Chapter 1: Champions League is not easy

Hiddink is in a pretty good mood recently.

Since he took over Chelsea, in addition to losing to Manchester United, Chelsea has maintained an unbeaten record of seven games in all competitions so far. However, apart from the two victories in the FA Cup, the five Premier League games are just wins. At nine points, Chelsea have defeated Crystal Palace and Arsenal in away games in the five rounds of the Premier League, drawn Everton and West Bromwich Albion at home, and drew [-]-[-] with Watford in the last round of the league. Germany.

If it is compared with Chelsea's record last season, the five league rounds scored nine points, and the average of each round of the league was only 1.8 points. This kind of scoring efficiency is not very good.But if it is compared with the scoring efficiency before Mourinho's get out of class this season, such a result is already worth opening a bottle of champagne for Hiddink.

And through these few rounds of the league, Chelsea has gradually climbed out of the bottom.Now that Chelsea has scored 29 points, winning the championship is of course out of the question, but there is basically no problem with relegation-as long as this scoring efficiency is maintained, perhaps in another five rounds of the league, Chelsea can score enough 38 points to reach The score line for theoretical relegation is over.

Although it sounds like a big joke that Chelsea now need to think about relegation, it really happened this season.It's like now that 24 rounds of the Premier League have passed, and the second-ranked team is actually Leicester City-now there are English media seriously discussing Leicester City's obtaining a Champions League spot after the end of the season.

This is actually not impossible. Manchester City, which was in a brave state at the beginning of the season, has now suffered consecutive defeats. Now it has been overtaken by Leicester City by three points. It only scored 47 points and ranked third in the league. The state is not bad, but after the Christmas schedule, Arsenal's state suddenly fell, and now they only scored 45 points and ranked fifth-and their fourth position was lost by their arch-enemy Tottenham Hotspur. Occupied, Tottenham also scored 45 points, overwhelming Arsenal with a goal difference advantage, ranking fourth in the league.

And the most important thing is that Chelsea, who must have been a member of the top four in the past, should not think about the top four this season-maybe 29 points can allow Chelsea to compete for the top seven and qualify for the Europa League.

However, it is not impossible for Chelsea to qualify for the Champions League next season-of course not through the league. Chelsea wants to be [-] points behind Tottenham Hotspur, who is ranked fourth, and hope to catch up with their opponents in the league. Basically zero.

Now there is still a road ahead of Chelsea, and that is to make a strong counterattack and win the Champions League!

Anyway, Chelsea has now qualified for the Champions League group stage. Although their signing luck is not good, their opponents in the quarter-finals have drawn the Ligue 0.01 giants Paris Saint-Germain.But they are more likely to win the Champions League than the top four in the league. If the probability of the league reversing and reaching the top four is infinitely close to zero, then their probability of winning the Big Ears Cup is probably ok. Like [-], although the possibility is not too high, it is much better than zero, isn't it?

Of course, Chelsea won the Champions League and qualified for next season's Champions League. For the time being, only some English tabloids and a small group of Chelsea fans circulated and discussed.At least that's never crossed the mind of Hiddink, Chelsea's current coach.

Now Chelsea have only just qualified for the group stage, and they are still far away from the championship.Hiddink will seriously consider this possibility if Chelsea can make it past the quarter-finals and quarter-finals of the Champions League.

It's not that Hiddink is not optimistic about Chelsea's team lineup, or that Hiddink thinks that Chelsea players have poor abilities-in terms of staffing, Chelsea is undoubtedly one of the top teams in the world, and the players are Based on everything, with top players, Chelsea can naturally compete for the Champions League.

But it is so easy to get to the Champions League.

Manchester United has such a long history of team building. The Ferguson era was brilliant for more than 20 years, and only won two Champions League trophies. In Manchester United's team history, it has only won three Champions League titles.

The most successful club in the European War is the Red Army Liverpool, but Liverpool has only five Champions League titles in total, two more than Manchester United.

And when Abramovich came to Chelsea at the beginning and brought Chelsea a lot of money, his purpose was to make a difference in the Champions League.When Abramovich bought Chelsea, which was in debt at the time, he spent more on buying players for Chelsea than any club in the world at that time could catch up.Glenn Johnson, Bridget, Joe Cole and other local young talents in England were later acquired by Chelsea, and then Gremi, Veron, Duff, Crespo, Makelele and other big names joined in succession and were bought by Abramovich. In Chelsea's first season, in the transfer market, Chelsea spent more than [-] million pounds, which opened the golden era of European football.

In the second season, the madman Mourinho, who led Porto to miraculously win the Triple Crown, came to the Blues in an arrogant manner, followed by Robben, Kežman and other strongmen.Left Duff right Robben's Devil Wings made Chelsea have few rivals in the Premier League. In the following two years, Chelsea won two consecutive Premier League titles.But in the Champions League, even if it is a luxury fleet built with a lot of money, even Mourinho, there is no way for Chelsea to gain something in the European arena.

Although Mourinho helped Chelsea win two Premier League trophies, his performance in the European war was not satisfactory, which became the fuse for the madman's dismissal from Chelsea for the first time.

On September 2007, 9, Chelsea drew Rosenborg 19-[-] in the UEFA Champions League group stage. The unbearable Abramovich fired Mourinho.

It wasn't until five years later, under the leadership of the firefighting coach Di Marzio, that Chelsea defeated the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich through a difficult penalty shootout in the Champions League final, and won the first Champions League in the history of their team trophy.And it has been nine years since Abramovich entered Chelsea.

It took nine consecutive years of huge investment to get a Champions League trophy. One can imagine how easy it is to win the Champions League.The team's strength, morale, luck, the right time, place and people are all indispensable.Even when you have everything, you may not be able to win the championship in the end-after all, there is only one trophy.

Therefore, Hiddink will definitely not consider anything about the Champions League at this stage.For him, the most realistic goal at present is to score as many points as possible in the league, strive to have a slightly better ranking after the end of the season, and then compete in the two major cups of English football, the FA Cup and the League Cup. Trying to win one of the trophies will not leave the team empty-handed after the end of the season. In this way, Hiddink may continue to stay in the position of Chelsea coach next season.

Of course, facing a strong team like Manchester United at home, Chelsea must not show weakness.Although the team's record is not good, the fans are still quite high-spirited. If they are brutally abused by Manchester United at their own home court, Hiddink will have to leave without waiting until the end of the season.
