London, Oct 25(ANI): Chelsea defender Ashley Cole has said that being an experienced campaigner with the Blues, he is now focusing on winning on his first Premier League title with the team and another crack at the Champions League.
Cole, who has already won two Premier League titles and three FA Cups with his former team- Arsenal, believes that he can accomplish his aims through aggressive strategies.
“When players are young, they don’t really understand what’s happening to them. You play for fun. You think it’s a dream and it’s brilliant, but now it’s about pressure and we can’t enjoy it as much,” The News of the World quoted Cole, as saying.
“We have to win every game at Chelsea. The demands are greater and the motivation is to win trophies. Chelsea’s strengths are all about power and aggression, a different philosophy to Arsenal, but the ambitions are exactly the same,” he added.
The 28-year-old also admits that winning a trophy is the best way to celebrate all the hard work that a player puts in the season.
“There is no better feeling than the end of the season, celebrating on the pitch with a trophy. I want to show my kids what I’ve achieved when we start a family and that means winning more Premier League titles,” Cole said.
He further says that he dreams of having the respect that Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs gets at Old Trafford after spending 18 seasons with the team.
“What Giggs has done at Manchester United is amazing, he is the ultimate. Of course everyone wants to be loved and respected like that,” Giggs said.”I hope that that can happen for me. If people respect me for winning things then great, but I don’t expect it,” he added. (ANI)
