MAT IS AMAZING
Talk about letting it go after retirement.
A Premier League winner did just that when images of former Chelsea player appeared with a grey beard and tattoos.
In an astonishing transformation, the former player used his freedom.
And it’s like he hasn’t ventured into a barbershop for a few years with his messy, too big mop and Santa-style beard.
The player, if they recognize him, is Mateja Kezman.

EFL RESCUE STATEMENT
EFL leaders told Prem clubs that a two hundred million pound rescue plan was “urgent” to keep everyone alive, MARTIN LIPTON reports.
Discussions between Prem and EFL President Rick Parry have intensified in recent weeks, as the truth of the start of the season has been behind closed doors.
Parry recalled the fact that une enthusiast-free gambling would charge EFL’s 72 clubs about 20 million pounds a month, or two hundred million pounds throughout the season.
While the Prem parties are willing to help, SunSport has revealed that they will most likely require strict situations about how cash is distributed and spent.
But there is genuine concern that, without the budget available soon, clubs may go bankrupt “in a few weeks. “
Considerations come when Macclesfield, expelled from the EFL last month, settled in the High Court for debts of more than 500,000 euros.
WAITING FOR THE O-KAY
Everton hopes to signal Chelsea’s central defender Fikayo Tomori a one-season contract.
Toffees manager Carlo Ancelotti is ahead to strengthen his defense before the move-in deadline and sees England’s young foreigner as the best signing.
The Blues ceded defender Kurt Zouma to Goodison Park for the 2018-19 campaign.
And The Times says Everton needs to secure a similar deal on the line for Tomori, 22, in the coming weeks.
The player himself is waiting to see if Chelsea will allow him to leave Stamford Bridge.
Everton are lightweight as a central defender, with Michael Keane, Mason Holgate and Yerry Mina their only senior options.
CHELSEA FANS GOOD MORNING
Thiago Silva photographed in chelsea colors for the first time.
The Brazilian power plant, which arrived with a loose PSG this summer, trained in Cobham for the first time.
This happens as Chelsea prepare to face league champion Liverpool on Sunday.
Before the game, Kurt Zouma said, “We have nothing to offer people.
“What I would say is that we are only on ourselves.
“Of course, Chelsea is a team that plays for titles. It’s going to be a game, two big groups are fighting.
“It will be to look.
“Last season, Liverpool absolutely dominated the season, they had a wonderful winning streak. They lost a little.
“But it’s the year. Everybody starts from scratch.
“We’ll see what we can do. We’re going to compete with the best.
“They have a big front of three, but we also have our weapons. We can hurt them. “
TAPIADA
Frank Lampard seems to have a different opinion with Chelsea’s board about a possible offer by Declan Rice.
David Ornstein says the Blues coach is still willing to bring in the West Ham star and turn him into a central defender.
However, Chelsea with a value of around 73 million pounds and members of the club hierarchy have been quoted that those rates are not a smart cost for their money.
They would also be involved that Rice has still solved all the technical deficiencies that led him to be released by Chelsea’s academy as a young man.
I’ll do it sometime.
Garth Crooks said Chelsea’s resolve to allow Willian to go to the rival Arsenal is “madness. “
He wrote in his column for the BBC: “Regular readers will know what I do about Willian as a player.
“I said last season that Chelsea couldn’t lose him.
“Letting Arsenal’s London rivals, of all teams, pass by is crazy and may charge them dearly in the latest analysis. “
“Against an out-of-reach Fulham team, Willian produced a first feature that must have been an agonizing watch for his former coach Frank Lampard.
“What did Chelsea do?”
FOR REVENGE
Chelsea will face 25 former stars in the 2020–21 season with TWO Premier League rivals NO with a former Stamford Bridge player.
The Stamford Bridge revolving door has circled in recent years, especially since roman Abramovich’s 2003 arrival.
In addition to borrowing hordes of talented young men, the Blues have never hesitated to sell their rivals to fund their mega-money moves.
But that may now bite them on the back with no fewer than 25 former players, and coaches, lately on their league rivals.

