Boehly’s criticism came at a critical moment in Chelsea’s Champions League quarter-final match against Real Madrid, with the return leg taking place on Tuesday at Stamford Bridge.
Although it is unusual for an owner to address the players directly, Ancelotti believes Boehly’s pep talk could serve as motivation for the players ahead of a season-defining match.
“From the owners it could be an important motivation for the players. The Chelsea moment is not a good moment, I think to have the support of the club could inspire the players to play better,” he told GOAL
“I think it is a good move to do this and if the clubs want to come and talk to the players I have no problem, absolutely. If he [Madrid’s president] wants to talk to me every game I am pleased because I think the owner has the right to know what are the decisions of the managers, so it is the right of the club to know what the manager does.”
