Werner was ranked by coach Thomas Tuchel as the highest player in Chelsea’s attack in the confrontation with Real Madrid at Alfredo Di Stefano. He had the first dangerous chance of the match, but shot Thibaut Courtois in the empty position at a distance of only 5.5 meters. Werner missed the chance at a distance of just 5.5 meters.

After that, the two sides created many opportunities but could not convert into goals. A 1-1 draw gave Chelsea some advantage before entering the second leg at Stamford Bridge on May 6. In the following video, Silva’s wife added: “We need a goal. We need to win this game, but the strikers don’t want to score. I don’t understand why they don’t score.” According to the statistics of Squawka The German striker has had 29 distinct opportunities this season, but only converted into a goal of eight of them. He became the Premier League player to miss the most missed opportunities in the national championship and the European arena. During the post-match press conference, coach Thomas Tuchel also expressed his disappointment, but confirmed that Chelsea “have nothing to cry about” before Werner’s missed opportunities. The German strategist believes his professionalism will help his countryman improve his performance. Werner explained the celebration towards the bench The German striker explained the message of the celebration after scoring the only goal that helped Chelsea beat host West Ham in round 33 of the Premier League.

On Saturday night (23:30 on April 24), Chelsea started the sprint period with a heavy schedule, starting with the London derby at home West Ham. Chelsea entered the final month of the 2020-21 season fiercely, starting with a derby with West Ham Both have the same 55 points, and Chelsea are on top thanks to the sub-index. The London Stadium match will have a great influence on both opponents’ ambitions to win the Champions League next season. West Ham is having a wonderful season with coach David Moyes. Meanwhile, with Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea, the end of the Premier League race in the top 4 can be considered a success. After the London derby, Chelsea had to fly to Spain to play Real Madrid, within the first leg of the Champions League semi-final. The second leg between the two teams took place a week later, at Stamford Bridge. Between two strong letters with Real Madrid, Chelsea has a match against Fulham – opponents are struggling to stay relegated. Thus, in the next 10 days, Chelsea will face important turning points in both the Premier League and the Champions League. Not stopping, right after completing the semi-finals of the Champions League, Chelsea had to play Man City. If nothing unusual, this match could name Pep Guardiola’s army as English football champions. Real Madrid is Chelsea’s biggest rival Chelsea probably didn’t want to see this. Just trying to stop Man City from winning early, Tuchel teachers and students have a different derby with Arsenal. In the last two rounds of the Premier League, the Blues faced Leicester and Aston Villa respectively – who could completely make them embrace their hatred in their attempt to win the top 4. Also, in mid-May, Chelsea played the FA Cup final against Leicester. 9 battles in a month, density 3 days / match, the sprint to the finish of the Blues is really tough. The challenge with Tuchel Since being selected to replace Frank Lampard, coach Thomas Tuchel has made a big mark with Chelsea. Chelsea’s defense is great Former captain Dortmund and PSG bring a flourishing image for Chelsea to step up in the Premier rankings. They reached the FA Cup final, and the Champions League semi-final. Chelsea spent 20 official matches with Tuchel, with 65% victory. This rate is much higher than its predecessor Lampard – 52.4%. The strength that Tuchel brings is defensive performance. Chelsea only received 9 goals, with 15 matches kept clean sheets. Since Tuchel’s debut at Chelsea, with Wolves 0-0, no team in the 5 major leagues (Spain, England, Italy, Germany and France) has such a high clean sheet rate. However, the attacking effectiveness of the Blues is not high. Only 26 goals were scored after 20 games that Tuchel directed. 1/4 of the past games they cannot score. Great challenge awaits Thomas Tuchel The German strategist helps Timo Werner to be more involved in the match. Kai Havertz also improved. But the mutation is still low. Upcoming, Chelsea’s opponents are all strong teams, or “dark horses” of the season. In the Champions League arena, Real Madrid is much more brave than Atletico or Porto. Domestically, Chelsea won only West Ham 2 in the last 7 matches; inferior to Man City (won 2, lost 4 – including penalty shootout); won only 1 match in 6 recent confrontations with Leicester (3 matches not scored). The past 20 games are just the beginning of Thomas Tuchel’s adventure with Chelsea. Big challenges really await this 47-year-old military leader.

