WHAT ZI-YECH
Avram Grant believes that Hakim Ziyech can be a very important player for Frank Lampard this season.
He told the National, “Frank will be a very wise coach, now he’s a wise coach, but he’ll revel because he’s a wise guy.
“He has a smart brain for football, knows the game and has played with many coaches, [and] has given him another perspective.
‘Even though other people say he’s young, he didn’t start without delay in Chelsea, he did with Derby for a year. He did an intelligent task and last year, with the prohibition of movements, was a clever joy for him.
“You see the effects, what Chelsea has done this year. They have done a very clever task in the movement window and will fight for the championship. I’m sure you will. “
AWAKENING ROUD
French manager Didier Deschamps has warned Olivier Giroud, saying he would possibly have to leave Chelsea in January if he needs to decide for his Euro team.
When asked why he had selected Anthony Martian over Giroud for the clash against Portugal, Deschamps said: “I make the possible options that I think are those for the French team.
“With Anthony being a smart player, we need to be a little deeper.
“Compared to Olivier, he has to be shocked, first and foremost with the stage he has in his club, knowing that he has a wide frame and that he wants rhythm, it is hard.
“That’s not why I need to lose him, it’s complicated, we’re going to communicate it, but it’s clear that what matters most to him is that it doesn’t last to keep it competitive, but we won’t have to. “he’s done it with us and what he can still do.
“Anthony has another profile still offering options. Anthony, today, is more realized and in better physical and mental condition, of course.
GUNNER NEEDS SOMEONE.
Arsenal legend Lee Dixon believes the club will have to recruit a player in the same mold as Chelsea ace Mason Mount.
Responding to the Gunners’ lack of creativity, Dixon told the Handbrake Off podcast that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can bring the burden of scoring alone.
He said: “It’s a big general addiction to a player to make you a goal.
“It doesn’t make sense from anywhere else, although Lacazette is 3 out of six, it turns out she’s gone from the ball.
“No purpose since midfield at all. No midfielder who forces the groups to return as a Mason Mount or who crosses the middle like that and gets into the area.
“So how can you play with that, and I haven’t even talked about the last four or five, so limited in what you can achieve. “
