http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Sturridge-c10076 hopes that his performance against Manchester United in the Capital One Cup will help his chances of breaking into the first team on a more regular basis.
The striker who was signed from Manchester City has failed to make a name for himself in the starting eleven, but despite that fact he seems to almost always impress when he is on the pitch.
Having already scored against Tottenham earlier in the season, he went on to add to that record by finding the back of the net against United.
The forward did miss an opportunity or two in the game, but he has labelled those misses down to him not being in top form, due to the amount of time that he has had to spend on the side lines.
Sturridge, when talking about his determination to break into the first team at Stamford Bridge is reported to have said: "I've been out of any sort starting positions and any substantial minutes so I didn't feel as sharp in front of goal"
"When you train you can score as many goals but it's completely different in a game. I'm delighted I scored but I know I need to get sharper.”
"I'm really happy the manager gave me an opportunity up front today because that's what I've wanted throughout my http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 career.”
"That's probably one of five starts I've had as striker so I'm just really happy he's put faith in me tonight and hopefully he'll do it again in future."
He then went on to talk about the game, and how it was important for the Blues to take the win from the game, since it would help them build confidence and go into the coming weekends fixtures looking to prove a point.
"It's important we came out here with the right attitude because in the previous game the manager emphasised that we didn't start the game well enough," Sturridge added.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo seems to be making the right moves at the club, and should he continue to do the same, then the team is bound to progress even further in the future.
It is now a wait to see whether Sturridge gets to break into the first team in the near future or not.
