Chelsea have been so unlucky before the season even started.
Su Yun's 2002-03 season at Chelsea started under such difficult circumstances.
It's really difficult.
The current lineup has many problems, and Su Yun should make some additions this summer. Unfortunately, not only was he unable to replenish the lineup, he even lost some players.
Ayala is gone and Grenchar is injured.
And of course there's the chronically ill Cowell.
These players are all important parts of Chelsea. Their contribution to winning the Premier League championship last season was also great.
Now that they are missing, although it will not be obvious for a while, but as the league progresses, there will definitely be a shortage of personnel. Especially the two wingers, two generals are missing at once, I really don’t know what to do.
The start was not bad.
At the beginning, Chelsea didn't have many problems.
After all, except for Kewell, who was the main player last season, the other main players are still intact.
Even at the beginning, Chelsea relied on the momentum of last season's Premier League championship to sweep all opponents in the Premier League.
In the first four rounds, Su Yun led Chelsea to four consecutive victories, which was very strong.
On August 17th, in the first round of the Premier League, Chelsea defeated Charlton 4-1 away from home.
Very relaxed.
Twelve minutes into the game, Charlton's left-back Koncheski was forced to commit a tactical foul while defending Boboski, who was about to make a solo attack. He was directly sent off by the referee with a red card.
Charlton had a very difficult time surviving relegation last season. In terms of strength, they were far behind Chelsea, let alone one less player.
The rest of the game was completely under Chelsea's control.
Charlton was unable to counterattack.
Zola opened the scoring, Lampard and Good Johnson scored successively. Eto'o, who came off the bench in the end, was the icing on the cake. Charlton scored four goals in the away game.
Four to zero.
Got the first victory.
August 24th will be the highlight of the Premier League.
Second round of the Premier League. Chelsea faces Manchester United at home.
Ferguson indeed broke his promise. He stayed at Manchester United and wanted to wash away his shame. When he announced that he was staying, Manchester United fans were ecstatic. Fans of other teams cursed Ferguson.
Many fans even called Ferguson a liar online.
When he arrived at Chelsea's home court, Ferguson wanted a victory. A victory to help Manchester United get out of last season's shadow.
Unfortunately, at Stamford Bridge, Ferguson lost to Chelsea again.
In this game, Su Yun faced Blanco's fierce attack.
Eto'o kept attacking Blanco's position, and finally opened a gap in Blanco's position at the 71st minute of the second half. Blanco no longer had the energy to defend Eto'o, and was beaten by Eto'o.
Ao suddenly entered the door.
With Eto'o's goal, Chelsea defeated Manchester United 1-0 at home.
August 29th, the third round of the Premier League.
Chelsea plays Southampton away.
Southamps' performance last season was pretty good. They were considered a dark horse in the Premier League. But they were just a dark horse.
In terms of dark horses in recent years, who can compare with Sunderland, who was coached by Su Yun.
Su Yun has more experience in dealing with dark horses than anyone else.
Su Yun had been grinding against Southampton for a while, wearing down Southampton's morale, and then suddenly attacked his opponent.
Hasselbaink opened the scoring, and Terry's header sealed the victory. In the end, Chelsea defeated Southampton 2-0 away from home.
Chelsea's form during this period is truly unbeatable.
Of course it's not over yet.
On September 1st, Chelsea faced Arsenal at home.
In the 50th minute of the game, Vieira was sent off with a direct red card by the referee for retaliating against Lampard in the midfield. Arsenal, without Vieira, was also bloodbathed by Chelsea.
Zola and Lampard each scored one goal, and Hasselbaink scored twice.
Chelsea swept Arsenal 4-0 at home.
At the beginning of the new season, Chelsea won four consecutive games. In particular, they defeated direct competitors such as Manchester United and Arsenal.
At this time, all media outlets have the same view.
Chelsea will continue to dominate the Premier League.
Twelve points in four league rounds. Arsenal and Manchester United both won two, drew and lost in four league rounds, accumulating seven points.
At that time, Chelsea could be said to be the object of praise from all Premier League media.
Those so-called football experts all said that this season is dominated by Chelsea. Chelsea will definitely win another Premier League championship and retain the Premier League championship.
Everyone is optimistic about Chelsea's prospects.
Many football experts believe that Su Yun will establish an era belonging to Chelsea in the Premier League.
Even many Manchester United fans and Arsenal fans greatly admired Chelsea's performance. Chelsea fans online are the most arrogant.
But only until the fourth round.
In the fifth round of the Premier League, Chelsea challenged Blackburn away.
After the death of Jack Walker, Blackburn's performance in the past two years has gone from bad to worse. Even some good players have left Blackburn. Blackburn are among the best in terms of relegation odds in the new season.
