“Too much interference,” Ferdinand insisted on the Youtube channel Vibe with FIVE.
“From what I hear, the owners of this club are too focused on tactical and technical matters, which should be left to a manager,” continued Ferdinand.
On Boehly wanting Chelsea to play with a ‘4-4-3’, Ferdinand responded: “That’s a story that reaches me too.”
“I heard the news, the Chelsea owners are trying to influence the selection of players and when you get to that point you start to understand why a manager has some pushes.”
“Tuchel, with his personality and character, obviously won’t accept that. Some might stick with the new owners, but Tuchel doesn’t. Why let him have the money? [untuk belanja di bursa transfer] if you knew you’d finally get rid of him?” Ferdinand said.
