Joe Cole: Chelsea is not strong enough to compete with the Gunners and the Blues will not win the Premier League this season

Hupu News, October 31st This weekend, Chelsea will face Tottenham in the Premier League. In an interview with PaddyPower, Joe Cole talked about his views on this game.

Joe Cole said: "For many years, Chelsea's away games against Tottenham have traditionally been easier for Chelsea. This is due to Chelsea's team positioning and expectations. Now, the morale of the Tottenham team is high, and they are catching up with Chelsea - the point difference between the two teams is actually not big, but the atmosphere of this game "

"If Chelsea wants to defeat Tottenham at the weekend, they must rely on outstanding players like Pedro Neto, as well as Gittens, who contributed 1 goal and 1 assist against Wolves, and Esteban. For Chelsea, the goal will most likely come from the wing and midfielder. There have been goals scored in the period, but this game will still be a tough battle for Chelsea."

When asked what Chelsea considered "successful" this season, Joe Cole said: "Now, this refers to the fourth season during which Chelsea's current management has won two trophies. This is a newly established competition trophy, and its weight cannot be compared with the Premier League championship, the FA Cup, the Champions League championship or even the League Cup, but they do bring championship honors and reorganize the club's financial structure. "

"The reasonable expectation for Chelsea this season should be: to securely qualify for the Champions League and win. Launch a strong impact in the league. I think the current lineup of this team is not strong enough to compete with Arsenal - I am willing to publicly state that Chelsea cannot win the Premier League championship this season. "

"If Chelsea wants this season to be regarded as a 'successful', they need to secure Champions League qualification. And compared to last season, they are closer to the top of the standings. Next season, they must start to compete for important championship trophies, because by then the management's club building plan has entered its fifth year."

"You have to understand the thinking of the management. What Chelsea is doing now is the reorganization of the club. Work. Whether you agree with it or not, this is the direction of the club."

"I will explain this by analyzing the implication based on my understanding of the football club's operating model-obviously, the management will not publicly declare, 'Listen, we will not spend money as much as we did before. "They won't say that because it doesn't sound good, but as far as I know, they have to do it - Chelsea's financial situation was not good before, so they have to be smarter in their operations."
