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."

Eintracht Frankfurt Looking To Loan Defender After Marco Russ Injury

With the news that centre-back Marco Russ will be require a knee operation, Eintracht Frankfurt look set to raid the transfer market next month in search of a replacement.
The 25-year old defender has been plagued with a meniscus problem since the start of the season.
"It could be quite a serious injury, which will keep him out for a long time. We would like to bring in a central defender on loan but we would rather not buy as the injured players will return sooner or later," sporting director Heribert Bruchhagen told Kicker.
One possible name that has been mentioned is 24-year old defender Nikola Petkovic, who is on loan from Eintracht at Russian side Tom Tomsk and his ability to also fill-in at left-back appeals to coach Michael Skibbe.
Russ is not the only injured defender at the club with Maik Franz and Chris suffering with abdominal and spine problems respectively. In the short term, Skibbe may well turn to Ricardo Clark for Saturday's trip to FC Koeln.

Kolo Toure Could Return For Man City Against West Ham

Manchester City could have Kolo Toure back for their game against West Ham United.
Scans revealed that the defender's calf sustained no serious damage after he limped out of the 1-0 win against Bolton Wanderers last weekend.
"I felt tightness in my calf so as a precaution I came off, but it’s not looking as bad as we first thought and I’m hoping I will be available for selection for West Ham on Saturday," Toure told the club's official website.
“Obviously if there is even the slightest doubt, I will maybe rest it for a few more days, but as things stand, it’s not looking too bad.”
The Ivory Coast international has been in good form this season ,alongside centre-back partner Vincent Kompany. And he expects West Ham, and future games, to be tough as the club look to win the Premier League.
"It’s going to be a tough game, but Upton Park is a ground I’ve always enjoyed playing at," he said.
“It should be a good game and we will be looking to extend our unbeaten run to eight games.
"The consistency is coming, but we still need to take each game as it comes and not think that because we are playing the team at the bottom of the table that things will be easier.
"In fact, I think the wins will be harder to come by because we are riding high near the top and the teams we play will be more cautious and treat us a bigger scalp
"We need to keep doing what we’ve been doing in the last month and be more focused than ever."

Alejandro Sabella Proud Of Estudiantes Players After River Plate Demolition

Estudiantes coach Alex Sabella revealed that he was proud of his players, after the Pincha destroyed River Plate 4-0 in the Monumental to leave themselves on the brink of the Apertura title.
Goals from Leandro Desabato, Marcos Rojo, Matias Sanchez and Gabriel Mercado sealed an incredible victory for Estudiantes away from home, and was the first time the La Plata club had won by such an imposing margin in the Monumental against the Nunez giants. Estudiantes now need only to match rivals Velez Sarsfield's result on Sunday to win the Apertura, and Sabella struggled for words to describe the quality of the performance.
"The only thing you can do with these players, as I have always said, is stand up and applaud. For all they have been doing for themselves and for the club. Now everyone is talking about Estudiantes and that is the best recognition possible," Sabella stated in Wednesday night's post-match press conference.
"We kept our concentration and order throughout the game. The team played a fantastic match and when we had the chances we made sure we took them".
Estudiantes enjoy a two-point lead over Velez going into Sunday's title decider. The Pincha host third placed Arsenal de Sarandi, while Velez must travel to Avellaneda to take on fourth placed Racing Club

Chelsea Defender Jose Bosingwa Ruled Out Of Tottenham Clash

The Portugal international limped out of the club's 1-0 defeat to Marseille in the Champions League on Wednesday night with a hamstring injury.
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti confirmed: "Bosingwa has a hamstring problem, so he's not available for the next game."
Boswinga's place is likely to be taken by fellow Portugal player Paulo Ferreira, who replaced him in last week's 1-1 draw against Everton at Stamford Bridge.
But England midfielder Frank Lampard will be given until the last minute to prove his fitness ahead of the weekend game.

Dani Alves: I Would Never Leave Barcelona For Real Madrid

Barcelona contract rebel Dani Alves has stated that if he were ever to leave the Catalan giants, Real Madrid would not be an option he would consider.
The Brazilian full-back’s contract expires in the summer of 2012, but despite protracted negotiations over an extension, he has yet to reach an agreement, claiming that the club have undervalued him.
Manchester City are on alert should he decide his future lies away from Camp Nou, but in an interview with TV station Cuatro, he maintained that Madrid would not be a possibility, although he added that he would one day like to work alongside Los Blancos coach Jose Mourinho.
He commented: “I would not play in Madrid. If I leave Barca, I would not go there. My Madrid train has passed.
“Jose Mourinho is a great coach, I would really like to work with him, and I once came close. He knows what weapons to use against teams, and he has won everything.”

Defender Carlos Marchena: Villarreal's Squad Is Hugely Competitive

Villarreal defender Carlos Marchena has professed that the team are enjoying a superb start to the season because the competition for first team places is proving excellent motivation.
The former Valencia and Benfica stopper arrived at El Madrigal in the close season, and has been a pivotal figure as the Yellow Submarines have surged to third spot in the table.
In a press conference this afternoon, the World Cup winner spoke of the squad, and how he feels the club have performed so far this season.
He remarked: “In this squad there are at least 15 starters, and this is being demonstrated regularly. It is good to have such competitiveness. We must however so step by step, because there are still many points to play for, and nothing is definitive at this point of the season.
“We have a lot of humility, respect and ambition to keep going on our current form, that allows us to be third in the standings.”
Marchena also spoke of competing with Barcelona and Real Madrid, adding: “We always look upwards, but obviously Barca and Real Madrid are very strong and it is very difficult to compete with them.”
Finally, he mentioned the possibility of teammate Joan Capdevila sealing a new contract with the team, concluding: “Joan is a key part of the squad in recent years, and it would be great news if he were to renew."
