YOUTH TEAM REPORT: CHELSEA 1 SOUTHAMPTON 3
Posted on: Sat 18 Feb 2012
Chelsea's Under 18s were beaten 3-1 at home by Southampton at Cobham in a
game which saw us fail to recover from a devastating opening ten minute
spell in which we conceded three times, and while our performance improved
as the game wore on, we had given ourselves too much of a mountain to
climb.
Following 120 minutes of action against West Ham United in the midweek FA
Youth Cup clash, and with one eye on Wednesday's quarter-final tie against
Nottingham Forest, Adi Viveash made ten changes to the side which started
the victory against the Hammers, with only Anjur Osmanovic retaining his
place.
Southampton took the lead in the fifth minute when an inswinging free-kick
from the right-hand side was headed home following some sloppy defensive
play.
Two minutes later and the visitors doubled their advantage when we
conceded a free-kick on the edge of our own box. Luke Shaw stepped up and,
to his credit, bent a sublime strike beyond the despairing dive of Beeney
to leave the home side stunned.
A dreadful start by the Blues turned into a nightmare a minute later when
the Saints poured forward looking to put the game out of reach, and as the
ball broke to Calum Chambers inside the box he fired past Beeney to send
the visiting supporters into dreamland.
It was a time for cool Chelsea heads as we looked to recompose and steady
the ship, and gradually we began to get a foothold in the match.
Ismail Seremba had what looked like a legitimate penalty appeal waved
away, while Archange Nkumu blazed over from the just outside the penalty
area when he should really have at least tested Will Britt in the Saints'
goal.
The Blues dominated the remainder of the first half in terms of possession
without looking like scoring, although Seremba wasted our best chance
shortly before the break when he shot straight at Britt when clean through
on goal.
Osmanovic was replaced at half time by Fankaty Dabo, while both George
Cole and Walter Figueira were given a taste of the action with over
half-an-hour remaining, at the expense of Nortey Nortei and Seremba
respectively.
We were handed a lifeline in the 74th minute when Reece Mitchell worked
his way into the Southampton penalty area with some neat footwork before
being brought down by Britt, leaving the referee with no option but to
point to the spot.
Tom Howard was the man entrusted with taking the kick, and he confidently
sent the keeper the wrong way to set up a tense finish.
After such a disappointing start to the game, Viveash's side, to their
credit, responded well, particularly given the change in personnel, and
their attitude and desire certainly couldn't be called into question.
As we pressed forward in the closing stages looking to score a second,
there were inevitably gaps left open at the back, and Joe Curtis almost
put the game to bed for the visitors but he could only direct his header
straight into the arms of Beeney, before the referee sounded the final
whistle to cap a disappointing day.

當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中，
在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離
幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如
萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花
朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺
流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。
