MORNING FANS
Frank Lampard said he was satisfied with one point after the Blues opened their Champions League crusade with a 0-0 draw with Sevilla.
He said, “[The blank sheet is] anything you try. Thiago has shown delight and quality. Mendy had an impediment to do and he did. It was a very arranged defensive functionality on our part.
“We control all the things that were thrown at us. We had a few moments, too. It’s wise, it’s a matter of two very smart groups being annuled in the first game, and we take the point and move on. “
“I think any of the groups will be quite satisfied with that. We’re going to get better, I stay saying the same thing, we haven’t had the staff there, we play regularly, we build relationships, we paint with others.
“If we do this, we will naturally get better. “
The result came hours after the Blues named club legend and 38-year-old football director Petr Cech on their list of 25 Premier League players.
Although Chelsea have well-documented goalkeeper problems, naming Cech on the list will cause a lot of eyebrows.
The Czech star retired at the end of the 2018–19 season after a four-year era with London’s rival Arsenal.
But Cech respected Stamford Bridge and returned as football director through general manager Marina Granovskaia.
Meanwhile, Chelsea requested the payment of a five million pound loan and Antonio Rudiger’s entire weekly salary to pay for the summer window, according to reports.
German centre-back desperate for an overdue departure from Stamford Bridge after being kicked off Frank Lampard’s team this season.
But according to The Athletic, the clubs have been postponed by Rudiger’s transfer.
If Chelsea do not pay any wages for the 27-year-old combined with the loan fee, they would have 12. 5 million pounds to take the defender for a season.

Kai Havertz – 8
One of the only Chelsea players who seemed to be able to make a difference tonight. Havertz was serene on the ball and was looking to create whenever he could.
Mason assembly – 5
He always fights and turns out without a trace. He made a bad game and failed at all in the play. Mount his anguish in the 61st minute when he went to Ziyech.
Christian Pulisic – 5
He hasn’t regained the spark he had before his injury last season, but he’s had another smart outing with a few minutes in the tank. He fought to the right and looked more menacing when he deviateed to the left.
Timo Werner – 5
I deserve to have made it bigger with a few occasions and he struggled to make a player take effect as the sole striker. It was far from his most productive game and was largely overturned through Seville’s experienced baseline.
. . .
Thiago Silva – 7
Like Zouma, Silva did an intelligent task when asked, but never felt too pressured by Seville, who was content to keep the property in less harmful areas.
Jorginho – 5
A stupid reprimand after a bad touch at the start of the match and some tense and demanding situations then prevented him from doing a resting job in between. It was a poor match for the captain that night and he was transferred to Kovacic halfway through the middle of the moment.
N’Golo Kante – 5
He looked pretty bad and fought on a pivot with Jorginho. Although doing the basics well, it was a game for someone of Kante’s quality.
Evaluations
Edouard Mendy – 8
He returned from the injury and made a fantastic rescue reaction after a deflected headbutt in the first half. Not only has he made some saves, but he also provides that reassuring presence that Chelsea misses on his back when he’s not there.
James Reece – 9
Chelsea star James was one of Chelsea’s only brilliant players tonight and sought to make a difference. It’s been a risk from the right and from the right to the defensive.
Ben Chilwell – 7
It was Chilwell’s forged functionality on the left, it didn’t do much damage and seemed to threaten in attack.
Kurt Zouma – 7
Zouma had a pretty quiet game tonight and defended himself well if necessary.
FRANK BLANK
Dave Kidd of SunSport said: “This would have been a compelling announcement for an expanded European Super League.
“JP Morgan’s U. S. investment bankers are destined to fund a new invitation festival to update the Champions League.
“It is the first goalless draw of Lampard’s reign at Stamford Bridge when Chelsea cured their defensive incontinence against the royalty of European football.
“This blank blade almost as clever as a victory for the Blues boss, such had been the growing discontent with his team’s defense.
“But here’s a genuine first look at the new Chelsea, with the club’s six primary signings on the field at the same time and at the same time. “
FT: CHELSEA 0 SEVILLA 0
The Blues flew and flew, but in the end they couldn’t find a winner at Stamford Bridge.

