Der Einspruch gegen die Sperre für Mikel wurde abgelehnt, er wird standardmäßig drei Spiele fehlen. Auch JT könnte nachträglich gesperrt werden, weil er nach der Roten Karte von Dean gegriffen hat.

Mourinho Was Betrayed By Chelsea, Claims Drogba

In an explosive and widely-trailed interview with France Football magazine, Didier Drogba claims that Jose Mourinho was betrayed by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, that the club is in crisis following Mourinho's shock exit, and that he himself is determined to follow his mentor out of Stamford Bridge at the earliest opportunity.

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has claimed that the club's billionaire Russian owner, Roman Abramovich, forced Jose Mourinho out.

And he revealed: “I’ve taken the decision to leave. Sacking Mourinho has done a lot of harm to the squad — we now know what happened and those who forced Mourinho out.”

Drogba added that there is no way he will reverse his own decision to leave Chelsea. He said: “They know my will to leave, something has irrevocably broken between me and Chelsea.

“At the moment there is not much laughter in training and I didn’t think we could feel this low.

"I have been so angry and so disappointed with what happened to Mourinho.”

Remarkably, the 29-year-old Ivorian admitted that he has even considered refusing to play in order to expedite his exit from Stamford Bridge.

“I thought very hard about not playing against Valencia in Europe so I could avoid making myself ineligible for another side this season.

“When you are as disappointed as I have been then you sometimes take impulsive decisions.”

Drogba has revealed details of how the reign of Mourinho - the "Special One" - was brought to an end.

He said: “I learned that the manager was going when he told me personally — before the club made it official.

“It was a shock because I literally did not believe it could happen to a guy like him.

“When Mourinho went to say goodbye for the last time in the dressing room it only lasted five minutes but it was an immensely strong moment and very moving.

“To watch him empty his locker so quickly and with such little fuss was terrible.

“Some around me were crying. It’s a shame if you are sensitive. He kissed us, one by one — except a few!

“Then he said ‘I wish you good luck to you and to your families and I thank you all. Even those who betrayed me’.

“Mourinho didn’t stay a second longer after that because I think he would have burst into tears.

“Then it was like fireworks in the dressing room.

“I really feared that everything was going to explode.

“Finally a sense of resignation sunk over us and my initial feeling, just like a lot of players I think, was to feel alone.

“It was almost like being an orphan after the departure of a father.

“Over the following days I struggled to look at some people without getting angry.

“Things went too far. In training, during those days, you could see some players were making basic errors, forgetting the basics of football.

“Thankfully that effect didn’t last too long.

“My opinion is that results were only an excuse for getting rid of him. Perhaps his honesty and his way of saying what he thinks were not appreciated by everyone at the club.

“Mourinho explained to me what had happened in the few weeks prior to his departure and I understood why he went.

“I prefer not to share that, I just want to say that I have been really badly surprised by some people.

“I understand now what Mourinho meant when he told me ‘Know that I am happy to leave this place’.

Drogba added: “Sacking Mourinho has done a lot of harm to the squad.

“I still don’t know why we changed manager after just a month of competition. There was nothing alarming.

“If the will to sack him existed, then why not do it pre-season?

“If you trust a guy to start the season, then apart from a total catastrophe he has to get until December at least.

“But apparently Abramovich changed his philosophy.

“We players are only employees and it was out of our hands.

"I took the whole thing badly and perhaps I put too much sentiment in my relationship with the coach.”

Drogba's career blossomed under Mourinho, and he he does not feel he can reproduce his best form for new manager Avram Grant.

He said: "The fire in me has gone. I need to play for a club where I am willing to break a leg in search of victory and I need to play for a club which makes me dream.

"Winning the Champions League makes me dream and I thought that staying at Chelsea for what I knew would be Mourinho’s last season was my best chance of achieving this.

“When the manager left he quickly said that he would like to work with me again but in such deals nothing is simple. He knows that I dream of the Spanish and the Italian league.

“I must win either La Liga or Serie A and there are, perhaps, only five clubs in the world that make me dream.

“They are Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter, AC Milan and Marseille. There are not 50 clubs which can inspire my passion and my hunger to win but these ones do.

