For Chelsea , the team's performance this season has basically met expectations. In the first 11 games, they won 6 victories and 3 draws, suffered 2 losses, and scored 21 points, ranking 4th in the standings. Overall, after Porter came to the team, Chelsea still showed different game content in : in terms of skills and tactics, the team seemed richer, and in terms of fighting spirit, Chelsea also seemed more tenacious than before. It is foreseeable that with Porter's further formation of the team's tactical system, this team is expected to perform better in the next period of this season. Although Chelsea did not have enough advantage in the championship competition, it is still quite promising to ensure the top 4 after the end of the season.
From the team's tactical level, compared with the predecessor, Porter does have his own unique style in tactical thinking. From the perspective of the game process, in most games, Chelsea is the side that controls the rhythm of the game, and they have quite good game control. Although the offensive fluency needs to be improved, overall, Chelsea still maintains a pretty good competitive level. Moreover, judging from the process of in the past few games, Porter has shown the potential to become a famous coach, especially in terms of on-the-spot adjustments. He seems very decisive and the adjustment effect is immediate. This reflects his excellent game reading ability and excellent on-the-spot decision-making ability. However, due to the unevenness of Chelsea's overall lineup, Porter also has a sense of "a skillful woman cannot cook without rice". After the transfer window opens again, the team will inevitably continue to sign in some weak positions, so as to further improve the overall strength.
Especially on the offensive end, as mentioned earlier, compared with the team's overall performance, Chelsea's offensive state is not ideal. This season, they have scored 16 goals in 11 league games, and averaged only 1.45 goals per game. Efficiency like is obviously unable to help the team achieve their established goals. Among all the players in Chelsea, the one with the most goals is still Sterling . He scored 3 goals in the league. However, in the past two months, the England international has lost all its results. Although performed well in the first few games he came to the team, as the season progressed, Sterling's shortcomings of poor ability to seize opportunities and poor decision-making on the court have been revealed. Many times, Sterling's choices in dribbling and passing timing are not ideal, and when he gets the chance, he doesn't have enough finishing ability to help the team score goals. Judging from the current situation, Sterling will definitely not become Porter's most important attacker in the rest of the league.
However, what made Porter very embarrassed was that he did not have a more suitable choice in the team except Sterling. Especially in the center position, the two center players in the team, Aubameyang and Bloya are not in good condition. Among them, Aubameyang scored 1 goal in 4 league games, and Broya only scored 1 goal after playing 9 times and playing time of 176 minutes. For the 21-year-old, while he still has enough time to realize his potential, he can't contribute enough to the team at least this season. Therefore, from the team level, after the winter transfer window of opens, they need to find a player with excellent scoring ability in the transfer market to completely improve the team's lack of offensive efficiency.
In addition, the team's performance in is not satisfactory in the midfield. From the perspective of existing players in the team, after Porter came to the team, Jorginho and Zeke got a lot of playing time. However, the shortcomings of these two players are very obvious, that is, their running ability is relatively average, and their contributions to the team on both offense and defense are quite limited. On the offensive end, their ability to pass forward is not ideal, and their effect of plugging in the offense is not good.More importantly, they are unable to help the team's defense enough, which is one of the important reasons why Chelsea has performed poorly in defense this season. According to ESPN, Frankie De Jong has become an important candidate for Chelsea to sign in the midfield. From the technical perspective, Frankie DeJong has excellent reading and passing vision, and has a very positive attitude in defense, and has a good coverage on the court. It is reported that in order to complete this transfer, Chelsea is willing to pay the midfield superstar an 85 million euro transfer fee.
However, even if the team performs poorly in the midfield position, Porter seems to be unwilling to give a player a chance to play, he is Zacharia. This season, after coming to the team, the Swiss international has never played for Chelsea in official matches. According to Italian media, Chelsea has made a decision and they will terminate the contract with the midfielder in advance. This means that Zakaria will be "swept out" by the team during the winter break and leave the Stamford Bridge Stadium. (The picture is from the Internet.
