As a die-hard Chelsea fan, I really love and hate it!Our Blues are worth a whopping 9At 900 million euros, owner Boehly is even wilder than in the Abu era, but this season has been a nightmare. The management is chaotic, and the situation of the team is difficult to describe, how can people not feel distressed?
Our Premier League performance this season has been a slip of glasses, with 28 points and 10th place, a full 12 points off Arsenal in the top four. The FA Cup barely reached the fourth round, and although the EFL Cup reached the semi-finals, the situation was not optimistic. Especially the recent game against Middlesbrough was a nightmare.
Middlesbrough, the Championship team, is worth only 67.25 million euros, but they beat us 1-0. It's not just a loss in one game, it's more like a slap in the face to the value of our giant team. Pochettino has used the remnants in response to the injury wave. Eleven players are out injured, including the likes of Robert Sanchez and Marc Cucurella, not to mention Nicolas Jacquesson, who is absent from the national team.
The starting lineup of Bo Shuai in this game is worth 4600 million euros, theoretically enough to crush the opponent. But the situation on the pitch was a big surprise. We played too abstractly, with 72 per cent possession, 18 shots on goal and five on target, but we just couldn't score. Especially Palmer, who was super empty-footed and made him the most embarrassing presence in the game. In the 63rd minute of the game, Boshuai replaced Enzo, who performed well, which I really didn't understand, it was like cutting himself off.
Losing to Middlesbrough was not only a mistake in strength, but also a collapse in tactics and mentality. It was not only a shame that we had the upper hand but lost to a weaker opponent, it was a travesty of the current state of the team.
Despite this, we are not out of the game yet and there is still a chance to turn the game back at home in the second leg. I'm still saying that, as a die-hard Chelsea fan, I'm here to support you win or lose. Let's hope the team learns our lesson and surprises us in the next game. Blues, come on!
