Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has criticised Chelsea’s management for buying too many players. And leaving the club with too many players, but still not performing well.
Since Todd Boehly took over, the Blues have bought 44 players in two years. Worth over £1.2 billion, but their performance has been disappointing and not close to reclaiming their greatness. They recently lost their opening game at home to Manchester City 0-2.UFABET
Current boss Enzo Maresca has said that the team has too many players in training. Which reduces the quality and tactical ability of the team, similar to former managers Mauricio Pochettino and Graham Potter.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Redknapp said: “He (Maresca) has to come back to training tomorrow and he will have a very unhappy face on his face.
“Normally we have an 11v11 game on Thursday, trying to get the team to play as one. You have 20 players playing 11v11, how is that possible?”
“The best Premier League teams of the last five years have worked with 24 or 25 players in their squad. How do they think and why do they think about reforming football and trying to do that?”
Chelsea have signed over 10 new players in the summer window and the transfer business doesn’t seem to have ended. The Blues are also looking to sign a quality striker in Victor Osimhen to bolster their attack before the window is closed.
