Short Talk:

I've been given 10 pairs of match tickets and 30 pairs of training passes to giveaway when Chelsea F.C. comes to town.

To win the tix, just write a blog entry about Chelsea's tour to Malaysia, e-mail me at contest@kennysia.com and I'll give them to ya for free!


A Shot At Scolari

The fever has barely died down weeks after Spain became Euro 2008 champion, and already football fans have something to look forward to.

One of the biggest clubs in the English Premier League, Chelsea Football Club is coming to Malaysia.

All the stars: Michael Ballack, Ashley Cole, Joe Cole, John Terry, newly-signed Deco are all likely to coming to Shah Alam Stadium as part of their pre-season Asian tour.

And here's the kicker (no pun intended).

ProEvents, the company responsible for bringing Chelsea to Malaysia is asking me to speak to all-time legendary football manager and Chelsea's new coach, Luiz Felipe Scolari.

My phone interview with Big Phil is scheduled to be on the 21st July, when he brings The Blues to Guangzhou, China to play against the Chinese national team.

This to me, is an opportunity of a lifetime. It is not gonna be easy interviewing the legend who has been in football for so long, and done so much, including bringing Brazil the World Cup. How am I gonna start the interview?

Which is why I am putting the call out there to all kennysia.com readers.

Please help me interview the Chelsea coach Felipe Scolari.

Leave me a comment with your questions. On the 21st July, when I get my chance to talk to Felipe Scolari. I'll ask the question on your behalf.

As a token of my appreciation, 12 of you who asked the best questions will be rewarded with two match tickets to watch Chelsea vs Malaysia at the Shah Alam Stadium on the 29th July.

So here's your chance to ask Scolari everything that you ever wanted to know about him, football, or the EPL in general. You can ask him anything you want.

Which player does Scolari wanna recruit the most?

Why do football coaches do that funny dance everytime their player made a mistake?

And why do football players always run away so fast after they scored a goal?

Is it because when they SCORE, they must LARI? Is that why his name is also SCOLARI?

Please help me interview Scolari. You ask the questions, I'll pass it on and I'll give you some free match tickets.

Go on, the floor is yours!

my question to Big Phil: Everyone knows that the EPL is one of the toughest league in the world with managers constantly under pressure. what, besides the lucrative money that chelsea offers, made you take the jump to england?

Q2: are you gonna use the rotation method like Liverpool does? since there have lots of talented midfielder now.

Posted by: McPeace at 07 July 2008 2:50 AM | Link to comment

My questions to Scolari:

Can you turn the Chelsea team into treble winners in your first season?

Do you consider Chelsea as potential Champions League or EPL winners?

Can you turn Chelsea into a team that will beat the other 'Big Four' in EPL?

Which of the other EPL 'Big Four' do you think is going to be hard to beat?

Which team do you think is the team to beat in EPL?

Will you make a new captain or just stay with John Terry?

that would be all..
btw..UNITED ROCKS!!

(1) Knowing that this trip to the Far East is something that is not really within your control, what are your objectives from these 3 matches in the Far East, especially since these are the first few matches that you will be along the touchlines as manager of Chelsea?

Posted by: RChen at 07 July 2008 4:20 AM | Link to comment

(2) On a personal level, how have you been preparing yourself, physically, mentally and/or otherwise, for the day-in, day-out activities of club football, especially since you have been away from club football management for quite some time?

Posted by: RChen at 07 July 2008 4:20 AM | Link to comment

(3) I know that the rumour mills since the end of the 07/08 season has been "which top player(s) will Chelsea spend and sign the coming (08/09) season?", but I wonder if Mr. Scolari, having caught a glimpse of the Chelsea Reserves and the Youth team (I hope!), has been impressed with any young Chelsea player(s) enough to earmark him/them for the first team in the games to come?

Dear Mr.Scolari,

My home team, Sarawak FC was previously one of the greater teams in Malaysian football. Currently this team is in a very sorry state due to lack of funding, corruption and other management issues. From your experience, what is the most fundamenta to create a succesful team? And if you don't mind, can we borrow your Michael Ballack for a few matches?

Plssss....

Posted by: wkng at 07 July 2008 10:06 AM | Link to comment

Dear Mr Scolari,

Many people label you as a mercenary, coaching just for money rather than for the love of the game. And you yourself money was the motivating factor for your move to Chelsea. What do you have to say about that?

