LONDON - Former Chelsea player, Marcel Desailly, argue, reason for dismissal of Carlo Ancelotti last season because he did not know how to play Fernando Torres as the spearhead. Torres bought Chelsea to Liverpool in January. Unmitigated, "The Blues" has to spend 50 million euros (about USD 602 billion) to obtain the services of the Spanish players. However, these exorbitant prices not comparable with the performance of Torres.
Of the 14 games in the Premier League, 27-year player could only score one goal. By Torres is barren, ultimately failed to retain his Chelsea Premier League and Ancelotti was fired. "Yes, I was very surprised by the decision of the club sack Ancelotti because he served well in the Premier League. However, last season he faces tough competition from Manchester United who have good statistics at home. Perhaps the only reason why he was fired is because Roman Abramovich (Chelsea owner) feel, Ancelotti does not fit with Torres. Carletto do not know how to put Torres in the assaults, "said Desailly.
Desailly went on, he got a glimpse of some Chelsea players that most of the squad unhappy with Abramovich's decision to fire Ancelotti. "They were disappointed because they feel Ancelotti has a winning mentality that they are looking for. He won the Champions League, Serie A, and also a big player when he was in Italy. They were surprised when he fired," he explained.
"However, as I said, he lost his job not because of the collective performance of the team. However, because he did not demonstrate sufficient ability to organize an attack with Torres in it," said Desailly.
