Easy Path to Revival For Chelsea FC

 

Chelsea FC has a very rich history, especially during the 21^st century. Their performances last season  fell below their good standards and a revival to their glorious times remains the target this season. 

With its takeover by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich in June 2003 and the arrival of coach Jose Mourinho, the eccentric Portuguese, who aptly referred to himself as ‘the special one’’, they won virtually  every trophy in club football history. Three years ago, in 2021, they won the UEFA Champions League. Events outside football led to the exit of Abramovich and the emergence of some new owners led by American businessman Todd Boehly.

 

THE NEW CHELSEA FC

The arrival of a new ownership for Chelsea FC also led to a total overhaul of the entire team and this led to the arrival of Coach Mauricio Pochettino. The Boehly-led group has bought a full squad, spending over a billion British pounds. Getting the team to gel has become a daunting task for the coach. So far Chelsea FC has won four matches, drawn three, and lost four.

Chelsea FC took the 12^th position in last season’s English Premier League, their worst position since the 1993/94 season. Their four goals to one triumph over Tottenham Hotspur FC, last week was a major confidence boost for the players and the entire team. Getting another victory over English Premier League titleholders, Manchester City FC, on 12^th November, would be a genuine and easy shortcut to restore their quest back to stardom.

 

On assuming his new role as Chelsea FC Coach, Pochettino affirmed his vision and mindset about winning by saying thus;

‘‘The objective is to win because football is about winning. We will have good times, create good relationships, and have a nice environment and relationship with people, but the most important thing in the end is to win.

‘If you win, it helps develop all the other things. Football is about results, how you achieve that is different because we are people that care about the way we achieve the results………….

 

CONSISTENT VICTORIES SHORTCUT  TO RESURGENCE FOR CHELSEA FC

Sunday’s match against Manchester City FC remains a very good opportunity for Pochettino to prove to skeptics that their victory over Tottenham FC was no fluke but a result of his managerial acumen. A duel with probably the world’s greatest football tactician is never an easy one. Pep Guardiola’s team stands solid in whatever situation with seasoned and a well-oiled squad that can adapt to overwhelm every opposition, as they come!

Their victory over Tottenham FC last Monday covered the profligacy of the Chelsea FC players in several missed goals and tactical laxity against Tottenham FC.  They need to take their chances as they come as they might not get the same listless opportunities (against Manchester City FC) as they did against two-man short Tottenham FC. Getting a draw would help sustain their confidence from their last match, but anything short could wipe out the newfound confidence that their large margin triumph on Monday has given the team. Former Manchester City player Cleve Palmer affirmed his expectations for them to continue their good form on Sunday against Manchester City FC and do hope the same passion runs through the entire team.
