struggled in the first half, being bullied off the ball to give Qarabag their first goal of the game, before giving it away for the second, where he then handballed it and gave a penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hato was signed this summer largely to be a versatile defensive option at the back, playing as a left-back for Ajax and Netherlands last season, despite his experience also playing as a central defender in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when playing in a back four, Hato can suffer from being easily bullied, with a small frame for a central defender, who is much better stepping out to defend rather than being forced to defend going backwards in central areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2nd-half-changes\">2nd half changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maresca didn&#8217;t waste time, making three half time substitutions in an attempt to salvage the game and regain control, bringing Enzo Fernandez, Alejandro Garnacho and Liam Delap on for Santos, Gittens and George.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One area Chelsea were looking to exploit in the second half was the space behind Qarabag&#8217;s defensive line, as they were looking to step up and be aggressive, putting Chelsea under pressure and looking to force mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The additions of both Garnacho and Delap were crucial to this, with both looking to operate on the last line and stretch the pitch with those runs in behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Garnacho managed to score early in the second half, with Delap dropping in, making it stick and getting it out wide to Garnacho who was on his way, allowing him to drag Chelsea forward, attempt a pass which failed, but latching onto the second ball to recollect and get his shot away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-estevao-brilliance\">Estevao brilliance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest positive Chelsea can walk away from this game with is once again their young Brazilian wonderkid, Estevao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just 18-years-old, Estevao already looks beyond his years, constantly looking to get on the ball in the final third and make things happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Estevao constantly looked like Chelsea&#8217;s biggest threat, taking three shots (one on target), scoring one goal and making three key passes in the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img

quality, receiving the ball inside the box, taking his first touch to kill the momentum of the ball and then using his second touch to use the momentum of the opposition defender, shifting inside to get his snapshot away quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Estevao is already becoming a fan favourite, getting the crowd on their feet and constantly looking to entertain, but he wasn&#8217;t able to sneak a winner and earn even more affection on the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite a better second half, Chelsea didn&#8217;t manage to grab a winner at the end, meaning their next Champions League game against Barcelona will have a little bit more on the line, which could make for an exciting watch.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a
