Impressed with him! Can't wait to see more

I want to see this match! So much excitement and I'm going to miss it :cry:

Google Translate at it's finest: Roberto Di Matteo speaks very rarely. But the Italian coach has agreed to break the silence to France Football. He was speaking at his home in London, evoking feelings of many themes. "There have been contacts with PSG," he says in particular. Here are some additional excerpts. "Roberto, within a year, we will see you on a bench? Yeah, I really do. I'm ready, I'm ready. For a good project. Did you cry when you were relieved of your duties at Chelsea on November 21, 2012? This is a personal question that I do not want to answer. You might as successful if you had stayed at the head Team? I really think so. Yes, yes. I am convinced. I was convinced that changing the type of game would have borne fruit. But it became very difficult to work for a coach. Coaches remain in place very shortly: a season, eighteen months.This is an exception to successfully stay three years in a club. How would you describe Roman Abramovich? Beyond football, the boss is a nice person with whom you can be good. The boss is basically a good person, beyond everything. I am in no way angry against the boss. The summer of 2011, I told him that the C1 is win. When we won it, I reminded him to Munich (where the final) . "Both games models for me, compared to my way of seeing football is our success at Tottenham (4-2, 20 October 2012) and Arsenal (2-1, Sept. 29, 2012)"Abramovich he thanked you in the locker room after the coronation in Munich against Bayern (1-1, 4-3 on pens)? He was very happy with everyone. It was a historic night for Chelsea. The first time the club won the C1, that with this victory we qualified for the Champions League next season.Much has been partying. You drank vodka or champagne that night? Neither one nor the other. I do not drink champagne. I remember very well have drunk wine, Tignanello. This will be a pride for life have been the first Chelsea coach to win the C1 with this club? Absolutely, yes. It will always remain in the club's history. And that no one remove. I'm proud of what I did at Chelsea, footprint I left with people, tifosi, the club, some players. Your victory against Napoli in the second round back in 2012 C1 (4-1 aet), after losing 3-1 in the first leg does not match the reference for you as a coach? Grinta incredible, total football! Not. Both models match for me, compared to my way of seeing football is our success at Tottenham (4-2, 20 October 2012) and Arsenal (2-1, 29 September 2012). At the Emirates, had controlled the game with the three amigos, Mata, Hazard, Oscar. The previous season, I took the team in March, there was no time to implement new things. "The rebirth of the three-man defense, it's an interesting thing"You think being an offensive coach? Oh. Unfortunately, people have focused on two or three of our matches (semi-final against Barcelona C1 and the final against Bayern, ed) . Is there something tactical and you look forward to? In recent years, there has been the revival of the three-man defense, it's an interesting thing. We must wait for confirmation as to whether it can be a winning system at the highest international level. Juve just won two Scudetti on with this device, even if it had started with four men behind in 2011. Naples also plays with a three-man defense. Is Mazzarri and continue to Inter? Zola did this to Watford. I, as a coach, I've always used the back four. "My main quality as a coach? Involving the team in a project, to make them believe in a project "You play three behind when you return coach? I do not know. I am trying to follow it, see if it can be valid.What is your main quality as a coach? Involving the team in a project, to believe in a project. And the relationship of respect that I have with the players. I am still in contact with a lot of players with whom I worked. Among the delicate things in your life, it's your sister, five years older than you, who is not flashy ... My sister was born psychic. But due to retinitis pigmentosa, detected when she was twelve years old, his eyesight deteriorated. And three-four years after she lost her sight. At the time, I was young, I did not understand the situation. For my parents, it was tragic. My sister lives in Italy, she has a job, a family, a child. When I played in Chelsea, she had often attend my matches at the stadium. The final of the C1 in Munich, she followed him watching TV with my mom. For me, the strength that you can find in your family, this is the base. I'm in a close-knit family, it was very important. We hope that researchers discovered a method to make the blind see, we closely follow the latest technologies.

1. C. Ronaldo 2. Suarez 3. Rooney

And his response towards that tat is just absolutely adorable

Noooooo I'm missing this match

I'm feeling SUPER confident so far!! Can't wait for the season to start

I hope this is the rumour of all rumours because I for one don't want him here. I don't care how much of a good striker he is I'd rather take an upstart from the academic over this dude

What!! OMG! *I'm not clicking that link* That is seriously messed up!

Oh right!!! Thanks!

What surgery is David having??? He just posted a video on fb about it. Where are the brasilians??? We need a translator!!!

Oh my David has found the video function on Instagram. The antics I can't understand

I'm liking the new look! Very edgy and professional. Wonderful job in design!

Highly disgraceful!! The club should be ashamed of their poor conduct. That is not the way to handle the situation as a professional establishment.

Well AWESOME for you too!! Not so much for those unable to do so. It's an unfortunate situation with nothing official in place (access passes) for those who are genuine in their support. but for whatever reason can't attend matches. Hopefully some other website will take its place

Oooohhhhhh!!! AWESOME (for me ) Sorry uk peeps!

But that's the only place I use Now if the freaking television stations always showed the matches that wouldn't be a problem but they don't so they should leave firstrow alone *sulks*

Nothing is over till the fat lady sings..... He hasn't been sold (as yet). Mourinho may still try him with a smaller side and he may still work his way back to being a squad player for us.

"Everywhere I go people say I look like him" Must be the visually impaired!

Chelsea's approach to its social media on a whole is lacking imo. For example, the YouTube channel is close to horrible....poor audio quality, short videos, no "extra" content for a big club that's a bit unacceptable. Hence it isn't shocking to hear that their DVD review is under par. I for one would not be purchasing it due to it sounding like it was put together by a 10 year old

Me too

I like the away kit. Debating whether to get that instead of the home kit this time

Any admin...Alex's hammer falls more often though. Hence the thor references. The hammer is strong in that one

I'm not the best person to ask that....I never read the rules of the forum I think we can feed them once we don't go overboard with abuse and stuff...I think. We will pray that the ban hammer doesn't fall on us
