System J, I have followed your posts in this forum and that is why I am very wary of getting into an argument with you, however, I must defend my opinions.
1) Chelsea were not hammering teams 7-1 and 8-0 almost every weekend. It was more like a 3-4 goal differential. This does not take away from your point as 3-4 goals is still huge.
2) When a team is 2-0 up, it is very easy to capitalize on that scoreline and go crazy.
3) I would very much worry about Pep being a bad fit since the guy is so set in his "philosophy" when a good coach should be able to adapt to whatever team he is managing.
4) There is a huge chance he goes to Chelsea (unfortunately) considering the timing of his departure and the influence of his treasure chest of a transfer budget and sizable salary.
5) fuck off calling my opinion cliche. If anything jumping on the barca bandwagon is cliche. Asshole. |
In that season they recorded the following heavy scorelines: 5-0, 5-0, 7-2, 7-1, 7-0 and 8-0, scoring a total of 103 goals. They broke records for most goals in the club's history, most goals in a season, best goal difference and became the first side to score 7 or more goals four times in one season. They also started the following season by winning 6-0 twice.
Carlo Ancelotti didn't just turn Chelsea into an attacking side, he turned them into arguably the most attacking side in the history of English football. Chelsea didn't want to change to an attacking style of football, because they already were playing ultra-attacking football. The sacking of Ancelotti and the hiring of AVB was nonsensical and idiotic in the extreme, but AVB did not make Chelsea more attacking, nor did he even try to.
And Guardiola is just not going to Chelsea. It hasn't happening. He's said so himself:
quote: | "I'm not interested in coaching now. There are more things than football.
"I have never met with Roman Abramovich nor any Chelsea representative, I have always respected this club.
"I will rest and maybe one day I will say, now let's train. Maybe not. Let's see where life takes me. My desire is to do other things.
"I don't have anything to prove. I'm not interested in proving myself abroad and will go away from football at the moment. I have nothing left and need to recharge my batteries." |

The Barcelona president already tried to keep him at the club by offering unlimited funds to rebuild the squad, and Guardiola still left. He's not going to Chelsea just for the money. It isn't happening.
I will continue to call your opinions clichéd because they have nothing to do with the facts and everything to do with popular misconceptions: Chelsea are defensive, Barcelona are easy to manage, Guardiola would be attracted by infinite transfer funds/salary. You quite simply aren't paying enough attention.
