🚨🚨MAXENCE LACROIX NO HYPE ANALYSIS : Maxence Lacroix’s profile is defined more by his defending than his ball playing.
He is an experienced Premier League proven player, quick over long distances, comfortable defending in wide areas, and in the box, patient in 1v1 situations, and proactive when stepping out to intercept passes before attacks develop.
The numbers reflect that profile. Last season he recorded 61 interceptions, 159 recoveries, 181 aerial duels won, and won over 61% of his aerial duels, while maintaining an 88% pass accuracy.
Rather than relying on last ditch tackles, he uses his pace, positioning and timing to recover possession and defend space effectively.
Those attributes make him well suited to teams that defend with a high line and leave space behind like Chelsea.
Is he enough to fix Chelsea’s defensive problems?

John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho formed the central defensive partnership that set the record of conceding only 15 goals during the 2004–05
Levi Colwil and Maxence Lacroix are about to play under a coach that went on an invincible 51-game unbeaten season 🔥
🌶️🌶️Hot take: If Aston Villa wants Jackson it should be on a permanent deal.
That should not mean we are stuck with Delap, Emegha and Dastan Satpaev as backups for Joao Pedro.
That said, Sell Delap, send Emegha and Dastan Satpaev on loan.
Then bring in one of Victor Osimhen, Julian Alvarez or Dusan Vlahovic as strike partner for Joao Pedro.
We will instantly become title contenders.
🚨🚨 DONE DEAL: You’ve probably seen all the comps since Morgan Rogers signed for Chelsea.
But how does he actually fit into Xabi Alonso’s system?
Rogers is a player with wicked finishing qualities. gives Chelsea something they lacked for long periods last season: a powerful ball carrier who can eliminate defenders without relying on intricate combinations.
Under Xabi Alonso, that profile is invaluable.
Alonso’s attacking midfielders and inside forwards (At Leverkusen and Real Madrid) were expected to receive between the lines, turn under pressure and drive at retreating defences before releasing the final pass or attacking the box themselves.
That’s where Rogers thrives.
He can play as the left-sided No. 10/inside forward from the left, or even behind the striker. His ability to carry the ball through midfield forces defenders to step out, creating space for teammates like Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernández and João Pedro to exploit.
He’s not replacing Cole Palmer.
Hes stepping in from the LHS (with Jamie Gittens as his backup) since Garnacho is expected to be out.
For the first time in a while, Chelsea have another attacker capable of progressing the ball 30–40 metres on his own and turning defensive situations into attacking ones.
That’s the tactical value of Morgan Rogers, he is not just another forward, but another way for Chelsea to break teams down.

Jude Bellingham thought he could pick on Valentin Barco for some reason.
He was met with a good old shove backwards before his team mates stepped in. Barco showing he won’t be bullied by anyone.
🚨 XABI ALONSO KNEW ENZO FERNÁNDEZ WAS NON-NEGOTIABLE 🚨
One of Xabi Alonso’s first decisions at Chelsea wasn’t about signing a player.
It was making sure Enzo Fernández stayed.
The reason has nothing to do with reputation.
It’s production.
Last season, Enzo finished with 14 goals and 6 assists from midfield numbers very few central midfielders in Europe can match.
Then he did it again yesterday.
Argentina needed someone to break the deadlock against England in the World Cup semi-final.
Enzo scored.
Chelsea fans have seen this story before.
When the game is drifting away, Enzo has a habit of pulling his team back into it.
Goals against top opposition.
Big performances in decisive moments.
That’s become a pattern, not a coincidence.
Now imagine those qualities in a Xabi Alonso system.
At Leverkusen, Granit Xhaka was the heartbeat of every attack.
At Chelsea, Xabi inherits a midfielder who controls games and regularly decides them.
That’s why Enzo was never a player Xabi wanted to replace.
He was the first player worth building around.
