Scolari, who was sacked by Chelsea after only 7 months at the club, revealed to a Brazilian TV station some of the players were “difficult to control” and that Michael Ballack and signing Deco didn’t even talk to each other:
“I didn’t leave Chelsea because of sabotage from the players but it is true that it was difficult to control the dressing room.”
“Drogba believed he was the star in the squad and I did have conflicts with him…I also wanted Abramovich to change Drogba for Adriano at Inter because he was easier to control than Drogba.”
“I wanted Deco to work it out with Ballack but it wasn’t possible. They didn’t speak.”
