Chelsea triumphed on penalties over Manchester United after a 2-2 draw in today's Community Shield season opener at Wembley, and Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti seemed satisfied that his team had shown the character to cope with a difficult test from Manchester United.
"We are happy because we won a very difficult match," he told Sky Sports News.
"Manchester [United] played better than Chelsea in the first half. They went up by one goal and for us it was a very difficult first half. Second half was better for Chelsea, because we put more strength into the game, we put in more quality.
"We draw, and then we won with a decisive score from Lampard," concluded the smiling Chelsea coach.
The Blues had a disastrous start to the game, conceding from a Nani effort inside the first ten minutes, before Ricardo Carvalho and Frank Lampard put them into the lead. A Wayne Rooney stoppage time equaliser sent the game to a penalty shoot-out, which Chelsea won 4-1.
