Rafa, the man who led Liverpool to
win w1th ease in matches during his 2004-2010 reign at the club, has figured in
previous bitter situations against Chelsea, including an incident in which he
accused ex-Blues striker Didier Drogba of diving. The impending departures of
Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole – both being fan favourites, have reportedly
increased the tension.
Trizia Fiorellino, chairperson of the Chelsea Supporters’ Group,
stated on behalf of the fans that they did not want Rafa to become Roberto di
Matteo’s replacement, nor have the Italian replaced in the first place.
