Gus Poyet, the former Chelsea midfielder, has urged Blues owner Roman Abramovich to give Roberto Di Matteo the Chelsea http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 full time.
Di Matteo is currently only the interim manager at Chelsea and has not been offered a more permanent position, despite having led the Blues to the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League win this past season. His current contract with Chelsea will expire at the
end of June, after which he could leave the club if another agreement is not reached.
The Chelsea interim manager had a chance to catch up with his former teammates at the British Airways Football Legends Invitational Tournaments in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barbados-c2848. He met the likes of Poyet, Gianfranco Zola and Dennis Wise and all of them were of the opinion that
he deserved the manager’s position at the club.
Poyet said while speaking to reporters:
“It would be common sense that he will stay. I call him 'one of us', one of our generation - with so many managers.
Mark Hughes, Gianluca Vialli, Ruud Gullit, Robbie Di Matteo, Dennis Wise, Dan Petrescu, myself, Didier Deschamps - there are so many - 'Chappy' (Albert) Ferrer.”
According to the former Blues midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo deserved a chance to prove himself in a full season at the club. This season he took over from Andre Villas-Boas in mid-season after the young Portuguese boss was sacked following a poor string
of results.
He revealed:
“I'm not saying that we didn't have good managers at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. I mean, (Jose) Mourinho was different class. But give us a chance.”
As for Chelsea’s comparison to Barcelona, Poyet felt they were a completely different side and did not deserve to be compared to the La Liga giants. Having already defeated Barcelona on their way to the Champions League final, the Blues showed they were
the better side despite being able to retain possession.
Poyet continued:
“Everyone is compared with Barcelona. As soon as you pass the ball three times, you play like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. He likes to pass the ball, to keep the ball, to be in control, to do important things while you are in possession.”
