Chelsea won 4 matches in a row: 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 both performed beautifully and achieved positive results. Four consecutive victories against Huddersfield (3-0), Arsenal (3-2), Newcastle (2-1) and Bournemouth (2-0) are impressive achievements for a team that has just changed coaches. Now, Chelsea fans are thinking 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 the leader Man City, it is very difficult to narrow such a big gap after only one season. I am very happy with my first 4 matches, but at the moment we try to focus on each match."

The former Napoli coach's modest attitude is completely understandable. Because the current Chelsea team does not have all the elements to successfully conquer the throne. The missing element here is that Chelsea does not possess a world-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 made 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) achievements of 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 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 on the excellence of Hazard, Kante, Pedro or Alonso forever.

The team at Stamford Bridge is playing impressively, but perhaps that is just a flashy appearance. There is a saying: "Don't see red and think it's ripe", that's it./.
