Chapter 196: Chelsea with internal and external troubles

"We are one step closer to relegation!"

In the post-match interview, Ranieri faced the praise of the media and never mentioned the championship.

He just smiled kindly and repeatedly emphasized the team's mission, from start to finish, to relegation.

"What do you have in store for the upcoming Devil's schedule?"

Ranieri smiled and said: "We will give it our all for relegation. ”

The president of the club, Vichai, is very satisfied with the team's current results, which can be described as shocking.

After tasting the benefits of last season's Premier League, Wichai also gave Steve Walsh more transfer powers in the summer transfer window.

Pearson was fired, and Walsh resigned as athletic director to do his old job as a scout.

But that didn't affect his status in Vichai's heart.

The introduction of N'Golo Kante and Fox, and the renewal of Rossi's contract were all handled by him.

And these players all play an important role.

The eyes of senior scouts are really vicious.

In order to continue to maintain a stable result before Christmas, Vichai invited a monk from his hometown to pray for the team and players.

On Saturday afternoon, Lyicester City travel to take on Swansea City.

Last season, Swansea's midfield and backfield defense were turned upside down by Rossi's ghostly movement.

Although they had a detailed plan to block Rossi before the game.

But Jamie Vardy, the grassroots goalscorer who has scored in 11 games in a row, has left them a little strained.

Under the repeated onslaught of the two, Swansea's defence was shaky.

In the 5th minute, Rossi received a pass from Vardy, successfully countered offside, and pushed the goal.

It was Rossi's ninth goal of the season and his fifth in a row.

Swansea trailed and played a trap defence against Rossi, as did Vardy.

With the top scorers confined to the limit, another player in the Lyicester City forward line stepped up.

Mahrez scored two goals in the 15th and 22nd minutes.

In the first half, Lyicester City led 3-0.

In the second half, Rossi, Kante, and Drinkwater were substituted successively to save their strength and meet the next round of games.

Riyad Mahrez scored his third goal of the game in the 80th minute to complete his hat-trick.

In the end, Lyicester City swept Swansea 4-0.

Due to Manchester City's 0-2 upset defeat to Stokes, Lyicester City reached the top as they wished.

On Tuesday, Lyicester City, who have a double game in a week, host Chelsea.

Defending champions Chelsea are now 14th in the table, with no hope of winning the title, and even European qualification is out of reach.

With such a serious drop in results, Chelsea are struggling both internally and externally.

First of all, on the issue of this summer's signings, Mourinho is looking to make up for the ageing backline, and has been communicating with Everton's centre-back John Stones.

But a summer later, instead of waiting for his favourite Stones, he was rewarded with two Baba and Gilo Boggi, whose combined transfer fees were less than £25 million.

The lack of reinforcement at the back directly led to Chelsea's defense, which was frequently blown up by opponents.

2:2 Swansea,

0:3 Manchester City,

2:3 West Brom,

1:3 Everton,

1:3 Southampton ......

The backline became a ticking time bomb for the team.

And then, on the dressing room side,

In the first round of the match against Swansea, the women's team doctor rushed into the field in stoppage time to treat the injured Eden Hazard, and was yelled at by Mourinho.

As the game was about to wrap up, the Blues wanted to hold on to a win and didn't want to be interrupted.

After the game, the club chose to stand with Mourinho, and the female team doctor was ejected by the club and she was banned from training or matching.

Six weeks later, the female team doctor left the club and took Chelsea to court over her dismissal.

Since the beginning of this incident, there seems to have been an atmosphere of discord within Chelsea that has continued to spread.

Chelsea lost 1-0 at home to promoted Bournemouth last time out, and Mourinho's managerial career at Chelsea has come to the brink.

In this match against Leicester City, Mourinho and his team must win.

Chelsea starting line-up for this game, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

The backline is Cesar Azpilicueta, John Terry, Kurt Zouma and Ivanovic Yovanovic.

In midfield, the back two of Nemanja Matic and Ramirez were the midfielders.

In front of him are Eden Hazard, Oscar and Willian.

The single arrow up front is Diego Costa.

They were almost the main winners last season, but this season John Terry, Yoon Wan's form has dropped badly, and Pedro, Costa and Eden Hazard have not played as well as they should, and these are the problems that plague Chelsea.

On the side of Leicester City, after taking a big lead in the last round, they successively replaced the main team to rest, and in this game, they were able to meet the main team.

The match between Manchester City and Arsenal ended yesterday with both teams winning, with Arsenal currently at the top of the table, followed by Manchester City.

With Manchester United losing, Lyrcester are third with a game in hand.

The players want to use the victory to welcome Christmas.

After referee Clattenburg blew the whistle, the 16th round of the Premier League, the last game, officially started at the King Power Stadium.

Chelsea, who are eager to win, have used the individual abilities of Eden Hazard, Oscar and Willian in the front court to move frequently in the opponent's rib area after the start of the game.

Behind the trio were Nemanja Matic and Ramirez.

Faced with the Ryicester defence, Munirio gave up on passing penetration and instead used his player's individual ability to create a threat on the edge of the box.

If the opponent commits a foul near the penalty area, use the set-piece to threaten the goal.

In this game, the heart of Chelsea's attack, on the left side of Eden Hazard, and against him in defense, it was Mahrez.

Mahrez, who is stronger in attack than in defense, naturally can't defend him.

However, the help of Danny Simpson and Drinkwater prevented Hazard from creating chances.

In the first 10 minutes, Hazard made three attempts to make a successful attempt, all of which were unsuccessful.

This made Mourinho look unhappy on the field.

The grievances between the two began in the first round.

Although Mourinho did not want to interrupt the game, so he prevented the female team doctor from entering the hospital for treatment.

But this approach makes the players feel unpleasant.

After the game, Mourinho did not express his opinion on this, which also planted the seeds of resentment in Hazard's heart.

As the game progressed, Hazard was unable to get into the form for a long time, which also made Mourinho criticize many times in public, which evolved into a contradiction.

The fuse for the outbreak of contradictions in the locker room must be the team's results.

Chelsea began to try Willian on the right after a poor attack on the left.

Last season, Willian and Yovanovic on the right flanks performed well and helped the team a lot at both offensive and defensive ends.

With the decline of Yin Wanovic's form this season, Willian has to both attack and defend alone, and it seems difficult to support it alone.

In just five minutes, Willian lost possession three times on the right flank, leaving Mourinho helpless.

N'Golo Kante continued to be consistent and his relentless run kept the defence rock-solid.

But nothing else, there was an accident.

Drinkwater, the heart of Lyicester City's midfield, was unable to continue the game due to a muscle strain in a confrontation, and Ranie used Andy King to replace him.

The Premier League schedule is about to enter an intensive stage, and the players are starting to fatigue their bodies, and with the winter approaching, the body is prone to injury.

Chelsea's Eden Hazard is facing the same problem.

In the 30th minute of the game, Hazard was also knocked to the ground in a physical confrontation with N'Golo Kante, unable to continue the game, and was replaced by Pedro.

The injury added a bit of gloom to this focused battle.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
