Nothing new from this “new” Chelsea led by Mauricio Pochettino
The world knows about the troubles of the “blues” last season when they spent more than 600 million euros and took 12th place at the end of the Premier League. Now they are doing something similar with the money, but the epilogue is the same, after two rounds, only 1 point.
Under the boss’s leadership, the American multibillionaire Tod Boehly, the club from West London has spent 385 million euros on arrivals this summer (so far). Last weekend he came to the opposite, eastern end of the British capital, and had a similar time as he did in most of the away games last season.
Chelsea has no one to blame for the West Ham defeat but themselves.
The Blues managed to equalize through Chukwuemeka. After the bad start of the match, he crowned a long action with a powerful shot, and then the guests from Stamford Bridge were awarded a penalty. Tragedian – the expensive Enzo Fernadez. He kicked desperately. Areola stopped the ball. And he deserved the title the player of the match at the end.
Tragedian number two is Disasi. The Chelsea stopper “sold” the ball with a bad pass in the 53rd minute, and then he didn’t even have time to close Michael Antonio, who finally shot, because he had nothing to do in a not-easy situation, and he hit the opposite corner himself – 2:1
Newcomer, the most expensive transfer in the Premier League, Moses Caicedo, around whom Chelsea and Liverpool were in a war all summer, conceded a penalty in the 92nd minute. Manchester City’s failed signing of Lucas Paqueta was the executor.
Chelsea had the possession, more shots at goal, but it doesn’t count in football. “That’s football.
Teams like ours have to find the right balance, and on Sunday, we didn’t do a few actions in the right way, and we conceded goals. We created many chances and were good in the first half. We should have decided the match then. I’m disappointed, but this is just the beginning. We have to trust the process. I think we will be stronger and we will be competitive” said Pochettino.
The fans and everyone who follows Premier League were expecting much more from a team that spends more money than the clubs from Saudi Arabia. The truth is that most of the expensive players aren’t delivering as expected, like Mudryk and Caicedo.
In the next round, Chelsea will play against Luton at home and will try to finally get a win this season, while West Ham will play away against Brighton.
