Three league
games and three
emphatic
victories of
world class
calibre. That's
Chelsea
2014/2015 for you. With the arrival of
Cesc Fabrigas (Mr Finesse) and Diego
Costa(Man of Steel) this Chelsea team is
looking 'champion like'.
The team feels like it was well built after
lots of thought to compensate for all the
glaring deficiencies that made it lose out
on all fronts last season.
Jose "The Special One" Mourinho seems
adamant to stop the two season win less
streak in two different clubs that befell
him.
Defensively Chelsea is looking quite better
and rejuvenated with the arrival of Felipe
from Athletico Madrid and the exit of
Ashley Cole and co.
I believe this acquisition will give Chelsea
the advantage of having to rest John
Terry(though still classy) in some games
and rotate the defence line with for
example, Ivanovic sliding into central
defence to partner Cahill in place of
Terry, without losing out in quality.
With wonder kid goalkeeper, Thibaut
Courtois, back from Athletico Madrid in
place of the ageing but still excellent Petr
Cech, Chelsea has not only one of the best
goal keepers in the world, but assured it's
future in some sense in this all important
department.
Watching Chelsea tear apart the
impressive Everton by six goals to three in
Everton, one can only marvel at the ease
it showed when it needed to score goals.
Diego Costa's presence upfront is way a
different story from what the attackers
last season offered Chelsea and its fans.
He is irritating to opposing defenders
because he not only scores or creates
scoring chances, he bullies defences and is
always in their face. He has scored in
every game so far.
The presence of Fabregas at the apex of
the midfield line bothering attack, gives
Chelsea the much needed creativity and
finishing touch it needs to give value to
the Mourinho style of compact defending
to counter the opponents by the defence
splitting passes.
The midfield however might be a cause of
concern as they still seem to lack that
player who wins tonnes of balls from the
opponent, but that might not be a problem
if the team can keep a compact central
midfield shape when not in possession. It
is a question of defending in numbers to
help the weak link.
Many might argue that it is just the
beginning and too early to crown them in
anything and I fully agree.
We are yet to see Chelsea take on other
title favourites in Manchester City,
Arsenal, Liverpool or local rivals
Tottenham, but if the last season has told
us anything about Mourinho's Chelsea this
time around, it has little problem
disposing of the big teams but lost the
titles due to points dropped against the
relatively smaller teams, like relegation
threatened Sunderland last year.
How will this team deal with other teams
who might come at them with packed
defences and laying back, inviting Chelsea
to attack? Well, in Fabregas and Diego
Costa they might have found the antidote
to that.
In all, only time will tell if this Chelsea
team will win everything as it is built to. I
personally think they can short of any
catastrophes, but with the Champions
League set to start in earnest and provide
distractions, we shall know more soonest.
This Chelsea side is solid, good, strong,
quick and defensively well built,
experienced and in Jose Mourinho have a
tactically strong coach/manager. So look
out everyone, this might just be Chelsea's
year.
