Jose Mourinho has reported
Andre Schurrle is available for
selection ahead of tomorrow's
game against West Bromwich
Albion at Stamford Bridge, but
Nathan Ake is out.
A decision is still to be made
on whether or not Cesc
Fabregas plays.
Speaking to the media at
Cobham, the Portuguese
provided an injury update
following the recent
international break.
Schurrle and Fabregas
withdrew from their
respective national squads,
but Mourinho is hopeful both
players will be involved
tomorrow.
'Nathan Ake is injured, he hurt
his hamstring with the (Dutch)
national team and will be out
for a few weeks,' said
Mourinho.
'Diego Costa is totally
recovered, the same as
Schurrle. Fabregas trained
with the team today but it was
a very simple session. We will
make a decision and hopefully
he can play as it’s an
important game.
'Ramires can play, it's a bit like
the Liverpool game in that he’s
not in very good condition,
but he’s improving so he can
play.'
John Mikel Obi, who Mourinho
said has played despite being
injured in recent weeks, will
be assessed at Cobham today
having returned from Africa
Cup of Nations qualifiers later
than the rest of the squad.
 
'I knew they were good
additions to the team,'
Azpilicueta told Sport magazine.
'They're getting very good goals
and assists and making the
team play better.
'Costa is a strong player. He
holds the ball, he can shoot with
the right foot and the left foot. I
think he is a complete player
who can make the difference at
any moment. You cannot give
him any space.'
Azpilicueta has also hailed the
work of manager Jose
Mourinho: 'He has changed
everything, I think,' added the
Spaniard.
'The first year was difficult, but
now we have the stability he
brings. He's one of the best, and
I think both as a club and as a
team we are improving.
'I think we go step by step,
though, game by game. It's a
 
Jose Mourinho believes Chelsea
will lose games in the Premier
League this season, but not
because of complacency.
Chelsea have made a flying start
to the campaign and are
currently leading the Premier
League table on 29 points, four
points clear of second placed
Southampton.
They are unbeaten so far this
 
Game ya kesho tukishinda itatuweka pazuri sana. Natabiri matokeo mbovu kwa wanaotukaribia na tutaongeza gap dhidi yao
 
hiyo niliumia ila siyo sana coz umeme ulikatika half time dakika za nyongeza, so sikuishuhudia live .......

mi mechi niliyoumia roho ni BACELONA vs CHELSEA UEFA Semi final 2009 ....... refa aliwabeba Bacelona wazi wazi, mpaka leo nawachukia bacelona.

simkumbuki yule refa ila mpaka leo nammaindi.

Grand PA

hiyo hata mm iliniuma sana ila nilipozwa na Torres pale camp nou messi alipolia siku hiyo sijalala nikiangalia marudio nacheka sana Kwani tulizidiwa 98%
 
Kiukweli hatukizidiwa bali tulionesha uwezo mkubwa wa kujilinda. Siku ile man of the match wangu alikuwa yule jamaa mreno mwenye matatoo kibao...milaras jina kama hilo.
 
Tulijituma sana na kuwaonesha Barcelona kuwa tukitaka kuwafunga ni rahisi tu kama walivyofanya Ramires na Torres
 
