Former French footballer Frank Leboeuf made very critical comments against the current owner of Chelsea.
Frank Leboeuf, former emblematic Chelsea full-back, has said he is disgusted with the way the club is currently managed.
“They are going to kill Chelsea”
The Blues gained some respite by beating Brighton in midweek in the League Cup. Despite this favorable result, the French world champion is very worried about the team’s form in the Premier League, with this 14th place occupied in the standings.
“Let’s be realistic: Chelsea are a mid-table club,” he told CasinosEnLigne.com. “Attracting players will be difficult and players like (Kylian) Mbappé will not want to come. The big players want to play in the Champions League. Arsenal have had this problem for years, as have Manchester United. The best players will not come to Chelsea because the club has fallen.”
“It’s incredible what the club has become just two years after winning the Champions League. I’m disgusted by it. I have nothing against Todd Boehly, but they need to change things quickly or they will kill the club.”added Leboeuf in a very angry tone.
Over the past year, Chelsea have spent almost 1 billion euros on recruits without the team’s performance improving. For Leboeuf, this is unacceptable. “I would say the people in charge of recruiting are the most to blame. It’s good to sign young players on long term contracts if they are committed, but the board forgot to balance the team. The spine of the team is very young apart from (Thiago) Silva and there is not much experience there. Even Enzo Fernández looks very young, even though he knows the game by heart. »
