CHAMPIONS 09-10 |
A dissapointing 6th place finish which was our worst ever finish in the Roman era which is the only blot on our PERFECT season. We even finished below the Magpies and Spurs who parted company with Harry Redknapp yesterday. RDM did help us out in the league and we did beat teams well but much of the damage was done in the infamous AVB era.Anyways moving on from all that, the guys from BLEACHER REPORT UK recently published 6 reasons why they think that Chelsea can be crowned England’s champions again .These reasons are very apt and gives every Chelsea fan a reason to be excited and ecstatic. We highly recommend our readers to read them-
HERE IS WHAT THE GUYS FROM BLEACHER REPORT posted-
All in all, last season will go down as one of the most memorable in Chelsea's history, if not the most memorable.With an FA Cup victory and the all-important Champions League trophy now at Stamford Bridge, it was a successful campaign.But Chelsea's league position was quite the opposite, with the dramatic win over Bayern Munich being the only reason Chelsea are competing in next year's Champions League competition at all.The Blues will want to be be far more competitive in the league in the 2012-13 season, and with Roberto Di Matteo locking up a permanent manager's role, can the Blues regain some domestic dominance to add to their European title?
1. REIGINING EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS TAG
Saying that Chelsea's spending power will be a factor in a league that has Manchester City might seem a bit ridiculous.But Chelsea's European triumph may be a key factor in attracting the biggest names to Stamford Bridge.Chelsea have already been active in the transfer market, signing German Marko Marin and highly-rated Belgian winger Eden Hazard.These players may be what Chelsea need to add some youth and pace to the side. Add to them players like Hulk and Gregory van der Wiel, who have been long-term targets for the Blues, and you have some real quality to start off next season.
2 . UNDERDOG STATUS WILL HELP
Most seasons, Chelsea expected to be one of the teams that will be competing to be the Premier League winners.But since the emergence of Manchester City as big players in the English game, Manchester has looked like monopolising the title challenges.After Chelsea's below-par league performance last season, they aren't very fancied to lift the trophy in 2013, but this slight underdog status had been working in Chelsea's favour in the last few months. With most eyes on the two Manchester clubs to be battling for the title, the pressure is off Chelsea somewhat, and they can go about their business throughout the season and perform well.
3. PLAYERS FULL OF CONFIDENCE
The lads are all together and full of confidence... |
Chelsea are understandably on cloud nine right now. Who wouldn't be?They are the newly crowned champions of Europe and have finally gotten their hands on the Holy Grail they wanted so badly.This will obviously give all the players a massive confidence boost, knowing that they are capable of beating the best teams in the continent, even when the odds are stacked heavily against them.Hopefully, under the guidance of Roberto Di Matteo, the players can take this confidence and use it to their advantage in the way they approach league games.
There is no doubt about it; the Premier League has become a far more open league in recent seasons.Points were being dropped all over the place by all teams, and that includes the bigger sides in the league.Arsenal had one of the worst starts to the Premier League imaginable but managed to battle back to gain third place, and the driving seat for the title changed hands many times.For Chelsea, it started well and got progressively worse under Andre Villas-Boas, but then fortunes changed when Roberto Di Matteo took over.If Chelsea could have kept up their form during the latter stages of the season for the entire campaign, they could have crashed the Manchester clubs' party.The open nature of the league could count against any club in the league, but on the other side of that, it gives any of the top clubs a shot at winning the league if they can keep up a good run of results.
ROB finally got the JOB and everyone's really happy with his appointment.. |
Nobody is quite sure how he did it, but he changed Chelsea to a winning side in a matter of months.It could be a matter of luck, tactics or just that the players took to him, but something changed in the air at Stamford Bridge when Roberto Di Matteo stepped in to Andre Villas-Boas' shoes.Many of Chelsea's big players have expressed their admiration of Di Matteo and that they would be delighted if he was to be offered the job on a full-time basis.The players have finally gotten their wish. Di Matteohas been offered a contract and can be given an opportunity to build the Chelsea team in a a way he would like.
This isn't an advantage that's exclusive to Chelsea, but it's an advantage all the same.During the end of a Premier League campaign, legs can get tired and minds run down, and concentration and focus can slip when the finishing line is in sight.Manchester City could have walked away with the league following their start, but as Manchester United crept up on them, their nerves jangled and they dropped points.Chelsea have won the Premier League three times, so the senior players will know what it takes to close out a season should they be in a position where they are fighting for the title as the campaign draws to a close.
A new era awaits for CHELSEA FC.... |
The way the season turned around was phenomenal and the players now know they can beat any team be at Barcelona, Napoli, Bayern Munchen anyone the Blue players know anything is possible and will be very confident next season. The premier league is now even more open now any team can beat anyone, Wigan showed that so we can expect the Manchester Clubs to slip up as well as the league has become really very competitive.
RDM did something at SW6 which no other manager has ever done. He's a fan's favorite the players adore him he loves the Club and his legacy with the club looks to continues as he has signed a new two year deal in Mr. Roman's quest to rehabilitate the team and start a new golden era at Chelsea Football Club with a string of new generation of players.
The Blues have been challenging for the title almost every season they are up there as they battle to be crowned England's top team. With the likes of JT,Lamps, Essien still there the new Chelsea team will not lack mettle and will have enough experience in them to battle it out with the other 19 teams with some fighting for the Championship, some for the European places and other battling out for their lives in order to be crowned Premier League Champions.
