News about Axel Disasi

Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has opened up on why one of his early signings for the Blues claims to have struggled in the Premier League.  Since taking over the West London club in 2022 as head of the Clearlake consortium, Boehly has spent over a billion pounds trying to get the right squad together to mount a decent campaign. The American businessman spoke on the global greatness of football - and the Premier League in particular - but noted how the pace of the game left one £33m signing struggling to adapt after joining Chelsea.

The defender will link up with his new club in July and have a presentation at the club's iconic Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro, the venue of the 2014 World Cup final. Silva, 39, revealed that he will leave the Blues at the end of his contract this summer after four years at Stamford Bridge.

Aston Villa defender Diego Carlos has taken to social media to break silence on the controversial decision to disallow Axel Disasi's goal for Chelsea at Villa Park. The Blues were trailing 2-0 at half-time but were impressive in the second period and goals from Noni Madueke and Conor Gallagher levelled things up.

Chelsea 's Noni Madueke had to be dragged away by the Chelsea coaching staff and his teammates after complaining to referee Craig Pawson following the Blues 2-2 draw with Aston Villa. The striker was incensed after Chelsea were denied a late winner when Axel Disasi's injury-time goal was ruled by a VAR check. The French defender thought he had won all three points when he headed home a 97th-minute winner after the Blues had come back from 2-0 down at Villa Park. However, the jubilant celebrations were stopped short when a VAR review spotted a foul in the build up to the goal. Benoit Badiashile appeared to shove Diego Carlos in the back as the ball was dropping into the box before he crossed the ball into Disasi for the goal.

Mauricio Pochettino reacted with five words after Chelsea had a late goal controversially ruled out against Aston Villa.  The Blues fell behind to a Marc Cucurella's early own-goal and Morgan Rogers' strike just before the break.  But they fought back strongly and were rewarded when Noni Madueke and Conor Gallagher drew the game level.

GRAEME SOUNES: Manchester United's season was distilled in 90 minutes at Chelsea on Thursday night. Hopeless. The show was fabulous. Agonizing. It's been their season in microcosm, and it's what you get from the team's book of modest players. They have glimpses to get you excited and then have you in despair. Their supporters have left some games this year thinking: 'How bad are we?'and others thinking, 'We're back!'

After a spectacular penalty error from Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella had opened the scoring in the 13th minute, with the in-form Cole Palmer doubling the lead in added time of the first half.

The Blues' difficult season continued over the weekend, with a late Axel Disasi strike salvaging a draw at out-of-form Brentford as the team remained in the bottom half of the Premier League table. Despite a second tough season under Pochettino's leadership, Todd Boehly has maintained his faith in Pochettino, but the former Tottenham boss's future is far from certain. Although the club's hierarchy will wait until the end of the season to determine Pochettino's results, they have apparently arrived early to choose their next potential manager if the worst case scenario comes to fruition.

KIERAN GILL AT THE GTECH STADIUM: Mauricio Pochettino admits to feeling the lack of affection from Chelsea's followers after their etiazing during Saturday's draw, but has promised to beat them over if given the opportunity by the club's owners. As they depended on a late leveller from Axel Disasi at the Gtech Community Stadium, the supporters sang for their manager to 'f*** off,' and Pochettino said afterwards: 'I am not concerned.' We have to accept this relationship. 'Someone asked me do you feel love from the fans? You build your relationship with the coach and the supporters by winning games, but we can't quite match the anticipation.

During a tense 2-2 draw against Brentford in a West London derby on Saturday, Chelsea supporters sung an expletive-ridden chant in the direction of their owner. The Blues of Mauritio Pochettino currently sits in 11th place in the Premier League, and they have continued to lose points in their quest to reach the European positions.

Brentford's Yoane Wissa scored a spectacular bicycle kick to put the team up against west London rivals Chelsea. Nicolas Jackson had led the Blues in the first half with a header before Mads Roerslev's equalizer five minutes after the break.

Thiago Silva's season has been full of ups and downs in what seems to be his last season with Chelsea, but the Carabao Cup final will be held this weekend. The 39-year-old's contract will come to an end this summer and appears to have come to an end. Despite being a central figure for Chelsea this season, he has still been a pivotal figure in the defence department. Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashille, as well as youngsters Levi Colwill and Alfie Gilchrist have all been using his experience to guide new faces who have appeared at the back in the last year.

Once Thiago Silva returns to fitness, Jamie Carragher believes it will be difficult for him to return to the Chelsea lineup. Since suffering from an injury during Monday's win over Crystal Palace, the 39-year-old defender missed the 1-1 draw with Manchester City. Silva has been a keystay in Chelsea's defense since joining the club in 2020, but Carragher insists that his time in west London will come to an end.

After the Blues defeated Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, Axel Disasi attempted to go crowd surfing on the Chelsea supporters. In the first half of the London derby, Mauricio Pochettino's side lost to a Jefferson Lerma goal before Conor Gallagher's brace and another from Enzo Fernandez snatched all three points. Gallagher, the former owner of Eagles, ignited wild celebrations when he gracefully slotted past Dean Henderson in the first minute of stoppage time, sparking jubilant scenes between players and supporters.

Chelsea's without Silva, who will be 40 this year, they had a youthful look to their squad.

Mauricio Pochettino will hold his press conference on Tuesday, implying that his job is still safe amid growing scrutiny following Wolves' humiliating loss. Chelsea is off to Villa Park on Wednesday to face the FA Cup fourth round, trying to prevent the rot from crashing and suffering from a 4-2 loss at Stamford Bridge that saw them booed off the field.

Wolves beat Stamford Bridge 4-2, with Matheus Cunha's hat-trick leading to Chelsea's relegated to the bottom of the Premier League table. Cole Palmer's goal had his side winning their fifth home league victory in a row after he slotted in after 19 minutes.
