Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti admits his side needs to improve
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that the Blues will need to improve their game after their lackluster showing against Premier League strugglers Wigan Athletic. Chelsea were 1-0 winners on the night, but it was ultimately an ugly and controversial
victory.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ali-Al-Habsi-c5041 to provide the Frenchman with the chance to score. Malouda’s second half strike proved to be the winner, but it was Torres who
once again found himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 international has now gone 12 hours on the pitch without scoring, something that Ancelotti believes will change very soon. The Blues boss said, “Every one of us wanted him to score today. Sometimes, he was really unlucky, but I think we have to
continue to have confidence in him. Maybe he will score the most important goals of our season."
Ancelotti knows that his side’s current form will not be good enough to get them past Manchester United and into the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. Chelsea lost the first leg of the quarter-final encounter against the Red Devils at Stamford Bridge
1-0 on Wednesday night. The Blues now need a win at Old Trafford to progress further in the tournament, something that Ancelotti doesn’t see happening unless his side improves quickly.
The Italian said, “We have to play better but this is normal," Ancelotti said. "To win there, we have to play at our 100 percent. Obviously, we have more difficulty compared to last season to score a lot of goals. We are not able to convert the chances that
we create."
Though Old Trafford has been a fortress all through the season, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 have some hope of overcoming Manchester United in the second leg. The Blues won 2-1 there in the last campaign in what proved to be the title-deciding encounter, and Ancelotti is counting
on his men repeating last season’s heroics.
Chelsea are currently in third place in the Barclays Premier League standings.
