European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)The 'new Look' Chelsea by otumfour(op): 6:52pm On Jul 11, 2012
For years they have been the heavyweights of the Barclays Premier League. With Didier Drogba bulldozing opposition defenders, Chelsea won three League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups and a Champions League in eight seasons.
Now they are tearing up the rule book and starting again. It’s time for a mini revolution at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are bringing in small, exciting players whom they hope can ape Barcelona’s tiki-taka passing style. Roman Abramovich and Roberto Di Matteo want pretty football - being efficient but unattractive to watch is no longer an option.

Out have gone much of the old guard. Drogba is in China with Nicolas Anelka, Salomon Kalou has signed for Lille and Florent Malouda and Michael Essien could also leave.
In their places have arrived Eden Hazard from Lille and Marko Marin from Werder Bremen, with Oscar due to join from Internacional. All three are creative players to sit behind Fernando Torres, who needs service in a way Drogba did not.
Add Juan Mata and Ramires into the mix and you can see that Chelsea are thinking big by thinking small. They want to kill teams with passing, not strength.
The club are making sure their new signings are getting special treatment as they prepare for something of a culture shock at Stamford Bridge.
Indeed Abramovich’s personal bodyguards chaperone Hazard and Marin into training each day. They are important members of the Chelsea squad, part of the future for this team.
Di Matteo has been obsessive in his approach to the season, beginning his day at 8am and finishing long after the players have left the training ground.
It has echoes of the long hours Andre Villas-Boas used to put in but the atmosphere at the training ground is far more relaxed under the Italian.
He will experiment in pre-season, using Frank Lampard in the withdrawn role in which he excelled during the Champions League. He will sit in front of the back four alongside John Mikel Obi or Ramires.
Then come the little men. The plan is for Marin, Hazard and Mata to work behind Torres, providing the £50m striker with enough chances to finally kickstart his Chelsea career. The trio will have the licence to swap positions, making them difficult to mark and track

Oscar, set to be the latest addition to the revolution, can replace any of them. He will need to as Chelsea’s fixture list will pile up with the campaigns in the Premier League, Champions League, World Club Cup, FA Cup and League Cup.
Di Matteo knows this is the start of another journey for Abramovich, reaching for the stars as the framework is put in place to carry on competing with other European heavyweights.
Only this time they will be heavyweights of a different kind. Chelsea have won the Champions League with defensive might, now they plan to mesmerise.

gst101: light is more constant in ghana not becos the generate more than we do but becos the litle they generate is under utilised. They dont have as many companies as we have in nigeria. And light covers a smaller percentage of their geographical area.
Nigeria may be generating less than 4000MW, but 4000MW is obviously not what we use. Put all of the watts we generate using our generators together and i bet you, even SA will not generate that much. Come to our places of business anytime anyday and you will see light. Thats strong enterprenural spirit which is hallmark of the nigerian! We have shown that we can be independent of our govt; a character you have not shown.
A CHARACTER WE HAVE NOT SHOWN BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT CARES FOR ITS CITIZENS, AND AN EXAMPLE IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW AND U ARE CRYING ABOUT.....UNLIKE UR FAT BELLY HAVING LEADER CHOPPING UR MONEY IN BROAD DAY LIGHT......

any country with about 10 citizens having the same thinking faculty as this imbecilic ape here is in a very big trouble and no wonder nigeria is what it is today......how can this pr!ck of an ape defend a clueless government like nigeria's and u claim u went to school.....in 2012, an oil producing nation like nigeria can't even boast of a common 7hr's electricity........gst1! u are a foo0l wit swag in idiocy


Nigeria has a long way to go mahn, this generation of nigerians are worse than the older 1's and the sad thing is, they are filled wit a foools pride

This is an update for the fans about my current situation. I have kept quiet all this time out of respect and loyalty for the club and as agreed with Mr. Gazidis and Mr. Wenger, but since there is so much speculation in the media, I think it is fair for you guys to know what’s really going on at the moment.

As announced earlier this year I had a meeting with the Boss and Mr. Gazidis after the season. This was a meeting about the club’s future strategy and their policy. Financial terms or a contract have not been discussed, since that is not my priority at all.

I personally have had a great season but my goal has been to win trophies with the team and to bring the club back to its glory days. Out of my huge respect for Mr. Wenger, the players and the fans I don’t want to go into any details, but unfortunately in this meeting it has again become clear to me that we in many aspects disagree on the way Arsenal FC should move forward.

I’ve thought long and hard about it, but I have decided not to extend my contract. You guys, the fans, have of course the right to disagree with my view and decision and I will always respect your opinions.

I love the club and the fans, no matter what happens. I have grown up and became a man during my time with Arsenal FC. Everybody at the club and the fans have always supported me over the years and I have always given my all (and more) on and off the pitch. I am very proud of being part of this fantastic club for the last 8 years. As soon as Mr. Gazidis is back from his 2-week holiday in America further meetings will follow and I will update you if and when there are more developments.

dasparrow: How so? Did all the citizens of that state kidnap the baby? Why do most human beings form the annoying habit of blaming everyone else for the criminal actions of a few? why should honest men and women of Delta state take the blame and shame for the criminal activities of the dishonest ones? Please hold people accountable for their individual actions and not for the actions of the group they were born into.
