3 Reasons Why Messi To Chelsea Will Never Happen

3. Change the entire structure of the team

Accommodating Messi into the Chelsea team would be a huge ask, not only financially but also tactically. Chelsea play with one striker supported by wingers and Messi is the player who plays down the middle mostly for Barcelona. They do not rely completely on crosses but rather have some brilliant link up play between the 3 forwards, Messi, Suarez and Neymar. At Chelsea it is more of a 4-5-1 with Cesc Fabregas doing a lot of the hard work and playing his team mates in, be it Diego Costa or the wingers, Eden Hazard and Willian.

Messi prefers to play down the middle and bringing him into the Chelsea team would just disrupt the formation and would mean a lot of players would need to be shuffled about to accommodate the Argentine, that would be a very huge task for the Chelsea team, when something isn’t broken why try to fix it?
