Very few will be able to forget the fusion of strength and
skill Didier Drogba has displayed in his career at Chelsea FC. He joined the
club in 2004. It did not take him long to become a known face of the field. The
supporters of Chelsea were delighted to discover a center forward with ball
following ability and near perfect finish. Drogba did not disappoint his fans.
He did his job fairly well and continued scoring goals. In return the supports
voted his as the greatest ever player of Chelsea.
However, like every good thing the career of Drogba at
Chelsea has also come to an end. Currently the striker is playing for Shanghai Shenhua. Without the strength of
Drogba the attacking line of Chelsea appeared to be weak. Many thought with
fright that the loss will never be recovered.
Former coach
Mourinho expressed his concern over Drogba transfer and said that the life
after the striker’s departure will be tough for the club.
Despite the
speculations, the club has shown both strength and determination to stay at the
top no matter what. The team has been adorned with fresh talents. Victor Moses is one of the new faces of the
club. This winger has drawn the attention of the crowd with his speed. With
this 21 year old in the team, there will be many surprises stored for the
oppositions.
Cesar Azpilicueta is
another new addition to the club. This right back has suffered a steady stream
of injuries at the beginning of his career. Yet, he recovered and proved his
worth in the field. And now this 22 year old is a part one of the greatest
clubs of EPL.
This young Brazilian
is a vital addition to the team. The attacking midfielder is known as Oscar to
his fans. He looks a bit like Kaka and plays a lot like him too. The soccer
skill of this midfielder has given rise to many comparisons with the fellow
teammate. Like a true Brazilian, this youngster has displayed the ability to
pass the ball to the teammates along with a perfect vision. His shots are not
only powerful, they are accurate too. Oscar is undoubtedly a midfielder to
watch out for.
Thorgan Hazard used
to play for FC Lens. This 19 year old can both play as a winger and a
midfielder. Currently he is on loan and playing for Zulte Waregem. It will be
interesting to watch his return to the club.
Eden Hazard is the
big brother of Thorgan. Like the younger brother Eden also plays as both winger
and attacking midfielder. This young talent is well known for his speed. He
also considered to be a creative midfielder. His pace is his greatest asset.
But, he can change a game with his ability to dribble a ball. His fierce
attacking can be a nightmare for opposition’s defense lineup. The soccer skill
of this young Belgian has led to comparisons with the soccer giants like Lionel
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The
above mentioned names are all new signings of the club. Whether the new talents
live up to the expectations of the supporters will be a thing to watch. Players
like Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and John Terry are there and still in good
form. Yet, it is important to cultivate new talents and create stars which
Chelsea has done too many times in the past.
