Chelsea boss: Malouda essential for Anelka/Drogba partnership

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 01/06/2009 - 18:30

Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari believes he cannot partner Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba while left-sided player Florent Malouda is injured.

Scolari feels that to play 4-4-2 he needs a genuine left winger but with Malouda injured his options are limited.

"I will play 4-4-2 when I have a winger who can play on the left and with his left foot," Scolari told the Evening Standard.

"When you don't have players with these characteristics it is difficult to adapt one player to play in 4-4-2.

"Florent Malouda is the only player who can play with his left foot and he is injured. Everyone else is right footed."
