Ancelotti believe in Chelsea’s plan of attack

(GSM) – Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti believe in attack as well as balance is the key to bringing three points back from Old Trafford.

Alex Ferguson’s teams are nothing new to the Chelsea manager; his Champions League past against Manchester United is very good and with Chelsea he has Community Shield success and the win at Stamford Bridge back in November to his name.

“We want to play our football and our football is to attack,” Ancelotti announces.

“Our aim is to keep control of the game but this is the most difficult game to do this because Manchester United want to do the same. They play at home and they will want to keep control of the game so this is a fight that can decide the match.”

“In Italy the team that wins Serie A was not the team that scores more goals,’ explains the manager of the Premier League’s current top scorers, ‘it was the team that concede less, but here we are in England.”

“I don’t consider myself an attacking coach, I am an Italian and the fortune of Italian football is defence. I like defence but most I like balance. I am a balance coach.”

“Our aim in this game is to attack but the first thing is to maintain balance. I don’t like to concede from counter attack because that is the easiest way to score. If you attack badly you can concede like this.”

Important to gaining a result will be to give Man United just as much to concern themselves over when they attack, and for that Ancelotti will once again be turning to Frank Lampard’s threat and a fluid way of deploying his strikers.
