Chelsea podcast recorded and out soon. The most presses we've made in any match for nearly 2 years (260), despite having 61% possession and playing 45 mins with a man advantage. Incredible intensity from the Reds
The most impressive thing about our pressing in was the balance of the system. Coming up are 3 pressmaps and look at the symmetry in the left and right halves of the pitch
1. Mo and Mane. Either high, central inside the oppostion box or to the outside of the halfspaces
2. Bobby and Naby. High and central between the D and centre circle focusing on Jorginho (Bobby) and Kovacic (Naby). Bobby targeted Jorginho 13 times in total and Naby 15 on Kovacic
3. Hendo/Milner/Thiago/Gini. Middle third across the pitch, mostly with in 10 metres of the centre circle. Backing up the front 4 players as 2nd line of defence
All in all, one of the highest quality pressing performances we've ever seen. The Reds crushing machine is back ♥️
