Carragher criticizes Chelsea's strategy: has Boehly's model justified itself?.

According to The Sun: Expert Jamie Carragher doubts the progress of the "Chelsea" team under Todd Boehly, who became club president in 2022.

He expressed his opinion during the discussion of the "Blues" defeat to "Bayern" in the Champions League on Wednesday, which sparked outrage among his co-hosts.

The Liverpool legend was disappointed with the match result and criticized the lack of progress of the club in recent years, surprising co-hosts Thierry Henry and Kate Abdo.

Criticism and Controversy

He noted:

“There is no right or wrong way to run a football club to be successful, but you can't pretend that three and a half years in, this can be considered success.”

Carragher continued:

“They came into a club where the head coach was Thomas Tuchel, who won the Champions League.”

He also emphasized that "Chelsea" at that time was the third-best team in England; however, after the coaching change and spending £2 billion, they are now further away from their competitors.

Co-host Mika Richards could not believe what he heard and asked:

“But there was progress, right? If in the first season you finished 12th, then 6th, and then 4th.”

Discussion about the club's opportunities

Richards also reminded that "Chelsea" won two trophies last year, including the World Club Championship. To this, Carragher replied that these achievements do not mean much, considering a win in such a tournament as 'a minor trophy'.

“They beat the best team in Europe in tough conditions, so that can't be considered a success?”

Although soon both returned to friendly communication, their dispute left a noticeable impression on the viewers.
