David Luiz says that Chelsea will not give up without a figh
Comments OffThere was a lot of betting going on in the online sports betting site in Europe. Chelsea won the UEFA Champions League last year to become a dominant force in Europe. After winning the trophy last year they were on a high this season and could probably win seven titles this year. There were a lot of talks about them becoming the next football superpower. They have lost too many chances this season and now they having nothing left. They have ended their run in six title races and all that they have left to play for is the UEFA Europa League.
Chelsea player David Luiz feels that the team has been trying hard to do what they do best. The team is a formidable force and will not give up easily. Since they have lost all the other openings they will focus primarily on the UEFA trophy. This is a great chance for the club. They are into the semi finals and now they can win the league and get an assured place in the Champions League next season.
The players of the club are not ready to accept the fact that people in Europe don’t consider them as the same threat as they were a year ago. The club seems to have lost its touch and they will have to wait for the next season to win the fourth league title. The players feel it is important to win titles or you will not have a good morale.
This season they had a lot at stake. Now the club manager Rafael Benitez is primarily focused on the Europa League so that they can give the fans something to cheer about in this season. The competition is not yet over.
The players are ready to give their best shot and win it for the fans. They have the ability to do it. The last month of the season will be the toughest for them and they will have important matches to play. The next match against Blackburn Rovers will be very important for them to stay ahead of Tottenham. Their main motive would be to finish 3rd in the league this season and win the Europa League in order to get an assured Champions League spot next season. They will try their best to win all the trophies next season and become the same formidable force that they were.
Premier League Roundup – 2nd February 2013
Comments OffAs we now enter March, it could be said that we are starting to be introduced to the business end of the Premier League season. With the division being so tight, each and every result can have a huge impact on the league standings and Saturday brought yet more changes.
Unlike a lot of Saturdays, the top flight schedule was busy with no fewer than eight clashes taking place. Here, we’ll review how they all went.
Wigan 0 Liverpool 4
Once again Luis Suarez was the man of the moment in this game, with the Uruguayan bagging a hat-trick as Liverpool ran rampant in this 4-0 win. The result means that the Reds are now five points behind 5th place, while Wigan’s predicament is precarious and the Latics are only kept out of the bottom three due to goal difference.
Chelsea 1 West Brom 0
Considering Rafa Benitez’s fierce words this week, there was always going to be plenty of media attention on this game. Even though some of the Chelsea fans held banners criticising their own manager, the Blues still came through in 1-0 fashion to cement their position of 3rd. West Brom slid down the table a little, although supporters of the club will still be satisfied with their top half placing of 9th.
Everton 3 Reading 1
Everton meanwhile closed in on the top five courtesy of a comfortable victory over relegation-threatened Reading. Goals from Marouane Fellaini, Steven Pienaar and Kevin Mirallas set up the victory, with the visitors now in 19th position and one point adrift of safety.
Manchester United 4 Norwich 0
There were further goals at Old Trafford, with Manchester United edging closer to that title following an easy 4-0 victory over Norwich. Shinji Kagawa was the unlikely hero following a hat-trick, with the result meaning that United are now fifteen points ahead of 2nd. While the loss was a setback for Norwich, the Canaries still find themselves in a respectable 13th place.
Southampton 1 QPR 2
Arguably the biggest clash of the day happened at St Mary’s. Harry Redknapp made an unwelcome return to the club he relegated in 2004, with his QPR side aiming to pull themselves closer to Saints who sat two places outside of the drop zone. Southampton fans were desperate to pull one over on their former manager, yet Harry was to have the last laugh as a 77th minute Jay Bothroyd goal gave QPR the three points. It means the Rs are now just four points adrift from safety, while Saints missed the chance to extend the gap between them and the bottom three to six points.
Stoke 0 West Ham 1
This is one match which few people will have taken much interest in, with both of these sides looking set to finish the season in a stable mid-table position. However, Sam Allardyce will have felt a massive sense of relief following the game, after Jack Collison’s goal gave them their first away win since November. The result means the Hammers have caught Stoke up, with both clubs now fixed on thirty three points.
Sunderland 2 Fulham 2
Some people would also describe this as a mid-table affair, although others will suggest that Sunderland still need a few extra points to pull themselves away from the bottom three. They needed a 70th minute Stephane Sessegnon equaliser at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, with this arriving after a penalty from both sides and a goal from Fulham’s Sascha Riether.
Swansea 1 Newcastle 0
Many people are also debating if Newcastle are still in a relegation battle, with this defeat to Swansea putting them six points above 18th position. The Swans took the points courtesy of a late Luke Moore goal, with this taking the League Cup champions into 8th position.
