The challenges of Benitez at Chelsea

From Acting to Acting and shot because I have. Roman Abramovich has been paid to their particular board game in which every so often throws the dice to fall into different boxes. With Chelsea as tab and with the passing football as a board, dice have wanted this time Roberto Di Matteo, from bridge to bridge, the current take him . His replacement until end of season, as was the Italian before winning the Champions League, Rafa Benitez is that after two years resumed his career in London after a discrete step six seasons in Milan and Liverpool, which started very well and regular term . His arrival at Stamford Bridge has not been free of controversy over his past network. Has five challenges ahead as the five titles that you choose.

Earn the City in the debut. Pure adrenaline to start. At home and in front of the leader and reigning Premier. Both sets share European hardships yet they are two world powers. Chelsea started well the ongoing aupándose the first place with some slack. However, the advantage was declining to the point that 20 days ago a draw against Swansea made him lose the throne. First in favor of the United-second and three points ahead of the Blues - and now the City-first with four-edge and are unbeaten in the domestic championship. After falling in the final game and score four without defeat, will be whether Benitez has been able in the few hours it takes to command transfer his ideas to his new charges. In the event, this Sunday at 17:00, we will be ready.

Qualifying for the Champions League knockout. A boat soon, seems impossible. Also amazing, because seeing the champion goodbye to the first change was not in the plans Abramovich. But the fact is that Chelsea does not depend on yourself to be in the second round, as a tie between the first two E-Shakhtar and Juve-enough to kill the hopes of the ultimate victor. Apparently having a meeting affordable, compared with nothing at stake Nordsjaelland and already in the match played in Denmark conceded four. Benítez clings to the sportiness of Ukrainians and Italians to reach second place.

Do the five titles? Except carnage before the Danish continental possible elimination will not have been responsible for Benitez, but of his predecessor. In any case, if he can access eighths compete for five titles. In the worst case, by four. In December the Club World Cup dispute, the first in a list where it can not be the Champions League, the priority is the Premier. Precisely the tournament which takes place in Japan is the last one did Benítez as coach, just before leaving for Inter . As Ferguson points out , the Spanish coach can have two World without achieving the 'Orejona' with their respective clubs. In 2005, as coach of Liverpool, where did manage the continental showpiece, he lost the final against Sao Paulo.

In the interim, nothing. Surprised Benitez's decision to accept coaching blue only until end of season. His argument to say yes to a post which is to last until early June is the opportunity for titles with Chelsea. Rafa's challenge is to be, first, make a hobby that is critical of his arrival, then achieve the victories that come to the titles and therefore a hypothetical renovation. There are few voices that say their landing in London is the preamble to the arrival of Pep Guardiola next summer, so it seems that for many targets to meet, Abramovich will not fall into the same mistake when Di Matteo renewed to make him king of Europe. Will have to see if it is a bird of passage or, conversely, manages to gain the trust of the Russian billionaire.

Strengthening the 'Spanish Chelsea'. One of the things he did when he led at Anfield Benitez was 'españolizar' a template than responded to technical requirements. He hit full in the recruitment of Fernando Torres, a former idol in the city of the Beatles, and they managed to give the global scale that led him to sign for Chelsea in January 2011 in exchange for 58 million euros. Since then, Torres has had occasional good performances , with the departure of Drogba and continuity of Di Matteo had overtones of increase. Although their numbers have improved-something not very complicated given that last year scored 6 goals in Premier and today adds 4 -, Children do not just explode for so many years as did his predecessor. Benitez will have him, Mata, Oriol and Spanish representatives Azpilicueta as a template with a talent so abundant untapped. You have work to do, as I leave.
