[스포티비뉴스=이충훈·장하준 영상기자]It ended up being the worst debut for both Chelsea and João Felix.
Chelsea recently signed Felix, a star from Atletico Madrid, on loan. He showed his anticipation by starting the match once morest Fulham right away without any adaptation period.
Felix failed to score in the first half, but he delighted the fans by teaming up with Chelsea’s established attacking staff. He also knocked the Fulham goal with several aggressive shots.
However, in the 13th minute of the second half, perhaps because he was more motivated, Felix tried an unreasonable tackle, and in the end, he was sent off before his debut.
Chelsea balanced Fulham 1-1 until Felix was sent off. However, following being sent off, he might not overcome his numerical inferiority and conceded the winning goal to Carlos Vinicius and lost 1-2. In addition, Felix was suspended for 3 games due to post-exit punishment. It has become a very harsh situation for Chelsea with many injuries.
Meanwhile, the player who scored the first goal in the game that day was none other than Willian, who wore a Chelsea uniform for a long time. Willian doesn’t celebrate following scoring and has a courtesy for his home team.
