All I need to see from our gamers in these final 5 video games is 100% effort, whether or not that’s then sufficient for us to get Champions League soccer or not, solely time will inform. However on the very least, we have now to battle with all we have now.
When each single participant is placing in 100% effort on the pitch on the identical time, you’ve gotten a MUCH higher probability of success. In soccer you want a powerful mentality as a lot as you want the standard. You want depth as a lot as you want creativity, and also you want coronary heart and need as a lot as you want good ways.
If Chelsea’s gamers, and supervisor to be honest, can method these final 5 video games in the correct method, then there isn’t any motive in any respect why we can’t qualify for the Champions League this season. Am I assured? Nope. However I’m not out on the pitch and it’s most necessary that these out on the pitch go into these video games with confidence – it doesn’t matter if I’ve it or not.
Granted, mathematically it’s not in our palms and it’s a incontrovertible fact that if we qualify for the UCL now then it is going to be as a result of others above us drop factors. However the latter is VERY doable and is definitely extremely prone to occur. So we have now to do what we are able to do to benefit from that.
Take this weekend for instance, if Chelsea beat Everton at house, then we are going to go above Nottingham Forest on aim distinction as a result of they’ve their FA Cup semi last towards Manchester Metropolis this weekend and will not be enjoying within the league till subsequent Thursday towards Brentford. So we may crank up the stress on them and hand the onus to Forest.
With Metropolis not enjoying both, we have now an opportunity to get only one level behind them on Saturday.
The downer is that Newcastle, who’re simply two factors forward of us proper now, are house to Ipswich City. I imply, the away aspect have crushed us 4-2 on mixture this season so something may occur, however I absolutely anticipate Toon to win that one and keep forward of us regardless.
And once more, what can be in our favour is that Aston Villa are within the different FA Cup semi last this Sunday so they don’t play within the league. We even have a sport in hand over them and are stage on factors so we are able to draw back from them by three factors.
So all of this makes Saturday’s sport completely large. It’s an opportunity to drag again some factors and stick the stress again on these above us. Take it sport by sport, after which take into consideration the subsequent 4. Win this, then go to the subsequent one. Something is feasible.
Chelsea want each Forest and Toon to slide as much as get again within the UCL locations in these final video games, or they want Metropolis to have one other wobble which I can’t see now.
However Forest have some powerful video games too, they must go away to Crystal Palace after Brentford and that’s no straightforward place to go and win at.
We after all play towards each of them in these last video games as effectively so we are able to simply put it again in our personal palms, and in addition to that, Toon additionally go away to Arsenal.
It may all come all the way down to our last sport away at Forest on the twenty fifth of Could. However what we are able to do earlier than that one is about ourselves up for it to be in our palms once more.
Enzo Maresca, Reece James, Cole Palmer, Marc Cucurella, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Levi Colwill, Nicolas Jackson, and everybody else round you, NOW is the time to face up, NOW is the time to show the doubters flawed, NOW is the time to battle, and NOW is the time to depart all of it on the market. Simply play with depth, play direct, transfer the ball fast, rise up the pitch fast, and present us one thing to be entertained by and applaud.
I won’t believe, however I do have hope. And it’s by no means over till it’s over.
Let’s go Chels!
