Chosen Son! Chelsea qualifies for the second time but enters the semi-finals, avoiding the four powerful enemies

A focus battle in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup ended not long ago. Chelsea, one of the favorites to win the championship, did not let the unpopularity appear. They defeated the Brazilian League team Palmeiras 2-1, reached the semi-finals with their heads held high and continued to move towards the goal of winning the championship!

In fact, before the start of the Club World Cup, not many fans were optimistic about Chelsea, because in the Premier League last season, the Blues' performance was not stable. It was not until the last round of the league that they narrowly entered the top four and received a ticket to the Champions League. In the group stage, Chelsea's performance can only be said to be unsatisfactory. As a seed team in Group D, they lost to Flamengo in an upset and declared that they missed the first place in the group one round in advance. Fortunately, in the last round, facing the African team Tunisia Hope, the Blues did not make any mistakes. After defeating their opponents 3-0, they finally broke through with the second place in the group and entered the knockout round.

But what all fans did not expect was that Chelsea failed to win the first place in the group, but instead won a "high sign" in the knockout round. They successfully avoided the two favorites in the championship, Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain, and went to the upper half with a slightly less competitive level. In the first round of the knockout round, Chelsea defeated their opponent 4-1 through overtime, and reached the quarterfinals without any danger, successfully meeting with the dark horse team Palmeiras in the quarter-finals.

Because his paper strength completely crushed his opponent, Chelsea firmly controlled the initiative on the field as soon as the game started. In the 16th minute, Chaloba made a direct pass to find Palmer. The latter shook the shooting angle at the front of the penalty area and decisively took the ball. The ball flew into the net against the goalkeeper's fingertips, 1-0! Chelsea took the lead in breaking the deadlock and took the lead in the score! In the subsequent games, Chelsea created several more good opportunities to score, but none of them could be converted into goals. They could only return to the locker room with the advantage of 1 goal.

The side changes again, and the Palmeiras team, who is unwilling to fall behind, launched a counterattack. In the 53rd minute, the 18-year-old young player Estewan received a cross from Rios in the penalty area, and shot at an almost zero angle. The ball hit the bottom of the crossbar and bounced into the goal. Palmeiras successfully tied the score! In the 83rd minute, taking advantage of a corner kick offensive opportunity, Chelsea made a clever cooperation in the frontcourt, Enzo gave a straight pass, and Gusto chose to pass the ball horizontally after getting the ball. Originally, the ball was not threatening, but Palmeiras' defensive player Jai stretched out a kick, causing the ball to change the line and flew into his own goal. In the end, with the own gift from the opponent, Chelsea defeated Palmeiras 2-1 and successfully reached the semi-finals. After winning this game, Chelsea's total prize money in this Club World Cup has exceeded $70 million, which is enough for them to introduce another strong new player in the summer transfer window. In the next semi-finals, Chelsea's opponent will be another Brazilian League team, Fruminense, who advanced to the surprise. Before this, the other two seed teams in the first half of the zone, Manchester City and Inter Milan were both eliminated. In other words, Chelsea avoided the four favorites to win the championship in the process of advancing, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are the "son of choice"!

Judging from the strength on paper, as long as Chelsea performs normally, it should not be difficult to advance. For them, the real test will only come in the finals!
