After another 6-0 win making it 12 goals in two Premier League games, Carlo Ancelotti has called it Playstation Football. His full interview on Chelseafc.com says:
"I think we are trying to play the same football that we played last year, We started very well this season and scored a lot of goals, showing good football. We have to know that today was a tough game and in the first half Wigan played good football and put strong pressure on the pitch, maybe they spent a lot of energy in the first half, The second half was easier for us to have more opportunities to score.
In the first half we had a lot of difficulty on the pitch and were not able to play our football because there was not the space. I think at that time we defended very well, we didn't give Wigan the opportunity to score and we waited for the right time to score. This is important because in football you have to be able to defend and attack. It is impossible to have total control of the game with possession, sometimes you have to defend and in the first half we defended very well.
We have a lot of skills, now the best quality is we are able to do a fantastic counter-attack, we have strikers who are fast with ability, so when we have space it is difficult to control for the opponent, Obviously we wanted to win the game and to play well, and we did both. We won two games, played good football and scored a lot of goals but we are focused to play good football.
It is impossible to think we are always to score six goals in a game, this is not real football, this is Playstation. It never happened to me, but we have to stay in focus for the next game, try to win the next game and show good football."
I think it's safe to say none of us really ever expect Chelsea to win games 6,7 or even 8-0. We all know we have the players that are capable of doing it but never really expect it. One thing is for sure, our rivals will already be looking at our goal difference and will have one eye on how we get on after playing one of the bigger sides in the league and that's no disrespect to West Brom or Wigan, Stoke this week, Blackpool and West Ham afterwards.
The great thing about where we are at right now is that people are going to be playing catch up already as we are the only side in the league with 100% record!.
KTBFFH!
