Chelsea’s ageing squad needs revamping : Jose Mourinho and the triumphant return to Stamford Bridge, Carlo Ancelotti left in the shadows last night. What are your thoughts on the game?
Ancelotti was left to look weak, impotent and uninspired. I would say in his defense that you can only work with the players available and last night showed that this Chelsea team, which is declining, probably since before Mourinho left, needs to be shaken up.
Mourinho has signed four players from participating in the highest degree last summer, and Diego Milito and Samuel Eto’o, Lucio and Wesley Sneijder. They influenced the game last night. Similarly need to address the Chelsea ranks. The big question is whether Roman Abramovich is ready to provide the funds needed to change things this summer.
What does the future hold for the Chelsea manager? Nothing will happen until the end of the season. Chelsea could still win the Premier League. If you can not truly claim to Ancelotti, he has made real progress, because Chelsea have not won in the league since 2006. If they do not, and will be his job at risk.
Nothing is guaranteed. If Ancelotti players were more severe for the title was sewn up. Only a few of the results over Chelsea in the dirty part and the brilliance of Rooney kept United in the race.
Abramovich still has the desire to inject £ 150m plus Chelsea may want to challenge for the Champions League?
It will not be £ 150m – that he could possibly find £ 50m. Chelsea’s big goal is to become self-financing, which has become closer, after it lost £ 140m per year. Abramovich said that if there was a special player that Chelsea would not want to give up the money, but even if you sign Sergio Aguero or Franck Ribery, who will not only lead to paper over the cracks. Some painful decisions to be made great on the formation of the rest of thesquad.
Joe Cole and Michael Ballack out of contract at the end of the season. John Obi Mikel, Nicolas Anelka and the poor in last night, and Ricardo Carvalho does not work, and he was not a great season. Has just got a year left on his contract. It may have had the most interesting is what Chelsea will do with theseplayers, who had been replaced.
Is part of this problem that is still mainly Mourinho’s team?
Chelsea still have the same players as they did then. Players only was he did not sign Anelka, who had a game the poor, and Yuri Zhirkov, who is just returning from injury, Ross Turnbull, who will not be played but for injury, Branislav Ivanovic, who was one of Chelsea’s bestplayers this season. The backbone of the aging of Petr Cech, John Terry, Michael Essien and Didier Drogba and all the players and Mourinho has been there up to eight years. Terry seemed, if not very old, it is surely making headway in the last few years, which is a matter of concern not only for Chelsea but, too.
How will that affect the impact of the defeat of Chelsea in this season?
Would be difficult for Chelsea to take, not least because of the identity of the Conqueror. I almost felt that some Chelsea players have been intimidated by the presence of Mourinho too. His legacy will take a long time. It is still able to recover and perform well in the title race against the opposition because they have a modest military force to win the match. Drogba, as good as any striker in the Premiership and scored the can for the fun of the poor against the teams. They have to go to Old Trafford, but Liverpool will not have to win this match to win the title. That will be decided how the fare against modest opponents.
Abramovich will be regretting the departure of Mourinho this morning?
I am not sure of the owners of billions of dollars to have any regrets. While Mourinho is very talented and incredibly charismatic, you have to deal with reality. And the relationship between him and Abramovich had broken down and become irreparable. Someone had to go and it would not be President. Mourinho said on Monday only regret is that Chelsea did not leave sooner. Even when many ofthe Chelsea fans will wish he was still their manager this morning, that was not a realistic option.
