Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti insists that new signing Yossi Benayoun understands his tactics more than former Blues star Joe Cole.
The Italian let the England international midfielder go on a free transfer to Liverpool this summer, replacing him with Benayoun, who cost the Blues £6 million.
Despite many saying that Chelsea should have kept Cole at Stamford Bridge, Ancelotti believes that the Israeli international could prove to be more effective than the Englishman was with the Blues.
"Joe Cole is quicker than Benayoun but Yossi is better tactically. He understands what I tell him,” Ancelotti told The Sun.
"Yossi is a very intelligent player. He knows everything about the game.
"Cole and Benayoun are different players and everyone has their own opinion, but we are happy to have Yossi here at Chelsea."
Benayoun, who came to the Blues from Liverpool this summer, is set to make his first appearance for his new club in Sunday’s Community Shield match against Manchester United.
