This player not only burned down the entire right flank of the defense, but in General all flank, as an essential support for the offensive line. And how many important goals after corner kicks, he scored - the mind boggles. At a certain point championship of the season, Ivanovic has scored more often Rooney.
But Jose Mourinho is known for his love of squeezing of the players high. This time he went too far, throwing for the current year disabled team with the destroyed ridge, which is defense. Questions from she did not is only Cesar Azpilicueta, but the rest obviously time to exit.
1. Branislav Ivanovic, right flank. Became one of the worst players in the club this season, becoming the cause of many stupid goals against the aristocrats. Age and fatigue have taken their toll: now the Serbs are not only unable effectively and securely connect to attacks, but also to effectively work on his straight football field, in defense. Adequate change for him yet - except the already mentioned and praised Azpilicueta, but then his place on the left will have to put Abdul Rahman Babu, the purchase of which still no one understood.
2. Gary Cahill, the Central area. When it 6 years ago was discharged from Bolton, then still played in the Premier League, he was strong and reliable defender who regularly saves the outsider from a devastating defeat. After the transition it is, of course, could not immediately stake a claim for a place in the first team, but he was always just a substitute. Now 30, he is a player start and the club and national team, but it is connected only with lack of worthy candidates. Cahill was slow and clumsy, but was never able to become the leader and the receiver of the captain's armband.
3. John Terry, the Central area. The latest legend of the club after the departure of Lampard, Drogba and Cech too soon leaves the team because Abramovich never offers John a new contract. Even though it is immoral, but from the practical point of view, it is logical. Captain long doesn't seem like a level of at least a good Oboronna, though, and retained all of the inherent leadership and charisma. If he wants to play and benefit your loved Chelsea - the output is clear, though sad.
The club has already bought a youngster from America, which no one can name, and is ready to dump bags of money for John Sconza. Will they become the new Bastion of defense "blue", once the strongest in England?
