I can assure you all that as soon as I am ready and the coach selects me I will make up for lost time. I can't wait to join the other guys on the pitch. Hopefully I can come back like last season and contribute in some shape or form.
February is a big month and I am not only talking about Valentine's Day! It's a month that will define our season
Beje, Anelka pasirodo už Chelsea jau yra sužaidęs daugiau mačų nei už bet kurį kitą klubą ir čia tik po dvejų metų klube.
Beje, Anelka pasirodo už Chelsea jau yra sužaidęs daugiau mačų nei už bet kurį kitą klubą ir čia tik po dvejų metų klube. 😕 Visiems žinoma, kad anksčiau jis toks klajoklis buvo, bet kažkaip vistiek keista truputį, kad taip greit toks pasiekimas. 😁
Essienas galės žaist prieš Interą?
He has been getting behind the lads, telling us to 'come on'. He has trained with commitment and played with commitment as a substitute. It is nonsense to say he is sulking.
- I'd love to work in Argentina, Chile and Japan. I love Tokyo. But this is my dream job [being Porto's manager] and I want to be here for many years. I know it's not usual Porto's managers staying here more than two years, but I love my city and all this environment that surrounds the club.
- It's true that players have individual ambitions, but they can't put them above the collective goal. I've lived experiences abroad, but my feeling for this club [Porto] is extremely strong. That doesn't mean everyone shares it. I would never leave this chair [his job at Porto].
- I longed for this position [Porto's job] in an insane, blind way. It's the club I defend, where I grew up. Any fan of any club knows what he feels for his team. I do it with the same passion. This is the ultimate goal I always wanted.

PETR CECH met Claudio Ranieri for the first time this year - just SEVEN YEARS after the Italian had signed him for Chelsea.
The Czech international keeper turned up at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2004 to find the boss who had splashed out £7million for him had been axed. Since then six different managers have arrived - and five have left.
The Blues' Player of the Year Cech said: "At Chelsea, one day you have a manager - the next day you have someone else. One day you play for Chelsea, next day you are somewhere else. So you learn very quickly that everything can change very suddenly. It was a strange situation with Claudio. He was the manager who bought me for Chelsea. It was February 2004 and it was agreed I would join at the end of the season. But when I flew to London to sign the deal Chelsea were playing away and he was not there. And when the summer came he was not there again - he had been sacked. So the first time I met him was when he came back to Chelsea last season to monitor our training. It was funny. I said to him 'Finally it's nice to meet you! It's only been seven years!' But that's how football is."
"When I signed for Rennes I had two bosses in my first season - the one who signed me was sacked after eight games. I came back from international duty and there was another guy in charge. I was much younger then and thought 'Oh no, a new manager! This will be really tough'. But these days I'm used to it. And although we keep changing managers it's always me in goal and I'm proud of that."
Bosses have come and gone at the Bridge but 29-year-old Cech has been a constant - the first choice of Mourinho, Grant, Scolari, Hiddink and Ancelotti. But what now under Villas-Boas?
Cech said: "No matter who the boss is, you just have to concentrate on doing things right. It's the quality of the work you do on the pitch and in training that determines whether the manager keeps you in or out. It's down to you - not him. I'm proud of my Chelsea records; most clean sheets in a season, fewest goals conceded and especially for achieving 100 clean sheets in 180 games. That's even better than the great Peter Schmeichel, who took 212 games. And, thankfully, I've managed to please all of my Chelsea managers."
Cech is also hoping Villas-Boas will be in charge for a long time after a succession of false managerial dawns. The keeper added: "First there was Jose Mourinho and we had a lot of success but that came to a sudden end. When Phil Scolari came everyone thought we would keep the manager for years. But that didn't work out at all. Guus Hiddink did well but couldn't stay because he was manager of Russia. When Carlo Ancelotti was announced everyone again said we had the manager to lead us a long time."
Cech was also quick to quash talk of factions in the dressing room last term, reported rifts that ensured a trophy-less season which cost Ancelotti his job. He added: "I'd be disappointed if players were happy they were not playing. We want everyone competing hard. And we'll need to be at our best again next season. It's not just Manchester United we need to match, there's City, Arsenal and Spurs. And I have a feeling Liverpool will be a force again. It's going to be an exciting season."
