Chelsea have improved significantly in midfield and attack under new manager Rosenior. The strikers have been more active than under Enzo Maresca and the midfield has become more compact. Instead of using Reece James in the midfield, he has been forced to play in his proper position, FULLBACK, and Rosenior has given his pupil Andre Santos a new and improved form to significantly strengthen the team's midfield.

Chelsea's midfield has always been led by the best players in the world, such as Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo, but when Enzo Fernandez was in attack, Caicedo often found himself in a bit of trouble. The problem was solved by new coach Liam Rosenior, who asked his student Andre Santos and Caicedo to play as a Double Pivot, and Caicedo to help the team's defense. Andre Santos played his best as the coach said, and Chelsea's midfield has become stronger than before. In addition, Romeo Lavia, who has been out for a while due to injury, has also recovered from his injury and is training with the team again, so he will be able to play soon.

Young player Seeugo will also be able to play in February, so Chelsea's midfield will be quite strong. It remains to be seen how strong Chelsea's midfield will be with high-quality young players like Andre Santos, Lavia, and Seeugo , led by Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo. Liam Rosenior has handled Andre Santos well, and it remains to be seen whether he can handle Lavia and Seeugo comfortably. Thank you to everyone who read this to the end.
