Cuadrado Can Still Star For Chelsea

Cuadrado Can Come Good Juan Cuadrado has not been great for Chelsea so far. This is undeniable. But before being declared one of the worst Chelsea players ever (after 6 months?! Really?), maybe its time to take a step back and look at what the situation was like when he joined. Cuadrado joined at the end of January, at a time when the whole team was becoming more functional after a mesmerizing first half of the season. The scope for experimentation was reduced as many of the key players of the first half of the season were performing at around 60-70% of their capacity (probably even less in the cases of Oscar and Fabregas) and the defense was key in the second half of the season. It was always unlikely that Cuadrado would become a key player in such a situation as the demands of the Premier League are so much greater than those of Serie A. There is such a vast difference in the pace of the game in the two leagues that there is bound to be a period of adjustment (to emphasize this point, just look at how brilliant Salah was at Fiorentina compared to how ineffective he was at Chelsea). Mourinho himself does not like taking too many risks and favours a certain style of play which does take some getting used to as Hazard himself found out. Cuadrado was one of the best players at the World Cup and by all accounts was pretty good at the Copa America as well. He is fast and flexible and can change direction quickly. He needs to bulk up a bit like Hazard and I don't see why he cannot have an impact this season. But yeah, this season is a big one for him as its do or die now. A little while ago, someone in the mailbox questioned why Mourinho was not getting as much criticism for Cuadrado as Van Gaal was getting for Di Maria. The main reason for that is that Di Maria was actually brilliant when he joined. He was regularly scoring and assisting in the first few months of the season. He had been a key part of a Champions league winning team, playing a decisive role in the final. He had been a key part of a world cup finalist. Then Van Gaal began shifting him around. He tried to make ADM play like Robben at the World Cup, a job he was unsuited to and then randomly seemed to move him where he felt like. Can you blame Di Maria for underperforming when each role would probably have new responsibilities and would take time to get use to?
