In last season's Champions League, the Premier League giants Chelsea were undoubtedly the biggest winners, and in the case of not being optimistic, the upset title once again lifted the St. Blade Cup, and in the quarter-final draw of this season's Champions League, the Blues' luck was also very good, they met the Ligue 1 team Lille, which lost a number of core players, which is one of the reasons why they are regarded as favorites to advance! In the middle of this week, the Champions League knockout war reignited, the defending champion Chelsea will sit at stamford Bridge Stadium to meet the visiting Lille, although the Blues are currently plagued by injuries, many of the main players are unable to play due to injury, but from the overall strength point of view, they still have a clear advantage, coupled with the advantage of home battles, they have a high probability of winning, so as to grasp the initiative to advance to the quarterfinals, and as the most important reinforcement of the team this season, the little monster Lukaku will shoulder the responsibility of attacking the team. Ending a six-game scoring drought and leading the team to a triumphant song will be his only goal!
Last season' performance in Lille undoubtedly surprised many fans, in the Ligue 1 they were able to beat the super luxurious Paris Saint-Germain team to win the league championship, it can be seen that they still have a strong fighting force, but like many non-giant teams, after achieving great success, Lille also encountered a number of core players were poached, and many main players left in the offseason, which greatly reduced the team's combat effectiveness, which can also be seen from their performance in the domestic arena this season, so far, In the 25 Ligue 1 games that have been completed, Lille has only won 9, drawn 9 and lost 7, temporarily ranking eleventh in the table.
Although Chelsea's performance this season has not met expectations, and the Premier League has been far behind by the defending champions Manchester City, the Blues are still far stronger than Lille, and the team has recently achieved a wave of five consecutive victories in the face of injury.
And the little monster Lukaku who returned to the Premier League, although the performance in the Premier League was far from reaching the height of the previous Serie A, but fans familiar with him are clear that Lukaku also has a nickname, that is, the little prince of abuse, in the face of the strength is not good, and the physical confrontation intensity can not be compared with the Premier League team Lille, Lukaku has a very high probability of playing his own strong advantage of confrontation and becoming the bridgehead of the team's attack.
Before the Start of the Champions League knockout match with Lille, Lukaku had not been able to score in six consecutive games, which would also further stimulate his morale, and I believe that with his ability, he still has a very good hope of helping Chelsea score at Stamford Bridge Stadium and laughing to the end.
Although the winning prospects of the defending champions Chelsea are optimistic about the outside world, they must not be taken lightly, after all, on the football field, no situation can happen until the last moment of the game, and Lille will most likely adopt a more practical defensive counterattack strategy when he fights away from home, which also makes Lukaku need to play his role on the offensive end, as long as he can play the role of the team's offensive fulcrum and disrupt the opponent's defense with his own strength. Chelsea's other attacking players will be able to create more attacking opportunities by breaking through, which in turn will create scoring opportunities for Romelu Lukaku!
