At a time when other Premier League giants are still tugging at their targets, Chelsea have efficiently completed the two-out and two-in transfer operation.

Kroos has been given additional leave approved by Jose Mourinho and will report at the Cobham training base at a later date.

Thiago Silva rushed directly to the training base to continue his treatment and rehabilitation.

Leon and Ibrahimovic met Silva at the training base that day.

In the future, Chelsea's Milan brothers should also change their name to the Milan Three Musketeers.

Leon was very happy with the arrival of his older brother Silva.

Some melon-eating fans may think that Thiago Silva, who will turn 30 years old in a few months, will not be able to play at a high level for a few years.

But Li Ang knows how strong his old brother is in terms of maintaining his form!

Li Ang can only sigh that the scene of Silva dragging the striker Bonella to turn the tide on the Milan back line is still vivid.

This ability is really unconvincing.

David Luiz is a good guy and a good teammate, but he can't get rid of his frizzy problems.

If he plays in midfield, then Leon and Nemanja Matic can still wipe his ass, but he's a centre-back himself, which is too fucked.

In recent years, the defensive tactics of three centre-backs have not yet become popular in football, and David Luiz is really not suitable for Chelsea's two-centre-back system.

So his move away is a good result for Chelsea and for himself

Thinking that the big brother combination in his own backline in the new season has become "Terry + brother-in-law", Li Ang doesn't want to mention how down-to-earth he is.

With the addition of Gary Cahill, Harry Maguire and Callas, Chelsea have a total of five players to rotate at centre-back for the new season, and the bench is completely thick.

If there is a real shortage of personnel, Branislav Ivanovic and Cesar Azpilicueta can still fill the central defensive position.

So don't talk about the three-line battle, even the fourth-line battle, Chelsea's defense can withstand it!

Maguire and Ake have seen their growth after playing more than 40 Championship games last season.

At their age, it's about playing more games to find out more about their problems and correct them as soon as possible.

It's hard to say what Ake will do for the new season, but Maguire won't be short of minutes for Chelsea.

After all, no matter how good and consistent Terry is, he is a year older, and Mourinho still wants to save a little bit of his use.

And Maguire's advantages in frontal interception and high-altitude ball defense are indeed very prominent.

For Chelsea's coaching staff, he can be a tactical complement at both ends of the pitch.

At left wing-back, Bertrand has become a thunderous starter for Chelsea.

Although Mourinho will definitely arrange for him to play in the Premier League and Champions League first, the FA Cup and EFL Cup games are basically played by Ashley Cole and Ake.

But with Ashley Cole in good health, Ake still can't compete with Ashley Cole today.

Fortunately, Ake is only 19 years old now, so he is relatively young, and it is very young to continue to go out on loan for a year or two before returning to Chelsea.

Ashley Cole is basically leaving the team to find a retirement team after playing at Chelsea this season, so Ake has plenty of opportunities to perform at Chelsea in the future.

Jose Mourinho is still optimistic about his development prospects, and high-quality left wing-backs in football today are really becoming more and more scarce.

If a first-class left-back in the Premier League can be cultivated, then Chelsea will be equivalent to acquiring a young reinforcement worth 40 million.

Ake, who has been recognized and comforted by the coaching staff, has also worked very hard to show himself in the training base during this time.

But he was still a little too immature after all.

Underpinned by his defence, Mohamed Salah has been back at Chelsea with Harry Maguire this season to the fullest extent in attack.

It's the same as Eden Hazard, who only moved to Chelsea in the first place.

Salah, who is accustomed to enjoying the treatment of the offensive core in the original team and is completely a core style of play, has more or less some minor problems with football.

I don't look at people much with the ball, and there are many problems with being too sticky.

But his impact on the flanks is so strong that Hazard may not be as fast as him if he were to look at his speed.

This is exactly the tactical quality that Chelsea lacked on the right flank last season.

After all, neither De Bruyne nor Azpilicueta is the kind of flank assault maniac with exploding physical talent.

Last season, Chelsea's right flank was very consistent, both offensively and defensively.

