They play in a different country where the weather is nicer, other teams are weaker and the fans put a lot more pressure on their players. To be successful in England a player must be physically strong and very determined besides having good technique.
I did not like the team selection and substitutions today but there were also positives and I believe with Hiddink the number of positives will increase in time. I have no doubt that we'll be in top ten at the end of the season. To qualify for Europa league we need one or two signings.
Who gets provoked by an 80 year old guy He survived second world war but not TC. Anyway, merry Christmas and happy new year everyone, don't forget that ignorance is bliss.
Juventus board know what they are doing, Atletico board know they are doing, Manchester City board is just trying to build Barcelona 2 in Northwest of England. It is not going to work.
Emanolo is not a member of the board. http://www.chelseafc.com/the-club/about-chelsea-football-club/club-personnel.html We need someone in the board who knows more about football than the current members. The football director at Bayern is Sammer and at Atletico Caminero is the director. I don't think Simeone or Guardiola would want to work with our director or with our board. Even if they did I am not sure if can they repeat their success at Chelsea.
Inter lost at home. Currently they are at the top pf the table but they have been playing horrible football whereas Juve got better in time. Mourinho might return to Inter if Mancini fails this year.
I like Simeone and for me when a team outsmarts its opponents that is beautiful football, but his defensive approach might make some of our players unhappy and unmotivated again.
Simeone: “The intelligent supporter is the one who does not obsess over whether the team plays well, but rather that the team wants to win.” http://www.worldsoccer.com/features/diego-simeone-the-secret-of-his-success-363820
It would be interesting to see how some members, who did not like the activity in Lukaku's and De Bruyne's threads, post in Mourinho's thread after every game if he goes to another English club.