Facing such a weak Blackburn, Chelsea failed to win. Instead, they were beaten by Blackburn midfielder David Dunn. They lost to Blackburn 0-1 away from home.
It's just an accident.
Although they received some criticism, in the sixth round of the Premier League, Chelsea regained its strength and defeated a strong opponent at home.
Facing the northern powerhouse Newcastle United at home.
Newcastle was fourth in the Premier League last season and entered this season's Champions League.
Although Newcastle led by Robson also performed well, they were unable to counterattack against Chelsea. Gudjohnsen opened the scoring, and Zola, who was in excellent form this season, sealed the victory.
At the end, Gudjohnsen was the icing on the cake again.
In the end, Chelsea defeated Newcastle 3-0 at home.
Everything seems to be fine.
But after the draw for the first round of the Champions League group stage came out, Chelsea began to be unlucky.
Because Chelsea has entered the group of death again.
This group took everyone's breath away.
Bayern Munich, Milan, Deportivo La Coruna, Chelsea.
Su Yun really wanted to scold UEFA.
I rely on your eighteen generations of ancestors.
I have not offended you. Do you need to deny face to me for two consecutive years?
Since the start of the Champions League group stage, Chelsea's shortage of personnel has become more and more obvious.
On September 19th, Chelsea challenged Milan away from home.
Although Su Yun worked very hard, Chelsea also worked very hard. However, Chelsea lost to Milan 1-2 in the away game. Hasselbaink took the lead with a goal, but soon Milan's Inzaghi scored twice.
Inzaghi is like a ghost.
A good lesson for the young Terry. Inzaghi's two goals against offside were both made from Terry's side.
On September 25th, Chelsea faced Bayern Munich at home.
After losing the first game, Su Yun was unwilling to continue losing. So he also used all his main players. Fortunately, Bayern is now in a period of transformation. Especially since Effenberg left Bayern and Germany's new generation midfield leader Bavaria...
Lack came to Bayern.
But he hasn't fully adapted to Bayern yet.
A core midfielder has not adapted to the new team. Of course, the performance of the new team will be greatly affected.
Chelsea defeated Bayern 2-1.
This is all in the Champions League.
However, the Champions League competition has seriously affected Chelsea's performance in the Premier League. This is especially true for Chelsea who are short of personnel.
This is still September.
Since October, Chelsea's performance has obviously begun to decline.
In October, Chelsea's games suddenly increased.
If Chelsea players were able to hold on in September, they would not be able to in October. Chelsea had five Premier League games, three Champions League games, and one League Cup game in October.
The intensity of the competition requires the thickness of the lineup.
It's a pity that Chelsea's lineup is obviously insufficient.
They gradually started to lag behind Arsenal in the league. Manchester United's results were no different from last season. They still lagged behind Chelsea and Arsenal.
This time Chelsea performed well in the Champions League.
In the first round of the group of death, Chelsea joined hands with Milan to emerge from the group stage. They eliminated Bayern and Deportivo La Coruna.
But after the draw for the second round of the group stage, Su Yun could only sigh secretly that he was unlucky.
Because it is another group of death.
Chelsea are placed in a group with Bayer Leverkusen, Inter Milan and Barcelona.
Nothing but anger.
…………
These are Chelsea this season.
The game was very difficult.
Two dead groups in the Champions League group stages completely ruined Chelsea's results.
After more games, Chelsea's injuries gradually increased.
Boboski is Chelsea's right-wing general. Due to Grenjaer's injury, Boboski played as the main player in September and October. He played a lot more games.
In September and October, there were nearly 20 games in total. Boboski played in almost all of them.
At the age of thirty, he had more and more minor ailments.
Moreover, Boboski himself is not a player with outstanding physical condition. When he was at Sunderland, he also suffered a serious injury. Therefore, such an intensive game was unbearable for Boboski.
Of course there were no major injuries.
But when he misses one or two games, it is a huge loss to Chelsea's attacking power.
And Zola, who is in outstanding form this season, is even older.
There were also constant minor injuries.
Su Yun could only keep tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall in order to maintain the competition lineup.
Very difficult.
But Su Yun kept holding on.
This is Su Yun's third season at Chelsea. Although there were some injuries in the first two seasons, they were all minor problems. And none of the core players suffered major injuries.
I have never been so unlucky as this season.
Su Yun's wing play style constructed last season was too restricted.
Kewell was lying on the bed and he didn't know when he would come back. Even if he came back and wanted to return to his original state, he didn't know when. Glenchard's injury was not serious. But he still needed to rest for three months. During this time, he would not know when.
It is supported by Boboski.
On the left wing, Cen Deng is alone.
This embarrassment was reflected in the game.
By February, Chelsea had begun to gradually withdraw from the championship competition this season.
