Dean Smith Wants to Put Things "Right" Against New York City FC
An electrical storm rolled over the Bank of America Stadium before the players had run out to warm up, and the few fans already inside were told to move into the undercover areas for shelter. Well, it was technically a defeat in the end for Chelsea, but there were some positives to take from the match... Despite the encouraging signs from Sterling, the rest of the team was nowhere near his level. The lack of quality in the midfield was particularly obvious, and the role that Jorginho has was emphasized as the midfield could not cope without his presence. Ampadu could not play the defensive aspects of the position well, and there was little-to-no chemistry and link up play between he and Gallagher. The lack of midfield cohesion was painfully obvious in real time, and it allowed Charlotte to assert itself into the match and control the second half.
Penalty shootout
No word on the Chelsea lineup either, the team has not given an update since the initial Starting XI was posted then deleted on social media. Marcos Alonso and Hudson-Odoi are the wing-backs for Chelsea, while Reece James and Emerson play center-back flanking Thiago Silva. Pulisic had been quiet before the goal, with Chelsea choosing to attack mostly down the right. Still, the American seems to be always in the right place at the right time inside the 18-yard box. Charlotte’s win came after suffering a 3-2 defeat at Inter Miami CF last weekend, allowing three unanswered goals after Yordy Reyna gave them a 2-0 lead in the first half.
The man of the moment
Edouard Mendy was given his first match action of pre-season as part of the starting line-up and Pulisic, in his homeland, was also in the 11 that began the game. Only Thiago Silva and Hakim Ziyech were in the first-half side for both the Club America game at the weekend and this one. An equaliser from the penalty spot in the last seconds of open play, followed by a shoot-out that did not go the Blues way, denied us what looked set to be a second win of our USA-based pre-season.

Over the years, Chelsea FC has seen its fair share of triumphs and struggles. From winning numerous league titles and domestic cups to experiencing managerial changes and ownership transitions, the club’s history is a tapestry of highs and lows. Management at Mellow Mushroom in Uptown said they welcomed and prepared for the extra boost to business. Charlotte FC made all five of their penalty kicks, while a miss from Chelsea's Conor Gallagher sealed their fate and gave Charlotte the win. Chelsea FC is an English professional football club that plays in the Premier League in Fulham, London.
American international Christian Pulisic got 45 minutes against Club America in Las Vegas on Saturday, coming on at halftime, and he starts from the get-go here in Charlotte. The USMNT star is fighting for a place in the crowded Chelsea attack, with the likes of Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Mason Mount, and Michy Batshuayi all vying for minutes. It's Ziyech to begin opposite Pulisic, with Batshuayi through the middle.
However it was a more fragmented display by the Premier League side than before the break. Charlotte generated some chances, though, and a great opportunity presented itself with an out-swinging cross to the back post that was headed into the ground and expertly saved by Mendy. The constant Chelsea pressure finally broke the Charlotte defense in the 30th minute with a goal from Captain America.
In another positive sign, the on-field countdown clock that was set for 30 minutes has just been knocked down to 20 minutes, and has begun to count down. Moments later, the Charlotte FC goalkeeper is forced to make another stop from a healthy effort by Marcos Alonso. He's standing on his head at the moment, Charlotte have broken down since the opener.
Thiago Silva puts in a poor tackle on Swiderski in midfield and concedes a foul, but takes the brunt of it physically as well. He needs treatment for what appears to be a hard whack to the head, but is ok and returns to his spot along the back line. New York City (4-4-2) beat Charlotte (3-5-2) for the first time after entering play with a record in the series.

Here's all of the information you need to know about the upcoming fixture. Thomas Tuchel will hope that his team will be able to prevail against Charlotte, who were only formed in 2019. Michy Batshuayi was involved as he turned and fired towards goal.
Aside from Batshuayi and Emerson, every player in the XI should be featured with an important enough role in the squad for the upcoming season. But the 2022 MLS expansion side equalized in the 92nd minute through striker Daniel Rios’ powerful penalty kick. The stoppage-time chance arose after a confident run from Charlotte academy player and US youth international Brian Romero, whose shot was blocked by the hand of Chelsea center back Trevoh Chalobah. New York City pulled even at halftime on goal by Keaton Parks in the 41st minute. Parks took a crossing pass from Julián Fernández off a set piece to send a header from the center of the box to the top left corner for his first netter this season.
Still, the spread is just 1.5 goals, indicating that while many expect Chelsea to emerge victoriously, there is respect for the fight Charlotte are expected to put up. In contrast, Inter Miami was a 2.5 goal underdog against Barcelona before losing by six. In the United States, the match can be streamed on ESPN's exclusive streaming service ESPN+ which requires a subscription.
Brandt Bronico, who playedfor UNC Charlotte, leads the team in tackles from his central midfield positionand ranks third in minutes played. Rookie Ben Bender, the first pick in the2022 MLS Super Draft, has 3 goals and 3 assists this season. Goalkeeper KristijanKahlina has 5 clean sheets and a 72.7% save percentage, and Charlotte’s 23goals against ranks as the fifth-fewest in the Eastern Conference. It took a tip-over save to prevent Charlotte scoring a freak own goal at the start of the second half after Ethan Ampadu, one of 10 outfield changes at the interval and playing in midfield, had bundled the ball goalwards.
