It's Carlo Factor

Six wins in six. That's the proper headline for a rampant and high flying Chelsea, the only team left with a 100 percent record to the start of 2009/10 Barclays Premierleague season.
One thing that is very obvious right now has to be the effectiveness of Carlo Ancelotti's famous 4-4-2 diamond formation. Since his arrival to the club as a manager, he implied this tactics with no hesitation whatsoever.Although many football pundits did not convinced with him playing Florent Malouda, a natural winger on a more central midfield role, but so far his decision seemed very right. Malouda never looked awkward playing the role, instead he enjoyed himself.
Espnstar.com football pundit, Jamie Reeves was the person who criticized the partnership of Anelka and Drogba, stating that Drogba is better when playing up alone on his own. Well, after the duo's marvelous performance in game against Fulham, suddenly all the critics were silenced. The game ended with both player assisting each other for the goal they scored.
In the post-game interview of last night's game, Ashley Cole stated that Carlo gave his full-backs freedom to go forward anytime possible and it paid off last night after he finished the game scoring one goal. There were many more wisdoms on Carlo Ancelotti appointment, but so far these are the most obvious ones.