Jose Mourinho is very fond of De Bruyne, who has been integrated into the Chelsea system.

However, after witnessing De Bruyne's full performance and growth in a season, Mourinho is also more determined to let De Bruyne further grow and transform in midfield.

Kevin De Bruyne can play as a right winger and is also a threat up front.

But Mourinho has always felt that keeping De Bruyne on the right winger would be a waste of his talent.

And last season Chelsea relied too heavily on Eden Hazard for local raids.

Playing like this for a season or two may not be much of a problem, but with an attacking tactical focus on one side of the road, Chelsea's tactical dilemma will soon set in.

Let's not talk about the Champions League, let's just talk about the Premier League where Chelsea is based.

Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, who also have a thirst for the Premier League title, will not let Chelsea's lame attacking tactics go untargeted.

Mohamed Salah's recent performances on the training pitch have made up for Chelsea's shortcomings on the right flank.

His slight playing problems are not a big deal in Mourinho's eyes.

As a young man, the first thing to do is this talent and drive, and the problem can be solved little by little in the long season.

And, looking at Salah's tactical attitude towards Leon on the training pitch, Mourinho doesn't think the Egyptian lad will be a problem within the Chelsea team.

If you are willing to be obedient, then everything is easy to say, and if you are willing to listen to Leon, then Mourinho feels that Salah has taken a wide path at Chelsea.

Since 16 July, Chelsea have played four warm-up matches against a lower league side in England and a 'traditional powerhouse' in the Slovenian league.

None of the opponents were strong, and Chelsea went straight to a fourth straight win in the warm-up game with a rotation of substitutes and young players.

These games don't have much reference value, it's purely Mourinho grinding the newcomers.

Kroos, who has reported to the Cobham training base at the end of the holiday, has yet to make a single appearance for Chelsea.

Or that the players of the first team who played in the World Cup this summer have not yet appeared in the warm-up games.

Their tactical training programme is also gradual, not that Mourinho is too careful about their fitness.

But when the substitute players enhance their tacit understanding and play more warm-up games, their main players will slowly adjust their physical condition and carry out devil physical training!

After losing to Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, Jose Mourinho was able to accept the result with reason.

But for the physical disparity between his own team and Bayern Munich, Mourinho still cares very much!

Previously, when he was coaching Real Madrid, it was always other teams who were trained by Real Madrid.

Bayern and Borussia Dortmund can run a lot in the 2013 season, but when they meet the desperate Real Madrid, the Bundesliga duo are still not opponents!

Jose Mourinho doesn't like to suffer such losses, so now the veterans in the Chelsea team are counted, and the younger players have to pull up the physical intensity!

Pintus is still at Real Madrid, and Mourinho can't force the cut.

However, it is no problem to ask Pintus to help online and assist Ruiz remotely in the analysis of the player's situation and the development of training plans.

Kroos has already experienced high-intensity physical training at Bayern, so his adaptability has been good.

But the few young players who returned to the team this season were miserable.

On the first day of the official start of the team's devil's physical training, Li Ang witnessed the tragic situation of Maguire and Salah being trained to vomit.

It's the first time they've been trained with such intensity, and these young lads are certainly not used to it.

However, after the first day of physical training, in order to calm the frustration of his young teammates.

Li Ang once again told the story of Guo Feng being practiced by the Pintus boss in less than half an hour.

This is a comparison.

Originally, Maguire and the others still felt that they were in poor physical fitness.

But when I thought of Real Madrid's main center, superstar Benzema seemed to be inferior to them, and the hearts of the boys were immediately balanced.

Of course, the psychological problem is temporarily solved, and the next day it is time to practice.

A week later, the main players of the Chelsea first team, who had become accustomed to this intensity of training, also enjoyed their friendly before the start of the new season.

It was also the first time that Leon and them had collectively appeared in anticipation of Chelsea fans after a break of more than two months.

Eredivisie side Vitesse host a challenge from their main Chelsea players at their home turf.

