Chelsea's schedule has been extremely intensive recently. After playing against Liverpool on the weekend, the next round of the league will be held in midweek. The opponent is the newly promoted Hull City, and there is another league match on the weekend, against the Black Cats.
Deland, and three days later, he will travel to Rome for the fourth round of the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, and then play a violent away game on the weekend. Five games in two weeks, which is extremely scary.
Chelsea's game against Hull City was an away game. Although Prince was unable to play due to a red card suspension, no one thought that this newly promoted team, which had not won a victory since the beginning of the game, could cause any trouble to the Blues.
"We came here just to win. It's not that I look down on our opponents, but our strong strength does not allow us to fail. We will keep moving forward until we finally win the championship." Scolari did not care about his opponents at all.
Feelings, he confidently issued a declaration to many reporters at the press conference.
But things were not as simple as he thought. The result of the game made the old coach feel ashamed. The team that always seemed to be no threat to him forced a draw with the powerful Chelsea at home.
Prince was suspended, Scolari returned to the 4231 formation, Lampard served as the attacking midfielder, Malouda returned to the starting lineup, and some targeted rotations were made in other positions. In the intensive schedule, he must
It is necessary to ensure the condition and physical fitness of the whole team.
However, even if Chelsea performed roller skating, their strength did not drop much. It was not comparable to Hull City, who were the top players, but the top players counterattacked.
At his home court, Hull City's coach completely abandoned his face and defended the city goal in normal games. Through the players' hard work and tactical fouls, although Chelsea was attacked for 90 minutes, he held on to 0:0.
The score was a hard-won draw.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Hull City players at home even cried with joy, while the Chelsea players who had not been able to defeat their opponents hung their heads, obviously extremely frustrated.
It seems that Scolari's arrogant words before the game are still fresh in his mind, but he was ruthlessly overthrown by his opponent in the blink of an eye. Facts have proved that no matter how big his mouth is, it is useless, and Scolari was slapped mercilessly by his opponent.
"If Callejon was on the court, would the result of the game have changed? Would the opponent not dare to give Chelsea so many free kicks in dangerous positions?" Facing the reporter's question, Scolari had a very rich expression on his face.
.
"Everyone knows that Callejon won't be able to play in this game, so what's the point of mentioning this. My players worked very hard in this game and the tactics were very standard. But it turns out that luck was not on our side today, and the opponent
That shameless 10-0-0 formation killed an artistic game and their normal game was to stop the bus in front of the goal, so a draw is no surprise."
However, his quibbles cannot explain the fact that the team did not take all three points. Two consecutive draws have caused Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool at the bottom of the standings to catch up. The point gap with Chelsea is only two points, and the outcome of a game
That's all.
Three days later, Chelsea faced the challenge of Sunderland. The biggest highlight of this game may not be whether Chelsea can reverse the decline and win. It is whether Scolari will, as he said, really put the core together.
Player Callejon was excluded from the squad.
Facts have proved that Brazilians really do this.
There is no room for change at all. He is not included in the starting lineup or the substitute list. It is the fate of the prince to watch the game directly from the stands.
The day before yesterday, Emma returned to the United States. The difference from when she came was that she was injured and had a diamond ring and an engagement ring.
And next, the prince will spend a period of time alone.
The prince also expected that he would not be included in the starting lineup, but he did not expect that the coach was so ruthless and did not even give him a place as a substitute.
Do you really want to push the conflict to the end? The prince asked softly in his heart, as if the person standing in front of him was Scolari.
Abramovich, the helmsman of Chelsea, usually comes to the stadium to watch the team's games unless he has something special to do. He has the largest box at Stamford Bridge. But today, besides him, there is another person, and that is the prince.
"Joselet, do you think you will win today's game?" Abramovich seemed to have pointed out.
"I think as long as the team performs normally, a team of Sunderland's level may only cause a little trouble for the team, and the result of the game is obvious." Prince shrugged, he was very reassured about the strength of his teammates.
"I think so too. What I enjoy most is watching the team win at the Blue Bridge, and my biggest dream now is to bring the Big Ears Cup to this stadium." Abramovich stood up and looked down at the entire stadium.
Stadium, slowly expressed his ambition.
