It is far ahead in the Premier League, and it also took the lead in the Champions League group stage with first place results.
The media's praise of Chelsea has reached the extreme level. The media even said that this season's Chelsea is the strongest Chelsea in Chelsea's history.
Of course, there will be no lack of praise for Su Yun.
Su Yun was praised by the British media as a world-class coach.
But of course.
After entering this season, Chelsea has already won the Charity Shield and the European Super Cup, and is leading the league. In the just-concluded Champions League group stage, Chelsea defeated Lazio 3-0 with a semi-substitute lineup.
.
This state is too overwhelming.
How could the media not praise Chelsea.
Everything goes well.
On October 28th, "France Football" held a press conference again.
This time they announced the list of twenty-three players for the Ballon d'Or and the shortlist for the best coach in Europe.
Chelsea have two players on the 23-man list for the Ballon d'Or.
Desailly, who was in the fifty-man list, was not selected for the twenty-three-man list. This is the weakness of defenders. It is difficult for defensive players to win the favor of these awards. Look at the outstanding defenders in the world, including Maldini and Roberto
.Carlos.
Their performance was outstanding.
Sometimes their performance throughout the year is perfect. But every time they are selected, they don't have a chance.
Offensive players always have an advantage over defensive players.
Such is the case with Desailly.
If we say we won five crowns last season, Williams and Hasselbaink were the best on the offensive end. So to be able to win five crowns, Desailly's contribution to defense was the greatest.
The important thing is that Desailly is Chelsea's captain.
pity!
He is a defender.
Was excluded from the list of twenty-three people.
Williams and Hasselbaink both made this list of twenty-three players.
Among the candidates for the best coach in Europe, Su Yun's name is still prominently on the list. He is placed together with Del Bosque and Hitzfeld.
Although what is announced this time is still only the candidate list.
But Chelsea are still very happy.
Because after eliminating half of the candidates, Williams and Hasselbaink were still selected. At this time, there are not many clubs that can keep these two people.
The only clubs that can keep more than two people are European giants.
For a club like Chelsea to have two players selected is already a great thing.
This is not the end.
In another month, "France Football" will announce the final three names for the Ballon d'Or. Of course, they will be the last by then.
Although the list of twenty-three is only now, European football media are already speculating on the final three for this year's Ballon d'Or.
They are all very similar.
Williams, Raul, Kahn.
All media believe that this year's Golden Globe Award will be born between the three of them.
The three people most likely to win the Ballon d'Or are these three.
After just announcing the list of twenty-three players, Chelsea Club had no time to be happy. The same goes for Su Yun.
Because Chelsea will continue to compete in the Premier League. On the 27th, they played in the Champions League group stage, which was the game against Lazio.
Two days later, on the 29th, Chelsea will challenge Derby County away from home.
During this period, the competition is completely one game every two days.
It's a real high-intensity game.
Chelsea’s bench is pretty thick, but it’s already too much for such a high-intensity game. Chelsea’s players on the road can’t keep their spirits up at all. Even those players who rested in the Champions League group stage performed very poorly in this game.
.After all, although they had a rest in the last game, it was only four days since the last game.
Therefore, the players are very tired. Even players with good physical strength such as Eto'o and Solin feel tired. Chelsea got a draw with great difficulty.
It was a draw with Derby County.
Zero to zero.
Chelsea failed to score for the first time in the league this season.
Chelsea's draw made many strong teams heave a sigh of relief. Because Chelsea has been too strong during this period, with nine wins and one draw in ten games. It pulled the second place Arsenal by ten points, while the third place Manchester United
It was twelve points behind.
This puts a lot of pressure on other teams.
Chelsea seem to make no mistakes.
Now Chelsea are finally level.
Lost two points.
This is great.
If Chelsea continues to be so strong, it is estimated that after half a season, strong teams such as Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Newcastle will lose the motivation to compete.
Fortunately, Chelsea finally got a draw.
It also stopped the winning streak.
If they lose, they will be even happier.
Not only the strong captain breathed a sigh of relief, but even many media were very happy. Because Chelsea's lead is so big just at the beginning of the season. It is easy for the league to lose suspense.
There are actually only two biggest highlights of the Premier League.
One is the ownership of the Premier League champion, and the other is the relegated team. In addition to their two highlights, including the Champions League quota and the UEFA Cup quota are secondary concerns.
If the suspense of the championship disappears in a league, then half of the charm of the league will disappear. The Premier League is no exception.
The media doesn't want that.
The Premier League doesn't want that.
The FA doesn't want that either.
