Chelsea have had a management downside for a while now, and it looks as if that management downside isn’t just on the pitch and can also be now on the very prime of the membership as nicely.
However anyway, I’m not talking in regards to the homeowners on this article, that is extra a few lack of management on the pitch.
I don’t charge Reece James as an excessive amount of of a captain at the least in a conventional sense. In fact, you’ll be able to lead by instance and there are such captains, however for me, I wish to see a vocal captain, and James is simply too quiet. He’s additionally simply too injured more often than not as nicely.
Enzo Fernandez I do like as a captain, however there’s clearly some off area stuff and query marks there (he’s lately been banned from driving and didn’t attend court docket for it, and there was of the course the racism incident in the summertime). However with out taking a look at all that stuff, I do like Enzo as a captain and he does have the correct traits that we’d like when it comes to being a pacesetter on the pitch.
However for me, probably the most appropriate captain we’ve proper now’s Levi Colwill. I noticed him as the one vocal participant within the tunnel earlier than the Bournemouth recreation on Saturday while everybody else was quiet. For me, doing this sort of factor is significant and so wanted.
Moises Caicedo led the gamers out however he was silent, and like James, he’s simply not vocal sufficient to be a captain regardless of being a participant that leads by instance with how he performs and the efforts he reveals.
I’m not speaking about simply aimlessly shouting at everybody after I say a vocal chief is required. I’m speaking about motivating even when the chips are down, not giving up, instructing, speaking, being calm, and simply persistently making an attempt to get the gamers up round you. Colwill does that probably the most.
Is he an ideal captain choice? Not but. However he’s probably the most appropriate to develop into one for my part.
He’s additionally persistently taking part in nicely and is in an excellent place on the pitch to be captain, as a result of he can see the entire recreation forward of him. A number of the greatest ever captains in world soccer have been centre backs, and the perfect ever captain we’ve had to this point, John Terry, was a centre again. There are lots of similarities between Terry and Colwill.
It is a younger and inexperienced squad, and we frequently see the detrimental results of getting no actual leaders within the workforce. Colwill is one who can arise and I consider he would arise much more if given the accountability of being captain.
Individuals would possibly suppose he flirted with Liverpool lately, however that was by no means as large because it was made out and at the moment, Colwill was uncertain how a lot Chelsea valued him and he was in search of the membership to indicate him that.
Now, he’s rising as a participant and rising as an individual, and I actually consider he has the constant high quality and management abilities to be our membership captain.
It’s all irrelevant anyway as a result of it doesn’t seem like Enzo Maresca goes to vary something in that sense proper now and has his ‘leaders’ picked. So Colwill would possibly simply have to attend to be a Chelsea captain. However he’s obtained it for my part and ought to be captain, or at the least considered one of them.
