Xabi Alonso has revealed what he said in his half-time team talk during Chelsea’s clash with Manchester United. His words inspired a dominant second-half performance at Stamford Bridge.
Man Utd arguably should have been ahead at half-time, but Chelsea deserved their victory by the end. Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer scored a goal each, while Estevao Willian had two efforts ruled out for offside.
Rogers’ goal five minutes into the second half continued Chelsea’s trend of scoring soon after the restart. But what was Alonso’s half-time message that helped inspire a comfortable 2-0 win?
