 How can Chelsea nullify the threat of Benzema at Banabu? Remember you are talking of Karim Benzema being a talisman. A striker who scores at 33 years of age. He can score with the feet. Also he can score using his head like he did. Very two well taken goals using his head at the other time they made. So Karim Benzema is a threat in the air and also a threat when you give him the ball in the box and even outside the box because he picks the box. He picks the ball rather in 10 if he turns and he has the sight of goal. He knows where to shoot and how to shoot. In as much as Chelsea might want to contain Karim Benzema. I think whoever will try to maybe try mark Karim Benzema or even make sure that the balls that are coming maybe are they coming from the wing or from the deliveries that Benzema scored for example. Those dead balls those balls should not reach Karim Benzema. This is Groucho with me Edema Story. And I have a friend of mine over here called Kelvin Benson Mwenewe. Yes, leha moji fichia kwa kwangue man city. But now it's a great Manchester United fan. But leha, because of what happened over the weekend, he decided to come and flag. But we'll call them out. Me, I am Edema Story as usual. But today we have a big game in Real Madrid taking on Chelsea at the Banabu bro. Chelsea were beaten 3-1 by Real Madrid at Stafford Bridge. Now this is a return leg. No away goals. It is still on to be played. But it's a huge task for Chelsea. And Chelsea back. We saw them beat Southampton over the weekend. Six nil. Can they take the performance and the confidence and go at Real Madrid and win? I am looking at a Chelsea side that really, I saw a game that improved. They will come in confidence after beating Southampton Six nil. But I think you are going to Santiago Bernabao, you are going to Spain. It's a fortress where you don't get results very easily. And remember you are going to face the likes of Karim Benzema. Again? Yeah, again. A man who taught Lukaku a lesson on how to score goals. But I am looking at a Chelsea side that really would want to think that if other teams have played in the Champions League before teams like Barcelona PSG when they made a great comebacks, Roma Chelsea will have that mentality that indeed we've got nothing to lose. Remember they are nowhere near winning the domestic title. So they will look this like a chance that maybe it can help them maybe because they are rejuvenated. I look at how they played. I look at Kai Havertz how he played over the weekend. I look at Alonso. I look at Tim Owana hitting the post and scoring a brace. So Chelsea will come into this game oozing with confidence and thinking if they attack, they get the first goal. Then they might get a result that maybe will help them or if they get the first goal and build on that, then I think it will be a good game. But I don't think they will be able to really overturn the performance because you are talking of a Real Madrid side that also will not sit back and defend like Atletico does. Real Madrid will attack. Karim Benzema who is a striker that is in very good form. They have mud rich that is doing wonders at that age. Let me ask you. We've seen that the players that have come at, they have come and they have shown us what they've got in Karim Benzema and in mud rich. These are players that are over 30s. The experience, you don't expect them to be to be in that level as per say. We expected like this young players to come through. How can Chelsea nullify the threat of Benzema at Banabu? You are talking of Karim Benzema being a talisman. A striker who scores at 33 years of age. He scores with, he can score with the feet. Also he can score using his head like he did. Very two well taken goals using his head at the other time they made. Karim Benzema is a threat in the air and also a threat when you give him the ball in the box and even outside the box because he picks the box. He picks the ball rather and then if he turns and he has the sight of goal. He knows where to shoot and how to shoot. Inasmuch as Chelsea might want to contain Karim Benzema. I think whoever will try to maybe mark Karim Benzema or even make sure that the balls that are coming maybe are they coming from the wing or from the deliveries that Benzema scored for example. Those dead balls, those balls should not reach Karim Benzema and remember Karim Benzema is a striker who also can help because sometimes he can fall back to recollect the ball when it's not there. So inasmuch as Chelsea might want to stop the threat of Karim Benzema. It might be an uphill task. So I think going to this game they should try as much as possible to defend maybe considered, not even considered. Maybe try to get a goal or two goals because Real Madrid on a good day they must score at least a goal or even two. And Karim Benzema knows Chelsea very well. He taught them away. So they are coming to Santiago. He knows that they are coming at home and he wants to prove to the fans that still I have a point to prove I'm still the greatest. Is it a mission impossible to Chelsea? Being in mind that there are two goals, there are two goal deficit and they have to overcome that. Do you think it's a mission impossible for Chelsea? I think today it's a mission impossible for Chelsea. The best they can get at Santiago is a draw, a 1-1 draw and if they get a 1-1 draw Real Madrid will progress with a 4-2 aggregate. So I really think Chelsea will not overturn things. Chelsea will not progress the semifinals and we will love this game that many will love to watch because it will be a very entertaining