After beating the Red Army Liverpool, Chelsea finally got a week's rest, and Scolari also had a rare day off to let the players relax their nerves, which have been tense recently.
However, the good days will not last long. A week later, the Blues will face the difficult situation of three games a week, and they are all very important games. The league must ensure victory, so as to kill the suspense of the championship as soon as possible.
The Champions League is the top priority. Even Abramovich has said informally that he can give up the league in order to go all out for the Champions League.
However, Scolari will definitely not give up the watermelon he got. You must know that Chelsea's advantage in the league is huge. If you give up the league and go all out for the Champions League, there may be no benefits for both ends. It is so unwise.
Things he didn't bother to do.
The competition for the league title has reached the final stage. The 9-point gap in the six league rounds is as insurmountable for Manchester United. All they can do now is defeat their opponents and hope that the leader Chelsea will make mistakes. However, this kind of
The odds don't seem to be as high as they prayed.
On April 23, in the 33rd round of the league, Chelsea, after a week of rest and recuperation, faced Everton at home.
The Toffees have performed very well this season. They are currently only behind the Big 4 in fifth place in the standings. Although they are still 6 points behind the Champions League, the UEFA Cup berth has been firmly secured. As long as they can
If this 6-point gap cannot be smoothed out, it depends on God's mercy.
In this game, Scolari played his best, aiming to get all three points. With the advantage of home court, the Portuguese got his wish.
Drogba opened the scoring for the home team with a corner kick just 9 minutes into the game. With this goal, Warcraft has scored 21 goals in the league this season, breaking his career single-season scoring record.
record, and when Drogba was celebrating crazily, the fans at the Blue Bridge Stadium suddenly used colored boards to spell out a big number 21 in the stands facing the rostrum. The purpose was to celebrate Drogba breaking the record and thank him for his contribution.
Everything Chelsea has done.
This was a touching scene. Drogba, who has always shown himself as a tough guy, could no longer restrain his emotions and shed tears of excitement in front of countless cameras. He felt that everything he did was worth it because of these lovely people.
fans.
The team members also hugged him one by one and encouraged him. For this Warcraft forward who can crush all defenses on the field, but is an honest and honest person who looks like a good guy off the field, the players all love or respect him very much. He has won the championship through his performance.
The support of teammates.
After Drogba thanked the fans, Everton resumed the game.
Although the Toffees have good strength, they obviously cannot really compete with the Blues, who cannot even compete with other giants. At the end of the first half, they were already three goals behind, which was very embarrassing.
Prince rewritten the score to 2:0 through a set kick, and before halftime, Drogba scored twice and received a wonderful pass from Prince to score Everton's goal again, surpassing his single-season goal tally.
Increased to 22.
The second half of the game almost turned into garbage time. Whether it was strength or fighting spirit, the Toffees were completely defeated by Chelsea at home.
The final score was 7:0. Chelsea once again staged a massacre at Stamford Bridge, while the Toffees completely became the backdrop for the goal.
However, because Prince did not play in the second half, the number of league goals only increased by one. Chelsea, who is used to playing downwind football, is still full of energy without Prince. Lampard Modric scored from a long distance and Alex headed the ball.
In the end, Essien's long shot forced the opponent's defender to create an own goal, and the Toffees who were slaughtered completely lost their will to resist.
Moyes is dizzy now, and the most urgent thing is already in front of him. If he cannot adjust the team's morale problem in time, he is likely to face a collapse in the next game.
, it is inevitable that the spot in the European competition will not be guaranteed by then.
"Unfortunately, we met Chelsea who were in good form. Facing the Blues, who are the best in the world, we failed without any reason. I think this is not because we are not strong enough, but because our opponents are too evil. Maybe
Even if Manchester United meets today's Chelsea, they will inevitably be massacred. My most important job now is to make the players forget today's disastrous defeat and focus on the following games. One defeat does not mean anything.
No one can deny that our boys are the best at what they do!"
In an interview after the game, Moyes, who was a little embarrassed due to the team's disastrous defeat, expressed some views on the game.
"Perhaps Chelsea regards us as a warm-up opponent before the Champions League, or as a state maintainer. Their goal is not in the league. The huge advantage allows them to concentrate all their energy on the Champions League, where they can perform.
Stage. Of course, Barcelona is not easy to deal with. Of course, if Mr. Scolari can fully trust Callejon and give him enough opportunities, I think Chelsea can still reach the final."
The next opponent, West Ham United, became the target of Chelsea's adjustment. During the game, Scolari fully considered the status and physical condition of the players. Deco, Lampard and others who were slightly tired due to continuous games
None of them made it into the squad, and there was no problem with the prince's physical condition. However, in order to adjust his condition, Scolari asked him to come out in the second half to find a feeling. At this time, nothing was as important as the Champions League semifinals.
Even though they didn't care much about this game, Chelsea still relied on Kalou's blooming performance to defeat the Hammers and continue to lead the standings.
After three consecutive victories, Chelsea has led Manchester United by 10 points. As long as the Blues win the league game against Fulham in the Champions League semi-finals, the Blues will win the Premier League this season three rounds in advance.
Championship, no matter what the subsequent record is, Manchester United will lose the chance to reach the top.
However, that game will obviously not be easy. The two Champions League semi-finals will consume most of the Blues' energy. Moreover, Fulham has not yet been able to successfully land, and there is still the danger of being relegated. They will definitely beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
, so the Blues are very likely to give up this game in order to ensure the Champions League.
This means that Manchester United is very likely to continue to retain the theoretical possibility of winning the championship. Of course, after the semi-finals, there will be a relatively easy schedule. The three opponents behind the Blues are Arsenal who have the strength to compete with Chelsea, Blackburn Rovers and Sander
Landu is a team with no desires and no worries about relegation in the European war. Chelsea's chance of falling here is small to infinite. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend it to Qidian ()
