The Subtle Genius of Ji So-Yun

How Chelsea's midfield maestro creates "micro-advantages."

Chelsea struggled vs. Arsenal in the first half of Friday’s premier WSL matchup. Build-up deficiencies that had been festering in the 4-4-2 in prior games came to the fore vs. Jonas Eidevall’s combination of selective pressing and a mid-high block.

Then, Ji So-Yun made her return for the injured Erin Cuthbert in the 58th minute, injecting life into her team through her mastery of positioning and tactical intelligence. Although the game ended in a 0-0 draw, the South Korean’s introduction marked a significant shift in the momentum of proceedings and directly led to some of The Blues’ best chances.
