Chelsea FC seems very serious about facing the English league next season. So far Chelsea have brought 5 players to Stamford Bridge. There are 5 players including Hakim Ziyech who was bought from Ajax Amsterdam, Timo Werner who was bought from RB Leipzig, Ben Chilwell who was bought from Leicester City, Malang Sarr who got it for free after his contract with OGC Nice ended, and most recently a veteran Brazilian defender. , Thiago Silva who was also obtained free of charge after his contract with Paris Saint Germain ended.
Frank Lampard as manager and coach of Chelsea has indeed received a large injection of funds from their club owner, Roman Abramovich. In addition, last season Chelsea was sanctioned by a ban in the form of a player ban because it was proven to have violated international transfer rules, namely recruiting players under the age of 18.
As a result, the funds they received from the sale of several players in 2019, including the two biggest ones, Eden Hazard who was sold to Real Madrid and Alvaro Morata, who were sold to Atletico Madrid, could not be used.
Only when the penalty was reduced in December 2019, Chelsea could actively buy players in January 2020. Through the sale of players, funds from Roman Abramovich, and other supporting funds, Chelsea was able to bring the 5 players to Stamford Bridge.
In the 2019/2020 season yesterday, Chelsea, who had just been handled by their legend, Frank Lampard, performed quite well with makeshift players, taking advantage of the potential of young players such as Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount Frank Lampard, successfully bringing Chelsea to the top four of the premier league standings and locking the league ticket spot. champions next season.
Even so, Chelsea’s performance last season was still unstable, at the start of the season Chelsea was at its best and their young striker, Tammy Abraham was in his best form, but in mid-season, where Tammy Abraham was on a decline, Chelsea often lost points. both at home and away.
Seeing the declining performance of his team, Roman Abramovih did not remain silent, he immediately instructed Frank Lampard to look for new players for next season. And in February 2020 Chelsea’s first recruitment came, he was Hakim Ziyech, after that in June 2020 Chelsea also succeeded in bringing Timo Werner who was in his best performance with RB Leipzig in the bundesliga.
After the season ended, Chelsea also successfully brought in 3 players, Ben Chilwell, Malang Sarr, and Thiago Silva. In addition, Chelsea are still trying to bring in wonderkid from Bayer Leverkusen, Kai Havertz.
Some media reported that the negotiation process between Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen had been completed, and Kai Havertz was one step away from flying to London. Seeing the movement of Chelsea’s transfer, many predict that the mission Roman Abramovich has given to Frank Lampard for next season is very large, namely the target of the premier league champions.
Roman Abramovich is indeed a boss who is not stingy for Chelsea, for the sake of winning for Chelsea, Roman also often buys big players, such as the purchase of Didier Drogba, Fernando Torres, and many more.
It is true, for the champion target Chelsea cannot use the current stock of players, because of their fluctuating performance, Chelsea need a forward who has the instinct to score goals like Timo Werner, and needs quality wingers like Hakim Ziyech.
Apart from the front line, Chelsea also realized that their back line was very porous, so they also recruited England national team left-back Ben Chilwell and recruited tough veteran defender Thiago Silva.
In addition, Chelsea are still eyeing new goalkeepers, seeing Kepa Arrizabalaga’s declining performance last season, making Frank Lampard intend to find a new goalkeeper to keep Chelsea’s goal.
For the champion target, Chelsea must compete with several teams, such as the defending champions Liverpool who are increasingly solid in the hands of Jurgen Kloop, and Manchester City who are strong in the hands of Pep Guardiola.
There are several teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur that Chelsea must beat to reach the championship target. And to make that happen the purchases of current players are the right purchases for Chelsea.
And just waiting for Kai Havertz’s transfer process which is getting closer, and the purchase of a new goalkeeper to provide a rival to Kepa, Chelsea can be said to be one of the strong candidates to win the premier league in the upcoming 2020/2021 season.
