For years they have been the heavyweights of the Barclays Premier League. With Didier Drogba bulldozing opposition defenders, Chelsea won three League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups and a Champions League in eight seasons. Now they are tearing up the rule book and starting again. It’s time for a mini revolution at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are bringing in small, exciting players whom they hope can ape Barcelona’s tiki-taka passing style. Roman Abramovich and Roberto Di Matteo want pretty football - being efficient but unattractive to watch is no longer an option. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/07/10/article-2171730-13EFCFAD000005DC-985_468x310.jpg Out have gone much of the old guard. Drogba is in China with Nicolas Anelka, Salomon Kalou has signed for Lille and Florent Malouda and Michael Essien could also leave. In their places have arrived Eden Hazard from Lille and Marko Marin from Werder Bremen, with Oscar due to join from Internacional. All three are creative players to sit behind Fernando Torres, who needs service in a way Drogba did not. Add Juan Mata and Ramires into the mix and you can see that Chelsea are thinking big by thinking small. They want to kill teams with passing, not strength. The club are making sure their new signings are getting special treatment as they prepare for something of a culture shock at Stamford Bridge. Indeed Abramovich’s personal bodyguards chaperone Hazard and Marin into training each day. They are important members of the Chelsea squad, part of the future for this team. Di Matteo has been obsessive in his approach to the season, beginning his day at 8am and finishing long after the players have left the training ground. It has echoes of the long hours Andre Villas-Boas used to put in but the atmosphere at the training ground is far more relaxed under the Italian. He will experiment in pre-season, using Frank Lampard in the withdrawn role in which he excelled during the Champions League. He will sit in front of the back four alongside John Mikel Obi or Ramires. Then come the little men. The plan is for Marin, Hazard and Mata to work behind Torres, providing the £50m striker with enough chances to finally kickstart his Chelsea career. The trio will have the licence to swap positions, making them difficult to mark and track https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/07/10/article-0-13F10F91000005DC-894_306x423.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/07/10/article-2171754-13FE6C7F000005DC-289_468x343.jpg Oscar, set to be the latest addition to the revolution, can replace any of them. He will need to as Chelsea’s fixture list will pile up with the campaigns in the Premier League, Champions League, World Club Cup, FA Cup and League Cup. Di Matteo knows this is the start of another journey for Abramovich, reaching for the stars as the framework is put in place to carry on competing with other European heavyweights. Only this time they will be heavyweights of a different kind. Chelsea have won the Champions League with defensive might, now they plan to mesmerise. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/07/10/article-0-14020738000005DC-661_468x944.jpg http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2171754/Roberto-di-Matteos-Chelsea-Barcelona-lite.html |
