We're about to enter the Chelsea era
By Matt Hughes, Evening Standard, in Valencia
9 December 2004
(節選)
Ranieri is currently struggling to come to terms with Valencia's elimination
from the Champions League but will be back in the capital on Sunday to watch
his old club for the first time. The prospect of Mourinho bending his ear
before the game is about as likely as David Blunkett and Kimberly Quinn getting
together to watch it on television, but for now at least Ranieri has one scalp
his successor cannot claim - Arsenal.
Over lunch in his favourite Valencia restaurant, Ranieri reflects on his
greatest night in football and offers his observations on how Chelsea can
collect another derby victory.
He said: "We knew very well that Arsenal had three top, top players -
Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Robert Pires - and we had to stop them
playing. I wanted to fight with them face to face, not sit back and wait to
see what was going to happen. You have to play football against Arsenal and
if you sit back and defend they will punish you.
"I knew we'd beat them sooner or later and when I saw the Champions League
draw I thought this could be the moment. When they beat us in the league I
told Roman Abramovich that the moment would come and eventually I was right.
"All the matches against Arsenal were very close - 2-2, 1-2, 1-1 - and we
were frequently ahead. All the players were sure they were going to do
something special. Everyone was united and after the draw at home we knew
we'd win. The atmosphere before, during and after the match was incredible.
"The day after the match people grabbed me on the street - "Hey Claudio, we
did it!" - and it was like we'd won a trophy. I know English people are very
cold but they were hugging me in the street so it was a fantastic feeling."
Ranieri led Chelsea to second in the Premiership and the Champions League
semi-finals last season and is certain they have all the qualities to dominate
English football for years.
He said: "Football is cyclical. There was the Manchester United cycle, the
Arsenal cycle and the Chelsea cycle is coming. They can do what Manchester
and Arsenal have done over the last few years. It's the right moment for
Chelsea as Manchester are rebuilding and Arsenal's mind is on the Champions
League, which is a constant distraction for them.
"Football is magical and some things you cannot explain. In my opinion,
Arsenal should reach the semi-finals every year and after that it's down
to luck, but it's never happened. No one can explain it. Not even Arsene
Wenger knows the answer. They have so many good players and many world
champions,but some things you cannot explain. Remember when Italy knocked
Brazil out of the World Cup [in 1982]? It was impossible but it happened."
Chelsea have not won the league since 1955, but Ranieri believes they can
achieve a Premiership and Champions League double this season.
He said: "Chelsea must be one of the favourites for the Champions League
because Mourinho has won it before and my players had a good experience
last year. It's possible for them to win the Champions League and the
Premiership,why not?
"Chelsea are very strong. We did a very good job last year, putting the
foundations in place and they're continuing to progress. I believe they will
win the Premiership this season. I've never gambled in my life but if you
told me to go to the bookmakers I'd gamble on Chelsea."
It was Ranieri's one footballing gamble, an outrageous tactical punt amid
the casinos of Monaco, that cost him his job but there is no doubt he is
partly responsible for Chelsea's current strength. The spine of Ranieri's
side remains intact and his contribution-may have been even greater than
was previously known, as he claims credit for the signings of
Arjen Robben and Didier Drogba.
He said: "I was very happy Chelsea got Drogba because in my last meeting with
Abramovich in Milan I said he should sign him. He wanted to know my ideas for
new players and I said get Drogba, another central defender and Steven Gerrard.
"It was my idea to sign Robben and I met him in Eindhoven. I'd watched a lot
of videos of him and was very impressed. I'm not surprised by his success and
when I met him I was sure straight away. I told him he could play on the left,
on the right and he could swap with Damien Duff. I knew very well they could
play toge ther. They are both very quick, can score goals and can pass the
ball.
"Robben can grow to become the best player in the world but he's young and
I don't want to put too much pressure on him.
"He asked my ideas about football and I told him I wanted him to be the key
to open the door. He has everything, like Duff. When he signed I thought
fantastic,'I have two Damien Duffs!' My mother was very happy!"
If her son describes a Chelsea win on Sunday then Renata Ranieri, watching
at home in Rome, will be even happier.
再給拉老多點時間吧....
他在切爾西的成功絕對看得見,只是得給他時間
