Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that club owner Roman Abramovich is enjoying watching the style of play at Stamford Bridge this season.
The Blues have often been perceived as a little dull and efficient in the recent past, but Ancelotti believes that the Russian has been impressed by a more attacking and entertaining approach from his players.
"Some things we have changed. The system of play is a little bit different. We play attacking football," Ancelotti said, according to The Sun.
"Roman wants to see the team in his identity. I think the team now is playing with his identity. We want to improve this but this is a good way to play."
Chelsea welcome Inter to Stamford Bridge for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday night.
Jose Mourinho's men enjoy a 2-1 lead from the first leg in Italy but Ancelotti is relishing the occasion.
"I love this competition, it is the best in football," he added.
"I want my players to go out and show their quality."
