Former Nigerian international footballer Sunday Oliseh has ignited discussions among football fans and analysts alike by boldly stating that supporters should not bet against Chelsea FC this season. Following Chelsea's impressive 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge, Oliseh expressed his excitement about the team's potential under new manager Enzo Maresca.
In a post on his official X account, Oliseh highlighted the key attributes that make Chelsea a formidable opponent this season. He remarked, "So far I am having so much fun watching this Chelsea side play this season. Full of movement, goals, well-structured off-the-ball, and better-organized networking. They could do something this year. Don’t bet against them.
Chelsea’s recent performance has indeed been noteworthy, showcasing a dominant first-half display that saw them scoring four goals, all from the talented young forward Cole Palmer. This victory has propelled Chelsea to third place in the Premier League standings, with a record of four wins, one draw, and one loss. The club has also scored the highest number of goals in the league so far, totaling 15.
Oliseh's comments have resonated with fans who are eager to see Chelsea reclaim their status as title contenders after a challenging few seasons. The club last lifted the Premier League trophy in the 2016/17 season and is now looking to build momentum under Maresca's leadership.
As Chelsea prepares for upcoming matches against Gent in the Champions League and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, the anticipation among fans continues to grow. With Oliseh's endorsement and the team's current form, many are hopeful for a successful campaign ahead.
