Ancelotti’s riddle. Blue? No way


The year’s the one million dollar question is: “Who will coach Chelsea?”. A various amount of names have been thrown away, but the AC Milan’s boss is the most referred. But, although that’s true, it seems pretty unlikely that Carlo Ancelotti will leave the rossoneri for the blues. To support my theory I have to important aspects, Ancelotti’s character and the current market movements.
First, the Italian coach is one of the great thinkers of the game, he makes the teams play for and only for the score. His dream is to conquer the Serie A and the CL winning all the matches 1-0. He uses a monstrous 4-3-2-1 tactic, that needs a lot of defensive concentration, (yes the 3 means three defensive midfielders), and opt for a quick offensive game, with high pressure on the ball. In theory, this is a cool tactic, it has helped Milan to a lot of titles – and remember France and World Title win in a similar scheme? – but as a major down to a club like Chelsea and – most important – to the owner Roman Abramovich: he needs three or more season’s to put the players in the correct places on the pitch, and the Russian likes results fast and in a cool offensive fashion.
Second, the rossoneri are known for their stability, with the season coming to the end and teams trying to secure valuable players, it’s logical that Ancelotti – with the help of Galliani and Leonardo – has a major role in new acquisitions, therefore the names of Bruno Alves (Porto) and Stéphane Sessegnon (PSG) – this one also linked with Chelsea –that have been systematically appointed to being part of Milan’s squad next season are important to make us understand that Ancelloti will stay at San Siro. On the other hand he (just like Claudio Ranieri) is eager to defeat José Mourinho.

Tip: Make no mistakes, (his one of my favorites) Ancelotti’s tactical knowledge would help the blues to cause a big impact in the Premier (after Mourinho what have they won?), but he needs a long term commitment and, nowadays, you have to look somewhere else rather than Stamford Bridge for that.
