青年足總盃第四輪 https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2018/01/ youth-cup-report--chelsea-v-west-brom.html Youth Cup report: Chelsea 7 West Brom 0 Wed 17 Jan 2018 The quest for a record-equalling fifth consecutive FA Youth Cup continued in style for our Under-18s as they fired seven past West Brom without reply at Aldershot. Both Daishawn Redan and Callum Hudson-Odoi bagged braces, with the latter also adding three further assists as Jody Morris's side comfortably advanced into the fifth round. Marc Guehi's header had opened the scoring with just 10 minutes on the clock and it was 3-0 by half-time, though the Baggies did rattle the woodwork with the deficit at one. An inspired restart helped the hosts move into a six-goal lead by the hour mark, with Under-16 Tino Anjorin taking us to the half-dozen with his second goal in the competition this term, and Martell Taylor-Crossdale came off the bench to round off the scoring in stoppage time. The Blues were brilliant and the Baggies well beaten as the holders continue to set the standard. There were four changes from our third round victory against Scunthorpe United last month, with Ethan Ampadu making his fifth appearance for the senior side in the FA Cup against Norwich City, while Reece James was absent through injury. Morris did tinker with the shape as he utilised a 4-2-3-1 system and a back four of Tariq Lamptey, Jon Panzo, Juan Castillo and Guehi were selected to protect keeper Jamie Cumming's goal. Conor Gallagher, George McEachran and Tariq Uwakwe retained their midfield berths, with the latter more advanced to the right alongside schoolboy Tino Anjorin in the 'number 10' position and Hudson-Odoi operating from the left. Redan led the line up front. The contest was billed to be a more sterner challenge for the holders, with Morris warning ahead of the game that West Brom were possibly the toughest opponent we had faced in the early Youth Cup rounds for a number of years. Boosted with a number of Under-23 regulars, the Baggies were aiming to keep the shocks coming following third round exits for Manchester United, Everton and Manchester City. A frenetic start saw both sides open proceedings with energy and enthusiasm, particularly in the midfield battleground. Lamptey fashioned the first opportunity of the evening after advancing down the right and delivering an inviting cross for Redan, though our Dutch striker could not test Adam Przybek as he stretched behind to volley. It took eight minutes for Morris's men to break the deadlock against Scunthorpe and the wait for a goal in this tie was only marginally longer as a set-piece proved Albion's early undoing. Hudson-Odoi swung in a deep corner from the left and Guehi rose highest at the back post, powering his header into the far corner despite the last-ditch efforts of Nick Clayton-Phillips in trying to clear off the line. An early cushion set the scene for the hosts to assert their authority and carve out chances. Castillo's low strike from the edge of the box would have troubled Przybek had the effort not been unintentionally blocked by Anjorin, while Guehi repeated his set-piece trick to spin into space again after 15 minutes, though this header was straight at Albion's Welsh stopper. Hudson-Odoi had proved a menace in his last match action, our weekend 5-0 victory at Sunderland in Premier League 2 in which he netted a hat-trick, and he continued his eye-catching form in this contest. The 17-year-old almost scored an audacious goal from distance after striking at the unguarded goal from 35 yards out with Przybek chasing a loose ball on the left, though the goalkeeper recovered just in time to make a flying save. The visiting keeper was proving to be one of the busiest on the field and he made another impressive intervention midway through the first period to keep the deficit at one, tipping Hudson-Odoi's shot over after the forward had aimed a stinging drive towards the top corner. Redan then missed the target after Hudson-Odoi had turned provider from the left byline, though it was not all one-way traffic as West Brom showed with two decent chances around the half-hour mark. Their best effort came through Rekeem Harper, who skipped away from two tackles before firing against the angle of post and crossbar from the right. Skipper Nathan Ferguson then headed off-target before Clayton-Phillips forced Cumming into a smart stop at his near post. Our unrivalled recent Youth Cup record makes the importance of converting such opportunities so vital and the visitors were left to rue what might have been as two goals in three minutes dented their ambitions. Hudson-Odoi doubled our advantage with 32 minutes on the clock with another goal of individual magic, driving infield from the left wing and riding challenges before unleashing a precise low shot into the bottom far corner. The England Under-17 World Cup winner then claimed a second assist as he combined neatly with Redan after the striker had accelerated into space down the left. It was a disguised pass from the former that created the sight at goal and Redan provided an accomplished finish with the outside of his right boot to beat the onrushing keeper. It could have been worse for the Baggies before the break as Uwakwe was thwarted, the midfielder's near-post strike kept out by an expert reaction stop from Przybek. Callum Morton then went close to reducing the arrears as he fired across goal but narrowly steered his shot beyond the far post. Three goals in 45 minutes was a terrific return for our youngsters but their emergence for the second half brought even more impressive returns as another three were scored in the opening quarter of an hour. Hudson-Odoi