Chelsea win again, but this isn't Xabi Alonso ball yet; are Como for real?

SportsNewsNow newsroom brief · 3m ago · 1 min read · via espn.com

Chelsea's second straight win was chaotic and fun -- just not what Xabi Alonso was hired to produce.

Chelsea's back-to-back wins have certainly lifted the mood at Stamford Bridge, but it's clear that the team still has a lot of work to do to gel into the possession-based side that Xabi Alonso envisioned. The chaotic nature of their victories suggests that there's still a lot of rust to shake off, and Alonso will be eager to iron out the wrinkles and get his team playing to their full potential.

Meanwhile, Italian side Como has been turning heads with their impressive start to the season. After a few years of struggling in the lower divisions, Como has suddenly become a force to be reckoned with, and fans are eager to see if they can sustain their momentum. With a squad full of talented young players, Como has the potential to make a deep run in the competition - but they'll need to keep their focus and avoid getting caught up in the hype.

So what's next for these teams? Chelsea will look to keep their winning streak alive as they take on their next opponent, while Como will try to build on their impressive start and prove that they're more than just a flash in the pan. As the season heats up, all eyes will be on these teams to see if they can maintain their form and make a push for the top. Will Alonso's Chelsea start to click, or will Como's Cinderella story continue? Only time will tell.
