CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I loved how the players threw him in the air last night like he was our key man this season! Such a great guy, he just has to stay in the coaching staff! jmarlow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,939 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 This was the point when i actually shed a tear. Paulo just reminds me of the Mourinho days and I'm glad we have kept him here and not just shipped him out to save his wage bill. francozola and Amblève. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 That's the difference between him and Malouda for me, in terms of attitude and professionalism. Everyone actually respects him. I'm sure he helps out a lot behind the scenes with the young players and the foreign lads. Never complained or had a bad word to say about anyone. Did a thoroughly professional job on the pitch whenever asked. Genuine, top class guy. Thanks for everything Paulo! Rambo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of our new signings, like Torres, Luiz, Marin, Mata (Luiz even said that Paulo is the most amazing person he has ever met) have come out and said that they have learned a lot from him. Which is why I can only see him taking up a coaching position if he decides to hang up his boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22mek22 133 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Amazing man, great bloke, good player and loves Chelsea.If Jose does come, could anyone see him becoming a coach? I bloody hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Kind of hoping he retires after today and takes a role in the coaching team. Would be ideal, he certainly knows Mourinho and he's on great terms with everyone in the team, including those who have joined after Jose left in 07.An amazing human being and a great servant for Chelsea FC, thanks for everything Paulo Ferreira!

Milan 17,957 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 It certainly looked like he is leaving the club. The way Frank wanted fans to applaud Paulo one more time, calling him the best professional...Paulo Ferreira - true gentleman.

Popular Post! Amblève. 4,995 Posted May 19, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted May 19, 2013 Watching Paulo's speech brought tears to my eyes for the second time this week. A true professional who made his mark at Chelsea not only as a great footballer but as an absolute gentleman that he is. Young players that join us should look up to him just like they do with the likes of Lampard, Drogba etc.This might be slightly off-topic but I feel like writing it somewhere down. We're getting closer to the end of the old guard, aren't we? And it's more obvious and hurting than ever. With Paulo leaving who's still left from the old (Mourinho) days? Cech, Lamps, Terry, Cole, Mikel and Essien, right?! It's unbelievable how fast time flies, really. And there's nothing we can do about it. I know everyone's looking forward to the new generation at this football club (I do too) but there's something inside me dying nonetheless. I'm emotional seeing "just" Paulo saying good bye, I don't even wanna think about how I'll feel about Lamps retiring. diskoviolente, English Freak, Heisenberg and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 A true professional. Amazing to think how many years he has been here, in the background, watching all these players come in and also taking over his place. His work for the club will never been forgotten, always stepped up when needed, probably making life much easier for all the brazilians and the portugeezers who came in over the last seasons.Brings a tear to my eye that he´ll be gone. Hopefully he stays with the Chels´. Him, Terry and Carvalho brought the consistency we needed in the back four...oh dear...how hard will it be to see all the boys (the old guard) gone at some point...
