29-man roster.
The staff is quite large.
This is the Chelsea squad for the 2003-04 season.
There are several players from Chelsea's youth academy on this list, including goalkeeper Kevin Kidd, John Terry, Robert Huth, Forssell, Carlton Cole, etc.
It's a pity that among these youth academy players, only Terry can play on the main roster.
As for the other youth training players, their strength is quite good. If they are given to teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, they can still play the main role. Especially Huth, Fussell, Carlton Cole, etc.
If you are in a small team, they are all treasures.
But at Chelsea I can only sit on the bench because Chelsea now have too many good players.
Summer transfers cost more than £90 million.
A lot of players were bought.
But football is not just about buying good players and putting them on the field. If it were that simple, there would be no coaching industry.
The tragedies of Veron and Mendieta will not happen either.
Su Yun wants to observe these purchased players.
Take a look at their status to determine the main lineup for the new season.
Duff's performance was the best.
He has been in the Premier League for seven seasons and has no need to adapt from Blackburn to Sunderland to Chelsea. And he is also very clear about Su Yun's coaching ideas.
Therefore, his integration speed is the fastest.
Chelsea is like his old club.
Once you go up, you can connect seamlessly.
This made Su Yun very happy.
Among others, Rosicky and Gallas also performed well.
Rosicky, in particular, gave Su Yun a big surprise. His dribbling, dribbling, and passing in the midfield all made Su Yun's eyes shine. And his excellent long-passing ability also made Su Yun stand out.
Appreciate.
Rosicky.
This is a genius.
He can change his rhythm at will on the court.
Explosive power and speed are currently lacking in Chelsea's midfield.
With Rosicky, Chelsea can change the tempo of the game at will in the midfield. This is a very outstanding player.
Although there is no official competition yet, Su Yun already feels that his eighteen million pounds has not been in vain.
And Gala.
This player is good.
His physical fitness is very good. He plays well in every position on the back line. He is also good in both frontal defense and chasing defense.
Over eight million pounds is not expensive at all.
Of course it's not all good news.
The first is Joe Cole, who is known as England's genius.
He has been valued by the English media since he was a teenager. He was as famous as Irving at the time, and he was younger than Irving.
As a rare technical player in English football, Joe Cole's skills are really good.
His feints are dazzling.
Totally comparable to those Brazilian players.
In West Ham United, he has always been the team's attacking midfielder. West Ham United also gave him unlimited support, allowing him to play freely in the frontcourt. But Su Yun will never let him play freely in the frontcourt.
Modern football has fewer and fewer superstars who stand alone.
Even players of Zidane and Ronaldo's level need to follow the coach's tactics. What's more, Joe Cole.
Su Yun has been thinking about what position Joe Cole should play.
Middle road, side road.
Never thought about it well.
And he's too slow.
It's not that the speed is slow or the response is slow. It's that the rhythm is slow.
After the ball came to his feet, he started to play. He was always superstitious about his own skills and did not pass the ball when he should. This made Su Yun very disappointed with Joe Cole.
Could this be the genius that the English boast about?
Of course, Joe Cole's potential is also very high.
189.
But the performance was very poor.
Su Yun knows that this is because Joe Cole has been favored since he was a child, and he is even more favored at West Ham United. Almost all coaches are obedient to him, and he is the boss in the West Ham United frontcourt.
That's why.
Dribbling the ball always drags on.
Su Yun will never allow such a player in his team.
After Su Yun joined Chelsea, he played more defensive counterattacks. The emphasis is on speed and no player is allowed to slow down the pace of the game.
It is precisely for this reason that Su Yun did not buy Veron.
Zahavi recommended Veron to Abu.
But Su Yun rejected Veron. Because Veron's predicament at Manchester United was actually impossible to solve at Chelsea. So although he was unwilling to conflict with Zahavi, Su Yun still rejected Veron.
Veron is like this, but Joe Cole is nothing.
After a few training games, Joe Cole, the genius of West Ham United, was put into the substitute lineup by Su Yunshi.
Of course, when Su Yun bought Joe Cole, he never thought about making him the main player. But he was much worse than he thought.
But the performance of the other person completely disappointed Su Yun.
Even very angry.
Joaquin.
A genius that has attracted the attention of all Europe.
