Introduction to player performance

Spread westward from France to England

1992, claude makelele, 19 years old, started his career in Nantes. He played until 1997 and then moved to Marseille, but a year later Vigo Certa of La Liga called him in. His two-year outstanding performance touched Real Madrid, so from 2000 to 2003, he became the defensive backbone of the Galaxy battleship. Makelele finally decided to go to England because Chelsea promised him a first-team position and a high salary.

The road to football

My father began to train claude makelele to play football when he was four years old, because he was a player himself. Before retiring, he played for Irian in Belgian first division. 16 years old, Makelele left his hometown for the first time and came to brest Training Center in Brittany Peninsula. The training and life here are extremely boring, but when Sports director Badsky of Nantes Club found him, everything changed. Badsky thought he would become the "new Gillesey", so Makelele embarked on the road to success.

My value

In Real Madrid, Makelele is almost alone to protect the backyard for the frontcourt superstar, which is as important as casillas behind him. But Zidane and Ronnie were paid several times as much as him, and his dissatisfaction finally broke out. He repeatedly said, "I need to be treated according to my value." But real Madrid's high salary will only be given to those offensive players who are more likely to attract attention. When his reasonable request was ruthlessly rejected by Real Madrid, going to Chelsea became the only choice. Of course, at that time, everyone knew that Real Madrid was doing a loss-making business.

Score one point

Makelele, who plays defensive midfield, has never been isolated from goals, but there was a warm scene in the last round of the Premier League last season. Against Charlton, Chelsea, who had won the championship ahead of schedule, won a penalty in the 90th minute. His teammates asked Makelele to take the penalty to thank him for his defensive efforts for a season. The Frenchman never scored for Chelsea, and the penalty was poor. He was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, but fortunately he made up the shot himself, leaving no regrets in the end.

Makelele, who has a strong fighting capacity, joined from Real Madrid, greatly enhancing Chelsea's midfield interception. Claude Makelele and French compatriot Vieira belong to the same type of midfield, with comprehensive skills and the power to control the midfield. During his stay in Nantes, he won the French League title for the team and reached the semi-final of the Europa League with 1996. Then he went to Cerda in La Liga, and then to Real Madrid in 2000. During his three years at Real Madrid, he won two league titles and one European league title.
