Andrey Kanchelskis: Chelsea could miss out on the Champions League if they play like that

Former Manchester United Russian winger Andrey Kanchelskis commented on his former side’s comeback against Chelsea on Sunday and reflected on the London club’s chances of playing Champions League football next year.

«Sir Alex has once again proven that he is a true professional. It is hard for me to judge the situation inside the Chelsea camp, but the team rarely looks completely focussed, there are signs of a lack of confidence in their every game,» said the former Russian international in an interview to Russian newspaper Izvestia.

«I can imagine them not making the top-four this year and, if that happens, Villas-Boas is likely to get the sack. The fans probably should not count on winning this season’s European Cup either.»
