THE LATEST ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE NEWS – Chelsea interim
manager Rafael Benitez can expect more jeers from the home crowd as fans firmly
stated that they would continue to show antagonism to the Spaniard.
Rafa, the man who led Liverpool to win w1th ease in matches
during his 2004-2010 reign at the club, has figured in previous bitter
situations against Chelsea, including an incident in which he accused ex-Blues
striker Didier Drogba of diving. The impending departures of Frank Lampard and
Ashley Cole – both being fan favourites, have reportedly increased the tension.
Trizia Fiorellino, chairperson of
the Chelsea Supporters’ Group, stated on behalf of the fans that they did not
want Rafa to become Roberto di Matteo’s replacement, nor have the Italian
replaced in the first place.

THE LATEST ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE NEWS – Chelsea owner
Roman Abramovich officially fired manager Roberto Di Matteo, following a
disappointing string of recent performances.
Di Matteo, the man who led Chelsea
to win the Champions League and FA Cup trophies last season, failed to direct
the club to win against Juventus, losing 3-0 as a result. The outcome could
lead them to become the first European champions to exit early in the next
season.
Pep Guardiola remains the favourite
to replace Di Matteo. The Spaniard led Barcelona to win w1th ease for numerous titles, including
the sextuple won in two seasons within 2009.
