3 reasons why Hakim Ziyech will be a failure at Chelsea

#1 Chelsea’s current philosophy is the exact opposite of Ajax’s

The Moroccan is a system player and might struggle with Chelsea's current style of play

The world was sleeping on Ziyech until last season’s Champions League made sure everyone witnessed his true talents. The Moroccan and his teammates upset the odds and went all the way to the semi-final stage of the competition, even eliminating holders Real Madrid in the process.

For everyone who watched that Ajax team, it was obvious that they played with a clear system and pattern. Having played with each other for so long, the players have built telepathy and chemistry which are currently missing in many teams across Europe.

Moving from Ajax to Chelsea means Ziyech now needs to get himself used to another system of play. While the Dutch giants are set up to attack and attack, Lampard’s Chelsea are a totally different proposition. While the Blues do engage in a fair share of offensive play, they are not as fast on the counter-attack nor do they play through the channels like Ajax.

The football philosophy Lampard is currently overseeing at Chelsea is completely different from what Ziyech is used to at Ajax and that could hinder his success.
