The two highest World Cup champions in the Chelsea - Liverpool match

The Daily Mail (UK) gave the highest score of the match (point 8) for Enzo Fernandez. "Usually scrutinized for the British football record transfer fee of $132 million, but Fernandez really controlled the game from Chelsea's midfield," the newspaper commented. "The Argentinian will continue to want to work with compatriot Mauricio Pochettino."

Fernandez is one of seven players to play more than 90 minutes for Chelsea. The 2022 World Cup champion joined Stamford Bridge in January 2023 from Benfica, for a record transfer fee of English football at that time of $ 132 million.

Axel Disasi is the second highest scorer at Chelsea, with 7.5 points. Disasi is appreciated for his ability to control the ball firmly, almost never lose in the air battles, and even score on his debut in the Premier League. Diogo Jota led Liverpool's attack, but had almost no chance against the new Chelsea defender.

Several other Chelsea players also received scores of 7 or higher, including Thiago Silva, Levi Colwill, Conor Gallagher, Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling. The remaining four main players all received points below 7, including captain Reece James and rookie Nicolas Jackson.

"Jackson moves well, but is disappointing in terms of finishing ability," Daily Mail commented. "He will lose sleep because of the situation when he shoots over the bar from close range after the cross into the box."

Meanwhile, another World Cup champion in 2022, Alexis Mac Allister received the highest score on the Liverpool side (point 7.5). According to the Daily Mail, all the best things about Liverpool come from Mac Allister. The former Brighton star always fought hard with the ball, and played an important role in the transition from defense to attack leading to the opener.

Liverpool only had three more players receive points from 7 or more, including goalkeeper Alisson, striker Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz. Appreciated in the assist for Diaz, but Salah did not show much more in the rest. "After the opening goal, Salah had a quiet afternoon," the newspaper commented. "Children's reaction after being substituted sends a bad message."

Diaz was applauded for his escape to open the scoring and his attempt to make it difficult for Reece James. The Colombian has generally enjoyed a good start to a season that is said to be crucial to his future, after being sidelined for much of last season through injury.

For the coach position, the Daily Mail only gave Jurgen Klopp a score of 6. The German leader was disappointed by making ineffective substitutions and letting the opponent regain control of the game. Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino received 7 points for helping Chelsea play better. "Pochettino will probably be disappointed not to take all three points after the lightning opportunities of Nicolas Jackson and Mykhaylo Mudryk, but there are many positives for the Argentine coach after the draw on the opening day," the newspaper wrote.

In addition to two goals from Diaz in the 18th minute and Disasi in the 37th minute, the nets on both sides also shook once more after Salah's goals in the 29th minute and Chilwell's in the 39th minute. However, the referee caught the error and did not recognize it. goal.