“I’ve been so angry and so disappointed with what happened to Mourinho that I truly thought of leaving in this winter market.

"As for leaving it’s a decision I won’t change, even if people tell me that Ronaldinho and Kaka are on their way in the summer.

“So I’ve decided I’ll stay until next summer.

“I will do everything to defend my shirt loyally until the end of the season.

“I’ve had a strange relationship with Chelsea since my first day. Almost since that day I’ve wanted to leave.

“But despite this I’ve stayed and they are the most beautiful years of my career.

“I’ve wondered if this club was right for me and it took me a long time to love Chelsea.

“In the past I have never been so clear in my wish to leave. But today I really know firmly and clearly what I want.

“Experience shows that it’s no good for a club to try to keep a player against his will.

“I hope I’ll be able to part company with the club in a correct way.

“I acknowledge that this is a club where I was greatly helped to grow up.

“I hope people won’t be too angry with me because, in the end, I’m thinking of myself.”

Chelsea issued a brief statement yesterday reiterating that Drogba was contracted to the club an that they expected him to honour that contract.

It remains to be seen how the club will respond to what Drogba has said in print - whether they feel the stiker has breached any internal disciplinary protocol with comments that Chelsea presumably did not vet or authorise.

der ten cate is wahrlich eine bereicherung, aber das war eh zu erwarten. allerdings sind diverse (un-)summen mal wieder einfach nur ein scherz. zuvor muss erstmal ballack abgegeben werden und man sollte auch abwarten wie sich sidwell entwickelt. ein bisschen schneller aufblühen als swp wär mir schon recht

[rahzel]

Nein nur weil Ballack einen weiteren Konkurrenten bekommt gegen den er sich wohl auch nicht durchsetzen kann

Dachte du würdest denken, er wäre keine Konkurrenz für Michael. Bis jetzt hat Luka immer überzeugt, vor allen Europacupspielen waren die ausländischen Medien kritisch, ob er denn wirklich soviel wert ist, nach den Spielen waren sie immer überzeugt. Denke, dass er eine gute Figur bei Chelsea machen würde.

definitiv. erhofft hab ich mir schöneren fussball natürlich, dass es so schnell passiert und auch gleich mit erfolgen verbunden ist, überrascht mich etwas. aber chelsea hat nun mal einen kader für 4-3-3, trotz aller liebe zu mourinho hab ich nie verstanden, warum er das aufgegeben hat.

[joka]

terry nach dem foul von eboue am sonntag 6 wochen verletzt... hab mir zerst nicht gedacht das des so arg war, aber er hat voll durchgezogen und der andre is gestreckt rein... iwelche knochen im fuß sind gebrochen...

[Interisti]

Michael Ballack steht heute wieder im Kader für das Spiel gegen Liverpool.

Bin mal gespannt wie schnell und ob er wieder seine Topform erreicht.

[MILANISTA]

Bin gespannt wie sehr man ihm seine fehlende Spielpraxis anmerkt!

Und in späterer Folge welche Rolle Grant ihm zugedacht hat. Bei einem 4-3-3 dürfte er ja höchstens den Edeljoker geben! Sofern Lampard jetzt nicht wirklich im Januar zu Juve wechselt!....

Morddrohung gegen Chelsea-Coach Grant

Eine von antisemitischem Tönen begleitete Morddrohung ist am Dienstag gegen Avram Grant, den israelischen Coach des englischen Premier-League-Clubs Chelsea, eingegangen.

Auf dem Trainingsgelände der "Blues" traf für den 52-Jährigen ein Paket mit vermeintlich tödlichem Pulver ein, das sich nach Untersuchungen allerdings als harmlos herausstellte.

Dem Paket beigelegt war ein Schreiben, in dem Grant als "Judenbastard" bezeichnet wurde. "Wenn Du diesen Brief öffnen wirst, wirst Du einen sehr langsamen und schmerzhaften Tod sterben", hieß es in dem Drohbrief. Auch Grants Ehefrau, der TV-Star Tzofit, wird im Schreiben mit dem Tod bedroht.

Nach dem Fund hatte eine Spezialeinheit Chelseas Trainingsgelände abgeriegelt. Der Trainer selbst war zum Zeitpunkt des Eintreffens des Pakets nicht anwesend.
