Eden Azar competing with Kane, De Hea, Kandé for the best player of the last three years in the Premier League is good enough to do it all. In almost every game his performances are impressive while the last two months the equation was simple: if Azar is strong, Chelsea wins! As the British point out, playing Azar as a "liar" is like using a Ming jar to put markers and pencils there.
The Belgian is not completely confused by the role, but tends to reduce his ability to get the ball deeper and cause cracks in the opponent's defense. Of course, at the moment he is the most dangerous striker of the Blues, since Morata is one foot out of Stamford Bridge, while Zirou remains… plan B. This was the biggest change in the short tenure of Mauricio Sari at Stamford Bridge, more important also from the changes of the midfielders, where Cande is now box to box and Zorginio is a playmaker.
We are used to Premier League coaches giving weight to great forwards, Tottenham to Kane, Liverpool to Salah, City to Aguero. Thus, moving the best player to an unknown and unpleasant position is brave. He had also played with Conte last year as a "pseudo-nine" against Brighton (4-0), but it was a temporary measure and not designed to stay. Team ζε shouted for a purebred forward who would replace Moratas.
Higuain has repeatedly played for the Blues and is now highly likely to reach London from Milan. There are many questions about Argentina's transfer to Blue! We can assume that Azar would be very pleased with this move. He prefers to play left and right on the pivot and create. In October the Belgian had sent Zirou away, sending a message to Sari that he wanted a strong shot at attacking the team.
At Ethniki she enjoys collaborating with Loukakou! When Chelsea acquired Surrey, they committed themselves to a long-term plan because the Blue were fascinated by Italian philosophy. Having taken over the Londoners, she began to shape her team and her style to match her beliefs.
In attack, the philosophy includes the quick one - two in the passes in the last third of the field that pulls out the defenders. It takes them out of position, creates spaces and so with a fast movement it enters a phase. Napoli of 2015-2016 with Higuain finished 2nd behind Juventus and got 82 points. But Sari evolved the team after the sale of Argentina to Juventus.
In 2017/18, Napoli reached 92 points in the league. He had Insigne, Cayejon and Mertens on the attack. The production of football aggressively was terrible. It is not difficult to see that Hazard at Chelsea is that it was Mertens at Napoli who had 61 goals in the league and several assists in the last two seasons with Sari. Despite the doubts that have existed about his role since joining Chelsea, Azar has made a double double in goals and assists even while we are in the middle of January. Interestingly, none of the eight midfielders or forwards who had played 35 or more games in all competitions for Napoli in 2017-2018 was tall.
The other big teams with such records are City and Liverpool. It is the offensive tactic that is based on possession and movement of the ball over fitness and strength. The front six with Cande, Zorzinho, Kovacic, Willian, Pedro and Azar does not exceed 175 cm. The move with Higuain in this aggressive logic of Sari may be a little strange. It is estimated that the Italian will slightly differentiate his tactics for Argentina, while he himself said that it was not his choice to sign Pulisic.
Real is very interested in Azar, while the Blues on the other hand want to keep the Belgian until June, considering that it is in the interest of Sari and the team. Chelsea, from the moment they believe and trust Sari's game vision and plan, should continue to act accordingly, regardless of the faces.
