In the early morning of January 19, Beijing time, the 24th round of the Premier League, Chelsea drew 1-1 away to Brighton. This has left Chelsea with no wins in the last 4 premier league rounds (3 draws and 1 loss), and only 1 win in the last 7 premier league rounds (5 draws and 1 loss). Chelsea (one more game) have fallen behind Manchester City at the top of the table by as many as 12 points and 1 point behind Liverpool in third place, it can be said that the Blues have completely lost the Premier League title this season + no play.
Why did Chelsea hit the brakes recently, 3 draws and 1 loss in the last 4 rounds & only 1 win in the last 7 rounds, the reasons are as follows?
First: the reverse car can not drive! Chelsea have suffered injuries this season, particularly two main full-backs, Chilwell and Rees James, who suffered major injuries, with Chilwell being reimbursed for the season and Reece James missing 6-8 weeks. Chilwell and Reece James have been unable to play in the near future, and Chelsea's attacking ability has been halved. Chilwell scored 3 goals and 1 assist in 12 games this season, and Reece James scored 5 goals and 6 assists in 23 games, these two people are the main force of Chelsea's "reversing army". Chilwell and Rees James are absent, and the Blues not only have a serious decline in offensive ability, but also a cliff-like decline in finishing ability. It can be said that Chelsea's reversing car cannot be driven, and the attack is very weak.
Second: weak forward, signed back to Romelu Lukaku to buy a lonely! Lukaku is at Chelsea, his heart is at Inter. Belgian Devils are lying flat opponents in Serie A and lying flat on their own in the Premier League. Chelsea signed Lukaku for a transfer fee of more than 100 million euros this season, but the Belgian little monster is really difficult to walk in the Premier League, stronger than his Premier League centre-backs abound, coupled with the tactics of the Blues, Lukaku's offensive firepower has dropped sharply this season, and it feels that Chelsea signing Lukaku is buying a lonely. But Lukaku is so expensive to use, which also makes Werner unable to play, and Chelsea's forward scoring ability is the worst in the Premier League big 6.
Chelsea's weakness, the back line suffered a major injury, unable to drive backwards, which is the fundamental reason why the Blues suffered 3 draws and 1 loss in the last 4 rounds & only 1 win in the last 7 rounds, and the title race was completely lost. Tuchel has nothing to do about it, chelsea try to keep the top four, the Champions League continues to work hard, and Lukaku urgently needs to prove himself.
