Chelsea defender Alex has likened the club's impressive attacking style of play this season to Brazil.[LNB] Carlo Ancelotti's side have been in blistering form in league action this term, dropping just four points from their opening nine games.[LNB]The Blues have scored a whopping 25 goals while conceding just twice and Alex believes they are very much the Samba stars in England's top flight.[LNB]However, the 28-year-old thinks that Chelsea put a bit more composure into their defence while Brazil often prefer an all-out attack.[LNB]"The way we've been playing throughout this year, I'd liken us to Brazil," Alex told the club's official magazine.[LNB]"Brazilian teams have the same mentality. They just want to attack.[LNB]"However, there is one difference - here we try to have more composure in defence."[LNB]One thing missing in the Chelsea trophy cabinet is the Champions League and Alex hopes they can finally get that monkey off of their back.[LNB]The former PSV Eindhoven stopper is desperate to find the back of the net in the illustrious match and help Chelsea become European champions.[LNB]"Everyone has this dream," he continued. "Everyone wants to score in a Champions League final.[LNB]"In Brazil everybody says Chelsea need to win the Champions League."
