Ancelotti refusing to panic

Carlo Ancelotti insists there will be no panic buys at Chelsea following their dismal build-up to the new season. Blues boss Ancelotti watched his double winners beaten 3-1 by Manchester United in the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday, their fourth consecutive defeat as they prepare for their defence of the Barclays Premier League. Yossi Benayoun is the only senior player Chelsea have added to their squad this summer, while the arrival of Ramires is thought to be imminent. Otherwise, Ancelotti is happy with the resources at his disposal, insisting recent results reflect only the lack of time he has had to work with his World Cup players since they returned to training. And he laughed off the possibility of making further signings as a response to his side's current form. "Fortunately, it's pre-season," he said. "I think that there is time to come back to win. It was not a good pre-season for results. We lost four games but I think we did our best. We need for the players who came back the on July 26 to have more time to train."
