Ancelotti: I know that Abramovich's patience is not endless © EuroFootball.com

London strategist Carlo Ancelotti admitted that the team needs to wake up, otherwise they will lose hope of defending the country's champions title.

"The Blues" suffered defeat on Monday away against London's Arsenal and extended their winless streak in the Premier League to six matches. Currently, "Chelsea" is only in 4th place in the standings.

"We are disappointed because a difficult period continues," said the Italian. "We are losing positions in the standings, so we need to wake up as soon as possible."

He added: "We can't think about the title. The most important thing is to focus on how to move forward from this point. We must prepare for the match against Bolton and try to win."

Ancelotti did not deny that club owner Roman Abramovich's patience is not unlimited: "I don't know. Of course, he is not happy with what is happening. I take responsibility, but questions about the future should be asked to him, not me. I am not afraid of my work."
