Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti impressed by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044’s attitude – EPL news
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707.
Ancelotti said, “I was very happy with Didier said in his interviews. If the players understand that rotation is important for the team, that's important. It makes my job easier to manage the team if they understand that, and that means there's no problem.”
Didier Drogba, who is facing a dip in form after suffering from Malaria, lost his first team berth to Chelsea’s record signing Fernando Torres. The Spanish striker has been preferred over Drogba since his arrival from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 on the deadline day of the
January 2011 transfer window.
Moreover, the Ivorian striker has failed to reignite his form of the 2009-10 season, in which he scored 37 goals for Chelsea. His last goal from an open play came against Tottenham Hotspur back in December 2010.
Didier Drogba admitted recently that he initially failed to understand the rotation policy which was being used by the Chelsea managed but after holding talks with Carlo Ancelotti, the Ivorian claims that he has come to realise about the alternation process
at Stamford Bridge.
However, even Drogba’s replacement Fernando Torres has also not scored since his arrival at Stamford Bridge. The former Liverpool striker has already played six games for the new club but is yet to open his account.
Moreover, due to Torres’ lack of form in front of the goal, he was dropped for Chelsea’s UEFA Champions League match against FC Copenhagen and Drogba started the match in place of ‘El Nino’.
It could be said that Ancelotti’s rotation policy has been quite successful, as it has brought them right back in the race of the Barclays Premier League crown. The Chelsea manager confirmed that the alternation process will also be implied on the defence
line. Alex, who has just returned from a knee surgery, is now in contention for first team place with club’s new signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Luiz-c10542.
The former AC Milan boss said, “The most important thing is that we have four defenders, four centre-backs, and no other team in the world has their quality or experience. They're not guaranteed places, no. Sometimes they'll need to rest. We have to play
eight or nine games in April, so it's impossible to think I can use just 11 players. I'll need 20 players to move through this moment.”
Chelsea will play one of their season defining matches against Manchester City on Sunday at Stamford Bridge and a win for the Blues will put them ahead of Roberto Mancini’s men in the table.
