Blues nightmare is over – Ancelotti
(16-01-2011) Chelsea’s nightmare run is over, claimed manager Carlo Ancelotti after their 2-0 win over Blackburn on Saturday. The victory was just their second in 10 games. "We are not at the same level but we will come back to play at the same level,” said the Italian after the game. "We don't need to have a lot of time to come back. It will be very important the next game against Bolton because we can say definitely that the moment is gone. If the moment is gone, I think that we will be stronger." Set-piece goals from Branislav Ivanovic and Nicolas Anelka saw off Rovers at Stamford Bridge. But Ancelotti was pleased his side also showed their quality in open play. "If I have to judge the performance today, I can say it was good. Our play was good, more intensity, more quality,” he added.
