Now Carlo Ancelotti's eyes are set on Chelsea's first ever Double
Carlo Ancelotti slept for only two hours after Chelsea's exit from Europe and has been suffering from Double vision ever since.[LNB]After losing to Inter Milan in the Champions League, Ancelotti has resolved to win both the Barclays Premier League and the FA Cup.[LNB]Eleven wins will guarantee Chelsea the first Double in their history and take the heat off the Italian manager who believes one day he will bring the European Cup to Stamford Bridge.[LNB] Hold off: Carlo Ancelotti will not bow to pressure and remains intent on winning the Champions League at Chelsea despite their exit this week (below)[LNB] 'We have shifted objectives,' said Ancelotti. 'We were focused on the Champions League and now we've changed our aim. To think we can do the Double is good motivation for everyone at this club. [LNB]'We have 11 games, 52 days until the end of the season, to do our job. I have spoken to my assistants and my players to stress this.[LNB]'It is a new motivation for me also. I needed this because of what happened on Tuesday. It is a good statistic. Only five teams have won the Double.'[LNB]In fact there are six Preston, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United but two major trophies ought to satisfy Chelsea's trigger-happy owner Roman Abramovich.[LNB]Ancelotti added: 'I have had pressure every year since I started to train in 1995. It is normal for me to be under pressure and the pressuregrows when you arrive at the end of the season when every game can decide our future.[LNB]'The last game decided our future in the Champions League and we are out. Maybe we can do something in the Premier League and the FA Cup. I can cope with the pressure.'[LNB]Eye on the prize: Carlo Ancelotti won the Champions League twice as a manager of AC Milan[LNB]Even if he wins nothing, Ancelotti is confident he will not be sacked. [LNB]'I am sure, 100 per cent,' he insisted. 'We have had a very good season in the Premier League. Chelsea have not been in this position in recent seasons. Our destiny is in our own hands. They have always been behind in the last four years.'[LNB]As for the future of his players, the manager was more cryptic. [LNB]'With a new season, there are new faces, this is normal,' he said.[LNB]Abramovich was not impressed by what he saw against Inter and visited the training ground to speak to the manager and the players.[LNB]'Roman came to support us,' said Ancelotti. 'He knows football very well and knows we are involved in important competitions, so his presence was very good. People like Abramovich and Berlusconi know how to motivate and support their teams.'[LNB]The Chelsea manager recalled how AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi had reacted after his team surrendered a 4-1 first-leg lead to Deportivo La Coruna in a Champions League quarter-final in 2004.[LNB]'He was disappointed and angry,' said Ancelotti. 'But we were top of the league and we changed focus immediately to Serie A and we won it. [LNB]'It is not easy because the disappointment stays. You have to put it out of your head and concentrate.'[LNB]Ancelotti did not watch Friday's draw for the quarter-finals, scheduling training for exactly the same time, but the competition still cast its shadow across Chelsea's training ground.[LNB]'It is my dream to bring the Champions League to Stamford Bridge,' said Ancelotti. 'I think I will. I don't have time to think about it now. Unfortunately.'
