Memory Lane
He had Won Uefa Europa league, Portuguese super Cup, Portuguese Cup, and The Portuguese league with more than 20points ahead of the second Placed Benefica. His name, Andre Villas Boas the coach of Porto. His success led him to the hottest seat on earth at Chelsea. The year was 2012. Previously he had been touted as the best upcoming manager after The Chelsea god himself Mourinho... but Chelsea, it's fans and it's Owner were different beasts.
After a string of poor performances, Chelsea visited Napoli for the UEFA 2012 champions league. A do or die for the manager. Chelsea lost 1-3 and that evening Roman pulled the trigger and the Andre was gone. In his position a relatively green horn Roberto Di Mateo was elevated albeit on initial caretaker Basis.
Return leg where away goals virtually mattered was at the Bridge. Drogba and Terry Scored. ..2-0. with this scoreline, Chelsea qualifies through away goals. In the 55th Min however Gokhan Inler silences the bridge with a goal. We score to level or we out. 75th minute Napoli handles in the box, Lampard with the whole pressure steps in and convert. Its level. 3-3 aggregate. Napoli score a goal from here and things get complicated as we will need two more to progress.. So we hold on. Then.... On 105th minute Ivanovich puts in a shot. It ends 4-1. Chelsea are through to the quarter finals. That year we ended up winning our first Champions league cup. It was a story of belief, sweat, death and resurrection.
Facing the same situation today, you can argues Di Mateo was fairly inexperienced compared to Potter. But the results was more down to the players. The mentality, the attitude, the desire
Today , it's the turn for the current players to curve their legendary stories that will live through Chelsea folklore.
Success and failure is in the head, the heart and the Legs.