Also, do you agree with the general opinion that it was wrong for you to announce your transfer to Chelsea in the midst of Portugal's Euro 2008 Campaign? That it was a distraction and ultimately a factor in Portugal's lacklastre performance in the game in which they were knocked out?

Posted by: as at 07 July 2008 10:18 AM | Link to comment

well i have 2questions..

1. What would you like to achieve as the Manager of Chelsea after they have been so close in winning the Champions League and the Premier League? Certainly Jose Mourinho is a tough act to follow but do you think you can top what he has achieved at Chelsea.

2. As a former coach of Brazil..and the recent signing of Deco(Brazilian). Are you trying to add a little samba flavor into the Chelsea style of playing?

Posted by: Thavaraj at 07 July 2008 12:04 PM | Link to comment

Question for Scolari :
1) There are talks of Lampard jumping ship, are you willing to keep him?
2) If you do, will he still lead the line with the arrival of Deco and others like Ballack and Makalele
3) If he leaves, are you going to bring Ronaldinho in or survive with your current team?
4) What deal have you made with the Roman? Is he allowed to decide his team or do you have the last say?
5) What preferred formation will you be using here in Malaysia?
6) What do you think the scoreline will be between Chelsea and Malaysia?
7) If the Malaysian win, will you be sacked?
8) Have you been sacked before?
9) Welcome to the Roman World, you scoundrel! You made Ronaldo think of leaving MU. You dirty a**hole!

Thank you.

Firstly Kenny, please congrats Mr. Scolari for being appointed as the new manager of Chelsea.

My Q:
1. Being fielded with loads of high quality midfielders like (Frank)Lampard, (Micheal)Ballack, (Micheal)Essien, Joe Cole, Deco, Makelele and with the rumours of the signing of Ronaldinho, how do you think you can get the maximum out from them in your squad?

2. How do you think about the future of the striker (Didier)Drogba? Are you considering him to stay for another season? And who you think the best to replace him if he happen to leave?

3. After leaving the club management for nearly about decade long, how far do you think you can bring Chelsea in the first season?

4. Do you consider language barrier is a problem for you among the players? Do you think you need a translator for your job?

5. What are the targets that you've set for your first season in Chelsea?

6. How far do you think that your players can get benefits from this tour?

Kenny, thanks for offering this..

Question: Mr.Scolari, are you in any way related to Dr.Phil (from the U.S. show)? Your moustache is sexier than his by the way. :)

Posted by: Bumper at 07 July 2008 12:43 PM | Link to comment

my question to Scolari is
"Do you think that there are any player in Malaysia's team that has the prospect to play for Chelsea?"

Big Phil, what will you say as your greatest achievement in football?

Posted by: adrian at 07 July 2008 12:58 PM | Link to comment

Kenny,

My question to Scolari is :
1. What is your best experience with Chelsea

2. What is ur worst

3. If given a chance which team do you wish to lead in the future?

My Question : What is your plan to win the Premier league and UEFA Champions League?

Posted by: Sadiq at 07 July 2008 1:05 PM | Link to comment

Hi Kenny,

A question for Scolari,

1.Having no experience at all in English Football, how will your non-english experience take the premiership crown from Sir Alex's Man United?

2. Chelsea did well last season even though they did not win any trophies. It was clear that Avram Grant did not do much as the Chelsea team is already build on a foundation laid by Jose Mourinho. Are you looking to destroy Mourinho's foundation and re-build it or are you looking to go along with the current squad and adding/removing some players along the way?

3. Do you think the current Chelsea squad plays boring football?

Couldn't match Chelsea's offer ?

2) Do you expect yourself to look for a new club come next Summer ?

3) Do you welcome a 2008/09 Champions League final between Chelsea and Inter Milan which is currently managed by Jose Mourinho ?

Q:

Big Phil, you obviously dont consider other peoples opinion on squad selection. You proved it when you snubbed Romario from the '02 Brazilian world cup squad. There are obviously some 'old-dogs' within the Chelsea squad now who probably wouldnt be there if not for Abramovich. Are you prepared to snub them again, and i'm assuming your answer to be Yes, since you dont care what other people think but Abramovich isnt exactly 'other people', is he?

