If the report is to believed in The Sun today, AVB apparently criticised all of the players at the training ground after the defeats to Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool in the Carling Cup a week ago. The report in the article quotes "A Chelsea insider" as saying:
"It was unbelievable. The manager would look at a player, tear him to shreds, then move on to the next one. For example, he turned to Didier Drogba and told him, 'You're a fraction of the player you were last season'. Then he turned to the next player and laid into him. Everyone was stunned, they'd never seen him like this and had never been treated like this before.I have to say that there seems to be a hell of alot that comes from this so called 'Chelsea insider" and isn't it strange that we never hear from them when things are going great!?.
Anelka was first to feel the icy blast, with AVB turning to him and saying: "I don't want to see you anywhere near the first team again." The manager told Anelka he wasn't welcome anywhere. He was banned from training with the first team, banned from using the training facilities if the first-team squad were using them — and told he would be training with the reserves from now on. Then AVB turned to Alex and said 'And the same applies to you'."
As for what they are describing happening, I am not so sure. Can you imagine AVB being like this with the players. If he was exactly like they are saying then fair play!!!
I think that they just decided that they wanted to move and put in a transfer request and as a result the decision was taken to have them train away from the first team players who are focused and committed to the Chelsea cause!
What do you think?

wtf? could anelka and/or alex be negative influences in the dressing room? why axe them like they were x factor contestants? I'm just not sure.
ReplyDeletehowever I do believe it necessary for avb to stamp his authority on the squad, and bust up cliques. this could be 1 way to do that but it also seems to be a way to breed more animosity. if it happened after the lgcup exit, it does seem to have worked for now....
