1905 March 14 Chelsea Football Club was established, and then entered the second league on May 29th, the first game.
The game is 1905 September 1 against Stoke Port. 50 years later, Chelsea won the top league championship with 1955, another 50 years ago. After 50 years of establishment, the team won the league championship for the first time and then dominated the Premier League every 50 years. The centenary of 2005 may be destined to be the year of Chelsea. Of course, the arrival of Chelsea's next league title should not wait another 50 years. I believe everyone agrees with this.
In the next few decades, Chelsea's record was mediocre. They 1965 won the League Cup, 1970 won the FA Cup and 197 1 won the European Cup, which is one of the few honors. After falling into the second division in the 1970s and 1980s, the familiar modern history of Chelsea began.
It all started with their new chairman Ken Bates, who bought the shares in the hands of the Mills family, the founder of the club, at a price of 1 and became the new head. 1989, Chelsea was promoted to the first division. 1990, Bates cleared all obstacles and officially entered the office. After that, Chelsea embarked on a difficult road to revival.
After three coaches, bobby campbell, Ian porterfield and david webb, 35-year-old Glen hoddle took over Chelsea from 65438 to 0993, and the former England and Tottenham famous midfielder's coaching became a turning point. Hoddle began to introduce some world-class players, such as Dutchman ruud gullit, and Chelsea changed its mind and embarked on the road of internationalization.
During hoddle's coaching, they reached the FA Cup final (1994, the final lost to Manchester United 0-4), and 1995 reached the semi-final of the Cup Winners' Cup, but their performance in the league has been unsatisfactory, ranking1/kloc-0 for three times in four seasons, and hoddle at/kloc-0.
Under the leadership of gullit, Chelsea began to win the honor. From 65438 to 0997, he led the team to beat Middlesbrough and became the first foreign coach to win the FA Cup. Only 43 seconds after the final, dimatteo's long-range shot hit the crossbar and became the classic shot of that year. This is Chelsea's first trophy in 25 years, and it also won the sixth place in the league.
1Feb. 998, Gullit was suddenly dismissed because of disagreement with senior management. He was replaced by another foreign star, Italian Viali. At that time, the bald star led the team to win the League Cup and the European Winners Cup, and also established the first all-foreign star team in the history of Premier League. Gianfranco zola, babayaro, De Goey, Lambotte and others joined, while dennis wise, Lexox and other local main forces were retained.
In the next two years, Chelsea continued to win trophies with patchwork of foreign big names, including 1999 European Super Cup (beating Real Madrid) and the 2000 FA Cup. However, in September 2000, Viali was also fired, allegedly because he lost the trust of the players. Viali, who was famous for bringing in foreign stars, was finally kicked out of Stamford Bridge by his own big name.
Viali was replaced by another Italian, Ranieri. Although he was short of money in the first three years of his four years in charge, Ranieri took the team to a new level. 0 1 and entered the uefa cup in 2002, led the team to the champions league in 2004, and finally created two classic dramas to eliminate arsenal in the following year.
In July 2003, the arrival of a new name ended the Bates era, Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea, and the story of Cerschi, which people later became familiar with, began. (Ding Lin)