Kroos wore the No. 8 shirt left by Oscar in this warm-up game, and partnered with Leon to control the middle of the midfield.

Nemanja Matic remains in the starting midfield.

At the back: Bertrand, John Terry, Thiago Silva and Branislav Ivanovic starting the game.

Starting goalkeeper Petr Cech.

On the forward line, the trident combination of Hazard, Ibrahimovic and De Bruyne also took the lead.

Cesar Azpilicueta had some muscle discomfort before the game, so he was on the bench for this game, with young players such as Mohamed Salah and Harry Maguire also on the bench.

There were a number of English journalists on the sidelines, who were excited to take pictures of the Chelsea players who started on the pitch.

If nothing else, Chelsea's main squad for the new season will be the same as the current starting line-up.

Maybe in individual positions, Mourinho will consider and adjust at that time, but the starting formation of 433 should be determined.

At present, the mainstream playing style of the giant teams in European football is changing from 4231 and 442 to 433.

This is the general trend, even if Mourinho likes the defensive solid 4231, he must keep up with the rhythm of the times and reuse the starting formation of 433, which is more able to occupy the offensive initiative.

In this warm-up game, Chelsea also fully achieved the tactical goal of controlling the situation in the midfield and suppressing Vitesse's continuous active attack.

After all, Chelsea's squad has not changed much, and the core players have been working together well enough last season.

Plus Kroos and Thiago Silva have been able to integrate into the team system very quickly.

So rather than a warm-up game of tactical experimentation, Chelsea's prowess quickly turned the game into a one-sided slaughter.

Tevez simply lost 6-0 at home!

However, their fans could still see it, watching Chelsea score crazy goals throughout the game, and the applause from the audience was no less.

After the 60th minute of the second half, Mourinho waved his hand and directly chose a lineup change.

Salah, who replaced De Bruyne as a right winger, played quite well.

When he came on the field, he just punched and lunged!

Together with Romelu Lukaku on the left, he broke down Vitesse's defence directly in the second half.

Jose Mourinho and the Chelsea coaching staff were very happy with the result of the warm-up game.

Three days later, Chelsea, who arrived in Germany, played a friendly match against Werder Bremen, a traditional powerhouse in the Bundesliga.

Kevin De Bruyne's return to his former loan spell was also cheered on by the local fans during the game.

However, this kid didn't take much care of his old teammates, and used the luxurious statistics of three passes and one shot to help Chelsea win another 5-0 friendly match!

With two consecutive friendlies and 11 goals scored but never conceded, Chelsea's firepower immediately attracted the attention of the mainstream sports media in Europe.

And Kroos also used his stable performance to initially brush a wave of impressions in front of many Premier League fans.

Veteran fans who are accustomed to watching the game certainly know what it means that Kroos achieved 90% pass success in both friendlies.

Younger fans just think Kroos is good and consistent with his passing.

It was Nemanja Matic who was in the limelight on the defensive end, and it was Leon who was more active in attack.

They don't have a very deep understanding of Kroos' tactical value.

But it doesn't matter, when the new Premier League season starts, they will know how important it is to have Kroos who can free up Leon on the playmaking side.

On 10 August, Chelsea returned to London for a friendly against La Liga side Real Sociedad.

In this game, Chelsea changed their style of play again, and once again used the starting formation of 4231.

Jose Mourinho seemed to want to test his team's quality at the back, using two completely different sets of defence in the second half.

Chelsea eventually won 2-1 at home to Real Sociedad, with Harry Maguire netting a fine header from a corner in the second half of the friendly.

Chelsea fans were impressed by his huge head.

And after this game, Chelsea officially announced a blockbuster transfer news.

Centre forward Didier Drogba, who currently plays for Turkish giants Galatasaray, returns to Stamford Bridge on loan!

Blues fans watched the news and immediately fell into a carnival!

Chelsea, who have brought in strong reinforcements, also welcomed back their legend at this moment.

This summer window, Chelsea have silently announced to the world with a surprise transfer:

In the new season, they have big ambitions, and this time, they want to win them all!
