Don’t expect beautiful football every time, Scolari to Chelsea fans

Chelsea football team manager-cum-coach Phil Scolari has told the club’s fans not to expect beautiful football in every match.

Preparing his players for tonight’s Champions League Group A crunch with Roma, Scolari insisted that winning is more important than style.

The Sun quoted Scolari as saying: “It’s a pleasure, not only for me but for the players, that people like Chelsea’s football. But I want to say something to Chelsea fans – we play beautiful football but we need three points every game. Sometimes, if it’s impossible to play beautiful football, we’ll follow the three points.”

Chelsea is a long way from repeating the feat of last season’s Champions League final appearance just yet. But French winger Florent Malouda agrees they are now playing the best football of his time at the club. (ANI)
