Chelsea’s Defense in Crisis | Nigeria News

Chelsea’s defense is in freefall as Xabi Alonso demands urgent fixes after another shaky draw with Hull, marking their fourth straight game leaking at least two goals and their 20th league match without a clean sheet.

Alonso admits the team’s lack of control and competitiveness, especially after scoring, is exposing them to counterattacks.
