The former Real Madrid coach Carlo
Ancelloti has reacted to Chelsea’s poor start to the Premier League season
under Coach Jose Mourinho.
The League holders fell to their fifth defeat in their opening
10 league fixtures at the hands of West Ham on Saturday, October 24 and it was
yet another bad day for Mourinho as he was sent to the stands at the stroke of
half time.
However, Carlo Ancelotti has backed Jose Mourinho to get his
team back on track, saying he is the “right man” at Chelsea.
Ancelotti however tipped Arsenal to win the Premier League title
this season as he believes Manchester City have the most complete squad in the
top-flight, but thinks their inconsistency might plague them.
He told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “I didn’t
expect this crisis, but I do understand the reasons behind these problems. I
think they are feeling sated.
“Last year they won by a mile, now they are more relaxed. Don’t
worry, Mourinho will sort it out. He is the right man.
“Manchester City are the most complete squad in the Premier
League, but every now and then they go off piste. They are not 100 per cent
reliable.
“I’d watch out for Arsenal Arsene Wenger did well to change
their system, so he waits and counters to get the best out of the pace of Theo
Walcott and Alexis Sanchez.”
Meanwhile, David Gold, West Ham co-chairman ridiculed the “Special
one” after his team fell to another defeat at Upton Park.
Gold posted a picture of Mourinho walking past a group of young
West Ham mascots, with the caption: “OK – who would like to play for
Chelsea next week?”
Chelsea has picked up just three victories so far in the
campaign and already look to be out of the race to win the league this season.
