The former Bolton player has asserted that the Blues’ old guard with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Lampard-c14097 are not done with yet as they still have a lot to contribute to Chelsea in the near future...
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 is still willing and able to play a decisive role in the club’s history as they have shown through their performances for the club in the UEFA Champions League. Frank Lampard
and Didier Drogba both started the Champions League final against Bayern Munich whilst John Terry missed out courtesy of his red card against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the second leg of the semi-finals.
 It was Drogba who kept Chelsea in the match as his header resulted in an equalizing goal for the Blues after Thomas Muller had scored for Bayern down the other end. In extra time, Drogba’s clumsiness led to a penalty being awarded
to Bayern Munich but the subsequent effort from Robben was easily saved by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Petr-Cech-c29837.
It came upon the Ivory Coast striker in the end to take the decisive penalty in the penalty shootout as well, a moment that brought out the best in him as he slotted the spot kick away with relative ease. Lampard was also a standout
performer on the night but now there is speculation about whether or not a revamp is needed at Chelsea with the old guard playing more subsidiary role rather than a leading one.
Cahill said, "I don't see it being the end. Frank Lampard was fantastic. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ashley-Cole-c6809 was amazing and he's probably been the best left-back in the world for many years. Didier, again, turned up, the big man for the big occasion.”
He added, "I felt pressure because, obviously, the skipper wasn't there, because of the size of the game and what it meant to the club - obviously playing the Champions League next season [only if we won] - however much you want
to try to play it down in your head and relax, you knew it was a massive, massive game.”
