Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sat, 11/21/2009 - 23:34

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti says two-goal Michael Essien is too good to have a nickname.

Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho nicknamed Essien 'The Train', but Ancelotti is not one for off-the-cuff monikers.

Asked if he had his own personal pet name for Essien, boss Ancelotti replied after victory over Wolves: "No, his name is Michael. I think Essien is one of the most important players in midfield in the world.

"He can play everywhere in midfield with the same result. He has shown a lot of consistency this season and maintained a good physical condition. He is very strong but he also has a lot of quality."
