John Terry condemns Alonso's strategy
Chelsea's team experienced a significant defensive decline at the start of the Premier League season, conceding 12 goals in five games, making them the weakest defense in the competition. The team failed to secure a win in three consecutive matches. Club legend John Terry criticized the team's performance, considering the numbers unacceptable, most notably the continued clean sheet drought lasting 22 consecutive matches, the worst record since 1965. Terry also criticized coach Chabi Alonsos's philosophy regarding set pieces and zonal marking, urging the players to take individual responsibility. Alonsos acknowledged a defensive flaw and said that the team needs time to improve, focusing on addressing the issue during the international break. The club’s management reiterated their confidence in the coach and emphasized their reliance on domestic competitions after the team's absence from European tournaments.