CECH MATE
A bad day for Chelsea’s maximum signing when Petr Cech is forced to retire as an emergency cover . . .
American
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard underestimated Christian Pulisic because he was An American, according to RB Salzburg manager Jesse Marsch.
He told Extratime Radio: “The belief in Europe, mainly, is that the American player is in a position to run, in a position to fight, he has an intelligent mindset, but technically he is not very talented and tactically, he is not very aware of his experiences. they’re not very big.
“But we are seeing this change. We’re seeing them develop more and more.
“Even Frank Lampard, when I spoke to him in the preseason a year ago, was talking to him about having Christian Pulisic and he said, ‘Yes, he was given a lot to be informed, so we’ are going to see how he is.
“I said, “Look, he in Dortmund, and they had a higher point of tactical thinking, play, and he did very well. “
“He is regarded as one of Germany’s most productive young players and is in a player organization with Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Joshua Kimmich, that type of player.
“I was in an organization with those players, and it wasn’t just because I was talented, but because I understood tactics and understood how to have compatibility in the game and developed a smart way to play.
“I can immediately see that Christian Pulisic’s concept of Frank Lampard was formed largely through the fact that he, an American, and not much of his football education, came from what happened in Germany.
“Since then, I Lampard has learned that Pulisic is much bigger than he has attributed to him.
ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY
Edouard Mendy is back from an injury to start tonight with Chelsea in front of Sevilla.

CECH THIS
Chelsea have sensationally included 38-year-old club legend and Petr Cech director on their list of 25 Premier League players.

But Cech respected Stamford Bridge and returned as football director through general manager Marina Granovskaia.
A on Chelsea’s online page tried to explain why the goalkeeper had been released from retirement.

ED IN HAND

The former Chelsea winger has not yet played for Real Madrid this season and will be out for a month.
Speaking before Real Madrid’s clash at home in the Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk tomorrow, Zidane said: “His injury more than expected.
“But he is already on the field.
“I have total confidence in the other people who paint with him.
“I hope we can see Hazard forever soon. We ask you to come and be with us all season. “
THE BEST FORM OF DEFENSE IS ATTACK
Chelsea captain César Azpilicueta assessed the club’s fragile defensive problems.
He said: “When you’re weak on the defensive, we feel like we have to score 3 or 4 in each and every game.
“I see football as a collective. When we don’t mark as a defense, I think about how we can put our forwards in more important situations.
“In a season you’re not going to win 3-0 or 4-0 each and every week. You have to paint to get effects and the moment we want to. “
Clash of champions
Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui believes Chelsea have a chance to win the Champions League.
As quoted through Goal, the former coach of Spain said: “We oppose one of the groups that can win the festival in Chelsea. Tomorrow we have to get it right, that’s all we can do.
“It’s a wonderful team, with players and they’ve done very well this season.
“Lately they have been sensationally played and will force us to produce our most productive performance both defensively and offensively. Tomorrow we have to do very well.
“Chelsea likes to dominate the ball, just like we do, so I think it’s a group game that has two other types of players, but they have the same concept, which is to dominate the games. That’s what we want to be prepared for. “”

MARTIN LIPTON
Comment: The European Super League is the closest that a 50/50 split has EVER been to whether a £ 4. 6 billion plan will be carried out.
SunSport’s Martin Lipton said: “Here we pass again.
“Another plan for a European Super League. Just like the others. I meant not to go anywhere.
“Except, perhaps, this time, it’s REALLY serious.
“The suggestion of a $4. 6 billion fundraising program and heaps of millions of dollars consistent with the club’s profits would even cause the cynical fog arc to raise an eyebrow.
“Note the fact that Europe’s largest clubs are almost unanimous in their preference to open up currency gates after the Covid-19 crisis, and attractiveness becomes even greater.
“But when you also realize that a new festival would be the ultimate weapon in the sour war between FIFA and UEFA, it’s no surprise that the main resources think there’s a 50-50 chance that the concept will come true. “
THE EU MUST JOKE
Manchester United and Liverpool are reportedly in talks with FIFA about forming an 18-team European Premier League.
Following the failure of their Project Big Six proposal, the two English giants have embarked on a new conspiracy.

“Among the players we’ve recruited, some enjoy the Champions League more than others.
“We have more young players, so it’s vital that we check to make sure we’re informed as we go, because the Champions League is very fierce.

“We saw Sevilla beat the Wolves and Manchester United in the last Europa League campaign, so we saw that they have the point of competing against Premier League teams, and this is a team that needs to play offensively and defensively.
“When they don’t have the ball, they need to get it back and attack temporarily and they also check to put their attackers in dangerous situations.
“Last season in La Liga they ended up in the Champions League and won the Europa League, so they had a very smart season and this season in the same way.
“We expect a tough match but we’re Chelsea, we’re home, we say our first match in the Champions League, so we have to be in a position to compete. “
HITTING A
