UNDER-19S REPORT: BARCELONA 0 CHELSEA 2
Posted on: Wed 20 Feb 2013
== Summary ==
The Chelsea Academy marches proudly into the quarter-finals of the NextGen
Series after a superb win away in Spain, despite being reduced to 10 men
for most of the second half.
Islam Feruz's opener looked like it could be in vain when Connor Hunte was
sent off, but Jeremie Boga (pictured) fired a late second goal to send us
through following a spirited defensive display.
After a nervy early period in which Chelsea men twice cleared off the
line, the visitors gradually grew into the contest and were the match of
our illustrious opponents, who on their own patch entered the game as
favourites.
Half-chances at either end failed to produce a goal, until just before
half-time a Chelsea counter-attack involving some direct running from Boga
allowed Todd Kane to square for Feruz to slot home and give us the lead.
Youngster Hunte was dismissed just after the break for a late tackle and
suddenly we had an uphill task, but like their senior colleagues, this
Chelsea side has bags of nerve and steel, and held out for the entire
second half, despite increasing Barca pressure.
There was to be a Fernando Torres moment too, just like in the Camp Nou
last season, except this time it was Boga who would wrap up the win,
skipping past his man inside the area and firing low into the bottom
corner.
Now it is on to the quarter-finals in our first European foray at youth
level. The draw is on Friday.
== First half ==
The Blues, all in white, started well with the added experience of captain
George Saville and Todd Kane, who was back from a loan with Blackburn,
drafted in by coach Dermot Drummy to complement the younger talents which
included schoolboys Hunte and Boga. Feruz, injured for Youth Cup duty last
week, was back in the striker's role.
Chelsea probably just edged the opening 10 minutes but Barça showed what
could happen if we let concentration slip, their winger seizing on a loose
ball and pulling back for the striker to shoot low at goal, with Kane
doing well to clear the ball off the line.
Four minutes later Mitchell Beeney made a decent save low down before
letting another from Adama Traore Diarra slip through his hands, only for
Alex Davey to emulate Kane by lashing the ball to safety before it could
cross the line.
Three chances in five minutes had put the home side firmly on the front
foot, but Alex Kiwomya was able to work Barça goalkeeper Joseph Ondoa
with a low drive shortly afterwards as the Blues felt their way back into
the game.
Kane was able to advance down the right flank after 25 minutes, and with
no options to cross, chose to shoot, bringing a nervy-looking safe from
Ondoa, with Feruz almost able to pounce on the loose ball.
Back at the other end Chelsea had Davey to thank once more as he timed a
tackle perfectly on Cristian Herrera inside the area. That started a
Chelsea counter-attack, which eventually came to nothing, but the next
time we broke forward it would be to devastating effect.
Boga ran towards goal and found the overlapping Kane in the right channel,
and this time rather than shooting, the full-back was able to square for
Feruz to tap into an empty net and give Chelsea the lead.
== Second half ==
Two minutes after the break, Hunte was given his marching orders for a
rash challenge. He had already been booked but the referee opted to
produce a straight red. It meant the Blues would have to hold out with a
man down for 43 minutes.
After an open first half, we would now need to shut down the spaces in our
half and maintain discipline against a Barça side in the mould of their
senior team. Dermot Drummy changed the shape to 4-4-1, with Feruz up front
alone, his task now to chase loose balls and Barca defenders.
As the half wore on, Barça took more and more control, but were unable to
produce any clear-cut chances, relying instead on long-range efforts that
were of little to no trouble for Beeney.
One scrambled corner following a sliced clearance from the Chelsea
goalkeeper had the heart in the mouth, but once again a white shirt was
able to clear.
Adama crossed for sub David Babunski 12 minutes from time, but with space
to bring the ball down, he opted for a speculative bicycle kick, and shot
well off target. Moments later Beeney did well to tip over from the
highly-rated Sergi Samper.
Seven minutes from time the keeper parried another effort clear before
Andreas Christensen made an important tackle and Beeney once again denied
a looping Barca effort. Now Chelsea were defending on the edge of the
box, with little prospect of advancing too far up the pitch.
Saville was forced to deflect a Babunski effort wide and then Kane cleared
a header away from the Chelsea goal as Barça applied ever-increasing
pressure.
Just like in the stadium next door 10 months ago, there would be one late
Chelsea chance, and one late Chelsea goal to confirm our passage through.
This time the goalscorer was Jeremie Boga, whose nimble footwork inside
the area allowed him to skip past his marker before firing low past the
goalkeeper into the far corner. Game over.
The excellent season for the Academy continues, and we will find out our
next opponents in this absorbing competition at the end of the week.