"I will bring the Champions League trophy back and keep it in this stadium, of course, provided that I can play." The prince seemed confident.
"I know that you and Louis have conflicts. No matter who is right or wrong, at least it will have a negative impact on the team. He is the coach and you are the core. If two people who should have a common goal and work together go in different directions, then the team
How can we be on the right track?" It seems that Abramovich's purpose of inviting the prince to the box to watch the game together today is to get the team back on track again.
The prince did not speak, just watched the game quietly, and silence was also his attitude.
When Abu saw that the prince seemed unmoved, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. In his opinion, it was rare for him to be a peacemaker, but the prince did not give him any face. This made him a little embarrassed, who had always been proud.
But he didn't say much. He knew that the prince was an excellent player, and an excellent player could not be a person without a brain. He should be very clear about the purpose of looking for him today, and no longer needed
What's he talking about?
The two of them just watched the game quietly.
Sunderland obviously came prepared today. Although they were facing the powerful Chelsea away from home, they did not want to collapse without a fight. Their full-court press and sharp counterattacks made Chelsea complain endlessly.
Although Lampard scored a goal for Chelsea early on, it was also the 100th Premier League goal scored by the magic lamp. The fans at the scene also chanted the warrior's name to express their gratitude and support for him.
However, Sunderland did not give up, and their counterattack became more and more sharp. In the end, they even suppressed Chelsea, who was playing at home. And at the last moment of the game, they persevered and scored an equalizing goal.
Seeing the Sunderland players celebrating, Scolari's face was livid, and the muscles on his face were clearly visible. He was obviously extremely angry. He lost the ball at the last moment of the game and the three points he got turned into one point. No one could
It was impossible to laugh.
In the box, Abu's expression was equally gloomy. The prince did not speak and quietly left the box. He wanted to comfort his teammates.
Three consecutive draws have made Chelsea no longer the only one in the standings. Manchester United and Arsenal, who won the game, have caught up and scored with Chelsea, while Liverpool is only two points behind in fourth place, competing for the championship.
Tangled together again.
"Three consecutive draws, Chelsea is in a trough"
"Without Callejon, who will save you, my Blue Army"
"The generals are at odds, and the conflicts in the Blues locker room finally surfaced"
"The Blue Army is weak, the beginning of the rout?"
All the media reported this game at length. The extremely powerful Chelsea team that did not belong to the earth at the beginning of the season finally fell. In their view, they had countless stars and the strong joining of the championship coach. The Blues’ goal this season
It is to crush all opponents that appear in front of them, and judging from their performance this season, the Blues do have this trend.
However, as the league and the Champions League unfold, Chelsea's recent record is really worrying. They have three consecutive draws in the league, a very embarrassing result, and at the same time, the championship competition has once again become suspenseful.
Although they ranked first in the Champions League group stage with two wins and one draw, judging from the current state of the team, the possibility of encountering Waterloo is not impossible. If they fail to qualify in the group stage, then Chelsea will really sink.
As for why the Blues experienced such big ups and downs, everyone believes that internal conflicts caused the current situation.
Callejon's erratic behavior angered the rigid and dogmatic coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, and there were obvious cracks between the two most important players in the Blues. Callejon's absence from the game without injury or illness was proof of this, but he was still the same as before.
Scolari preached.
Regarding the future of the Blues, everyone's view is that if the Blues want to continue to move forward, there are only two options.
First, coach Luiz Felipe Scolari and core player Callejon shake hands and reconcile. Only when internal conflicts within the team do not exist will the team be able to exert its greatest combat effectiveness, and only then will the Blues wake up and move on.
Second, choose one of the two, support one and give up the other between the coach and the core players, so that the team can restore peace. Of course, there will definitely be pain between the choices, which must be endured.
If we continue to let the conflicts continue or even escalate as they are now without taking any measures, the Blues' record will continue to plummet. Not to mention the league and the Champions League, maybe next season's Champions League quota will be a problem.
Induced by the media, Blues fans were really panicked at this moment. How could the originally good situation turn into what it is now?
However, despite all the public opinions, Scolari still stubbornly insisted on his own opinion, or in other words, he still didn't like to see the prince, and the prince still went his own way. When he should train, he should sleep. The two seemed to be two parallel lines.
