Rome Bound Part 6

Ok, so I know you all hate it when I talk about football in my blog but I don't care. So here's how I see Chelsea's hopes in the three leagues/cups I care about...


Premier League

While it is feasible that Chelsea could win the Premier League it's highly unlikely. The truth is that the team have suffered so many injuries that consistency is almost impossible, and combined with the fact that it is Luiz Feliepe Scolari's first season as coach and that he has the smallest squad in many years the likelihood of them winning is very low. I think they will probably come second, possibly third but not first. That ship has, in my opinion, already sailed.


UEFA Champions League

I think Chelsea can still do really well in Champions League. Chelsea have a very attacking style of play with Scolari, which I love, and things are just starting to come right with the defence really tightening up and the midfield working well with the forward three. Who knows what will happen? If Chelsea string a few good results together, like they have started doing now, they will have the confidence to win. With Drogba being an amazing player and starting to show signs of getting better perhaps he can help the team to lift their game and then I think they will go very far. They probably won't win it this season, but I think that they will win it next season simply because it'll be Scolari's second season in charge and he will have all the money he wants at the end of this season to buy players to fit into what he wants to do. I see good times coming ahead.


FA Cup

Chelsea have done ok in the FA Cup so far this season, and I don't see them suddenly doing badly. I think they want to win it, and they might just do it this season, who knows...


End of the day, Chelsea have struggled with a smaller squad and injuries this season, as well as inexperience, but I don't think it is the end for them. Financially they are in a brilliant position, with no debt, and they have great players and a wonderful budget so as to get even more brilliant players. This is not the end, it's the same thing that all teams go through when you change coach, and it's to be expected.
