Football Special Report: Chelsea’s manager, Ancelotti Future at the club
The recent rumours about Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti had been creating a lot of stress and tensions among Chelsea fans. However, to answer the fans growing concerns, the Chelsea manager came onto the media and declared the news related to his leaving
the Chelsea site totally baseless and untrue. Although, it came as a pleasant surprise to fans but the real question of the spreading of such humours still hangs in many minds. Ancelloti was reported to be having thoughts about leaving the side as he was concerned
about the increasing lack of control in team affairs.
Chelsea at the start of the league was on the top with an applause able goal difference with other teams. The team was in total control and was enjoying winning their lead till the Blue’s met Birmingham, which resulted in a huge disappointment. Chelsea’s
1-0 away defeat to Birmingham was shock to many. Chelsea being the Premier League title winner was expected to win the game blind folded, however the match resulted in a third lost to Chelsea side in their last four matches played.
Ancelotti was growing frustrated with the lack of commitment among the players and according to the media was considering himself as a man who has no control over his team. On the contrary, he denied of any news regarding his leaving the team at the moment.
During his press conference, when Ancelotti was asked about Wayne Rooney’s resigning of the contract with Manchester United, he chose to ignore the question by saying off that it would better off it Rooney answered it himself. Whatever Ancelotti says but
all the indications of his rumours leads to the possibility of the blow that he faced during the last few days. On his comparison with Sir Alex Ferguson, he disappointedly replied that his position cannot be compared with a Ferguson as his team is under his
command.
The backbone of the rumours lies in the reasons which lead to the spreading of such rumours about Ancelotti leaving Chelsea. By the end of October, Chelsea had a five point lead on Manchester United and Arsenal but at present is under immense pressure since
the first three position of the league are separated with a single point. Thanks to the goal differences, otherwise Chelsea would have lost his position whose cross of suffering has to be bear by Ancelotti shoulders.
Nevertheless, the conference finally provided relief to Chelsea fans. At such a crucial point when there are injured players in the squad such as Frank Lampard and John Terry whose absence will be a huge blow to Chelsea overall defence and mid –field attack.
Besides loses to Liverpool, Sunderland and Birmingham, Ancelotti is still hoping for a good result as he believes that he still holds the magic stick to make things right. Like a great coach, he is suggesting his team to forget the past and focus on the future
games with a positive mindset. Thanks to goal difference, Chelsea is still on the top but with the players unhappy with the manager and injured star players, it is difficult to say the outcome of coming matches for Chelsea however one thing is for sure, that
teams like Man Utd and Arsenal will surely be looking to reach the top spot.
