“Not a leader” – Marcel Desailly gives best verdict yet on problem Chelsea player | OneFootball

Former Chelsea centre back Marcel Desailly has given the best verdict yet on one current problem player at the club.

This news comes off the back of Chelsea beating Legia Warsaw 3-0 away from home in the first leg of the Conference League quarter finals on Thursday night in Poland to pretty much set them up for a place in the semi finals of the competition.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea ARE looking to sign a new goalkeeper this summer and have world class name on the table!! 👀

Chelsea were awful in the first half but superb in the second half after what you feel would have been some harsh words from boss Enzo Maresca. The Italian went on to admit to ‘falling in love’ with one of his players after the game due to his incredible performance.

And it was an incredible night to remember for another academy gem as well with Tyrique George grabbing his first ever senior goal for his boyhood club. What a moment.

Former Blue Marcel Desailly has been speaking on one current Chelsea player who is out on loan at AC Milan this season, Joao Felix, who has become a bit of a problem player not just at Chelsea, but at every club he’s been at throughout his career so far.

Desailly, who also played at AC Milan of course, has been speaking about his former club and Felix.

Speaking about Milan, Desailly said:

“I don’t think it’s an individual problem, because Milan have many good players who unfortunately just don’t complete each other.

“You see Rafael Leao, Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic, Santiago Gimenez, Tijjani Reijnders. All have quality, but no real leader, nobody who stands out. This is what Milan need.”

Joao Felix is a player with great talent, but he has still not found his place,” added Desailly.

“He’s been at Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, now Milan, without making any real impact. At this moment of his career, he needs a club with a clear philosophy that can build its project around him, put him at ease to express his potential that we still haven’t really seen. I would suggest Paris Saint-Germain.

“What Joao Felix lacks is not technique, but character. He is not a leader. At this moment, he is not what Milan need, because he lacks the mental strength to revive the Rossoneri. And vice versa.”
