迪西里 : 艾巴對足球的熱情可稱瘋狂!
迪西里認為 : 人們不應再說艾巴只付出金錢, 他是一個完全的球迷。當我在車路士做隊長的時候, 我與他談論過足球, 他說生活的原因是為足球。
無任務商業合約能帶給他如球隊進軍歐聯準決定或有球員攻入絕殺般的快樂。
他是一個球隊支持者, 這是我專重他的原因。他擁有著熱情, 他愛車路士。球隊就像他的酒窖, 他能夠令酒窖充滿不同的酒是因為他有錢, 就如他為車路士帶來費托一樣。
對安察洛提被炒我十分驚訝. 但你永不知道之後發生甚麼事情。艾巴永遠喜歡作出一些賭博性的決定, 如炒摩連奴一樣。
Somewhere on the road that has led Chelsea to search for their seventh manager in eight seasons, scepticism has emerged over the influence of Russian owner Roman Abramovich at Stamford Bridge.
Any individual who bankrolls a team for nigh on £1billion could never be described as having a negative impact but there is a growing sense that the Russian's heavy involvement in team affairs is not always healthy.
Because Abramovich shies away from publicity, there is always speculation, the consensus of which declares that the seemingly abrupt decisions made at Stamford Bridge in the last few months have had impatience at their core.
Rumours persist about Abramovich's desperation to win the Champions League that conjure images of a man used to getting everything stomping petulantly around the boardroom sacking his underlings through frustration.
Marcel Desailly insists such a depiction is inaccurate. The 42-year-old former France international spent six years at Chelsea, the last of which was the first in the Abramovich era.
As captain of the club and an icon of the game following Champions League success with Marseille and AC Milan, which preceded World Cup and European Championship glory at international level, Desailly regularly held counsel with Abramovich as he settled in west London.
Desailly left the club in 2004 but remains in touch and insists that the notion Abramovich would ever do anything detrimental to the club's long-term interests is unfounded.
"People should stop saying Abramovich just splashes the money," Desailly told Standard Sport. "He loves football. I was captain when he was there and I would discuss football with him. He would tell me football is the reason of life.
"There is no business contract that can give him the feeling of being in the semi-final of the Champions League or when one of his players scores in the last minute to make him win the game.
"The feeling he has the day afterwards, money cannot give him that. We would not discuss culture or politics but his English was not very good back then. A translator would be in the room but he was a normal guy. For us, we were amazed to see how straight forward he was.
"He is a supporter and that is why I respect the guy. He has the passion and loves the team. The club is like a wine cellar where he moves the bottles because he has the money. He takes a player like Fernando Torres and he is like a very nice wine. He hopes when he is going to open it, it is going to be very good.
"I was surprised Carlo Ancelotti was sacked but you don't know what is going on. He was having conversations with people at the club and giving too many excuses for what happened last season for a club that really want to win with a very passionate chairman.
"He is not obsessed with the Champions League. He is calm. The people around him are nervous - the marketing side of the club is not as big as it should be for a club like Chelsea. But Roman is cool. He is happy to make decisions and take gambles. There was life after Jose Mourinho, there will be life after Ancelotti."
Dutchman Guus Hiddink is expected to be appointed as manager next week with the task of quenching Abramovich's thirst for success. The portents are promising, given the healthy relationship that exists with both owner and players after a successful three-month spell in which he delivered the FA Cup.
Desailly himself revealed he is taking his coaching badges and would consider a return to Chelsea as coach - but only at youth level.
"I am doing my badges because I feel there is a real potential for me to get a job," he said. "I almost got the Ghana job but there was a delay, some complications.
"But I don't feel I would get the return if I was a coach in the Premier League, I don't feel I would be transmitting anything to the guys - I would rather train kids."
