Ancelotti adamant over Torres

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is confident Roman Abramovich would never try to force him to play Fernando Torres or any other big-money signing.

Ancelotti said on Friday that he would have no qualms dropping the misfiring striker for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Manchester United if he felt it would give the Blues the best chance of turning the tie around.
Rumours persist the £50million signing of Torres was one of Abramovich's whims, something Ancelotti has always denied.
Asked if he feared Abramovich's reaction were he to leave Torres out on Tuesday, the Italian said: "No, I never thought that.
"Roman's so intelligent, he'd never ask me not to do this."
He added: "Fernando might not start against United, of course.
"I have to choose the players, not comparing the players with the money the club paid for them.
"I have to choose the line-up looking at the training sessions, the condition of the players and the spirit. Fernando knows this very well."
Torres has now gone more than 12 hours without scoring, all but two of those in a Chelsea shirt.
It has led to obvious comparisons with Andriy Shevchenko, another striker reportedly signed at Abramovich's behest who proved to be an expensive flop.
Ancelotti, who sold Shevchenko to Chelsea while in charge at AC Milan, refused to be drawn on the similarities and claimed everyone associated with the club was willing Torres to come good.
"As soon as he scores his first goal, it will be like every Chelsea fan will have scored," he said.
"Don't judge a player by the money he earns or that the club paid for the transfer. Judge by his behaviour on the pitch.
"And he has fantastic behaviour here now, as a worker, not just to score."
He added: "I've spoken with him a lot of times, to stay focused on the job and confident. If the aim was just to score, he'd play every game. But we want him fit to work for the team.

"We don't ask him to score, score, score every time. This is not the right way to help him."
Neither is withdrawing him from the firing line, according to Ancelotti.
"Obviously, I don't know what he really feels inside, but outside he's relaxed, confident in training, he likes to joke and have fun in training," he said.
"I don't see him afraid or worried."
Statistics appear to show Torres has lost some of his blistering pace following an injury-blighted 2010.
But Ancelotti said: "He was not 100 per cent when he arrived here.
"The big problem was in the summer when he had a tear on his hamstring. But in the last few months, he has improved."

Bendtner looks for winning formula

Nicklas Bendtner maintains Arsenal must dig deep to find the "DNA of champions" if they are to get their title bid back on track at Blackpool.
The Gunners head to Bloomfield Road on Sunday in search of a first league win since February 23 and coming off a six-week spell which threatens to derail another campaign which had promised so much.

Aston Villa vs. Newcastle
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger accepted his team were "flat" in last weekend's frustrating goalless draw against 10-man Blackburn at Emirates Stadium which left them seven points behind leaders Manchester United, albeit with a match in hand and the teams still to meet on May 1.
Earlier that afternoon, United had battled back from 2-0 down to win at West Ham.
It is such determination which critics claim Wenger's young Gunners have lacked this season, losing the Carling Cup final at Wembley before crashing out of both Europe and the FA Cup.
Bendtner, however, has every faith his team-mates can show the needed character over the remaining eight matches to secure a dream end to the season.
"We just have to pick ourselves up and get going. There will still be more twists and turns in this championship. We are still in with a chance," Bendtner told Arsenal TV Online.
"I firmly believe if we win all of our last eight games we will be champions, but we have to give it absolutely everything.
"When it does not work for us and we don't play as well as we should we need people to run around, to make tackles and make it difficult for the other team.
"Everyone is really focused. The trust and the belief is there. We just have to put on the performance. We have to really battle."
Bendtner continued: "You have to put yourself in a mental state where despite disappointments you have to want to achieve goals - the DNA of a champion is that no matter what disappointment might happen, you have got to pick yourself up and keep going.
"This is really what we need to show."
The Denmark striker, however, insists there can be no repeat of last weekend's below-par display.
"Against Blackburn, we just did not look like we were challenging for the championship," he said.
"We have so much quality and it is a game we really should have put to bed.
"It looked like nothing was going and we did not put in everything which we should have been putting in, so it was a very frustrating game."
The Tangerines - who were thrashed 6-0 at Emirates Stadium at the start of the season - have lost 11 of the last 14 league games and they have plummeted down the table.
The home of the best LIVE soccer and rugby awaits at FoxSoccer.tv -- don't miss a second of the action.
Nevertheless, Bendtner insists Ian Holloway's men cannot be taken lightly.
"Blackpool have had some surprising results at home," he said.
"They seem to battle through every single minute, they are not an easy team so we need to be really serious when we go there to compete."
Bendtner has seen his own progress hampered by a groin problem since his return from the World Cup.
However, the 23-year-old is now fully fit and is looking to build on his nine goals during the closing stages of the campaign.
"I try to make an impact as much as I can," said Bendtner, often utilised from the bench.
"I would have liked to have played a little bit more and not have to worry too much about some problems I have had, so I am not overly pleased, no."
Bendtner continued: "I have been doing a lot of work in training.
"I always do a bit of finishing afterwards on my own and there were times last season where I had four or five chances and did not put one away.
"I thought that was very frustrating myself, kind of funny as well, luckily we still managed to win those games.
"But it is all about when you get your chance you have to take it."
