That would be awesome. Both Spanish. Both 1.78 m. Both have first names starting with a C. Just need to take out his barber.

Wow I never thought Puyol was so "small". I knew he wasnt tall either, but thought he is at least 182+...

He always looked very big for his size. And had good jump on him. 

IMO phyisicaly Azpi will never get close to Puyol, but yeah he could develop his defensive awarness even further, making him world class defender (if he isnt already)

Puyol was indeed blessed with stupendous athleticism and power (not to underrate Cesar in those areas). But they both share that wonderful aggression and determination.

maybe if azpi works on the bench press every day, Puyol's chest was pretty immense

Hats off till azpi he's done a great job in his new role in the team and he just gets on with the job seem like he would play any position for chelsea players like that are keepers remember gallas a few years back throw dolls outta the pram cause he wasn't playing in his right position under Mourinho Azpilicueta is going to be the new Mr Chelsea when Legendary JT leaves his throne has Mr Chelsea.

Im bumping this thread and mentioning this guy because today he did a lot of fucking brilliant donkey work. He tracked, he covered and he just did everything to an absolute rule.

I said months ago we need the balance of right foot on right, and a left footer on the left to give a balance and fluency to this team....We have got it now.

I'm most amazed to see Azpi there! 

 

I was too. Azpi is essentially playing three positions - CB, FB and DM. When we defend he covers the central to right area wherever he is needed, so a full-back and central defender in one. When we attack he pushes up from the defensive line to bridge the gap where a defensive midfielder would normally operate, recycling and helping retain possession, keeping things nice and tidy while our two b2b midfielders go forward. He is our organizer, I believe he is key to making things work so efficiently at the back. His passing numbers show that he is the focal point of building play from the back and making sure the ball keeps circulating until it reaches the dangerous areas.

I thought he was absolutely amazing today. Probably his best performance for Chelsea and that says a lot.

[Captain Ahmed 528]

1,78 m!

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

The change in formation and personnel means we now have the fastest backline we've had in a very long time. A welcome change from Ivanovic and it hurts to say, JT. The recovery is great. One of the reasons why teams are struggling to get in behind our backline.
