Chelsea's star general decided to move to Barcelona!

For Chelsea, the team's performance this season is moderate. Although at the beginning of the season, they were not in the best shape, and the team's ranking was not ideal. However, after Porter's arrival, Chelsea's form has recovered significantly, winning all three matches in all competitions. In the league, the team has climbed to the 4th place, 8 points away from the top team. However, Chelsea has the advantage of one less game. In the Champions League, they also regained the initiative by winning an excellent match to move to the 2nd place. From the current situation, if Chelsea can get on the right track, then their performance in this season is still quite worthy of expectation.

Objectively speaking, after Porter came to the team, he is still quite successful in building the team's tactics. In fact, since last season, Chelsea has received a lot of criticism in the technical and tactical aspects. Unlike Chelsea's previous defensive style, Porter's predecessor, Touche, has been pushing the ground game. For the most part, Chelsea has been organizing their attacks in a step-by-step manner. The advantage of this is that they have a good enough possession rate to be in a dominant position on the field, however, from the actual performance, when Chelsea advances near the opponent's box, they can only pass on the outside most of the time because the opponent's defensive formation is already set up. This, coupled with the lack of creative midfielders with good passing skills, made it difficult for them to create good chances in the attack. As a result, Chelsea was unable to turn their advantage into a win, whether they played with a central striker or without a striker in the late stages. This is one of the major reasons why the team chose to change their manager.

In Porter's tactical system, Chelsea abandoned the useless possession to the greatest extent, and instead pursued speed and efficiency in the attack. In the attack, Porter asked the team to speed up the tempo of the game, the players' running without the ball and passing speed are significantly faster, in the fast attacking advance, they also create more opportunities. Especially in the defensive counter-attack, Chelsea can often take advantage of the opponent's unstable moment to quickly advance to the opponent's box, looking for holes in the opponent's defensive formation, thus creating a threat. On the defensive side, Porter asked the players to press as high as possible. When Chelsea lost the ball in the attacking end, the forward players immediately turned into the first line of defense, slowing down the opponent's attacking rhythm as much as possible to buy time for the midfield and the back line to set up the defense. Compared to the beginning of the season, the team is much better overall in attack and defense. Porter really showed his skills in building the team's technical and tactical skills.

Under Porter, there has been a noticeable resurgence in the form of some players. These players, who were almost forgotten by the team, have become the main characters in the team again. One of the most representative is Pugilistic. Before Porter came to the team, Pugilistic had almost become a marginal player in the team, only got one start in the league, no goals and no assists. However, after Porter came to the team, Pugilistic contributed a goal and an assist in 78 minutes of playing time in 2 games, and his performance has improved. Specifically, Porter reinserted Pugilistic into the left-wing position. In this position, Pugilistic can use his excellent speed to attack the opponent's defense and send passes to his teammates, or he can use his excellent dribbling skills to cut inside in the rib area, thus directly threatening the opponent's goal. In this position, Pugilistic and Munster and others work very well together.

Predictably, if Pugilistic can maintain his current form, then he has a good chance of becoming a part of Porter's starting lineup. For a player who was once on the verge of leaving the team, such a change would indeed be welcome. However, there are some players who have not performed to expectations this season, such as Forging. At the age of 30, Forging's running ability and physical confrontation have both declined significantly, which makes him look more and more incompetent on the field. This season, as the team's main midfielder, Forging has made 8 league appearances and scored 1 goal, with an average rating of only 6.59 points. Such a rating only ranks 13th in the team. From the current situation, it seems that the team has no intention to extend his contract. The Italian international has also decided to leave. According to All market, Forging has basically decided on his next home. The Chelsea starter has decided to move to Bar ca next season.

In the case of Forging's departure, Chelsea's side wants to sign an outstanding replacement. According to the Telegraph, Chelsea have targeted Mourning's favorite Peregrine for reinforcements, hoping to get him in their pocket. The 26-year-old midfielder has four years left on his contract with the team and is valued at 45 million euros in the transfer market.
