After defeating Manchester United, Chelsea faced three games a week. They played against Stoke City away from home, then rushed to Romania to participate in the Champions League to challenge the Romanian giants Cluj, and then returned to home to face Villa. Although the opponents were not strong.
team, but physical fitness is a very severe test for the team.
Just when the outside world was busy discussing whether Prince had a chance to break the Premier League's single-season scoring record, Prince suddenly became silent.
In the match against Stoke City, Chelsea defeated the home team 3:1 away from home. Drogba scored twice and Lampard scored from long range. The prince started the game and contributed two assists in 70 minutes, but did not score.
This is the first game of the season in which he has not scored.
In fact, the data of two assists is already very dazzling. Although he did not score a goal, he can help his teammates score goals. That is a person who contributes to the team. The team also won the game and continued to lead the standings.
So although some media couldn't help complaining about Prince's weakened offensive power, fans would not believe such nonsense and continue to support the team and Prince as always.
But in the second round of the Champions League group stage, the Prince still failed to break through the opponent's door.
Scolari made a large rotation in this game. After all, in the intensive schedule, the physical distribution of the players is a problem. If the players cannot be fully rested, the chance of injury during the game will increase.
Very worth the loss.
Although Prince went to Romania with the team, he did not appear in the starting lineup. Deco, Joe Cole and others also sat on the bench.
Chelsea still played according to their own playing style. In the first 3 minutes, Chelsea got the first chance to shoot, but Kalou played weakly. In the 8th minute, Cone shot high from 30 meters in front of the goal. In the 10th minute, Lampa
Germany dribbled the ball horizontally and shot from the edge of the penalty area but was blocked by Muresan. In the 13th minute, Trica shot from the outside. In the 25th minute, Drogba leaned on Kadu at the edge of the penalty area and turned around and shot wide of the left post.
In the 31st minute, Mikel's low shot with his right foot from the outside was confiscated by goalkeeper Stanjoyu. In the 38th minute, Trika's low shot missed the right post.
The entire first half was unremarkable. Although Chelsea had the advantage, Cluj relied on their home advantage to deal with the Blues tenaciously. No one on either side was able to score, and even the shots were very few.
During the halftime break, Scolari began to make personnel adjustments. Deco and Joe Cole came off the bench, but Prince still sat on the bench.
However, he was not able to sit until the end of the game. Drogba was brutally tackled by his opponent in the 58th minute and was eventually carried off on a stretcher. As a last resort, Scolari let the prince come on to replace Warcraft as a lone forward.
.Or a tactical center.
Prince can play forward, but he doesn't have many advantages in the center position. Romanians are all tall and big, and Prince's small body is like a sheep in a tiger's mouth against him. Although he also has several points for his teammates.
A wonderful pass. There was also a kick that was rejected by the door frame, but the overall performance was tragic.
The whole game is over. Cluj tied with the away Premier League champion Chelsea at home. Neither side was able to score. After two rounds of group matches, Chelsea ranked first in the group with 4 points, and the opponent in this game
Cluj ranked second with 4 points due to goal difference. After an unexpected loss to Cluj in the first round, Roma quickly adjusted its form and defeated Bordeaux, ranking third in the group with 3 points, while Roma had two losses in two games.
Bordeaux is ranked last in the group.
After returning to London, the media began to hype up the topic of Prince not scoring a goal. Although Prince played less time in this game, compared with the previous state where he averaged almost two goals per game, there was a significant decline.
It gave them something to discuss.
"We can see that at the beginning of the season, Callejon appeared in a new position, or in other words, he has been a forward since the European Cup. It is undeniable that in the first few games, he played in a new position.
His performance was pretty good, with results in 5 league games and a total of 9 goals scored. However, as the schedule unfolded, he gained nothing in the last two games and his form was sluggish.
What is the reason for this result?
This is not our malicious speculation. Last season he played in the midfield position with Frankfurt and Chelsea, performed well and became famous in one fell swoop.
Perhaps his performance last season gave him unlimited confidence. After the season, he unexpectedly relied on the coach's favor and unreasonably asked to become a forward. It must be said that this is the inflated mentality of a young player.
Maybe in the previous games, the opponent did not adapt to his new position and gave him a chance to score goals, but as soon as everyone noticed him, like in these two games, he lost the ability to score goals.
It is undeniable that his performance in the midfield is a top star, but if he continues to squander his talents at the forward position, then maybe another meteor will pass by before long, and finally be annihilated in a football where talents are abundant.
circle.
Of course, there may be a more accurate analysis, which is that Callejon's talent is limited to this, and his outstanding performance last season has exhausted his talents, and he has eclipsed everyone since then."
The prince was filled with anger when he saw this comment. Why can't I play as a striker? I haven't scored a goal in two games soon. I still have two assists and a goalpost. Two games are also called a goal drought. This
Helping reporters and commentators is such a waste of time.
The next game was Chelsea's home game against Villa, and the prince decided to perform well that day and try to score a hat-trick or something to shut up these damn guys.
But tragedy struck him again on the day of the game.
In the first half of the game, the prince shot a total of 4 times. One shot was blocked by the goalkeeper, one was blocked by the Villa defender, and two were blocked by the goalposts. This fact made him want to cry.
In fact, the prince's condition is still good, but even with high data, there is a problem of probability. Maybe it is because the prince did not wear red underwear today, and the chances of not making it happen to be all together today.
The fans at the scene also paid attention to the situation hyped by the media, and took practical actions to express their support for the prince, such as hanging superstar banners to cheer the prince, and chanting the prince's name when he got the ball. In fact, the fans
His thinking is very simple. Even if the prince doesn't score, he is still Chelsea's most important player.
