Cech has not lost his hope: "I haven't gave up the title!"

Chelsea started the season in the championship with maximum points after the first five rounds and a stunning goal difference, 21-1. Something changed in the team's game and the Londoners were unable to impose their rhythm throughout the Premier League, reaching the fourth place with nine stages remaining in this edition. Chelsea gained 48 points  and is 12 points distance from the leader , ManchesterUnited, having two less games played compared to the "red devils", including the direct encounter at Old Trafford in May.

Stamford Bridge team's goalkeeper Petr Cech said he is optimistic regarding the chance of the "blues" to win the fifth title in history: "We see how the teams ahead us lose points and we must do everything possible to get back in the league's top. It was a season with up and downs, and we were on a slope that I hope we'll lead us to the top  at the end of the championship.", said Cech.

The Czech is however aware that getting the title depends not only on  his team :" Realistically speaking , we must recognize that our fate is closely linked with other teams. We need to get maximum points and expect that United and Arsenal  would stumble",said Cech.

Chelsea has to face  this season, among others, Manchester City and Tottenhamon their own field, and Manchester United  away. Until then, Ancelotti's team will play Monday on the Bloomfield Road the meeting with the newly promoted team Blackpool, that has managed to produce a series of surprises this season, which include the double victory with the same score, 2-1, in front of Liverpool and the success at home in front of  Tottenham, 3-1.
