The Chelsea Daily Drivel - Ancelotti, Zhirkov and Laudrup!

""My desire is to be here for 25 years. I don’t know if it’s possible, but I hope to stay for a long time. I would like to manage a national team, It could be England, it could be Italy. But, of course, I would like to be coach of the Italian team because I am Italian."

""When I came to Chelsea our aim was to be involved in all the competitions. The Champions League is not more important than the Premier League – they are at the same level and we maintain that. They are two very important competitions but it’s natural after wining the Premier League last season to think more about the Champions League.

The final this season is in London at Wembley and that's a good motivation. All the London teams will want to win the Champions League for this reason.""

""I’ll certainly get a chance in the next few months and I’ll try to use it completely. Then, in the winter, everything will probably depend on whether I got this chance and how I used it.

We are currently in brilliant form and getting past Malouda and Cole is problematic. Everyone understands about the competition: once you are on the bench you can be there for a long time. But I will definitely get a chance.

The thoughts when you are watching your team play are always the same: you support, worry and your soul wants to be on the pitch to help.""

""I am obviously shocked by the diagnosis, but also know that there is now a tough battle ahead of me - a battle I will win. Fortunately, I have had very optimistic reports from doctors to support me.

I now want to use my energy to get over the shock and take time with my family and those closest to me, so together we can move forward after this diagnosis.""
