The most interesting news of late is former Chelsea boss and premier league winner in 2009-2010 Carlo Ancelotti claimed that he really wanted to kill a player at Chelsea.
Under Roman Abramovich, Chelsea have changed managers for fun. The reasons behind the alterations have mainly been on field results but the on field results are also influenced heavily by off field incidents.
Ancelotti claims that a manager’s success is down to relationship with his players. The real question still remains un-answered i.e. Who did Ancelotti actually want to kill.
Who could have been such a trouble maker that Ancelotti just barely resisted his desire to take that player’s life. I’d argue on two, was it Torres or Terry?
Fernando Torres signed for Chelsea when they were in difficult times. A club record fee and surely everyone expected him to bang goals like he did for Liverpool immediately.
However, he took more than 10 games to score his first goal for the Blues.
Torres’s disciplinary record has always been clean but it is believed that perhaps failure to utilize Torres effectively cost Carlo his job.
Understandably, Torres was frustrated and sulking in the start, to an extent that Ancelotti had to either bench him or take him off the field in every game. Did a record signing, frustrated Torres frustrate his manager to the limit?
John Terry, the captain of Chelsea has been in the limelight for many wrong reasons over the year as well.
As per reports, Terry is the man who had most problems with Chelsea managers. Former star, Makalele claimed that it was a row between Terry and Mourinho that led to Portuguese coach’s departure from Stamford Bridge in 2007.
There were also reports that Terry had rift with Andre Villas Boas as well although he denied it.
Hence, was it Terry who caused that much trouble for Ancelotti to an extent that the Italian wanted to murder him?

It was Anelka.
Last week, Ancelotti named Terry in his choice team of the very best players he’s ever managed at all his clubs. Seems unlikely he’d name someone he wanted to “kill” as the best he’s worked with.
If the writer of this inane article had any knowledge of his subject matter, he might avoid writing such a lot of tripe.
that was Anelka
It was lampard
it was torres because of the record signing and not performing,while the owner of chelsea wanted him to play
Dumb, He did not mean Literally KILL, i though you guys are the English speakers, Kill in football sense meaning not, never playing the guy, roasting this player on the bench, read his full statement, Clubs own players
Nobbi, read this and make whatever sense you want
Ancelotti said
“We’ve never had any problems with the players, just one time at Chelsea. One player didn’t show respect and I tried to kill him, but it wasn’t possible. The player is the property of the club, and sometimes you cannot do what you want.”
Roasting a player to BENCH…come on , Ancelotti is doing that to CASILLAS, so there is a clear difference
