CHE vs AJA Dream11 : Intriguing attacking feast awaits us today when two exuberant sides go at loggerheads with each other.
The early match in today’s Champions League set of fixtures see Chelsea take on Ajax in a riveting encounter in Group H, a match which promises to regale us in a wondrous brand of succulent ad tenacious attacking football. Both the sides are levelly balanced, extremely reminiscent of each other not only owing to the brand of football they engage in but also due to the setup of ther sides which involves players from the grassroots level immerse the club in a culture of excellence.
Currently on a five match winning spree in all the tournamnets they are partaking in, this Chelsea side has been on a rapturous and rampant run of form, which is a massive treatment to the tutelage of Frank Lampard. The manager has taken little time to spruce up the side, relinquishing them to the annuls of the footballing circuit.
Lampard has been massively hailed for his tenacity and his innate ability to overturn things around so quickly for the club owing to the turmoil they found themselves embroiled in prior to the start of the season. The factors threatening to pull the club down were aplenty but Franck Lampard has poured water over all of them to convert this unit into a team imbued with immense skill set and worldclass performers, young players who have taken the opportunity accorded to them with both hands.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard on the kind of match he envisions: “We expect a really tough match against a team that performed last year and have won both games in this group comfortably. It’s going to be a tough match, I don’t think the five wins mean anything other than that hopefully we have some confidence. But this will be a completely different challenge which we obviously need to be ready for.”
After winning their first match in the Champions League the last time around, Chelsea will be well aware that today’s match is going to be a real test of their mettle when they take on the group toppers Ajax who are yet to lose a match. This clash can be a defining moment in the group, a match set to determine which side emerges as the group leaders, a narrative which should see both come hot out of the blocks as they look to ease past each other.

CHE vs AJA Dream11 Goal-Keeper
Chelsea’s goal-keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has been quick to set a statement and lay down the marker for goal-keepers with the shot stopper on a massive ascendancy over the course of the year. The Chelsea man in between the stick has shown fortitude and incredible astuteness to pull off some incredible saves, seeing the shot stopper come into our side for today’s match.
CHE vs AJA Dream11 Defenders
Althouhg a cleansheet for either side looks far from a realistic likelihood, we are still heavily packing our side with the defensive picks owing to the attacking brand of football the defenders of either side have been asked to indulge themselves in. The fullbacks in particular have been asked to gallop up the park and herald for their wide attacking players support to open up the pitch and send in articulate passes and crosses.
We begin by getting in Marcos Alonso with the leftback scoring at the weekend for Chelsea along with Cesar Azpilicueta while from the opposition we are choosing Nicolas Tagliafico and CB Joel Veltman.
CHE vs AJA Dream11 Midfielders
One of the biggest benefactors of Frank Lampard’s ardent result in the young players has been Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount with the player emoting piquant displays which allude to why his manager has such belief in him. Alongside him for this match will be Matteo Kovacic and Willian for us while from Ajax we are picking out both the goal scoring picks as well in the form of the safeguards of their side, Donny Van de Beek and Hakim Ziyech.
CHE vs AJA Dream11 Strikers
Chelsea’s leading scorer at the moment, Tammy Abraham is the only pick for us in this segment with the striker having put on some good displays and could easily end up exploiting an Ajax defence prone to losing its way and collapsing.
Captain And Vice-Captain
We are opting for Mount as our captain while Alonso being made the vice-captain.
