Chelsea’s latest signing Oscar has told the press that he plans to speak to Roberto Di Matteo after the Olympics about his role in the squad and will be willing to play in any position to earn his opportunities on the field.
The Brazilian is currently on international duty at the London 2012 games but his signing was confirmed during the week and he will join Eden Hazard and Marko Marin in the Blues’ squad. He’s aware that there’s a lot of competition for places at the club after signings such as these and is willing to be flexible.
Oscar said:
“This is a dream for me. After the Olympics I am going to talk to the manager.
“I am ready to do whatever the manager wants me to do.
“For Internacional I played in several different positions, so I have no problem adapting.”
This is the sort of thing I like to hear from a young player. Oscar has been praised for his impressive displays for his country but isn’t getting caught up in his own hype and is respectful enough to know that he’s not going to be able to walk straight into his preferred position and will play elsewhere for the good of the team, unlike Daniel Sturridge, who seemed upset that he was not played at centre forward after he made a good start as a right-forward last season but there are those out there who would disagree on my assessment of the English forward (he’s a divisive player after all).
Oscar is also looking forward to settling in with the Brazilian contingent we already have at the club and believes he can win major honours playing for the reigning champions of Europe:
“I’m joining Chelsea hopefully to win more titles.
“The project is very exciting, especially with the young players that they are signing.
“The offer was very good for me and I didn’t have to think twice about signing.
“I am good friends with David Luiz, there’s also Ramires and Lucas Piazon at Chelsea, so they will help me adapt.”
The 20-year-old shone once again for Brazil as he made two assists in their 3-2 win over Egypt, although his first half was a lot better than his second as he faded away a little thereafter. You can see him in action for Brazil when they play against Belarus on Sunday at 3pm.
What do you make of Chelsea’s new signing and where do you think he’ll figure in Roberto Di Matteo’s plans?

He’s described as a typical number 10. And I will play him in that possition and thereby building the new chelsea around him. Mata nd hazard willbe on the wings with license to switch if need be .
if he can fix anywhere. chelsea’s line up should be:
cech
caser-luiz-cahill-cole
oscar-lampard
marin-mata-hazard
torres
dream on;
chelsea – ac milan 0-1 with almost the team you mention !
i am a chelsea fan, do not jump on me!!
I hope di matteo will go by this ramires lampard mata hazard oscar torres subs:marin for oscar ,sturridge for torres ,raul for lamps ,mikel for ramires
4-2-3-1 cech cesar luiz terry cole…………..mikel lampard……………..oscar mata hazard……………….el lino.(sub)mereiless for lampard…..ramiress for mata………marin for oscat
I think d formation should be 4 3 3.cech…ceasar…david luiz…j.t…cole…mikel….oscar…marin…hazard…mata…el nino.lamp is gettin olda so shoul come in as sub
Infact am so happy wif different choice of players in chelsea nw
If chelsea wonna attack RDM should go wit his usual 4 3 3
Cech
Ceazer ivanovich/luis cahill/J. T
Mikel/mierless
Ramiress./lampad. Oscar/Mata
Marin/sturridge Toress/piazon Hzard
If he wants to defend then his normal 4231
Cech
Ceazer ivanovich/luis cahill/J. T
Mikel mierless/lampad
Marin. Mata./oscar Hazad
Toress/sturridge
Chelsea dont play much of wing football. If Oscar choose to play any were i’ll try him as a RWF. My formation thus: 4-2-3-1.
Starting line up: (4)Ash cole, luis, cahill, ivanovic (2) mikel, ramires (3) hazard, mata, oscar (1) torres/sturidge. The above line up is for a match which pace is required. For a match which does not require much of pace, JT will start were luis is and lampard will start were ramires is.
