Due to the reasons of the Chelsea club owner, the United Kingdom has recently taken measures against Chelsea clubs, mainly including banning Chelsea from signing all new contracts and prohibiting Chelsea from obtaining any new gains. As a result, Chelsea was unable to sign or renew their contracts with players, to sell tickets and club merchandise, and to go to Chelsea's home stadium to cheer on the team if they did not buy Chelsea season passes. Even Chelsea's expenses per game have been strictly regulated, such as the cost of each game at home, including security, which must not exceed 500,000 pounds (the new news has been adjusted to 900,000 pounds), and the travel expenses to domestic away games must not exceed 20,000 pounds, during which time Chelsea must pay salaries to club employees and players according to the original contract.
It is reported that Chelsea club currently has about 16 million pounds on its account, which is only enough for Chelsea to support for another 17 days based on the next personnel expenses and team operating expenses. If, after 17 days, Chelsea have not resolved the issue of team ownership, it may fall into a situation of insufficient income, and if the club's financial situation does not meet the requirements of the Premier League, Chelsea will be deducted at least 9 points in the Premier League. At present, the Chelsea boss has been officially disqualified from the club director of the Premier League, it can be said that Chelsea is in an unprecedented predicament, and what will happen next, no one knows.
So what do the rest of the Premier League think about Chelsea's current predicament? Here, Bao Ge collected and sorted out the answers of the head coach of the Premier League BIG6 club when asked similar questions at a press conference.
Chelsea manager German Tuchel, who left Paris Saint-Germain in December 2020, was hired by Chelsea a month later as head coach and led Chelsea to the 2020-2021 Champions League. This season, he led Chelsea to qualify in the Champions League group and defeated Lille 2-0 at home in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, leading the team to win the Club World Cup, finishing runners-up in the League Cup, and now finishing third in the Premier League with 56 points and reaching the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.
At the press conference, in response to questions from reporters, Tuchel said: "The whole team is showing very, very good quality at the moment, and I am proud of it, in this case, they can still perform like this. Our attitude is right, our culture is right and the club is right, so we will move on. I believe that the relevant departments and responsible persons will find a solution that will allow us to continue to complete this season. As long as we have enough jerseys, as long as the bus has enough fuel, we will go to the game and we are still competitive, that's something that everyone can be sure of. When the storm comes, we must unite to endure the storm together and stay strong through the difficult times." So answer, face the pressure, dare to bear, the iron-blooded Blues, the wind and bones are still the same.
Tottenham's head coach, Italian Conte, was chelsea's manager in two seasons from 2016 to 2018, during which time he led Chelsea to the 2016-2017 Premier League and the 2017-2018 FA Cup. Currently leading Spurs to seventh in the Premier League with 45 points, he is at a critical moment in the battle for the top 4 in the league.
At the Tottenham press conference, when asked by a reporter about Conte's views on the current situation in Chelsea, Conte replied in crappy Italian English: "I am very sorry for what is happening now, it is a difficult time for all Chelsea players and for Tuchel, and it is also true for Chelsea fans. It is very important that I hope that this tension will end quickly and that there will be a peaceful resolution. I think the measures taken against Chelsea are wrong, it's not right.". Conte still has deep feelings for the team he once coached, feeling unfair about what they are now experiencing.
Manchester City manager Espanyol Guardiola, who has been in charge of Manchester City since July 2016, has led Manchester City to three Premier League titles and one FA Cup in five seasons, and the only two teams to steal the Premier League title from Manchester City are Chelsea and Liverpool. Guardiola led Manchester City to the Champions League quarter-finals this season and finished first in the Premier League with 69 points.
Guardiola replied at a press conference to the current situation that Manchester City's main rivals in the Premier League are facing: "I really don't have much to say about this, I don't know what the real reason for doing this to Chelsea is, and I don't know what will happen next. For Tuchel and the Chelsea players, it's tough now. It's uncomfortable and I feel sorry for them because they're working as well as they can, and I don't know the rest, we just have to wait." In fact, before that, Guardiola had a more direct statement about some recent events, and a truly objective and neutral view of what had happened could be called "human sobriety".
Arsenal manager Alteta Espanyol, retired from Arsenal during his playing career, followed Guardiola as an assistant coach at Manchester City and has been Arsenal manager since December 2019. He has led Arsenal's youth team to a strong rise in the Premier League this season, and is currently fourth in the Premier League with 48 points, and is very hopeful of qualifying for next season's Champions League.
Commenting on the difficulties Chelsea are facing at the moment, Arteta said: "[For Chelsea] this is a very difficult situation and I think Tuchel will handle the situation in the best possible way with the honesty and integrity he has always shown. Like he mentioned, try not to get too involved, the main responsibility of the player is to play well." Arteta is reluctant to say anything more about chelsea's encounter, and in addition to expressing cautious support for Tuchel, Arteta believes that it is enough to play well as a player.
Manchester United manager German Lonnick, after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal, became manchester United's interim manager in November 2021, and manchester United is currently fifth in the Premier League with 47 points, and the situation is not optimistic about qualifying for next season's Champions League.
Lonnick and Arteta have very similar attitudes towards what is happening at Chelsea now, saying: "I don't have enough sources to talk about what happened at Chelsea right now, I think from a larger perspective, what is happening now is a tragedy and I very much hope that in the next few days they will be able to find a solution to the problem". Lonnick has not explicitly expressed his support for Chelsea, but clearly he doesn't think the situation is a good thing. 、
Liverpool head coach Klopp, who has been Liverpool manager since 2015, has led Liverpool to a strong recovery, winning the 2018-2019 Champions League and the 2019-2020 Premier League. Having led Liverpool to the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season to win the Premier League Cup, Liverpool are currently second in the Premier League with 63 points.
Klopp's response to what Chelsea are currently suffering is somewhat surprising, saying: "I know Tuchel but I don't know him very well, we talk about some things related to the game and that's it. Of course, I have sympathy for him and his players, and for all the Staff at Chelsea, they shouldn't be held accountable for what's going on. I think that the person who is really responsible for this matter is the so-and-so, and this matter is caused by him. I don't know what the Chelsea boss has done all these years, but I think there are some things that have nothing to do with him. So I think the measures taken against Chelsea are very correct. While it makes chelsea staff and their supporters sound uncomfortable and I understand that, I still think the decision was the right one and I'm pretty sure.".
Can't you imagine that the first thing Klopp did was to break off relations with his compatriot Tuchel and start taking sides as a sports public figure, and at the same time, without certainty, he thought that Chelsea's club owners should be held accountable, and that Chelsea was now being taken as a matter of course.
What do you think about this?
