Would Chelsea become a new Real Madrid?

 

Lately in the press, more and more frequently, we can hear about the great Chelsea tansfers. Top stars Michael Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko had already joined the team, but there are constant rumors around Chelsea about other big acquisitions like Philipp Lahm and Sergio Ramos.

José Mourinho's purpose is quite clear. He wants to form the most powerful soccer team in Europe, which could hide even the ดาวเด่นเชลซี.

Chelsea's new roster of teams looks a bit like a world soccer team, not the English club. Lampard, Shevchenko, Terry, Cech, Ballack! And keep in mind that Drogba, Essien and Robben are not going to other clubs yet ...

Here is a question to ask yourself. What if Chelsea, a stable and interesting team, became the English variant of Real Madrid, which, with so many stars in its squad, cannot fail to pleasantly surprise Barcelona fans by losing to such great Spanish teams like Mallorca and Murcia? ...

Of course, there was not a coach as prominent as José Mourinho at the head of Real. He is an excellent strategist and he knows exactly what work this or that player is doing. But in no way less important is whether he can create the right psychological atmosphere within the team, so that the stars do not question who is playing the dominant role on the field, but rather play, pass and generate opportunities.

Are all these great players ready to give everything they have in every episode, be it attack or punt? Maybe Mourinho knows what he's doing, but what if he overvalues ​​his authority?

At Chelsea, Terry and Lampard had become charismatic personalities, the embodiment of the team's style of play. But then again, it's not so certain that new players agree to that kind of hierarchy, and Shevchenko doesn't dream of wearing Chelsea's captain's armband. Now, when even the substitutes are the world-class footballers, the goal of the player of each team is not just to win the match, but to have a chance to actually go out on the field! Joe Cole, having been sloppy on defense in several games last season (although he did score goals), spent some unforgettable hours on the substitute bench, and was not sure whether his teammates would replace him. The roster rotation system is useful for the game, for the results and for the fans, but not for the practice and the mentality of the footballers. Each coach convinces his players that they must first think what is best for the team, but it is more difficult than for the young athlete (especially the famous one) at the peak of his powers to hear that it would be better for the team to rest for some time. .

In reality, when the starting squad is more likely to be the Adidas commercial, some doubts arise about the possibility of these guys achieving teamwork.

At this point, Roman Abramovich's Russian mindset is getting to him a bit. He is a man of resources and that is why he buys expensive soccer players (as some buy horses or cars) just because he enjoys the idea of ​​having them. And it does not matter if they will be in the field or in the reserve. Indeed, by joining Chelsea, players risk losing their playing practice and subsequently their star status.

Speaking of the correction of Mourinho's purchases, we cannot help but remember that Liverpool in the Champions League last season did not have big stars in their squad but Gerrard and in the final match they defeated the honored Milan. In fact, Barcelona possesses a vivid superstar: Ronaldinho. But only within the team with Puyol, Deco and Eto'O Ronaldinho's genius has been revealed as it should and Barcelona began to come back. The same Chelsea without the help of Shevchenko and Ballack 2 years in a row easily won the English championship, not to mention the League Cup.

Maybe the thing is in the correct ratio of stars and just good players in a team?

The problem of the well-known Real Madrid is in fact the absence of a living leader. Everyone is considered the most important and no teamwork is appreciated there. The players forgive the feet, minus the free space. So the beautiful and exciting football of Real Madrid is no more.

Would Chelsea repeat the fate of the Real or win with as much confidence as it did before? It's just a matter of time. And this time it will be the examination of Mourinho's coaching powers, and it will show if it is worth bringing all the stars under one roof.

In the example of Real Madrid we can only see the lack of foundation of this type of company.
