Carlo Ancelotti has told the Chelsea players that are coming back from playing in the World Cup to forget it and return to the form that won them the Double last season.
Most of the Blues players that competed in South Africa returned in disappointing fashion, especially Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard and John Terry from England and France’s Nicolas Anelka and Florent Malouda.
Ancelotti believes that his team must forget the World Cup and return to the form that saw them win the Premier League and the FA Cup last term.
"I think we have to put our minds back to the end of last season," Ancelotti told The Guardian.
"Our season was very good and we had a lot of celebration, and now we have to rediscover that.
"The World Cup was a different story for them and we have to create a good atmosphere now."
The Italian is looking to find the form that carried them to glory last season, but Ancelotti knows that is will be tough to replicate last year’s success.
"To win more trophies than last season will be difficult.
"Everyone expects us to do our best but it's very difficult in football to repeat.
"We have the same aim as last year, to stay in competitions. But last year we went out of the Champions League too early so we have to do better."
