“The day after I signed with Chelsea, I sent him him to see him as a midfield.”
After years of guessing and discussing the Stamford Bridge, whether the future of Reeca James lay in the middle of the park, it was supposed to be the new Chelsea Chelsea Enzo Marescu only 24 hours to start placing wheels last summer.
Argentine discovered his conversation earlier this month, more than half of the year after the fact, after starting in the motor room against Aston Villa, and then FC Copenhagen, lastly bring the target to show for it.
Captain Blues, only 25, filled in central and central midfield for Chelsea before and has long cemented its basic place, when it is suitable, as one of the best European and back in the entire back and back.
MARESCA may not be aware that this evolution has been propagated for some time. He didn’t even take his first coaching job when James first turned into midfielder in the middle season on a loan in Vigan, 2018/19, continues to win players and club players in his debut.
“The reason we moved for a little in that season was because he was outstanding in each position,” later-Latin manager Paul Cook later explained. “So we had what we felt was the terrain area, we can improve, whether it’s a central defense, whether it was a weaper or central midfielder, Rexece will go there and be our best player.”
Many players have made a move between midfielder and full back, but James is the latest in the increasing number that works the opposite. Trent Alexander-Arnold went to EURO 2024. Carrying any shirt, no more than a handful of Liverpool games from right back – but effectively acts as one in the game.
It gave James some soft launch and before this test with two games, with Maresca in a looked in the middle of the park in the middle of the park when his teams have a ball to help dominate ownership.
For flying full backs built on crosses can limit their game and long time James is well replied by that good. Even after half-season in the middle in the midfielder with the petal, cooking admitted that it would occur right back, in the end it will be his best position.
James now has no same great lightning speed. As many as six years, almost a third of the league begins all careers, during that spell in the championship, such was a violation of hell, which he had faced since, especially in the last three seasons.
But the necessity is the mother of all the invention. Maybe Marescu always saw this advancement back to the middle of the field as he said, but now the safe time is for it, even a purely pragmatic level.
While the Chelsea system requires a lot of its connecting players, does not require the intensity of running its full back and will probably prove more kindly in James’s body.
On the technical level there is a little question James that can do. He has all the attributes of the Astuten’s defense veower with his defend himself in one, and even in the middle of his injury to a witty man, City, Jeremi Dok called “One of the most difficult defenders I have ever played against” last season.
But his reputation as an attack with full back does not even have to spend. In 2021/22, last season in which more than half of Chelsea Premier League Games, he finished the Eighth and most of the final passes to 90 any player in division. If it can remain in shape, there is no reason that James cannot be shaped in a bond box, something is ready to have already recognized it for almost a year in northwest.
James looked like Leggi and rusted in Chelsea’s Chezon Villa, but it seemed missing the game time, not the match, not the one who lost his concentration, because he was twice as caught in dangerous moments in the fairy park.
The 25-year-old itself still feels that there is more to learn about returning in the links by saying recently: “I’m pretty used to the role and I will improve with the time.” It seems an inevitable next step as long as he can stay fit.
And there is the biggest question in Maresca’s lips. In a position where the main coach lacks depth, can he trust James to stay accordingly and help her give it?
