Reece James’ loyalty, ‘Real, Barça, Bayern’ didn’t even pay attention
Reece James had no team on his mind but Chelsea.
Britain’s ’90min’ reported on the 19th (Korean time), “James had no intention of leaving Stamford Bridge despite interest from Real Madrid. Even when there were previous rumors of a transfer to Barcelona or Bayern Munich, it was highly unlikely that he would say goodbye to Chelsea.” It was reported that
James is a Chelsea ‘Sunggol Youth’. In the 2019-2020 season, immediately after being loaned to Wigan Athletic, manager Frank Lampard began to use James due to a ban on recruiting players in the Chelsea transfer market. Afterwards, he became the starting right back based on his vigorous activity and explosive kicks. Last season, he quickly signed a new six-year contract, showing that his feelings for Chelsea are sincere.
He is now the most senior player at Chelsea. Kepa Arrizabalaga and Callum Hudson-Odoi, who had previously registered with the first-team squad earlier than James, left the team on loan to Real and a transfer to Nottingham, respectively, making James the player who has played in the first-team the longest.
He also wore the captain’s armband. On the 10th of last month, James was appointed as Chelsea’s new captain. Just as John Terry became captain at the age of 23 in 2004, James also became the captain of the Chelsea team at the age of 23. At the time, he said, “Being Chelsea captain is a great honor and pride. I am truly grateful to everyone who has helped me so far. I will lead the team with all my might to return the trophy to Chelsea.”바카라사이트
That wasn’t a lie. James had never thought of any other club than Chelsea. According to a report by ’90min’, the team that wanted James is the team that all players envy. Real, Barcelona, and Bayern were the clubs that dominated Europe in the 2010s, and were nicknamed ‘Rebamun’ by domestic soccer fans and reigned as symbols of the strongest teams.
But for James, Chelsea was the best club. He has already proven his loyalty to Chelsea by renewing his contract and receiving the captain’s armband, and through this report, he has been reborn as a recognized ‘Blues’.
