The Premier League Dark Horse is out for 5, the boss is full of displeasure, Chelsea returns to the Champions League

The final round of the Premier League is coming to an end. Although Liverpool has won the championship early, many giants compete for the top five, fighting for the Champions League qualification next season. Before the start of this round, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest, the five teams competed for the last three seats. Since Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa scored 66 points together, but Villa fell behind in goal difference, so as long as Chelsea and Newcastle United win, they will definitely lock in the top five.

For Nottingham Forest, it is temporarily ranked 7th because it is one point less in points. To advance to the top five, you must win against Chelsea, and you must also rely on Newcastle or Villa to lose points. Therefore, this battle with Chelsea is a desperate battle.

The whole game, the two teams were tense. Although Nottingham Forest would rather win the game, Colewell's goal in the second half shattered his dream of entering the Champions League. At the end of the game, Nottingham Forest lost to Chelsea 0:1 and said goodbye to this season.

First half: Neto and Wood each missed the opportunity

From the beginning of the game, the two teams started a tense battle. In the 8th minute, Nottingham Forest made a simple pass, Dominguez made a wonderful pass through Chelsea's defense, and Ena made a cross-bow through the penalty area, but was blocked by Colewell! The team attacked fiercely and tried to suppress the game at the beginning was very obvious. In the 22nd minute, Ellanga and Ener made continuous crosses on the right side, and the role of Wood's center forward was fully demonstrated! Chelsea's penalty area was in panic for a moment.

In the 28th minute, Murillo directly knocked down Enzo in the defense at the front of the penalty area! Chelsea got a very good set piece, which also gave the team a chance to breathe. Then Maduaike made a straight pass, and Palmer sent a precise cross. Neto was wasted in vain when facing the scoring opportunity that was close to him! In the 43rd minute, Nottingham Forest launched a fast counterattack, and Einer made a 45-degree cross, and Wood's shot missed the post! At the end of the half game, the two teams temporarily fought to 0:0.

Halftime Comments

Although both teams are striving to defeat their opponents, they don't create many absolute opportunities.

Nottingham Forest can only have the hope of winning the top five, so from the beginning of the game, the team's intention to start the game is very obvious. However, after more than ten minutes of attack, as Chelsea adapted, the two teams gradually formed a stalemate. The most impressive point in the first half was Nottingham Forest's right offensive. Ellanga, Ena and Dominguez cooperated continuously and almost broke through Chelsea's left defense! It is difficult to limit the penetration of opponents, whether it is Palmer or Kukurelia. Nottingham Forest also took advantage of this side and kept crossing. The high center forward Wood in the penalty area caused great trouble to Chelsea's defense. During this period of

, we must actively make adjustments to Nottingham Forest. After all, the team needs to win, so when the team comes back from halftime, they must have to attack with all their might, break the deadlock on the court as soon as possible, and get the initiative in the game. While head coach Nuno continues to be strong, he will inevitably fine-tune the personnel in all positions! Like Odoi and Yates, exactly when will they play?

Second half: Colewell won with one blow

Only five minutes after the midfield came back, Chelsea took advantage of the corner kick to get the chance to attack continuously. Neto headed the ball and shot like a pass. After passing the goalkeeper, Colewell, who was inserted into the back point, pushed the ball into the empty goal, 0:1! Nottingham Forest, who plays at home, is behind! The balance was broken and the Forest team, which was forced into a desperate situation, had to speed up the pace and attack with all their strength, and quickly replaced Odoi, forming two wings flying together. In the 67th minute, Dominguez was injured and Yates was in an emergency. However, it is obvious that after conceding the ball, Nottingham Forest's momentum has changed significantly. Most players seem frustrated, many of the passes are not of high quality and have made many low-level mistakes. After Chelsea got the ball, they calmed down the situation and slowed down the pace of the game, and gradually changed the formation to 541. In the 4th minute of stoppage time, the goalkeeper accurately dangled the ball into the penalty area. Wood missed it again in the face of a good opportunity that was so close! At the end of the game, Chelsea won the victory with Colewell's goal.

Summary after the game

First of all, I would like to congratulate Chelsea on winning the game. In the final ranking, he ranked fourth in the Champions League next season. After the game, whether it is the head coach or the players, the crazy celebration is enough to feel the joy in everyone's heart.

Secondly, for Nottingham Forest, the team looked very frustrated when they lost the game. The camera gave the team's boss Marinakis many times. The boss seemed very dissatisfied with the team's performance and looked frustrated. After the game, I found the head coach again, expressing some misunderstandings and doubts, which is very sad.

In fact, Nottingham Forest's overall performance this season has been very good. From their previous relegation status, they became the biggest dark horse in the Premier League this season, competing for a seat in the Champions League with several traditional giants.

After the whole season, the team once reached the second and third positions, and the fighting spirit shown by everyone has won the recognition of fans. Although he did not get a seat in the Champions League, the team has qualified for the European Union play-offs and can also participate in the European game.

Finally, Nottingham Forest still has a long time to go if it wants to transform into a real wealthy strongman. Excellence in a season does not mean too much. Just like the match between Chelsea in this game, after the team concedes the ball, the team has obvious mental problems, which makes the team more impatient and make continuous mistakes. As a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League, Chelsea seems calm after taking the lead. These are what Nottingham Forest needs to learn.

In addition, the team has experienced various ups and downs in the long season and has gained corresponding valuable experience. For example, from the beginning of the season until before April, the team was almost smooth sailing. But in April, a series of setbacks caused the team's record to plummet, and at the same time, they gave up the initiative to compete for the Champions League qualification. These are the places where management, coaching staff and players should reflect after the season is over.

is also what the boss Marinakis needs to understand! The team has indeed put in a lot of energy and financial resources this season, but if it does not make any effort, it will definitely pay off. It also requires experience and time to settle down. What's more, Not to mention that Nottingham Forest is already excellent enough this season.
