to play before the turn of the year and if they cut the new year draw also for Chester or Bradford City and that Peterborough road for the development side at the end November also in the EFL Trophy, so one or two of these players may be involved in that.

Imagine everyone is desperate to play in some capacity, especially the players who are on the development side and haven't had much. Lots of action in the last few weeks and I even saw that yesterday at Cobham or a couple of days ago at Copper. The New Zealand All Blacks rugby league team were Rugby Union teams, sorry, they were for training camp, so luckily not too many scrums have been seen. today, but no, I haven't really been, you know, they're fighting games that we've seen in the past, even at this level, you know, sometimes they can be a little too aggressive and it's understandable, but it hasn't been that way, today there has been good football from both sides at times, I just stick with what I said before and the game has progressed in that way that I feel that we have been more dangerous in front of goal, like Spurs, who have They were a bit weak in that kind of area without criticizing them too much and I think we defended well and there have been some really important performances and Murray Campbell has certainly been one of those for me in the Chelsea defense today, I mean Teddy Curt, like you always say.

That thing about a goalkeeper, you know, if he's had a good game, you know he's scoring, you know, and it's easy to talk about that, but you also know that there have been some good performances around him, yeah, you're usually absolutely right. when you hear a lot about goalkeeping you would say the teams maybe haven't been the most dominant side, but I think realistically we've heard more from Teddy Kerr because he made some good saves but eventually Chelsea finished. Very good today to limit the Spurs to half chances, man, they've had half chances. The Kurds made them look easy.

I think that's the answer. I think Joe for me is the simplicity of the way he works in goal. Yeah, I like him, he's good, he's good. with his feet, which is so important in the modern game, his ability to classify his ability to make saves, you know, it's all been a classroom, the last chance is here for the Spurs, he's a monkey, one goes against one, Frankie runs it and drives it towards the box and akamia crosses very well, runs, doesn't take any risks and waits for McNeely, well, we take that free kick, slower, it's not that bad.

I guess his first position here, although time is running out quickly, you think they play a lot, but I. I don't think that's in their ethics, so yes, I thought they would play a short time, although everyone had half an hour on the referee at this moment, but it doesn't show a great urgency, they have the clock very very against them, at the same as the marker. Chelsea still two wanted Abbott Lex's goodnight nausea overlay instead of moving the ball up the field. You know, it's taking them about two minutes to get over that middle line.

It's not really going anywhere and when the clock is where it's where it's just I don't understand, that's the most important thing, it's a great ball here, Mikey Moore McKnight between them early, crossing the keeper again, as composed to get the ball out as Four, four or five bodies around him, yes, it is not the best ball. but it could have caused us problems, there could have been a collision of players and the ball bounced freely to a Spurs player, but again, just take control. I like that he just steps forward and demands the ball and does it with ease, without emotion. his face, which I would also like to see, it's like this is easy, so the modern and composed goalkeeper is Murray Campbell, he equalized again, we've said that a lot today, but he's that possessed by ajai, that's a shot free.

It's just to slow down. I don't know if the cramp has given him a problem, but maybe he had the opportunity to move the ball in the first half, he doesn't accept it and the collision here hits him on the head, everyone should be there. Okay, look at it, maybe there's a little blood there, yeah, I'm just looking at a bag of Keys, obviously, when you come on as a substitute 10 or 15 minutes ago, but it just depends on how much more time the referee adds to the clock. Know? Did you take it to the last? Our second.

These were the goals from before. Lovely, I finished this and, uh, got gold. He really set out to finish this and this was a classic. It was not so? The fullback moves forward and smashes the top corner. I love it, beautiful, beautiful finish from Joshua Champion there to give Chelsea a 2-1 lead in the last seconds of this, Tottenham Hotspur training facility, the last few minutes, it goes, yes, it will, don't have the luxury of having the big screen to tell us how many extra minutes there are at the moment, to be fair we are very much dependent on the referee's judgement.

I think even if they had given us three or four minutes, we could be looking at seven or eight depending on how fair I wonder if, when the time came, you would just allow Spurs to take the free kick and in this situation I can't believe you would add the full minutes and seconds this took and it was something and it was nothing. Wasn't it like a two or three body collision and the referee sees a foul there and obviously with the collisions he falls to the ground and they catch him and maybe there's a bump on the side of his head getting medical attention but it's okay if he has a head injury, it's true that they take that time, but we have to focus here because sometimes you can zone out in these situations.

From the looks of it, fortunately, he will be fine and will arrive soon. Chelsea would like to be allowed to turn it back on. the field, but it's going to be strange for Donnelly to take advantage of it, potentially the last chance for Tottenham floating towards the far post, shot wide due to lack of boat, it was a foul anyway, I don't understand the free kick, you know, go back to these three. Kicks we've seen, I saw one earlier in the thread. I think the three Tottenham boys have been horrible today and again the execution of that one is just asimple clip, it's a safe, it's a safety free kick and there are times to do that, but with this clock it almost runs in the last seconds of the game, shoot with a little rhythm and try to create something on the goal kick towards forward again, everyone half an hour in the referee, between the sides, there are Donnelly and Dyer, they join in, they can Look, he throws in desperation, isn't that something we will do at this moment for Chelsea?

