Chelsea have got off to a flying start 成功的開始 after the first week of the Premiership, with three wins over Hull, Sunderland and local rivals 對手 Fulham.

It’s surely just the sort of beginning that Chelsea’s new manager Carlo Ancelotti was looking for. After the match, he described the 2-0 win over Fulham as a “fantastic moment”.

Ancelotti pointed out that the match had extra significance since it was a derby – a match played between local teams.

In the first half of the game, Fulham played a very tight, defensive 緊湊的保守戰(zhàn)略 game. It was only a couple of minutes before the whistle 口哨聲（指比賽結束）that Nicolas Anelka managed to thread 精確的傳球 the ball from the right to Didier Drogba, who dropped it 輕輕的踢進去了 into the bottom right of the goal.

In the second half, Chelsea were the dominant force 有競爭優(yōu)勢壓著對方. The Blues’ second goal came 14 minutes before the end and it was another joint effort from Anelka and Drogba, this time with their roles reversed 角色對換.

A fast through ball 穿過對方防守的前傳球 from Drogba was all the fleet-footed 跑得很快的 Anelka needed to score from within the area 禁區(qū). Anelka was last season’s top goal-scorer and that form 狀態(tài) looks set to continue.

The fluid 流暢的 teamwork between the pair comes as a refutation 反駁 to critics who say that although the players are individually brilliant, they don’t work together very well.

“Yeah we both scored” Drogba said after the match, “and that’s nice, that’s really nice. We know that we can play together.”

Like his manager, the striker was keen to stress that Chelsea still have a lot of work to do in maintaining their current form. The Blues are currently second on the table, but all the indicators 跡象，征兆 are that this will be a very close-run 不相上下的 and interesting season, with a potential challenge to the dominance of the ‘big four’ 四大足球俱樂部.

As Drogba pointed out, it may be some time before there is a clear picture, or idea, of how this year’s league will shape up 成形.

“This is just the start you know. I think the picture will be better in two months.”
