Posted on by index

Chelsea playmaker Willian is set to star again for the club after almost two months.


The Brazilian lost his mother and he was granted a compassionate leave to return home in October. Willian has not started a game since then but insists that he is ready to get his start now.

Since Chelsea found a rhythm that works, Willian has settled for the impact substitute role. He came on in the clash against Manchester City to get the second goal earlier this month. The player was brilliant for Chelsea last season even when his teammates were not in fine form. He said current manager Antonio Conte has been supporting him in his tough times. He added that he wanted to fully contribute to the team’s brilliant run.

“The manager changed the team because I was in a difficult moment. I lost my mum and I had to stay in Brazil for a few days. I missed some games and the team started to win and play well. Pedro came in and he did very well. Continue reading “WILLIAN SET TO START FOR CHELSEA AGAIN”

Chelsea star Victor Moses says he is enjoying his football at Stamford Bridge again.


The Nigeria international has been phenomenal for the Blues under the new manager’s arrangement. Coach Antonio Conte made tactical changes that saw the player get a starting shirt in the new set-up.

“I’m feeling happy, I’m feeling excited and right now I’m looking forward to every game. The most important thing is getting out on the pitch and enjoying your football, and that’s what I am doing at the moment.

Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf has stated that Chelsea needs to replace aging players such as John Terry if they want to dominate English football.


He said that the team needs to have a proper plan in place for players such as John Terry, BranislavIvanovic, and Gary Cahill so that they do not find themselves in trouble when they stop playing. He believes that replacements need to be identified now so that they can be ready when the mature players retire.

The former French international said that it was a bad campaign last season and that Chelsea should find ways to avoid such problems to happen again. He believes that Antonio Conte is the right person to bring the club forward.

Frank Leboeuf said that although he is not a Chelsea player anymore, he still follow the team and said that he wants the best for the team. He believes that the only way forward is for the Italian manager to bring new players in the team so as to replace the aging stars. He admitted that at the moment there is not a proper player development plan in place, and this is what is preventing the team from going forward. Continue reading “Terry needs to be replace”

Posted on by index

While departing, Antonio Conte has bemoaned not having proper support from the authorities of his National Federation.

For Conte, the only person standing by him most of the time was the chairman, but, even though he was the head, it was not possible for him to do a lot without having the others on board.

However, according to Conte, the Euro Championship was a conclusion of all the work done by him with Italy in the last 24 months and he is grateful and thankful for the positive vibes generated by the supporters.

Conte also revealed that it was not very long back that he was willing for the chance to go further with the Italy job. In fact, till the last winters he had no ambitions to cut the ties with Azzurri, but, due to some particular developments, he didn’t push on the future talks. Also, around that same time, the offer from Chelsea came beckoning and his reaction to such a thrilling proposition happened to be positive.

The 46-year old is now moving forward with a lot of clarity. He says he doesn’t see himself returning to Italy’s ranks for any second tenure and he would possibly spend the rest of his career in club management only.

Conte would look to shrug off the sadness of the Germany loss in the little time that he has before he moves to another venture where challenging times are certainly in store for him. His daring personality, however, would only enjoy that. Continue reading “Antonio Conte has bemoaned not having proper support”

Sponsorship of Adidas for Chelsea FC is coming to an end after mutual agreement.


If you thought that the sponsor company only pays the club to sponsor its games, you are in the wrong. This time, in order to break the deal, the club has to pay up a significant sum. Adidas is known to be one of the largest gear makers for athletes in Europe. The company had a sponsorship deal with Chelsea Football Club. The company had tied up and agreed to sponsor its games and sportswear as well. The pact is being ended about six years before the contract would have expired.

Adidas, the German based sports and athletic wear and Supplies Company, stated that the agreement with the club would end by June 30th 2017 instead of June 2023 which was the initial deal. The agreement is being ended to allow the club to start another agreement with another competitor brand. The rival company has not been named as yet, but it will probably be between Puma and Nike. Puma is also a German based athletic wear brand that usually takes up competitive deals with Adidas. Continue reading “Chelsea And Adidas End Sponsorship Deal”
