      The team included club legends such as Petr Cech, Paulo Ferreira, John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho, Claude Makelele, Frank Lampard, Mikel Essien, Joe Cole, Didier Drogba and Arjen Robben.
      However at left-back Asier del Horno was picked in the line-up ahead of Gallas.
      The decision left the 45-year-old puzzled as he played 34 times in the Premier League that season, starting 33 of them.
      Gallas also scored five goals and his performances earned him a spot in the Premier League team of the season that year.

      “With 33 appearances as start XI and 5 goals in the Premier League. Being voted as a left back in the Premier League team of the season 2005/2006.
      “I say to myself that something has gone seriously wrong somewhere!!”
      Del Horno on the other hand only made 25 appearances in the Premier League that season.

      He had joined the club ahead of the season but would only spend one year at Chelsea before heading back to Spain with Valencia.
      Gallas did also fill in at centre back in place of Terry or Carvalho at times when he was needed.
      He was undoubtedly one of the club’s key players during their run to the title that season.
      However, this season was his last at Stamford Bridge as he moved to Arsenal as part of a deal that saw Ashley Cole join Chelsea. More

      ‘Wishful thinking’ – Man Utd and Liverpool get HUGE transfer boost as Dortmund chief casts doubt on Bellingham future

      by

      BORUSSIA DORTMUND have confirmed that they want to keep Jude Bellingham – although they admit it could be “wishful thinking”.The 19-year-old England star is arguably the most sought-after player in Europe with a host of top clubs chasing him.

      Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have both supposedly seen early moves knocked back by the midfielder himself.
      Bellingham appears to be against joining either of those two amid interest from the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Real Madrid.
      However, we revealed last week how Los Blancos are feeling that the financial wealth of the Premier League has led them to believe that a return to England for the ex-Birmingham City ace is on the cards.
      Bellingham is under contract at Dortmund until 2025 – meaning they are under no immediate pressure to cash in on him this summer.

      However, they do know that his price tag is likely to be at its peak come the end of the season.
      The Bundesliga club’s sporting director Sebastian Kehl has now confirmed that there is no guarantee they will look to sell him and says they are desperate to hang on to him.
      But he also admitted that there have been no advanced talks over an extension and that a new deal seems unlikely.
      Kehl said: “There has been no new development. We’ll have to be patient for a little longer.
      Most read in Football
      BETTING SPECIAL – BEST FOOTBALL BETTING SITES IN THE UK
      “But of course we try to keep Jude Bellingham at Borussia Dortmund as long as possible because he is an incredibly important player who has shown once again this season how he identifies with this club and makes the team better.
      “Things develop due to market mechanisms. So of course I have my thoughts and also have my wishful thinking. I can’t say whether that will happen in the end.
      “From Borussia Dortmund’s point of view, the wishful thinking would be to keep a player of this quality at this club for as long as possible.
      “I would also like to have kept Erling Haaland or Jadon Sancho at Borussia Dortmund, because you can only imagine if we had managed to keep all three players in one team, what opportunities would then arise.”
      Kehl added: “We will always try everything to keep players of this quality at BVB – because we are ambitious, because we want to win titles. For this we need not only good, but also outstanding players.”
      Dortmund and Bellingham have enjoyed a six-match winning streak since returning from the World Cup.
      They welcome Chelsea to Germany for the first-leg of their last-16 Champions League clash on Wednesday. More

      And the Blues are keen on extending his stay with the club, according to Spanish outlet Relevo.

      So Chelsea have recent experience dealing with the Portuguese agent.
      American owner Todd Boehly is reported to have an “excellent” relationship with Mendes.

      Atletico are claimed to be open to letting Felix leave in the summer for around £88million, having previously demanded £115m-£130m for his signature.
      Talks between the two clubs will reportedly take place when Felix’s current loan deal expires at the end of the campaign.
      Meanwhile, Fichajes are reporting that Atletico are keen on Chelsea outcast Christian Pulisic.

      Atletico’s interest in Pulisic potentially raises the possibility of a swap deal for Felix involving the American, which could bring down the amount of cash the Blues would have to shell out.
      Pulisic has entered the final 18 months of his contract and is set to be put up for sale in the summer.

      As well as Atletico, Pulisic also has several Premier League clubs chasing his signature, including Manchester United.
      Pulisic has played 136 games for Chelsea since signing from Borussia Dortmund in 2019, scoring 26 goals and providing 21 assists.
      Despite winning the Champions League, he has failed to taste regular action since joining the club for £58million. More

      Tottenham should target transfer for unwanted Chelsea flop who could ‘solve all of their problems’ claims Spurs legend

      by

      The attacking midfielder was speaking exclusively to Ladbrokes :Fanzone as Spurs gear up for the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against AC Milan.
      The former Tottenham man said: “They’re missing something in that number 10 area, and I think the answer is Hakim Ziyech.”

      He continued: “He’s not happy at Chelsea, and I’m a big fan of his.
      “If Tottenham were to bring him in, their problems are solved; I really don’t think they need much more.”

