PILI AMARGO
Chelsea captain César Azpilicueta criticized the club’s disorders behind the Champions League match against Sevilla.
The Blues have only targeted in five Prem games this season.
And Spanish defender Azpi, 31, scored: “When you’re weak defensively, we feel like we have to score 3 or 4 in each and every game.
“I see football as a collective. When we don’t mark as a defense, I think about how we can put our forwards in more important situations.
“In a season, you’re not going to win 3-0 or 4-0 every week. You have to paint to get effects and at the moment we want that. “
ARD TO TAKE
Frank Lampard shared his opinion on Liverpool central defence talisman Virgil Van Dijk.
The Dutchman underwent surgery after injuring his anterior cruciate ligament after a terrible blow from Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford on Sunday.
Chelsea’s manager said: “I think Virgil van Dijk is obviously an exceptional player. He is one of the defenders of world football and has been for two or three seasons.
“The loss of a player of this quality and length will affect any team because Americans and the quality of individual players like that make huge differences.
But we’re talking about Liverpool, we’re talking about a team that’s built, that’s so strong, with a wonderful coach, so of course no one needs to lose a player like that and obviously I wish him the most productive when I see this kind of injury, but it remains to be noticed how much it affects Liverpool.
VERY FRANK
Frank Leboeuf was not inspired by the early years of Kai Havertz’s life in Chelsea, admitting that he did not convince through the 72 million pound man.
Speaking about ESPN FC after the 3-3 draw with Southampton, Leboeuf said: “I’m not convinced by Havertz, I’m not that optimistic, I’m very satisfied with Werner, it’s genuine satisfaction.
“Thiago Silva is back because it is very important for Chelsea to have a genuine leader behind them and that is the biggest problem.
“Everyone has to work hard physically to make sure they can play in combination and be more powerful in combination.
He continued: “I’m not convinced about Chelsea right now, it’s like they don’t know each other, they don’t have enough compatibility, I’m very worried.
“I’m going to give you the advantages of doubt because I don’t know what you’re worth, but, really, if you stay that way, you may not end up in the four most sensible. . . “
DON’T DO RANDOMLY IN DECEMBER
Declan Rice was invited to stay and be the “captain, chief, legend” of West Ham.
The Hammers have retained their most productive flexible player in the movement window despite growing interest from other clubs.
And first-team coach Stuart Pearce believes that the appeal of short-term glory in one of England’s top beloved elites is not the only thing in his career.
He said, “In other words, I probably testify of that. I played football where I enjoyed playing football and refused cash to stay where I was happy.
“My greatest driving force is probably betting on the national team. Now I have the same feeling with Dec: he’s incredibly proud to set up England.
“He will make his own decisions, but in West Ham we have the possibility of having an existing captain, Mark Noble, who has been here for several years and has shown wonderful loyalty to the club. “
“I like that Dec will be at West Ham in the coming years, leading the club to success. “
IN VICTOR, NO SPOILS
Victor Moses is believed to have abandoned his wage demands to seal a Moscow Spartak loan movement, according to reports.
The Chelsea outcast, who fell on the Frank Lampard line, accepted the pay cut in an attempt to secure his passage to the former Russian champions beyond the line.
Spartak boss Shamil Gazizov told Russian Daily Sport Express: “The footballer who will play for Spartak.
“That’s the highest point. And everything else is special.
“He didn’t come here to make money. Yes, [he makes less] but only a little.
“If we’re in the Champions League, we can.
“You can buy it if you play a safe number of matches. If we move on to the Champions League with him, I don’t think there’s any doubt.
RUDDY HELL
Everton declined to sign Antonio Rudiger this summer, he reports.
Chelsea’s central defender was left out after Thiago Silva’s arrival.
Rudiger appeared on loan to the Toffees, but Carlo Ancelotti turned them down.
According to Athletic, it all comes down to finance.
Chelsea sought five million pounds to cover loan prices and the entirety of their weekly salary of fifteen thousand pounds paid in full.
FIELDS OR CHUMPS
Frank Lampard has warned his players of the “hard” character of the Champions League.
Blues manager saw his team lose two-goal merit twice to Southampton this weekend.
And the manager admitted that there is no margin for error as they are ready to face the Europa League champion, Sevilla.
He said on Chelsea’s official website: “The players who were here last year, and speaking of young players especially at Bayern Munich games due to strong opposition, this would have been a curve for them.
“It’s the Champions League; is the most productive club festival in world football. They will be bigger for it; they’ll need it this year. We’ll see everything they’ve learned.
“Among the players we’ve recruited, some enjoy the Champions League more than others.
“We have more young players, so it’s vital that we check to make sure we’re informed as we go, because the Champions League is very fierce.
You have to have an absolute concentration by the point of groups you play, and especially when we start opposing Seville. “
NO N’GO AREA
N’Golo Kante needs to remain at Chelsea despite being attacked by Real Madrid and Inter Milan, according to reports.
Kante, 29, has no preference for leaving Stamford Bridge in the “short to medium term” and is pleased to see his contract, which ends in 2023, according to Le10Sport.
Boss Frank Lampard shares the same sentiment and insisted that the midfielder still plays a role in Bridge.
Speaking of Kante, he said: “I think almost every club in the global would need N’Golo Kante.
“I’ve also noticed those reports. He’s a player and a user, and in fact, I don’t need to lose him. It’s basic to what I’m looking to do. “
Lampard’s admission comes after Chelsea was forced to deny accusations that there was a rift between the two.
Crazy barking
Aston Villa boss Dean Smith has promised Ross Barkley that he will join next summer’s Euros team.
The on-loan Chelsea midfielder scored the winning goal in Villa’s 1-0 win at Leicester on Sunday night.
Without delay, he took over after his career to back off with the Blues.
Smith told Sky Sports: “He’s a very sensible player. I’m grateful to Chelsea for lending it to us.
“I sold him the position here and told him I’d take him to the Euros team and he’d look for us to win football games. In fact, he did it in his first couple. “
“I couldn’t have any more. Being blue, taking that win and scoring against the Reds (in a 7-2 win before the foreign break) and then achieving it in the 91st minute could not have been a better start for him or us.
HAK-IN ZIYECH
Chelsea will receive Sevilla on Tuesday for the opening of the Champions League season.
Frank Lampard will probably be watching for Saturday’s massive Premier League clash with Manchester United.
But the Blues manager will send his most productive XI to face the europa League protective champions at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues took a 2-0, 3-1 lead to a 3-3 draw with Southampton this weekend.
It’s also a story for Lampard with individual bugs that load next to him.
He said after the game: “I didn’t need to play brave football in the last moments of the game.
“It’s my message to them that I was looking for them to spend more time and break the press. I don’t think the players did enough.
“We’ve tried to play too much and some of that is based on the players who need to watch and play football.
‘It’s anything. I am not a big supporter of the upper tension because you can do anything is lose the tension to raise the ball to the area and use the players at the other end of the area.
“It’s probably my greatest sadness that the players didn’t get into action. “
KEEP WITH KEPA
Frank Lampard will have goalkeeper Edouard Mendy back on the stick for Chelsea’s next two massive games.
Les Bleus receive Sevilla in their first Champions League match before heading to Manchester United this weekend.
Kepa Arrizabalaga still had another howler in the 3–3 draw with Southampton and guilty for the second away.
When asked when the 22 million pound gatekeeper would have compatibility after his hamstring recovery, Lampard said, ”Mendy is injured at the moment and will probably have compatibility in the next week or two weeks, then it will be up to me who plays’. .
Schools
Arsene Wenger said her dating with Jose Mourinho “was like a kindergarten” as the consequences continued.
Wenger’s autobiography, My Life in Red and White, came to light this month, more than two years since the 70-year-old left Arsenal after 22 years in command.
But gunners legend has left out any inclusion by their rival Mourinho because he sought it to be a ‘positive book’.
Former Chelsea and Manchester United coach responded by insisting that his omission in Wenger’s memoir “because he never beat me. “
But Wenger replied and said to Canal, “I don’t care. It’s a constant provocation.
“I feel like I’m in kindergarten with him. But that’s a component of his personality.
“It’s wrong, we beat him twice. We won and there were also a lot of draws. And it’s not you who wins, you just take part in the victory.
“It’s ‘we’ who win. The coach is there to get the most out of a team. “
GOOD MORNING CHELSEA FANS!

