Embracing brilliance while enduring decay. Discussing team rebuilding necessity.

Do you know what it means to rebuild a team? "Team rebuilding" is a term often encountered in the sports world, but what exactly does it entail, and why does a team need it? Today, I feel compelled to discuss this topic, primarily because traditional powerhouses like Arsenal have successfully undergone rebuilding, while teams like Chelsea find themselves in a quagmire. Manchester United seems to be in a perpetual state of rebuilding, and Liverpool managed to overhaul half their team in just one summer. Manchester City, with its aging core players, is also approaching a phase where rebuilding seems inevitable. I'm sure many of you are perplexed by this. Since every team is either rebuilding or on the brink of it, what exactly defines rebuilding? In my opinion, successful rebuilding means having at least six core players who can play for the team for at least five more years. Currently, only Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City meet this criterion, with Tottenham being a borderline case. Interestingly, these three teams are also title contenders.

On the flip side, Manchester United and Chelsea serve as prime examples of failed rebuilding efforts. United's focus on commercial aspects over sporting success has led to a decline in competitiveness, while Chelsea's lavish spending of €1 billion on rebuilding hasn't borne fruit. They still have numerous positions to fill, and many of the players they bought have either underperformed or failed to integrate into the team. Additionally, constant managerial changes and tactical instability have left Chelsea's young players confused and demoralized.

The term "rebuilding" seems almost magical, instilling hope in fans amidst turbulent times. However, as a Manchester United fan, I know all too well that "rebuilding" can be poisonous, often just creating an illusion of progress. Success in rebuilding is not guaranteed, especially when the management is performing poorly. Moreover, rebuilding often means relying on young players, who are inherently inconsistent. The mentality during rebuilding is also unstable, as one loss can lead to doubts about the team's direction. So, do teams really need to rebuild? The answer is yes. Players age, and building a team takes time. No one stays at their peak forever, and no one remains underestimated indefinitely. Therefore, rebuilding is necessary. Despite the emotional rollercoaster and uncertainty that come with rebuilding, enduring this phase can lead to glory in the future.

There's a saying I particularly like: "The faithful witness the twilight; if you weren't there for the team during its darkest hours, you don't deserve to celebrate its triumphs."

If a team doesn't rebuild, it can only stay in the mud.

Teams without major championships undergo rebuilding every year!

After all, players also age and retire, so there will always be a need for new blood and restructuring.

Teams with no achievements but high spending need to rebuild, primarily based on their performance.

Rebuilding a team feels quite serious indeed. Imagine if the team you're in needs rebuilding, you would feel quite insecure, as if you have to start over again.

Chelsea is indeed rubbish. Spent so much money and turned into a miserable mess...

I knew Chelsea would definitely make it onto the list!