game. So I really don't think, I don't fancy Chelsea to come back and I'm looking at a Real Madrid side that is also using with confidence being top of the domestic league. Chelsea maybe they have the confidence because they beat Southampton 6-0 so they should not be overconfident getting into this game and also Real Madrid should not be too relaxed because a two goal margin in football is a very small thing. Once your opponent gets the first goal, the second, the third and you start to lose concentration and it starts to get into your head but we've seen Real Madrid hand on pressure we've seen them play in the Champions League even finals we've seen Karim Benzema punishing mistakes we've also seen him in the past when Karius was also playing punishing mistakes taking his chances so I really think concentration will be a thing that will come to play in this game. I think Chelsea if they are to win this game tonight the best they can do is to get out of there play with confidence as in they have nothing to lose but they should not go there being cautious the second thing I think if Chelsea are to see the way Barcelona played against Real Madrid at the Barnabu and they scored four goals I think Chelsea have the personnel I think they have the capacity because back at Stamford Bridge the first half was the worst Chelsea ever played and in fact Tushel said that he takes the blame for putting Christensen to it is called? Yeah Christensen and he took Christensen head on with Vinicius Vinicius we know is very tricky so he said that him making Christensen to hold on to Vinicius was the most undoing thing he did and they corrected it in the second half let me ask you if you are Tushel you know you are playing against Real Madrid side that has Carlo Ancelotti Carlo Ancelotti for you guys out there you should know he is an Italian tactician these guys won almost these three champions both as manager and as a player what can Tushel do to overcome this Real Madrid side that we know has Carlo Ancelotti and we know Carlo Ancelotti is also a very good tactician you are looking at Ancelotti style of playing style of coaching we are looking at his tactics and they have gotten in with Real Madrid very well this season because I am looking at Real Madrid side that without Benzema they have struggled but I think Vinicius and Benzema they have been clicking very well are you talking about a player who knows how to dictate the midfield if he is not there we have others who can play very well and as much as Tushel might want his players maybe to come out and perform all they can do as we have said earlier and a goal and build on that avoid making silly mistakes because in as much as Tushel might want to start maybe the team that played at Sodamton and 1-6-0 the team that maybe is using with confidence maybe he might want to stick to that team because now if you are coming to that game and then you make too many changes then maybe the team chemistry might also be affected so I really think today Chelsea should go out all guns and attack and if they do so get a goal get another one maybe force Real Madrid back then it might be a contest that we might say it's not yet over but if Real Madrid are to get the first goal then it is over for Chelsea but if Chelsea are to go get the first goal it will be game on let me ask you Tushel complain about the if you go to La Liga they are using the 5 substitutes so you think that Real Madrid they are fitter they are more stronger physically so do you think because in next season Premier League also will be introducing the 5 substitutes do you think that that's an advantage on Chelsea side and an advantage to Real Madrid side being in a sense that you can make 5 substitutes but as you can only make 3 substitutes I don't think it's a very big issue because when you are coming now to the Champions League the subs are the same in the Champions League it's not like in the domestic football remember if you are a player in the long run though I get your point as a player you understand that maybe in training you are taught to have the stamina have the strength to maybe persevere in the 90 minutes of the game the capacity to play the full 90 minutes even in the past we have seen only 3 subs and these were teams that really played well talk of much fitness and I think if you are to bring a player much fitness in the game maybe a player wasn't been training then that might be now the issue so I don't think it is a very big disadvantage to Chelsea and an advantage to Real Madrid because I think also Chelsea has a pool of players to pick from you might rest one player today and maybe in the Southampton game after maybe Harvard has caught the rest team he will have the guts to pick up from the next game because you are talking of subs being players that people can come from the bench and give you a result and I think it is not much of an issue because you are trying to build a team that has the capacity to play you are building a team that has the mental ability to withhold pressure and that is why people rotate that is why Pep rotates his code that is why even teams like Villa Real rotate their code I really think that this is a game that they should not allow mental weakness to come into them with the thing of subs because if you are to think like that then you might want to tell your players you are not fit to be a Madridis fitter let me ask you you look at the midfield of Chelsea because to me if you ask me the midfield of Chelsea which we have in Golokante we have Joginjo we have Kai Havertz and we have