Drogba ready to commit to Ancelotti's Chelsea

Didier Drogba has indicated he's ready to sign a new contract tabled by Chelsea. "I am confident we can challenge for major honours and I want to win the Champions League," the Ivory Coast forward told the Guardian. "I know now I have had my share of criticism in the past. My behaviour [against Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final second leg] is bothering me very much because it was not right.

"But with the help of my team mates and the management I will focus on my game and contribute to a great season. Now I feel even more comfortable at Chelsea. I will do my [Uefa] suspension and, after that, I will come back stronger. I'm very proud that I'm in one of the best teams in Europe and I have stayed and hope to keep getting selected."
