How can just one International Friendly have the major tabloids make stories over a certain incident. While Radamel Falcao’s goal six minutes after the restart at half time meant Columbia beat an inspired Begium side by 2-0, current Chelsea Manager being in the stands fueled the fire amidst widespread speculation that the Monaco striker might be off to Chelsea come next summer.
One being asked what he made of Mourinho being on the stands, Falcao promptly replied, “‘He came here to see good football, played by good players and to see a good spectacle,’ said Falcao. I hope to make a good impression on him in the match. ‘Would I like to play in the Premier League? It’s one of the most important leagues in the world.’
According to the Metro, Mourinho was linked with a swoop for Falcao during his time at Real Madrid, moreover Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is known to be a long-term admirer of the mesmerizing striker.
However when Mourinho was asked the reason for his trip, he professionally replied, “To see my players. For a friendly, it was a very good game.”
While it seems more than clear that Chelsea are certainly on the lookout for a new striker in the coming January Transfer Window, can Falcao be their man to inspire them to the Premiership glory if at all we imagine the Blues snapping up the Colombian come new year in January. While there is no doubt that Falcao would be more than an excellent strike up front given the plethora of midfielders he would have behind him linking up, but would he suit into the Premier League or whether the transition would take some time to materialize?
He has all the pace, trickery, blitzkreig shots in his boots, and certainly is better than Torres or Eto and Ba that Chelsea have in their attacking flair at this current moment. Whether or not the deal goes through, Falcao is certainly a game changer, make no second thought, he might be the perfect ploy as far as Chelsea’s title aspirations are concerned.
