Pat Nevin criticizes the management of Chelsea after Tod Boehly took over Stamford Bridge, succeeding Roman Abramovich. Nevin believes that under the new ownership, Chelsea's team is much weaker than it was a few years ago.
"Chelsea are almost unrecognizable compared to the club it was two years ago. It's not just the players, but the overall vision. The age of the players, the lack of big stars, even the atmosphere in the stadium, just everything. In the Premier League, you can't just bring in a group of young players with no experience. It's madness, regardless of the billion spent, they simply don't matter," Nevin said.
"Do they look close to the top four? No! Chelsea looks like a team developed by an algorithm. This looks good, that too, and the next one too, but the collective doesn

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has shared his opinion on the speculation surrounding central forward Erling Haaland, which links him to Real Madrid. Similar information has emerged in the Spanish media, and Pep clarified what's happening with the Norwegian international.
"You should ask the media in Madrid if he's unhappy. Perhaps they have more information than we do. We don't have the feeling that he's unhappy. He was because he couldn't play, he was injured for two months, but maybe the media in Spain, especially in Madrid, have more information than us," Guardiola commented.
"We can't control what people say, but the important thing is that he is happy. When he's not happy, he'll make his decision," the Spanish coach added.

During the first half of the season, Marquinhos was loaned to Nantes in Ligue 1, where he gained valuable experience. However, he will once again play briefly for another team before returning to Arsenal.
Despite many still believing in Marquinhos' potential at the club, the current set of players means it will be difficult for him to secure regular playing time, something the youngster needs. Corinthians are currently monitoring
