标题Shevchenko deal exposes Chelsea's short-term aims

大意︰
今年切尔西收购新球员的政策令人不免怀疑莫里尼奥要孤注一掷夺取欧冠,成为第三位
曾在不同联赛执教获得欧冠的重大成就。这几名球员的年龄都届满30岁,对照阿森纳和
曼联投资在年轻球员身上,莫里尼奥似乎想要有及时战力的部队。且这样庞大的薪资和
缺乏转卖价值似乎离肯扬先前曾说未来切尔西的财务可独立自主的目标越来越远。这样
的阵容让英超其他球队对於竞争性感到沮丧,不过想拿第三座英超冠军也没那麽顺利,
莫里尼奥每次只能先发11人,其他优秀的球员无法上场肯定会感到失望。

Shevchenko deal exposes Chelsea's short-term aims
By Glenn Moore
Published: 02 June 2006
Andrei Shevchenko's arrival at Chelsea, and Jose Mourinho's determination to
add Roberto Carlos to a list of summer signings that also features Michael
Ballack and Salomon Kalou, may have Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal
wondering if there is any point in contesting next season's title. The rest of
the Premiership, which has long given up on such a quest, will have little
sympathy.
A third Chelsea success is not, however, clear-cut.
Mourinho can only field
11 players at a time, which means some big egos are going to be disappointed.
There is also the potentially corrosive effect of Ballack and Shevchenko's
wages, and the latter's friendship with Roman Abramovich, the club's owner.
It was with a nod to the latter issue that Mourinho insisted, after the
£30.8m
Shevchenko deal was completed late on Wednesday night, that the move
represented
"a dream become reality. Andrei has always been my first choice for
Chelsea since I arrived."
It would be no surprise if that was so. Shevchenko has been one of the most
sought-after strikers in Europe ever since he stunned Barcelona with a
hat-trick for Dynamo Kiev at the Nou Camp in the 1997-98 Champions' League.
Milan secured him and he rarely let them down.
If it is Mourinho's signing one thought does arise: the Portuguese appears to
be going for broke. Shevchenko and Ballack will both be 30 in September, and
Roberto Carlos is already 33. Compare this with Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex
Ferguson's ongoing investment in young players. This is not the approach of
someone building a club, more one of someone delivering an instant team. The
suspicion grows that Mourinho will remain at Chelsea only as long as it takes
to win the Champions' League.
He would then be one of only three men to have won the competition at different
clubs (Ernst Happel, with Feyenoord and Hamburg, and Ottmar Hitzfeld, with
Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich are the others). The prospect of becoming
the first coach to do so with three clubs could be irresistible, as could the
challenge of being the manager who tames Real Madrid's executives and
dressing-room.
Also of long-term interest is the club's financial management: given the wages,
and lack of resale value, of Ballack, Shevchenko and Roberto Carlos, the
oft-stated aim of Peter Kenyon, the chief executive, of the club becoming
self-financing looks to be as far away as ever.
* Portuguese goalkeeper Hilario, 30, says he has completed his move to Chelsea
after undergoing a medical. He will join on a two-year deal from Nacional.
