Football’s First Defender
Chapter 270: 4 wins!
The league championship depends on the stability of the team. After all, 19 opponents in a season, 38 home and away games, a long season, a team wants to win the final league championship, it needs a game, to constantly Victory, whether it is a strong team or a weak team, whether it is a win or two wins, is actually turned into points in the end and is now on the standings.
3 points for a win and 1 point for a tie. It will not affect the accumulation of points due to the strength of the opponent and the final goal difference.
Although Chelsea have won victories against the three giants, Manchester United behind them easily defeated the two mid-lower teams in these two rounds. Chelsea still only maintained a match with one less match. With a two-point lead.
As far as Chelsea’s overall schedule is concerned, some recent opponents have gathered together.
After defeating the other three giants one after another, Chelsea will continue to encounter Manchester City and Everton, these two strong mid-upper teams, and after playing Everton, Chelsea will usher in some relatively easy opponents.
The time entered into December. As the Premier League not only has no winter break, but even for broadcast ratings, there is also a boxing day schedule. Chelsea's schedule for December is full.
5 Premier League games, 1 League Cup quarter-final, and the final round of the Champions League group stage and two club World Cup games.
Not only is the schedule full, but the main thing is that the Club World Cup has to fly to the UAE to play two games. After that, after playing the Club World Cup, it will be a more brutal Premier League Boxing Day game.
Before the weekend league game against Manchester City, Chelsea will play this season's Premier League Cup knockout match with Blackburn in the middle of the week.
In the English League Cup, Chelsea has already reached the quarterfinals by relying on a mixed lineup of substitutes and youth teams. In theory, only need to play three more games, Chelsea will have a chance to win the final championship, Ancelotti. There was no reason to send members of the youth team to train.
It’s just that, after all, the previous game was played hard by some substitutes, so Carvalho, Alex, Belletti, Carumiquel, etc., who worked before, still all appeared on the stage, just in the middle. In the frontcourt, some youth team players were replaced with big killers like Drogba.
It's just that Blackburn, who is in the middle of the league, this time the English League Cup knockout is at home, but there is no plan to easily let Chelsea pass.
In the development of professional football to the current commercial model, for these small and medium-sized clubs, the Premier League championship and even the qualification of the Champions League are beyond expectation. So if you want to win the honor of the team, you can only take advantage of the wealthy team, when the domestic cup is not paying attention, and take the cold to see if you can "steal" a championship trophy.
It is not easy for Blackburn to reach the top 8 of the British League Cup. This time the draw is still at his home court. Blackburn, who is sitting on the home court, will play all the main players, hoping to go further and reach the semi-finals.
However, Chelsea's strength does still have an advantage. Even if this lineup is not well coordinated, but in the game, Blackburn is still playing.
It’s just that Blackburn’s game is very tough. During the game, not only was it on the defensive end, but all the players ran hard. Chelsea’s offensive team played a bite-like defense, and they were also exceptionally decisive on the offensive end without being too complicated. His tactic is to rely on two full-backs to use their personal abilities to complete the cross. And when there is a chance to set the ball, send more offensive points to the frontcourt, try to seize every opportunity and strive for goals.
Although the tactics of the two sides did not form a confrontational battle in the game, the two teams finally relied on the play of their respective forward lines and each scored two goals.
In the regular time, the two sides drew 2 to 2 and entered overtime.
Although Ancelotti sent Malouda, Anelka, and Ballack in the second half to step up the offense, Blackburn, who played at home, performed extremely well on the defensive end and defended himself. At the end of the second half, and 30 minutes of overtime, the game was dragged into a penalty shootout.
In the penalty shoot-out, the home team made all five free throws and Chelsea made a penalty kick. Drogba, who played third, was shot by the Blackburn goalkeeper. Magically saved, Chelsea just lost in the penalty shootout and regrettably stopped in the top 8 of the British League Cup.
Although they have lost the opportunity to advance to the English League Cup, this is just a missed cup title with a low gold content. Chelsea’s goal of the Premier League this season and the Champions League double-line championship does not have much impact.
In the weekend league, Chelsea went to Manchester to challenge Manchester City. Manchester City, which has continued to recruit recruits aggressively this season, has made a huge improvement in strength, although this season cannot further threaten the four
