Chelsea boss Ancelotti claims English more sporting than Italians

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is critical of his countryman in an interview in La Gazzetta dello Sport, for not being as sporting as the English.

Already he has noticed several differences between the football culture in his adopted home and Italy.

"The first thing is the stadiums. Here in England they're attractive, comfortable, suited to the show," he said.

"In Italy, they're not. And then there's the fans who here go to a game to be entertained and not to get angry with the referee or the opponents.

"It's more sporting, it's a different culture. Here there's more of a sporting culture."

He admitted the toughest thing so far about his switch is adapting to a new language.

"It's improving. It's difficult but I'm trying hard. I can't tell you how many times people have asked me 'why didn't you study English at school'.

"At 50 it's never easy to start learning a new language.

"(Ray) Wilkins helps me out, although by now everyone understands me. If I get angry I shout in Italian but that's basic phrases that everyone understands."
