Being the defending champions, this season has been one of the worst in recent history. The fans have seen their favourite manager getting sacked and have seen their side lying in the bottom of the table.
Chelsea have no chance of a silverware after getting dumped out of every competition and the highest the team can dream of is a Europa League spot. That is also very difficult and most probably there will be no European matches next season at Stamford Bridge.
So what if the players changed their routine and get together to play five-a-side game? Who all will take a place out of the talented bunch? Let’s take a look at the best possible five a side team from Chelsea:
1. Thibaut Courtois:
A goalkeeper is not a must in a five a side game, but having one guarantees some defensive stability in the side. Courtois being one of the best goal keeper in the league, it will be good to have him to stop some goals leaking in.
2. Cesar Azpilicueta:
Solid as a rock at all times. He will be handy in the team with his pace and his tough tackling. He is a player who does the simple things well, he and Courtois will do the defensive work and will support the attacking talent ahead.
3. Eden Hazard:
Though this has been the worst season in Hazard’s career, it can’t be denied that when on song, he can be a real menace to the opposition. With all his trickery and goalscoring ability, the Belgian will be the most important member of the five a side team.
4. Willian:
The ultimate workhorse. His work rate is second to none and will be needed for both his defensive and attacking talent. And five a side game will be incomplete without some Brazilian samba.
5. Diego Costa:
Every team needs a bulldozer type of player who can rile up the opponents and can work his team to a victory. Costa guarantees goals and fights; both that happen a lot in five a side games.
