Before we get into the main section of this article, let’s quickly roundup some Chelsea speculation from media sources. Starting with Leicester City star Wesley Fofana, the defender is the Blues’ top target. However, prioritising a standout Fox means you’ll pay the price: quality can be obtained but only at a premium. Incidentally, Paris Saint-Germain are also now interested, which could well lead to a bidding war between two powerful clubs. Now an approximate £75Million bid has supposedly been rejected by LCFC, CFC shall probably have to go to an astounding height to secure their wanted man.
Elsewhere in the ‘news’, the West London side are thought to fancy bringing in a right wingback to compete with and cover the potentially overworked Reece James. James is unlikely to ever lose his starting role while with Thomas Tuchel’s team, though protecting his output is quintessential to success. According to Jacob Steinberg, Chels’ are interested in acquiring one or the other of Southampton standout Kyle Walker-Peters, or Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries. Apparently the English side prefer Dumfries, though are yet to make an offer to Inter.
Three style changes Thomas Tuchel should make to his Chelsea team
OK, now that we have looked at a pair of areas the head coach would like to strengthen, we can briefly appraise the initial match of the campaign and suggest some alterations for the man in charge. At Everton, Chelsea didn’t produce a memorable display, yet always seemed fairly assured in protecting a slim margin against a struggling team. Against better opposition, there might perhaps have been a problem.
Fluidity
One way in which I envision more goals transpiring for the Blues, would be increased fluidity in the 3-4-3 or incarnation. Obviously I am not a part of the coaching staff who see all facets in person. And the previous sentiment especially applies as Tuchel is the one out there on the grind – so he is most likely aware of these points anyway.
