Why ninth in the league: this time the case has been solved
On April 16, Beijing time, in the 33rd round of the English Premier League, Chelsea defeated Everton 6-0 at home. In the game, Madueke's point-grabbing behavior caused a skirmish on the field, and the uncle talked about the ball and exchanged three points with everyone.
One is to finally know why Chelsea are not doing well. At the end of the game, Chelsea remained ninth in the league with 47 points, three points clear of the top six. The reason for their unsatisfactory results is probably an important aspect of dressing room management. Such a blatant scramble for free throws is ridiculous and generous, and it also reflects the head coach's lax governance of the army. Discipline is the only way to be invincible, and it is difficult to achieve good results in such management.
The second is that Palmer is surprisingly calm. In this game, Palmer played bravely, scoring a hat-trick in the first half, scoring 19 goals. Palmer completed his quadruple after scoring a penalty in the second half, and he was tied with Erling Haaland for the top scorer. At the age of 21, his 20 goals and 9 assists in the season are impressive.
The third is that Madueke's brain is really not enough. He believes that he created the penalty, and the truth is that the referee awarded the penalty to Palmer, who fell to the ground in the penalty area first. He clung to the ball and hoped he would be able to take the penalty. But according to the practice and division of responsibilities within the Chelsea squad, Palmer is the number one penalty taker. What's more, Palmer is catching up with Erling Haaland for the top scorer at this time.
As a result, the two sides got into an argument and Jackson came to grab the ball, but captain Conor Gallagher noticed and quickly intervened, snatching the ball to Palmer for the penalty and pushing away the other players who were trying to fight for the penalty. In the end, Palmer withstood the pressure and managed to convert the penalty.
It is worth mentioning that in the previous FA Cup Chelsea 4-2 Leicester City match, Palmer conceded a penalty to Raheem Sterling, and then Sterling missed it. This time Palmer didn't concede again.
Speaking after the game, manager Mauricio Pochettino was critical of the infighting, arguing that it should not have happened in a team like Chelsea. The act of snatching a penalty reveals a number of potential problems. Madueke's penalty-grabbing behaviour was a signal. It's up to Chelsea to respond and deal with it appropriately.
