On the night of November 11, Beijing time, in the 11th round of the Premier League, Chelsea drew 1-1 with Arsenal at home. After the match, media commentator Mickey Rabbit-Willow Fourteen discussed the game and analyzed the current issues facing the Blues.
Mickey Rabbit-Willow Fourteen wrote on his social media, “Chelsea’s strength lies in their quick transitions from defense to attack. However, their technical skills in the midfield and defensive areas are not solid. As a result, when faced with Arsenal’s high press, they experience disconnection and passivity. The injury to Lavia led to Enzo’s appearance, which actually alleviated Chelsea’s problems, allowing Palmer to avoid excessive defensive responsibilities. Especially since Arsenal was slow to react and continued to mark Palmer, they left Enzo open as an offensive initiator. Subsequently, having to cover both Enzo and Palmer also gave Palmer more space to receive the ball, allowing Chelsea to engage in a more even contest with Arsenal. Unfortunately, Chelsea’s scoring efficiency was still low, resulting in a 1-1 draw.”
Additionally, the media commentator added, “Apart from his technical role in organizing attacks, Enzo also has good tackling accuracy. Although he can be bypassed by faster players, he can anticipate and intercept the ball in 50-50 situations, providing some advantages. For Chelsea to improve further, they need to find the right way to use Enzo, which will help compensate for the team’s ball-handling deficiencies in midfield.”
