### Chelsea: 8 buts en 3 matchs, 36.3% possession seulement

Ryan O'Hanlon 11 sept 2026, 04:12 HE Fermer Ryan O'Hanlon est rédacteur pour ESPN.com. Il est aussi l'auteur de "Net Gains: Inside the Beautiful Game's Analytics Revolution". Si Chelsea continue ainsi, ils se dirigent vers une saison réussie.

Dans les trois premiers matches du nouveau manager Xabi Alonso, ils ont le quatrième plus grand nombre de points en Premier League — seulement derrière le trio de favoris d'avant-saison : Arsenal, Manchester City, et, euh, Hull City. Ils sont à égalité en tête du classement des buts. Avec deux victoires sur trois, ils sont aussi sur le rythme de 76 points — suffisant pour la 3e ou 4e place lors des trois dernières saisons.

Et ils l'ont fait contre l'un des calendriers les plus délicats, commençant à l'extérieur contre Fulham, puis recevant les promus Brighton, et perdant récemment à l'extérieur contre Arsenal dans le match le plus difficile qu'ils affronteront cette année. Selon les classements de puissance d'Opta, seule Coventry City a affronté un calendrier plus dur. Chelsea a beaucoup dépensé cet été pour recruter Morgan Rogers, et il est fantastique.

Cole Palmer aussi semble retrouver son meilleur niveau. Et João Pedro semble être officiellement devenu l'un des meilleurs attaquants au monde. Ce trio offensif a été électrique. Étant donné que Chelsea a fini 10e la saison dernière et a enchaîné trois managers différents, il semble qu'Alonso les mène vers la compétence.

Après un demi-siècle chaotique sous les nouveaux propriétaires Todd Boehly et Clearlake Capital, Chelsea semble être l'un des rares clubs de Premier League en trajectoire ascendante. Tout cela est vrai — à moins d'avoir réellement regardé leurs matches. Bien qu'ils aient marqué beaucoup de buts et obtenu des résultats respectables, les trois premiers matches de Chelsea ont été absolument hors de contrôle.

Pourquoi nous n'avons jamais vu une équipe comme le Chelsea de Xabi Alonso En trois matches, Chelsea a été l'une des meilleures équipes offensives de Premier League. Ils ont marqué 8 buts (ex-æquo 1er), créé 5.56 expected goals sans penalty (5e), tenté 48 tirs (6e), et généré 93 touches dans la surface (7e).