Fernando Torres claims to have arrived at Chelsea in 2011 after Liverpool “lied to him”.
The 36-year-old former Spanish foreigner controversially played Anfield for Stamford Bridge in a 50 million pound move after scoring 81 goals in 142 games.
He told talkSPORT: “I was satisfied in Liverpool.
But if at the time, the club was about to sell and it was a very delicate situation.
“They sold all their most productive players, Javier Mascherano, Xabi Alonso, Rafa Benitez, and recruited young players.
“So it took them six, six, seven years to re-create a winning team and I didn’t have that time because I left home at Athletic to win titles.
“Unfortunately, there were a lot of lies from Liverpool’s homeowners at the time, and in the end I had to locate my own path to Chelsea, which I think would be the club that would be offering me the chance to win trophies. “. “
KOP EN
Andy Robertson revealed that he sent a selfie of himself dressed in a Chelsea blouse to the Liverpool players’ WhatsApp organization before the Blues beat Manchester City, which crowned the Reds champions.
He wrote in his new book, Robbo: Now You Goingnna Créanos: “What do you wear if you’re a Liverpool player preparing for what may become the most important day of your football career so far?”Chelsea T-shirt.
“While the rest of the boys were getting ready for a fried fish that we all expected to turn into a winners’ party, I walked into my closet and pulled out the T-shirt Billy Gilmour had given me a few months earlier.
“When I put it on, I felt a little tight, but I looked for the color, not the adjustment. He followed a quick selfie and posted the photo in our organization’s chat.
“‘Guys, what’s the dress code for tonight?”, I asked and a series of joking answers and emojis didn’t envy my phone at full throttle. “Then it’s shorts and a T-shirt, ” I thought.
“Not that I would have been serious anyway. I was just looking to give the boys a chance to have a soda, but there was no doubt that for one night and only one night, everyone who was convinced of Liverpool would go to Chelsea. All they needed was a draw,” and we’d be champions.

IS THE JURY SAFE?
Jurgen Klopp recently announced Chelsea’s laving summer spending, but Liverpool’s lineup charges more than the Blues.
Reds manager has targeted Western Londoners on the grounds that Liverpool is a “different kind of club” and that they will “change overnight and behave like Chelsea. “
Frank Lampard temporarily retaliated against the German, and it turns out that the Blues boss had reason to protect his club when his opening day line-up claimed £ 43 million less than Liverpool’s.
Chelsea’s line-up for his 3–1 win at Brighton saw four academy graduates included in a team that charges 307 million pounds.
While for the house’s 4-3 win over Leeds, Klopp’s team had a star, Trent Alexander-Arnold of his academy, and the other ten cost 353 million pounds.

“Football in the Premier League suits me. In our two matches against Brighton, they remained very firm and did not leave much room. “

“Most [Ghanaian] players born in Europe, if you need to inspire them to come and play with Ghana, it’s very difficult.
“They aspire above all to play for their country of birth or host country. Even their parents don’t do it for their children to play in Ghana. “

IS THE JURY SAFE?
Jurgen Klopp recently announced Chelsea’s laving summer spending, but Liverpool’s lineup charges more than the Blues squad.
The Blues’ lineup for their 3-1 win in Brighton saw four academy graduates included in a team that charged 307 million pounds.
While for the house’s 4-3 win over Leeds, Klopp’s team had a star, Trent Alexander-Arnold of his academy, and the other ten cost 353 million pounds.
NEVER COME BACK?
They say never come back . . . but don’t tell Gareth Bale.
Real Madrid’s star is close to signing a very good transfer contract to return to Tottenham after a seven-year absence.
After a lukewarm era under Jose Mourinho, Spurs enthusiasts will desperately need their former hero to get into the goal as they did in the smart old days.
Bale has 56 goals and 58 assists in more than two hundred appearances before his departure of 85 million pounds in 2013.
But, with a questionable injury history and a bad relationship with Zinedine Zidane, which will allow him to spend a lot of time on the sidelines, there will be many skeptics before his return.
Here, the main points of SunSport where 4 returning youngsters can be inspired, adding chelsea legend Didier Drogba, and 3 who dare to imitate HERE.
FALSE START
Dream Team XI made up of widely decided players, adding Chelsea star Kai Havertz, failed to score a bachelor point in the first week of the match.
The 71 million-pound striker (3. 5 million pounds at stake) made his Premier League debut in Brighton, admitting after the attack that England’s elite’s physical demands were greater than those of the Bundesliga.
It would be foolish to cancel a player with the attributes of German after just one game, but if he needs to slowly get acquainted with English football, the Dream Team’s Gaffers may decide to quit while discovering their brand.
THINK FAST
Chelsea will receive Liverpool on Sunday, and either side will look for their winning starts for the 2019–20 season.
In a tasty clash full of exciting matches, one stands out from the others: Timo Werner vs Virgil van Dijk.
But who is the speed demons?
