Chelsea avoids the Brazilian semifinal between Palmeiras and Fluminense | Soccer | Sports

Pedro Neto honored in his individual presentation to his friends Diogo Jota and André Felipe. He paraded towards the center of the field with a flag on his shoulder in which the name of the two deceased brothers could be read. With the ball, Net also seemed to dedicate the game to both of the virguero with what was used in each action. When the referee pointed out the end of the game, Neto opened his arms and pointed to heaven to offer him the victory of the best Chelsea that has been seen in this Club World Cup.

The triumph of the London team prevents the semifinal that Brazil and South America dreamed between Fluminense and Palmeiras. Although lower, except in the stretch of the second half that the skilled Estevão achieved the matched one with a good goal, misfortune was primed with Abel Ferreira’s team. A Madueke center hit slightly in a Brazilian defender and Weverton swallowed a ball that was meek and meant the final 2-1 in the absence of ten minutes to the end.

The blow was hard and evokes Barbosa, the Brazilian goal of the Maracanazo. His penance for the goals of Schiaffino and Ghiggia was to be the gardener of the legendary coliseum for years. The slow -off reflexes of the goalkeeper who puts Europe to place three semifinalists. Fluminense will be the last club to defend pride and South America.

The Chelsea de Maresca started and finished the duel as a dominator, always led by Cole Palmer’s silk left. It is not causality that in the game that the fine interior offered a version with more consistency and continuity its team shaped its most convincing global performance. Maresca made him play more focused than usual to have more prominence with the ball and succeeded. Palmer opened the scoring with a filigree of his. He played with his waist to clean his marker on the front of the area and beat Weston with a satin and adjusted touch. A goal that gives the right to Guardiola when he admits that one of his great mistakes in his journey in the City was to let a talent of that caliber go.

It was Estevão the Palmeiras player who rebelled the most against the superiority of Chelsea. He found the prize for his efforts shortly after starting the second half. The boy received the ball on the right side of the area and with his bad leg he pulled out an angle without angle that he did not see and did not cover Robert Sánchez. Estevão’s goal had to hurt, but less to Chelsea’s fans. In the next hour its signing will be announced by the blues.

The Igualada did not dismantle Chelsea. Palmer continued to guide the offensive and net game adorning him with his dribbles. The Palmeiras, however, began to throw counterattacks who lacked precision. Until Weverton evoked Barbosa because the goal he fit was dramatic for him and his club.