Mourinho: One at a
time
With club football set to return
tomorrow following the
international break, Jose
Mourinho conducted his pre-
match press conference at
Cobham ahead of our home
game against West Bromwich
Albion, the first of 10 matches
between now and Boxing Day.
The Blues go into the contest
having enjoyed our best start
to a season, unbeaten in 17
matches across all
competitions and aware a
victory would extend our lead
over second-placed
Southampton, who play Aston
Villa on Monday, to seven
points.
With so many matches on the
horizon between now and the
festive period, Mourinho is
looking no further than the
next fixture.
‘I go match by match,’ said the
Portuguese. ‘I know we have
seven Premier League games,
plus two Champions League
games and one in the Capital
One Cup (up until Boxing Day).
‘My focus is on West Brom, not
West Ham on 26 December,
Tottenham or Stoke. We are
going to play just thinking
about West Brom, playing with
the team we think is the best
team.
‘I expect to win but I expect a
very difficult match. I always
expect to win, we go into
every game thinking that but
they have a good team. If you
look at our results – 2-1
against Liverpool, 2-1 against
QPR, 1-1 against Manchester
United - it’s difficult to get a
different type of scoreline so I
expect a tight match. They
know they can get a result
against us because they’ve
done it in the past.
‘The distance between
ourselves and our opponents
can increase or decrease
tomorrow, but I try to put my
team’s qualities in front of our
next opponents’ qualities and
we work based on this. I’m
not thinking about being
champions, finishing second
or finishing third, I’m just
thinking about winning
against West Brom, nothing
else. We want three points so
let’s see if we can do it.’
Both Andre Schurrle and Cesc
Fabregas had to withdraw
from their respective
international squads prior to
the recent round of fixtures,
but the manager had positive
news regarding the availability
of the two players when he
provided an injury update.
'Nathan Ake is injured, he hurt
his hamstring with the (Dutch
Under-21) national team and
will be out for a few weeks,'
said the manager.
'Diego Costa is totally
recovered, the same as
Schurrle. Fabregas trained
with the team today but it was
a very simple session. We will
make a decision and hopefully
he can play because it’s an
important game for us.
'Ramires can play, it's a bit like
the Liverpool game in that he’s
not in very good condition,
but he’s improving so he can
play.'
John Mikel Obi arrived back at
Cobham later than the rest of
the players who had been
away on international duty,
with Nigeria involved in an
Africa Cup of Nations
qualifying match on
Wednesday.
Mourinho has spoken in
recent weeks about the
midfielder playing for the
Blues despite being injured,
and he will be assessed at
Cobham today.
Diego Costa, scorer of the
winning goal in our 2-1
victory at Liverpool a fortnight
ago, is expected to lead the
line against Alan Irvine’s side.
The striker, along with some
of the other players not
involved in internationals, was
given an extended break
following the game at Anfield,
and Mourinho believes he is
now in a good place following
his recent injury troubles.
‘Diego has four yellow cards,
but am I going to protect him
from any game? No way, he
plays,’ said the Portuguese.
‘When he gets the fifth he gets
the fifth. The most important
game is West Brom. After that
the most important game is
Sunderland. With Diego we
have to go match by match
but we feel and he feels, with
the way he’s expressing
himself in training, that his
mind is free of fear, he’s good.
‘Now we are going to have a
period which is new to him.
The Christmas period for those
players doing it for the first
time in their career is more
difficult. The English players, or
players who have been here
for many years, are physically
and mentally adapted to cope
with the incredible marathon
of football we have to face.
‘In the past two weeks he’s
had a little holiday, which was
spent with a Chelsea physio,
so he was working many
hours per day. He’s going in
the right direction and at the
moment we feel he’s free from
the old injury.’
The Blues boss has often
spoke about his fondness for
the busy calendar over
Christmas in England, but
while it’s certainly a period he
enjoys from a personal point
of view, he acknowledges the
impact so many matches can
have on the players.
‘It’s a different phase, yes, but
it doesn’t mean we can train
more. In fact, the number of
matches is so high that the
days in between games are so
few it doesn’t improve our
training programme, but we
know what we have and the
good thing in England is it’s
the same for everyone,’ he
explained.
‘When you go to the second
part of the season and some
English teams are hopefully in
the Champions League and
Europa League, these teams
will pay the consequence of
such a different winter
compared to other countries.
‘It’s something I love, it’s very
difficult for me but especially
for the players and their
bodies, but it’s a beautiful
period. I look forward to the
marathon Christmas period.’
Such an impressive sequence
of results over the first part of
the campaign has seen us top
the Premier League table and
our Champions League group,
as well as reaching the
quarter-finals of the Capital
One Cup.
The importance of building on
our wonderful early-season
form can’t be understated,
however, and the manager
has total confidence his
players possess the mental
strength to kick on.
‘There will be no complacency,
that’s for sure,’ he said. ‘If we
lose matches, and I believe we
will, it won’t be due to
complacency, it will be
because football is football.
‘Against Maribor we lost two
points but it wasn’t because of
complacency, it was football.
Their goalkeeper was man of
the match and we missed so
many chances, but the team
was ready, the team played
well, especially in the second
half.
‘When you lose points in the
Premier League it’s because
the opponent was better than
you, not because of
complacency
 
Here are some statistics for you
to mull over:-
1- Last season Chelsea needed,
some would say, a dodgy penalty
in the last minute of stoppage
time to secure a 2-2 draw. It was
the first time that West
Bromwich had avoided defeat at
Stamford Bridge in ten visits.
2 - The last time West Bromwich
Albion won at Stamford Bridge,
in the league, was way back in
September 1978, when they beat
us 3-1.
3 - Chelsea enter this fixture with
the unique statistic of being the
only English side to have won all
their home league games this
season. In doing so they`ve also
managed to score twice.
4 - If Chelsea can avoid defeat
tomorrow, they`ll set a club
record of 12 unbeaten matches
in starting a top-flight season.
5 - In the last 13 league games at
Stamford Bridge Chelsea have
kept 10 clean sheets conceding a
mere 5 goals.
6 - Chelsea have fallen behind on
three occasions this season but
have managed to come back and
win all three.
7 - West Brom enter this fixture
on a poor run of form, in their
last 5 Premier League games
they`ve only won once.
8 - Last time out, West Bromwich
won away at Leicester but
Chelsea shouldn`t be overly-
concerned as West Brom have
not won back-to-back fixtures on
the road for two years.
9 - Chelsea need to be aware of
Saido Berahino, the West Brom
striker has scored 7 Premier
League goals this season more
than the rest of his team-mates
put together.
