Yeah, Chelsea did (and do) sit deep and play on the counter against the big sides. Credit where it's due they are very well drilled defensively. Kante was immense. And Fat Frank didn't think he was a holding midfielder!? But I take your point they are/were VERY defensive.
As for Mount, I can see his logic. They did just win the CL, and the European Champions do tend to be considered the best team in the world. Or at least the CL is the competition with the best teams in the world in it. But, yeah, they finished fourth and lost two of their final games to Leicester and Villa. Does that mean Villa, or whoever beats Chelsea next, can claim to be the best in the world.
Had City won, they could have claimed to be the best side in the world, and I would have struggled to make a decent argument against them. Chelsea on the other hand……..
Ronaldo back to Utd? Where is the logic there? The rumour is, he will be a swap for Pogba, I don't know if cash is involved too. That makes even less sense though. Utd need a CB, DCM, and right sided attacker. So swapping a midfielder for a LEFT sided attacker doesn't really seem like a good idea. Especially as the attacker is 36, will demand the team is built round him, will not work back under any circumstances, will demand to take (and miss) every free kick, and will want more than the 300kpw Pogba is on.
Getting rid of Pogba solves one problem. But bringing in Ronaldo in exchange creates two more. Utd will be left with a midfield for nxt season of Fred, McTom, Fernandez, Matic and Mata. AND they will have about 6 attacking players who like to play wide left.
Makes no sense. Given it's Utd…..watch it happen. Ronnie will probably get a 5 yr contract as well.
