Sealing the deal is
what the Pensioners Boss Antonio Conte is looking forward next Friday night,
when he and his Blues are looking forward to deliver his first Premiership
title.
In addition, a sixth
shield delivered to the halls of Stamford Bridge.
After a Friday night
loss of their closest chasers the Tottenham Spurs at the hands of the Hammers. This pave the way for these Londoners to yield openly “We are the Champions” come Friday May
12.
As the league campaign
coming to its end and playing its last matches of another contested campaign, today's match between the hosts Blues to relegation prone Middlesbrough FC.
For Chelsea coming to
this match with the confidence of winning this match and the rival in front,
still the outcome of this match could turn in favor of the visitors as they
state that there is no such thing than an easy foe.
Still this was the
locals night and this match in its entirety belonged to the Boys in Blue as their
sheer dominance in the whole ninety minutes of play this squad initial eleven
played a one of a kind match worthy of a champion’s squad.
Long gone are the pressure
of their closest and cross town foe the Spurs that after their defeat in their
last match, opened the doors to open up the champagne and decorate the Barclays
Shield with Blue ribbons all over the silverware.
Forget last campaign
debacle and its prejudices as the past is long gone and buried and the present
is on with an everlasting project that in blueprint became a reality for its
creator in its Italian master.
Another campaign in Premiership
that endures another champion with an Italian in its helm, as you may recall in
Claudio Rainieri delivering his first ever shield in this league with Leicester
City.
So far with an initial
eleven poised to deliver all sorts of high and spectacular football to more
than 41,000 in attendance, and the end the Pensioners did not disappointed its followers
with a raucous 3-0 win over a decimated Boro.
Just plain speaking
this squad played a top of the line football and after a certain bumps in the
road encountered, Manager Conte leveled the ship and his squad did not surrendered
the top until in the final months when the Lilywhites came a bit close.
Still today's match
was a picture perfect one for the Pensioners, as Manager Conte sent a 3-4-2-1
formation with Pedro and Eden Hazard supporting a lone attacker in Diego Costa,
the architect of opening the score in the 23rd minute.
No later, the Blues
presence felt heavily by a reduced Smoggies backfield seeing the dominance in
the local’s attackers looking to stretch the scoreboard and these really did it.
In a match that saw Cesc
Fabregas getting his name in the record books and David Luiz too by appearing in his
715th match and a nice round of applause to a leaving giant in its defense in John
Terry, this was a Blue kind of a day.
In the other side of
the coin a goodbye for the Boro Boys going, back to the abyss of relegation as the
second squad to do so in this campaign and now wait for the third between Hull
City and Swansea.
However, this squad
persevered and looking forward to this coming Friday, when they play the always-hardened
Baggies at their home and celebrate loudly in the West Brom Albion venue.
At the end, kudos for
a superb campaign were many thought that this association would been a bit big
for the Italian and at the end he quiet a lot of people with this shield.
As much state, that
Chelsea did not have any participation in European competitions, but this is
for next campaign and another big test for the second year man Antonio Conte, Bravissimo
signore!
