Graham Potter, boss of Chelsea club has to come up with new strategies to lead his team to victories, especially since the last match of his club against Southampton resulted in their defeat. James Ward-Prowse, captain of Southampton was able to score a goal for his side, the only one that the Chelsea team was not able to prevent. It was a free kick that he delivered expertly before it was halftime. The Blues are now to figure out how to get their performance back on track, especially since they obtained a frustrating result in the last home match as well.
Chelsea was stunned by Southampton’s performance which also aided the latter to move off the bottom rungs of the leaderboard of the Premier League this season. It was also because Ceasar Azpilicueta, captain of the Blues team, was suffering from an injury at the time when this match was held. For the Saints also it was a much-needed win since they had not won a league game that they played away from home grounds. The last match they won was in October 2022 when they beat Bournemouth. In this game too, Chelsea was a strong opponent as they prevented the Saints from opening up easily. They also fended off attacks from the Saints successfully on several occasions.
Higuain has spent last 6 years of his career playing in Italy where it’s not like England, especially in terms of how defenders go about their business. There is not as much of physical presence as the forwards have to deal with in the Premiership and every forward needs a bit of time to get used to it.
It is quite similar to how the players played in France with Lille, the former club of Hazard. The Belgian forward is now left with only 2 years of the deal said he is unsure where is heart would take him. He has a great desire to play for Real Madrid, but he is happier to be with Chelsea. He knows what’s better for him and at the same time he wants to do good for the club as well as it has given him everything. It is indeed a hard decision to make for Hazard. He achieved his 8th goal of the season in 3-0 victory against Southampton this week and was happy to have played a great World Cup.
Speaking on BT Sport, Lampard said that Salah was confined to a wider role during his time at Stamford Bridge, and this sort of stunted his progress with competition from the likes of Willian and Eden Hazard. However, at Liverpool, Salah has been allowed to make precise movements from the right side of the attack, and Lampard was quick to highlight Salah’s similarities with Lionel Messi.
