Thibaut Courtois Rubbishes Rumors about Sparks Pressure on Blues

Posted on by index

Thibaut Courtois denies that the Blues are getting too concerned about the magnificent victory streak that the Spurs are having in the Premiership at the moment.


The Spurs have not tasted any defeat in the last 9 weeks and have managed to lessen the points’ difference between them and Chelsea which is the topmost team in the Premiership at this juncture.

Courtois says that he and his teammates prefer to think about themselves rather than thinking about their rivals. They would surely be happy if Tottenham fails to fetch points, but, that’s not something they have in their head all the time.

The 24-year old Belgian native, who is the top pick to stand between the sticks for Chelsea, believes that after the Red Devils defeat, the next couple of matches were vital because his team wasn’t in a position to give away any further points.

As per Courtois, people would have suspected that the points might be taken from Chelsea again because the Saints and the Toffees, both were quality oppositions and the match against the Toffees was at Goodison Park which had been proving to be a bit of a fortress for them this season.

Posted on by index

As the season gradually winds down, there are some players that rumoured to be on their way out of the Premier League at the end of the term.


Chelsea legend John Terry is one of the top contenders to exit the league after a long time. The former Three Lions star is likely to exit Stamford Bridge for the Major League Soccer with LA Galaxy being the likely destination, according to reports.

LA Galaxy have lost Steven Gerrard and Robbie Keane but as the season starts this weekend, Terry could still join this summer – with hopefully him lifting the Premier League and leaving on a high. His contract is set to end in July but by current indications, Coach Antonio Conte would not give him a new deal. The 36-year old still has experience that would be helpful to the Galaxy in their title charge. Continue reading “JOHN TERRY OFF TO THE MLS”

Chelsea playmaker Willian is set to star again for the club after almost two months.


The Brazilian lost his mother and he was granted a compassionate leave to return home in October. Willian has not started a game since then but insists that he is ready to get his start now.

Since Chelsea found a rhythm that works, Willian has settled for the impact substitute role. He came on in the clash against Manchester City to get the second goal earlier this month. The player was brilliant for Chelsea last season even when his teammates were not in fine form. He said current manager Antonio Conte has been supporting him in his tough times. He added that he wanted to fully contribute to the team’s brilliant run.

“The manager changed the team because I was in a difficult moment. I lost my mum and I had to stay in Brazil for a few days. I missed some games and the team started to win and play well. Pedro came in and he did very well. Continue reading “WILLIAN SET TO START FOR CHELSEA AGAIN”

The Nigeria international has been phenomenal for the Blues under the new manager’s arrangement. Coach Antonio Conte made tactical changes that saw the player get a starting shirt in the new set-up.

While departing, Antonio Conte has bemoaned not having proper support from the authorities of his National Federation.

For Conte, the only person standing by him most of the time was the chairman, but, even though he was the head, it was not possible for him to do a lot without having the others on board.

However, according to Conte, the Euro Championship was a conclusion of all the work done by him with Italy in the last 24 months and he is grateful and thankful for the positive vibes generated by the supporters.

Conte also revealed that it was not very long back that he was willing for the chance to go further with the Italy job. In fact, till the last winters he had no ambitions to cut the ties with Azzurri, but, due to some particular developments, he didn’t push on the future talks. Also, around that same time, the offer from Chelsea came beckoning and his reaction to such a thrilling proposition happened to be positive.

The 46-year old is now moving forward with a lot of clarity. He says he doesn’t see himself returning to Italy’s ranks for any second tenure and he would possibly spend the rest of his career in club management only.

Conte would look to shrug off the sadness of the Germany loss in the little time that he has before he moves to another venture where challenging times are certainly in store for him. His daring personality, however, would only enjoy that. Continue reading “Antonio Conte has bemoaned not having proper support”
