Fresh from making his 80th career appearance in Europe, Ashley Cole has revealed his hunger and desire to win the Champions League and has confirmed it's the club's focus for the remainder of the season.
He said:
"I played from a young age in the Champions League so I just want to keep it going. I have missed out on the medal but it is always nice playing in the Champions League. It is something not many players from here have won so it means a lot to us. I have been in the final twice and defeated twice and it is not a good feeling. Hopefully this season will be different, it will be one to remember.
I am just desperate to win the Champions League and if I can do it in a Chelsea shirt that will be an amazing achievement for me. After starting the season so well, we then had this dip in form, it wasn't going for us, and of course it has left us where we are now, It is not a good position for us, we know we have to do better, we want to do better.
We are out of the FA Cup, the Carling Cup, we're never going to give up on the League but the Champions League is probably now the main focus for us to win because obviously not many people here have won that one."
Of course, I forgot he also lost the final with the Arse. I have to say and I know it's a bit late in the day for Chelsea but I believe we will have a good chance to progress to the final stages of the competition as no one will want to come and play us (apart from Jose). Of course maybe I am counting my chickens here, but we should get the job done against Copenhagen in the second leg in three weeks time to go through to the quarter finals.
However, after JT spoke yesterday, I just wonder if in a couple of weeks time, our focus also switches back to the Premier League in addition to Europe, if we can get a run of wins together?.
Despite a poor run of form this season which we all agree on, there is still so much to play for.
KTBFFH.