“When you give him space, it’s hard to protect himself from him. The first goal, we made it too simple for him.
“It’s hard to protect against him. When you’re not near Timo and Kai Havertz, they’re going to kill you.

Timo Werner lashed out at Chelsea’s defensive in Saturday’s 3–3 draw with Southampton.

“I think we have to work because six goals in 3 games is too much. I think we want to be better at that.

“You can see why it’s in the grades it has.
“I can take a look at what you’re doing and see how professional you are. You see him in the gym taking care of his body and making sure he’s okay for the games.
“What you’ve done in the afterlife will transfer to what you’re doing here, and we’ll all do that. “
NERVOUS SHIPWRECK
Former professional Alan Shearer believes Chelsea’s defensive disorders can leave Boss Frank Lampard on a ‘bundle of nerves’.

“Frank must have been a bundle of nerves every time the ball came close to his defense because Southampton caused them all sorts of trouble.
“They bring [Hakim] Ziyech, error 15-20 minutes from the end. Keep the ball, you can’t give it away so easily.
‘But to be fair to Southampton, they stand still, check the press, get a loose kick and it’s no wonder loose kick, the ball comes in, they don’t do well enough, he goes back to [Theo] Walcott and he takes it to [Jannik] Vestergaard.
“Southampton deserved his point because they believed so much more, in the middle of the moment. “

“We only have one or two days, an education consultation with all the players in combination, so of course it’s different, but each and every team has to deal with it, not just us. We didn’t have much preparation, so now we have to paint hard and stay in combination to do better next time. “
