AVB, 16th February 2012
"They don't have to back my project. It's the owner who backs my project."
Peter Cech, 21st February 2012
"He prepares every game with 100% commitment and we appreciate it as players, but if you have players on the pitch making mistakes he can't help it."
Branislav Ivanovic, 23rd February 2012
"I think this is more about Chelsea, more important than the relationship between managers and players. Chelsea has to be first for everybody, first for everyone, to get a result."
Frank Lampard, 25th February 2012
"There have been certain issues. Certain players, we don't like not to play, but it's never a case of players throwing their toys out of the pram to the detriment of the club."
Peter Cech, 28th February 2012
"Everyone has been talking about a meeting between the team and Abramovich. The truth is elsewhere and the picture of that meeting was distorted.''
AVB, 28th February 2012
"We have been through the Torres situation before with Shevchenko and Kezman."
David Luiz, 1st March 2012
"There are no privileged people there. He [Lampard] simply has to listen to the coach when he gives orders and take them. No player can forget that they are just an employee of the club."
Antonio Sanz, 1st March 2012
"I don't think Torres has a problem, it's just that Chelsea aren't helping him find his form."
I feel sorry for AVB to be honest. He does come across as a very nice guy who is going around doing his job but with players like Lampard, Terry, Cole, Malouda and Drogba around, he'll never be in charge entirely.
