Didier Drogba<\/a> has warned the more experienced members of Chelsea’s<\/a> squad that they will be the ones who have to adapt to Andre Villas-Boas’<\/a> style of play.
<\/span><\/p>\n

The striker scored twice against Valencia in midweek to secure the west Londoners’ place in the last 16 of the Champions League and is hoping for a positive run of form.<\/p>\n

He told the London Evening Standard<\/em>: “He [Villas-Boas] is trying to build something strong, like the other managers did before. He bought some new players and we have to adapt.<\/p>\n

“I will say the old players, the ones who have been here for a while, we have to adapt together, learn how to play together and win together.<\/p>\n

“There are still a few things we need to improve on.<\/p>\n

“To win the Champions League you have to be a really strong team and be lucky as well. But we have to create and make our own luck.<\/p>\n

“If we keep going like the way we did against Valencia, then why not? It is good to be part of this new campaign.<\/p>\n

“The match against Valencia was only my second in the competition this year so it’s good to be part of it. I love this competition.”<\/p>\n

Drogba has had to fight off Fernando Torres for a starting role up front this season and the Ivorian’s recent goal run may see him figure from the off against league leaders Manchester City on Monday night.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
