Carlo Ancelotti Admires Unity Within Chelsea Camp
On-pitch huddle proves Blues are a bonded team, according to Italian.
Jan 2, 2010 8:15:19 AM
Chelsea's on-pitch huddle that followed the club's come-from-behind triumph over west London rivals Fulham gladdened Carlo Ancelotti, who believes it underlines the spirit and unity evident within the Stamford Bridge camp.
Furthermore, the booing that emanated from the terraces from the club's supporters was an action defended by the esteemed Italian who claimed that it is "normal" and could also be used as a good motivational ploy for the players.
"The huddle was an important moment for the team," Ancelotti explained to Sky Sports. "It's the first time that they have done this," he added.
"I don't know what they spoke about in that meeting but it was a very good thing to have. They showed that they are a very good team."
Regarding the jeers, he said: "I think that, when a team doesn't play well, it's normal that they won't receive a clap but a whistle. It can be a good motivation, this."The fans want to come to Stamford Bridge to see their team play well. We didn't play good football in that first half. So it was normal, good and right to have been booed off."
