Man City still in Premier League title race: Ancelotti
January 1st, 2010 - 4:24 pm ICT by ANI
London, Jan.1 (ANI): Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti insists Manchester City are still in the Barclays Premier League title race this season under Italian coach Roberto Mancini.
The Mirror quoted Ancelotti, as saying: “A lot of teams will be involved in the fight for the title. I don’t want to forget Arsenal, I don’t want to forget Manchester City or any other teams. I don’t know if Arsenal, Aston Villa, Tottenham or Liverpool can fight for the title, but I know that to play against them is not easy.”
He added: “I think the last results, the result of Manchester City above all, show they have an opportunity to return to the top four.
“It’s a very competitive championship, this. Staying at the top of the list, for us, for six months is a very good situation. We did a very good job in these six months to maintain this first place in the league.”
Ancelotti, however, believes Mancini will find it difficult to attract top players to Eastlands when the January transfer window opens. (ANI)
