John Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and Kenneth Omeruo will now face Mali on Wednesday after seeing off the threat of former Chelsea team-mates Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou, not to mention current Premier League rivals the Toure brothers and Arsenal's Gervinho. All three completed the 90 minutes, with Moses in particular a constant menace to the Ivory Coast defence following his match-winning penalties against Ethiopia in their previous game. Like that game earlier in the week, the winger was given the responsibility of set-pieces, and regularly delivered accurately. Early on Ideye Brown headed his free-kick high and shortly afterwards he stung the palms of Ivory Coast goalkeeper Boubacar Barry with a vicious drive. Omeruo had the unenviable task of marking Drogba, but kept the striker largely quiet for a man Chelsea fans are so used to seeing so much from. He did wriggle free once in the first half but shot off target, shortly before Emmanuel Emenike gave the Nigerians with a fizzing drive from a free-kick, with which Barry should have done far better. Just into the second half Kalou was booked for taking a tumble inside the Nigeria box, but his side were soon level when Drogba was fouled on the edge of the box and his cross was turned home by Newcastle's Cheik Tiote. Brown headed another Moses corner wide as Nigeria reacted well to the leveller, and they went back in front 12 minutes from time when midfielder Sunday Mba drove deep into Ivory Coast territory before pulling the trigger and seeing his shot loop up off the backside of Sol Bamba and over Barry into the net. In injury time Drogba headed Ivory Coast's final chance over at a free-kick, and the Super Eagles were through to the last four. They have so far improved as the tournament has progressed. It means Chelsea will be without two important figures for a little longer, but without a victory in the tournament since 1994, we can only wish them well. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3066440/ INTERNATIONALS: UNBEATEN BLUES Posted on: Tue 05 Feb 2013 Both Josh McEachran and Nathaniel Chalobah took part in England Under-21s' convincing friendly win over Sweden Under-21s on Tuesday evening. Both played in midfield with Chalobah replacing McEachran with two-thirds of the game played. On a rainy night and on a soft pitch in Walsall, England were still able to impress in a 4-0 victory over a young Sweden side. Blackpool's Thomas Ince and Liverpool's Jonjo Shelvey put the home side 2-0 up, both with close-range finishes, before England won a penalty which McEachran took. It was saved but Ince followed up to score. Three-nil was the score when Chalobah came on, following his England Youth Player of the Year award this week with his second cap at this level. Sunderland's Connor Wickham completed the scoring with a header. McEachran made his 10th England Under-21 appearance. There was also a win for England over Scandinavian opposition at Under-19 level. They beat Demark 3-1 in Doncaster. Chelsea representation was Lewis Baker who came on with 67 minutes played and all the goals scored. Patrick van Aanholt and Jeffrey Bruma were involved as Netherlands Under-21s came from 1-0 behind to win 3-2 away to Croatia. Van Aanholt played the full game at left-back with Bruma coming on at half-time with the score 1-1. Thorgan Hazard was a half-time substitute for Belgium Under-21s at home to Spain. The score was 1-1 at the time and that was the final score too. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3067130/ NIGERIAN TRIO INTO AFRICAN FINAL Posted on: Wed 06 Feb 2013 John Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and Kenneth Omeruo have helped Nigeria through to their first African Cup of Nations final since 2000, with a 4-1 win over Mali in the semis in Durban on Wednesday. They will now face Burkina Faso in Sunday's final after Ghana lost on penalties in the other semi-final. The Super Eagles were the better side throughout in their game, and took full control of the game well before half-time, establishing a 3-0 lead before the break, meaning they will be in confident mood whoever they face at the final hurdle. Once again, all three Blues were prominent, with Moses creating the first goal before being substituted as a precaution early in the second half. Fourteen minutes in Mikel's long ball into the box found Emmanuel Emenike, whose shot was well saved by the goalkeeper before Moses saw his follow-up deflected behind. Shortly afterwards it was Mikel himself going close, half-volleying just wide from well outside the area, and it would not be long before Nigeria went in front. Moses was the creator, outfoxing his marker with a nutmeg down the right before crossing between the goalkeeper and defence to pick out Uwa Echiejile at the far post, allowing him a simple header into the net. The lead was doubled just before the 30-minute mark with Moses again involved, supplying the pass to release Emenike down the wing, and he squared for Brown Ideye to convert. A minute before half-time Emenike's free-kick, laid off to him by Mikel, was deflected past the Mali goalkeeper to make it 3-0, and set the Nigerians up for their first final appearance in 13 years. Moses was forced off with a knock to the foot just into the second half, but that didn't stop Nigeria from looking for more goals, and on the hour mark another rangy Mikel pass set Ahmed Musa beyond the hapless Mali defence, and he slotted home through the goalkeeper's legs to make it four. The same player thought he had scored a fifth a moment later but the referee ruled it out for offside, and then at the other end Nigerian keeper Vincent Enyeama made a superb one-handed save after a mix-up between Omeruo and his defensive partner. The Malians would get their consolation though, when substitute Cheik Diarra turned home from close range, but the only side celebrating afterwards was Nigeria. Now, it is on to Sunday's final. