Three more levels! Chelsea passed the first level, and two big wins announced the return of the king

The past weekend, Chelsea beat Premier League champion Liverpool at home, which seemed to be an upset, but it was reasonable. After passing the first level with difficulty, Chelsea had to pass three more levels and won two consecutive games, bringing hope to the whole team to participate in the Champions League and announce the return of the king.

Recalling the mid-December last year, Chelsea was only 2 points away from Liverpool, the top spot, and was a strong contender for the Premier League championship. At the same time, he won six consecutive victories in the group stage of the European Union and advanced to the top 16. Not only that, Maresca even ranked almost completely different starters in the three major leagues, cups and Europe. Who said that a huge lineup is not good?

However, in the subsequent 10 Premier League games, Chelsea only achieved 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, ruining the bright prospects. The League Cup and FA Cup were both two rounds, and they were eliminated early, causing the difficult situation that they have to face now.

Judging from the current standings, Newcastle, No. 4, Chelsea, No. 5, and Nottingham Forest, No. 6, will have 72 points if they win the remaining games, and Aston Villa, No. 7, No. 69 points at most. However, there are two direct matches between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest and Newcastle. These three teams cannot reach 70 points at the same time, so as long as they score 70 points, they will definitely be able to participate in the Champions League next season.

Just, Chelsea met Liverpool's challenge at home. According to convention, the new champion Liverpool was welcomed by the opponent. This is a traditional etiquette in English football, and it is also a high respect for the champion and is hailed as a gentleman's behavior.

Liverpool legend Crouch and Manchester United legend Ferdinand disagree with this tradition. Although he was once a member of Liverpool's team and was selected as the most attractive commentator by the media, Crouch said that for the team that came out, it would inevitably be a little embarrassed and did not agree with this approach.

Ferdinand believes that he was lucky enough to have accepted the welcome of line-ups and welcomed other teams. No matter which side he is on, he will feel quite embarrassed. Crouch's statement is completely correct.

It is not difficult to see that the giants have different views on this, so when Chelsea welcomed Liverpool, there were a lot of boos from the whole audience, proving that in reality, embarrassment exists. Perhaps when Liverpool faces Arsenal in the next round, the queue will not appear so abrupt, and the fans at home will be more sincere and enthusiastic.

Whether it is embarrassment or respect, it is very important for Chelsea to score three points on Liverpool. However, this is just the first level that Chelsea has passed, and we will continue to pass three levels in the next three weekends.

From the schedule, Chelsea's remaining three league opponents are Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, direct competitors in the "fight for five" and the traditional giant Manchester United. There is no doubt about Newcastle's fighting spirit between Forest. Even if Chelsea loses to their opponents in the "six-point battle", they are likely to lose their qualifications for the Champions League.

Moreover, although Manchester United is no longer focused on the league and just lagged behind Brentford 1-4 at a time, he was able to score two goals in a row at the last moment, almost tied the score. It is actually not easy to deal with when Manchester United is not under any pressure. You never know when your opponent will lose and when your Jedi counterattack.

Happy, Chelsea has won two or more goals in the past two games. In addition to Liverpool, it is also very critical to defeat Jurgaden 4-1 away in the Europa League. A big victory in the first leg, and returning to home in a few days, can put down a lot of burdens, and it is not difficult to advance to the finals.

In addition, the final of the UEFA Union is scheduled to be held after the end of the Premier League, so the schedule for the next three weeks is not very intensive, and you can sprint to the fifth place in the Premier League with all your might. The European League champion cannot participate in the Champions League, and 70 points will definitely be able to complete the Champions League task. In other words, two wins and one draw are enough to return to the Champions League. Liverpool, which is the first level of

, has successfully passed the first level. Can Chelsea successfully pass the next three levels?
