What Should Todd Boehly and Thomas Tuchel Do..?

The era of Roman Abramovich is over, now is the era of Todd Boehly. When Manchester City have brought in Erling Haaland, Liverpool have brought in Darwin Nunez, so what should Chelsea do?

Of course, there are a lot of things that need to be done if you don't want to just watch Manchester City and Liverpool compete next season, it's interesting to see the policy path of the new American owner who is said to be only business.

Whether Chelsea is no longer buying players on a large scale like the era of Roman Abramovich, the most important thing now is that Thomas Tuchel is again believed by the club to immediately act to formulate new strengths for an exciting next season.

In formulating the Chelsea squad for next season, Tuchel would have to talk face-to-face with Chelsea officials, including the new owner, what the owner has outlined for Chelsea next season, trying to pursue the title with additional ammunition for fresh funds, or just telling Tuchel to maintain the performance of his squad while dismantling. -install the squad for business purposes to keep the club competing with Manchester City and Liverpool next season.

However this is Todd Boehly's first job as owner and should be able to convince Chelsea fans that he is not what many people imagine, Todd Boehly as owner must realize that in order to survive in the race for the title he must pay attention to several aspects.

One of the aspects of the transfer may also be that it must be precise in appointing technical and sporting directors, whether it is staying with the entourage of Marina Granovskaia, Peter Cech, Bruce Buck, David Barnard or looking for a new one.

Todd Boehly who has believed in keeping Tuchel should repay that trust with financial support to fulfill Tuchel's request, however Tuchel, who only joined in January 2021 until now has only one purchase, namely Romero Lukaku.

This is the time Tuchel must be given full power in determining the new squad that will be built next season, really now is the right time for Tuchel to formulate Chelsea with his wishes. Tuchel realized with a squad like this season Chelsea failed to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool, Tuchel must immediately submit a proposal how he will play next season only after that Tuchel submitted a proposal for players or which posts to improve.

How Tuchel will play next season of course many people can already guess, Tuchel if he already has his own flagship patent format, namely the three-back format with a 3-4-2-1, 3-5-2, or 3-4-3 formation variant. However, it is possible that Tuchel realized the lack of that format this season and changed it with another variant format, namely the back four.

Regardless of whether it's suitable to use three defenders or four defenders, of course Tuchel really knows the condition of his team best, everyone can guess the advantages and disadvantages of that format but the most important thing now is that Tuchel must be confident in using it and prepare various scenarios that must be used. run next season.

Seeing the needs of the Tuchel team with a three-back or four-back format, they had to spend at least three to five new players to stay competitive with Manchester City and Liverpool. Considering that Chelsea recently released Christensen Drink Water and Rudiger, for that Tuchel had to start from the back line.

Where we know the back line or team balance that made Tuchel successful in winning the Champions League in his first season since his arrival, the balance of the team with three defenders formulated by Tuchel has now been reduced in personnel. Besides Christensen who was terminated, Rudiger who moved to Madrid, Chelsea now only has Thiago Silva, Trevoh Chalobah, and Malang Sarr as center defender.

If Tuchel sticks with the 3-defense format, it means at least they have to bring in another 2/3 center back, considering Thiago Silva is already decrepit in his age, while young Malang Sarr can't be expected to be consistent every week in a tight competition. On the other hand, Chelsea's strength at full-back position is also a problem after the existence of Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta is also questioned, some rumors say that both will leave Stamford Bridge, even if one is maintained it may only be a layer considering his age is also not young anymore.

Practically only Reece James on the right, and even then if not offered by Madrid and Ben Chilwell on the left who don't know what his performance will be like after a long injury. There is a lot of work to be done in Chelsea's defense next season, so one of Tuchel's hopes for next season is to target defenders such as Konde, Guardiola, Kimpembe and Coulibaly.

At full-back, James and Chilwell like CaBoth Ilum James Hudson-Odoi and Emerson, who returned from loan spells, are also still in doubt, with Chelsea eyeing the best alternative left-back.

After the defense problem is solved, one thing must also pay attention to the midfield needs a refresh in midfield because Chelsea can't always rely on Kante, Jorginho or Kovacic. With the return of Conor John Gallagher it might be a solution, but that's not enough at least Chelsea need to bring in another new pivot otherwise Tuchel might be able to change his strategy so the opponent doesn't easily read the movements of the pilots.

On the front lines, Chelsea actually need not worry, names like Hakim Ziyech, Kai Lukas Havertz, Timo Werner can be an option, but the problem is whether they can show the best performance. Last season, Romero Lukaku, who came to answer the needs of a striker, made the Blues' front line blunt.

Next season Romero Lukaku is reportedly not going to be with Chelsea again, the Belgian striker is no longer at home at Chelsea and this could be a surefire step to let him go to get better. Why not, releasing Romero Lukaku and bringing in a new pure striker, could be an option or Tuchel could also apply the false nine scheme with Werner or Havertz.

Another option is to bring in new players other than a striker, rumors are Chelsea are eyeing Ousmane Dembele, Dembele's arrival is an alternative option to enrich the attack variant from the wing. Some tasks must be completed by Chelsea if they are to become serious challengers to Manchester City and Liverpool, but Chelsea are still comfortable in third place or occasionally want to try the rigors of the Europa League to finish the unfinished work.
