Chelsea wait For 50 Years

2004/2005 is Jose Mourinho's first season deal with Chelsea. Since that time even The Special One drove the nails deep into the world with a reputation as a manager. Yes, Mou is now dealing with Real Madrid, giving the four major record.

First, Mourinho brought Chelsea success for the first time league champions after a long wait for 50 years (his last occurred in 1955).

Second, Mourinho left Chelsea also tasted defeat only once during 38 games, when they host Manchester City was stabbed in 1-0 weeks-9.

Third, Chelsea managed to earn 95 points. They won 29 and drawn eight times. A fantastic achievement for the team karbitan; although the Blues inhabited star players though.

Fourth, the most powerful, successful Mourinho left Chelsea have the best defenses in the league. Of the 38 appearances, 15 goals they just terbobol! That is, goalkeeper Petr Cech conceded less than half the goals in every game. Feasible thanks to the quartet pinned-back Paulo Ferreira, Ricardo Carvalho and John Terry, Gallas Wallam.

Actually, it is not surprising that Chelsea made it to the point of league champions. Look at their purchase during the summer transfer market. There is a name Paulo Ferreira, Petr Cech, Ricardo Carvalho and the guarantee strong defense. There is also a figure of Arjen Robben, Mateja Kezman and Didier Drogba to make any opponent's back line will fear.

Chelsea Stadium

Stamford Bridge stadium with a seating capacity of 42 449 and was reduced to 38 000 seats for UEFA matches for safety and security requirements are more stringent.

The amount is much smaller than the Old Trafford stadium's Manchester United (75 797 seats) and Arsenal's Emirates Stadium (60 361 seats).
