### Chelsea: 8 gols em 3 jogos, só 36.3% de posse

Ryan O'Hanlon 11 set 2026, 04:12 AM ET Fechar Ryan O'Hanlon é redator da ESPN.com. Também é autor de "Net Gains: Inside the Beautiful Game's Analytics Revolution". Se o Chelsea mantiver isso, está a caminho de uma temporada bem-sucedida.

Nos três primeiros jogos do novo técnico Xabi Alonso, eles têm a quarta maior pontuação da Premier League — apenas atrás do trio de favoritos da pré-temporada: Arsenal, Manchester City, e, hum, Hull City. Estão empatados na liderança da liga em gols. Com duas vitórias em três, também estão no ritmo para 76 pontos — o bastante para 3º ou 4º lugar em cada uma das últimas três temporadas.

E fizeram isso contra um dos calendários mais complicados da liga, começando fora contra Fulham, depois recebendo o emergente Brighton, e mais recentemente perdendo fora para o Arsenal no jogo mais difícil que enfrentarão o ano todo. Segundo os rankings de poder da Opta, apenas o Coventry City enfrentou uma tabela mais dura. O Chelsea gastou muito neste verão para contratar Morgan Rogers, e ele está fantástico.

Cole Palmer também parece estar voltando ao seu melhor. E João Pedro parece ter se tornado oficialmente um dos melhores atacantes do mundo. Esse trio de frente tem sido elétrico.

Dado que o Chelsea terminou em 10º na última temporada e passou por três técnicos diferentes, parece que Alonso os está levando à competência. Após um caótico meio século de turbulência sob os novos donos Todd Boehly e Clearlake Capital, o Chelsea parece ser um dos poucos clubes da Premier League em trajetória ascendente. Tudo isso é verdade — a menos que você tenha realmente assistido aos jogos deles.

Embora tenham marcado muitos gols e obtido resultados respeitáveis, os três primeiros jogos do Chelsea foram absolutamente fora de controle. Por que nunca vimos um time como o Chelsea de Xabi Alonso Em três jogos, o Chelsea foi um dos melhores times ofensivos da Premier League. Marcaram 8 gols (empatados em 1º), criaram 5.56 expected goals sem pênalti (5º), tentaram 48 chutes (6º), e geraram 93 toques dentro da área (7º).
