Liam Rosenior explained the origin story of his football philosophy when he recalled how his dad, Leroy, played out-from-the-back tactics with Torquay United in League Two back in the early 2000s, before it was cool – “a style of football I still believe in,” Rosenior said.
This is the promise he has made to Chelsea fans. “I want us to play high-tempo, aggressive, front-foot football,” Rosenior said in his first interview with the club. “I want the fans at home to be off their seat in the first 10 minutes and feel like it’s wave after wave.”
