THE 5 OFFICIAL DISMISSALS OF CHELSEA
- Antonio Rudiger (Germany). The farewell that hurts the most, without a doubt. Los Blues they stopped having their best center back. Tuchel said it since he found out that the German was not going to renew: they will miss him very much. Strong marker, brutal in the air, leadership, physical power and aggressiveness, with and without the ball. His last two campaigns in England were fantastic. He is a TOP defender. So clear.
- Andreas Christensen (Denmark). He did not have as much prominence as Toni, but there is no denying that he is a defender of international stature. Cesc Fabregas worked with him and said that he had everything to go very far in the world of football, although he believes that he lacks more fang and mischief. He is fast, physically he is a wonder, he has great handling of the ball and he improved a lot in 1 vs 1. His destiny seems to be Xavi’s FC Barcelona.
- Danny Drinkwater (Inglaterra). Without exaggeration, one of the worst signings in the history of Chelsea. He was bought for almost 40 million euros and he never came close to being the midfielder we saw in Los Foxes. They wanted to join him with N’Golo Kanté, who was the core duo of Claudio Ranieri’s legendary team, but only the French midfielder was up to the task. Lack of confidence, a lot of physical problems and a lot of transfers. Nothing worked out with him. He leaves without having left anything.
- Charly Musonda (Belgium). With his change of pace, ability to balance and daring, he aimed at the absolute elite. Unfortunately, knee injuries were slowing him down and he was never able to explode. In one of his assignments, with Real Betis in Spain, we remind him of some flashes of quality. But nothing was ever the same. At 25 years old, and already recovered from his physical problems, he will try to redirect his career elsewhere.
- Jake Clarke-Salter (Inglaterra). Another promise that did not end up being consolidated in The Bridge. He spent more time on loan than in the Chelsea first team. He is 24 years old. He is central defender. He had a good loan with Vitesse. Then came three consecutive seasons playing regularly in the English Second Division. He is sounding like a possible reinforcement of Sheffield United.
Undefeated data. Antonio Rudiger concluded a cycle of 5 seasons with Chelsea. He is UEFA Champions League champion, UEFA Europa League champion, FA Cup champion, Club World Cup champion and European Super Cup champion. Fingerprint.
Did you know…? Andreas Christensen was Borussia M’gladbach’s MVP (he was on loan) in 2016 and Chelsea’s Young MVP in 2018. He has played 243 games between German football and English football.