They don't want the league to lose the suspense of the championship so soon. They all hope to see a fierce league. It is best to maintain the suspense of the Premier League championship until the last moment.
It's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed.
Arsenal and Manchester United, currently ranked second and third in the Premier League, failed to seize such a good opportunity.
First up is Arsenal.
It was also affected by the Champions League group stage. After just finishing the Champions League group stage two days ago, Arsenal returned to the Premier League and played Charlton at home. Charlton is a very weak team.
It's the same as Chelsea playing Derby County. They are both teams working hard to avoid relegation.
But at home, Arsenal didn't know if they wanted to win the game too much. They played in chaos.
Moreover, Arsenal's bench is not as thick as Chelsea's.
The last two days of games have left Arsenal completely focused on one thing and at the expense of the other. They simply cannot stand a game of this intensity.
At home, they lost by a huge score of 2 to 4.
Two to four.
Four goals were scored by a team like Charlton, which caused many people to criticize Arsenal.
Such a good opportunity was not seized.
In October, Arsenal's state suddenly became very poor. This was the second time Arsenal lost in these three league rounds. This was all because the games in October were too dense.
Players played ten games in a month, including national team games.
This is no longer an ordinary intensity.
The points are not reduced.
On the contrary, it becomes even wider.
Chelsea lead Arsenal by eleven points.
Eleven points.
This gap is already huge. Now the league has only played less than one-third.
On the other side, Manchester United is in even worse shape.
They arrived at the away game to face Liverpool who were in poor condition. Unexpectedly, Liverpool were in such a sluggish state that they felt like they had been beaten to death after meeting Manchester United. At Anfield, Liverpool surrounded Manchester United, pressing them to the ground and beating them wildly.
A meal.
Manchester United, who were in average form this season, were beaten half to death by Liverpool at Anfield. Manchester United was actually beaten 3-1 by Liverpool, who had no head coach, and lost again.
Everyone sighed.
If Liverpool had been in this state in the league this season, they would already be ranked sixth in the Premier League.
When Chelsea was tied by Derby County, all the media were saying that this was a good opportunity for Arsenal and Manchester United to reduce their points. Many media also cheered for Arsenal and Manchester United.
Even fans of Manchester United and Arsenal expressed optimism. Chelsea will soon face a devilish schedule. They will definitely lose points by then.
Unexpectedly, everyone thinks highly of Arsenal and Manchester United.
Neither team caught it.
Instead, they both lost.
abnormal.
This is the view of all British media.
The Premier League this season is really abnormal. Chelsea's strength is understandable.
Throughout this year, Chelsea has been in good shape. Although the five-time champion does not have enough gold content, they are still champions after all.
But the state of Manchester United and Arsenal is really bad.
No one expected that Manchester United's state was so bad. In the summer, everyone thought that Manchester United's hegemony would continue. But who could have imagined that Manchester United would be like this now.
Manchester United's condition is poor, and Arsenal's condition has also fluctuated.
It can only be said to be abnormal.
…………
After finishing the game against Derby County, Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Chelsea will still play a Champions League group stage match on the 31st, for Chelsea who have already appeared, this game is just a formality. Of course, it is different for Chelsea's opponents.
Chelsea's last game was away to Galatasaray.
Chelsea didn't take it seriously in the last game.
But it is a very important game for Galatasaray.
Lazio has been eliminated from this group. Now Nantes and Galatasaray still have a chance. The current situation is that Nantes has one point more than Galatasaray.
If Galatasaray wants to appear, they can only do so by defeating Chelsea.
And it also depends on the result of another game.
The Nantes club hopes that Chelsea can abide by sports ethics. Su Yun scoffed at their expectations.
Sportsmanship?
What does it have to do with yourself?
Su Yun ignored them. Su Yun left all the main players in London. When he went to Turkey, he even transferred a few youth team players to complete the main lineup. He only brought four people as substitutes.
Seeing Chelsea's squad, the BBC host joked.
"Su Yun is preparing to let Clark enter the eighteen-man roster."
Indeed.
Even Chelsea fans can't name some of the players who played in this game. But Su Yun doesn't care.
If possible, Su Yun wouldn't want to come to Türkiye.
Just let Clark lead the team.
Chelsea of course could not beat Galatasaray. Chelsea lost 0-3 to Galatasaray in the away game. Although they won, Galatasaray did not celebrate at all.
Because Nantes defeated Lazio 1-0 at home.
Although Galatasaray defeated Chelsea, they were still eliminated. They could only go to the UEFA Cup to play the UEFA Cup.