Mount come to Real Madrid side we have Cross, we have Tony Cross we have Casemiro and we have Modric if you look at having said the midfield of Madrid if you look at this Madrid side what are their weaknesses that Chelsea can exploit and maybe make them go to the semifinals I have looked at Real Madrid play most of when they lost in Barcelona and when they have been losing or underperforming the games that we expected they may be to win and you are looking at a team that at times they were not so solid or so compact playing as a team most of when they lacked Caribbean and Celote really fumble in the squad that he picked that time because they think he started the legs of Rodrigo up in front affirmation that we have not seen him use but remember Real Madrid are a team that has experience they have been in the Champions League before they really know how the business is done, how the job is done so in as much as you are you are a Chelsea team the only thing that you might want to do is most of try to be compact you try to be solid as you attack you just don't be solid because remember you are losing already with a two goal deficit so you really want to attack and you really want to ensure that you are not making errors and you are punishing errors from the opponent and also you are being clinical remember you might get a chance like we saw Mare losing some chances the other day if such chances were taken then the result could have been different so I really expect Chelsea to ensure that they don't make mistakes they made mistakes in the first leg remember what do Mandy did and I think Mandy Mandy in that game was not where the type of goalkeeper we expected him to be so I really wish that Real Madrid will not make mistakes and if they do Chelsea should take advantage and be clinical so you are saying that this Real Madrid side they don't have a weakness because that's what I wanted I was asking you we should identify the weakness the loopholes where if you exploit you can hurt them you see the weakness of Real Madrid Moso right now the weakness is on the wings remember we are talking of Carvajal Carvajal has been a good player over the years but yeah the right back we've seen him play in the previous games he's the only player that they say he may be underperformed a little bit because I think he's getting tired but we had seen him have he's not having it and remember he's coming with Riz James if Riz James can ensure that when Carvajal attacks so much they can counter attack very fast then deliver the balls to the box then I think that way they can punish Real Madrid because if you are to say that you will use the midfield you have Casemiro standing there you have Mordrich who passes the ball very well also Tony Cruz and remember also in Chelsea really ensure that the games or rather the performance is different is are the balls that are coming from the wings being dealt with properly are the dead balls being dealt with properly they set pieces of them being dealt with properly that's the only way that I think Chelsea can manage to keep Real Madrid at bay remember it's a champions league night and it's a game that really is the greatest game in football the greatest game in football indeed and tonight we gonna and vain Chelsea we gonna see Chelsea take on Real Madrid at the Bernabu here in football we always say nothing is never there's nothing anybody can overcome any football match as long as Chelsea can draw the first and score that first goal I think it will be a very very fascinating game to watch let me ask you should Real Madrid sit pretty and say we have this let's just go and play football enjoy football and it's just ours for the losing no no Real Madrid should not be comfortable at all remember if you are comfortable then that's where now you become lazy you don't want to attack like Bayern played against Villarreal they were so comfortable there was no sense of urgency so if you are to play like that and you get punished then it will be you who will be to blame and the coach also knows that this is a game that is very crucial so sitting back and maybe say that you won it all you can do that because other teams are also playing you have to play to your best and then you watch other teams how they play try to identify their mistakes and then if you are to move forward then you build on that result and maybe even win the trophy can Karim Benzema score another hat-trick today? no I don't see him scoring a hat-trick maybe a goal or two why not? at today he won't I don't know why but I don't feel like he can score today Karim Benzema if you look at the goals he scored infact at Stamford Bridge he could have scored even more but he missed a couple of chances this is one of the most fascinating game of the week to watch Real Madrid taking on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge tonight so you can go over there comment section below prediction ya kwa ni gani kwa ni kujo kwa panditiyo kwa ni mulize bro what's your prediction on tonight's game? Real Madrid taking on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge Real Madrid Real Madrid Chelsea if not it will be a one-one draw Chelsea will not qualify to the semis Chelsea will not qualify to the semis this is a game that even last season was played and Chelsea knocked out Real Madrid so it's a revenge mission and Real Madrid they are an upper hand on this game but if Chelsea and still repeat again if Chelsea are to score the first goal first half it will be one of the best matches to watch it's never too late it's never over till it's over
