Chelsea legend, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, gave advice to his former club to win the Premier League again. Yes, Hasselbaink asked Chelsea’s management to strengthen their defense with a top defender in order to achieve their target.
As is well known, Chelsea is indeed undergoing their campaign in the 2020-2021 Premier League with quite impressive performance. Even though at the start of the season, Chelsea still appeared inconsistent by often failing to achieve maximum results.
Even Chelsea itself had to go through their last two matches without being able to win. Yes, Chelsea was beaten by Arsenal with a final score of 1-3, then drew 1-1 when they met Aston Villa.
Chelsea’s chance to complete the 2020-2021 Premier League with status as champions is actually still wide open. Moreover, Chelsea is currently in sixth position with only seven points from Liverpool as the 2020-2021 Premier League standings.
Chelsea management’s decision to recruit seven new players in the 2020 summer transfer window is the main factor behind their improved performance. Moreover, the players who have been recruited by Chelsea are not random players like Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, to Hakim Ziyech.
Although he is quite satisfied with the current composition of Chelsea players, Hasselbaink thinks there are still sectors that the former club’s management needs to improve. Yes, Hasselbaink considered the defense line still had to be a priority to fix.
Moreover, Hasselbaink has the belief that Chelsea will find it difficult to win the Premier League title with their current defensive lineup. Therefore, Hasselbaink also suggested that Chelsea are ready to pour large funds again in order to get a top defender into their squad.
“A lot of people talk about Kalidou Koulibaly, but he is 29 years old and it will be very expensive. I honestly quite like Leicester defender Caglar Soyuncu, I think he will be very good at Chelsea, “said Hasselbaink, as quoted by BBC Sport, Saturday (2/1/2021).
“Apart from them there is also an Inter Milan defender, Milan Skriniar, everyone is talking about him, a very good player. So there are players out there, but it’s a difficult position to fill at the moment, “continued the Dutchman.
“I also want to see other creative midfielders. I love Mason Mount, but maybe someone needs to play with him. There is Havertz, I know, but you want healthy, quality competition in that area. I don’t feel Chelsea are that far behind, “he concluded.
