Ancelotti feeling the heat

(06-12-2010) Carlo Ancelotti is starting to feel the strain at Chelsea. The Italian has presided over a spectacular collapse by the Blues in recent weeks. Saturday’s draw with Everton means they have taken just five points from a possible 18. It is the Stamford Bridge club’s worst run in 10 years and has seen them drop to third on the standings. Asked how he felt after Saturday’s stalemate with struggling Everton, he replied: "Not good, not good at this moment. I'm not relaxed, I don't sleep well." He then insisted: "The problem is on the field, not the bench. I maintain confidence in my players. I maintain trust but it's not a good moment - not for them or for myself.” He added: "We still have the time to come back and play our football, to be competitive in the league and in the Champions League."
