Who can crack this code? If you understand what this means, then you know we should be doing much better in the transfer window.

We sold Alvaro Fernandes to Benfica for €6m in 2024 and a year later he is going to Real Madrid for €50m.

We sold Elanga for £15m and 2 years later he is going to Newcastle for £55m.

We sold Oyedele for 500k and a year later he is about to move for 5m.

If not for the sell-on clauses it would have been disastrous.

We don’t know how to buy players. We don’t know how to sell players.

Fernandes’ case is dicey. We may not even have agreed on a sell-on clause with him.

Forget press reistence abi na resistor. When Chelsea win Barca and Bayern who was press resistant then. Abi lampard mikel essien etc were press resistant. Let psg press out team and keeper very high, make them play their normal football sef with full confidence say we no sabi ball. Then when we draw dem inside we suppose apply two touch rule. As any player receive the ball, 1st touch to control 2nd touch to set,3rd na through pass. Just like how crystal palace play mancity. No nonsense passing and playing. They allow city play the ball, allow mancity wingers to run the wing. The sense they get say them no chase dem like headless chicken, anytime city players day pass ball for midfield, dem day look dem like film until they near the defence before the crowd them with agression. As soon as city go wing they drop back deep and defend the winger with two players, but they no just rush the two defenders go wing because through pass fit enter, but they wait for the winger to control the ball and move inside before they defend their side 18 box line. Abi colwill say we no go play like madrd and Bayern? Rugged, that means the team don analyze palace and other great Chelsea tactical killings. So na the game plan be this. Sanchez pass to collwill or tosin they move small with the ball, when psg rush them, pass back to snachez psg go rush more. Suru straight to the side or center for battle, one touch pass to the nearest midfielder, who control again with one touch. now based on how psg backline high reach, suru again over the defence for one on one, or to the other side, then we push the ball and ground pass to the rushing in midfielders like Enzo or joao pedro for one touch control shot. Na exactly wetin palace do be this. We go do am to a better level. God help psg if we fit execute am perfectly.

See premium Delulu LMAO

Gucciboy:
Kepa na 1 year contract remain,others na 5-6 years. Jackson na ball playing striker.He go drop deep help Cunha,Bruno and Amad score goals. How you see am?

10m final price.

CAPdan21:
Sinner might just retire Djokovic at this point... utterly dominant

Djoko played injured. Sustained a groin issue vs Cobolli in the quarterfinals

Sinner might just retire Djokovic at this point... utterly dominant

We’re set to witness a consecutive grand slam final between Alcaraz and Sinner.

Both of them haven’t been outstanding in Wimbledon though. Fognini nearly injured Alcaraz and Dimitrov was on course to a straight 3rd set victory against before copping a pectoral injury against Sinner.

Sportsweb:
Fear God.

All Chelsea package cost not less than $50M

Except Kepa

LooL.

Mbomo chop another ban with him alternate account.

Just type your message in a picture and post with your alternate alternate account without quoting Enzo. E fit be say quoting him na the cause of the ban sef

diggz:
Enzo be like Tinubu wey APC people go dey defend every two market days. To defend ghost worker for midfield be like woman wey dey under hard labour on permanent basis. Ordinary small scare say Caicedo fit get injury, everybody don start to panic upandan, we dey run permutations on who go actually epp our midfield like say we no get a supposed world class £100mil player.

Enzo na just an overpriced £100mil Jorginho abeg.

LoL. You even wicked pass Ibime sef for this Enzo matter

Android17:
Vitinha's greatest attribute is his press-resistance. That's why he splits the defense to receive the pass first from Donnarumma when PSG are about to progress the ball. Truth is, Jorginho was also press-resistant but unlike Vitinha who is doing everything you've said above, Jorginho could only evade the press by passing rightly. In other words, he depended on the movement of the players around him. If nobody made the right outlet, Jorginho will lose the ball.

In Vitinha's case, even without the right movements around him, he'd simply manipulate the ball out of the press. Harry Kane tried severally to press him against Bayern but it was futile. Enzo is alot like Jorginho in needing movements around him to evade the press. But he's showing that Gundogan tendency to arrive into the box at the right times to score, and if he sees an outlet in the attacking third, he doesn't hesitate to make that pass. He's more like Fabregas but with less of Cesc's imagination.

This was exactly my point.

Enzo5:
that's possible, kovacic came from Italian league and played in Spain before epl.

I don't know how you define tenacity, if you mean energy and work rate, vitinha has that, but those of us who watched finals don't forget how tenacious Enzo was, how agile he is.

I don't have issues with the vitinha hype, he deserves it. It's those hypocrites who undermined jorginho even at his best are overhyping vitinha that doesn't play in epl and may not even survive play in epl week in week out, are typing things like lord-level vintinha should not be compared with enzo fernandez.

If Enzo does well, it's against a small thing, like vitinha has been playing tiny clubs for most of the season, like Aston villa game isn't that far away. Vitinha is surrounded by ball winners, from hakim, ruiz, neves, to mendes and behind him you have maquinho.

Do you think that vitinha with his tenacity and agility will overcome his lack of physicality and be "lord-level" cm in epl

Look at my images, notice enzo's position and here you find those few who claim Enzo isn't press resistant meanwhile vitinha is ultra press resistant

There’s no need for long story. If a player is doing well, you won’t have to defend him this hard every day.

Caicedo is the standout guy in your midfield. Nobody questions him. Palmer is also regarded as a baller. Everyone knows how good he is.

If your work is decent, it will be clear for all to see.

swiz123:
Please, insult Jorginho with everything but never compare his biggest strength (Positional awareness and discipline both in defending and build up phases) to any other DM. He is neither fast nor strong but that positional intelligence is what his career was all about.

