Todd Boehly gives pre-match pep talk to Chelsea squad ahead of Real Madrid clash

According to the Telegraph, Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly gave the team a pre-game pep talk in which he discussed their "embarrassing" situation.

Since choosing Frank Lampard as their interim manager, Chelsea has dropped all three of their games. It appears as though Graham Potter's dismissal had no effect on how the squad performed.

Alarmingly, Brighton and Hove Albion outplayed them at Stamford Bridge and defeated them in the league on Saturday.

Todd Boehly gave a pre-match team talk to the Chelsea squad ahead of the Real Madrid clash.

Amidst the addressing of the embarrassing situation, Boehly tried to give his talk a positive tone by saying that they must overturn the two-goal deficit against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final to keep the season alive and give the fans something to be happy about.

The American did not hide himself in any glory when he predicted that Chelsea would beat Madrid 3-0 in the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. Instead, the European champions schooled the Blues and easily won by 2-0.

Hence, Lampard cannot set the team to go full throttle from the first minute. They need to stay in the tie for as long as possible before going for it with the help of the crowd.

While Boehly and his team have made some bizarre decisions during their first year in charge of the club, the players must take more responsibility for what has happened on the pitch. They cannot just hide away from some of the lacklustre displays we have seen throughout this season.

Inter have made the asking price clear for wingback Denzel Dumfries during the summer transfer window clear, with incoming Chelsea coach eyeing up a move for the Dutch World Cup star.

This according to Italian news outlet Repubblica.it, who report that the 27-year-old is a major target for the Argentine who is expected to take over at Stamford Bridge, and that the Nerazzurri would expect a fee of at least €40 million for his signature. Dumfries’s future at Inter has looked uncertain for some time now, with the 26-year-old former PSV man having been strongly linked as a possible sale during the summer transfer window should the Nerazzurri need to bring in cash from the market. The likes of Chelsea and Manchester United have been reported to be interested, whilst Barcelona have reportedly also enquired about the Dutchman for the summer transfer window. However, in March Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Dumfries is no longer a major target for Chelsea as he had been in the past. The situation at Stamford Bridge has been in flux, however, with Graham Potter removed as head coach just a few months after taking over, replaced with Frank Lampard on an interim basis.

Journalist Simon Phillips has suggested that Chelsea fans are losing their patience with £250k-a-week star.

According to journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea supporters are "losing their patience" with Joao Felix, according to GIVEMESPORT. When he first joined the team, the 23-year-old appeared to be an exciting signing, but he is having trouble scoring goals. Joao Felix: Chelsea news Felix, who reportedly makes £250,000 per week at Chelsea, transferred there on loan from Atletico Madrid of Spain during the January transfer window. It's been a difficult period for the Portuguese international, with the Blues not playing a system which suits the role he's predominantly played in his career. As per Transfermarkt, Felix has mostly played as a second striker during his time at Benfica and Atletico, but he's mainly been used off the left-hand side at Chelsea. Despite his difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge, it appears that both Felix and Chelsea want to continue together beyond this season. Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed this news but has st...

Chelsea will express their interest in signing Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana during their upcoming meeting with Inter Milan over Romelu Lukaku’s future, according to Evening Standard.

The newspaper claims Blues’ officials will travel to Italy next week to discuss the future of Lukaku, who is due to return to Chelsea in the summer when his loan deal expires at the end of the season. The Belgium striker moved to Inter on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea last summer and has impressed at the San Siro Stadium, scoring nine goals and registering three assists in 26 appearances across all competitions. The West Londoners are planning a summer clear-out in order to meet the Financial Fair Play requirements after spending £323m in the winter transfer window on eight new players as well as splashing out close to £300m last summer. However, bringing in a shot-stopper could be on the cards as they look to bolster their squad for next season. Edouard Mendy is expected to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the campaign after losing his first team place. The Senegal international has featured in only 11 games in all competitions having been hampered by in...
