Four-midable Cherries stun Chelsea AFC Bournemouth Attendance: 10227 : Roger East Joshua King's clinical double, a finely-executed strike from David Brooks and a late Charlie Daniels header saw the Cherries register a memorable 4-0 victory over Premier League high-fliers Chelsea. Joshua King's clinical double, a finely-taken strike from David Brooks and a late Charlie Daniels header saw the Cherries register a famous victory over Premier League high-fliers Chelsea. King set the ball rolling early in the second half when he finished a superb move involving Ryan Fraser and Brooks before the Wales international doubled the lead with a sublime strike. Nathaniel Clyne and Junior Stanislas combined to set up King for the Cherries' third before Daniels came off the bench to nod home Jordon Ibe's cross in stoppage-time as defeat dented Chelsea's hopes of Champions League qualification. Andrew Surman and Stanislas returned to the Cherries starting line-up ...

CESAR Azpilicueta. - Foto Reuters LONDON: Cesar Azpilicueta berharap keputusan Maurizio Sarri mengadakan perbincangan panjang selepas kekalahan memalukan Chelsea di tangan Bournemouth mampu mencetuskan kebangkitan dalam tempoh sukar ketika mereka bersedia menanti kehadiran pasukan bawahan liga, Huddersfield. Skuad kendalian Sarri tewas 4-0 awal pagi Khamis lalu dalam kejutan yang menyaksikan kekalahan terbesar Chelsea dalam Liga Perdana sejak 1996. Bukan kali pertama musim ini, Chelsea membayar harga yang mahal kerana gagal menukar kawalan bola yang bagus pada babak pertama kepada gol, musnah selepas rehat ketika Bournemouth menghukum pertahanan longlai David Luiz dan Antonio Rudiger. Kekalahan kelima Chelsea dalam 12 saingan liga menyebabkan pasukan barat London hilang tempat dalam kalangan empat teratas apabila Arsenal memintas mereka menerusi perbezaan gol dan Sarri, yang tiba dari Napoli pada Julai, kini bertarung untuk mengekalkan tempatnya. ...

LONDON: “Jatuh kembali memang sangat mengecewakan. Kami sangat marah. Ia tidak boleh diterima pasukan ini dan kami perlu cari penyelesaian,” menurut kapten Chelsea Cesar Azpilicueta. Dia turut berharap keputusan Maurizio Sarri mengadakan perbincangan panjang selepas kekalahan memalukan Chelsea di tangan Bournemouth mampu mencetuskan kebangkitan menjelang pertembungan dengan pasukan bawahan liga, Huddersfield. Skuad kendalian Sarri tewas 4-0 awal pagi Khamis lalu sekali gus menyaksikan kekalahan terbesar Chelsea dalam Liga Perdana sejak 1996. Bukan kali pertama Chelsea musim ini menguasai perlawanan pada babak pertama tetapi gagal menjaringkan gol. Sebaliknya kubu mereka roboh dihukum Bournemouth selepas rehat akibat pertahanan longgar David Luiz dan Antonio Rudiger. Kekalahan kelima Chelsea dalam 12 aksi terakhir menyebabkan mereka dipintas Arsenal di tempat keempat berdasarkan perbezaan jaringan sekali gus kedudukan Sarri yang tiba dari Napoli pada Julai lalu dalam b...

Adakah masa kini sudah semakin suntuk buat Maurizio Sarri? Skuad kendaliannya tumbang kepada Bournemouth dengan jaringan memalukan iaitu 4-0 di laman lawan. Menurut laman  The Guardian , Sarri mengakui beliau tidak mempunyai keupayaan yang cukup untuk memotivasikan pasukannya itu dalam usaha mendapatkan kemenangan. Pada beliau, pasukannya itu punya kualiti yang cukup untuk bersaing walaupun tiada jurulatih yang membimbing mereka sekali pun. “Mungkin ia kesalahan saya, mungkin sebabkan saya tak mampu nak motivasikan para pemain saya.” “Tapi pasukan saya ini cukup kuat, mereka boleh menang tanpa ada jurulatih pun.” Sarri berpendapat ketika ini merupakan satu tempoh yang cukup mengecewakan beliau. Malah beliau tidak berasa di bawah tekanan sekali pun tumbang dengan 4 gol. “Saya rasa kecewa, bukan tertekan.” “Saya mahu mengerti, oleh itulah saya bercakap dengan para pemain selepas perlawanan tetapi sukar untuk mereka meluahkan apa sebabnya.” Sarri dik...

LOAN MOVE FOR LUCAS PIAZON FACEBOOK TWITTER Lucas Piazon has joined Serie A side Chievo on loan until the end of the season. The 25-year-old Brazilian had been a member of Maurizio Sarri’s squad and was recently an unused substitute in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg victory over Tottenham. Piazon joined Chelsea in August 2011 and enjoyed an impressive first season at the club at youth and reserve levels, winning the FA Youth Cup and being named Chelsea’s Young Player of the Year. In 2012/13, Piazon was promoted and played three times for the Blues in big-scoring wins over Wolves and Manchester United in the League Cup, and Aston Villa in the Premier League when he was denied a first Chelsea goal by a penalty save. He subsequently embarked on his first loan away from Stamford Bridge, to La Liga club Malaga. He spent campaigns at Vitesse Arnhem in Holland, Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, and then with Reading and Fulham in the Championship, playing a s...

AFP BOURNEMOUTH 31 Jan. - Maurizio Sarri menjelaskan, mengapa dia ‘mengunci’ pasukannya selama sejam selepas Chelsea dimalukan dengan kekalahan terburuk dalam tempoh 23 tahun di Bournemouth, hari ini. Blues terkeluar daripada kelompok empat terbaik Liga Perdana Inggeris selepas diratah 4-0 oleh Bournemouth, yang menceriakan ribuan penyokong di Stadium Vitality menerusi dua jaringan Joshua King dan satu gol daripada David Brooks serta Charlie Danniels. Sarri membiarkan wartawan menunggu lama dalam bilik media kerana mahu bercakap de­ngan pemainnya sejurus selepas perlawanan itu. “Dalam situasi begini, saya mahu bercakap sendiri dengan mereka tanpa ada orang lain. “Seperti yang pernah saya katakan sebelum ini, saya perlu memahami apa sebenarnya yang berlaku. Saya benar-benar tidak faham, per...

CESAR AZPILICUETA: 'UNACCEPTABLE' DEFEAT FACEBOOK TWITTER Cesar Azpilicueta lamented the team’s second-half performance at Bournemouth last night and spoke of the anger in the dressing room after a result that dropped us out of the top four. The Blues had started the better in Dorset without scoring, but  we then conceded four unanswered goals after the interval , making this our joint-heaviest loss in the Premier League era, and our worst defeat in all competitions in over 17 years. Azpilicueta did not make any excuses afterwards and highlighted the need for answers to be found quickly. ‘Everything went wrong from the first minute of the second half,’ he said. ‘We conceded an early goal, and then when we were closer to equalising we conceded a second. After that, we didn’t have the reaction we should have. Conceding four goals is unacceptable, and we are very angry with that. ‘Afterwards we spoke as men between the manager and the players. It was...
