Chelseas drop in form welcomed by Hasenh

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl says it is a good thing to see a heavyweight club like Chelsea go through a rough patch as the two sides prepare to meet this weekend.The Blues have lost back-to-back home games over the past week, going down 4-1 to Brentford in the Premier League and 3-1 to Real Madrid in the Champions League.It is only the second time Chelsea have lost succe sive matches in all competitions this Corey Knebel Jersey term, while never before under Thomas Tuchel have they lost two league games in a row.Indeed, Tuchel appointed by the west London side in January 2021 has managed the most matches without losing consecutive games in the history of the competition (48).Despite Chelseas recent wobble, however, Hasenhuttl is expecting Blank Jersey the visitors to be on top of their game at St Marys on Saturday.Its a good thing to see that the big teams are struggling sometimes. The bad thing is that this doesnt happen very often, he said at Thursdays pre-match news conference.So, as I know them and how they work, hell definitely be critical with them and will try to show a reaction.I always expect the most difficult opponent, even if they win this game 3-0 and have the next leg on Tuesday against Madrid.I know Saturdays game is very important for them also, and a Premier League game for Chelsea is always important against us, especially because its not easy coming here.I think it will be a tough game, Cecil Cooper Jersey tough fight and we will try to make it as tough for them as po sible.Karim Benzema netted a hat-trick in Madrids victory, becoming the second Ben Gamel Jersey player after Cristiano Ronaldo in 2017 to scoreconsecutive Champions League knockout-game trebles.Asked what he learned from Madrids midweek win at Stamford Bridge, Hasenhuttl joked: That you need a player like Benzema to win against them!This is what we have learned. I think those who saw the game saw a very, very good Real Madrid side. Surprisingly good, I must say, that they played in this way.First half the way Chelsea played is not good enough for the Champions League. Thomas knows this.It is interesting also such a team also looked like they were affected by the home lo s to Brentford. You could feel it. They were not so confident with everything Lorenzo Cain Jersey they did.Chelsea have lost just one of their 13 Premier League games at St Marys and are unbeaten in their last eight visits since a 2-1 lo s in March 2013.
