COBHAM, United Kingdom - coach of Chelsea Carlo Ancelotti insists he would never make pressure on referees in the same way as manager of Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson.
Carlo Ancelotti knows that the role of referee Howard Webb will be crucial when his side go for a victory at Old Trafford Sunday that would put in pole position to retain the Premier League title.
Ferguson believes Chelsea have benefited from the mistakes made by officials at its meetings of the last three in the League with the Blues and gave him a line key five-match ban after the launch of an astonishing attack on referee Martin Atkinson after the defeat of 2-1 United at Stamford Bridge in March.
The Scot has never been shy about officials critical and often used his press conferences to call for strong arbitration before big games.
But Ancelotti believes that the kind of behaviour presents a bad image of the sport and it is inflexible managers earn nothing from removing their frustrations on the officials.
"You don't get an advantage to speak against the arbitrator." "The decision is already made," said Carlo Ancelotti.
"For the image of football you also have a social responsibility." For young children which consider you as an Idol, image, and off the field is important.
"Sometimes when things are not good you can talk about the things that go against you."
"But I do not want to put pressure on the referee." Howard Webb is a fantastic arbitrator, he has the skills to manage the opportunity.
"If the arbitrator has no experience, perhaps you can be a little worried about it but there is no problem with Webb."
"I have confidence in arbitrators in England." They make mistakes, but this is normal, you accept that or you have to say there is a conspiracy and I do not believe that.
The stakes could not be higher Sunday as a win means Chelsea go top, before the United States on the difference in goals, with only two games to go, while a victory for the team Ferguson will leave needing them one point for a record of the 19th title of the League.
Carlo Ancelotti believes his team have a psychological advantage on the United States, because they have nothing to lose, while the leaders would be shaken to surrender first place after holding a lead of 15 points on Chelsea at a given time.
"Mentally we can have an advantage because I think that Man United hopes that they have to play this kind of game against us", says Carlo Ancelotti.
"If they had more than one advantage that they could have a different set, a perhaps more easy." They were now fighting for the title, perhaps two or three weeks that they didn't think they would have to fight so much.
"They had a fantastic record at home this season and they have attracted a single game but now it is time for us to win."
If Chelsea lose Sunday, it will inevitably have renewed speculation that Carlo Ancelotti will be sacked after a barren season.
Despite this, Carlo Ancelotti does not believe that the result of the match on Sunday will be decide his future.
"I do not think, do," he said. "The behavior of the club is the same, nothing has changed with a victory or defeat, they have maintained a very good support for me."
"I am calm." If they decide to change there is no problem. It is not crazy to think that they may change because each club has the option to do late in the season.
"I tried to do my best." They must check my work. If they think it's good, I will stay. ?
