Chelsea legend coach Frank Lampard appeared as a ‘surprise firefighter’, but rather than putting out the fire, he is raising it.
Chelsea suffered another defeat on the 15th (Korean time)스포츠토토. This time, he was caught by Brighton in the master bedroom.
Chelsea continues to fall without brakes. It is a draw (2 draws and 3 losses) in the last 5 games in the English Premier League (EPL). Including the European Champions League (UCL), they fell into a swamp of three consecutive losses.
But that doesn’t mean Chelsea spend less money. After the owner Todd Boelli took over Chelsea, he spared no major investment, such as breaking the EPL’s highest transfer fee in the winter transfer market last summer and January this year.
But it shows no signs of reviving. Thomas Tuchel and Graham Porter, only two command towers have changed.
Against Brighton, he once again wrote a history of disgrace. Football finance expert Kieran Maguire revealed on his SNS on the 16th that ‘Chelsea made the most expensive substitution in world football history against Brighton’.
Lampard put in Enzo Fernandez, Cristian Pulisic, Raheem Sterling and Wesley Popana at the same time in the 12th minute of the second half. The combined transfer fee for the four players is a whopping 281.5 million pounds (approximately 457 billion won). A ransom of close to 500 billion won was spent on a single change.
Chelsea invested 107 million pounds (approximately 174 billion won), the highest transfer fee in EPL history, in the signing of Benfica’s Fernandes in January. In addition, Fopana recorded a transfer fee of 70 million pounds (approximately 114 billion won), Pulisic 57 million pounds (approximately 92 billion won), and Sterling 47.5 million pounds (approximately 77 billion won).
However, Chelsea lost 1-2 to Brighton even after they were put in. Fans are just outraged.
