Apologies to the Portuguese defender, Ricardo Carvalho, not Richard. Thanks to all who pointed that out! 🙏
Ricardo Carvalho and Eidur Gudjohnsen are the most underrated players of that Chelsea squad.
Why would anybody think it would be city or Liverpool & not mourinho’s Chelsea ??
Chelsea's back 4 were incredible no doubt. But it was Makelele that was the glue that held that defence together.
They didn’t play 4-3-3 they played 4-4-2
20 goals conceded in 120 matches, maldinin prime with franc baresi as cb.

Blimey, now it's almost 15 goals shipped every month at Chelsea.
How about park the bus ? 😂
Known for PARK THE BUS.
This is common knowledge pal 😂😂
No one ever thinks Man City or Liverpool. Everyone knows how brilliant that Chelsea team was defensively.
Makalele left Madrid and their galacticos did nothing without him, at Chelsea he was essentially the key difference between 4th place Chelsea and champions chelsea
Onana could never
The lackness of Vidić in here is wild
Parking the bus is best defence
Best Defense? Never would a Pep Guardiola team come to mind. Lol
Richard Carvalho, a British born Portuguese player
Lost one game. Almost Invincible
How conceeded looks like caicedo
Tied with Preston North End for the top-flight record, although Preston only played 22 matches back in 1888/89.
Preston scored 74 league goals, 2 more than Chelsea.
You would think its one of Peps or Klopps teams…..only if your football knowledge goes back 5 years
Cech didn’t wear the scrum hat until 2006 after Reading tried to give him and Cudicini brain damage…
Who tf, unless your u7, would think it's man city or lvpl recent teams. Wenden they ate more attacking teams, esp lvpl
Recency bias
Jose is a defensive mastermind
And now Chelsea can go ten straight games without SCORING a goal lmao
When I heard the intro question: I immediately thought it was a Jose Mourinho team, haha
