Florent Malouda poised to join Indian Super League side Delhi Dynamos

[Soul Caliber X 27]

Florent malouda will play for Delhi dynamos this season in the Indian super league.

[Tomo 21,751]

Is his new team connected to West Brom? His name kept coming up on the advertising hoardings.

^ Same. Spent most of the last 5 minutes wondering why "Delhi Dynamos welcomes Malouda #WelcomeMalouda" was flashing on the advertising displays.

Edit - Apparently some cross promotion thing between WBA and DD - https://www.quora.com/Why-was-an-advertisement-for-the-Delhi-Dynamos-ISL-team-flashing-during-the-Manchester-City-vs-West-Brom-match-on-August-11-2015

Interview: Florent Malouda

This Sunday is now named 'interviews with the Chelsea legends' day!

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/interview-florent-malouda

 

We had an exclusive interview (through our man Darko) out with former Chelsea cult hero Ramires today that’s now out on the home page. And although this one is not our exclusive, we now have an interview in full with another hero of the stands at Stamford Bridge, Florent Malouda!

Florent Malouda: Chelsea are ‘paying the price’ with injuries, Garnacho could replicate Palmer impact with Blues and Isak will harm Ekitike’s development

Chelsea are paying the price for injury problems after Club World Cup

“I think that was almost expected because even during the Club World Cup, you had players complaining about the schedule and about the fact that there was almost no recovery after the season.

“The Chelsea team performed well at the tournament, but now they are paying the price.

“This is where the depth of your squad is tested. So we also have to take into consideration the fact that there's going to be a World Cup next year. So for all international players, it will be challenging, a long, exhausting season.

“They must look after themselves, and they must accept also not to play every game to be able to lead the team to trophies, because competition is getting higher, intensity of the game is getting higher and you're always at risk to lose your key players for a lot of games.”

Chelsea’s other players need to step up and match Cole Palmer’s level

“Cole Palmer is the key player. He has proven he has the shoulders for this. Now it's about building his physique to play every game. Every time he's fit, he's an impact player with a big impact on positive results. We definitely need him.

“With Champions League and international football, there will be high demand and strain on him. Other players need to step up and match his level so danger can come from everywhere.

“When we play a team, they almost always try to block Cole Palmer and his impact on the result.”

Enzo Maresca needs to be careful with Cole Palmer and managing his minutes

“Enzo Maresca needs to be very careful with Cole Palmer and I think he is careful with the way he manages him, but you must play your best players. Obviously, Cole Palmer is young, but in the manager's position, you want results.

“It's not like you have time and you can spare a few games here and there. You need to have your best players, and sometimes your best players are not in their best physical form, but they still have an impact on the team. So he manages him well.

“I think he will try to give him some rest. There's a World Cup coming, but the priority is to perform for the club.”

Alejandro Garnacho could follow the Cole Palmer trajectory but he has to deliver unlike Jadon Sancho

“Alejandro Garnacho has talent and could follow the Cole Palmer trajectory, he even has a similar price tag. It's about delivering, unlike Jadon Sancho who wasn't able to show his talent and make a difference. What you expect from a player like Garnacho is how he's able to be consistent in performance and have an impact.

“For me, it also comes with personal ambition. It's a done deal, but it shouldn't be seen as an escape from Manchester United. His ambition should be to become a world-class player at a top football club like Chelsea.

“That's the kind of mindset we expect from him, and of course, being an impact on the offensive part of Chelsea's game.”

Hugo Ekitike’s experience at PSG will help him compete with Alexander Isak

“Will Alexander Isak impact the development of Hugo Ekitike? Yes, but great players adapt all the time. You have to renew yourself. You have to almost develop a toolbox.

“There's always your favorite position, but in modern football, you also have the defensive part of the game where you need to be involved. That doesn't stop you from being at your best level. Especially with young players, that's what's difficult to get, you need to give to the team first.

“It doesn't matter the position. Then, with the relationship you create with the players around you, you will get the chances to score back because he's a natural goal scorer.

“He's a real threat, and he has this experience at PSG with a lot of stars, so he knows how to navigate in a dressing room full of stars. But his main thing is he wants to be on the pitch, he wants to improve his stats, deliver, and answer to the expectations around him.”

Hugo Ekitike has his own style - he’s not similar to Thierry Henry

“Does Hugo Ekitike remind me of Thierry Henry? No, I think he has his own style. Comparing him to past players doesn't help him. He's a tall, fast player and a threat in front of goal, capable of making a big difference on his own.

“He's not the type of player who depends on a particular style of play, he can make a difference independently. That's what's good about young players like him – they're fearless and confident enough to unbalance any defensive system. So that's a good option to have. The difference is always consistency.

“When you mention a player like Frank Lampard for example, you know he's going to score 20 goals every season, no question. So it's about how a young player with a price tag like this transitions into a world-class player who consistently scores 20-plus goals in the Premier League.”
