'two-horse race' says Ballack


Big derby wins over the weekend from Chelsea (over Spurs) and Manchester United (over Man City) have left the two teams in the pole position in the English Premier League.

Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack raves about the influence of Carlo Ancelotti to the Telegraph, and about the two-team race between his side and their rivals from Manchester.

“Since he has been here we have played very well. Under him we changed the system – which gives us more possession and makes the game feel a little bit more comfortable even if we don’t create one chance after another, because we know the situation will come."

"It looks a little bit like a two-horse race but we don't underestimate anybody. Man City did well until now. Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool are all teams that can have a run any time of the season."

"But United have a lot of good years behind them with the Champions League win and three title wins in the Premier League, which will give them a lot of confidence."

“That’s what he always tells us – you have to wait for your chance and you can see it now when they come, we are deadly. He gives the team a lot of confidence.”
