Even this season, fans hope that Chelsea can compete with other strong teams such as Liverpool and Arsenal. Management has entrusted the coaching chair to Enzo Maresca and he must be able to take Chelsea in a better direction this season. As usual, management gives big money to the coach in the transfer market and this must be maximized to recruit quality players.
The expectations have always been the same in recent seasons but changing Chelsea's performance from mediocre to very good and being able to compete better in the race for champions or at least in the top 4 is still not easy because the challenges for Chelsea are still very much.
Currently Chelsea still cannot fix the internal problems they have faced since 2 seasons in the Todd era so it is certain that this will interfere with the performance which ultimately affects the stability of the club.
This season will also not be much different because seeing from what is happening now we must be aware that in the end Chelsea still seems ordinary even after several friendly matches were held, it actually made them seem even more mentally down because they could not show their best performance.
Although it cannot be denied that friendly matches are sometimes not only about winning but also from other aspects that are seen but we can also definitely see that in the end the situation they had at the beginning of this season still does not show signs that Chelsea has changed for the better.
Yes, they have to fix this because the weaknesses always come from the poor performance of Chelsea management, whether in recruiting players or they always fire coaches. I was surprised by their performance because like the Chelsea team, of course they can recruit great coaches who have experience to improve the team's performance. But one side of the management lacks confidence, they always fire coaches who have a bad impact on the situation in the team.
Tood has to change his attitude if he wants Chelsea to be the top team in competing for the title because he has to learn from what other teams like Arsenal or Liverpool have done. It does take time but in just two seasons they have always failed to show their consistency with what they have done. Yep, the results of friendly matches are not yet an appropriate benchmark for assessing team performance because in friendly matches no all the main players are fielded.
