Match Analysis: Graham Potter’s Chelsea debut vs. Salzburg #CHESAL
Potter set his team up in a 3-diamond-3 formation in-possession, a shape we could observe often at Brighton as well.

Especially in the 1st half, Chelsea was regularly able to progress down the right against Salzburg’s asymmetric 4-diamond-2 press. When Kjaergaard (left 8) moved out, Mount was often free, if Salzbrug didn't adjust. When the pass was played wide, Chelsea had a 2v1 overload wide.
At times, Sucic would leave Jorginho to press Mount, but this obviously allowed Chelsea to easily progress through Jorginho and break the press.
