Chelsea's 2-0 defeat to Spurs is indeed timely rain, because Tuchel's second season in charge of the team encountered difficulties, the Blues fell from the top team to the third place, there is currently a 10-point gap with Manchester City at the top of the table, and the team has one more round, so winning Tottenham hotspur is necessary, otherwise the Blues' top four rankings will be dangerous. This round of winning also ended the embarrassment of the previous two rounds of unwinnable, the Premier League competition has always been a record in the strong dialogue, Chelsea has won Tottenham Four times this season is indeed the nemesis of the opponent, former Chelsea manager Conte after taking charge of Tottenham, the team still lost to the Blues is indeed convinced.
During the period when Sir, Wenger, Benitez and Mourinho were in charge of the four giants of the Premier League, there was the so-called nemesis theory, which was strong mutual restraint, so the strong dialogue at that time was extremely wonderful. Now the double red and blue clubs and the red and blue battle are also in the spotlight, and the London derby is also very fierce, but the current Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are no longer sharp, and Chelsea are still a resilient and unpredictable team.
The match was also a contest between The Italian managers, with Conte leading Chelsea to a title in his debut season when he first entered the Premier League, and Tuchel took up Chelsea's coaching whip last season to help the team win the Champions League for the second time. Both managers are Chelsea's meritorious managers, both of whom have been successful in their debut seasons, so this campaign is also a competition in all aspects. It must be admitted that Conte's debut season in charge of Tottenham is indeed a lot of problems, so Chelsea is indeed that special presence, just like their meritorious manager Jose Mourinho, and absolutely iron-blooded.
Tottenham have not been able to win the championship trophy, even if there are strong factions such as Kane and Son Heung-min in the team, the team will have unstable periods every season, so it has passed by the championship trophy several times. What the team lacks is resilience, and the club president is also a representative of stubbornness and bias, so it is impossible to make Spurs a champion. Kane wanted to join Manchester City before the start of this season, and Spurs did have bad consequences after staying strong, which was also caused by the club's top management, so ranking 7th this season is also caused by many problems. The odds of Conte leading the team to the title this season are slim, and if Levican gives the Italian three seasons, he might be able to do it.
Conte's first game in charge of Tottenham was the European Cup, with the team narrowly defeating the underdog Vidis 3-2, and only one europa league match substitute in the next nine games unexpectedly lost to Mulla, and the rest of the league and League Cup matches remained unbeaten. Among them, the draw was 0-0 Everton away, 2-2 at home to Liverpool, 1-1 away to Southampton, and the away team was forced to draw twice by the midstream team, which also revealed the crux of the team, Conte is still not good at encountering iron barrels and tenacious teams. It is worth mentioning that Tottenham Hotspur have won the team leeds United, Brentford, Norwich, West Ham and Crystal Palace, and there are no teams in the title group, so It is wrong for Conte to temporarily take up Tottenham's coaching whip, if it is next season to coach the team, it may be different, because the new manager can get support in terms of reinforcements.
Spurs entered 2022 with a record of 3 wins and 3 losses, it can be said that the honeymoon period between Conte and the team is over, it can also be said that he suffered a nemesis, because the three defeats were lost to Chelsea, the League Cup was killed by the Blues 2-0 and 1-0, and it is indeed a little sad that this round of league 0-2 was clean-sealed again. The manager's resilience must be in place, but conte has a low adaptability against Tuchel, who is also an Italian, which also shows that the Tottenham manager has begun to try to change the failure.
Tottenham's three wins are 1-0 Watford away, FA Cup home 3-1 Mokem, league away 3-2 Leicester City, still no strong team, which also shows that the team will still be tested. Tottenham's next fixtures are the FA Cup away to Brighton, followed by league games against Wolves, Manchester City, Leeds United, Everton, Manchester United and West Ham, which is also the relative schedule of the devil. Tottenham's problem is that the number of goals scored is small, and once there are more goals, the number of goals conceded by the defensive line will also increase, which also shows that there are problems at both ends of the attack and defense.
Chelsea won the game against Tottenham, Ziyech and Thiago Silva scored in succession, and the strikers still failed to score, which is also worrying. The starters in the frontcourt of this match were Jorginho, Kovacic, Ziyech, Mount, Hudson-Odoi, Lukaku, Kante, Sauer and Alonso came off the bench, while Werner, Havertz and Pulisic did not get the opportunity to play. Because Chelsea will then play against Plymouth at 20:30 in the FA Cup on February 5, the team is still playing at home, and there is really no need to stay, so it is also meaningful for the manager not to use these three players, especially for Havertz's lack of reuse.
Ziyech's key in the game is obvious, because he can face a three-man defense and can score with one kick, and if such a strong performance can be continued, Chelsea's winning streak is not a problem. It is also incomprehensible that Tuchel and Havertz will put on the bench, and it is equally incomprehensible that Conte will also put Lucas Jr. and Skip on the bench, whether Conte would despise Chelsea as an opponent and not send the strongest home team at the moment. However, I personally think that Conte wants to win by surprise and avoid being eaten by his opponents, but he did not expect it to be self-defeating. Chelsea have three former managers who have coached Tottenham, Boas is a failure, Mourinho has achieved the best results, and Conte is really difficult today, and fans can only give more time.
Kane also scored in this game, unfortunately in an offside position, and chelsea's defence has put limits on him. Kane only had one shot on goal in the whole game, passing 2 threatening balls, because Son Heung-min did not appear, so the few opportunities were missed by his teammates, so Kane was also excited. However, Lukaku is also relatively sluggish, the whole game 3 shots only 1 shot on target, pass 1 threatening ball, the pass success rate is only 63%, the front need to reflect.
After this match, Tottenham Hotspur ranked seventh in the league after two rounds of the tournament, so there is no room for loss in the next game. Lukaku got a number of chances in the game, but it was a pity that Mount's pass Lukaku failed to break the goal, and then the team used the header several times to fail. Lukaku's shot from the ball again did not mention the ball, which was indeed unbelievable, and then wasted a cross from his teammate, and his running position was half a beat slower, so he failed to complete the shot.
Ziyeh's goal in the second half was a pass from Hudson-Odoi, the latter is indeed expected, hoping to get more opportunities to play later, Ziyech threatened the goal many times, Lowry magically defused the danger, the goalkeeper is also the savior, otherwise Spurs may have lost miserably, because Lukaku's shot at the end of the game was very powerful and was also saved by the goalkeeper. Chelsea's second goal was a set-piece opportunity, Mount opened an assist Silva goal, the veteran is also old, and the team's contract extension with him is also the most correct decision.
Next Chelsea has an FA Cup match, the team's partial substitute appearances can also be successfully promoted, in addition to some of the team's international players will also leave the team during the international match day, other players can get time to rest, the manager needs to think carefully about the problem of the offensive end, to avoid another upset points after the international game, the team's next round of premier league is February 19 away to Crystal Palace, still can not be careless.
