Chelsea is currently down 1-0 against Real Betis in the UEFA Europa Conference League final, following a goal from Abde Ezzalzouli. The team's performance has been disappointing, particularly from Malo Gusto, prompting former player Steve Sidwell to advocate for the inclusion of Captain Reece James from the start. Chelsea made the decision to substitute Gusto for James at halftime in hopes of improving their defensive and offensive capabilities. Chelsea is looking to secure win to conclude a successful season with silverware after qualifying for Champions League.
A change needed to happen for Chelsea. I was surprised Reece James didn't start in the first place. You play your captain in a European cup final.
Given the performance of Gusto in the first half of the game, it was a necessary change, and the England international could make a big difference for them.
