Ancelotti takes Blues to task after shaky victory over Cypriots

Nicosia (Cyprus), Oct.1 (ANI): Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti took his under performing team to task after their shaky victory against the Cypriots here.The Italian read the riot act to his players in the dressing room and admitted Chelsea were lucky to win thanks to Nicolas Anelka's strike.

"I'm not satisfied. I wanted Chelsea to play better and to take more control, to play with courage. We have to change, for sure," The Sun quoted him, as saying.

"The players did strong work, they ran a lot. But we have to play better. We lost a lot of balls in the second half. We allowed Nicosia back into the game," he added."Now, we have time to rest and prepare well for this important game against Liverpool. But we will not play on Sunday like we did here. We will play better," he said.Chelsea skipper John Terry said: "This is a difficult place to come. Teams are getting better and better in the Champions League. We did a good job. But we have to improve against Liverpool. They are a very good side and will be up for it when we play them." (ANI)
