Didier Drogba Warns Team-Mates: Next Three Games Will Be Critical To Our Title Hopes

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba believes the club's next three Premier League games will be vital to their title aspirations.
The club have taken just five points from a possible 18 in recent weeks, and lost to Olympique Marseille in the Champions League on Wednesday.
It is not the kind of form to go into the next three games with, not least because they face title rivals Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal before the new year.
The current Premier League champions have let a five point lead at the top of the table turn into a two point deficit, and they are looking a far cry from the team that demolished teams in the first two months of the season.
Drogba said in the Evening Standard: "Obviously these three games are not coming at the right time for us but they will change the situation we're in now if we win them. It's not finished yet.
"It's a difficult moment for us but this is the kind of thing that can happen to many teams.
"It's rare for Chelsea to have a period like this and I hope it's going to get better.
"It's not getting any easier because we have Tottenham next but not a lot of people expected us to lose to Marseille or expected Chelsea to have a difficult moment."
"Maybe everyone will expect us to lose on Sunday but it could be different.
"I see Tottenham as genuine title rivals. They're having a good season and there is no reason why they can't challenge.
"Chelsea used to beat them regularly but things change, that's life. It is up to us to make it happen again."

Anderlecht Defender Victor Bernardez On Rangers Radar

According to a report in Het Nieuwsblad, Scottish titleholder Rangers are closely monitoring the situation of Honduras international Victor Bernardez, currently under contract with Europa League hopefuls Anderlecht.
Rangers manager Walter Smith is supposedly looking to add to his ranks in the January transfer window and the Glasgow side apparently see the 28-year-old Bernardez as the perfect defensive reinforcement.
Bernardez started his professional career with Vida and also played for Motagua before joining Anderlecht in January 2009.
The defender has failed to secure regular first team action at the Brussels giants though and could therefore be on the move again in the winter transfer window.
The full-back's current contract with Anderlecht runs until the summer of 2012, but Anderlecht are believed to be ready to cash in on Bernardez if a good offer comes in.

We Must Show That We Are Strong At The Mestalla - Valencia Striker Roberto Soldado

Valencia striker Roberto Soldado has claimed that the club must begin to show their strength at home if they are to maintain a challenge for the top four in the Primera Division.
Los Che are currently four points behind Espanyol, who currently occupy the final Champions League spot in the table, but have already dropped home points this season to Zaragoza and Mallorca.
Speaking to journalists today, the attacker, who has netted nine goals in the league and Europe this season, stated that teams must once again become fearful of travelling to the Mestalla, starting with Osasuna on Monday evening.
He claimed: “There are no easy matches, and we want to take advantage of the fitness of the team ans how strong we can be at the Mestalla. To be in the running at the end of the season, the Mestalla has to be a fortress. It is true that two games escaped us at home, but the team has reacted well.
“Osasuna will be a very difficult match against a team that defends well. They are strong physically and we will have to play very tough. I am eager and have energy to play at home, score, and please the fans.”

Emmanuel Eboue: Forget Barcelona And Real Madrid, We Must Focus On Man Utd

Emmanuel Eboue insists it was vital Arsenal progressed to the last 16 of the Champions League but now they must fully focus ahead of Monday’s Premier League clash with Manchester United.
The Gunners qualified for the knockout phase of Europe's premier competition with a 3-1 win over Partizan Belgrade. Arsene Wenger’s side finished second in the group and could now face either Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Schalke.
But Eboue wants his side to put the thoughts of Barca and Real to one side as they prepare for the massive Premier League showdown against Sir Alex Ferguson’s side.
"It is the most important thing to go through. We are little disappointed, but that is football," Eboue told the club's official website.
"For us it doesn't matter who we play.
"We are strong so we need to concentrate, work hard and always be together - if we can continue to play like this then we can beat any team.
"But we try to forget about the Champions League and think about the game against Manchester United on Monday.
"It is a massive game and it will be very difficult for both teams.”
The Ivorian defender claims there is huge belief running through the Arsenal dressing room and if they continue to work they can keep winning, starting at Old Trafford on Monday.
He added: "We always believe in ourselves and we just need to continue how we are playing and if we do that, we can beat them."
"At the moment we are top of the league and we are happy about that.
"But we have to not put our head up, we have to keep it down and continue to work hard on the pitch."
