Antonio Conte predicted this season would be “the most difficult season in my career” before a ball was even kicked. Now, with Chelsea struggling on all frontiers and in real danger of missing next season’s Champions League, the Italian seems to have been on the money. So what has gone wrong at Stamford Bridge? 去 年夏天,孔蒂发现自己在转会上束手束脚。这可 是他之前所没有预料到的,尤其是蓝军才刚刚拿 到联赛冠军。 自上赛季庆祝联赛夺冠之后,意大利人在边线上经常 展示出愤怒和沮丧交织的情绪,偶尔还会流露出忧伤的神 色。很多次,孔蒂公开要求切尔西董事会给予教练组更多 支持,然而不幸的是,他并没有直接接触俱乐部神秘而又 无情的老板——罗曼·阿布拉莫维奇的机会。 很多人会认为切尔西的董事,也是阿布拉莫维奇长期 信任的属下玛丽娜·格拉诺夫斯卡伊亚非常出色地完成了 转会任务。整个欧洲转会市场通货膨胀得难以置信,并且 谈判异常艰难,但格拉诺夫斯卡伊亚招募来阿尔瓦罗·莫 拉塔、巴卡约科、德林克沃特、鲁迪格和赞帕科斯塔, 总转会费为1.83亿英镑。与此同时,迭戈·科斯塔、马 蒂奇、内森·阿克、胡安·夸德拉多、贝格维奇和伯特兰 德·特劳雷被出售,总收入为1.57亿英镑。这意味着区区 2,600万英镑的投资,就为球队注入了新鲜血液。 然而问题在于,孔蒂并没有得到他真正想买的人。意 大利人长期观察的球员是罗梅卢·卢卡库、博努奇、桑德 罗和桑切斯。而这些球员中,有的拒绝了切尔西的邀请转 而投奔其他球队,有的是切尔西根本没有进入转会谈判。 A ntonio Conte found his hands very much tied in the transfer market last summer. It was a noose he hadn’t expected, particularly after the Blues had just claimed the Premier League title. Ever since last summer’s title celebrations, the Italianhas displayed a mix of fury and frustration, occasionally shared by a sense of sorrow on the sidelines. On multiple occasions Conte has publicly demanded more backing from the Chelsea board, but unfortunately he has no direct line to the club’s mysterious and ruthless owner, Roman Abramovich. Many would see the dealings of Chelsea director and Abramovich’s long-term trustee, Marina Granovskaia, last summer as stunningly impressive. In what was an incredibly inflated and difficult transfer market all across Europe, Granovskaia recruited Alvaro Morata, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Danny Drinkwater, Antonio Rudiger and Davide Zappacosta for a combined fee of £1.83 billion. In the meantime, Diego Costa, Nemanja Matic, Nathan Ake, Juan Cuadrado, Asmir Begovic and Bertrand Traore were sold for a fee of £1.57 billion. It was an infusion of new blood for a mere £26 million net investment.
