http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Salomon-Kalou-c32266 wants Chelsea fighting for EPL and UEFA Champions League silverwares
Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou is optimistic his club can still accomplish their dream of lifting the English Premier League (EPL) and Champions League titles. Chelsea have made it clear this weekend that they were still very much in the title race when they
dragged an emphatic victory over Manchester United in a nail-biting thriller. The Blues stunned Manchester United at Stamford Bridge by getting an impressive 2-1 win in what could be called as the perfect comeback by Carlo Ancelotti’s men.
The Ivory Coast International spoke to reporters on the team’s chances of claiming the Champions League title, saying, “We have to fight for both competitions. Even though in the Premier League it will be more difficult to win it. We have to keep believing
and take it game by game.”
Mathematically speaking, Chelsea cannot be written off yet, but realistically speaking, they have very low chances to reach the Premier League winging podium this time around. Chelsea are fourth on the EPL table, but are lagging behind leaders Manchester
United by 12 points.
Chelsea Manager Carlo Ancelotti has confessed that it would be difficult for them to win the EPL for the second successive time and believes the Champions League is the only competition which they can realistically pursue. The Blues’ impressive run in the
Champions League continues as they have beaten FC Copenhagen 2-0 in the first leg match of the Champions League last-16 tie.
Frenchman http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nicolas-Anelka-c27786 will remember the match for a long time to come as his two mindboggling goals helped out-of-form Blues to gain confidence ahead of some tricky matches coming their way.
The 25-year-old Kalou said, “I think we are showing the good side of Chelsea, because we can't just fight for one competition, we always fight for every competition.” The striker believes that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s good form at Wembley Stadium makes them the favourites
to win their first ever Champion League trophy in their history in case they qualify for the final. The Champions League final will be played on 28th May at Wembley Stadium, which is England’s national stadium. The ground has a seating capacity of 90,000 people.
Kalou joined Chelsea on 30th May, 2006, for a yet undisclosed fee, which is believed to be around about £9 million. The 2010-11 EPL season is the fifth season he is playing as a Chelsea member. He has made over 200 appearances for the club and has scored
more than 50 goals for the Blues.
Kalou has said that Wembley is his favourite hunting ground. He said, “I love playing at Wembley. It is a great stadium. It has an amazing atmosphere and it is a special place for us.” Kalou has proven to be lucky for Chelsea, as the Blues have never been
beaten in any final since Kalou joined the club.
