Chelsea s first Premier League draw, the red lights are on ahead of schedule

A focus battle in the first round of the Premier League ended not long ago. The Club World Cup champion Chelsea, who played at home, unexpectedly failed. They were tied 0-0 by the visiting Crystal Palace, and the road to winning the championship was also lit up in advance.

In this summer's New Club World Cup, Chelsea's performance undoubtedly made many fans lit up. They passed the championship without being optimistic and won the championship trophy in surprise. The Blues' outstanding performance also convinced countless fans who support them that under the leadership of young coach Maresca, Chelsea has returned to their peak. Their goal in the new season is no longer to compete for four and qualify for the Champions League, but to challenge league overlords like Manchester City and Liverpool and win the long-lost league championship.

However, what everyone did not expect was that Chelsea suffered a blow in the first round of the Premier League. In the home game against Crystal Palace, the Blues firmly controlled the ball as soon as they came up. However, facing Crystal Palace's tight defense, they could not find a good way to score. Instead, the opponent's offense repeatedly poses threats. In the 13th minute, Eze scored directly with a free kick, helping Crystal Palace to take a 1-goal lead. However, after being reminded by the referee on the off-court video, the referee went to the sidelines to watch the video in person and changed the score to be invalid.

Regarding this slightly controversial change, the Premier League officials later issued an explanation. It turned out that Gerry Guy, a player from Crystal Palace No. 6, was less than one meter away from the defensive wall when his teammate shot. Therefore, the referee changed the decision and scored an invalid goal.

Unfortunately, Chelsea, who survived the disaster, did not wait for his future luck. Although they have since changed players and launched wave after wave of fierce attacks around the opponent's goal, whether it is Estewan's turn and shot in the penalty area or Drapp's close-range shot, they all missed the goal. Chelsea, who was unable to score in the end, had to accept a 0-0 draw and only scored 1 point for their home debut.

The favorites Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham who finished the championship earlier all successfully grabbed 3 points. Although the league has just started, Chelsea's road to winning the championship has already lit up a red light in advance. Now the pressure has come to head coach Maresca. Chelsea can rely on impact to drag down their opponents when facing a strong team, but when facing a team that is not as strong as their own, breaking intensive defense has become a difficult problem before them. If you want to win the league championship, the most important thing is to stabilize the scores on the weak team. If you can't do this, Chelsea's desire to win the cup is tantamount to dreaming!

In the next round of the game, Chelsea will go away to challenge West Ham United. I wonder when their first league win will come?
