Here’s my perfect Chelsea five-aside team. In truth, the team almost picked itself:
PETR CECH – Even with the silly helmet, Petr has to be the first name on the team sheet. As manager of this team, I’d just tell him to save shots and roll the ball out to…
ASHLEY COLE – Great reader of the game, has more than enough pace to cover breakaways, fitter than a butcher’s dog. All in all, he’s just a damned fine player, whether there are ten or twenty-two players on the pitch. That said, I would love to watch Alex play five-aside, just to see at close range the almighty hoof on him.
MICHAEL ESSIEN – Pretty much the perfect modern footballer. Is there anything he can’t do? Poach a mean egg, perhaps.
FLORENT MALOUDA – Deceptively powerful, supremely skilful, very quick, and a brilliant finisher. Next…
DIDIER DROGBA – How can I leave the Drog out? I can’t. He wouldn’t allow it.
That is one powerful mini Chelsea. But no JT and no Lampsy.
