London strategist Carlo Ancelotti admitted that he finds it hard to believe how much his players are lagging behind the leader of the England championship.
In the match between the two teams on Tuesday, the capital's team defeated the visitors from Manchester with a score of 2-1, but the Italian insists that they will not be able to defend the title of England champions.
"We are too far from 'Man Utd,'" Ancelotti said, referring to the 12-point deficit. "We need to focus on ourselves and not look too far ahead."
"I can't believe we are so far behind, but we need to be realistic. We are where we are because 'Man Utd' have played much more stable than us."
However, the advantage of the leading student of Sir Alex Ferguson may decrease - they have played more matches than Chelsea and on Sunday they will go to Liverpool, where they will face the local Liverpool in a crucial match.
