Chelsea hit rock bottom, unable to cover up the bleeding that they have been suffering for a long time and that Frank Lampard, on the bench, has not even been able to hide, urgently, who accumulates defeat after defeat, the last one this Wednesday against Brentford.
The season has ended for the London team, without any goal. however, drift is dangerous and they may drop to the bottom of the table for the first time since the 1995-96 season. It is the only challenge for the blues, already without motivation after being eliminated from the Champions League and without the possibility of reaching the European zone.
Lampard, who arrived to be a transition until the end of the season, has not improved at all. He was the remedy worse than the disease and he has already had five defeats in five games.
He could not even offer joy to his fans with the visit of Brentford, whom he revived. Thomas Franck’s team had gone six games without winning. He was to go to Stamford Bridge and put an end to his ills.
Nothing goes right for Chelsea to whom luck turns its back. With nothing throughout the game, the game became unbalanced on the verge of halftime, in an own goal by César Azpilicueta who had not played for months. It was in a corner taken from the right of Kepa Arrizabalaga’s goal when he sent his clearance attempt into the net with his header.
It does not matter who is in the field or the changes and maneuvers that Lampard decides. He did not have Joao Felix, or Mykhaylo Mudrik. He got them out last. Before, at the break, he resorted to the Gabonese Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who he relegated a long time ago. He had the best chance, on a header that just missed.
Chelsea’s attempts to avoid defeat were diluted in the final stretch, when a steal from Mudrik ended with a pass from Shandon Baptiste to the Cameroonian Bryan Mbeumo who did everything until he reached the area and crossed the ball to the other side. from Azpilicueta.
