At the beginning of the season, the editor did not have a very good impression of Blues centre-back Malang Sarr, and in the first game against Brentford, Marang Sal's performance in dealing with positional warfare was acceptable; but when faced with high balls, it would appear panicked, making the defense a hole. Recently, however, his performance has silenced critics, proving that he does have the ability to be a substitute for Antonio Rudiger.
Maran Saar, 23, joined Chelsea as early as last summer when he and OGC Nice made a free date for the Blues. However, in last season, Chelsea, who played in a double-centre-back formation, had a lot of talent in the center-back position, with Thiago Silva and Kurt Zuma (who has left) being Lampard's first choice; behind them were Christensen, Antonio Rudiger, Fikayo Tomori and other international-level defenders, so that Marand Sal could only lend the form and transfer to Portuguese Super League giants Porto. In Portugal, Maran Sal's performance was not very good, and he was always placed in the youth team in the middle and late part of the season, obviously not meeting the requirements of the team.
In this season, he was retained by Thomas Tuchel not because of his outstanding performances, but because there was no team to match his salary requirements; coupled with the failure to buy Jule Comte, he was forced to stay in the Blues. In the warm-up match, Marang Sal's performance was hellish, and the mistakes against Tottenham hotspur disappointed the fans and did not expect anything from his stay.
However, Thomas Tuchel has always been willing to give good players a chance to play, and Marang Sal has become the main force of the team in the League Cup, playing every minute of five games; in the Premier League match against Brentford, he also got his first chance in the Premier League, but the performance was not outstanding, and the performance was only decent. But in the League Cup, Marang Saar's performance seems to be getting better and better, from facing Villa, Southampton, Brentford; to facing Tottenham, Marang Saar's performance has also improved with the strength of the opponent. In the two-legged match against Tottenham, Marang Sal performed well both at centre-back and left-back; in the first leg, Kane was well-appointed to lead the "triple kill" to Spurs. (Now four kills)
With serious injury problems at the back of the team, Marang Sal has a rare success in taking the big flag, getting starting opportunities in Premier League games against Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, and playing as a left-back. Marang Sal's strength lies in his ability to defend and fill in positions; at full-backs he is more able to protect his lack of air superiority; and he also has good control passing skills, so that his appearance on the left side is an unexpected, but surprisingly good decision.
In the case of Ben Chilwell's "finale", it is believed that Maran Saar will become one of the Solutions to the Blues' left-side problem; all because it is a bit too risky to rely on Robert F. Kennedy, the Brazilian can gain time in the Cup, slowly establish a tacit understanding with his teammates, adapt to the formation, and share the physical burden of Maran Saar and Marcos Alonso; but it is a bit difficult for him to play in the big game immediately. I believe that the Blues fans are quite satisfied with the performance of this "pseudo-Kante" (the appearance of the two is really a bit similar), and hope that the French centre-back can play better and better, becoming behind Antonio Rudiger; or a strong substitute on the left side.
