Chelsea have had a management drawback for a while now, and it looks like that management drawback isn’t just on the pitch and can also be now on the very high of the membership as effectively.
However anyway, I’m not talking in regards to the house owners on this article, that is extra a couple of lack of management on the pitch.
I don’t fee Reece James as an excessive amount of of a captain at the least in a standard sense. In fact, you possibly can lead by instance and there are such captains, however for me, I need to see a vocal captain, and James is simply too quiet. He’s additionally simply too injured more often than not as effectively.
Enzo Fernandez I do like as a captain, however there’s clearly some off subject stuff and query marks there (he’s just lately been banned from driving and did not attend courtroom 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 best traits that we want when it comes to being a pacesetter on the pitch.
However for me, probably the most appropriate captain we have now proper now could be 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 important 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 once 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 attempting to get the gamers up round you. Colwill does that probably the most.
Is he an ideal captain possibility? Not but. However he’s probably the most appropriate to develop into one in my view.
He’s additionally persistently enjoying effectively and is in a terrific place on the pitch to be captain, as a result of he can see the entire recreation forward of him. Among the finest ever captains in world soccer have been centre backs, and one of the best ever captain we have now had to this point, John Terry, was a centre again. There are lots of similarities between Terry and Colwill.
This can be a younger and inexperienced squad, and we regularly see the detrimental results of getting no actual leaders within the crew. Colwill is one who can get up and I imagine he would get up much more if given the accountability of being captain.
Individuals would possibly assume he flirted with Liverpool just lately, however that was by no means as massive 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 really imagine he has the constant high quality and management expertise to be our membership captain.
It’s all irrelevant anyway as a result of it doesn’t appear 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 in my view and ought to be captain, or at the least certainly one of them.
