Good Day Fellow Football Lovers, I will like to use this medium to appreciate @njaywan and the @worldoffootball for the various contests and challenges that they've been arranging for this community, It really helps to engage us.
I am writing to tell about a football Match I watched and some changes I will like to make in the match.

The Football match is just the Just concluded Club World Cup final between Chelsea and Palmeiras. It was a very good and hot match for both teams as we all noticed because for the Chelsea they haven't won it before so they needed it also on the part of Palmeiras, they also needed it.

If I was the Manager of the Chelsea team, I would have changed many things in the game. Although the Blues won the match, they could have done better that they did on that day.

Starting from their Wingers, they knew that Mason Mount wasn't too fit for the match but they started the game with him on the Right wing also they Started with Hudson Odoi on the Left wing and this dulled their game on the first half.
Knowing that the game was a very needed final, I would have started with Hakim Ziyech in place of Mason Mount so that he will be bringing in curved shots(R2) from that flank, then start with Christian Pulisic on the Left Wing so that he'll be bringing in his own curved shots (R2) from the Left flank knowing fully well that Pulisic plays a kind of football similar to Eden Hazard.

On the Midfield too, They started with Kovacic and Ngolo kante instead of Pairing Ngolo Kante with Jorginho since they were a good pair, Kovacic is a very great player but at that moment when he was removed from the match, he should be substituted with Jorginho who was an experienced player so as to fasten the distribution of passes on the pitch. This is is the reason we noticed in that match that Thiago Silva was so much Stressed in the match that is why he was playing the role of a defender and also midfielder, distributing passes to Hudson Odoi who wasn't productive throughout the first half of the game. This even made Chelsea players to feel bad throughout the first half of the game and dropped negative social media comments in the official Chelsea pages at the end of the first half. If I was the manager I would have made the midfield more creative by pairing Ngolo Kante with Jorginho.

On the Post too, Kepa Arizabalaga should have featured in that game since he has been the one keeping for the team since Edouard Mendy travelled for the AFCON. Kepa saved the team in many matches in Mendy's absence. He even saved Penalties, he was also the keeper that led Chelsea to the Finals of the Club World Cup through his excellent performance at the Semi-final Match. Kepa have been in the beat of the Chelsea Game, He is never a bad keeper as we all know so he needed to also start the game since Mendy is still trying to return to the beat of the Chelsea having just returned from playing for Senegal. Kepa too has 90% chances of Saving a penalty more than Edouard Mendy and Mendy too just came back from a tournament where he received an award. Kepa needs awards too. If Kepa had featured on that match, the federation likely must have introduce a best goalkeeper of the tournament award and given it to Kepa for his excellent performance. Just as they Did to Thiago Silva. If I was the manager, I would have started with Kepa.

These are the Changes I would have made If I was the Manager.
