Chelsea won 4 consecutive matches: Don't see red and think it's ripe!

At this time, many experts and Chelsea fans are surprised by what coach Sarri and his team have just experienced. The Italian strategist has only been at Stamford Bridge for less than a month, but Chelsea has made very positive changes. The "Sarri-ball" style of play is operated quite smoothly by Hazard and his teammates.

Compared to Chelsea under Mourinho and Conte, coach Sarri is transforming Chelsea from a pragmatic style of play to a more attractive and emotional one. Owner Abramovich's dream of a Chelsea - "Football-sexy", is gradually becoming a reality.

More importantly, the Stamford Bridge team has not only performed well but also achieved positive results. 4 consecutive victories against Huddersfield (3-0), Arsenal (3-2), Newcastle (2-1) and Bournemouth (2-0) are very impressive achievements for a team that has just changed coaches. Now is the time for Chelsea fans to think about the championship trophies.

However, coach Sarri said: "I think it is very difficult to win the Premier League. Last season, Chelsea was 30 points behind Man City, it is very difficult to narrow such a big gap after only one season. I am very happy with my first four matches, but now we try to focus on each match."

The former Napoli coach’s modest attitude is completely understandable. Because, the current Chelsea does not have all the elements to successfully conquer the throne. The missing element here is that Chelsea does not possess a top-class assassin - a formidable goal-scoring machine.

With the Morata - Giroud duo on the attack line, no matter how talented coach Sarri is, it will be difficult for Chelsea to compete with Man City, Liverpool... in the Premier League championship race.

The statistics don’t lie. After 4 matches, the team’s top scorer, Morata, has only scored 1 goal and has no assists. Meanwhile, the second striker, Giroud, has not scored any goals and has only contributed 1 assist.

The combined achievements of both players are still not equal to defender Alonso (1 goal, 2 assists). Putting that achievement next to Aguero’s (Man City) achievements of 3 goals and 1 assist, or next to Mane’s (Liverpool) 4 goals… is enough to see the difference.

Chelsea's current attack is inferior to that of Chelsea in the 2016/2017 season and before. Under coach Mourinho it was Drogba, under coach Conte it was Costa - those who always had a stable scoring form, knew how to shine at important moments, far different from what Morata and Giroud are showing. To compete for the championship, Chelsea cannot rely forever on the excellence of Hazard, Kante, Pedro or Alonso.

The Stamford Bridge team is playing impressively, but perhaps that is just the flashy exterior. There is a saying: “Don’t see red and think it is ripe”, that is./.
