Chelsea’s ambitions clear with Freund pending as DOF – Talk Chelsea

Chelsea look set to finish the signing of Christoph Freund from RB Salzburg as their new director of soccer (DOF).

I consider this can be a actual assertion of intent from the brand new homeowners, who’ve already gone via a summer season of huge adjustments on the membership since shopping for it at first of the summer season.

Todd Boehly and co may need made some choices that haven’t been the most well-liked, largely the sacking of Thomas Tuchel. However their intentions are clear, and that’s to construct a membership from high to backside who’re able to compete on the very high once more and succeed on all ranges. And in the event that they wish to get anyplace close to a membership equivalent to Manchester Metropolis, they’ve numerous work to do.

Mockingly, Erling Haaland, who’s scoring for enjoyable for Metropolis proper now, was a participant discovered by Freund at RB Salzburg, and he’s simply the tip of the iceberg of a few of the large abilities that the Austrian director is liable for discovering.

Another large abilities he discovered are Sadio Mane, Konrad Laimer, Dayot Upamecano, Karim Adeyemi, Marcel Sabitzer, Patson Daka, Naby Keita, Benjamin Sesko, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Enock Mwepu simply to call extra.

It’s clear that he’s the right type of DOF that Boehly is searching for, particularly the truth that he’s a eager consumer of information and video evaluation to scout gamers, one thing that the previous Chelsea regime didn’t achieve this a lot.

Freund is an actual innovator in his discipline and an skilled at what he does. That is nice information for Chelsea followers, who will be excited for this additional present of ambition from our new homeowners.
