even though Chelsea has a new coach it won't make Chelsea better in a matter of 1 or 3 months, whoever becomes Chelsea coach will not make their supporters satisfied quickly, when they lose they always ask for a change of coach and it's always like that, so the meeting Chelsea against Madrid later, of course, will be a meeting that might destroy Chelsea, but we will never know Chelsea might surprise them in the match against Madrid.
The new coach doesn't matter it still depends on players that are playing, this is also a gradual process. Between Chelsea and Real Madrid now the strong team among them is Madrid, if Chelsea win it will be a shock to me and if Madrid loss is going to be a surprise to me. Madrid is far stronger than Chelsea now, is going to be to early for the coach to win Madrid due the performance of the team, they are doing excellently now.
Assuming there is a new experienced coach, the story would have been different because the boys will definitely sit up in order to impress the new coach. But with Frank Lampard being repeated as a coach till the end of the season is not a good one for Chelsea.
Lampard previously failed in Chelsea, so what has he got this time to give. The boys won't be under pressure to perform. Maybe they will wait till next season when a new coach would be welcomed in order for them to perform.
In conclusion, I have never thought about Chelsea qualifying ahead of Real Madrid and last night action has made me to stick more to my believe.