Jorginho has been maligned so much on this board that you guys (his fans) jump to defend him at any small thing.

Jorginho’s positioning and movement doesn’t beat Vitinha’s. Period.

Look at PSG’s 3rd goal vs Inter in the UCL final.

Did you see how Vitinha was scanning before and after he recieved the ball in one part of the pitch before carrying it with the outside of his foot for a considerable distance, cutting out almost half of the opposition team, before curling a deceptive run, receiving the back heel from Dembele and assisting Desire Doue?

That line of action required a proper dose of vision, positioning, football intelligence, and passing technicality.

How many times have you seen Jorginho drop shoulder to beat his man? Come back when Jorginho does this at the highest level.

Jorginho is a good player o, but there are things he no dey do.

swiz123:
But Argentina won the World Cup with the same Enzo. I wonder what you think of the serial fraudster Bruno

Jamie Carragher also won the UCL with Liverpool. Doesn’t make him an exceptional defender.

iamoyindamola:
We know right
This guy isn't even better than what we have presently including Ethan

Na why e dey surprise me o. My friend is an Arsenal fan and he’s currently lamenting. I understand Norgard and even Kepa. But that Madueke deal? E choke

Enzo5:
vitinha supposed lack of physicality he makes us with his technicality, which is something we saw in kovacic, and he has to have high positional intelligence since he isn't a deep laying playmaker but a central midfielder, barca fans may get angry but he is like a lesser xavi/pedri with his movement

I’d even say Kovacic has more physical strength than Vitinha. Enzo is stronger than the two of them tho. But he lacks their tenacity and agility.

lordfalcao:
you cannot mention positional intelligence and talk down on Jorginho on it.

Infact it is one of the key qualities Jorginho has

Well, not in the way Vitinha executes it. He’s more fluid and he takes up attacking positions more often.

Sportsweb:
That's if he starts. He can't bench Saka and his best option now is to fight Martinelli for LW. If arsenal gets Rodrygo, it reduces his game time more

In other words, Arsenal just spent 55m on a bench player.

Tiri gbosa for Arteta

Iamoyindamola Roland17 Unless you guys go far in Europe and EPL plus local cup comps next season, that money will be a complete waste.

lordfalcao:
When Jorginho will average high passes, people on this thread told us it was mostly sideways passes, even upto the point that popiziano started asking for third man Abi second man assist from Jorginho.

Na that same knocking of pass dem dy use praise vitinha now. Calling him a controller.

One difference between Vitinha and Jorginho is positional intelligence. Both of them lack physicality but Vitinha’s ball knowledge puts him in the right places to make killer passes that unlocks defenses.

This is in addition to the volumetric number of passes he makes to help his team maintain possession whilst searching for an opening.

swiz123:
I don’t know what you are on about. Vitinha plays DM for PSG while Enzo is a CM for Chelsea. Do you think PSG won’t win Real Madrid if Enzo replaced Vitinha?? Of course not.

Instead of tackling structural and tactical issues that plagues us as a team, you will single out one particular player and start hate watching.

Enzo5:
it's like we should forget that vintinha couldn't cut it out in epl, wasn't even a star in portugal and then spent 2 seasons in PSG before this season of hype which should be due to joao neves but a jorginho-esque cm should not be compared to enzo fernandez because chelsea as a team were struggling, put enzo in that PSG midfield and see how much more goals dembele and co would score

Replacing Vitinha with Enzo in that PSG midfield will limit their quality and make their play impotent. Enzo has his strengths but few of them relate to positional intelligence, vision, and passing abilities— 3 areas where Vitinha excels gargantually.

Wetin concern nitrogen?
Na him be their broker or sport investment consultant?😂😂😂

Na him be Ogbonge PA to the Glazers on Nairaland Matters.

E touch am

A very useless billionaire.

E no go better for Glazers who sold this club to a Chelsea fan.

Thunder go fire nitrogen too

🤣🤣🤣

Tottenham is in for Wissa. If they buy him quickly, Brentford will demand even more for Mbeumo given his growing importance to them.

This is starting to feel like the Antony deal all over. It’s either we end up wasting funds on him or Sir Jim does his thing and we don’t buy anyone.

Amorim will have to work magic to finish in the top 6 next season.

This Enrique no well o

See how he was jubilitating for the fourth goal. Jumping up and down as if his team scored an extra time winner

fredoooooo:
Kwara go dribble all these madrid player die

Oga you don miss road ooo 😀

Man U don sign player

nihilistjnr:
Imagine going to your regular joint after drink 2 gallons of like 3 different bitters, only to find out that your favourite olosho is not around.

Even if you sample another babe e no go sweet like the one you plan for. Kvara will be so pissed off that Trent is not on the pitch.

This Mbappe never learn. Losing the ball like that when his teammates have committed themselves forward. Could’ve easily been 4-0.

Unlimited22:
Even if we go give Caicedo horse tranquilliser, he HAS to start on Sunday

Jesus o

Caicedo alone can’t do it. He needs another machine beside him in midfield. These antelopes from PSG will run rings around him if he’s left alone.

AirBere:
Hope you're entertained 😂😂😂😂😂

Kvara never score him own o 😀

Ibime:
Alonso think say na Bundesliga him dey. No midfield

When I saw the lineup I was like what’s he trying to do?

Shoehorning your top players into a rigid formation just won’t work. Madrid need workers in midfield and attack. The current guys are playing like big men.

E fit reach 5 this first half if care is not taken.

Alonso needs to make a change. And fast.

Tiri sero lol
