Ancelotti preferred the French for a partnership in the offensive line with Fernando Torres in the area of Didier Drogba and both have played very well. The Spaniard didn't manage any goal although he had opportunities, but he constantly harassed the defense of FC Copenhagen, the team that until the match on Tuesday night was unbeaten in the League on arena Parken. Anelka made the difference through two-class striker completion. He opened the scoring shortly after the first quarter , taking advantage of Gronkjaer's error and solved the game in the first minutes of the second half after a combination with Lampard. The hosts looked in vain for the goal of honor and are now preparing for an exit League worthy."We are still alive" , were the first words of Ancelotti after the final whistle. Leaving aside the irony, the Italian coach "X-rayed" the result :"It is a good score for us, considering that we have played under some pressure. We wanted a positive result and we got it. It would be a mistake to believe we are already qualified, we will carefully approach the rematch. Anelka has played tremendous, but I'd say that Torres was the key to victory - he is the striker, he creates danger. He was unlucky because he did not scored, but made a fantastic match."
Solbakken Stale, the man who managed to bring Copenhagen beyond the group stages , he admitted with fair-play that his students have been dwarfed by the Londoners: "We were beaten by a better and stronger team. We committed too many technical errors, and when we had some good moments of play, we didn't take advantage of them. Perhaps we made a mistake by putting Gronjkaer in the middle, since it didn't help us too much to recovery. Overall, we did not managed to raise up to the desired level. "
The return Chelsea - FC Copenhagen will be played at Stamford Bridge on 16 March.
