Chelsea lost 0-2 to Manchester City in the opening match of the English Premier League in the 2024-2025 season at Stamford Bridge in London on the 19th (Korea time). Chelsea, who replaced Mauricio Pochettino ahead of this season and appointed Pep Guardiola's right-hand man Enzo Maresca, who showed good performance at Leicester City, seemed to do well against the 'Champion'. Although Erling Holan allowed consecutive goals in the 18th minute of the first half and Mateo Kovacic in the 39th minute of the second half, the performance itself was not bad. Maresca also played well for most of the game. He didn't score a goal, but he created a chance. Overall, the performance was good."
John Obi Mikel also commented that `It wasn't perfect, but Chelsea played well.' Only one, except for Nicola Jackson's play. Jackson was the front-line striker on the day, but he was consistent with his worst play. Missed a crucial chance that didn't come a few times. Mikel said "Chelsea created an opportunity, but it didn't save it at all. It was a game that showed how Jackson was so determined."Look at how he shot past two or three people. Chelsea need a striker to score." Then "I know I talk about him too much. It may seem disrespectful of him, but it's not like that at all."Chelsea needs a top striker who can score goals. A player like Holan who scored 91 goals for Manchester City."
Daniel Sturridge was more primary. Sturridge is "inexcusable. In his football intelligence." "If you know what other players are going to shoot, you should prepare for penetration in a good position for a chance to be made. Be prepared if the goalkeeper fails to handle the ball properly and spills it"As any striker would know, chances like this don't come often. You shouldn't be in an offside position when you get a chance and catch a rebounding ball.
