"Since I arrived, they keep getting better and better." — Potter hails two Chelsea stars after United draw.

 Potter has hailed two Chelsea stars who were crucial to our 1-1 draw against United on Saturday evening.

The Blues were back in Premier League action again after a goalless draw at Gtech Community stadium against Brentford and were looking to secure all three points against the Red Devils. 

A foul on Armando Broja saw a penalty awarded to the Blues which Jorginho converted to secure the opener for the Blues. Late into stoppage time, Casemiro secured the equalizer for the Devils and ended what would have been a win for Chelsea. 

Before the twist of events before the final results, two Chelsea players had been impressive and have been lauded by head coach, Graham Potter. Those players are Kepa Arrizabalaga and Trevoh Chalobah. 

Speaking in his post match briefing, per Football.London, Potter said of Kepa:

“He contributed again. I think as a team, we defended quite well and gave everything – the running power was there. The area we can do better is when we have the ball and attack ourselves. But at the same time, we were playing against an opponent in a good place. 

"So I’m pleased for Kepa that he can help us again; not so many massive chances but still he had a good game.”

Speaking of Trevoh Chalobah, he said: 

“I thought he was fantastic, got better and better, grew into the game. He is playing such a lot as well. It’s not easy with [Marcus] Rashford making runs in behind constantly, he’s got incredible pace. So I thought Trevoh did really well.”

Former Chelsea Doctor, Eva Caneiro set to make dazzling return to football with new role in the 2022 World Cup revealed.

 Remember Eva Caneiro? The former Chelsea Doctor? The Blues could be seeing her back in football action again, this time, in the World Cup.  One of the major incidents during Mourinho's second spell at Chelsea was the 'dismissal' of the club's Doctor, Eva Caneiro at the time.  Per GiveaMeSport, on the opening weekend of the 2015-16 Premier League campaign, Mourinho clashed with the then-Chelsea physio after she ran onto the pitch alongside colleague Jon Fearn to treat the injured Eden Hazard. Mourinho’s side were drawing 2-2 against Swansea City and the game had entered injury-time when the incident occurred. The revered Portuguese coach was furious with the medics, telling reporters afterwards: “I wasn’t happy with my medical staff because even if you are a medical doctor or secretary on the bench, you have to understand the game.” Mourinho felt that the medical intervention had affected his team’s chances of scoring a late winner and securing two more points.

 NoNI Madueke reveals he got his self-confidence from his Nigerian dad, while telling the story of his childhood, and his rise to football success.  Chelsea star, Noni Madueke has disclosed in an interview, the source of his self-confidence. Recall, Chelsea had signed Madueke from PSV Eindhoven in the just concluded transfer window.

The Chelsea starlet has never stopped speaking of how much he will come good for Chelsea, with goals, and his ambition to win big for the club.  That determination to succeed certainly seems to have served Madueke well during his early career and later as he forged his own path through the professional game which has now brought him to Stamford Bridge. In the winger’s opinion, it is something he has always possessed, and he considers it an...
