Chelsea boss, Luis Felipe Scolari, was involved in a bust-up with Nicolas Anelka during the training session before the Sunday’s game at Old Trafford against Manchester United.
News sources reported that Scolari asked Anelka to start the game against Red Devils only if he was willing to play on the left and it became the fuel to the heated row between the pair just before the important game, which the Blues eventually lost 3-0.
Anelka has been feeling the sore of being left out from the team in the last few matches after his place was taken by Didier Drogba. Frenchman became adamant, as he refused to accept the decision of his coach and wanted to stand up front.
Meanwhile, Scolari also has been feeling the heat with his players after they have started wondering, if the coaching style of the Brazilian actually works.
There are rumours that Chelsea board is losing their faith in ‘Big Phil’ as they are annoyed with his range of disciplinary measures and fines.
An official at Chelsea said, ‘Nothing is going well for Chelsea as everything is wrong. There has been a sudden outburst of questions regarding the management style of the Brazilian coach.’
To make matters worse, Chelsea got hammered by Manchester United on Sunday, as the Blues were outplayed by the home side in all departments of the game.
Scolari made his stand even worse after he said in a post match conference that there were two options left for him, either he sticks with the current players and they raise their playing standards or else he has to try different options.
