da heads bet： It would not have come as a surprise to many when Gary Cahill was officially named the new Chelsea captain on Wednesday.
da bwin： The defender was the firm favourite for the armband after it was vacated by stalwart John Terry, who has begun a new chapter of his career at Aston Villa.
Chelsea made the announcement via their official website, and also confirmed that Cesar Azpilicueta has been appointed vice-captain.
The pair played alongside one another in Antonio Conte’s back three last season, and they will hope to repeat their Premier League title-winning success.
Cahill faced criticism from some fans during the campaign for his performances, despite regularly being tasked to marshall the defence.
A number of supporters are unhappy that the England international has been selected to lead their team.
After the club announced the news on Twitter, some fans reacted by claiming that David Luiz and Azpilicueta were more deserving of the armband.
