Michael Ballack blames Roman Abramovich’s attitude for lack of trophies at Stamford Bridge
Bayer Leverkusen midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Ballack-c25270 believes that Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, is to be blamed for the club’s lack of silverware in recent seasons. The midfielder reckons that the owner needs to cut down his involvement in some matters, and should
give a free hand to the manager and the players.
He also revealed that some of the players are at unease due to Abramovich’s influence.
Ballack stated Abramovich interferes unnecessarily in the team meetings, causing frustration among the players. The midfielder enthused that Chelsea could have won more trophies had their owner given them a free hand. The former Chelsea man told that it
was shocking to see the interest Abramovich took in the internal affairs, which was something new to his eyes.
The German international suggests that Abramovich should avoid reprimanding players over every loss if he wishes to see silverware at Stamford Bridge. He also criticized the owner for spending 50 million Pounds on the transfer of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707, who is
yet to prove his worth to the club.
While talking to the local news channel, the 34-year-old added, “When I arrived, I was surprised by how interested Roman was in the team. He was there for pre-season training every day and wanted to get to know all the new players. When you’re the boss of
the team, it becomes your baby and you have to be interested.”
“He came down into the dressing room after victories and even defeats. He gave us a hard time when we lost. If you don’t do your http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 as a player 100 per cent, it’s normal that the boss is angry. When we lost, the players were angry, the coach was unhappy,
but the angriest was always the boss.” He concluded.
Ballack joined Leverkusen in 2010 after spending four years in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 playing for Chelsea. The player so far has 18 league appearances under his belt but is yet to open his account for the club. The midfielder netted 17 league goals during his stay with
