Chapter 344: Chelsea Under Pressure
The interview with Sports England Channel has caused a lot of repercussions in various countries, through this interview, more people have learned about and recognized this talented player, and it is also this interview that has broken the various ratings of Sports England TV and the Internet, and Jones's popularity can be seen.
Jones's fans are also active at this time, more and more new fans are paying attention to Jones, Jones's exclusive interview has also led to the action of many big companies, they are ready to invite Jones to be an endorsement, for a while, Chelsea's commercial department phone call was almost blown up.
Despite the constant praise of Chelsea, Jones could also feel the atmosphere inside the squad as it never had been more solemn, with a huge pressure hanging over their heads during training.
This is because of the team's unbeaten record, as Chelsea have a chance to break Arsenal's unbeaten record in the Premier League! Even the unbeaten record in the top five leagues, 58 games for AC Milan in Serie A, 49 games for Arsenal in the Premier League, 38 games for Real Sociedad in La Liga, 36 games for Hamburg in the Bundesliga, and 32 games for Nantes in Ligue 1.
Chelsea's 15-game unbeaten run last season, plus 23 this season, is now 38 games unbeaten, just 11 games shy of Arsenal's 49 and AC Milan's 58.
And Chelsea is expected to set a new record for points in the league championship, the record for the highest points for a Premier League team to win the championship, is Chelsea's 95 points in the 2004-05 season, Chelsea's 93 points last season, and only two points short of breaking this record, now Chelsea has reached 65 points, as long as it wins 10 more games, a draw will break its own record for 13 years, if you win 12 games, you will break 100 points to win, and it is very likely that Chelsea will do it now.
The Chelsea team led by Mourinho still retains this record, and in the 2004-05 season, Chelsea conceded only 15 goals in total, which is the record for the fewest goals conceded in the history of the Premier League in a single season, which is the same as the record of the English top league, or the season of League One, Preston also conceded only 15 goals in the 1988 season, and it is impossible for Chelsea to do it this season, and Mourinho during his tenure, Chelsea has never lost in the home league, 46 wins and 14 draws in 60 games, Stamford Bridge has also become hell for the visitors.
The players who helped Mourinho do just that were Chelsea's classic 11-man line-up: Cech, Pacos Ferreira, John Terry, Carvalho, Gallas; Makellele, Lampard, Essien; Robben, Duff; Drogba.
This season's Chelsea, so that other teams are really unstoppable, but also smashed all kinds of records in the Premier League, Chelsea in addition to their own excellent performance, they are also very lucky, competitors are also collectively off the chain, for the current Chelsea, the defending champion is not too difficult, in the case of a good league situation, they are also more favorable to force them to attack the Champions League.
It's not good for Chelsea to sign in the Champions League, but Juventus and Paris have encountered a lot of trouble, Real Madrid and Paris are hard to say, Chelsea drew the hard bone of Barcelona, and the competition between Juventus and Tottenham.
This year's Chelsea and Manchester City are expected to become the first treble winners of domestic competitions, namely the Premier League champion, the English League Cup, and the FA Cup.
Chelsea are largely firmly in control of the domestic league title, and in the Carabao Cup they are half-footed in the final, and the current suspense is the FA Cup, after knocking out Nowitz, it will take four teams to win the title, and this year Chelsea are expected to complete this feat.
Chelsea are currently on track to become the first team to win the quadruple in Premier League history this year: EFL Cup, Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League,
There is no quadruple winner of the league + European competition + FA Cup + League Cup, the English Premier League, referred to as the Premier League, is a professional football league under the English Football Association, one of the five major leagues in Europe, consisting of 20 teams.
The Super League is responsible for the specific operation. Founded on February 20, 1992, the English Premier League is the highest level of the English league system, formerly known as the English Football League, and the bottom three of each season are relegated to the second division.
The Premier League has also long been considered the best league in the world, with a fast pace, fierce competition, and a large number of strong teams, it has become one of the most popular sporting events in the world and the highest-paid football league.
The UEFA Champions League, referred to as the Champions League, is an annual football competition hosted by the Union of European Football Associations, representing the highest honor and level of European club football, and is considered to be the highest quality, most influential and highest-level club competition in the world, and is also one of the world's highest-money football and sporting events.
The predecessor of the Champions League was the European Club Champions Cup created in the 1955/1956 season, and in the 1992/1993 season, UEFA officially revised the format and name of this cup, so the tournament was renamed the current UEFA Champions League, and the old name European Club Champions Cup was applied to the current championship trophy, counting the European Champions Cup era, Real Madrid won a total of 10 championships, followed by AC Milan 7 times, Bayern Munich and Liverpool, Barcelona 5 times, and Ajax, who won the title four times.
The English FA Cup, referred to as the FA Cup, is a men's knockout football cup named and hosted by the English Football Association, the English FA Cup is the world's oldest football competition, and football clubs at all levels in England conduct one-on-one knockout rounds, and in the FA Cup, there are often low-level clubs to eliminate high-level clubs.
The League Cup, the full name of the English League Cup, is called the English Football League Cup, which is a competition between all 92 clubs in England regardless of level, this cup was established by the Football League in 1962 in order to allow each club to have a knockout system based on the competition outside the league to challenge the FA Cup run by the English FA, at that time the FA Cup was much higher in the hearts of fans than the league.
If you count the Community Shield, the UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup, then the Premier League still has a quadruple crown, Manchester United won the Premier League in 1999, the FA Cup, the Champions Cup, the Club World Cup
Liverpool won the FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Community Shield in 2001
Manchester United won the Premier League, Champions Cup, Community Shield and Club World Cup in 2008.
This unprecedented accolade has inevitably made the players more concerned about winning and losing, fearing losing, panicking and falling before they can break the record, and the Premier League schedule is really breathless.
Jones can't imagine if he would really be overwhelmed by the schedule if he played every game, and Jones has already experienced how horrible the Premier League schedule is!
Kodic also has to rotate, and Chelsea can't force the main team to win all the games, so they can only rotate in a targeted manner, and Kodic will come on the bench to cope with relatively unimportant games.
