Again, the Luiz Felipe Scolari interview is making headlines and to be honest I am getting bored of listening to him. It was bad enough yesterday when he revealed that he wanted to swap Didier Drogba for Adriano!!. However, there is one point in a much more in depth interview as quoted in The Mirror that I wanted to pick up on.

It's seems that Michael Ballack never wanted Deco at the club when Scolari signed him. As a result (and I have to say only during Scolari's time it seems) they never spoke to each other.

Scolari said:

"Ballack wanted to be one of the owners of the dressing room and the relationship with the German was not easy. He seemed jealous of Deco, did not want his arrival and I had to explain that I was the coach and it was up to me. I wanted Deco to work it out with Ballack, but it wasn't possible. They didn't speak to each other".

Look at the photo above, do you see the "issues" there that Scolari is talking about because I don't. It may have been true when Deco first arrived but any signs of that being the case you would imagine the likes of JT, Lampard, Drogba and Cech being the senior members of the squad, would have put a stop to it and to make sure everyone pulls together.

I know who for me made much more of an impact at Chelsea than the other and it isn't Deco!!

I think it's about time Mr Scolari moves on and deals with the fact that he made a mess of it here.