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3067358/ INTERNATIONALS: AZPILICUETA CAPPED ON NIGHT OF VICTORIES Posted on: Wed 06 Feb 2013 As well as the England v Brazil match, there were other Chelsea players in friendly action on Wednesday with plenty of success enjoyed. Cesar Azpilicueta played the full match on the occasion of his debut for Spain, and celebrated with a 3-1 win against Uruguay in a match played in Qatar. It was a solid game too for the 23-year-old who intervened to prevent chances for both Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez. Juan Mata also started and played the first half before being replaced by David Villa. It was Mata who supplied Cesc Fabregas for an early opening goal, struck from distance. Barcelona's Pedro scored twice in the second half. Eden Hazard was on-target with a 10th-minute penalty for Belgium at home to Slovakia. Kevin De Bruyne also started the match and Romelu Lukaku came on at half-time. The Belgians, who had dominated with Hazard much-involved, looked to have let the win slip when the away side equalised in the 87th minute but there was still time for a winner from PSV Eindhoven's Dries Mertens. Thibaut Courtois was an unused sub. Branislav Ivanovic played the first half of Serbia's 3-1 win away in Cyprus. The score was 1-1 at the interval. Tomas Kalas remained an unused sub for Czech Republic who without injured Petr Cech still kept a clean sheet in a 2-0 away win in Turkey. At Under-19 level, Nathan Ake scored a 75th-minute winner from a corner for the Netherlands at home to Scotland. The match ended 2-1. Islam Feruz played the first hour in attack for the Scots and hit the post, with Alex Davey introduced at half-time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3067332/ COLE - 100 NOT OUT Posted on: Wed 06 Feb 2013 Ashley Cole played the first 45 minutes of England's 2-1 win over Brazil on Wednesday night and in doing so, made his 100th appearance for his country. Frank Lampard struck the winning goal. Everyone at Chelsea Football Club congratulates Cole on his momentous achievement. The 32-year-old started all 100 of those games, 48 have been as a Chelsea player, and as a defender he can take satisfaction in England having kept a clean sheet before half-time at Wembley tonight when he was substituted. He joins six other centurions - Peter Shilton (125), David Beckham (115), Bobby Moore (108), Bobby Charlton (106), Billy Wright (105) and Steven Gerrard (101). Cole said before the game about the milestone: 'It is a very proud moment for me and my family. 'I'd like to say I've been consistent for 12 years playing for England. I've gone through a few managers but to have always been in the squads and played and gone to tournaments makes you realise that you have done a good job for your clubs as well.' He recalled his debut in a World Cup qualifier away in Albania in March 2001. 'I was a little bit nervous but I had trained and played and worked hard to get to where I want to be. To get that England call-up and to get my first game was a dream come true and I didn't want it to stop there.' Cole was one of two Chelsea starters for the home side against Brazil. Gary Cahill was also part of the defence, winning his 13th cap. All three of Chelsea's Brazilians began the game. David Luiz was passed fit after a recent calf injury and was captain. Ramires played in a deep role with Oscar more attacking, predominantly on the right which brought him into direct contest with Cole. Cahill was called upon to execute a well-judged sliding tackle on Neymar inside the area early on, and the Chelsea man again dealt with Neymar soon after as an Oscar pass threatened to send the Santos striker through. Oscar shot off-target soon after. Brazil won a 17th-minute penalty for handball by Jack Wilshere but both it and the follow-up shot were saved by Joe Hart. Danny Welbeck missed a chance and Cole tried a rare shot from distance before England took the lead on 25 minutes. Theo Walcott had a shot saved but Wayne Rooney slotted the rebound. Brazil could have equalised but Neymar could not place a wonderful Oscar cross on-target. Walcott had a testing shot saved before the break. Lampard came on for the second half to make his 94th England appearance. Ramires, like Cole, was replaced at the interval. With two minutes of the second half played, Cahill lost possession midway inside his own half and another substitute, Fred, was able to level the scores. The same player hit the crossbar moments later. Cahill recovered from his mistake to stop the impressive Oscar getting in a shot and then had a header from a corner tipped over having escaped the marking of David Luiz. Just before the hour, Lampard made it 2-1 with a crisp shot from the edge of the area which went in off the post. It was a typically instinctive finish and was England goal no. 27 for the Chelsea midfielder. David Luiz came off on 78 minutes with no sign of injury difficulty and England saw out the remaining minutes relatively comfortably, meriting the win over Luiz Felipe Scolari's side and a first victory over Brazil for 23 years. