Ancelotti praises English game
Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has heaped praise on English football both on and off the pitch.
The Blues head to Stoke this weekend having won all of their four league starts so far this term.
Brimming with confidence ahead of their visit to the Britannia Stadium this weekend, Ancelotti hopes his side will continue their winning streak in front of yet another strong Blues following.
Heaping praise on the English game, the Blues supremo has gone as far as saying the Italians could learn from clubs in the Premier League.
Approaching subjects such as violence and racism, he admitted the Italian game lacks such discipline.
Spectacle"People go to the stadium to see a spectacle," said Ancelotti. "In Italy unfortunately it isn't like that.
"People there don't have this sense for spectacle. In Italy we still have violence, so I hope that in Italy it will change soon, and that people go to the stadium to see an exciting match, like in England, and to support their team - not using violence and racist taunts towards the players.
"It is something nice and interesting to see here [in England]," he added.
"I like it because all the stadiums are full and work very well. It's a very positive experience."
Blues striker Didier Drogba seems to have adapted well to the Blues' unselfish style of play.
The Ivorian striker, though, has confessed he sometimes feels his efforts go unnoticed.
"I often sacrifice myself for the good of the team," Drogba said.
"I don't look at my scoring statistics. Have you ever seen any other great striker do as much defending as I do?
"We are very confident, and relaxed as well. Our team is solid and physically very strong."
Keeping in line with the Blues boss, he added: "Carlo Ancelotti is highly respected here, and the players regard him as one of us.
"That's why I consider the spirit within the camp to be really good."
