The Czech, who played for both clubs, shared his views in an interview with Чемпионат.com, painting a picture of a team in decline.\n\nJarosik stated that he actively follows Chelsea's fortunes and has observed a significant downturn in recent times. He believes the club is regressing, returning to a level of performance and stature reminiscent of the era before the Russian billionaire's investment reshaped the football landscape. The core of his critique centers on a perceived absence of both coherent playing style and on-field leadership.\n\n\"I don't see anything: neither a clear style of play nor leaders on the pitch,\" Jarosik remarked. He pointed to the club's recent transfer strategy, noting that while they acquire talented individuals, these players are failing to perform collectively at Stamford Bridge. This disconnect between individual talent and team output is a key concern for the former player.\n\nTo illustrate his point about the missing leadership, Jarosik drew a direct comparison to Chelsea's recent golden era. He recalled the days of Didier Drogba, John Terry, and Frank Lampard—a trio that commanded respect across European football. That spine of the team, he argued, provided both the winning mentality and the results that defined the club's peak years under Abramovich.\n\nThe current situation, in his view, is a stark contrast. The club is \"gradually sliding down,\" a process he finds disheartening. His analysis suggests that the current squad, despite its cost, lacks the defining characters and the collective spirit that made previous Chelsea sides formidable and respected opponents.\n\nJarosik also drew a parallel from his own career to contextualize the challenge of building a cohesive unit. He compared Chelsea's current predicament to the state of CSKA Moscow in the early 2000s. This reference implies a period of transition or underperformance where a club with history and resources struggles to find its identity and translate potential into consistent success.\n\nDespite his critical assessment, Jarosik's comments were not without a note of hope for the future. He concluded by expressing his wish that the situation improves for the club. His analysis serves as a warning from a former insider, highlighting the difficult path Chelsea faces in trying to recapture its former glory and avoid settling into a prolonged period of mediocrity.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Former Chelsea and CSKA Moscow player Jiri Jarosik delivers a stark assessment of the club's regression, drawing parallels to its pre-Abramovich status and highlighting a lack of leadership and identity.","327739132614807553","0","2026-05-07T07:25:54Z","jiri-jarosik-chelsea-s-decline-echoes-pre-abramovich-era-as-mid-table","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews-6459310-irzhi-yaroshik-chelsi-katitsya-vniz-i-prevraschaetsya-v-serednyaka-kotorym-byl-do-abramovicha.html","326257611655614464","CSKA Moscow",[54,57,58,59,60,61,62,63],"326257812931874816","326257546220277760","326222707169431552","326222712395534336","326257539962376192","326257546392244224","326257561592401920",[55,65,66,67,68,69,70,71],"Stamford","Chelsea","Anderlecht","Norway","Como","Nottingham Forest","FC Midtjylland","Jiri Jarosik: Chelsea's Decline Echoes Pre-Abramovich Era as Mid-Table Mediocrity Looms",[74,120,151,170],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":75,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":76,"leagueId":77,"leagueName":78,"matchId":49,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":79,"slug":80,"sourceName":81,"sourceURL":82,"teamId":83,"teamName":84,"teamIds":85,"teamNames":102,"title":119},"Torreense won the Portuguese Cup but missed promotion, so they'll play Europa League from second tier, joining Wigan, Birmingham and other D2 European clubs.","335863964950859777","326135636304072704","Taça de Portugal","2026-05-29T17:20:32Z","torreense-joins-5-d2-clubs-that-played-in-europe","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FActualites\u002FAvant-torreense-ces-clubs-de-d2-ayant-participe-a-une-coupe-d-europe\u002F1680031#at_medium=RSS_feeds","326257749354614784","Torreense",[83,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,54,98,99,100,101],"326257538016219136","326222707249123328","326257664847777792","326255038072623104","326257565363081216","326257807814823936","326257615203995648","326222712143876096","326255040962498560","326257808058093568","326255039532240896","326222707211374592","326255040643731456","326257616814608384","326257546258026496","326257537831669760",[84,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,55,115,116,117,118],"Casa Pia","Zulte Waregem","Liechtenstein","AZ Alkmaar","Villarreal","Birmingham","FC Zurich","Portugal","FC Vaduz","Wigan","Maribor","Club Brugge KV","Sparta Praha","Palermo","Manchester City","Sporting CP","Torreense Joins 5 D2 Clubs That Played in Europe",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":121,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":122,"leagueId":123,"leagueName":124,"matchId":49,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":125,"slug":126,"sourceName":81,"sourceURL":127,"teamId":100,"teamName":117,"teamIds":128,"teamNames":139,"title":150},"Lee Kang-in out injured as PSG face Lens;
