### Chelsea: 8 goles, 36% posesión, inicio atípico con Alonso

Ryan O'Hanlon 11 sep 2026, 04:12 AM ET Cerrar Ryan O'Hanlon es redactor de ESPN.com. También es autor de "Net Gains: Inside the Beautiful Game's Analytics Revolution". Si el Chelsea mantiene esto, se encamina a una temporada exitosa.

En los tres primeros partidos del nuevo técnico Xabi Alonso, tienen la cuarta mayor puntuación de la Premier League — solo por detrás del trío de favoritos pretemporada: Arsenal, Manchester City y, eh, Hull City. Lideran la liga en goles empatados. Con dos victorias en tres, también marcan ritmo para 76 puntos — suficiente para tercer o cuarto puesto en cada una de las últimas tres temporadas.

Y lo han hecho contra uno de los calendarios más difíciles, empezando fuera contra Fulham, luego recibiendo al emergente Brighton, y más recientemente perdiendo fuera contra Arsenal en el que es el partido más duro que enfrentarán todo el año. Según los rankings de poder de Opta, solo Coventry City ha tenido un calendario más duro. El Chelsea gastó mucho este verano para fichar a Morgan Rogers, y se ve fantástico.

Cole Palmer también parece volver a su mejor nivel. Y João Pedro parece haberse convertido oficialmente en uno de los mejores delanteros del mundo. Ese tridente ha sido eléctrico.

Dado que el Chelsea terminó 10º la pasada temporada y pasó por tres técnicos distintos, parece que Alonso los encamina a la competencia. Tras un caótico lustro de agitación bajo los nuevos dueños Todd Boehly y Clearlake Capital, el Chelsea parece uno de los pocos clubes de la Premier en trayectoria ascendente. Todo eso es cierto — a menos que hayas visto realmente sus partidos.

Aunque han marcado muchos goles y conseguido resultados respetables, los tres primeros partidos del Chelsea han sido absolutamente fuera de control. Por qué nunca hemos visto un equipo como el Chelsea de Xabi Alonso En tres partidos, el Chelsea ha sido uno de los mejores equipos ofensivos de la Premier. Han marcado 8 goles (empate en primero), creado 5.56 goles esperados sin penalti (quintos), intentado 48 tiros (sextos), y generado 93 toques en el área (séptimos).
