Malouda: We want to better last year-Fifa.com
Florent Malouda says Chelsea's rampant display against West Bromwich Albion today shows how determined they are to step things up a gear, despite enjoying huge domestic success last season.
The 2009-10 double winners endured a tough pre-season but kicked off the defence of their Premier League campaign by hammering the newly-promoted Baggies 6-0 courtesy of a Didier Drogba hat-trick, a brace from Malouda and one from Frank Lampard.
The French midfielder said: "We are champions and we have to improve what we did last season. We had a great record and scored a lot of goals but it's a new season and we have to work harder and be even better than last year.
"It was not easy at the beginning because we had a difficult pre-season, to score early in the game was most difficult thing to do and after that we had to carry on to score more goals."
Drogba, who claims he is feeling fitter than ever after a hernia operation in the summer, said: "I'm really happy with the way we played, we had a difficult pre-season. We all came back at different times but we are winning and it is a good start."
"I am very happy because we played a good game, we showed good football," added Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti. "We were not happy about the four defeats in pre-season, but we started well and that is the most important thing."
