  • Las Cuatro Estaciones De Antonio Conte
    CLUBPERARNAU P 45 LAS CUATRO ESTACIONES DE ANTONIO CONTE Agustín Galán Antonio Conte ha conseguido en sólo una temporada implantar su propio estilo en el Chelsea, una tarea siempre complicada en el tradicionalista ecosistema de la Premier League. No sólo lo ha logrado, sino que el italiano también ha conseguido marcar la pauta en la competición hasta el punto de que el resto de entrenadores han ido asumiendo su libreto en mayor o menor medida intentando perseguir la estela de unos blues imparables a los que les costó arrancar, pero que después fueron imponiendo su velocidad de crucero a lo largo y ancho de los estadios ingleses, sabiendo adaptarse a las ventajas e inconvenientes que ha ido encontrándose en un año inusual en Stamford Bridge sin competición europea.

  • Fired-Up Mourinho Renews Battle with Conte's Chelsea
    Sports FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 2017 Northern giants clash with EPL return in sight MANCHESTER: It will be a Premier League game in all but name when Newcastle United face Leeds United at St James’ Park today, with two of the traditional powers of northern English football seeking a return to the top flight. Newcastle, relegated from the Premier League last season, are second in the Championship and well placed for an immediate return, while Leeds, in fifth place, will look to get through the play-offs and end their 13 years in the lower divisions. The two clubs have histories that make them known well beyond their pas- sionate local support bases. Both are both former champions of England, with Leeds having won the last title before the creation of the Premier League in 1992. They have both won European trophies - Leeds twice capturing the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, the forerunner MANCHESTER: Manchester United’s Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho (left) walks away as his players of today’s Europa League, while Newcastle won the same com- take part in a team training session at their Carrington base in Manchester, north west England. —AFP petition in 1969.

The financial troubles which caused the team’s relegation battle with Conte’s Chelsea from the top flight in 2004 were also to blame for a slump into the third tier (League One) for three seasons, until they returned to the Championship in 2007.

  • Wenger Seeking Solace in Quest for Seventh FA
    SPORTS SATURDAY, MAY 27, 2017 Luiz happy ‘home’ coming paid off COBHAM: Chelsea defender David Luiz admits he took a risk leaving Paris St Germain to come ‘home’ but as he pre- pares for the FA Cup final, having already won the Premier League, it’s a gamble which he believes has reaped divi- dends. The 30-year-old Brazilian was a firm favorite in Paris, an established and respected part of a successful team which won back-to-back domestic ‘trebles’ during his two-year stay in the French capital. That’s a contrast to his first spell at Chelsea when he was heavily criticized by television pundits for the poor quality of his defending-despite eventually being sold for a world record fee of £50million for a defender. So, it’s easy to question why he answered a call just ahead of the 2016/17 campaign to return to Stamford Bridge to a side managed by Antonio Conte who had been tasked with restoring morale after a turbulent season prior to that when they had gone from champions to finishing 10th. His return, was hardly greeted with celebrations either- certainly not outside of Stamford Bridge-and instead described as a panic buy by the home media. So Luiz can understand why many people wondered if he had made a mistake. “I was winning in Paris. I went to Paris for two LONDON: Arsenal’s French manager Arsene Wenger watches from the touchline during the English years and won all the titles in France and I had a great life,” he told journalists at the club Open Day head of today’s Premier League football match between Arsenal and Everton at the Emirates Stadium in London on May final against London rivals Arsenal.

  • Across the Pond
    ACROSS THE POND AN INTERVIEW WITH JOHN LOVETT TRANSCRIPT When did you start being a Chelsea fan? I started being a Chelsea fan when I was about 10 years old because I was living in South West London at the time. The choice was two teams: Fulham or Chelsea. Fulham played in white, Chelsea played in blue. My favourite colour is blue, as simple as that. How many times have you been to Stamford Bridge? I’ve been to Stamford Bridge many times, probably more than 200. What do you love about Stamford Bridge? What I love most about Stamford Bridge is the atmosphere, it’s incredible. Who is your favourite Chelsea player? My favourite Chelsea player would have to be John Terry, captain, leader, legend. Are you happy with the Spanish players? I am really happy. In the first 11 players on the pitch, we have 5 Spanish players and they are all fantastic players. ACROSS THE POND Who is your favourite manager? My favourite manager would be Antonio Conte, he’s brought the glory back to Chelsea. What’s your opinion about Jose Mourinho? Jose Mourinho, controversial guy, but I have to say I love him, our most successful manager. What’s your opinion about the owner Abramóvich? Abramóvich is a great owner. He’s passionate about the club and invests a lot of time and money. What’s the best moment you have ever lived with Chelsea? I have two moments I can remember. The first, winning the Premier League in 2005 and being part of the atmosphere and the second, Munich, 2012, winning the Champions League.
