Chelsea creates ’sensation of fear’ in opponents’ penalty area: Drogba
August 28th, 2010 - 7:02 pm ICT by ANILondon, Aug 28(ANI): Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has said that their next opponents Stoke City have a great reason to be frightened of facing the reigning Premier League champions today.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men have started the new season in fantastic fashion knocking in 12 goals in two games with back-to-back 6-0 wins over West Brom and Wigan.
“We create such a sensation of fear in our opponents’ penalty area - and that really helps us score. We have developed a perfect system. We practise so many different situations thousands of times in training so it becomes automatic in games,” The Sun quoted Drogba, as saying.
“It may look easy, but the secret is work, work and more work each day. And, while Ancelotti is an Italian coach, we do not play a defensive Italian style. That is how we were successful last season so there is no reason to change,” he added.
However, he did admit that Stoke City would be determined to avoid conceding goals, following last season’s 7-0 thrashing.
“Last season we beat Stoke 7-0, but I am convinced they will see this as a chance to gain revenge. They will be determined to avoid conceding goals, so it will not be so easy even though we are in good form,” Drogba said. (ANI)
