Chelsea have had a management downside for a while now, and it looks like that management downside isn’t just on the pitch and can be now on the very high of the membership as effectively.
However anyway, I’m not talking in regards to the homeowners on this article, that is extra a few lack of management on the pitch.
I don’t price Reece James as an excessive amount of of a captain a minimum of in a conventional sense. In fact, you may 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 may be clearly some off discipline stuff and query marks there (he’s not too long ago been banned from driving and did not attend court docket 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 by way of being a pacesetter on the pitch.
However for me, probably the most appropriate captain we now have proper now’s Levi Colwill. I noticed him as the one vocal participant within the tunnel earlier than the Bournemouth sport on Saturday while everybody else was quiet. For me, doing this type 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 constantly 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 constantly enjoying effectively and is in an excellent place on the pitch to be captain, as a result of he can see the entire sport forward of him. Among the finest ever captains in world soccer have been centre backs, and the perfect ever captain we now have had to date, John Terry, was a centre again. There are numerous similarities between Terry and Colwill.
This can be a younger and inexperienced squad, and we frequently see the detrimental results of getting no actual leaders within the workforce. Colwill is one who can rise up and I imagine he would rise up much more if given the duty of being captain.
Individuals would possibly assume he flirted with Liverpool not too long ago, however that was by no means as massive because it was made out and at the moment, Colwill was not sure how a lot Chelsea valued him and he was on the lookout for the membership to point out him that.
Now, he’s rising as a participant and rising as an individual, and I actually 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 seem like Enzo Maresca goes to alter 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 acquired it in my view and must be captain, or a minimum of considered one of them.