Timo Werner.

“If it were me, I would always use Ziyech because he is the best player. He can either run into the lane or do flip flops. Mount can do the same job and Giroud needs something. there.

Werner is super fast and what can work in an away game when you’re under pressure. But Werner is like a blind horse, just keeping his head down and running. He proved it in Germany.

Mount is a great player, and I think he needs a step forward, similar to Calvin Stengs (22-year-old Dutch striker playing for AZ Alkmaar), “Van der Vaart said.

Werner joined Chelsea last summer from RB Leipzig. Despite the great expectations, the German striker only scored 10 goals and 11 assists after 41 appearances in all competitions.

True to Van der Vaart’s words, Werner’s strength lies in speed, but the striker’s ability to finish is super bad, often missing Chelsea’s delicious opportunities. Werner’s confidence has since declined significantly since then, leaving him on the bench for many games by coach Thomas Tuchel.

Contrary to Werner, Mount is more and more rocky and is currently Chelsea’s most important player. If not improving soon, Werner is likely to be completely knocked out of the main Chelsea squad instead of nowadays.

Chelsea advanced to the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in seven years, despite a 1–0 defeat in the second leg. Surprisingly, in Tuesday night’s game, Thomas Tuchel’s side failed to score and Porto did just that. In theory, the Blues’ expected goal tcoring (xG) is 1.1 and Porto’s is 0.6.

The same happened during PSG’s match against Bayern at the Parc des Princes. The home side played better, creating an expected 2.1 goals that did not once put the ball into the net, eventually receiving a 1–0 defeat to Bayern with only 1.3 goalscoring ability.

Fortunately for PSG, they have built a very good foundation from the first leg with a capital of three away goals. It was also a strange result, because in reality, Bayern were the better team that day. Hansi Flick’s pupils made 31 tackles and an expected goal t3.6, while PSG were much lower, just 1.3.

Bayern were eliminated after making 45 shots in two legs against PSG

These figures show that the Champions League is really attractive, fierce and extremely unpredictable. The team that played better, created more chances is unlikely to have won, and the winner is unlikely to be the team to go on. The result depends on quite a few factors and luck is an important factor. But above all, don’t lose in the first leg.

This seems bad news for Liverpool and Dortmund, who are plotting a comeback. Especially when they played very disappointingly in the first leg. Liverpool had an expected 0.83 goals in a 1–3 defeat to Real, while Dortmund were 0.97 in a 1–2 loss to Man City. According to analysis from the Euro Club Index, the yellow-and-black team has only a 13% chance of going on. Liverpool are slightly higher at 15%.

History of course doesn’t stand for under-weakers. In 13 defeats in the first leg of the knock-out rounds in European competition, Liverpool were eliminated up to 11 times. Similarly to Dortmund, they were eliminated from the Champions League 6/7 times in the first leg.

According to analysis from the Euro Club Index, Liverpool have a 15% chance of going on

Sometimes the feat occurs, as in the 2018/19 season Liverpool won 4–0 against Barca to reverse the previous 0–3 loss. But you know, if it happened often people didn’t call it a feat.

Not everything against Dortmund and Liverpool, though. Unlike Bayern and Porto, they played the second leg at home, and at home indeed, Signal Iduna Park with Anfield, rather than on the ground.

In addition, the task of both is also simpler with 1 goal achieved away. This is a huge advantage. Of those who won 2–1 in the first leg of the Champions League at home, the number of teams eliminated (15) was more than the next (12). And Real, who have played in the European Cup 10 times, led 3-1 at home, but were eliminated four times.

So anything can happen. But quite certainly, Liverpool and Dortmund were forced to be better than themselves a week ago. They don’t need to create a lot of chances often, but when it comes, even with a very small table-to-table ability, they have to immediately turn them into goals.

Finally, you know, Champions League success has to do with luck. Liverpool, like Dortmund, should hope it is on their side so that everything they do is correct. As in 2019 at Anfield, Georginio Wijnaldum coming on as a substitute for Andrew Robertson was perhaps the best decision Juergen Klopp had ever made, with Divock Origi suddenly making a hero and telling him from God that Alexander-Arnold launched an unprecedentedly daring corner kick.

A crazy result can only be made up of moments of madness, and every number is always for reference only.
