After a 4-0 win over Espanyol, Real Madrid won La Liga four rounds ahead of schedule. Just as the fans rejoiced, another piece of good news came out: according to the latest report from the authoritative media "Sky Sports", Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti asked to sign Chelsea defender Rees James by name. After the media reported, Premier League fans sighed: Lampard's vision is really accurate. In order to reuse the loan to play in the Championship, Reese James did not hesitate to push the captain Azpilicueta to the bench, and now even Real Madrid is hungry!
It all started three years ago. At that time, Chelsea's youngster Reese James, who was loaned to Championship side Wigan Athletic, returned to Stamford Bridge after the end of the season. Seeing that the 20-year-old was selected for the Championship team of the season and played the back with a good effect, Lampard, who is the Chelsea manager, intends to focus on training. To this end, he resolutely leased Zapa Costa in the same position. This decision caused great controversy at the time. After all, reese James at the time not only lacked experience in the Premier League but also had injuries. More importantly, Chelsea are facing a transfer ban, and there is no time to send out the immediate battle!
In hindsight, Lampard's eyes were shining. After a brief recovery period, injured Reese James made his Chelsea debut in the League Cup against Grimsby. With a big heart, he scored a pass in the game to help Chelsea win easily. Seeing this, Lampard strengthened his determination to reuse Reese James. Just seven days later, the Chelsea Wings made their Champions League debut. Facing Ligue 1 powerhouse Lille, Reese James once again performed well. In the subsequent Champions League group stage against Ajax, his goal helped Chelsea draw toughly. Such a good performance allowed Rees James to gradually sit in the main force, and Azpilicueta in the same position became his substitute.
After last season's experience, Reese James' main position is more stable. In return for coach Frank Lampard, he not only repeatedly defused dangerous situations on the defensive end, but also often destroyed the city on the offensive end. For a long time, Reece James topped Chelsea's top scorers list, and front-line teammates such as Giroud and Tammy Abraham were left behind by him. As many Premier League fans have teased, Chelsea relies on him to drive "reverse".
With Lampard out of school, Tuchel became Chelsea's new manager. In germany's three-centre-back system, Reece James needs to compete with Hudson-Odoi and Azpilicueta for the job. Although the playing time has decreased as a result, the performance of the Chelsea Flying Wing is still remarkable. Seeing Reese James' defensive potential in particular, Tuchel switched to playing right centre-back. It was this bold attempt that made Rees James a Chelsea backfield: full-back, centre-back and back.
Seeing that Rees James performed so bravely, Real Madrid moved his mind. Think about it, full-backs on both sides have become a big problem for Real Madrid. Especially on the right, Carvajal, who is increasingly injured, is simply a break, and the substitute Vazquez is not ideal at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. To this end, Zidane and Carlo Ancelotti kept trying to make cameos from other players, and Real Madrid players including Valverde tried it again and again. In the end, it turned out that none of them worked. Because of this, real Madrid management intends to take advantage of the summer window to strengthen the right-back.
According to the latest report from Sky Sports, Ancelotti, who has just led Real Madrid to the title, has asked to sign Rees James, who is both offensive and defensive. It is worth mentioning that Reese James liked the social media status of Real Madrid's victory, which was regarded as a positive signal by many media. Coupled with the super high operational ability of Real Madrid president Florentino, it is still very promising to facilitate the transaction.
