CHELSEA MANAGER CARLO
ANCELOTTI: DIDIER DROGBA-
KAKA SWAP IS 'FANTASY
FOOTBALL'

Drogba-Kaka swap is out of the
question, claims Chelsea boss
Carlo Ancelotti...
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti
has dismissed reports
suggesting that the defending
Premier League champions are
willing to swap striker Didier
Drogba for Real Madrid
midfielder Kaka.
Drogba's future at Stamford
Bridge is riddled with
uncertainty following the arrival
of Fernando Torres from
Liverpool and he also has a close
relationship with Madrid coach
Jose Mourinho.
The Spanish giants are in search
of a forward in the summer and
Kaka has played under Ancelotti
at Milan, flaring up suggestions
that a Drogba-Kaka swap is in
the offing.
However, Ancelotti has
dismissed these rumours and
told La Repubblica, "Will I ask
[Chelsea owner Roman]
Abramovich for Kaka,
[Alexandre] Pato or [Andrea]
Pirlo? We have already taken
Ramires, Torres and David Luiz.
"The exchange of Kaka for
Drogba is fantasy football."
The Italian added, "I don't think
that Chelsea have spent a lot in
the last year. "We added five
players from the youth system
instead of five with high
salaries."

THIS SEASON HAS BEEN MY
BEST AT MANCHESTER UNITED -
NANI

Feb 26, 2011 12:29:00 PM
But winger reckons his success
will be measured in terms of
trophies
Nani believes that this season
has been his best so far at
Manchester United.
The 24-year-old has put in
strong performances
throughout the campaign,
scoring nine goals and providing
11 assists in 22 appearances in
the Premier League.
But the former Sporting
midfielder insists that the
yardstick he will use to judge his
contributions will be the number
of trophies that the Old Trafford
outfit win this campaign.
"It's my best season at United,
but the most important thing is
to win the trophies with the
team," said Nani, according to
The Mirror.
"When I have won the trophies, I
will look back at how I have
contributed."
The current season marks a
dramatic turnaround in the
career of the Portuguese player,
who was a Red Devils outcast
less than two years ago.
"I always tell everyone I have
ambition and it is not easy to
give up on Manchester United,"
he said. "But at the same time
you come to Manchester United
to play. I am feeling so good
with the team now and I have
been doing so well, but I know I
can do much more.
"That is why I'm training hard
every day and staying fit for
every game. It's good to have so
many goals and assists.
"And it's so good to know that
when you are on the pitch your
confidence is so high you want
the ball all the time, because
everything is going so well.
"It's good that people are
looking to me because this is my
life - I do everything for the
football and I want to get even
better."
He added: "I just want to be
Nani, a good player. People enjoy
seeing me play."
Nani, who currently stands 29th
in the Castrol Rankings, remains
unwilling to compare himself to
his Portugal and former United
team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo,
who left the Red Devils to join
Real Madrid in 2009.
"Ronaldo calls me to wish me
good luck and tells me how well I
am doing," Nani said. "We are
good friends.
"But I don't compare myself to
Ronaldo or anyone else. I just
think about myself, the club and
what I can do for them."
Sir Alex Ferguson's charges also
have a series of important
games coming up during the
coming weeks, with away days
at Wigan Athletic, Chelsea and
Liverpool in the league, followed
by an FA Cup game against
either Arsenal or Leyton Orient.
And the players will then have to
shift their attention from the
domestic to the European stage,
with the reverse leg against
Marseille scheduled to take place
on March 15.
"We have some massive games
coming up," Nani said. "The next
few weeks are going to be very
important for us.
"We are focused on winning
every game because we know
the results in the next few
matches could be decisive."

CARLO ANCELOTTI’S FUTURE
AT CHELSEA IN DOUBT
FOLLOWING DRAMATIC FA CUP
EXIT - REPORT
Share
20 Feb 2011 12:56:00
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti
is being tipped by The Daily Mail
for a Stamford Bridge exit
following a dramatic FA Cup
penalty defeat to Everton, which
leaves the Blues as credible
contenders in only one
competition this season – the
Champions League.
Ancelotti led Chelsea to the
Double last season, winning both
the Premier League and the FA
Cup, but thanks to recent horror
show form, his side have
dropped out of the title race and
yesterday crashed out of the FA
Cup.
With the Blues having spent big
money in January, but with new
record signing Fernando Torres
cup-tied following his
participation in the competition
for Liverpool, Ancelotti watched
his side slump to a penalty
shoot-out defeat by Everton,
Ashley Cole's miss putting what
could be the last nail in the
coffin of Ancelotti's Chelsea
tenure.
The Mail notes that Ancelotti has
himself admitted once results
start to falter, fans and critics
start looking at the manager –
and Chelsea have won a mere
seven of their last 21 games in
all competitions.
A first-ever Champions League
triumph looks to be the only
emergency exit for the former
AC Milan boss, but that seems
highly unlikely on the evidence
of Chelsea's performances both
on Monday against Fulham and
yesterday against Everton. The
team's malaise seems to have
stemmed from Ray Wilkins'
sudden exit last year.
As the light of his blue faith
begins to dim, media and
pundits have begun looking
towards his possible successor.
Current Real Madrid manager
Jose Mourinho has obviously
been linked with the post
following his burning desire to
reinstate his ‘special’ self at the
helm of English football, and a
recent spat with the Spanish
club ’s owners could well presage
one of the most high-profile
returns of all time, reckons The
Mail.
Former Netherlands manager
Marco Van Basten has also been
linked with the Stamford Bridge
post, and looks a likely contender
should Mourinho stay at Real.
The 46-year-old Dutchman is
young, and has been compared
to Barcelona ’s Josep Guardiola.
Chelsea have endured an awful
run of form since November,
which is surprising after they
got off to an outstanding start
to their title-defending
campaign.
Skipper John Terry announced
his delight when winning the
Double last season, claiming that
it had "hurt" to see Sir Alex
Ferguson ’s troops take the
Premier League title for three
years in a row before the Blues
managed to reclaim it.
However, it looks as though he
will have to endure similar pain
again this season.
Mourinho has reportedly been in
close contact with the Chelsea
players, attending their Monday
night derby with Fulham, and
has texted certain individuals