Posted by: tj at 07 July 2008 1:59 PM | Link to comment

1. Are you going to continue using Chelsea's tried and trusted formation of 4-3-3?

2. Is it true that Makelele has past his best and is leaving the club?

3. How do you accomodate both Deco, Ballack and Lampard in the same team? And for that matter, Mikel , Essien and Makelele(provided he's not leaving)?

And the last question, do you think this is Liverpool's year? LOL!!

Ask him or maybe tell him : Just forget about bringing Chelsea to Asia to make good money. Asians love Manchester United. There is no place in Asia for a dictator football club where the owner Roman Abramovich spent hundreds of millions and made millions of losses. Chelsea is a club that made football worthless when only money comes into play not passion. Back to your ass home Chelsea!!! Even their new club logo looks like Man. Utd. ! Shame on you!!!

To Big Phil :

Q1 : who else would you sign as a Chelsea manager besides the talented Deco of Portugal?

Q2 : Ever thought of signing C.Ronaldo since he plays for your Portugal team and you know his playing style so well?

Q3 : What are your expectations with Chelsea for the new season?Are you confident that you can beat Manchester United and clinch the EPL and ECL title after losing both to Man U last season?

Q4 : How far would you go to keep the big players of Chelsea such as Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba?

Phil : You're a dirty idiotic fella. You know you're coming to Chelsea when you're coaching Portugal. So, during the Euro '08, you persuaded Ronaldo to leave Manchester United for Real Madrid at a press conference. You did that so that Man. Utd. will be a weaker team without Ronaldo? And then you can win the title with Chelsea? Bullshyt Big Phil. Dirty old tactic. Asians are full of Man. Utd. fans, you won't be welcome here in Malaysia. And trust me, the stadium won't be fully occupied. Unlike when Man. Utd comes to Malaysia last time, it was full house. And wait, Malaysians love Man. Utd. but not Chelsea. Our government Tourism department even used Man. Utd. to help advertise our country tourism industry. And wait, AirAsia too. Chelsea really holds no place in Malaysia. In a nutshell, no point coming over here. Sayonara and piss off!!

Questions for Felipao:

1. You have been out of club management for so long. How do you cope with the multitude of nationalities in one team to bring out the best in them?

2. The national associations of the football nations you have managed so far have backed you 100% throughout your tenure as head coach. Do you foresee the same amount of support from Tzar Roman? It is well-known that he has a varying degree of influence over the signings and overall direction of where Chelsea is heading. Would it cramp your style of management if that is the case?

3. Can you put aside your intimate knowledge of Portuguese players at the club and pick the Chelsea 1st team based on merit alone?

4. Arsene Wenger has lashed out at the culture of "mercenary" players recently. Do you consider this a unhealthy trend amongst players, and to a further extent, backroom staff and coaches, considering you admitted you took the Chelsea job partially motivated by the lucrative paycheck?

5. Who is the all-time manager and player that you respect most and why?

6. Do you really believe Chelsea has what it takes to break the dominance of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United in the EPL, and the other European clubs in the UEFA Champions' League or are they perennial underachievers?

7. What should your ideal football player be like? (e.g. attitude, work ethic, etc.?

8. Would you consider managing Malaysia one day? And, what would you do to improve the horrible standard of Malaysian football if you were to take the job?

I think these question are actually very thoughtful:

1. If you are forced to include ONE Malaysian footballer in your 1st 11, who would it be?
2. If you have to sell one of your 1st 11, who would that be?
3. If you are to coach a group of rookies in a world class football competition, and you can include ONE professional footballer of your choice, who would it be? (Any footballer from any nation)

Posted by: YM at 07 July 2008 2:58 PM | Link to comment

1st question:
If you have the freedom to choose any football club to lead, putting the annual salary and goodies aside, which club would you be interested in and why ?

2nd question (quite similar to the 1st question):
If you have the freedom to pick any National football team, besides Portugal and Brazil, which team would you choose to lead and why ?

3rd question:
I personally think C. Ronaldo is overrated in Euro 2008, do you think there's anyone better than him ?

Posted by: Chen at 07 July 2008 2:59 PM | Link to comment

Dear Mr. Scolari,

What can Chelsea fans expect from our team this coming season? Do you intend to rebuild the team in your image over the next 1 or 2 seasons, i.e. one that plays the game the way it was meant to be played? Or do you intend to build on the foundation that your predecessors have left you? Either way, what can the fans expect from the team this season?

