This season's Premier League, Manchester City and Liverpool double male competition, Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham United and Manchester United four teams to compete for four, this title of the inner volume, the scramble for the fourth, only the third place Chelsea, more than the top and the bottom, this season's Premier League seems to have nothing to do with this iron-blooded division that is deeply involved in the sanctions storm.
Think about the beginning of the season, when the Blues were sharp in attack, tough in defense and long at the top of the table, when almost everyone thought that the Blues would be a strong contender for the Premier League title this season. The weather was unpredictable, the high-heeled Blues suddenly suffered a wave of injuries, the team was infected with the Aomi Kerong virus on a large scale, and the two major wing-backs, Reese James and Chilwell, were both injured, making the most powerful wing-back attack in Tuchel's tactics completely scrapped.
In the Champions League quarter-finals, the Blues almost created a miracle - although they lost 1-3 at Stamford Bridge, they directly returned to the Bernabeu 3-0, and once saw the hope of reversing the reversal, but the right side was really unable to resist, Real Madrid equalized and counter-over scored, all from the right side...
After the "tragic" exit of the Champions League, the only title trophy that Chelsea can compete for this season is the FA Cup. In the semi-finals, facing Crystal Palace, coached by Gunners star Vieira, Chelsea are ready to spread the anger of the Champions League out on their opponents.
Tuchel did not lightly attack, nor did he venture, he still discharged a 4-3-3 no-front, through non-stop running and pulling to consume opponents, Crystal Palace although withstood Chelsea's attack in the first half, seeking a 0-0 draw, but also tossed almost.
Easy to fight again, the Blues' attack is no longer a dragonfly point to the end, but a rush of wind and rain. The DNA of the Blues, Cheek and Mount, scored in 10 minutes in quick succession, and the Blues took the game away with a wave of streams and locked in the tickets to the final.
Vieira can bring Crystal Palace to the semi-finals, which is also the limit, facing Chelsea, who are aiming to win the championship, there is really no better way, can not hold, naturally there is no chance.
Seeing that the big picture was decided, Tuchel replaced Lukaku, trying to make the team's historical champion and the winger group cooperate to find the feeling, but Tuchel's efforts eventually turned into a scene that made people can't help but be funny - Werner and Lukaku are basically at the same point, the two are "you run yours, I pass what I wear" and "you pass yours, I run mine", wasting several excellent scoring opportunities.
If Lukaku is still unable to integrate into Tuchel's tactical system, the Blues' key reinforcements in last summer window have failed, and now it seems that there are not many opportunities left for Lukaku.
In the end, Chelsea reached the FA Cup final and stood in front of Liverpool.
A month ago, in the League Cup final, Chelsea and Liverpool fought for 120 minutes without winning or losing. The penalty shootout between the two sides played 11 rounds, and the endangered Kepa kicked an anti-aircraft cannon to make the Blues hate 12 yards, and the championship trophy was missed.
This is the third consecutive time Chelsea have reached the FA Cup final, but the first two times, Chelsea lost to Arsenal and Leicester City respectively, counting the League Cup loss to Liverpool, Chelsea's last three FA cup finals have all lost, which is obviously not a glorious record.
Liverpool are making strides towards the feat of four champions, the FA Cup has been regarded as a bag by Klopp; Chelsea only have the FA Cup to fight for, the whole team is looking forward to a championship trophy to end this difficult season, Tuchel also hopes to use victory to end the final without a win, to comfort the fans and Abu.
A month later, Wembley Stadium will witness the new king, whether it is the Reds to the top, or the Blues revenge success, wait and see! This is probably the most anticipated FA Cup final in the past decade.
