The Drem Team

The Dream Team

English Premier League is known as the most competitive league amongst the other leagues, such as Italian Serie A and Bundes Liga Germany. This situation happens because in English Premier League there are so many great football teams with star players from all around the world, such as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool. Amid the others, Liverpool and Chelsea are caught in the fierce rivalry. Both of them have their own positive and negative sides. Yet, Liverpool is better than Chelsea because of three aspects; performance and achievements, teamwork, and team management.

The first reason why Liverpool is reasonably better than Chelsea is because their performance is relatively good. But, many people claimed that Liverpool’s style is quite monotonous and lack of creativity. In fact, it does not affect to their achievement so far, Liverpool has already earned five Champion League Europe Cups, eighteen English Premier League Cups, seven FA Cups, etc. The second reason is about the teamwork. In spite of having a bunch of star players, they are able to play solidly as a team. Liverpool has several vital players such as Fernando Torres, Steven Gerard, and Carragher. This situation can turns out bad because of dependency towards these key players. If one of them is absent, it will impinge on the whole match. The third reason is the team management. So far, Rafael Benitez has become a wonderful manager. Nevertheless, since season 2007-2008, his ability to manage the team has been questioned.

Compared to Chelsea, it seemed that Chelsea cannot compete against Liverpool based on; first, their performance and achievements. Not as good as Liverpool, so far Chelsea had never won Champion League Cup, and only won English Premier League several times. Unlike Liverpool, actually they have a creative style and tactics, but it is worthless without teamwork. Based on their teamwork, basically Chelsea has more star players than Liverpool, such as Didier Drogba and Michael Ballack. In spite of this, their teamwork is very poor. They cannot perform well and are not solid as a team because of racial diversity and selfishness of each player. About their team management, different from Liverpool which has only one manager for nearly six years, Chelsea has several managers back then. The transition amid each manager makes their performance becomes so unsteady.

Actually, Liverpool and Chelsea have a lot of similarity. Both of them are big football teams with millions pond sterling budget and income. Each of them has a lot of star players from all around the world that make racial diversity in the team. Chelsea and Liverpool are also in the same division of English Premier League. In spite of these similarities, considered to their performance and achievements, teamwork, and team management, they are slightly different. Regardless of being deficient in creativity, Liverpool has more achievements than Chelsea. Liverpool also has a solid teamwork, through the racial diversity of each player. Apart from being doubted by many people, Rafael Benitez is a great manager of Liverpool who leads Liverpool to reach their achievements. All of all, Liverpool Football Club is more than a match for Chelsea.