signalled a warning with a strike just a whisker wide before Lamptey stepped up to take on a starring role on the opposite flank. The full-back moved into space and rolled a teasing low ball into the box for Redan to turn in from close range. There was to be no let-up from the blistering Blues, whose free-flowing performance and clinical edge in front of goal was sending a signal of intent to those pretenders to their crown. Hudson-Odoi made it eight goals in his last five appearances seven minutes into the second period, exchanging a short corner with Uwakwe before placing a perfect finish into the far corner despite the narrowing angle. This was a team made in Chelsea, with nine of the starters registered at our Academy since the Under-9 age group, the earliest a young player can sign. After netting in the last round, schoolboy midfielder Anjorin made it two in two on the hour mark. Hudson-Odoi provided the delivery with a left-sided free-kick and the 16-year-old stole in to head beyond Przybek. Following a frenzied hour of goalscoring and penalty-box action, the final 30 minutes were far less eventful by comparison. Gallagher sliced a shot wide and Przybek saved from Hudson-Odoi then Castillo's curler as our determined defence of the trophy remained on course. As the fourth official signalled five additional minutes, it allowed just about enough time for substitute Taylor-Crossdale to get in on the goalscoring act, the striker volleying in from Castillo's centre. The 7-0 final scoreline was our biggest margin of victory in the competition for 20 years and our first seven-goal haul since a 7-1 win against Tottenham in the semi-final last campaign. It will be Spurs next for Morris's men in the fifth round as we travel away for the first time this term. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2018/01/ youth-cup-reaction--scintillating-but-stable.html Youth Cup reaction: Scintillating but stable Thu 18 Jan 2018 It was a combination of composure, clinical finishing and intelligence out of possession that helped our Under-18s beat the Baggies and emphatically advance into the FA Youth Cup fifth round. Aldershot played host as both Callum Hudson-Odoi and Daishawn Redan bagged braces in between headers from Marc Guehi and Tino Anjorin, while Martell Taylor-Crossdale came off the bench to complete the scoring in stoppage time as West Brom were beaten 7-0. It was our biggest victory in the competition for 20 years and manager Jody Morris had words of praise for how his side displayed quality throughout the pitch. 'I was particularly pleased with how we nullified their attacking threat because West Brom are a dangerous team going forward,' Morris told the official Chelsea website after the game. 'A lot of the video we watched beforehand showed them playing some really good football so a huge amount of credit should go to George McEachran and Conor Gallagher for plugging gaps, screening their front players and winning second balls. 'We wanted to be more stable in possession and move them about with our passing to get defenders isolated in one-on-one areas and that worked really well. There was a good combination of some excellent attacking play with stability off the ball and taking up good counter-pressing positions so whenever we lost possession we could recover quickly and that was a really pleasing element for us.' The Blues were 3-0 up by half-time and added a further three goals in the opening 15 minutes of the second period during a blistering attacking display. 'We were really good going forward and showed lovely bits of link-up play down both wings, with Juan Castillo and Callum down the left and Tariq Lamptey with Tariq Uwakwe down the right,' continued Morris. 'The fact we had five different scorers was testament to the type of attacking football we were playing because we looked a threat from set-pieces, on the counter-attack and in isolated areas with individual brilliance. The way we moved the ball about was fantastic and Daishawn's second goal was brilliantly worked so it was no surprise the amount of players that got on the scoresheet with the way we played.' Hudson-Odoi was involved in five goals last night following a hat-trick for our development squad at the weekend as he continued his impressive recent individual form. Antonio Conte described the 17-year-old as 'a very interesting player with good potential' earlier in the week and Morris echoed that sentiment, while also vowing to eke out the maximum from his teenage forward. 'Callum has the ability to play at any level he wants but he's still got things to learn,' he noted. 'He needs to develop more of a cut-throat mentality so when he realises he's got the better of the full-back, which will happen a lot because he's a very gifted player going forward, he is ruthless. I will get on his case because when you have a player of his natural talent, it would be silly not to try to squeeze the most out of him.' The holders and eight-time winners will be one of just four Premier League sides competing in the last-16 following a campaign of early shocks and knockouts. They will travel to Tottenham in round five for a repeat of last term's semi-final, in which Morris's men triumphed 9-2 on aggregate, though the manager believes the dynamics will be very different in a one-legged tie away from home. 'It will be a massive challenge for us. Whenever we've played Spurs before in this competition in recent years it's been over two legs so to go away from home in a one-off tie to play against a really good team will be tough. At the same time, they will know how difficult we are to beat and if we perform like we did against West Brom, I'll be quite confident.'
