Frank Lampard has hit the air extremely cheerfully with his project completed after a first season in the direction of the Premier League.
Chelsea secured a position among the 4 most sensitive that, as Lampard soon recalls to all, few gave them the chance to succeed last summer with the possibilities that are opposed to them.
A movement ban had sold their player at Eden Hazard and a rookie coach brought in to protect Chelsea’s youth and pass a new generation.
So it was Mason Mount, a graduate of the Academy, who scored and helped another kid fit to prove that he doesn’t have to break his piggy bank to get star quality.
Mount remarkable in a solid, mature and composite functionality of Chelsea, as they only needed one point to get a position in the Champions League, but they never showed the nerves to burst on the last day.
Olivier Giroud played with his 14th goal of the season, his eighth in the Premier League and the 33-year-old’s renaissance came just before the FA Cup final backing his former club, Arsenal, next Saturday.
And if Chelsea can raise the cutlery to a position among the four most sensitive, Lampard deserves to be discussed among the aspiring manager of the year for all he has achieved this season.
In addition, the long run looks brilliant with the new 53 million pound contract, Timo Werner, at Stamford Bridge to see his new club claim a position in the Champions League, while they also signed Hakim Ziyech to Ajax.
It is also very likely that they are looking for a new goalkeeper, as goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was eliminated for the last game of the season and the only challenge for Chelsea is to recover the money from their spending of 71 million pounds.
Understudy Willy Caballero looked much safer, never seemed to be awarded and seemed too far a game for the Wolves who, despite wanting to win in their own quest for Europe, were short of concepts and under the standards of this season.
Wolves can sneak in because they are still in the Europa League and if Chelsea wins the FA Cup, 7th place will suffice, but completing this summit still deserves to be recognized after a season that began 12 months ago with a Europa League playoff.
But Chelsea looked at the controls from the moment she advanced in the first half. Pedro Neto granted a foul to Marcos Alonso on the edge of the area. Alonso seemed to take it, perhaps wolf porter Rui Patricio had taken the wrong foot for what had happened next.
Mount advanced to throw a very good loose kick with his right foot above the wall and into the farthest corner to break the impasse with a sensational blow.
Three minutes later, Chelsea had extra time for their time. This time, Chelsea came out of the depths as Christian Pulisic leapt forward, a victim of a foul, but referee Stuart Attwell played brilliant merit to allow Mount to take the lead and play Giroud.
Giroud used all his delight and strength to stretch and direct the ball to the net with his left foot to his remarkable and impressive form with his seventh purpose since the season resumed.
In the area of an additional 3-minute time, the game was now under Chelsea’s control as the Wolves season eluded. Adama Traoré entered the break for extra speed, as he was temporarily followed by a triple replacement with Joao Moutinho, Daniel Podence and Ruben Vinagre.
But the Wolves may simply not find a way back to the festival when it was Chelsea who seemed more likely to score again, but the task was done.
