Whilst Chelsea fans will remind every other football fan that over the
last decade Chelsea have won the Premier League, UFEA Champions League
and a handful of F.A Cups, they'll be quiet on the topic of the number
of Mangers the club have had in the Roman Abramaovich era.
It's always a challenge to understand what exactly the plans of the
Russian Billionaire are as he's never given an interview before but
observing the behaviour of the club it's noticeable that the focus has
changed.
The fascination of the UFEA Champions League seems to of died down as
the Blues won it back in the 2012-2013 season but now the club seek
stability and dominance in the domestic league.
Despite winning the all these medals and achieving everything in club
football except the World Club Cup the foundations that were
originally made by Mourinho have not been rebuilt.
Now it's clear with last season appointing Mourinho as manager that
the club want to build a legacy at Stamford Bridge and this season is
where they are going to start this new chapter.
*- Manager –
Jose Mourinho Judge the Portuguese mastermind how you want as his
football at times can be seen as boring but Jose Mourinho's CV speaks
for itself.
The Manager has won the UFEA Champions League twice with two different
clubs as well as a handful of domestic cups and league titles in
Portugal, Italy, Spain and most importantly England.
With all this experience of winning titles in different countries and
already has won the Premier League before, Mourinho has a massive
advantage over his competitors.
Most importantly Mourinho's mind frame has matured and so has ambitions.
It wouldn't surprise anyone if Mourinho admitted that the journey he
has been on was exactly what he wanted all along but this chapter of
his career he has to show dominance over a long period of time to ever
be compared to the likes of Alex Ferguson.
Mourinho has already been dipping into to his "mind games" with some
of his comments to the press but the overall message the Portuguese
manager given is that he's here for long term.
However last season the gaffer said that it was a transitional season
despite the team finishing 3rd in the Premier League and just missing
out on their 3rd Champions League Final and after good business in the
Transfer Window we now wait to see what Mourinho can do.
*- New Signings
This summers transfer window has been a controversial for Chelsea as
legends like Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole left Stamford Bridge whilst
top players like Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas have joined the squad.
Not to forgot the large money exits from David Luiz and Juan Mata back
in the winter as well as the emotional return of Didier Drogba.
The two Spanish internationals Costa & Fabregas are set to make
Chelsea the complete team. Last season Costa had a fantastic campaign
in Spain and Fabregas is an already proven top Premier League player.
Also the return of the club legend Drogba brings back a previous
dimension to Chelsea's play that hopefully should create goals –
something that was noticeably missed last season.
The improvements in the striker area is key for Chelsea to even stand
a chance of winning anything this season so by replacing Eto'o and Ba
with Costa and Drogba, it's safe to say that Mourinho has done good
business.
*- Squad Depth
On the back of signing new players to strengthen squad it's now become
apparent the awesome squad depth that Chelsea now have.
The first indications that Chelsea had this power in numbers was
actually last season against Arsenal in a cup match. Chelsea's "Second
Team" could of arguable been their first team with the amount of
international stars who featured.
Mourinho has made it clear that he wants dominance in England this
season with every game being a must win and with this much depth of
quality spread over two teams, it's hard to name which team is the
"First Team" and which is the "Second".
With all this chelsea could be 2015/2016 Premier League Winner.
