There are two international tournaments happening this summer: the Euros and the Copa America. Chelsea will have a respectable presence in both of these events.Marc Cucurella, Conor Gallagher, and Cole Palmer will, of course, be involved in Saturday night’s England match and tonight’s Spain match.
The Argentine team advanced to the Copa America semifinals Friday night with a penalty shootout victory over Ecuador. Enzo Fernandez eliminated Chelsea teammates Moises Caicedo and Kendry Paez.Caicedo and Enzo may have been foes that night, but they’ll be buddies and teammates again when they return to Chelsea for pre-season training and the next season.
“Great” Chelsea player can show that Riccardo Calafiori isn’t necessary
According to reports, Chelsea is reportedly prepared to include players in a trade for Riccardo Calafiori.
Even though the Blues are heavy favorites to sign the 22-year-old, rumors have it that Arsenal is also interested.
Even though Chelsea lost out on Calafiori to their London rivals, the loss shouldn’t derail their season, particularly considering they have defenders that are comparable to the Italian.Alternatives for Enzo Maresca’s left defenseThere is no way that Chelsea’s left back line is their team’s weak spot.
Depending on the situation, either Benoit Badiashile or Levi Colwill can start at left back or play on the left side of central defense.
But left back is a position that calls for Marc Cucurella or Ben Chilwell.At this time, Calafiori is likely to be attractive to Chelsea because he can play either forward or defense.
However, it should be noted that Colwill was also a two-position player last season.Pоtentially saving Chelsea milliоns, Levi CоlwillColwill has been forward about his struggles in the 2023–24 season while starting as left back.
Yet, the Brit continued to play a plethora of games in that location. And he’s still young enough (21 years old) to have room to develop into the role.
As a footballer, Colwill is generally excellent. A “fantastic talent” in Mauricio Pochettino’s estimation, the previous manager of Santos.
According to FBref, the England international has made 94 tackles last year, which places him in the 94th percentile among center backs.
It might be a mistake to pass up the chance to sign Calafiori. Enzo Maresca may come to the realization that he does not truly require his compatriot after glancing at Colwill throughout preseason.
Things could change slightly if Chelsea loses a left-footed defender this summer. Although Chilwell’s fitness record is concerning, Maresca is generally pleased with his selections at left back and left center back.