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3069625/ ACADEMY PAIR IN ALGARVE ACTION Posted on: Fri 08 Feb 2013 Two Chelsea Academy players were involved on Friday afternoon in England Under-17s' opening match in the annual Algarve Tournament in Portugal. Midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek (pictured) and schoolboy right-back Ola Aina both started the game but were on the losing side against Germany. England took an early lead but against the run of play were pulled back to 1-1 by half-time. Germany made it 2-1 shortly after the break which was the final score. Aina was substituted on 77 minutes. It was the first of three games in five days for England who are next in action on Sunday when they face the host nation. They play the Netherlands on Tuesday. Another Chelsea schoolboy Charlie Colkett was called up for the tournament but withdrew due to injury. Chelsea involvement this week in internationals at Under-21 level was completed on Thursday night when striker Milan Lalkovic came on at half-time for Slovakia. His side beat Switzerland 1-0 thanks to a second-half goal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3071922/ PORTUGAL PIP ACADEMY PAIR Posted on: Sun 10 Feb 2013 Two Chelsea Academy players were part of a second narrow defeat for England Under-17s in the annual Algarve tournament for that age group. Having lost 2-1 on Friday despite taking the lead against Germany, the young England side suffered a similar fate on Sunday against host nation Portugal. Chelsea schoolboy Ola Aina started the game and came off at half-time with England leading 1-0. Portugal scored twice in the first 11 minutes of the second-half before our youth team midfielder Ruben Loftus-Check (pictured), who started the Germany game, was introduced with an hour played. England conclude their tournament on Tuesday against the Netherlands. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3071829/ NIGERIA CROWNED KINGS OF AFRICA Posted on: Sun 10 Feb 2013 John Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and Kenneth Omeruo are tonight (Sunday) celebrating their first major international championship after a single goal was enough to win Nigeria the Africa Cup of Nations. All three Chelsea men played the full 90 minutes against Burkina Faso in Johannesburg and all played their part in the 1-0 win. The goal came late in the first half and the victory was never really in doubt. The Nigerian goalkeeper was truly tested only once. Moses overcame the ankle injury that forced him off in the second half of the semi-final and passed a late fitness test. Nigeria were however deprived of tournament topscorer Emmanuel Emenike due to injury. The opening half was peppered with errors, unsurprisingly so with a young Nigerian side playing a major final against a nation not expected to make it so far in the tournament. Super Eagles defender Efe Ambrose headed over from a well-taken Moses free-kick in the opening minutes and Nigeria missed another early chance after a mistake from the Burkinabe keeper. Moses was causing more problems to the opposing side than anyone on the pitch, switching wings and taking on full-backs. Ambrose brought the ball forward half the length of the pitch but his pass through the middle into the area for Moses to attack was too strong. There was a warning for Nigeria at the other end when Bakary Kone had a free header at the far post on 37 minutes. Burkina Faso's other first-half efforts had been long-range shots but from closer in and a difficult angle he could not hit the target. Two minutes later Nigeria took the lead with Moses involved in the initial attack. The Chelsea winger might have been fouled when twisting in the area but he stayed on his feet and Burkina Faso's half-clearance was picked up by Sunday Mba. He lifted the ball over a defender and then volleyed into the net Gazza-style. More excellent wide play by Moses gave Brown Ideye the chance to shoot across goal two minutes after the restart but the angle was against him. Moses then spearheaded a counter-attack into plenty of space but was caught in two minds inside the area. His attempted pass was blocked. On 56 minutes two Chelsea men were shown a yellow card in very quick succession. Omeruo, our 19-year-old central defender on loan at Den Haag, was cautioned for a foul, a touch harshly and Mikel went into the book for disputing the decision. It was rare blot for either player on the night. Both were solid with Nigeria on top and Mikel was voted Man of the Match. Moses did do well as part of Nigeria's next counter-attack but the target of his pass, substitute Ahmed Musa, stumbled at the crucial moment when poised to score. Burkina Faso went straight on the attack and it needed a superb diving save from Vincent Enyeama to keep out Wilfried Sanou's shot. That was by far the closest Burkina Faso came to scoring. On this occasion they could not produce one of the late goals that had played a big part in reaching the final. Instead the chances inside the final 10 minutes were all for the Super Eagles. Moses with one was not able to get his shot away under pressure from the keeper after some slack defending. The final whistle gave Nigeria their third Africa Cup of Nations win. Mikel becomes an African nations champion as well a European club champion. Chelsea Football Club congratulates our three Nigerian players on their wonderful achievement. -- http://fanchants.com/football-songs/chelsea-chants/we-all-follow-the-chelsea/ We All Follow The Chelsea, Over land and sea (and Leicester) We All Follow The Chelsea, Onnnntooo vi-ic-toreee... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.43.143.252
