Frank Leboeuf: "They [Chelsea] were strong in the middle of the park. Enzo Fernandez, Caicedo and James were above the three PSG midfielders, who are considered the best in the world."

airmark:
That was exactly why we also struggled but with a better striker than your Jakujaku Jackson, we are now the World Champions.

Una no wan learn, now una PSG don learn the hard way. No need for striker in modern football oshi.

psg won 5 trophies without a traditional 9.

Battering teams from knockout stages 18-0 aggregate. Why didn’t those teams with traditional 9 save themselves from PSG?

If you check, Joao Pedro made a run that made Vitinha start to leave Palmer to chase JP, expecting Beraldo to shut down Palmer

It's a standard move, but Beraldo did not cover Palmer as he was similarly distracted by JP, causing Vitinha to return to Palmer after switching his stance to chase JP, but by then Palmer already had the 5 yards to get his shot away. You can watch the video, also highlighted below what Vitinha was expecting Beraldo to do while he covers JP. Vitinha showed good pace and robustness in that move but was ultimately undone by the JP run causing a miscommunication with Beraldo

The main ghost worker is our CM than cannot be trusted in a 2 man midfield, but at least we made tactical adjustment to accommodate him with 2 DMs behind him

Shey Vitinha wey you dy praise dy play in two man mildfield

Griffon:
Cole Palmer in finals:

• Brace in the Club World Cup final ✅

• Two assists in the Conference League final ✅

• Goal in the EURO final ✅

• Goal in the European Super Cup final ✅

greater than deybrune and Salah when it matters most.

Omo

Griffon:
Robert Sanchez speaks such an impeccable English.

righttttt.

Sounded like he was born in England or something.

Griffon:
Cole Palmer in finals:

• Brace in the Club World Cup final ✅

• Two assists in the Conference League final ✅

• Goal in the EURO final ✅

• Goal in the European Super Cup final ✅

Balon D'or form. Inject it.

Kimbeast:
Keep linking irrelevant posts. The traditional 9 you requested for In Delap was on the bench for a fluid attacker in Pedro. Keep giving yourself imaginary W when it's actually an L.

Anything that makes him sleep well at night.

Osimhen and gyokeres, sesko, vlahovic etc are no longer his choice, but any player.

Haaland he was using as an example of a traditional 9 needed to win trophies is no longer the type of 9, he wants Chelsea to sign.

How many times was j.p in the box with box presence.

Realtord43:
Android17, bring your Folden to recreate this.

if I be Android, I no go argue Palmer and foden again for now.

Gucciboy:
We have gotten bragging rights for the next four years.

Any small football argument or agenda now we will say put your club world trophy on the table.

the first and only to do it.


The previous ones are now intercontinental winners instead of CWC winners 🤣🤣

Meaning no club in England is ever coming close to this achievement in this decade.

airmark:
How many did support cast score today? Abi support cast don cast?

Traditional no 9, scored 13 goals last night

My own na to go this Flamengo X account and cook this admin.

The banter that day no be here. Palmer even collect banter that day.

Infact make I head there now

Chelsea admin don dey cook already

WTF. That ninja has ran away more times than he has ever defended his sham NL career

nihilistjnr:
Balon D'or form. Inject it.

If he keeps going this way, Omo make I relax first sha.

“I think João can play in all the attacking positions for us, wide, #10 and a #9.

Let me drop this maresca quote here, incase tomorrow we see joão Pedro, starting and scoring from different positions.

Enzo5:

Shey you and Joezinho talk say my idea of matching them numerically in the midfield doesn’t matter?

How come you’re on this train?

Are games won and lost in the middle of the park?

Saw their opening play gimmick,and I knew we are sending the ball back to their half,lols James never even let me talk am finish b4 he kick am back


Chelsea tried to always keep the ball in PSG’s half,also I respect Sanchez’s long play,it died any iota of press at out back

Kudos to everyone,the game plan was successfully achieved


Anyone blaming fatigue is delulu all “rounder”

Well done, Maresca! This win is all down to you.
Congratulations everyone!

For one of the goals, Gusto made a run that dragged Mendes away from Palmer too

Proper stuff

popizaino:
Things you’ll find in Cucurella pockets:

1. Keys
2. Phone
3. Wallet
4. Dembele
5. Mendes

The man was pure class in that match. What pains me the most is that the way some people overrated these Psg players, saying none of our players would make PSG's starting XI, not even one, haba, what an insult.

Trevor012, Leyqute and Joezinho

I told you guys…..una go cry las las. 😂😂😂

Na so ooo

Kimbeast:
You know airmark is shameless so let him be. Someone that was preaching for traditional 9 in Gyokeres or Osimhen is now changing tone. A fluid attack won us this game.

Give credit to the defense too


Keep a clean sheet against the mighty psg. With a balondor winner is no easy feat

airmark:
I hope you know where i stood since they won Ucl and why thunder must fire A40 for insulting me?

I'm even talking about rival fans

Someone said maybe he has forgotten his Nairaland's password

Ibime:
The £100m talk for Jackson is just yanga to try to get £50m from him

Although I saw JP as a goalscoring winger, his movement for the third goal was a classic no9 movement. He stepped back to measure the offside trap and also confuse the defender, then quickly made his run

One thing I know about wingers or AMs that convert to no9 is once they taste blood as a no9, they will never want to step back to their former position. It happened to me in Uni football. I knew I would score easily as no9 and once I convinced my captain to move me there and started scoring immediately, I never considered myself anything other than a striker until an injury layoff ultimately sent me back to CB in my final year

I have seen it happen to Van Persie, Luis Suarez, Lewandowski, Arnautovic and Michael Antonio who all played wings or midfield in the case of Lewandowski. Once they taste blood, they will not want to go back to their former position and JP is looking like that kind of person to me which means Jackson is now 3rd on the bench and should be thrown away as Guiu will cover 3rd striker easily

I mean check this JP movement for the goal, how he quickly stepped back to measure the offside trap and confuse the defender before making his final run. His hold up play and strength was also very good in the game, although against Beraldo
who is somewhat physically weak.

These were the kind of chances that were falling to Jackson and we will be begging him to score 🤦


We'd even be analysing wether palmer overhit the pass or not🤦

Caicedo would walk into PSG midfield
No argue me

airmark:
let's celebrate with our effective Joao Pedro. We got him even during the competition and now we are the World Champions. Case closed.

We got your traditional 9 In Delap and he was on the bench.

Na Taguchi talk that nonsense yesterday

Taguchi:


Instead of being emotional, can you justify the selection of Palmer over Doue or cucurela over Mendes based on the competition .

The fact that it's a combined 11 doesn't mean it must contain players from both teams.

I'm not even trolling, currently ,no Chelsea player can bench any of PSGs first 11.