Su Yun was really disappointed.
He is indeed a genius.
A rare genius.
Potential value 196.
In the current Chelsea team, there are talents with the same potential as Williams and Eto'o. There are many talents in Chelsea's current team with a potential value exceeding 190.
But there are very few who exceed 195.
This includes Manchester United and Arsenal.
Among these giants, the potential value of 190 is not a new thing. Generally speaking, the strength of the main players is above 185. There are also several with 190.
But 195 is a watershed.
There are not many players who can exceed 195 among those giants. Currently, the European giants are composed of one or two players with 195 or above, and the powerful giants have two or three players.
Then most of them are players around 190.
This constitutes a wealthy team.
Of course Real Madrid is an exception.
Joaquin's potential value of 196 is rare even among the European giants.
Su Yun was very happy.
Because they hired a good player.
But his performance on the court disappointed Su Yun.
Fear.
Su Yun only felt this way.
Joaquin is afraid of physical contact. He doesn't like physical confrontation. When training in the team, Joaquin deliberately avoids physical confrontation.
In this regard, Joaquin is far inferior to Joe Cole.
Joe Cole's biggest problem now is that he is obsessed with his own skills.
Don't know how to pass the ball at the right time.
This is his biggest problem.
Su Yun is sure of this problem as long as he is determined to fix it. But Joaquin is afraid of fighting, which is not a good sign.
What is the Premier League?
It is the league with the most intense physical confrontation. English fans believe that football is a game for the brave. If you can't even compete physically, then why play football?
This made Su Yun frown tightly.
genius.
The most indispensable thing in this world is genius.
But in the end, few succeeded.
Su Yun spent 24 million pounds.
In addition to being afraid of physical confrontation, Joaquin is not the kind of person with a very sunny personality. Within a few days of arriving at Chelsea, Duff has already integrated into the Chelsea dressing room very smoothly.
But Joaquin is different.
He is somewhat reticent.
We don't see many smiles from Joaquin every day in training. Williams' dead face cannot be helped by his character. But Joaquin's lack of smiles is because he is in a strange environment and he is consciously protecting himself.
Players like this make it difficult for Su Yun.
Su Yun didn't know how to help this genius.
Of course, it's not just Joaquin who has problems now. Lucio, who Su Yun spent a lot of money to bring in, also has a lot of problems.
Very willing to assist.
Although Su Yun warned him many times, he could not suppress his eagerness to attack.
What Su Yun wants is a stable central defender, not an impetuous central defender.
There are still many problems.
Of course, Su Yun has already considered these difficulties. He bought six players for 90 million pounds. It is absolutely impossible for them all to adapt to the new team. Various problems will definitely arise.
But there are more problems than imagined.
But most of them can still be solved.
There was only one person that Su Yun didn't know what to do.
That's Joaquín.
What should this genius do?
But before Su Yun could think about it, the new season was about to begin.
Not the Premier League.
But the Champions League.
Because Chelsea finished third in the Premier League last season, they had to participate in the third round of the Champions League qualifying round.
For the top teams in the Premier League, this kind of game is just a formality.
After all, the opponents are all very weak teams.
This time is no exception.
Chelsea's opponent is Slovakia's Srina Football Club. Since the disintegration of Czechoslovakia and the Slovak du li, their football has never had any talented players.
Compared to them, the Czech side has a lot of geniuses.
Including Rosicky.
Slovak football has been increasingly declining in the past ten years.
Su Yun had never heard of any Srina Club.
beat.
Although this qualifying round is said to be easy, Su Yun still attaches great importance to it. If he had not even passed the qualifying round, he would not need to be fired by the new boss, so Su Yun would have resigned and left.
Su Yun has not changed much about the lineup.
Only Duff has entered the lineup among the new players. There are no other changes.
The striker combination is Gudjohnsen and Eto'o.
Play more cautiously.
But the opponent's strength was too weak. Chelsea easily defeated their opponent 3-0 in the away game.
Gudjohnsen and Eto'o each scored a goal, plus an own goal from the opponent's defender.
Three to zero away game.
Chelsea has already entered the main match.
Time goes very quickly.
The new season of the Premier League is about to begin.
On August 17th, in the first round of the 2003-04 Premier League season, Chelsea challenged Liverpool away from home.
