On June 17, in the first round of the Group D group stage of the Club World Cup, Chelsea beat Los Angeles FC 2-0, making a good start. In this game, Chelsea's new player Drapp made a substitute in the second half and assisted Enzo to score the second goal in the lockdown victory. Drapp's outstanding performance won unanimous recognition from Blues fans. This powerful center, which cost the team only £30 million, is simply worth it.

In the new Club World Cup, Chelsea is in Group D with Flamenco, Tunisia Hope and Los Angeles FC. In the first round of the game, Chelsea faced Los Angeles FC, and Jackson assisted Neto to score a goal in the 34th minute of the first half. In the second half, Los Angeles FC, which was fighting locally, launched a fierce attack, and Chelsea's goal was once in a panic. At the critical moment, Maresca sent a new player Drapp in the summer window in the 64th minute. In this game, Drapp played for 26 minutes on the bench and gave Enzo an excellent assist in the 80th minute. At that time, Palmer made a ball forward, and Delapp directly crossed the ball to the goal. Enzo inserted the ball into the net, helping Chelsea secure the victory 2-0. In addition to this assist, Drapp also had an inverted triangle pass after a breakthrough, but unfortunately Enzo inserted and failed to catch up. Drapp's ability to make balls as a center forward is fully reflected in this game. After the game, Drapp, who played for only 26 minutes, received a media score of 7 points. It should be said that Drapp's Chelsea debut was perfect, giving 1 assist and 2 key passes, helping the team win its debut in the New Club World Cup. The British center who spent only £30 million on Chelsea has quickly integrated into Chelsea's tactical system.

Drapp comes from Manchester City's youth training system and is in the same league as Palmer, Lavia and others in Chelsea's team, so there is no problem in integration. Last season, Drapp played for the Premier League relegation team and scored 12 goals in 37 games. This summer, facing Manchester United's pursuit, Drapp finally chose Chelsea, which has the Champions League to play. In the new season, Drapp will compete with Jackson for Chelsea's starting center position. Of course, Maresca can also try to start both of them at the same time, playing the double center tactics.
