Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari hinted at a dressing down for Didier Drogba over reports of talks with Inter Milan this week.

At yesterday's media conference, the Brazilian was flanked by Nicolas Anelka, who was midway through the dead-batting of a question about whether he felt he could forge a partnership with Drogba when Scolari stepped in to flex his muscles.

"It's not the problem for Anelka," he snapped. "It's my job [to pick] A, B or C. I need to like. It's not the player, I need to like."
