Yeah, no, just what Robbo said.

You know, like, I think Chelsea surprised them.

Why?

Because the way they set it up, you understand?

As soon as the game kicked off, you saw it from the first minute.

Regardless if they had the opportunity to score Barcelona, you could see that the energy and the way they were going after.

They stacked the midfield, you understand, because with James and Casero, they were, like, working really hard.

And they used the pace up front.

They didn't even start it with...

like a normal striker because Neto was the attacking player for them in the middle or even coming on the side sometimes.

But it was just good to see.

I think it was a team that normally is very comfortable and keeping the ball against a team that put a lot of energy and didn't give them a lot of time on the ball.

And what you just highlighted, you know, everybody's eye was going to be on Jamal and, you know, Cucurella.

And Cucurella is one of those players, you'd rather have him in your team because you don't want to play against him because he can annoy you.

But he had a great game against Yamaha, I'd say.

I like the fact that just how they responded to every, you know, like even tackles in the way, like when they kicked off the game.

In the beginning, you understand, keeping the ball in the team at the back, I was a little bit waiting because I was a little bit worried because in the beginning it didn't look that comfortable the way they were passing from the back.

But then afterwards they started to pick up and what they really used well, the pace.

And then, I mean, Estafal gave us an answer in the sense of what...

they really wanted to do because you get on the ball and dribble at them and take them on.
