It’s disgusting,” Lovren stated in an interview with Egyptian outlet <a href="https://www.winwin.com/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%AE%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B1/%D9%84%D9%88%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%86-%D9%84%D9%80-winwin-%D8%B4%D8%AE%D8%B5-%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%AD%D8%AF-%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%B1%D8%AD%D9%8A%D9%84-%D9%85%D8%AD%D9%85%D8%AF-%D8%B5%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AD-%D8%B9%D9%86-%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%81%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%88%D9%84#:~:text=It%27s%20not%20harsh,better%2C%20you%20guys">WinWin</a>.</p><p>“Why didn’t they talk about him like this for the past eight or nine years? Okay, one season, and then he’s the target again… Some pundits do it just to attract attention, maybe because they haven’t succeeded in other areas of their lives, so now they need to perform well.”</p><p>The Croatian center-back singled out Sky Sports pundit and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, accusing him of lacking the bravery to deliver his critiques in person. Lovren revealed that he, too, had been on the receiving end of Carragher’s sharp tongue during his time in England.</p><p>“Especially Carragher, he says whatever he wants,” Lovren added. “I always said he should tell him this to his face, say all these things to Mo to his face. He’ll never say that, because I know he never will, because he never said it to me.</p><p>“He’s talked badly about me too, but he never said that to me anyway.

</div><p>There is talent everywhere, yet not always enough clarity. Alonso’s job will be to turn a collection of expensive players into a proper team with structure, identity and consistency.</p><p>A new centre-back feels important because Chelsea still need more defensive authority.</p><p>Central midfield is another obvious area, especially if Alonso wants more control and tactical intelligence in build-up.</p><p>Left wing is also interesting, with several attackers facing uncertain futures and the club still searching for the right balance in the final third.</p><section class="more-stories std-mgn-b">
