LOOK AT: Morata, Chelsea helpless rescue?
New season passed 7 rounds but Chelsea have lost points to 3 times and now they are facing a difficult problem called "substitute Álvaro Morata." Is it time for the Blues to fall into another crisis?
After the 2016/17 Premier League championship, Chelsea are active in the transfer market. Despite rumors of coach Antonio Conte conflicts between and sporting director Michael Highly regarded, the Blues still have a transfer window is not so bad.
Before the market closed, Chelsea had six new players spread across three lines. Notably, midfielder Antonio Rüdiger, midfielder and striker Bakayoko Tiemoue Álvaro Morata are star quality, capable go straight into the squad. However, the addition of which does not help the team champions of England more scary on the contrary, they seem fragile, very difficult to explain and typical image of the Blues is the striker most expensive club's history: Morata .
Morata's talents are unquestionable, but the striker carries on with him the image of a weak student. His performance is also quite good. Despite six goals in the Premier League, in fact, Morata only "fired" in three matches. In front of Tottenham, Arsenal, the striker did not show much. In front of Man City, he had to leave early because of a muscle injury.
The problem is that, despite Morata is not really stable, Chelsea too fast depends on the striker. After Morata left the field in the first leg against City, Chelsea lost full control and only managed to play despite playing at home to Stamford Bridge.
60 minutes without Morata in front of City made difficult problem that coach Conte can not get the correct answer. With the launch of Willian instead of Michy Batshuayi, the Italian coach took into account the 0 striker diagram. However, this diagram can not operate when Hazard and Willian stand apart.
In fact, last season, Conte had only twice to deal with losing striker Diego Costa. One time because the Spanish star was suspended, and another because Costa called to China. In both games, Chelsea won 3-0 with a trio attack Hazard, Willian and Pedro. Even so, Bournemouth and Leicester City were not so good at the time. Not to mention, that was when Hazard and Pedro were at the peak of their form.
Back at the moment, Hazard was not "hot" after a long-term traumatic event, with Pedro showing signs of deterioration at the age of 30, as Willian remains a "worker" rather than a star that can inspire the team. ball, while Batshuayi showed he only matched the game with less pressure. Chelsea's dependence on Morata is obvious even though the striker has been in Stamford Bridge for less than three months.
Black enough for Chelsea when they lost Morata at the very sensitive stage of the season. In the Champions League, the Blues have two decisive matches against AS Roma. In the Premier League, they have to host Man Utd. In the worst scenario, Chelsea lost points in these games and fell into a very serious crisis.
In the Premier League alone, the Blues are lagging behind after losing 2 draws in only the first seven rounds. In fairness, Conte's team suffered a heavy schedule, but that did not deny the problems they had.
In addition to the premature reliance on Morata, Pedro and Willian's sudden decline, the Blues also somewhat lost the balance in the midfield. Kante is excellent, but Bakayoko can not replace Matic. More importantly, the Chelsea to split fire for the Champions League their energy significantly reduced compared to last season. That is why the Blues must receive 12 yellow cards and 3 red cards after only seven games in the Premier League this season. Including the super cup match with Arsenal, the Blues have four red cards!
This also explains why coach Conte suddenly changed the diagram, using 3-5-1-1 ahead of City. He clearly saw the fragility of Chelsea now and tried to strengthen it when it hit a strong opponent. However, this change was not effective when Morata had to leave the field too early and Conte would have to find another option for the next non-Morata stage.
Despite a lot of problems, but Chelsea is a bit lucky when the holiday for the national team arrived in time. With two weeks out of play, Conte has time to think and come up with the solution that best fits his needs.
