Tottenham need to find a "lifeline"
After two consecutive losses without even 1 point, Spurs showed signs of losing steam even though the season has just entered the acceleration stage.
Mourinho is an experienced player and is very good at handling things. However, when football plays with a "knowing where" situation, the Bo coach should probably know how to accept defeats like the most recent defeat against Brighton. Because, when the defending champion Liverpool fell to this opponent or M.U lost to Sheffield, everything could now happen.
Mourinho is very good at using things, but when the team focused too much on a few individuals and had no replacement, his Tottenham were caught. Harry Kane is injured again and it is not known what the situation is, Son Heung-min cannot accelerate from home to the opponent's goal every match to score.
Those are things Mourinho expected but how to solve when he was mocked while digging holes in a golf course for Gareth Bale to entertain. A summer of unsuccessful trading and a gloomy winter forced Tottenham to be self-reliant.
In fact, the "Roosters" have only played 20 matches and have 33 points, 7 points behind Liverpool in 4th place. If they do well in their make-up matches, Spurs will have a big breakthrough. But first of all, they have to deal with Chelsea.
Chelsea are changing and need a milestone
No version of Chelsea has held and passed as many balls during the Premier League as Thomas Tuchel is doing now.
The Blues under the German coach have changed, although not really impressive. However, if it does not change, he will die. If Frank Lampard continues to do things, things will get worse. The way Chelsea play now is not like the way Tuchel played at PSG, but at least since the foggy country, Tuchel has not lost and is breathing new life.
Like Tottenham, Chelsea need a big boost to prove that what they are doing under Tuchel is right. The Blues will have a better advantage in terms of form and need to be maintained to continue to flourish. The English authorities believe that most of Chelsea will leave with 1 point, but their valuable stars are unlikely to want that.
Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz are under too much pressure. They need to be released in a big match to save themselves, avoid becoming a "river" in a tough tournament. Tuchel has done a very good job of ideological work for the valuable students and now it is time for them to shine.
The match between Tottenham and Chelsea takes place at 3:15 a.m. on January 5 (Vietnam time), live on K+.
