XABI ALONSO, CHELSEA'S SAVIOUR?

Xabi Alonso has been announced as the new manager of Chelsea Football club. Succeeding Liam Rosenior,he brings a vibe of experience and tactical masterclass. From his time in Germany and Spain,he has become one of the leading managers in this new generation. From having an illustrious career at Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen,he established himself as a midfield legend.

Alonso's appointment by Chelsea is a change of structure from its hierarchy, thus giving authority to Alonso as a manager rather than a head coach as that of his predecessors Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior. He comes in to control all transfer activities, making him able to buy his players needed for his tactical approach.

Alonso's has already begun work by bringing Italian prodigy Marco Palestra, a pacey right wing-back. He gives Alonso the opportunity to use him on the left or right side of defense. Alonso's transfer strategy is to bring squad dynamism by mixing experience with youth. This leaves fans wondering 🤔, who leaves?. 

There has been a lot of rumours about a number of outgoings at 

the club, but this is rather necessary because of Chelsea's financial imbalance. In all fans are going to experience a new wave of football at Stamford Bridge. In terms of transfers, Chelsea's main targets are said to be a centre-back, left-winger and midfielder,but these targets could change depending on what happens in the transfer window.

Xabi Alonso's decision to join Chelsea is also seen with skepticism.for instance, though he brought to Leverkusen in Germany, some critics hit on the fact of the lack of competitiveness in the German Bundesliga. Throughout the years The mighty Bayern Munchen has ruled that league for more than 20 years, with with other winners coming in short periods, making the German top flight,compared as feeble to that of his new job in the Premier League™. Also, after his success in Germany he had a horrendous homecoming with his former club Real Madrid. In Madrid, he failed to win a major trophy at the club and lost two Elclassicos. making his tenure one of the worst in the club's history.

This makes critics to question his appointment as a step up, or a disaster awaiting to happen.

Let's wait for the Premier League to start before we evaluate him.
