DBasia.news – Chelsea began to be linked with a number of star players ahead of the opening of the summer transfer market. The Blues manager, Thomas Tuchel, admits he has a unique way to determine which players will be brought to Stamford Bridge.
At the start of this season, Chelsea made a surprise by bringing in high paying stars such as Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell and Hakim Ziyech. But their arrival did not make the London club able to compete in the hunt for the Premier League title.
Ironically, the new players also appeared sluggish. This is one of the reasons Frank Lampard was fired from the managerial position.
Currently, Chelsea has continued to be linked with big names. Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, to Harry Kane are some of them.
With equal quality, Tuchel will certainly be confused about determining the right players to strengthen his squad. If you take a wrong step, the arrival of a new star can actually have a negative effect.
Not wanting that to happen, Tuchel already had a surefire way to prevent it. He will invite the Chelsea squad for discussions to determine the ideal signing.
“I spoke with a music conductor in Germany and he described a moment in search of a new replacement musician for his orchestra. He chose three people he might like as successors, but the final decision was made through lengthy discussions with his orchestra.” said Tuchel to The Star.
“It made a lot of sense to me because they have to play with new people. I am brave enough to think about the same things in football recruits. “
“Allowing a team to choose responsible people like your captains to discuss which player they think is the most suitable? It is outside the habit of thinking in football, “he added.
Chelsea’s transfer strategy
Chelsea’s maneuvers in the transfer market last summer received praise. In the midst of a pandemic that has disrupted the club’s economy, it seems they have no trouble bringing in many star players.
The figure of Marina Granovskaia as club director plays an important role in this. Roman Abramovich’s hands were a skilled negotiator.
However, Granovskaia’s influence is reportedly also getting bigger and has made Lampard uncomfortable. This problem arose before the manager was fired.
Tuchel who chose to discuss with his players certainly brought a breath of fresh air. The role of Granovskaia is now starting to be reduced.
It is interesting to see Chelsea’s success in the transfer market with this method. If not, Tuchel could have the same fate as Lampard.
