Getting to the top four will appear to be a dream worked out as expected for Chelsea. It is hard not only because they are not in the form but likewise that are the other top clubs having series of wins. However, as odds are in their favor, there is a chance that Chelsea does not only come at 4 but also at the top. After all, it is also Chelsea’s players’ responsibility to play hard and win the matches. Below are 5 reasons because of which it seems that Chelsea can clench a top 4 spot.
Goalkeeping
When Frank Lampard, the manager of Chelsea praised the team’s new goalkeeper, he called Kepa Arrizabalaga low maintenance, which is not a good term in football. Kepa consistently looks very great, not in the feeling of being fair at halting shots or overwhelming his box, however in the way that the camera loves him: plunging full length to own a shot pass, under or over him, senselessly yelling at his defenders after making a generally straightforward save. Mendy on the other hand is effective and goes on with his game even after saving the team. One of the enormous concerns encompassing Mendy was his capacity with the ball at his feet: a vital characteristic for a goalkeeper for Lampard with how he needs his Chelsea to play. Yet, he’s demonstrated a good game and fair play.
Defending
Chelsea has got Anthony Barry, who is the best player to change the bad defense of the team. It is the modification at set-pieces that have been surprising. Barry at the touchline against Rennes, giving orders to the Chelsea defense, who seem to have an additional man in the box, reliably winning. Thiago Silva has additionally clearly had an immense effect, however overall open play as well, overflowing quiet power and emanating a quietness that has Kurt Zouma giving the best performance.
In the match Burnley, Chelsea showed the best performance. Kante was superb in that game. It was the kind of virtuoso exhibition we earlier underestimated yet have seen unreasonably rarely under now Lampard. As the most profound midfielder, Kante had the option to drive the press, constraining his colleagues up the pitch as he did as such. The thing is whether Lampard is sufficiently valiant to use this equivalent framework against better teams; regardless of whether he feels the guarded duty is excessively extraordinary for Kante with five different players on the pitch zeroed in undeniably more on attacking than following back.
Playmakers
Probably the greatest issue last season was Chelsea making however not ending. Alongside singular mistakes, it was a typical subject through his exasperated post-match interviews. However, an excessive number of those ‘odds’ were half ones: balls put into a territory in which a striker ought to be; players selecting to shoot when the pass would be a superior alternative.
It’s diverse at this point. Not quieter, or less testing, but rather more intelligent and eventually more hazardous. Ziyech is vital to this. He’s a player with an image in his psyche, considering the condition of playing two passes ahead, getting positions from which he can make key passes, convey crosses, or shoot.
In any case, the key is standing out he chooses colleagues, or if nothing else attempts to. A beautifully whipped cross isn’t conveyed with an assumption for somebody to get on its finish. He chooses a beneficiary, focuses, and if it doesn’t meet its imprint it’s his shortcoming, not his teammates.
Attacking options
Chelsea as of now has 12 diverse goalscorers this season. Timo Werner typically drives the path with six, yet there is a risk all over the place, taking all things together in situations.
Once more, we come to set pieces. Chelsea used to be lord in both boxes. At the point when Chelsea last won the Premier League, under Antonio Conte in 2016/17, they scored 22 goals. A year ago, only 11. A corner for Chelsea felt like it was bound to end in a counter-assault and an objective for the other group rather than a beneficial circumstance to score themselves.
This has now changed. Through a mix of Ziyech and Chilwell conveyance and primarily Zouma – who as of now has three objectives this season – plunging himself towards the ball, Chelsea is indeed a genuine danger in the case.
We said perhaps the greatest test this season would keep those players upbeat thus far he’s overseen them well. Other than Olivier Giroud, the responsibility has been shared equitably enough to inspire players whenever they do get an opportunity to impress.
Injuries and Covid issues to a great extent have facilitated determination to some degree, however with comparable issues liable to introduce themselves, a crew that looked awkward before the season began appears to be spot on.
