Chelsea team analysis
tr_defence
• 1-4-3-3 or 1-3-4-3 with two screening midfielders
• Emphasis on building from back; but long options when pressed
• Fast counterattacking based on direct supply to fast, powerful striker Kirby
• Bright the defensive leader, main distributor of forward passes from the back
• Ji So Yun the playmaker; close control with both feet, excellent vision
• Pressure on ball-carrier while team-mates retreat into defensive block
• Good use of wing play, notably by Bachmann’s fast runs on left
• Disciplined defending with good positional play to cut off passing lines
• Competent goalkeeping by Lindahl; good handling, accurate distribution
• Able to play high-tempo combinations; effective unit with strong team ethic
Emma Hayes (18/10/1976) head coach since 2012
