Chelsea vs Valencia
Frank Lampard will debut as UCL manager with Chelsea this week. They will face Valencia in the first week of Group H. Victory at Stamford Bridge will make them confident.
As is known, Frank Lampard’s initial campaign with the Blues was not very convincing because they had to wait until match day 3 EPL to win the inaugural victory. However, they began to show tajinya in the fifth week yesterday when successfully threw Wolves with a 2-5 position. In particular, Tammy Abraham deserves appreciation after contributing a hat-trick.
The same score also closed Valencia’s visit to Camp Nou, only they were defeated. Los Che supporters were furious about the game because they had conceded twice in just the first 7 minutes. The second goal scored by Maximiliano Gomez is also just entertainment because it was born at 92 minutes’.
With that result, Valencia means it has swallowed two defeats in the first four weeks of La Liga. The bad news, the first defeat was also received in away games, precisely against Celta Vigo, so this became a bad trend ahead of the visit to London. Finally, they went there in 2011 with a score of 3-0 for the host.
Chelsea itself is not without problems; apart from the party yesterday, they have a record of conceding which is quite worrying, which is 11 times only in the first 5 weeks of the EPL. They will also lose Antonio Rudiger who has a thigh injury, while N’Golo Kante is still undergoing treatment. On the front lines, Christian Pulisic reportedly will go down from the beginning to replace Willian.
The results of tomorrow’s match will be crucial for Chelsea; in addition to earning first points in Group H, victory will also help them gain self-confidence before battling Liverpool in the sixth week of the EPL.
