Former football legend Jamie Carragher has shared some notable insights following the 1-1 draw between Manchester City and Chelsea.
The highly anticipated clash between Manchester City and Chelsea in the 25th round of the Premier League ended with a draw. The Citizens, as usual, dominated the visiting team. However, Mauricio Pochettino’s team played very well.
The attacking moves of the Blues were relatively sharp. If Nicolas Jackson hadn’t wasted opportunities, Chelsea might have left with all 3 points.
Thiago Silva speaks about the future of Football
Silva finds it difficult to stay longer.Chelsea opened the scoring thanks to Raheem Sterling. It wasn’t until the 83rd minute that Rodri unleashed a long-range shot to secure 1 point for Manchester City.
In this match, Manchester City had 71% ball possession, attempted 31 shots, but only hit the target 5 times, with an accuracy rate of only 0.16%, which is very low.
Clearly, Chelsea’s defense played relatively well even without Thiago Silva. The duo of Axel Disasi and Levi Colwill worked well together.
Therefore, Carragher remarked, “Silva has played very well since he arrived here, but with his age and his contract expiring soon, he doesn’t have much time left. It’s very difficult for Silva to return to the starting lineup unless someone gets injured. Chelsea needs to start looking towards the future.”
These insights from Carragher shed light on the tactical and strategic considerations facing Chelsea as they navigate the challenges of team composition and future planning in the competitive world of football.