More towards Donnelly. Oh, he slides in there and it'll be a good tackle from the keeper. Wouldn't He have taught himself there? 97 and a half minutes we've been there. He played now, that was a sign of tiredness, by the way, you also know you can understand it and I think the referee really needs to blow the whistle. Now it's been decent enough from Chelsea too to take the win. It is 98 minutes once the ball is back in play correctly it will go dark in one minute. I'm free I just encourage Teddy Curd to get on with things, move on for another shot at the moment Chelsea's favor will be a lot 98 minutes played Chelsea three points two goals to one of the winners here at the Tottenham training facility Hotspur a good performance all around.

They have been two brilliant pieces of football with excellence from Michael Golden and Josh Ampong. In fact, they gave Chelsea the victory this afternoon. Good performance in all aspects. A good result. Always is good. vet certainly this is what we wanted is not at the beginning of the game you always say take victory. I think also the nature of victory. I think we played well. The passes were good. The movement was good. Your work periods. field where it was a bit scruffy and scruffy, that's to be expected, but let's listen, let's not take anything away from the two goals we scored.

I think they were excellent. Michael Gold is finished and actually swings from the top corner of his left foot. Yes, brilliant, lovely to look at. great team to watch today, absolutely true, yes well contested London Derby, a contentious event at times but very much a professional and composed performance from Chelsea Harris and Murray's camera, we can see in the center of the image that Frankie also directs it very involved, Travis akamea. Winning captain, lots of good displays, good performances, Teddy Curd and the Chelsea goal too, and we'll see a lot of his involvement as we look at the highlights of this morning's game.

Good opportunity here, Clive, and another day you'd like. To finish, if you want a really good tackle, yes, you have to give credit to the defenders to be honest, you know, because their pace just takes you away from the players that you can't catch up with and they did well on this occasion. saved here by Kurt he does it well, he stands at the first post, what do you expect it to be, but he still has to make the safe? It was Frankie who was a real thorn in Tottenham's side in the first half on this left with Bonnie facing him. the overlap saw that many chances and Lewis flourished almost leading Chelsea in front, yes that deserved more in some respects, good fluid movement, it's almost right to left and the overlapping run and the little slide rule that this little guy passes clip inside the box unfortunately. flowersI can't get the flower, I can't get to the end of that and direct it towards the target, but beautiful play, this was a super turn.

This is when he shows how good he could be on the ball, his composure in taking out Michael Golden again relaxing. see the goal finish one you know excellent goal really very good goal for Michael Golden yes, as you mentioned, Frankie's previous play he executes it just to turn and turn and then the shot also uses almost three or four Spurs bodies, as it is a distraction only to turn and fight your way to the top. Brilliant corner opener, yeah, nothing better than a wing. I'm making a side look silly and Frankie directed them, he really did that there, but not only that created a goal, which is great, you would be. partial from that perspective I have seen him here defending Murray Campbell several times, yes, the brilliant one, yes, right?

Yeah, two lockdowns, you know, it seems like we're a little stretched. The perfect opportunity may not make the best contact. the ball that Lankshire can, but you know what we had to put bodies behind the ball and we did it well, yes, we could also say Gunter in the Spurs goal because that was one that saw Luke earlier and was about to get in. I think he was offside in the end, but he also could have been deflected by a Spurs defender. Yes, we also talk about delivery. I mean, someone else could come in for Frankie Run and we did this, giving the ball away too cheaply. and here you see the Spurs bombing forward, getting Bodies In The Box trying to make things happen, which they did and, uh, I get their just rewards, yeah you can finish off Jamie Donnie, but he's on the brink of the first Tough mid-timer, largely controlled by Chelsea.

Very disappointing prospect of reaching all levels, but the second half started, you would have to say that Spurs started very well in the second half, but fortunately, that's how it finally turned out Chelsea continued their promotion, but we saw that it didn't last . Although that's the only thing I would say, would you expect it as we see here? But it didn't really last long enough. Decent ball on a good save at the near spot. There is a good spot on this ball. They have a corridor there. it makes for a great ball, but again I said I could just watch it.

Suffocates, could save a good distribution on his left side. The first thing I can say is that it worked in the second half. A chance here for Mikey Moore to get shot. That again Harris and Murray Campbell on the way, yeah, and we've seen it time and time again in the game and us defenders lined up our bodies and got some blocks, we just thought maybe he could have hit it a little quicker . There is a bit of stuttering just before taking the shot, which gave us a chance to block. This is also a good opportunity.

A great first touch. On target. Another day, they fly into the top corner, but it's hard to take a snapshot. maybe because it could have caused those problems, but as we said during the game, sometimes it can make things seem so simple, can't it? Good hands. Chelsea began to build and watched everyone order the delivery, very natural, the mental adult who nodded to Chelsea in front, yes, in another. creeping day, isn't it? You know he doesn't get enough or he gets more and he's in one of the bottom corners, but the delivery is decent, but the man does it well.

His work rate today has been excellent again. any defender's goal coming forward, we'll say I've done it before in my career and in fact Anton certainly does it well, the sweetest shot, you like it, he doesn't try to pass too much, good space for him to do it. The complaints from the Spurs coaches will be why don't we close him down if they give you that space to shoot and get your reward and that's what he's done absolutely right and you have to say if you're going to win a game against him. Tottenham, doing it the right way and winning it with a goal like that is very appropriate because it was a fantastic finish and Chelsea almost had a comfort blanket and a tudimental of Those headers here just for me, the ball hits him in place of him and I think if he had done it, I think it would have been a great goal, it really would have been an impressive performance from Chelsea and luckily nothing else did.

Chelsea wins two goals to one Michael Golden and Josh Chelsea beat Buzz or a good start to the weekend thanks foreigner
