There were even question marks as to the full fitness of N&#8217;Golo Kante, who only recently returned from a knee injury and started here.<\/p>\n<p>Chalobah, who collected a booking in the first half with a reckless lunge after conceding possession, was withdrawn at half-time. In his place, Saul was introduced, a character who has been an intriguing source of debate on the Stamford Bridge terraces&#8230; and not a positive intrigue.<\/p>\n\n<p>There is a fall-from-grace aura about Saul these days. A midfielder once reportedly courted by Pep Guardiola for Manchester City given his passing precision, dribbling virtuosity and intelligent positional play, has since looked like a fish out of water since trading Atletico Madrid for Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>In the fleeting opportunities Chelsea fans have seen the Atleti loanee play, he has looked a shadow of his former self, unable to acclimatise to the hustle and bustle of Premier League football; at times laden-footed as though trudging through treacle &#8212; a direct contrast to his once fleet-footed ways in Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>However, in the thick fog of an English December in the West Midlands, Saul was a beam of light. Chelsea looked a different beast in the second half with his introduction. There was an authoritative air about their pressing, retention of possession, and almost an arrogance about their style.<\/p>\n<p>Wolves did not have a single shot in the second half. From creating moments and clear-cut opportunities in the first half, notably Daniel Podence&#8217;s marginal disallowed goal and Leander Dendoncker&#8217;s scuffed free header, to not a sniff at Edouard Mendy&#8217;s goal after the restart.<\/p>\n<p>Saul, for his part, came on and made more interceptions (three) and tackles (two) than any other Chelsea player, despite playing just 45 minutes. His 91% passing accuracy was the best of any non-defensive player on the pitch (goalkeepers included), while he managed nine final-third entrees, the third-most of any Chelsea player.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1238671 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-105x70.jpg 105w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-66x44.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-1100x733.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-85x57.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2021\/12\/19161937\/1238669_1238669_PA-64429514-copy-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Those are mightily impressive numbers for a player who just entered the turf, not least when players like Kante, Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic played the full 90 minutes. Saul was almost Jorginho-esque in the way he circulated the ball across the turf.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there were one or two jittery moments when Saul conceded possession, one or two moments of daydreaming when Wolves&#8217; press capitalised on the Spaniard&#8217;s lackadaisical movement and careless reading of the game, but for the most part the positives massively outweighed the negatives.<\/p>\n<p>Saul didn&#8217;t have to do much for this to be marked as an improvement. He has set the bar so low that even five successive passes would be deemed a breakthrough. But, this was a showing of real intent and purpose. He was thrown into a hugely-intense game, and he held his own (and then some).<\/p>\n<p>He was the &#8216;heart and Saul&#8217; of Chelsea&#8217;s midfield in the second half. If he can completely eradicate the sloppy moments, he will be a huge asset to Tuchel. Is this just the beginning of Saul finally coming good?<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell. Forty five minutes is not a sample size worth overanalysing, but it was a huge, <em>huge<\/em> improvement, and Chelsea&#8217;s own second-half improvement coincided with his showing. Tuchel will be hoping this <em>is<\/em> a breakthrough moment for Saul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Jekyll and Hyde performance from Chelsea against Wolves seemed to hinge on one key aspect: the introduction of Saul at half-time.
