All I wish 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 struggle with all we have now.
When each single participant is placing in 100% effort on the pitch on the identical time, you’ve got a MUCH higher likelihood 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 techniques.
If Chelsea’s gamers, and supervisor to be truthful, can strategy these final 5 video games in the best approach, then there isn’t a 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 essential 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 now 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 more likely to occur. So we have now to do what we will do to make the most of that.
Take this weekend for instance, if Chelsea beat Everton at house, then we’ll go above Nottingham Forest on aim distinction as a result of they’ve their FA Cup semi last towards Manchester Metropolis this weekend and aren’t enjoying within the league till subsequent Thursday towards Brentford. So we might crank up the strain 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 combination this season so something might occur, however I absolutely anticipate Toon to win that one and keep forward of us regardless.
And once more, what can also 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 recreation in hand over them and are degree on factors so we will draw back from them by three factors.
So all of this makes Saturday’s recreation completely large. It’s an opportunity to drag again some factors and stick the strain again on these above us. Take it recreation by recreation, after which take into consideration the following 4. Win this, then go to the following 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 should go away to Crystal Palace after Brentford and that’s no straightforward place to go and win at.
We in fact play towards each of them in these last video games as properly so we will simply put it again in our personal palms, and in addition to that, Toon additionally go away to Arsenal.
It might all come all the way down to our last recreation away at Forest on the twenty fifth of Might. However what we will do earlier than that one is ready 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 incorrect, NOW is the time to struggle, and NOW is the time to go away 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 have faith, however I do have hope. And it’s by no means over till it’s over.
Let’s go Chels!
