da doce: Chelsea forward Didier Drogba has stated that the Blues may well have rode their luck in beating Barcelona on Wednesday night, but is eager to score in the second leg at Camp Nou.
The west London side surprised the European champions in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final, with the Ivory Coast international scoring the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win.
With the return fixture next week, a Premier League fixture against Arsenal and the FA Cup final against Liverpool still to play, the African striker has admitted that the club are seeking success this term.
“We have to go there now and try to score another one,” he told Sky Sports.
“That’s football and I think we were a bit lucky.
“You have to work for luck to come and to happen. We worked a lot. We worked hard.
“It’s a difficult week, difficult 10 days for us after Spurs, this game, and then Arsenal, and then again Barcelona.
“It’s going to be an important, very decisive week for us, and I think we’re up for it,” Drogba concluded.
Meanwhile, The Daily Mail indicate that Drogba is close to agreeing a £6.7 million-a-year deal to join Shanghai Shenhua.
The ambitious Chinese side already have Nicolas Anelka in their ranks, and are eyeing his former team-mate, who is out of contract in the summer.
