First hand about Abramovich: What I say will come back at me, but I have to tell the truth…

The way in which the UK media and politicians treat Roman Abramovich and how much pressure is being exerted to stop all of his businesses on British soil as soon as possible – has forced individuals to stand in his defense and protection.Former Chelsea captain and club legend John Terry has been under scrutiny after posting a photo with the Russian oligarch on social media with the message “The best boss in the world”, Blues coach Thomas Tuchel also spoke positively about Abramovich although he later criticized his clubs’ fans because they shouted the name and surname of the outgoing Chelsea owner during a one-minute round of applause in support of the victims of the war in Ukraine.16.03. Wed 23:00: (5.10) Lille (3.60) Chelsea (1.80)Once Abramovich’s personal adviser, a former Dutch football player and coach, and then a scout for Chelsea, Piet de Visser, did not spare words of praise towards the Russian. In a conversation with the Dutch media, he spoke about his relationship with Abramovich as one of his closest associates and how the Russian businessman helped him when he was having the hardest time…”I know that what I say will come back at me but I want to tell the truth about who Roman Abramovich really is”, says De Visser and continues:”Because he never talks in public, it creates an image of Roman being a cold person and it hurts me a lot because he is not like that. That’s why I have to stand up for him. The truth is he is a man with a big heart, and the fact that he will pass on all the money from the sale of Chelsea to the victims of the war in Ukraine shows that unequivocally.”The Dutchman does not hide how hard Abramovich’s departure will be for everyone at the club and how much it will affect the future of Chelsea.”It will be a big blow, because he is an extremely important person in the history of the club. People are constantly saying the wrong things about him and in such way a bad image is created. He is a warm person.”They don’t care about Ukraine nor Russia – they just want their Roman backDe Visser also revealed how much Abramovich helped him in the moments when he was fighting for his life…”I remember very well how I felt when I had open-heart surgery and also when I had esophageal cancer. I was like a dead bird. I called Roman to tell him that I would have to retire and leave the scouting position. I will never forget what he said to me then: ‘Piet, you can sign a new contract for ten or twenty years right now, feel free to choose.’ I was on the verge of death, and he tells me something like that. Those words gave me extra strength to fight and heal”, De Visser recalls and continues:”Not to mention that he personally gave me time, no matter how long it took me to fully recover. Plus I used his private yacht or hotel suite to take a break from it all. I can freely say that Roman saved my life in some way.”‘We’re buying Chelsea, Turkish flag will soon fly in London’After 19 years in Chelsea, the Russian oligarch decided to put the club up for sale for over four billion euros. There are interested buyers from all over the world, several businessmen and working groups are asking for details, and allegedly everything could be done by mid-March.Roman Abramovich became a thorn in the side of the British authorities because of his connection with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which is why the first bureaucratic problems began. Britain first refused to extend Abramovich’s work visa, which is why he later took the passports of Portugal and Israel so that he could travel around the world without hindrance.Piet De Visser said he when he was struck with Cancer, he called Roman to tell him he had to retire as scout, which Roman responded with “ You can sign a contract for 10 or 20 years “ Roman also offered him stays in his hotel and boat, he thanks Roman for saving his life 💙 pic.twitter.com/QBVj3KNjLN— Pys (@CFCPys) March 5, 2022 However, with the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the British Parliament even had a discussion about confiscating Abramovich’s entire property in that country, after which he decided to sell the club and everything he owns across the UK and withdraw from football.During the era of Abramovich, Chelsea won 21 trophies, more precisely everything that can be won – two Champions League trophies, two Europa League trophies, and five Premier League titles.
