The 16-times Serie A champion Internazionale Milan, beat Juventus in a great tactical game, in which Inter extended their lead in the Lega standings with three points over the second place AC Milan, thanks to their victory over Juventus (1-0). The game was played in San Siro Stadium last Saturday and it was played amazingly by the host team Inter Milan, which used intelligent tactics, pressuring and stopping Juventus from playing their game in the best of their abilities. With not an actual pretty goal, after reflecting a shot from Ibrahimovic, Sulley Muntari gave Nerazzurri the victory reaching the 30 points to have a higher lead in the Calcio table.

Coach Mourinho applied a 4-4-2 formation, putting Adriano and Ibrahimovic up front, and supporting the attack with Dejan Stankovic. Zlatan Ibrahimovic had two clear opportunities but failed to convert the goals due to Juventus defense and his bad kick execution. Moreover, Adriano did a great job on the offense by moving the Bianconeri defenders back and forth opening spaces that allowed the only goal of the match. The Brazilian striker was very helpful in defense as well, with the reinforcement of his teammates Materazzi, Maxwell, Samuel and Macon. Materazzi worked really well in the back of the defense and his contribution was notable, he controlled perfectly the aerial plays as he kept Del Piero off balance the whole game.

Jose Mourinho, trainer of the Nerazzurri, was really pleased with his players and their attitude in the game and expressed that it was a great performance from his team, especially with the tactical ideas he mentioned and was really happy of given a small contribution to the team as their manager.

«We played better than the opposition. The team did fantastic from the first minute to the last, those on the pitch and those on the bench. I understood during the week how important it is for Inter to beat Juventus. To beat a team like Juventus, you have to play very well. We scored a goal that wasn’t beautiful but it is three points to us,» alleged coach Mourinho.

On the other hand, the Zebras’ coach Claudio Ranieri stated his team didn’t played on their best due to Inter’s performance and the tactics applied; Juve didn’t look like the real one. He also admitted that Inter deserved the win because they were better on the field. As a result of this defeat Juventus is now 6 points behind the leader of the standings, with 24 points in 3rd place.

The next game at the Serie A for the Internazionale will be against Napoli on November 30th. This coming game will be a difficult one, especially because Napoli has been playing in great way and his eager to get to the top of the standings is really huge. In fact, Napoli is in fourth place at the table tied with Juventus on points (24 pts), but with a shortcoming of two scores (6) in the Goals Difference stats, where the Bianconeri have 8. However before that match, Inter will have a Champions League game on Wednesday November 26th against Panathinaikos FC, who is following them on second place in the Group B board.

I am worrying about Liverpool way in UEFA Champion’s League. We had a lot of mistakes in defensive system, and we also had a terrible attacking system. We were in pressure at Stamford Brige atmosphere. At first, We believed that we can control the game but our players did not go the way we thought it was going to be. We often passed the ball into Chelsea’s possession. Chelsea’s inspiration is the key of the change, their fan’s voice was surrounded them.

Until about 29th minutes, when Chelsea’s defender Cavalho intercepted from Liverpool while they were attacking Chelsea. He passed the ball through Liverpool’s midfielder and defender to Didier Drogba. Drogba was too strong for Daniel Agger, so he passed the ball to penalty’s area assisted Joe Cole who was running from his side to scored this goal. Chelsea chelsea often didn’t miss the chance they had. They were punished Liverpool with this goal.

After that, the Red Machine started to work but they still had many mistake the both attacking and defending. Rafael Benitez, Liverpool’s manager sent Jermaine Pennant to the pitch but it was too late to change anything. Chelsea was seems like satisfied this score. That was decrease Liverpool’s chance to score because they step backward to his side for just defending Liverpool.

It could be a hard work for everyone in Liverpool’s team in the next game at Anfield. I hope Rafael Benitez could not have a mistake on the squad like the previous game. I want to see Liverpool in the final round.

Chelsea and Arsenal met in the First Division of the Football League at Stamford Bridge for the first time on the 9th November, 1907 – 30 years after the stadium had first been opened for use by the London Athletic Club. Chelsea won 2.1 with both goals scored by George Hilsdon. Arsenal’s reply came from Charlie Satterthwaite.

George Hilsdon was the first player to score 100 goals for Chelsea and a weather vane modelled on him can still be seen at Stamford Bridge. Legend has it that Chelsea will suffer ‘great misfortune’ if it is ever removed, as it was during ground works in the late 1970’s when Chelsea were in financial and football decline. Hilsdon was the victim of a gas attack on the Western Front in WWI and never played professional football again, dying in 1941. His grave is unmarked.

This first match was watched by a then record crowd for England’s top division: 65,000. Arsenal were still known as and based at Woolwich Arsenal at the time but they had a huge away following for this match due to it also being the 66th birthday of King Edward VII. The munitions factory – where many of the workers who followed the club were based – was closed for the day, hence they were free to travel to West London.

