Jose was a LEGEND for Chelsea and Portugal!
Didier Drogba has revealed that Bosingwa was an important piece of the puzzle that allows Chelsea to win the Champions League final.
He said that the Portuguese defender was determined to win the game and was ready to play in any position in order to help the team.
Chelsea was down to ten men in the Champions League semi-final when John Terry was sent off for fouling Alexis Sanchez.
John Obi Mikel has stated that he is not helping his teammates financially contrary to some media reports.
Indeed some rumors said that the Nigerian player has been giving money from his personal account to his teammates.
John Obi Mikel is currently in Brazil where he will be participating with Nigeria in the Olympic football tournament. The Olympic rules allow some overage players to be selected, and John Obi Mikel is one of them for Nigeria.
Chelsea skipper John Terry was handed a one year deal after reports that the star player was set to leave the club this summer.
Reports now from London points to the reason that the club didn’t have a succession in place, hence the one year extension he got.
Chelsea and Real Madrid are among the top clubs that rely on players from other academies or established players to join their squad. The lack of planning for the team, mostly due to regular change in head coaches left the team with no future plans.
Jose Bosingwa is set to leave Turkish club Trabzonzpor in the coming season upon poor performance, according to reports.
The Portuguese defender joined the club from Queen Park Rangers in the summer of 2013 on a free transfer. He has been having issues with playing at the current club and was released in the later part of last season. In January this year, he was rehired by the Turkish Super Ligue club to join its team but the club has not made an offer to retain him for his services in the coming season.
Former Chelsea striker, Didier Drogba revealed that his former team mate, Jose Bosingwa, was behind the success of the UEFA Champions League win while at Stamford Bridge.
The Ivorian skipper said the Portuguese defender was the mastermind of the club’s famous 2012 Champions League win.
Bosingwa currently with Turkish side, Trabzonspor, played for the EPL giant, Chelsea, from the 2008/2009 to the 2012/2013 season when he left on free transfer to fellow English side, Queen Park Rangers.
The Portuguese defender, though with a year contract extension option, will end his current contract with the club this summer. Bosingwa has struggled with fitness with the club since leaving QPR and will likely see to the end of his career in Turkey.
The Champions League win that has occurred shows that Jose Bosingwa was the main player to have made the win.
He had played as a center back at the Nou Camp. Didier Drogba made the revelation that Jose was the main reason behind the win.
It’s no wonder then that Jose held up the trophy when the finals came and Chelsea became the winner. Jose was the defender in the 2012 game that brought the team their victory. Being of Portuguese origin, he had played a vital role in the second leg of the semifinal game where the team played against Barcelona. All this and more has been revealed by Drogba, who is writing Jose’s autobiography.
Jose Bosingwa originally joined Trabzonspor back on July of 2013 as he penned a 3 year long contract with the Turkish club and he went on to make over 50 appearances in 2 seasons but his time with Trabzonspor ended sooner than expected as Bosingwa left the club on November of 2015 after not being paid in wages.
Even though Bosingwa appeared to have made his way out of Trabzonspor in bad terms after claiming that he wasn’t paid his salary, it seems like the veteran defender still has a close relationship with the club as he made his return to the Turkish club in a transfer that was completed during the January transfer window, only 2 months after Bosingwa had left Trabzsonspor.
Gary Neville reckons that the Three Lions were bound to suffer a bit of failure during the transition phase that they were going through over the last 3-4 years and thus, what came off in Brazil in 2014 was not a total surprise.
Neville considers the team as more settled now and believes the results might be good in the Euros.
English could not get through the group stage in Brazil which had angered and disappointed the fans back home.
But, Neville is not of the view that anything big should have been expected off England in World Cup.
According to him, the England squad that had gone into World Cup was a group getting transitioned and had not had too much of experience of big level Football.
After only being able to win 8 Premier League matches in the 2014-15 season, Queens Park Rangers were relegated and now will now be competing in the English Championship League and Chris Ramsey is preparing his team for the upcoming season as he has made a number of changes not only within his squad but also in his managerial coaching staff.
When it comes to the coaching staff, Steve Gallen was added to the first-team coaching staff. Gallen has been working with the youth academy team since 1997 but will now be having a more direct connection with the main team as he was promoted and is going to be working alongside Chris Ramsey.
Jose Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge was a hugely successful one for the Portuguese coach as pushed Chelsea to their 5th Premier League title as the English team looked strong from the start of the 2014-15 season till the very end and the Capital One Cup was also secured by Chelsea in that same season.
Following this success, it comes as no surprise to know that Jose Mourinho has signed a contract extension with Chelsea. Mourinho inked a new contract with Chelsea which will allow him to earn£8.5m per season salary which actually isn’t any increase from his previous contract. The rest of the coaching staff of Chelsea have also signed a contract extension for that same period of time.
