Cesc Fàbregas: I don't want to say that Eden Hazard was Chelsea's best player in history, but his talent was huge. Definitely the most talented Chelsea player I've ever seen. ✅🇧🇪
"I played alongside him for 5 years and almost immediately upon my arrival it was clear that this would be our new Messi." Over time, he proved that I was right with his performance on the field. ”
"The craziest thing about it all was that he only enjoyed football." Others tried to impress the coach every day at training and he sometimes couldn't even tie his boots. He didn't feel like running, he was just joking and laughing. The match came and was a mile ahead of all the players. This kind of talent I have only seen in Messi and Hazard, it was unbelievable.”
I don't blame Liam Rosenior at all.
I blame whoever hired Liam Rosenior.
I blame whoever sacked Thomas Tuchel for no reason.
I blame whoever sacked Enzo Maresca.
I Blame whoever signed Alejandro Garnacho
I blame whoever Signed Liam Delap.

Rosenior and Potter basically have had identical tenures.
Come to replace a manager that shouldn’t have been sacked (Tuchel, Maresca).
Start off undefeated, seem semi-serious.
Collapse and play hideous football, but won’t get sacked because the board can’t swallow their pride of saying that replacing the previous manager was a bad decision.
Oh by the way, Chelsea have still been outrun by every single Premier League team in every single Premier League game this season. That is a staggering 33-game run by #CFC. Almost impressive.
John Terry: "When we were going to play against Barcelona, my son asked me for a signed Messi shirt, and I promised I'd get it for him. From the start of the match, I wasn't thinking about winning or losing or anything else, just about Messi's shirt. I told my teammates not to ask for it.
"When the game ended, I went over to him and asked for the shirt, and he didn't hesitate to give it to me; he even asked for mine in return. What humility! But as I entered the tunnel, I remembered that my son had asked me for his autograph. I felt really disappointed and went to Barcelona's dressing room, but they told me it was off-limits. I waited, and suddenly Messi appeared, walked toward me smiling, and said, 'Do you want my boots too?' [Laughs] I smiled and told him, 'I won't be able to go home tonight if you don't sign this shirt for my son, I promised him.'
"The funny thing is, I didn't bring a pen. I went to find one, and when I came back, I found Leo still there waiting for me, even though his teammates had already left for the bus. He signed it, and I told him, 'Thank you, and sorry for keeping you late.' With respect, he said, 'It's okay. I don't want your son to be disappointed, and also for you, because otherwise, you'd be sleeping outside tonight.' [Laughs]
"I've played my entire career and have never seen a player as humble as Messi. The best in history, with extra humility. These are the kinds of things you only see in a player named Messi."
🚨 LATEST: Luka Modric says Ngolo Kante is the toughest opponent he has faced
"It has to be N'Golo Kanté. I’ve played against many great midfielders, but with him it’s different. You think you’ve escaped him, then suddenly he’s there again taking the ball. It’s like playing against a player who never gets tired.
I remember the UCL 2020–21 semi-final — those two games were very difficult for us. Every time I tried to control the tempo, Kanté was there pressing, intercepting, and starting attacks. Even when we tried to move the ball quicker, he still found a way to recover it. It felt like he was everywhere on the pitch at once
Sometimes I looked up and thought there must be two of him on the field."
🗣️ Marco Materazzi: "I do not know if they have the best manager for what Chelsea need right now. They have to try for Cesc Fabregas this summer.
I can see Chelsea in the future for Fabregas. Why not? Chelsea are the best club for Fabregas because they have young players who will follow his words immediately."