In fact, Arsenal could have been more local rivals of Chelsea than Tottenham Hotspur. A local businessman – Henry Norris – had a significant role in the development of both clubs. Amassing a fortune from property Norris became a Director and then Chairman of Fulham. Another Edwardian businessman called Henry – Henry Augustus Mears – had acquired Stamford Bridge with a view to it becoming one of the finest venues for association football in the capital if not the whole country. He offered Norris the chance to move Fulham FC to the ground but Norris refused to pay the annual rent of some £1500 and so Mears created his own team – Chelsea FC – in 1905. Had Norris not been so careful with his money, there might not have been a Chelsea football club at all.

Five years later Norris, still Chairman of Fulham became a majority shareholder of Woolwich Arsenal which had gone into voluntary liquidation. Becoming Chairman of that London club too, Norris proposed merging them with Fulham to form a super-club. The move was blocked by the Football League and so Chelsea and Fulham remained local rivals rather than Chelsea and Arsenal.

This match between the two teams in 1907 was the first ever to be played by two London clubs in the First Division and so the first major ‘London derby.’ All subsequent league meetings between the two sides to date have been in the top tier of English football (the old First Division and now the Premier League).

Woolwich Arsenal got their revenge the following season with a 2.1 win on 28th November, 1908 – Chelsea’s goal coming from George Hilsdon again. The Gunners won on Chelsea turf in the season after that as well, before the first draw – 1.1 – in this league fixture on 15th February, 1913. This was the last time the two sides met before Woolwich Arsenal moved to Highbury and changed their name to Arsenal.

Indeed, after that win in their first meeting, Chelsea did not win the fixture again until 13th December, 1919 when they won 3.1 with goals from Robert McNeil, John Cock and Henry Ford in front of a huge post-war crowd of 60,000.

The fixture on 12th October, 1935 was played in front of another enormous crowd: 82,905, which was the second highest recorded attendance for an English league match. It finished in a 1.1 draw. Joseph Bambrick scored for Chelsea and Jack Crayston for Arsenal.

Arsenal’s record league win at Stamford Bridge came in front of 74,667 football fans on 29th November, 1930 – a 5.1 victory, with David Jack scoring a hat-trick as Arsenal moved closer to their first League Championship win and domination of English football in the 1930s. They scored five times again on 24th November, 1934 – in a 5.2 victory this time – with legendary Arsenal centre-forward Ted Drake scoring four of Arsenal’s goals. Drake would go on to manage Chelsea in 1952 and was largely responsible for changing their nickname from The Pensioners to The Blues.

The Gunners also scored five goals in a 5.3 win on 29th October, 2011 with Robin Van Persie scoring a hat-trick for the victors.

Chelsea’s largest win in the fixture came in a 6.0 win in the Premier League on 22nd March, 2014 which was also Arsenal manager, Arsène Wenger’s 1000th game in charge. This is the highest number of goals Chelsea have scored against Arsenal in a league fixture at Stamford Bridge and also represented the biggest margin of victory by The Blues. Oscar scored two goals that day alongside one each from Samuel Eto’o, Andre Schurrle, Eden Hazard and Mohamed Salah in front of an attendance of 41,614.

The sides are neck and neck in terms of wins in this fixture. In the years when Chelsea have gone on to win the League Title they have never lost at home to their rivals from North London, drawing the matches in the 1954/55 and 2004/05 seasons and winning each of them in 2005/06, 2009/10 and 2014/15.

For Arsenal, in the 13 seasons where they have finished as League Champions, they have only lost at Chelsea on two occasions (Chelsea were in the Second Division in the 1988/89 season so there was no fixture) – on 29th August, 1970 when Paddy Mulligan and John Hollins scored for Chelsea and Eddie Kelly got one back for Arsenal – and on 2nd February, 1991. Kerry Dixon and Graham Stuart scored for Chelsea that day with Alan Smith replying for Arsenal in front of a crowd of 29,094. This was the only league defeat of the season for George Graham’s Arsenal team and their first in 27 First Division matches, stretching back to a 2.0 loss at Luton Town on 21st April, 1990.

With the January transfer window now open, the big question on everyone’s lips remains the same. Will Chelsea FC sign any players during the window? Their team is nowhere near full strength at the moment, and with an aging squad the problem may only get worse. In my opinion, they need to sign a couple of players at least. Due to their transfer embargo they won’t be able to sign any players until 2011 otherwise.

Their best players are out of action right now. Drogba (their best striker), Kalou, Mikel John Obi and Essien (their best defensive midfielder) are all at the African Cup of Nations for the entire month of January, and Nicholas Anelka (their second best striker) is out with an injury he recently picked up whilst training. Many fans have been left bewildered by Chelsea Manager Carlo Ancelotti’s comments that he would ‘streak on the pitch’ if he signed any players during this transfer window.

That being said, they are top of the English Premier League, so maybe Carlo Ancelotti (who is, lest we forget a proven winner wherever he’s been) knows exactly what he’s doing. In the F.A. Cup against Watford FC he played the young striker Daniel Sturridge up front and he repaid the manager’s faith in him by scoring two goals in a 5-0 win.

News has leaked out recently that Chelsea are looking to buy Italian striker Giampaolo Pazzini from surprise Italian package Sampdoria. The deal would reportedly be for around £22 million pounds, although a potential stumbling block could be that Sampdoria would want Pazzini loaned back to them for the rest of the season.
