SILVA MEDAL

“Even when the ball is on the other side of the field, [he says] ‘Chilly [Chilwell], it goes a little bit to the house. Chilly, you can pass extra now.
“Being playing with someone who is heading at the highest point and who can literally help you for the full 90 minutes. . . goes unnoticed, how smart it is to play with it.

FAB ADVICE
Cesc Fábregas believes Mikel Arteta adopts a technique similar to that of former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho at Arsenal.
He told 90min. com, “That’s the key in those days, especially from what I’ve noticed in the last four or years with the coaches I’ve had.
“They come up with an idea, they seek to start with this idea, but as soon as something goes wrong, they become a little . . . they don’t get scared, but they’d rather get effects and gain confidence than continue their philosophy or concepts and lose.
“As [Joseph] Mourinho used to say, you have to be pragmatic. Maybe at the beginning of those days you have to do effects first, I don’t deny it, but you have to have personality.
“For example, as Patrick Vieira in Niza. Je followed him to New York and now to Nice for a few years.
“He has a young team, but he follows his philosophy no matter what. He likes to play. He knows young people will make mistakes, but he says, “If you make a mistake, it’s me. “He’s personalidad. no to change.
“You probably wouldn’t see Vieira 4-4-2 on the defensive or anything like that because he still believes in his players and his methodology. It’s really good to see coaches like that. “
Good, good
Ben Chilwell praised Timo Werner by comparing him to Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane.
He told Soccer AM: “I would say he’s with them [Kane and Vardy] and in fact he can continue to be global elegance for a long time for the next 10 years.

Before adding: “It has features for Vards and Harry to be fair.
“In terms of channel transmission and the speed with which it is, it’s similar to Vards. “With Harry, his binding and final game are similar. He’s in a category with both. “
LIVE AND WERN
Timo Werner said Chelsea made him more robust.
Speaking at a press conference, the Blues star said, “In England they play a lot of long balls, the taste of the game is a little different from here in the national team. “

BLUE BEAUTY

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 could not carry the burden of scoring alone.
He said: “It’s a big general addiction to a player to turn you into 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 discussed the last four or five, so limited in what you can achieve. “

FAB FIRMS
Former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fábregas has praised the club’s summer activity by noting that he is vying for the Premier League title.
He said to the Daily Mail, “I like this team.
“They added a lot of quality, speed and creativity that was missing.
“They gave Thiago Silva leadership.
“Their goal is to win the league this season because I think with Liverpool and Man City they have the most productive team in terms of talent. “
BLUE MOON
Announcer Ian Darke believes Chelsea can win the Premier League if Thiago Silva stays in the most sensible way during the season.
He told ESPN: “I think they’re hard black horses as things evolve. The big question is whether they can fix their defense with leaks.
‘Looks like they can, because Mendy seemed forged since he came to the game with purpose and Thiago Silva is a leader and any elegance on his back.
“So if you can keep Thiago Silva fit, with the attacking ability you also have, you have as many opportunities as anyone. “
OLD SCOUNDREL
Chelsea left-back Emerson Palmieri has been told about his long career by revealing that he could leave the club in January.
As quoted through Calciomercato, the Italian zaguero said: “Here in the selection I play, I laugh and I am fine.
“The coach told me that the most productive solution for me to play, at Chelsea or some other team, let’s wait the next two months to see what happens.
“Unfortunately I don’t play at Chelsea, but I’m calm, I think things can in London or elsewhere.
“There is some interest in me, but there are no concrete things. I’d like to go back and play in Italy, but I can’t tell if it’s January or five years from now. “
ON THE WALL
Tony Cascarino, a former Chelsea star, has claimed that Theo Walcott has never been coached by Arséne Wenger.
He said in Talksport: “I’ve been a Walcott fan.
But I felt like I had never been well trained because I was a young player who left Southampton to move to Arsenal and joined a fantastic team of players at Arsenal.
“He discovered his way. At one point he had a season, had more than 20 goals and seemed to be looking to play a center forward role instead of being a band player.
“Honestly, I think he’s a player who hasn’t trained enough in many positions to play and progress in a player because Theo has it all.
“He is technically intelligent and was given speed. I think if you’ve worked with Theo on the tactical aspect, I think he’s an intelligent young man.
“I think one of the most important things that happened at Arsenal with Wenger was Theo. I didn’t think Theo was a player who’s taken a step forward like him.
