The Chelsea Daily Drivel

""It's been 13 years since I left Brazil for playing in Europe. Now I want to go back home and play in my country because I have never been able to win a title there. I want to return to Brazil most of all because of personal reasons but I am still in contract at Chelsea and I have to resolve that. Without I doubt I know that I owe it to my career to win a title in Brazil.

I want to have the chance to win a Brazilian domestic league title and a Copa Libertadores as I imagine that it must be a very strong sensation. I expect to have my situation resolved before July 26 for being able to travel to Brazil as soon as possible.""

""Ashley Cole is not for sale, That's the bottom line on that. There's no doubt that he's going to be a Chelsea player this season. Ashley is a superb player. He is a delight to deal with around the football club, he gets on very well with everyone, he trains very well and he is really a model athlete.

Obviously, he is not happy with how his private life has become the focus of everything around him and I think we'd like to work with him so that he has a bit of a lower profile. We don't think the problem will change if he went to somewhere else outside of the UK, so I think we want to work with him here to make his personal life more enjoyable.

We say to all our players that might have personal issues that we want to help them as much as we can and even Carlo has said that on several occasions. There is a limit to what we can do but obviously we want to support our players and we want them to be happy not only on the pitch but also in their private lives. If you are not happy in your private life, it's hard to focus on your professional life."

""The club position is pretty straightforward, Didier had the golden boot, Didier had a great season, Didier is an important part of our plans for this season and the future and he is not for sale.""

"We're very happy with the squad we have now, so if there are any more additions, it will be fine-tuning. Whether or not they'll work out, who knows? We'll just see how it goes over the next six weeks.""
