UCL: ‘Juventus Will Celebrate 4-0 Defeat To Chelsea’ – Joe Cole
Former England player,Joe Cole has said that Juventus will celebrate their 4-0 defeat to Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League tie on Tuesday night.
Naija News understands that Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Timo Werner made life uncomfortable for the Italian side last night with each scoring a goal in their group stage match.
Reacting to Thomas Tuchel’s side victory against Juve’s Massimiliano Allegri side, Cole who was a former Blues said the Italian club will get on the plane last night feeling joyful they were only beaten four to nought.
Cole also hailed five Chelsea academy graduates, Trevor Chalobah, Mason Mount, Loftus-Cheeks, Reece James and Callum Hudson-Odoi, following their impressive performances against the visiting team last night.
“Champagne football, it’s a beautiful performance,” Cole said on BT Sport.
“Look at the smiles, unbelievable. Look at the goal-scorers and you add your Loftus-Cheeks and Mason Mounts to that, the academy graduates. The last goal summed it up.
“The confidence of the pass with the outside of the boot from Reece James. Even Timo Werner is getting in on the act.”
“Juventus will get on the plane and be happy that it was only four,” Cole added.
“That was a step up from what I saw on Saturday against Leicester. You remember that Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner weren’t starting. That is £150m worth of talent and they still score four past Juventus.
“You start to run out of words. Top of the Premier League, top of their Champions League group, champions of Europe and with a team full of academy graduates.”
