Live broadcast, August 10, after Rees James was confirmed as Chelsea’s new captain, he sat down and wrote an affectionate letter to “six-year-old himself, he described his past at Chelsea.
Dear, six-year-old Rees:
I have something to share with you. It is very big and a dream. You may not believe it very much. There are still many things to do and many experiences to shape you.
But you are already on the way. Just stick to it, stay focused, work hard, and do what dad told you. He is doing the best thing…… Even if you don’t feel like it. It is very important to practice in the park with Josh and Lauren every day and enjoy it.
You are already a Chelsea player, and I know what this means to you, which is why you bought workout devices for the course on Friday night. You have such pride. You want to defend this team logo. As you get older, there are already bags after bags of equipment at home. However, you will still buy more. You are a little fascinated.
Be sure to thank mom. She will not only work overtime, but also accompany you to train, compete and go away. She will always be there. She will help you become the person you want to be, others will not get this support, they will not succeed, and you will want to make her and her family proud.
This is not always that easy, and some people will not understand this. They will only see Rees James, Chelsea players…… Oh, yes, you will be a first team player. In fact, there is more than that. I will try my best to do it.
Painful lessons and mistakes, you need these, which is why I won’t tell you what to avoid. But when you are in high school, think about what you are eating and you will eat what they eat like your friends, but it is impossible, and dad will tell you.
This will not help. This will bring challenges. Chelsea will have some players who play well, they can get the contract, it won’t be that simple for you, work hard and do more things, O’Brien will help you, he is a good man, and you will get the contract.
But you won’t be a forward, you won’t be the next Drogba, you will learn how to play right-back…… But you won’t like it. In fact, you will hate it, you will feel lonely on the court, you will feel that you have not got the ball, and you will feel depressed.
Be patient, listen to the voices of people around you, do this job, one day, it will become meaningful, right-back is your position, once you realize this, there will be no turning back, before the age of 18, you are the winner. In the 2017 Youth FA Cup and the 2018 Youth FA Cup, you will be the captain of the team for the second time and raise the trophy on Arsenal’s court, which is a special feeling.
Then you come to Wigan-at some point it is worth visiting there-you will be far away from home and live alone, family and friends will come to visit you, but you will grow up quickly.
That club means a lot to you, even after you leave, people, supporters, coaches, players, atmosphere, you will fight against relegation most of the season, but everyone will be together, everyone will be happy, this is a suitable team.
Paul Cook will wear the skipper’s armband of the last match of the season for you. A loaned person becomes the captain. You know, it is an honor, something that will stay with you, perfect farewell.
Let’s talk about Chelsea-I have to prepare you. When you get the first team opportunity and the opportunity you desire, the coach is Lampard, yes, that Frank Lampard, on the 8th, the legend of Chelsea.
He will give you trust, encouragement, support, he will wait for you to get well, he will bring you the first team debut: at home, that is a great feeling.
Family and friends will be there, as will 40000 Chelsea fans, and the music will ring…… You will walk out of the tunnel…… At that moment……
You dream of your debut and force yourself to make it possible, but then it will enter the working mode: passing, running and stopping the opponent’s winger, with about eight minutes left, you shoot from the edge of the penalty area, you can see, it’s worth it, I promise you.
Oh, I have to tell you about Ajax, crazy competition, unbelievable, wild celebration, this is a night, you will love it.
Life changes because of you. You are no longer simple Rees-James. You are Rees-James, people will recognize you, the media will report you, let your attention focus on football, family, friends, they will always be there, they will be in Porto……
Now the meaning of this word is different, it’s a night, it’s a moment, people remember our scene in Porto, let me explain…
No one predicted that Chelsea would enter Europe Champion Series final in 2021. you would be in the position of a side guard. The opponent was Manchester City. They were the biggest favorites. Anyway, it would not interfere with you.
You will be a little nervous, that is natural, you know the reality: Some players play the final and then never get close to the trophy, but when you invest in the match, these tensions will disappear.
You will see Mount find Harvard. When he passes the goalkeeper, the time will slow down at that moment, then the ball hits ball net when it hits bellow, and the forward ball ends at half time, which is perfect.
However, in the second half, Manchester City put pressure on it. You will look at your watch. There are still three or ten minutes left, 20 minutes left, 10 minutes left, 5 minutes, almost.
At the last moment, the ball fell to the foot of rimahres. I can’t explain how you will feel when his shot flies to our goal, but you will see… luck will be on our side. Then, Chelsea: won the Champions League again.
You become the European champion at the age of 21, enjoy yourself and share this moment with your family-they have helped you do this and they are very proud.
More trophies will come and enjoy this. These are all memories that you need to create hard and sacrifice. You will find that football can also be cruel, it can pull you down to the peak.
2022 World Cup, you will feel ready, you will be in good condition, you will definitely be on the plane, but with a twist on your right knee, everything will change, to be honest, you will work very hard and force yourself to finish the rehabilitation training. You are almost there and you will feel as if you can leave.
But Southgate will feel too risky-you will respect this decision. Moreover, to be honest, after eight weeks of absence, he defended mbampe in the quarter-finals of the World Cup…… This is not what you want.
Injuries are part of football, which will make you very difficult. They will follow you six months after your 23rd birthday. You will recover, come back, and then train, this is spiritual consumption, which will be one of the most difficult moments in your career, but you know who will be here to help you, and you know who will make you stand up.
Are you ready to reveal it now? The dream I mentioned at the beginning, at this time you have done a lot of things and celebrated a lot of success, but this time is different, how can it be the same?
At the age of 23, you will be appointed captain Chelsea. I can’t write the following things, but one thing to know……
No matter what dream you have, it can be realized.
Good luck!
Rhys
