Mount is the proud son of Chelsea's academy, and although he has had several loan careers since entering the first team, he has been pinned high hopes on by London fans after returning to Stamford Bridge, after all, he is a child who grew up in this club. So Mount has also been called the "Prince of Chelsea", from Lampard to Tuchel, these managers are very focused on the growth of their own youth players, they have given Mount a lot of opportunities. However, many people have also found a problem - the Blues prince seems to have never been the core of the club's future team building, whether it is fans or celebrities, accustomed to Havts, Pulisic and other stars imported from other teams as the core of Stamford Bridge team building.
However, under this unclear positioning, Mount played better than the new signings bought by Abu at a high price - after Chelsea beat Porto in the Champions League knockout round, Jorginho tucked the ball straight into Mount, the Blues prince used a clever turn to clear the obstacles around him, a series of operations that were hailed as "Cruyff possession". At the same time, Mount has shown a good big picture view in these key games, and his potential as a midfield master has also been shown, is Tuchel's tactics going to favor the prince? In an exclusive interview on April 9, Premier League star Joe Cole advised tusson to build a team around Mount.
'I still advise Tuchel to build a team around Mount, there was a time when the talent of young England players was overrated, but now their talent is somewhat underestimated, and Mount is one of them. In Joe Cole's view, the Chelsea Prince's talent in the Blues squad is already in the "ceiling", although he is very young and immature in some places, but his skills are already very comprehensive, which is rare among young players. Last summer, Abramovich spent a lot of money bringing in German twin stars Werner and Havertz, who are also young, many people think That Mount's position at Stamford Bridge is hanging, and some are worried that he is going to start another loan career.
There is some truth to the fans' fears, chelsea are, after all, a big club, and are unlikely to give young players enough room to grow. Mount is also a newcomer to British football, and if he sits on the bench at the club, I believe that national team coach Southgate does not agree. As early as when he was 18 years old, he had the opportunity to enter the first team, but from his situation at the time, he could only sit on the bench in the first team, and if he was allowed to play in the U23 league, he was a bit aggrieved by his level. So at that time, Abu used a compromise method, allowing him to train at the Championship club on loan.
Although the Championship is different from the Premier League, their style is the same, which allows Mount to return to Stamford Bridge, he has a lot less time to adapt to the Style of the Premier League than new signings such as Havertz and Werner. And from this season's point of view, the big heart of the Chelsea prince has gradually been revealed, and the author also feels that he has some feelings of being strong when he is strong. And he's improved in his ability to read games, and before Lampard wanted to develop his organizational talent, Tuchel will also find these shining points of his. Therefore, Joe Cole advised Coach Tushuai to build a team around Mount, which is a more rational future plan.
As can be seen from Joe Cole's remarks, the star is not very satisfied with Chelsea's new signings this season, especially the performance of the German twin stars, which seems to be getting farther and farther away from the expected goals. Of course, Joe Cole can't make it too obvious, after all, he still wants to hang out in English football and can't offend such a big man as Abu, so the celebrity mentioned the fact that the Blues have overlapping player attributes in the frontcourt, Havertz, Ziyech and Pulisic, the four people are almost the same in terms of function, and Tuchel can only start two of them in each game, which causes the situation of "good players wasted on the bench".
The author also believes that these four people have some organizational ability, but none of them have Modric's ability to launch an attack, and they are also unable to reach the level of Neymar in terms of scheduling and tandem. They're all starting at a decent level, but none of their speeds seem to be strong enough, so they're playing a similar role on the pitch, which creates the problem of Chelsea's homogenization in attack. Without players with different styles, it is difficult for Tu Shuai to study other offensive routes. Therefore, the problem of overlapping player attributes in the Blues' frontcourt needs to be solved as soon as possible, whether in the league or in the Champions League, Stamford Bridge's offensive style needs to be variable.
