Roman Abramovich was always known to be a ruthless owner with managers of the club but back in the day, he also used to be just as harsh to the players, John Obi Mikel revealed.
Mikel told radio station Dubai eye that Roman Abramovich would come into the training ground during bad form with his translator before revealing that “he would start screaming at us in Russian”.
Once Abramovich had finished his rant, he would walk off and tell the players to go and start winning games again.
This philosophy you can imagine helped breed the consistent success over the years under the Russian’s ownership, the hard hitting facts of poor form could never have any excuses, Chelsea’s former owner believed you must win at all costs, no matter the cost.
In total, Chelsea won 19 trophies under Roman’s tenure and Boehly/Clearlake will be hoping to emulate that success in the future.
