Just a month ago for a Czech all went worse than ever: on the field, he appeared on major holidays, the team eked out a miserable existence at the bottom of the table, and soccer, which she professed, was completely alien to him. But hardly nastupil February, everything had changed: winning the championship, a permanent place in the composition and, finally, League Cup. Call the correspondent "SE" found Yiraneka in good spirits.
- How to celebrate a victory?

- As usual in such cases, sat with the guys in the restaurant, then went together to the club. In general, pointed out well.

- Lossless?

- All right. Monday we have the day off.

- It's your first trophy in a long time?

- Yes, it was something serious I have not succumbed to a long time - almost nine years. In 2002 we won the Youth European Championship. Although bronze and Euro-2004 in Portugal, I also think the trophy.

- The Czech Republic is also likely that a win?

- Yes, it was a victory in the Cup with a "Slovan" back in 2000. From Cup to Cup entire eleven years! It's a pity we in Russia with Spartak nothing but silver, not submitted.

- Recently you said that you regret about leaving England. Much has changed, is not it?

- Certainly. Now I understand: that is done, all the better. Football career in any case does not stand still, and something to spare, probably stupid. What should have happened, happened. While on his word about returning to Russia, I can not refuse. Just to be postponed.

- Do not exclude the transition to a Russian club?

- Of course not. Constantly studying options in Russia and would like to play in your country. Another thing, now of Birmingham, "I will not let nobody, and it would be wrong to leave in such a situation. In front of a lot of hard matches. But look what happens in the summer. After finishing the season in England will definitely be back to this issue.

- "The Pearl", which is rumored to have led the negotiations with you, this state of affairs suits?

- These things engaged my agent. I do not know all the details.

- At Birmingham's goal for the season the same?

- In the championship we now have two games less than the rest. Let's see how they will develop. Quite possibly, be able to compete for a spot at the top of the table. Although the main task, of course - to stay in the Premiership. We should not forget that we still play in the FA Cup. We have a chance to get to the finals, we always try to use it.

- After winning the Carling Cup this problem, perhaps, it seems doable.

- Of course, this is a very good momentum. Main only to success has not played us a cruel joke. You can not rest on our laurels, we must work.

- With Obafemi Martins to score the winning goal, Russia, remember?

- Communicate, of course. Tell me something about staying in the "Ruby", although most speak on other topics. And the news from Russia watch on the internet.

- Read about the arrival of "Anji" Roberto Carlos?

- Are you asking? It's main Transfer bomb.

- Would you like to play with him in the same team? Yiranek like the good old days, right, Roberto Carlos on the left.

- Oh, it would be very interesting! Here are just let first call of "Anji".

Yesterday's opponents is highly undesirable to play a draw. And, in regard to Chelsea is still very mildly, as many in the camp of the Blue thought this match perhaps the last chance to return to the title race. If this uttered even Fernando Torres, just a month ago who moved to Stamford Bridge, then to say nothing of the recognized leaders of the team Ancelotti.

If, however, to talk about Manchester United, then using the lighter calendar Arsenal in the Premier League, Devils absolutely can not lose points, even if rivals Chelsea and myself.

Therefore, no buildup was not. Already in the opening match, van der Sar was forced into the game after hitting Malouda, but gradually the visitors took control of the ball. Manchester United midfield superbly played in a pass, constantly finding the free partners. In this tradition, assisted by midfielder extreme fullbeki (especially Evra) and Wayne Rooney, now and then give it back. However, after a counter-field just a little near passed with Wayne after lumbago Evra is in the penalty area.

But the pressure on the gates of Cech's not subsided, and in one attack mankuniantsev too much freedom given all the same Rooney, who shook the ball beautifully and gasped at the left top six.

As gradually as United seized the advantage, as leisurely in the late half of its intercepted and Chelsea and United saved by a miracle (as well as van der Sar and Vidic), when, after a free kick from Lampard and Save Keeper Ivanovic beat the Devils, it seemed likely, but my Dutch and the Serbs were a different opinion - the first reflected in the Neman, the second flight of the ball-feeding blocked into the net.

But the visitors did not heed bells at the beginning of the second half continued to lie in ambush. Yes, that's only in this ambush suddenly for Manchester United was mishandled Kozachok - David Louis, which nobody noticed. Brazilian beautiful gathering mankuniantsev punished for the failure of the discount, irresistibly struck in the lower right corner.

United failed to adequately answer his opponent, while Chelsea added even more, and simply did crush Devils. In one of the same attacks Zhirkov found Smalling leg and was on the lawn. Episode occurred in the penalty area and the referee saw a foul shot. Sentence as confidently performed Lampard.

After that Blue did not think complacency (the hosts stepped up the attack, who replaced Drogba), and once again a higher power intervened in the matter of saving the guests on true goals after hitting Zhirkov.

Further evidence of broken MJ in the end the match - Remove Vidic. The Serb, who had been in the passive yellow card, frankly flunked Drogba, for which he was asked for from the field. It was happy not only fans of Chelsea, but certainly also fans of Liverpool, which Sir Alex will play on Sunday.

Head coach of Chelsea Carlo Ancelotti admitted that his team defender David Luiz could be removed in a match against Manchester United. Also, a mentor, said that the victory over the leader retained for the Blues' hopes for a championship.

Strong-willed victory over leading the Premier League for Manchester United with a score of 2:1 allowed Chelsea back into the four and close the gap to the top to 12 points. At the same wards Ancelotti have game in hand and in the remainder of the season once again play with the "Red Devils".

Ancelotti admitted that his team in some way fortunate to avoid removal Louis - in general, the coach admitted it has during the match, from sin by replacing the Brazilian defender, already had "yellow card" and strongly suggests the second.

"The game was a very energetic, and every time the referee was not easy to decide. David Louis was lucky, but the field is so many things that the referee saw nothing in that episode."

"We showed a good game, and our hopes are still alive. It was a very difficult match. Our withstood a fantastic competitor, but we were good and kept moving forward, even losing. Our game has maintained focus, energy and power. If you can not play well, then beat Manchester United will not work. "

Manchester United is still far away from us, but most importantly - it's our game. In front of a lot of games and we are ready to demonstrate their best football "- quoted Ancelotti Sky Sports.
