Only 1 goal was conceded in 3 rounds! Chelsea s defensive transformation, Youth Training Treasures securely starts

Chelsea defeated their city rival Fulham 2-0 at Stamford Bridge Stadium, continuing to maintain an unbeaten record of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Maresca's team currently has 7 points in the Premier League and is currently at the top of the list. Previously, they drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace and defeated West Ham United 5-1 last weekend.

The Blues performed well at home, controlled the rhythm of the game, limiting Marco Silva's team to only three shots on the court. However, for the Italians, the game is not all good news, with forward Drapp being substituted for a hamstring injury within 15 minutes of the game and expected to miss eight weeks. This victory has allowed many players to show great form again, and it is expected to lock in a main position ahead of schedule on the club's road to winning the Premier League championship.

Chelsea has signed up for many players in the past two years, and Maresca has been looking for a main lineup that can lead the team to success. In recent transfer windows, the club has invested hundreds of millions of pounds and spent more than 200 million pounds this summer. Pedro, who scored this game, is one of them. After joining the team, Pedro has scored 5 goals and provided 2 assists in 6 official games. Now, he has become the sharpest sharp knife on the Blues' offensive end!

In addition to outstanding offensive performance, the Blues also had surprises on the defensive end. In the past few years, Chelsea's youth training camp has also cultivated a lot of talents, and they can also play a key role in the first team. Central defender Charoba is the representative of youth training and has now become a key member of the Maresca team. He started three consecutive games in the new season - although he once made it to the team's roster a year ago and was loaned to Crystal Palace.

In this game, Chaloba's starting performance was unforgettable, helping the team to score zero. The 26-year-old central defender completed five steals in the game and won 11 confrontations, with both statistics at the highest level in the game, showing dominance on the defensive end. In terms of ball control, he is also excellent. He touched the ball 80 times in the game, with a pass success rate of 90%, and 5 of which were directly sent to the opponent's third zone.

Chelsea conceded only 1 goal in the past three rounds of games, and their defensive performance was excellent. This is inseparable from the organization and dispatch of Chaloba in the central defender position. Such an outstanding performance undoubtedly allowed him to firmly take the team's starting position and form an excellent partner of the Blues in the central defender position with Tosin. And the new player Jorell Harto was pressed on the bench by him in the summer window. The youth training graduate completed a counterattack with his own efforts and performance, becoming one of the players Maresca trusted most on the back line.
