BBC praises Chelsea: We have never seen any team beat Paris Saint-Germain like this

"I can't believe my eyes."

In fact, few people can believe it.

Paris Saint-Germain has been incredible throughout the season, from securing the Ligue 1 championship in early April to defeating Inter Milan by one-sidedly in the Champions League final.

Their performance in the Club World Cup was not much worse. First, nine people defeated Bayern Munich, and then defeated Real Madrid 4-0, and advanced to Sunday's final.

However, it was generally believed that Paris Saint-Germain would easily defeat Chelsea in New Jersey, but this time, Paris Saint-Germain was shocked.

Even before the colorful midfield show of Coldplay began, Cole Palmer scored two great goals and assisted Joao Pedro to get another goal, helping the Blues lead 3-0. The game ended with this score.

"I've never seen Paris Saint-Germain make so many mistakes in the first half," former England midfielder Andros Townsend said on Dazn.

"Chelsea are actively fighting in the hot weather in New York, and this spirit is commendable."

is also the amazement at the beginning of this article. He could not believe what happened at the Mets Life Stadium. People are generally shocked.

As another commentator Gareth Bale said, "Parissa Germain has been defeated by the Paris Saint-Germain-style performance."

So how did Enzo Maresca's team do it? And how strong is Chelsea?

Palmer performed well, and the Blues staged a "tactical master class"

As often seen in the past two years, Palmer's performance meant that Chelsea's overall performance was excellent.

The 23-year-old has been mostly in the middle for the traditional No. 10 position this season, but sometimes he struggles in that position. He has failed to score in 18 consecutive games and recently admitted that he has experienced "hard times" in the past few months, both on and off the court.

However, in this tournament, he was re-arranged to the right - he had shined in this position while coaching former coach Mauricio Pochettino - now his performance is close to his peak again.

Chelsea obviously prioritized a quick start in the final, and Maresca said he believes that "the game was decided in the first 10 minutes", and their proactive play and high-pressure puts opponents under unprecedented pressure.

Maresca said: "Our idea is to be one-on-one marking because if you leave room for Paris Saint-Germain, they will knock you down, so we tried to be very proactive from the beginning and curb them as early as possible. This intensity is crucial in the first 10 minutes."

After Chelsea established its advantage, it was obviously interested in targeting Paris Saint-Germain's left, with João Pedro frequently pulling the edge with Palmer.

Their tactics are often straightforward, sending the ball behind the Paris Saint-Germain's defense with a long pass, but this has left back Nuno Mendes suffered.

Maresca said: "We have gained a lot in exploring their left defense. Everything has been going very well due to the efforts of the players."

Townsend called it a "tactic master class."

"That's what they do - they pulled the Paris Saint-Germain's defense, and we've never seen a team do that with them," added former Chelsea midfielder Mikel.

"We attach no less importance to this event than the Champions League...and maybe even more." There has been many debates on what this newly expanded competition means.

But this trophy does mean you can call yourself a world champion – until the next event, which is scheduled for 2029. And Chelsea will be able to wear a badge on their jersey to demonstrate that honor.

It also brings bonuses worth between £80 million and £90 million.

Townsend said: "For the next four years, fans will have the capital to brag."

For the players and coaching staff, there is no doubt that their enthusiasm for celebrating this victory is no less than winning the Champions League or Premier League trophy. After the game, their players clashed with Paris Saint-Germain on the court, the French champions were obviously dissatisfied with the loss, while Blues coach Maresca played the role of peacemaker.

"I think this game is as important as the Champions League, or even more important than the Champions League," Maresca said.

"Three years ago, I was fortunate to be a member of Manchester City's coaching staff and won the Champions League, but this event brought together the world's top clubs. That's why we value it no less than the Champions League, and maybe even more."

"For us, this is a huge victory. It makes us feel extremely proud to have Chelsea fans wear that world championship badge on their jerseys."

Palmer added: "This feeling is great. What's even better is that everyone was not optimistic about us before the game, and we know that it is in our hearts. It feels good to have a fight like this."

A declared victory - also a harbinger of future team trends?

Since Todd Boley took over Chelsea in 2022, the team has invested nearly £1.5 billion in signings and has signed a large number of contracts for seven, eight or nine years, which many people scoffed at.

18 months ago, Gary Neville called them "a parallel to £1 billion" after they lost to Liverpool in the League Cup final.

But after winning the UEFA Cup and the Club World Cup trophy this year, they actually look pretty good. Their roster in the Club World Cup is the youngest of all participating teams, with no player over 27 years old. So they should just get better.

So can they consider competing for the Premier League title now?

Welsh legend Gareth Bale said while watching the game on Dazn platform: "I think they are not far from [winning the championship]. Before Christmas last season, everyone was talking about them being a strong contender."

Apparently they are a young team and lost this time, but I think they will learn a lot from this experience. They showed strong resilience, first winning the UEFA Cup, and now they have achieved such results. Self-confidence will burst - they must have full confidence now.

BBC sports reporter Nizar Kingsla was watching the game at the MetLife Stadium, saying: "Chelsea firmly supports Maresca, which is 3 since 2022 The club has shown a stable trend for the first time since the British government imposed sanctions on Roman Abramovich after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war. "

"This is a new club - but has the ability to win the championship again - and the relevant personnel of the club hope that their achievements will be recognized."

"Moises Kesédo and Enzo Fernandez should be regarded as the world's top midfielders. Kukurelia may be the best left-back in the Premier League and even the world football. "

"Livi Ko Rookie players like Erwell, Marlo Gustou and Andre Santos are emerging and showing great potential. "

" Joao Pedro scored three goals in three Club World Cup games, which is crucial to Chelsea's success in the event, and the forward Liam Drapp, who joined the team, has also performed very actively in the United States. "

" Another new player, Jamie Gittens, has not yet joined from Dortmund, and Palmeiras's junior genius Estevan William will be Come to pre-season training in August. ”
