Chelsea's upcoming match against Brentford may prove to be a challenging one, especially for the player selected to play right back. The reason lies in the speed and attacking prowess of Brentford forward Kevin Schade. Schade, known for his ability to burst into the box and finish at the far post, has been a formidable opponent for Chelsea.
In a recent podcast, pundit CFCCentral highlighted Schade as a significant threat to Chelsea's defense, particularly to those playing right back. He pointed out that Chelsea's right back might have to be very attentive to Schade's particular movement and tendency to attack at the far post. Names like Malo Gusto, who has struggled with back post marking in the past, were mentioned as potential targets for Schade.
CFCCentral went as far as predicting that Schade would beat Gusto to the far post, and suggested that Chelsea might need to bring on Josh Acheampong to counter this threat, or even start him in defense. Meanwhile, other updates include the fact that Reece James is out of tonight's game due to an injury, leaving Chelsea with a depleted midfield.
The club is now fully under the control of its new sole owners, Clearlake, with their plans shaping the club's future.
