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 is Ronald Koeman doing wrong tactically?

Though Barcelona won all the initial matches in champions league and 5–2 against Betis but there are many flaws in tactics and substitution. Prssing game- Coming on to pressing game which koeman insists heavily on the team, sometimes pressing as a whole, Barca’s Defence goes on sleep and results in error in marking opposition, and when opposition put a bit of pressure barca’s Defence falls like a mud wall, i can understand that it's a new team and Barca lacks in defenders but playing with the same back 4 which led to a thrashing defeat against Roma, Liverpool and Bayern and now again this new coach is going on the same path down. Lenglet is not a world class defender and commits lots of error he should be immediately replaced by Araujo coz atleast he does have pace to outclass and pacey forward and he trackback easily, Pique should be replaced by Eric Garcia in the coming January hope Barca sign him . Improper substitution- why on earth De Jong never get substituted ...

Did Lionel Messi become football's second billionaire player in the world?

Yess, he is the 2nd football player to become billionaire after CR7, But he is now the highest earning athlete on the planet. Let's see what is his networth now and how it happened. Net worth : £309 million ($400m) Source of wealth: Football contracts, endorsement deals, investments Messi's net worth is estimated to be around as of 2020. These figures are speculative, though, especially as his business interests tend not to be widely publicised. Forbes ranked Messi 1st among athletes on their list of the top100 highest-earning celebrities of 2019, putting his income for the year at $127m (£98m), and fourth overall, making him the best-earning footballer and athlete in the world. He was $18m ahead of Ronaldo and $22m ahead of Neymar, the next athletes on the list. The Barcelona forward's latest salary package will certainly keep him among the richest active sportsmen on the planet over the next few years.

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 ...
