🗣️Roman Abramovich on Chelsea football club:
When I look back at Chelsea, I don’t just see a football club I see a part of my life. From the moment I arrived, my intention was clear: to build something special, something winning, something the supporters could be proud of. Chelsea gave me emotions I can’t fully explain the joy of trophies, the pain of defeats, the pressure, the passion. It was never just business to me.
Being forced to sell the club was heartbreaking. I didn’t leave because I wanted to; I left because I had no choice. I know many fans cried that day, and I felt the same pain. It felt like losing family. Chelsea was taken away from me, and that hurt deeply.
Watching Chelsea now is difficult at times. The club I knew was built on clear standards, ambition, and a strong identity. It’s sad to see uncertainty where there was once confidence. Still, my love for Chelsea has never changed. I still watch the matches. I still care. Distance does not erase connection.
No matter what happens, Chelsea will always be part of me. What we built together, the trophies, the memories, the belief can never be taken away. I’ll always be a Blue.🥺💙
