阿布拉莫維奇：我想成為這項不可思議的運動的一部分

2021.03.23


足球比賽的不可預測性，羅曼˙阿布拉莫維奇回憶道，這是他買下切爾西之前愛
上這項運動的一個關鍵因素。

最近我們的老闆阿布拉莫維奇在與《福布斯》雜誌的談話中提到了那些日子，他
還談論了自己的未來目標，以及他享受著球隊的持續成功。


去年11月，阿布拉莫維奇的切爾西完成了1000場比賽的里程碑。阿布時期的第一
場比賽是在2003年，他告訴《福布斯》雜誌，在那之前的幾年裡，無論工作需要他去
哪裡參加商務會議，他都會進場看足球比賽。


“大家都很激動，很興奮。我記得自己當時在想：‘我也想參與其中，’”阿布
拉莫維奇補充說，“事實上，取得足球比賽的勝利並沒有固定的公式。每場比賽前，
教練和他的球隊都要考慮很多因素。就像每隔幾天有一場新的考試，所有付出的努力
都會得到評估。我喜歡這種不可預測性，也喜歡看到每一場比賽的結果。”

這份喜悅將阿布帶到了切爾西足球俱樂部，據《福布斯》報導，阿布帶著笑容回
憶道：“事後看來，特別是考慮到它給我帶來的公眾形象，也許我對擁有一家足球俱
樂部會有不同的想法，但當時，我只是看到了不可思議的足球比賽，我想以某種方式
成為其中的一員。”


現在，將近18年過去了，阿布可以回顧目前自己的進展了。


“在我看來，獎盃不言自明，展示了我們這家俱樂部這些年所取得的成就，我的
目標是繼續贏得獎盃，書寫未來。”

“切爾西有著非常悠久的歷史，能在其中扮演一個角色讓我我感到非常幸運。在
我加盟之前俱樂部就已經存在了，在我之後也依然存在，我的工作是確保我們像今天
一樣成功，同時也為未來做好準備，這也是科本青訓營的成功對我如此重要的原因。”

Roman Abramovich: I wanted to be part of this incredible sport - 23 Mar 2021

Roman Abramovich discusses football in society and ambition remaining the same

19 Mar 2021


Roman Abramovich has shared thoughts publicly on some important topics
concerning Chelsea, football and wider society, including combating
discrimination, having a performance-based culture and investing in the
women's game.

The Chelsea owner was in conversation with Lee Igel, a clinical professor
at the NYU Tisch Institute for Global Sport who has contributed to Chelsea
FC projects, and used our Say No to Antisemitism campaign to form part of
the teaching at his Institute.


The discussion is published in Forbes magazine and it begins with Mr
Abramovich recalling why he fell in love with football, and that his aims
at the outset of his ownership were to create world-class teams as well as
ensure the club plays a positive role in all of our communities.


The progress made on those objectives since 2003 is then discussed at
length including, in the wake of this week's launch of the club's new No
To Hate campaign, the continuing work to combat racist abuse, especially
in the wake of players being targeted on social media.


'Racism, antisemitism, this is all the same type of evil and should have
no place on our world at this day and age,' he tells Igel.

'Every time I get sent examples of racist abuse that our players face, I
am shocked. It's disgraceful that this is the reality for not just our
players, but for anyone targeted by this sort of abuse. If we as a club
can make a difference in this area, in fighting antisemitism, racism and
promoting tolerance, I am determined to stand behind it and contribute in
whatever way I can.'

Mr Abramovich discusses why, despite no wish to have a public profile, he
chooses on occasions to put his name to statements or letters on this
subject and others, including when Frank Lampard left the club.


'I think we are pragmatic in our choices,' he says. 'And we are
comfortable making the right changes at the right time to ensure we can
achieve our long-term ambitions. I hope it also says something about the
clarity of the long-term ambition of the club. Those who join understand
the objectives both on the pitch, as well as the wider positive role the
club plays in the community.'


The success of Chelsea FC Women and the Academy sides, as well as the
men's team, are clearly a source of pride for the owner and he states his
belief that the women's game would be on an equal business footing to the
men's if given equal support.


'The women's team is a critical part of Chelsea and shapes who we are as a
club,' Mr Abramovich says.

'I think investment pays off. I think their success demonstrates what can
be achieved when you dedicate resources and the right leadership. Emma
Hayes has been remarkable in her work with the team.'


The Chelsea Foundation, the largest in UK football, and the support
Chelsea and Mr Abramovich have offered to the National Health Service, the
charity Refuge and the wider community during the pandemic are also
highlighted in the conversation in Forbes, which can be read in full here.