      Ziyech nearly joined PSG on deadline day in January but that move fell through at the last minute due to a paperwork blunder.
      The Moroccan only has one assist and hasn’t scored in 12 Premier League appearances for Chelsea this season although just five of those have been starts.
      It remains to be seen if Chelsea would consider selling to a rival.
      Van der Vaart was part of the Tottenham side that famously won 1-0 in the San Siro and knocked the Italians out over two legs during the 2010/2011 season thanks to go a goal from Peter Crouch.
      Most read in Champions League
      The former Dutch international has fond memories of that night especially the scrap between Joe Jordan and Gennaro Gattuso.
      He told Ladbrokes: Fanzone: ” “I had a great view of the incident everyone remembers from that game in Milan.
      “That was the moment I think of whenever anyone mentions that game, of course.
      “Gennaro Gattuso, the little b******, the animal on the pitch, kicking and pushing people around.”
      The Tottenham legend added: “Honestly, I got goosebumps that night just watching how Joe handled that whole incident.
      “Harry Redknapp said at the time there’d only have been one winner if those two kicked off with each other, and I agree 100%.
      “I’d have put all the money I had on Joe Jordan. He was so ready for it.”
      Van der Vaart thinks his former side should be beating AC Milan.
      He said: “Tottenham are better than AC Milan; they really need to win this game.
      “I think it’s a really good draw for them in the Last 16. They shouldn’t fear this Milan team; Tottenham are favourites surely! I think it’ll be a draw in the first leg, though. Let’s go with 2-2.”

      He has turned down two offers from Brentford to extend his deal.
      And Chelsea are keeping an eye on his situation, according to football.london.
      Kepa Arrizabalaga has reclaimed the No1 jersey at Stamford Bridge from Edouard Mendy, but still faces an uncertain future at the club.
      Mendy meanwhile snubbed a six-year contract offer from the Blues in December.

      And Raya is said to be attracting interest from the Stamford Bridge side, who are eyeing a new long-term No1.
      Both Manchester United and Tottenham are also claimed to been keen on the stopper.
      The Spaniard has been superb for Brentford this season, including in the 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Saturday.
      Bees boss Thomas Frank spoke about his goalkeeper recently, declaring that the stopper is worth at “at least £40million” -despite his expiring contract.

      On the topic of Raya’s deal, the Dane said: “If he turns it down twice that’s a signal he doesn’t want that.
      “I thought we put two really good offers out there but that’s fine it’s a free world we can’t force anyone.

      “I hope he will stay forever of course that looks like it could be very difficult with the contract situation he must be at least £40million if not more.”
      Raya also opened up on his future over the weekend, revealing he doesn’t believe now is the “right time” to sign a new deal with the Bees.
      He said: “I don’t think it’s the right time to sign a contract at the moment.
      “I’m really, really happy and right now I’m just thinking about doing the best for the team and trying to push for Europe.
      “I was offered a new contract last year and one in January but we didn’t reach an agreement. I would like to see what happens in summer, however I’m happy at Brentford.
      “For now a new contract is secondary, the most important thing is the team and the games. We’ll see where we are in May. You never know what’s around the corner.
      “There’s nothing I can say about what’s going to happen in the summer. I don’t even know what’s going to happen on Saturday.” More

      I have more fun playing my new sport than I did battling it out in Champions League final for Chelsea

      by

      A CHELSEA legend insists his new sport at the age of 40 is “more fun” than winning the Champions League.It’s better skate than never for the all-time Premier League great, who has gone from goalkeeper to goaltender.
      Not even this famous success against Bayern Munich in the 20212 Champions League final matches the enjoyment of a Chelsea legend’s new sportCredit: Getty
      Petr Cech won the Prem and FA Cup four times apiece as well as the ultimate club prize via the famous 2012 final against Bayern Munich.
      And after 11 years at Stamford Bridge, he added another FA Cup victory with Arsenal.
      Cech then went back to Chelsea as technical director but departed in June 2022 following Todd Boehly’s takeover.
      Now, like a footballer who claims he supported his new club as a kid, Cech has returned to his first sporting love – ice hockey.

      The 124-cap former Czech Republic stopper got hooked again when he went to watch Guildford Phoenix in 2013.
      And after retiring as a football player six years later he was able to sign for the Surrey club.
      He switched to Chelmsford Chieftains in the NIHL South Division One on a one-year deal last summer.
      Comparing his sports past and present, Cech told the Daily Mail: “You’re still in that dressing room. You’re still having that banter. But it’s a completely different level of pressure.

      “This is more fun than when you play a Champions League game for everything.
      “But I still have that feeling in myself because I want to perform. I want to win. I hate losing. It’s the same feeling I had when I played football.
      “You still get that feeling when you’re walking through the corridor, to the ice, surrounded by all these people. 
      “Maybe if there were 30 fans, it would be different. But the building is full. That’s what I like.”
      Perhaps he can eventually set up a new ice hockey club, Chillsea, and play at Stamford Fridge.
