http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Petr-Cech-c29837 has revealed he does not believe the Blues have a chance of claiming the Premier League crown after they drew against Swansea City on Tuesday.
The London side had an own goal to thank which saved them from the embarrassment of losing to Swansea City in the English Premier League. While they needed three points they had to make do with just one, which sees them at fourth place on the Premier League,
seven points behind third place Tottenham Hotspur.
This means they are 12 points behind league leaders Manchester United and Manchester City, which leaves them out of the title race. Even if the Blues go on to win the remainder of their fixtures, it is highly unlikely they will be able to come back from
their early season slump.
Cech said while speaking to reporters:
“We don't even have to mention the word 'title' because the Manchester clubs will not drop many points. That's the reality.
I still think it is realistic to target the third sport, though. For that we will need to succeed in Sunday's tough match (against Manchester United).”
According to Cech, the Blues had to set a more realistic title for themselves, which is the third place on the Premier League table. He sincerely believed his side could not overtake the Manchester sides and should be eyeing the third spot which the Spurs
were occupying.
As for the clash against Swansea City, Cech admitted the Blues were not at their best but felt they did well to improve in the second half. With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ashley-Cole-c6809 having been sent off, the Blues were down to ten men for the last few minutes of the match and the
Blues stopper felt the London side had done well to secure a draw.
He continued:
“In the first half, we were not playing well at all but after the break it was completely different.
We put Swansea under pressure, did not allow them to pass the ball at ease. However, once again we were unable to give the final pass into their box.
Even with 10 men we were pushing ourselves forward and the effort was rewarded with an equaliser in stoppage time.”
