Premier league

The Leicester confirmed their aspirations and closed the sixteenth day of the English League with a victory over Chelsea with taste of revenge, which perches at the Claudio Ranieri to leadership and ranks José Mourinho team just one point above posts decline. Ranieri has his revenge against the technician who succeeded him on the bench for Chelsea, in 2004, and which, when they agreed in Italian football, quipped on the age of the Roman coach and his difficulty in learning English. Now Ranieri is the coach of the moment in the Premier and his Leicester team of fashion, while Mourinho must respond each week to doubts about its continuity.


 Even though 'Mou' repeat that what worries him is the distance with those above, you are forced to look down. The threat of the descent starts to fly over on the "blues". At the King Power, while the "Foxes" played to confirm that they can be more than a surprise, Chelsea needed the victory to demonstrate that even there to bury their options to the title, in a season in which almost everyone fail. But the current set of Mourinho is a disoriented team, without a clear pattern game - with Cesc back on the bench - and many problems with the goal. True to its hierarchy, he dominated throughout the first half, but did not create more danger than a shot of head of Serbian Nemanja Matic, at the exit of a corner (m.36). Nor was lucky in the "Exchange" of injury, because the departure of Danny Drinkwater (m.(16) it was less traumatic for the rival that Eden Hazard for the "blues", replaced by Pedro within half an hour of play. The Leicester was clearer, because it has a goal-scorer in State of grace (Jamie Vardy) and a genius (the Algerian Riyad Mahrez).


Between the two they have scored eight goals more that all the Chelsea.Y between the two solved that, until now, has been the most important haul of the season at the King Power Stadium. In 34, Mahrez took a center area that topped volley Vardy, ahead of sleeping behind Chelsea. At the start of the second half, Algerian franc took advantage of the passivity of César Azpilicueta, dropped a ball in the area and sent him away from Courtois.Con all lost, desperate, Mourinho gave entrance to Cesc instead of John Terry and Chelsea regained the hope with a goal by Löic Remy's head, a pass from Pedro (m.78) , its oppressive end harassment, with five extra minutes in the discount, did you nothing more than to show the powerlessness of an Assembly that fails to straighten its course. Ranieri's secured a victory that will allow them to extend one of the questions that dominate discussions of English football: will resist to the point of fighting for the title?.

The other - how much will withstand Roman Abramovich to Mourinho - also cobra force.

Not have been more explicit and more resounding Mourinho to discuss the defeat to the Leicester: "Apart from the Matic and Willian, nobody is playing according to the established plan". And the Portuguese broke out: "I feel that my work has been betrayed. I have to look in the eye a few players and ask them if they feel Chelsea like me".
