3 Ways Chelsea Could Line Up in Defence During the 2020/21 Season

Chelsea is on shopping this summer, something very special nd extraordinary is happening at Chelsea Football Club. An exceptional transfer window is getting better day by day, with four signings alone coming through the doors at Stamford Bridge in the last week.


Having already signed Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner, the Blues bought in Ben Chilwell and Thiago Silva to hugely bolster their defence. For a team who conceded 54 goals - their worst league tally in 23 years - last season, it is exactly what they needed to improve and move forward under Lampard.


Lampard now has a surplus of defenders at his disposal, and while some look set to move on, he'll have plenty of players to work with. He has options galore for a back four and back three, putting Chelsea in strong position to push on and potentially challenge for the Premier league.

 1. Azpilicueta-Silva-Zouma-Chillwell



Of all the backline options Chelsea have, this is by far their strongest. Integrating their new recruits with their best defenders, it is a no brainer to deploy this back four for must-win games - of which there will definitely be many during the upcoming season.

Keeping captain Azpilicueta at right-back is crucial, as well as maintaining his rightful status as skipper. Chilwell will instantly be Lampard’s first choice on the left, though may need time to settle in and find his feet at Stamford Bridge.

Silva is the obvious selection, seeing his current form it's a no brainer .which leaves Kurt Zouma as his lucky partner. The Frenchman was the Blues’ best centre-back in a tumultuous campaign, and with the quality shown and potential he has, Zouma can really grow into a top defender alongside his new Brazilian counterpart.

2. Azpilicueta-Silva-M.sarr-Chillwell


The only change in this line will be M.sarr in place of Zouma, M.sarr has all the qualities to be a world's best defender one day , speed, physical strength, defensive awareness, positioning and all makes him a top notch baller . it's rare to see him in starting but certainly he will come off the bench and certainly oneday start the game for Chelsea.


3. James-Silva-Rudiger-Chillwell


Whether it is for rotation, tactics or due to an injury, no Azpilicueta again paves the way for James to start at right-back.

Where does Antonio Rüdiger’s future at Stamford Bridge lie? The addition of Silva puts the German in peril, and in a season where he lost his starting spot on several occasions, his best opportunity may be in a back three when Chelsea are rotating their squad.

In another instance of Azpilicueta’s possible absence, Silva will comfortably fill in with the captain’s armband. Zouma’s partnership with the Brazilian could be formidable, but it will be interesting to see how they operate with Rüdiger on the left.

What do Italian football teams need to surpass Juventus and win Serie A?

Short term : Play well. Do it consistently. Have good scouts and responsible transfer policy. Employ a top manager and a few highly experienced Serie A players. Napoli managed to compete for the Scudetto (and nearly win) last season by doing something similar to this. Long term : Completely change the organisational structure and the mentality of those employed in it. Fabio Capello, a manager who has won the title with both Juventus and AS Roma described the difference. He said that when he won with Juventus, the next day he was discussing things with the club management about how to improve for next season. But, when he won it with AS Roma, the whole club was celebrating the victory for months to come. Simply put, Juventus has been rebuilt in an outstandingly secure fashion. Few clubs are organized that way. It’s only natural that their rule on the Serie A will fall at some point, since, frankly, all clubs hit those periods. But, with the way the club has been set up, I expec...

Will Lionel Messi succeed in a physically intensive league like Premier League considering his age?

why on earth would anyone think that he can't perform there. Just look at his statistics he is just too good for Premier league , People who says these kinda rubbish doesn't know football or living in a fairy world , 6 time ballon d'or and 6 time Golden boot doesn't come by mistake . With 22 goals in the Champions League against English clubs, no player can get close to Messi's record. The only other player to have even reached double figures is Messi's great rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who has hit 12 goals in his 17 appearances. Memorably, two of Messi's goals have come in the final itself. The Argentinian struck against United in the 2009 and 2011 finals, helping to down Alex Ferguson's side. While his record against English clubs is now brilliant, this was not always the case - hence the questioning of Messi. He did not score or provide a single assist in his first nine appearances against English opposition. Messi's tally against sides from a sing...

Riqui Puig should leave Barca?

Barcelona team has been revived since the beginning of the year with all of their players returning from injuries. Players such as Pedri Gonzalez, Memphis Depay, and others are fully fit to compete for the Blaugrana. As a result of this factor, Barcelona’s midfield has a plethora of choices. This might pose major problems for Riqui Puig. Nico Gonzalez, Sergio Busquet, Frankie De Jong, Gavi, Pedri, and Riqui Puig. They all will compete for a spot in the midfield trio. Riqui Puig was left out of the starting XI in the last Classico. Moreover, his absence from the bench indicates that Xavi Hernadez does not count on him. The 22-year-old has made six appearances for the Catalan giant this season, contributing zero goals. Several European clubs approached the La Masia graduate during the previous season, including As Roma, Real Betis, Real Sociedad, Celta Vigo, and AC Milan. But he turned them all down. He aspired to be a starter and flourish in Barcelona. The Spaniard’s market ...
