The reality of Chelsea It has nothing to do with the expectation that had arisen at the beginning of 2023. The 600 million euros of reinforcements, of which more than 120 are needed to sign the world champion Enzo Fernándezmade them imagine Blues elsewhere: with only one victory out of 10 possible between the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions, the present has restless fans.
They fell 1-0 on their visit to last week Borussia Dortmund for the Champions League and continued on a losing streak by receiving the southampton for the Premier, a match that ended with a new defeat and the same result. In this context -one win, four draws and five defeats-, the previous match against Tottenham Sunday got out of hand.
Trainer Graham Potter He said he received death threats in his email to him and his children. “The fans have told me they want me and my kids to die”was the title with the text published on the cover of the Daily Mirror Sports. “You have to be very careful”added the English strategist, again in relation to the unfortunate threats received.
There is no more hope locally, Potter He has a key duel ahead of him this Sunday when he visits neighbor Tottenham to rear his head. In any case, aspirations will be set to reverse the series against Dortmund for the round of 16 of the Champions League on March 7 in London for the second leg.
Threatened and in danger?
There are already rumors in England that Chelsea’s new owner Todd Boehly will sack Potter from his post. It seems that the millions that have been put on the market to improve the level of football are not enough: the team is not responding and the next move would be to move the coach.
In this context, as reported by The Sun, there are five names that would be the first to be targeted: Thomas Tuchel (whom they replaced five months ago), Roberto De Zerbi (current Brighton manager), Mauricio Pochettino, Zinedine Zidane and even José Mourinho.
