You Make Me Feel So Blue

England has another European Champions. Chelsea saved the season with a remarkable win over Bayern Munich in the 2011/2012 Champions League final. The `blues` repeated the Manchester United glory as the London team won the title in the last minutes. The past season was not very cheerful for the Chelsea football club despite the European title. They have finished away from the first teams in the Premier League competition.
The Russian owner of the London team has declared his desire for a European title. Since Roman Abramovich has taken over the Chelsea club, the team has won three Premier League titles and three FA Cup trophies. It has been not too long ago when the `blues` were an average English Premier League team. The managing of Jose Mourinho was the kick-start for the Chelsea revolution. Now the team is considered as one of the top teams not only in Europe, but also in the world. The London team has the ability and nonetheless the financial freedom to attract more world class players.
Now what!? Chelsea is the reigning European Champion and it seems like they have everything that the owner has ever dreamt of. Probably from now on they will be playing for the history and more trophies. In a recent interview the Chelsea manager Di Matteo said: `We will not play for anything in this season. We want to build a new and a stronger team`. Chelsea showed confidence and ability in the first two matches of the season, playing as harder as they could get two easy wins. They team looks stronger than the previous season, but this year their opponents will be more precautious as they play against the best European team.
Many of the Chelsea fans want their team to become the first one to win two European titles in a row.  Most of the current Chelsea players know how to win titles and it is a promise for the upcoming season.
