Malouda: It could have been nine!

CARLO ANCELOTTI has a dream – and it could turn out to be a nightmare for everyone else in the Premier League.

The Italian is a perfectionist, and at Chelsea, he has the twin task of wresting the Premier League title back from Manchester United after a three-year absence, but most importantly doing it in the style required by Roman Abramovich.

The Russian billionaire was happy to see Jose Mourinho end Chelsea’s 50-year wait for the league title, but not so happy with the way they played. Too often Chelsea would just do enough to win the game and then shut up shop.
