Petr Cech admits Chelsea’s mid-season slump and Manchester United’s consistency helped decide the outcome of the season
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Petr-Cech-c29837 has gone to admit that the reason Chelsea are not going to be winning the Premier League trophy this term, is due to the mid-season slump that the Blues suffered. On the other hand, the keeper has gone on to state that Manchester
United’s consistency throughout the season, has been their biggest weapon this term and has helped them go head and shoulders above the rest.
When talking about his side’s poor form, Cech is reported to have said:"In December and January we dropped so many points and gave advantage to the others, especially Manchester United.”
The keeper then went on to turn his attention to United and how their consistency has been sublime this term and that has ultimately led to them almost landing their 19th league title. "If you look at the season as a whole, they were more consistent,
which is why they have the title"
However, when asked as to why his side didn’t perform to their true potential this season, the keeper was kind of stumped. Cech found it difficult to find the reasons for the Blues failing to build on their success from last season, but stated that all he
could do, was hope for the best and see how that goes.
The keeper ended by stating:"It is difficult because when you are at a big club with a lot of expectations you want to constantly win things.
"Sometimes it is a hard job to do, but sometimes this is the way it is in football.
"As a player, you try your best to make things happen and the rest is up to others."
It is easy to see where Cech is going with this. Chelsea at one point in the season were stranded in the fifth spot in the Premier League standings and looked like they would find it close to impossible to even make it into the top three. On the other hand,
United have been putting in some brilliant performances all season long. The team has been close to impossible to beat at home, while their away performances have also been rather impressive.
In order for Chelsea to find a way back and try and put some pressure on United next season, they are going to have to do a lot of hard work in the summers. It is expected that there is going to be a drastic change at Stamford Bridge in the summers and hopefully,
the outcome of that change would see Chelsea get back in contention to land a number of trophies next season.
