Chelsea are not getting out of sluggishness. There is a reason. Only 10 players were put on the injured list.
Chelsea are on a different course this season than they have been in many years. There were also internal problems such as changing the owner and manager, and there was a big change in the player squad. For a number of complex reasons, 메이저사이트 Chelsea are in 10th place in the English Premier League (EPL) with 25 points (7 wins, 4 draws, 6 losses) despite entering the middle of the season.
The gap with the leaders has already widened considerably. Arsenal and Manchester City, who are competing for the championship, have earned 44 points and 39 points, respectively. In addition, Newcastle United (35 points), Manchester United (35 points), and Tottenham Hotspur (33 points), who are fighting for tickets to the European Football Association (UFEA) Champions League (UCL), are also fierce. From Chelsea’s point of view, at least, they need to hurry up and earn points in order to qualify for the European competition.
But it’s not as easy as you think. Since the match against Brentford in the 12th round of the league held in October of last year, only one win has been won in the league so far. It was also a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth, which was in the lower ranks, and lost to Man City, Newcastle, and Arsenal.
The main reason is that most of the key players are on the injured list. Almost to the point where we can build a best 11 lineup.
Chelsea currently have 10 injured. Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, defenders Ben Chilwell, Wesley Popana, Rhys James, midfielders Ruben Loftus-Cheek, N’Golo Kante, Mason Mount, and attackers Raheem Sterling, Christian Pulisic and Armando Broya are all injured. there is.
Still, since they made a storm in the transfer market this summer, they were able to appoint key players up to the starting lineup. Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Marc Cucurella, Kalidou Koulibaly, Mateo Kovacic and Kai Havertz are still heavily weighted.
The problem is replacement players. This means that there are no players to substitute in the second half. Looking at the last Manchester City match, most of the players who scrambled at the point where a change was needed after conceding were mostly promising players. Lewis Hall, Kani Chuquemeca and Homari Hutchinson are all teenagers. In addition, Sterling and Pulisic were also replaced due to injuries, and director Graham Porter’s head hurt more.
