London is home to many derby teams in football and Chelsea is one of them. Called the "Blues" for their official team colour and owned by a Russian millionaire, they have had no trophies for the past two seasons. The team earned back-to-back titles under their charismatic manager Jose Mourinho and haven't been able to retain their Premiership crown back to the Bridge.
Mr. Chelsea, captain John Terry has been their most consistent player and with a young team of energetic players like Dorgba and Ballack they got close to claim club glory in England and Europe but lost out to a much better side- Manchester United.
With ‘Big Phil' Scholari now taking over the reins at "the Bridge", he will want to taste some English glory as well. Chelsea will also boost of new players like Deco who will bring the Portuguese flavors of skills and technique to Stamford Bridge
