A Chelsea legend has reportedly criticised the defensive system put in place by Xabi Alonso. According to Globo, this club figure is said to have declared: "Não gosto nada", which means "I don't like it at all". The Spanish coach, who recently arrived, is said to have left doubt hanging over his choices, particularly in defence, according to ElDesmarque.
Furthermore, Estêvão, Chelsea's Brazilian forward, has reportedly spoken out about his lack of playing time. According to Trivela, he is said to be focused "on what he can control" to earn his place. The arrival of Morgan Rogers is said to have reduced his opportunities in the Premier League, reports the Brazilian outlet. The player has not started a single league match this season, notes the Evening Standard.
Finally, TEAMtalk reports that a consultant has advised Chelsea to sign a Leeds player, presented as an upgrade on a starter often fielded out of position.
