Buat penggemar chelski...
Tantangan terbesar ancelloti adalah bahasa (seperti juga scolari) dan ego
pemain senior. Tiap pemain punya agenda tersendiri. Masing-masing merasa
besar dan ini kesalahan roman main borong dengan harga mahal sehingga pemain
yang sebenarnya overated dan overvalued dan berubah menjadi "superstar"
berkat topangan pers dan sistem yang dibuat roman/chelsea. Akhirnya mereka
menjadi ga bisa disentuh. Sebagai contoh: pelatih yang katanya hebat macam
hiddink (dia juga kontroversial. Ada yang memandang dengan kritis,
keberhasilan hiddink terlalu dibesar-besarkan) apa berani dia ga memasang
john terry dan memilih carvalho dan alex yang sebenarnya punya kualitas
lebih? Kenapa scolari tempo hari ga memanfaatkan quaresma dan malah lebih
percaya kepada malouda atau kalou?

Scolari dan hiddink pilih main aman. Ikutin aja sistem yang udah ada. Poles
sana sini. Scolari ga dibackup big boss. Permintaannya untuk robinho disabut
pada menit terakhir. Hiddink lebih berhasil karena dia disupport roman dan
bahasanya lumayan. Gimana dengan ancellotti  yang 200% dibackup roman?
Dugaan gw, kalo dia gagal, roman malu besar. Dan akhirnya menjual chelsea.

It is just as well that, even accounting for his huge losses over the past
year, Roman Abramovich is still worth $7.5 billion (about £4.6 billion),
because he would be absolutely useless on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? The
Chelsea owner would soon run out of lifelines, because he is forever phoning
a friend.

Every time Abramovich finds himself in trouble he opens his address book.
Avram Grant, Guus Hiddink and now Carlo Ancelotti have answered the call
that is guaranteed to make them countless millions themselves, but Chelsea
are yet to become what Abramovich claims he wants: a well-run,
self-financing and mature football club.

Abramovich could point out that the only time he has departed from his
head-hunting template since dispensing with José Mourinho — the recruitment
of Luiz Felipe Scolari last summer — the result was an unmitigated disaster.
The Russian blamed others for appointing Scolari against his initial wishes,
but can have no such excuses if Ancelotti also fails to cut it in the
ultra-competitive Barclays Premier League. The Italian is very much the
boss’s man.

Grant and Hiddink achieved varying levels of success in the short term, thus
vindicating Abramovich’s judgment, but Ancelotti’s task will be far harder
because he is expected to deliver consistently on a long-term basis. His
biggest problem will be following the remarkable Hiddink.

The Dutchman made the job look easy, although, in reality, it is anything
but — and is likely to become even more difficult next season. Manchester
United will be as formidable opponents as ever, Liverpool and Arsenal should
be stronger, while big-spending Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur will
also be on the march.

Ancelotti’s situation is compounded by being a very different man, with a
contrasting CV, when compared to Hiddink. The Dutchman is the ultimate hired
hand, having been employed all over the world on a variety of short-term
projects, while Ancelotti is a virtual hermit, who still lives on the farm
on which he was brought up in Reggiolo, in north Italy, and has not worked
outside his native country.

One obvious area of weakness is his English, which as David Beckham told
Chelsea’s England contingent in the team hotel last night, remains extremely
limited. This handicap is more significant than many realise, with many
Chelsea players commenting that Scolari’s inability to get his ideas across
clearly brought his downfall.

Another of the problems facing Ancelotti that Hiddink did not have to
contend with is the pressure inherent in the post. His future will be
questioned after only a couple of bad results.

The Italian also has a couple of football-related problems to address, most
notably the need to overhaul a squad that is the oldest of England’s
Champions League clubs.

What to do with Didier Drogba — the Ivory Coast striker is now 31 — will be
the first item on his agenda, with the answer providing the key to which
other players he sells and buys.

Ancelotti will also need to take command of a dressing room containing
powerful players who have the ear of the owner, an unhealthy situation that
has contributed to several managerial departures. “We all have egos and it’s
not easy to deal with it,” as Drogba put it yesterday with some
understatement.

Drogba also suggested that the new manager should be given time to prove
himself, although history indicates that is a forlorn hope. Ancelotti will
have racked up the best part of £1 million in wages by the time the season
starts in August, but his stay in London has the potential to be shorter
than the average quiz show.
