Blueboy 14 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 ANCELOTTI: BELLETTI COULD SOLVE PROBLEM Posted on: Tue 23 Feb 2010 Carlo Ancelotti is tipping Juliano Belletti to cover at left-back in what he believes will be a very even game against Inter at the San Siro. The Brazilian utility player has been out for a month with a knee injury, and has never before played down the left for Chelsea, but his manager has confidence that he can compensate for the absence of Yury Zhirkov and Ashley Cole on Wednesday night. 'Definitely it's a problem, we are missing two important players,' Ancelotti conceded. 'Belletti is back, he has been training all week and has been training well. We will definitely find a solution however Ashley Cole and Zhirkov are going to be missed.' Paulo Ferreira will also be missing as he is not registered for Champions League competition, meaning the left-back berth is likely to be between Belletti and Florent Malouda, who can also play a deeper role.(....)Chelseafc.com-----------Let's hope for christ's sake that Belletti is going to slot in at left-back, not Malouda!!!

James 5,318 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Whos going to be on the right for Inter? Maicon and?I'd rather have Ivanovic there, not many players beat him if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maicon and?I'd rather have Ivanovic there, not many players beat him if any.They'll play a fairly narrow diamond, I guess. Along the lines of Cambiasso; Zanetti, Muntari; Sneijder. Only real winger as such they have is Quaresma. So defensively, we should be okay in the full back positions.And, Nani skinned Ivanovic all day (well, first half) long at the Community Shield, so I wouldn't say that Jim.

diskoviolente 425 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Yes but that was in the C-Shield in pre-season so to say.but Ivanovic was outstanding everygame he´s played so far imo. Belletti at left-back should work. That is a genius of an utilitiy player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueboy 14 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Does anynone know how long Zhirkov is out? Because we will have this problem for a longer period if he isn't back soon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
