Chelsea are currently undergoing a feel-good period as the Blues have bounced backed from the humiliating defeat against Manchester City a few weeks ago. The Blues face Dynamo Kyiv in the return leg of the Europa League on Thursday but have started preparation for the offseason.
Former Arsenal striker Thiery Henry was relieved of his duties as the head coach of Monaco over the weekend following the dismal spell the Frenchman has overseen since taking over the reins at the club.
AC Milan is now targeting on a young star of Chelsea besides the deal of Cesc Fabregas. The giants of Serie A are going through an injury crisis in the midfield, as their regular players, Giacomo Bonaventura and Lucas Biglia are out until the beginning of the New Year.
Cesc Fabregas gave a hint that he is open to return to Arsenal when the Chelsea deal comes to an end. The 31 year old midfielder spent close to 8 years with Gunners and won the FA Cup in the year 2005 prior to his movement to Barcelona in 2011. Thereafter, he was back to the Premier League after 3 years to become a part of Chelsea. There is no denying that he had a greatest career at Stamford Bridge. He is yet to begin a Premier League game this season for the Blues, but he has not given up.
Cesc Fabregas is quite hopeful that he would convince Chelsea to give him a fresh contract. As the deal of this midfielder comes to an end next summer, he very well knows that the ball is now in the court of Chelsea. Fabregas is happy working under Maurizio Sarri and the midfielder who had to miss the beginning of the season due to an injury simply refuses to leave. Fabregas said he is open about it and said that he only has 8 months remaining at the club. He wishes to stay at the club as he has been happy being there for 4 years. The midfielder has seen success and achieved many victories. He has a great understanding and rapport as far as his fans and players are concerned. He still feels he has a lot more to give to this game and leaves it to the club to decide about renewing his contract.
Cesc Fabregas with his new wife Daniella Semaan has extended celebrations of their wedding as they decided to host a wedding bash at Ibiza. The wedding bash was an eventful one as the Spanish footballer was accompanied by many premier league friends and his wife was definitely the center of attraction as she wore a lacy wedding gown. Cesc and his wife embraced each other along with their children on the red carpet, which was definitely worth a glimpse. The ex-Chelsea captain John Terry was a part of the wedding event along with his wife. He needed a break from all the rumors about his retirement post leaving Aston Villa. Terry enjoyed his time with his friends and family thoroughly. He looked dashing in his stone grey suit and his wife wore a khaki dress which added to her beauty.
Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas has playfully offered to play Argentina after their friendly game with Israel was called off. Due to protests and ongoing concerns about the safety of the players, the Albiceleste had to cancel their agreements with the Israeli FA for a friendly game.
Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has stated that the only reason why his team was beaten in the match against Manchester City is that the opposition had more rest than themselves. He said that Manchester City was allowed the luxury of an additional day rest despite the fact that they played at home in the Champions League.
For the Spanish midfielder, there was not much between the two teams, and it is only the schedule that allowed Manchester City to win the game.
Blackburn Rovers have lofty ambitions of returning to the Premier League this season, but inconsistent form at the start of the season is threatening to cost them an automatic promotion spot. Under the managerial reign of Gary Bowyer, the team has had three wins in the last five matches. However, they have also suffered two defeats during the same period and this inconsistent form places them just 10th in the table already several points behind leaders Nottingham Forest. There are still several matches left in the Championship season, but midfielder Corry Evans says that it is vital to find consistent form in order to get automatic promotion.
Inconsistent teams rarely find themselves closer to the top two places. They may have to settle for a play-off place, while in some cases it may also not be available. After a lot of struggles in the last two seasons, Blackburn finally appear to have a steady team that manager Bowyer can rely upon. Despite transfer rumours surrounding star names like Jordan Rhodes, Blackburn ended up keeping most of the important players during the summer. They will be aware that this situation may not last long since the parachute payments from the Premier League are set to run out soon.
Evans has been a key player and has played in all of the league matches this campaign. “The nature of this league is there are so many good teams who all think they can go and get promoted this year. I think it’s the toughest it’s been for a number of years and so it’s just about finding the consistency. The teams who have the most consistency usually come out on top – and we definitely have to find that. We have got to go to Fulham on Saturday and try and pick up points and get back to winning ways,” said Evans.
Blackburn Rovers midfielder Corry Evans states that he wants the club to achieve promotion back into the Premier League in the new Championship season. After being relegated to the second division of English football two years ago, Blackburn have been struggling to find consistent form that would enable them to compete in a play-off match or even qualify automatically to the top division. Their first season in the Championship after long time ended almost in a fight against relegation, while last season they finished a disappointing mid-table place.
A threat for the play-offs or even the automatic places never materialised throughout the campaign, but Evans says that he wants this to change in the new campaign. Last season, the club finished the campaign on a 12 match unbeaten run. Should they continue this in the new campaign, they could very well be in a position to finish in the top sides towards the end of the campaign. The club start the new season with a home match against Cardiff, who have just been relegated from the Premier League. Hence, this is a difficult match for Gary Bowyer’s men.
Upcoming matches against the likes of Blackpool, Norwich, and Wolverhampton Wanderers also look potentially tricky fixtures for the 1992 Premier League champions.
“We’re wanting to get promotion, be it automatic or through the play-offs; that’s our goal. It’s really everyone’s goal in this division because anyone can beat anyone. But I think the experience we had as a team last year gelled us well. We know our style and we know the way we want to play. Hopefully we can put that into good practice this year. It’s important we start with a bang and put a marker down for where we go from there,” said the former Hull City midfielder ahead of the new season.
