Ancelotti: Chelsea Not Tough Enough

London - Carlo Ancelotti has the answer to why Chelsea less shine in this season. The coach assess his squad if it was indeed less formidable.
The Blues left with a target finish runner-up at the end of the season. The title is almost impossible because of its distance from Manchester United who topped the standings too wide with the competition, which leaves only six games only.
Chelsea look very convincing at the start of the season. But before the winter break "The Blue" had slumped even thrown from the top.
His injury is the reason a number of key players on Chelsea's performance was bad. However, when the squad re-equipped, it's too late for the defending champion to get back into the competitive struggle for the title.
"I feel this squad is not strong enough this year. At the beginning of the season, we could not imagine not having missed a very important player in the same time," complained Ancelotti at The Sun.
"We have difficulties to adjust when we play without Lampard, Drogba, Essien, Terry and Alex. At one point we had to put our season back Paulo Ferreira in the middle of the defense because we lost all our central defenders."
"You can not imagine it at the beginning of the season you will lose players like this. In bad times it really difficult for us to drive without them and I think that's what makes us worse. We do not only lose their technique but also their character , "pungas the Italian manager.
Ancelotti also admitted to not regret throwing a number of players such as Ricardo Carvalho, Joe Cole, Deco and Juliano Belletti.
"I agree with the philosophy of the club to replace a player who is very important to the players is easy. Last summer was the time a place to do it."
"Before our bad moments we routinely use the young players like Kakuta, Sturridge and McEachran. But the moment it is difficult to be more difficult to impose responsibility to them and therefore we buy Fernando Torres and David Luiz in January."