But maybe the most exciting thing will be keeping the manager for once.
“The money never was a problem. The money Chelsea paid for me was never something I was worried about. It didn’t make me play badly.
“It was just a difficult change from Liverpool to Chelsea. The adaptation took more time than it should. But all these things are in the past. Let’s think about the present. The future can be brilliant, even better.
“The end of the season was brilliant for the club, for me and for everyone. It made me a better player, a better person, and I'm stronger than ever now. I would change nothing if I could go back. I would change nothing that happened to me last season.”
“I had a conversation with Robbie and with the board, and said what I felt about last season and what I wanted in the future,” said Torres. “Five minutes after that everything was clarified.
“I’m here because I have an important part to play for this team, but I couldn’t say a bad word about Chelsea. They made a big effort to buy me, and I have a lot of things still to do for this club.
“I want to win everything I haven’t won yet. We’ve won the Champions League. Hopefully we can win it one more time. Still there’s plenty of things to do. I’m not going to give up. I never did and I’m not about to.”
Being special is working to the maximum of your ability and motivation, being good with yourself in all the challenges you've got. And, if possible, winning and being successful many times.
You're not special if you don't win - but I do win!"
Maybe I'm not the best coach in the world, but I don't think there's a better coach than me.
I don't want to be called a legend but I have a great history which is difficult to compare. I consider myself a great coach.
I've had great years but the next ones are always the most important.
I don't celebrate winning titles a lot because I never want to think it's the last one I will win. Anyone who wants to see me playing safe and failing will be disappointed. I think it's natural that I will win more trophies in my career.
Pagrindinės Bucko išsakytos mintys:
Dabar komandoje teturime vieną traumuotą žaidėją - Bosingwą;
Už Sturridge'ą siūlėm 3 milijonus, City norėjo 8 milijonų. Kaip viskas gavosi jau buvo rašyta transferų temoje;
Laikinai nukelti transferų baną prašėme tik tam, kad turėtume laisvę sausį jeigu staiga atsirastų puiki galimybė įsigyti žaidėją ir galėtume apsidrausti traumos atveju, bet konkrečiai jokio žaidėjo nebuvome nusižiūrėję, todėl realu, jog nieko per šį transferų langą neįsigysime. Tiesa, visko dar gali nutikti ir galbūt naujų žaidėjų bus;
Per šį transferų langą joks žaidėjas nepaliks klubo;
Joe Cole'as tikrai liks Chelsea, šiuo metu vyksta derybos su jo agentu ir tikimasi netrukus pasirašyti naują kontraktą;
Buckas trumpai papasakojo apie tai, kaip rūpinamės išnuomotais žaidėjais. Kiekvienas jų turi paskirtą asmenį, kuris stebi kiekvienas jų rungtynes, visi jei atsiskaito Arnesenui, o Arnesenas kiekvieną mėnesį organizuoja valdybos susirinkimą, kuriame trumpai apžvelgia kiekvieno išnuomoto žaidėjo situaciją. Taip pat, prieš išnuomodami žaidėją iš akademijos visada pirmiausia išsiunčiame Arneseną aptarti visų sąlygų ir tik tada priimamas sprendimas nuomoti žaidėją ar ne;
Išsikelti iš Stamford Bridge'o ir statyti naują stadioną nėra jokių planų. Vis dar bando rasti kelią praplėsti Stamford Bridge'ą, bet dėl sudėtingos stadiono lokacijos vienintelė tribūna, kurią būtų realu išplėsti yra Matthew Harding Stand. Taip pat manoma, kad dabartinėje situacijoje vietų padidinimas 8-10 tūkstančių vietų būtų pakankamas;
Klubas svarsto stadiono vardo teisių pardavimą.
Nu esmė maždaug tokia. Mintys dėl naujų žaidėjų nelabai džiuginančios, bet aš čia nelabai tiksliai jas perteikiau. Iš tiesų Buckas paliko vilties, kad naujas žaidėjas dar gali atvykti. 🙄
