Chelsea are now alone in the Premier League and seeking defeat.

Eighteen points ahead of Arsenal.

Even the media who are leaning towards Arsenal have already admitted defeat. Even if Arsenal can win the make-up game, the gap is still fifteen points. With this kind of points gap, there is really no hope.

During this period, Chelsea was absolutely brilliant in the Premier League.

Since the establishment of the Premier League, only Chelsea has been able to widen the gap with second place to 18 points within half a season.

It’s 2002.

After entering the New Year, Chelsea has completely observed the Premier League with a bird's eye attitude. For other Premier League games, Chelsea has a completely onlooker attitude.

Did Manchester United win?

If you win, you win.

Arsenal won?

Even if you win.

What's wrong?

This is the mentality of Chelsea now.

Of course it's not all congratulations.

There are also many media who dislike Chelsea.

They believe that if a league wants to develop normally, it should be fiercely competitive. It should not be like Chelsea's current situation, which is 18 points ahead of the second place.

Many media believe that this is not conducive to the development of the league.

Su Yun did not tolerate these accusations. Su Yun immediately refuted their words in front of the media: "Since the establishment of the Premier League, Manchester United has always dominated the Premier League. Manchester United has seven of the nine Premier League championships. But the development of the Premier League has also changed.

It was not affected at all.”

"When Manchester United won three consecutive Premier League titles, no one said anything. When we were about to win the championship, some people started making irresponsible remarks."

Su Yun was not polite at all.

Su Yun rarely criticizes the media in this way.

But Su Yun was really angry.

Could it be said that if Manchester United dominates the Premier League and Arsenal wins the Premier League championship, there will be no problem. If Chelsea is the Premier League champion, there will be so many people complaining.

The Premier League is not run by Manchester United and Arsenal.

Why can't Chelsea win the championship?

After the twenty-first round of the Premier League, the English FA Cup also begins.

There is only a four day gap.

On January 5th, the third round of the FA Cup begins.

Just like the League Cup, a Champions League team like Chelsea does not need to play the first two rounds of the FA Cup. It only needs to start from the third round of the English FA Cup.

And unlike the League Cup, there are many weak teams in the third round of the FA Cup.

Because the League Cup is only available to clubs from the English Professional League, but the FA Cup is different. It is a competition that all teams in England can participate in.

Even teams in the lowest leagues in England, composed entirely of amateur players, can participate.

Therefore, legends of dragon slaying often appear in the FA Cup.

There are some teams that you have never heard of. It is normal to beat the top teams in the Premier League.

It is now the third round of the FA Cup. Basically, those amateur teams were eliminated in the FA Cup qualifiers. However, there are also amateur league teams among the remaining teams.

Chelsea's opponent in the third round is Norwich City from the English League One.

Not particularly bad luck.

But my luck cannot be said to be particularly good.

There were a bunch of amateur teams here, but they were drawn to a League One team.

Su Yun no longer attaches great importance to the FA Cup and League Cup. Su Yun has already won two FA Cup championships and two League Cup championships. The biggest thing in Su Yun's heart now is the League and the Champions League. Who will go there?

Consider the FA Cup and League Cup.

But now that Chelsea has long been eliminated from the League Cup, Su Yun still hopes to keep the FA Cup.

Chelsea have a lot of young players now.

And there are many substitute players. Because Su Yun has always attached great importance to the league this season, there is not much rotation in the league. On the contrary, there is a lot of rotation in the Champions League.

So much so that Chelsea's heavy-money signings Zenden and Grenjaer have not found any good opportunities to play. Even this season, due to Hasselbaink's strong performance, even Eto'o played fewer games than last season.

A lot.

The league is basically settled now.

Su Yun does not want to give up the FA Cup easily.

It's not to win the FA Cup, but to add some games so that our players can have ample opportunities to play.

Su Yunlun changed a lot of people in this game.

After all, if some fringe players are not allowed to play even in such a domestic cup, it would be outrageous. It would also be detrimental to the balance of the locker room.

But the gap in strength is there.

Those who play as substitutes at Chelsea are all capable of playing as main players in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. Chelsea substitute players such as Parker, Melchiot, Babayaro, Zenden, Glenchiar, Forssell, and Carlton

.Cole et al.

Therefore, although it was an away game, Chelsea easily defeated Norwich 2-1.

Also entered the fourth round of the FA Cup.

…………

"Is it really that serious?"

When the winter transfer arrived, Su Yun also started to make his own moves.

Of course, winter transfers generally don't involve any big moves. In European football, the most important transfers are made in the summer. Because summer is the time to build a new team and it is also the time for the team to adjust.

Only by introducing players in the summer can they be integrated into the new team.

In winter, repairs are usually done.

Players are also reluctant to transfer in the winter, because after a winter transfer, it takes a period of time to adapt to a new team. If they cannot adapt, they will be under tremendous pressure.

Of course, any team rarely sells its star players during winter transfers.

Unless you don’t want to live anymore.

Su Yun had already settled his own transfer before the transfer. That was Bolton's Gudjohnsen.

Because Gudjohnsen had been dealt with long ago, Su Yun loaned out Carlton Cole. Of course, he would not loan it out to a Premier League team because Carlton Cole's current strength is limited.

The important thing is that he is only seventeen years old.

What Su Yun needs is Carlton Cole to accumulate game experience.

If loaned to a Premier League team, Carlton Cole would be no different from staying at Chelsea. Therefore, Su Yun loaned Carlton Cole to Northampton Club in the English League Two.

Su Yun hopes that Carlton Cole can train well in the English League Two.

Then I bought Gudjohnsen of Bolton.

There are not many flowers.

£4.7 million.

Of course, it can be so cheap because Bolton are too poor to take the blame. Otherwise, how could they sell Gudjohnsen so cheaply?

But during the process of buying Gudjohnsen, Su Yun made a surprising discovery.

Ken Bates, who was very generous in the summer, showed difficulty in spending five million pounds on a transfer in the winter. Of course, Ken Bates didn't show it, but Su Yun felt it.

Ken Bates is very strong.

He would not show his embarrassment, but Su Yun also felt it from the people around Bates.

This surprised Su Yun.

After coming back, Su Yun had some problems no matter how he thought about it. So let ** understand Chelsea's problems from the side.

This understanding shocked Su Yun.

Su Yun has always thought that although Chelsea has a lot of debt, the club is still very healthy. After all, Su Yun won the five crowns last season and performed so well in the league this season.

From all aspects, Chelsea should not have any problems.

But what I learned was shocking.

Chelsea's current debt has reached a staggering 90 million pounds. Fortunately, Chelsea's performance is excellent now, unlike Leeds United who failed to compete in the Champions League several times.

So it didn't show up at all.