Q to Big Phil,

1) After winning the World Cup back at 2002, now 6 years has passed and u didn't win anything with Portugal.Without Ronaldo in your side,are you confident that you can win EPL and Champions League next season with Chelsea?

2) For sure, you will change Chelsea style of play into attacking compare to Maurinho which is more defensive. So who will be your Ronaldo in Chelsea? Arshavin, Deco, or KAKA?

The ultimate question I would like to ask for ages is:

During the World Cup 2002, With Ronaldo's disastrous injury records and with Romário's great form while playing for Fluminense, what give you so much courage and confidence to leave out Romário and bet on Ronaldo? I mean if it is left to me, I don't want to bet on an injury-proned Ronaldo who just came back from two operations and 20 months of rehabilitation. I would play safe with Romário eventhough I know he has discipline issues. Of course we know what happens afterwards but the risk you took was huge.

Questions to Scolari:

1. Good day. How are you settling your life in London so far?

2. At the moment it looks like only Joe Cole plays well on the wings, are you intend to get another speedy winger like Simao?

3. Are you considering another striking partner for Drogba, since the other strikers did not perform well last season?

That would be all Kenny. Cheers.

1) Avram Grant was sacked last season despite leading Chelsea to both runner up places in europe and home. That was such an accomplishment despite a trophy-less season. What is your opinion on the high standards required by Chelsea FC? Is it healthy for the modern football where winning is everything?

2) Roman Abramovich, the Chelsea FC's owner had emphasised a great attacking play, a free flow of football like Arsenal. Jose Mourinho and Avram Grant was sacked due to their defensive play a.k.a boring football. How can you bring changes to Chelsea's gameplay?

3) Big Phil, as this is your maiden season in england and europe, do you think you have what it takes to bring glory to stamford bridge as you never manage any clubs in europe. In england, there is more physical approach emphasised unlike in Brazil. How will you cope with that?

4) In EPL, there will be the usual Big 4 to exert their dominance in the league and europe this coming season. Which team poses the biggest threat to Chelsea's ambitions?

5) Chelsea, a club with no financial restrictions which able to buy among the best players in Europe with an inflated price. What's your stand on this issue?

6) Consider bringing any Brazilians to add the Samba flair in Stamford Bridge?

7) Chelsea is a club with many star players. How will you manage all the egos in dressing room and keep their feets on the ground?

8) Will you be bold enough to drop any underperforming players and give a younger player a chance to prove themself in the first team?

9) Roman Abramovich is known to have meddle with the team's affairs such as the match strategy and players selection. If there is any specific players that Roman ask you to choose, will you give in when the player will disrupt with the game formation?

10) During the Euro 2008, you prohibit any players from announcing nor discussing about their future with the media. However, in constrast you announced that you will be Chelsea's Manager by 1st july. As a result, Portugal were knocked out by Germany. Do you think this is your fault for disrupting the early momentum of the teamm?

Hi Kenny,

My Question for Big Phil:-

Given the right dollar & cents, would you coach the Malaysian Football National Team after you retire from international coaching? We just cannot justify the "success" of the past coaches...do you know what's our Ranking?

Posted by: rock at 07 July 2008 5:01 PM | Link to comment

Ques: Do you think annoucing your move to Chelsea made an impact on Portugal? (Portugal vs Germany)

If the announcement was made after Euro, do you think Portugal would have made it to the final? Do you think the outcome would have been different?

Germany played incredibly well during the semis, especially Ballack. Did he managed to impressed you? Do you think he's trying to impress you?

I personally thinks that, Portugal would have made it to the final, if the announcement is made after Euro and not when Portugal is set to take on Germany. The announcement/move to Chelsea certainly has an impact on the players, expecially Ronaldo.

My question to scolari:
Big Phil, you said upon joining Chelsea that "it was a financial matter, but there were other things..... it was not only financial". You have won many honours including the 2002 World Cup with Brazil and steering Portugal into the Euro 2008 quarter-finals. Does your other things mean the EPL title, Champions League, FA Cup and maybe even the League Cup, being the manager of the team who might win the historic quad titles motivated you to choose Chelsea over other clubs?
