Just stare at the promoted horse wool! With 14 goals and 5 assists in 17 games, Raheem Sterling knows how to abuse food
After a change of manager and another reinforcement in the summer window, the ambitious Chelsea in the new season suffered an embarrassment of one draw and one defeat in the first two rounds of the Premier League.
The difficulty of scoring goals is still a problem that plagues the team, so the 3-0 win over Luton Town is not only a good start to the new season, Raheem Sterling's 2 shots and 1 pass and Jacquesson's first Premier League goal may make the team's forward line usher in a small outbreak.
01. Hit the promotion of professional households! Raheem Sterling has 14 goals and 5 assists in 17 games
a. Meet your favourite promotion horse: Raheem Sterling scored 3 goals
Raheem Sterling's form has been very good this season, and the penalty in the last round of the Premier League should have helped the team complete the comeback, but Enzo could not grasp it.
Against Luton Town this time, Sterling simply came on his own, not only scoring 2 goals on 5 shots and 3 shots on target, but also providing assists to Jacquesson, and the pass success rate was as high as 89%.
It is worth mentioning that Raheem Sterling is extremely efficient against the promoted teams, plus this game, the last 17 Premier League promotion teams directly involved in 19 goals (14 goals and 5 assists).
b. More importantly: helping Jacquesson score his first Premier League goal
The summer window triggered €37 million in liquidated damages to Chelsea, and Jaxon played at an impressive level in the first round against Liverpool, but unfortunately failed to score.
Against Luton, his five shots and three shots on target finally came to fruition, scoring his first goal in the Premier League.
Jakson, who has the reputation of African Neymar, has a very good job on his feet, and against Liverpool, he also had Gakpo suddenly dribbling into the box and finishing his shot before Van Dijk.
Unfortunately, Jaxon, who is fast and technically good, is still not very efficient in his shot. Last season's superb shot conversion rate in the last three months of La Liga has fallen severely since arriving in the Premier League.
The cause of the problem may be that Jackson is a little anxious. Against Luton, Jaxon was outflanked in front of goal this time to receive Raheem Sterling's cross and finally leave his name on the Premier League goals list.
Jacquesson has been feeling good in confrontation and at his feet since he arrived in the Premier League, and if he opens the goal book, he may be able to soar.
02. Chelsea's attacking trio: already in shape
a. Enzo passes, Jacquesson does the shaft, Sterling intersperses
After Kecedo's arrival in the team, Enzo's position can be moved to the front and given more offensive playmaking authority. Chelsea are very mobile up front, with Jaxon and Raheem Sterling both having a wide range of motion and speed, as well as good confrontations.
Enzo retreats and passes to Jacquesson, who acts as a fulcrum to take the ball, steer and split the ball, and Sterling's flanks are interspersed and sprinted, which can effectively tear apart the opposing defense.
Jacquesson can pick up the ball, turn fast, and divide the ball when dribbling, which makes for excellent tactical results. Especially Enzo's passing is good, Sterling's no-ball is fast, and the whole attack is straightened out.
It is clear from the camera that this time Enzo passed the ball to Jacquesson, who broke through with the ball and sent a pass to Sterling on the flank.
Raheem Sterling was very resolute in the box this time, smashing the ball directly past 2 defenders, but unfortunately his last left-footed shot was blocked by the defender.
B. Jacquesson has a touch of Drogba
Although Sterling scored 2 goals and 1 assist in a single game, Jacquesson's contribution to the game was not small, and even the limelight was not inferior to Sterling.
In particular, the ability to hold the ball when switching between attack and defense makes Jacson's tactical value even greater, and it also excites countless Chelsea fans.
This wave of attacking and defensive switching can be a good understanding of Chelsea's attacking trio, as well as the value of Raheem Sterling.
He retreated deep into the position and passed to Enzo, who made a long pass to Jaxon, and then Sterling cut back at high speed to fully hit Luton's defensive depths.
Enzo has a very beautiful escape after taking the ball, giving the ball more space to pass. The quality of this long pass is also good, and Jaxon's important position is even more exciting, allowing Sterling, who ran up in the opposite position, to get a single chance into the box.
Unfortunately, the first trip was a bit big, resulting in a smaller shooting angle. Forced a twist to shoot goal, but Sterling's explosiveness has declined a little with age, so he failed to play well.
03. Sterling's role: Switch between two forwards and wingers at any time
a. If Sterling shoots with feelings: who can prevent it
Raheem Sterling is a fantastic player, he is very good at running, holding the ball and being able to get on his feet. The problem is that when the opportunity arises, Sterling's shot is very erratic.
Whether or not you can prevent Raheem Sterling often depends not on the performance of the defender, but on his own shooting feeling.
This wave of opposing defense, Sterling seems to have no chance. There are three defenders in the ribs of the box, two pinched and one behind protection, but witnessed Sterling's Messi-style goal.
Sterling, who had the ball, attacked the box strongly, first took a quick step and then suddenly cut inside past two defenders. When the Luton Ton player behind him tried to clear, Sterling touched the ball one step ahead and then switched to a left-footed shot that hit the corner.
Such a wonderful goal is what occasionally happens to Raheem Sterling. From Liverpool, Manchester City to Chelsea, if you make a selection of goal highlights, Sterling is still very impressive.
Looking at Sterling's second goal, the key point was when he took the ball and turned to break through this one, instantly tearing apart the opponent's defense.
Although it was broken by the defender, when Gusto crossed on the wing, Sterling, who had already come to meet near the penalty spot in the middle, once again sent the ball into the bottom of the net.
b. Raheem Sterling's pass: It's actually pretty good
Believe it or not, the data site has to say: Sterling excels at "shooting and scoring" and passing. In fact, in terms of the shot/goal conversion ratio, Sterling is not bad, but the number of wasted absolute scoring opportunities is a bit much.
In contrast, Sterling's passing is still much more reliable than shooting, and there will be much fewer slots.
In this wave of counter-attacks, Jacqueson still advanced with the ball in the middle, and then distributed the ball to Sterling on the flank.
The quality of this cross was high, but the following Enzo Fernandez shot with his left foot and was saved by the goalkeeper.
Looking at this attack, Sterling pressed the box with the ball, and the timing and line landing of the cross were good.
Unfortunately, the follow-up Chilwell shot was blocked by the defender and failed to hit the goal.
Conclusion:
Before he knew it, Raheem Sterling was also 28 years old and Chelsea would be in his final prime. If he can guarantee the output of goals and assists, it could save the Blues more than $100 million in their recruitment budget.
After all, with Jacquesson opening his goal account and Enzo's passing feeling better and better, what Chelsea need is a two-striker. Sterling is clearly a more realistic choice than trusting Mudrick.
