11Drogba 2,000 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Compare to some clubs, they aren't really trigger happy.I think you don't know much about the Agnelli family. They don't hesitate pulling the trigger at all as you see in the link I posted.From http://www.theguardian.com/football/2001/jun/18/europeanfootball.sportSecond place is definitely not good enough for Juventus. Sometimes first place doesn't even cut it.Juve announced that they had sacked Carlo Ancelotti at half-time during their 2-1 win over Atalanta on Sunday. Never mind that he had recently signed a two-year extension to his contract. Never mind that it was their 11th game without defeat.They are as ruthless as any other rich owner you mentioned. The difference is that they understand football better than our board. I think Klopp will have trouble now as he has to work with the Liverpool board who seem clueless compared to the people he used to work with.You compared Allegri's record to Conte's, but last year they did not just change their manager they also transferred a striker who steps up in important games. That's why I mentioned Morata. I already wrote that I agree Conte should have done better with the squad he had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! xPetrCechx 13,573 Posted October 11, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted October 11, 2015 Koeman on Jose: Chelsea prefer to defend when attacking is also an option.Mourinho always chooses to defend. Even if his team goes 1-0 up, they would rather defend their lead than try to score more goals.Yet Arsenal can kill an opponent. That is why their victory against Manchester United was so impressive.Attacking-wise, they completely destroyed United. For 20 minutes, they played the most fantastic football, while Chelsea do the opposite thing.By defending, Chelsea give their opponent a chance to come back in the game. It was a shame that Mourinho was putting attention on the referee after we beat them.He wanted to have a penalty in the first half. But, in the first half at Stamford Bridge, Southampton should have had two penalties. Mana, Stats, Heisenberg and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,573 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Chelsea are considering Diego Simeone as a replacement for Jose Mourinho but will have to pay £15m to get the Atletico Madrid boss out of his contract in Spain. (Sunday Mirror) Mourinho will be backed by Chelsea with transfer funds in January, and will make a £36m move for Everton defender John Stones.

Popular Post! BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted October 11, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted October 11, 2015 LOL the media just wants to try to unsettle Jose by making up these Simeone rumours. Our manager has been backed by the owner so there is no need to worry.However, with this kind of support, Jose must plan and implement a new strategy. Persisting with his old plans and hoping that it'll work will not change things around anymore. Enough time has been given to experiment this and now he must show everyone why he truly is one of the greatest managers in football history.Come on Jose!!

Perfect for a small team like Atletico de Madrid (small if is compared with Real Madrid or Barcelona), but IMO Simeone would not make us better.

The only difference between them is that Jose is important for us and Simeone is important for Atletico Madrid.

The Chels 2,502 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 To pay 15m for new manager?? Apparently, BS.The Mirror have almost certainly just plucked that figure/release clause out of thin air and I can't see any truth in the article, but £15m for one of the best managers in the world isn't that much when you compare it to the kind of sums we pay for players nowhere near an equivalent level (e.g. £27m for Cuadrado). But Simeone is also a manager which bet very strong in the "old school" in his starting eleven. Simeone is like Jose. If he came to Chelsea I am sure he will continue to use players like Iva, JT or Fabregas.Simeone is not perfect by any means and it's true that ultimately he is a cynical, defensive manager. It's clear to see why his style would turn off a lot of Chelsea fans and many would prefer something completely different like Guardiola. That said, personally I really enjoy watching Atleti because of the intensity they play at (which requires mobility and makes it unlikely that he'd continue with Ivanovic, Terry and Cesc) and how effective they generally are at nullifying the opposition. It tends to be a lot more controlled and well-executed than the type of defending that relies on opposition wastefulness and good goalkeeping, something which has become increasingly common in Mourinho's set-up. Does Simeone give youth a chance?He likes a mixture of youth and experience. In Atleti's last match (against Real Madrid, no less) he started with five players aged 30+ in addition to five players aged 24 or younger, including three 20-year-olds, and he brought on another 2 players of this type.

supporter 3,088 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Does Simeone give youth a chance?Yes. But it is also true that Simone bet on young players because Atletico de Madrid is a team with less economic power than Chelsea and they need to create young players and then selling them to other teams. in Chelsea IMO Simeone would be a different manager, very similar to Jose.But Simeone is always surrounded by an "old school" of veteran players (like Godin, Miranda, Juanfran, Tiago, Gabi ...) which are totally untouchable for him. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11Drogba 2,000 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has claimed that he looks at a player’s star sign before signing them, and says that he likes Geminis as they are aggressive and intense.http://www.espnfc.us/spanish-primera-divisi%C3%A3%C2%B3n/story/1764420/atletico-madrid-coach-diego-simeone-a-believer-in-horoscopes zolayes and Stats 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Simeone is a no-no for me. Extremely defensive manager. Not to mention his sides often lack offensive quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
