Potential Chelsea line-up next season
Chelsea might be the current Premier League Champions but that does
not mean Jose Mourinho will not make changes his squad next season.
Speaking of changes, Chelsea have already Radamel Falcao to their impressive side and it makes for a dangerous potential Chelsea line-up next season.
Apart from Falcao, there are talks of Falcao’s former teammate Arda Turan joining Chelsea as well. That will further enhance Chelsea’s chances of retaining the Premier League trophy next season.
Bringing new players always have an implication to a team’s starting
XI before a new season. With Falcao and Turan as his disposal, Mourinho
might want to change his trusted 4-2-3-1 formation and go with a
4-1-2-1-2 line-up giving Falcao enough opportunities to regain his
deadly goal-scoring instincts.
Here is how I think will be the potential Chelsea line-up next season under Jose Mourinho:
Thibaut Courteous (GK), Branislav Ivanovic (RB), John Terry (c)
(CB), Gary Cahill (CB), Cezar Azpilicueta (LB), Nemanja Matic
(CDM), Cesc Fabregas (RCM), Arda Turan (LCM), Eden Hazard (CAM), Diego
Costa (ST), Radamel Falcao (ST)
Those who have followed Jose Mourinho’s first stint with Chelsea
would completely relate to this line-up and formation. Back then
Mourinho had Claude Makelele who introduced the concept of a deep lying holding midfield player.
On either side of Makelele, Chelsea had the flair and midfield dynamism of Fank Lampard and Michael Essien while going forward, Arjen Robben and Didier Drogba were ably assisted by Damien Duff and Eidjer Gudjohnsen.
With almost a similar concept in mind, Chelsea would look to defend
their Premiership title in 2015-26 season with Matic, Fabregas and Turan
holding the midfield while Hazard, Diego Costa and the new boy Radamel
Falcao create havoc in opponent’s penalty area.
Mourinho would want to repeat Louis Van Gaal’s mistake of benching
Falcao for best part of his loan spell at Manchester United. Jose would
want to give Falcao as much playing time as possible to bring back the
beat we know once existed in the Colombian.
Only catch to this formation and line-up is the signing of Arda Turan, which is expected to go through by Monday.
