Chelsea will clash with Villareal on neutral ground in Belfast. Chelsea finished the season great and beat Manchester City 1-0 in the Champions League final and their coach Tuchel is perhaps most significant for that great success. His arrival has significantly improved the game of Celsius and his philosophy of the game is pleasing to the players of the London club. Chelsea played great in the preliminaries, they played 4 matches and have a balance of 3 wins and one draw. In the last match they drew 2-2 with Tottenham even though they were a better rival, Ziyech scored two great goals and he plays great in the preliminaries. Chelsea played last season with Real Madrid, Atletico and Sevilla and has not lost a single duel, even beating Atletico Madrid twice.

On the other hand, Villarreal finished seventh last season in Spain, although they managed to score in 19 of the last 20 games, a big problem for this team is their defence, which has conceded 12 goals in the last 6 friendly matches. I think that factor will be very important if they play against a team that plays high pressure, Celsius attack is led by a fantastic trio of Werner, Havertz and Ziyech who will pose a great danger to Villarreal's goal. He expects a tough game first of all, with little chance but I think Chelsea will find a way to score at least one goal. Tuchel is in my opinion the best coach in the world and I believe he will motivate the players to win another important trophy. Chelsea has been playing very well lately as shown in the preliminaries and I think they are a better team than Villarreal at the moment. The "guests" will probably wait for their chance through the great Gerrard Moreno and from the counter-attacks, but their defence is not playing very well lately and I think that Chelsea will manage to use those "holes" in the defence.

My prediction: Chelsea to win

切尔西将在贝尔法斯特的中立场地与比利亚雷亚尔交手。切尔西以出色的表现结束了上赛季，并在冠军联赛决赛中以 1-0 击败曼城，而他们的教练图赫尔可能是取得这一巨大成功的最重要的人。他的到来极大地改善了切尔西的比赛，他的比赛哲学令这支伦敦球队的球员感到高兴。切尔西在季前赛中表现出色，他们进行了4场比赛，3胜1平保持不败。上一场他们2-2战平热刺，尽管他们是更好的对一方，齐耶赫打进了两个精彩的进球，他在季前赛表现出色。切尔西上赛季与皇马、马竞和塞维利亚队交手，并且没有输过，还两次击败马德里竞技。

另一方面，比利亚雷亚尔上赛季在西班牙排名第七，尽管他们在过去的 20 场比赛中有 19 场进球，但这支球队的一个大问题是他们的防守，在过去的 6 场友谊赛中丢了 12 个球。我认为如果他们与一支压力很大的球队比赛，这个因素将非常重要，切尔西的进攻由维尔纳、哈弗茨和齐耶赫三人带领，他们将对比利亚雷亚尔的球门构成巨大威胁。我期待这将是一场艰难的比赛，切尔西会找到破门的方法。图赫尔在我看来是世界上最好的教练，我相信他会激励球员们赢得另一个重要的奖杯。正如季前赛的表现，切尔西最近的表现非常好，我认为他们目前是比比利亚雷亚尔更出色的球队。 “客队”可能会通过杰拉德莫雷诺这样的球员等待反击机会，但他们的防守最近表现不佳，我认为切尔西将利用比利亚雷亚尔在防守中的“漏洞”。

预测：切尔西胜
