Chelsea lacked 2-1 winners against the Premier League Liverpool champions on Saturday despite a weakened team, and Sky Sports expert Micah Richards said that a player in difficulty previously shone alongside Moises Caicedo.
Chelsea Battle to Dramatic 2-1 Victory on Liverpool
After what has been difficult for a few last weeks in the accumulation of their confrontation at Stamford Bridge, with reports even suggesting tension between Enzo Maresca and the Board of Directors of Chelsea (Simon Phillips), the Blues could not have gone into the international break on more than one summit.
The supporters may have feared the worst, knowing that Maresca had precious options to choose by the defensive, Trevoh Chalobah, Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill and Tosin Adarabioyo were all forced to miss Liverpool by an injury or a suspension.
MARESCA chose to launch the young Josh ACHAMBONG alongside Benoit Badiashiles in the heart of the defense of Chelsea, and the duo managed to keep the side of Arne Slot enough while the West Londoners sealed a dramatic victory.
Until now, Caicedo has opened the scoring with one of the goals of the season, rushing a long -range strike ahead of Giorgi Marmadashvilli just 14 minutes after the beginnings of the Premier League goalkeeper.
Cody Gakpo managed to grasp one for visitors, but it was an exciting teenage feeling Estevao Willian who scored the next additional time – guaranteeing the three points while the Maresca Rava was sent for her jubilant celebrations.
Caicedo and Estevao have made most of the titles for their obvious contributions on an afternoon to remember Chelsea, but some other star artists deserve a worthy mention.
The rear right star reece james was impeccable against Liverpool, and Chelsea will pray that the problem of shin of English is not too serious after he withdraws from the team of England with Nico O’reilly of Man City.

In addition to the aforementioned star and bought Enzo Fernandez again turned out to be very capable in his role as a more advanced midfielder.
The Argentinian international had trouble justifying his gigantic price at that time last year after a difficult start for life in London, but he has since become a pillar of the Maresca midfielder while Fernandez also attracts a serious interest from Real Madrid.
Micah Richards says that Chelsea Enzo Fernandez star now “everything”
Speaking about the rest of the football podcast, Richards was effusive in his praise for the 24 -year -old after Liverpool – saying that Fernandez has now “everything” after having become a “leader” in Chelsea.
Even taking into account the strange performance below normal this season, Maresca clearly indicated what he thinks of Fernandez, the Italian highlighting his use plan of the ex-star of Benfica in a role of midfielder attacking most often.
“We used it in 90% of our games as an offensive midfielder, and I think it is very good in this position,” said Maresca before their defeat against Brighton.
“But it depends a bit on what we think of the match plan. Enzo, for us, is an important player and we try to use it as much as possible.
“The reason why he can have good or bad times is in the number of games. For any player, it is impossible to think that you can play 45 games – or the 64 games we played last season – all at the same level.
“It is normal for you to fall into some games, but we are very satisfied with Enzo.”
