Branislav Ivanovic was delighted with his goals for Chelsea in Wednesday's Champions League victory at Liverpool.

Ivanovic says his two goals on the night came from a tactic used by Blues boss Guus Hiddink, which involves using skipper John Terry as a decoy at set-pieces.

The Serbia international told the Daily Mail: "It is our Chelsea secret and I don't want to say too much about it because other teams will be able to work on a way to stop it. It is something we work on in training. We all have different jobs and different positions to take up, as instructed by the manager.

"Of course, it doesn't always work, but sometimes teams are caught out."

Ivanovic believed he was about to leave last summer, with AC Milan bidding £13m for him, but Chelsea have been left so scarred by injury setbacks to Terry and Ricardo Carvalho over the past two seasons that they refused to let him move.

Ivanovic said: "I am settled in English football now, and it always helps to be playing. It has taken a long time to establish myself.

"I will play wherever the manager tells me, but I'm better in the centre of defence."

"There has been a definite change under the new manager, and that has helped me feel a lot more comfortable being a Chelsea player," he added.

"The new coach has lots of different ideas. I don't mind where I play, as long as I can make a contribution.' It was a telling one on Wednesday. He is just not prepared to tell anyone quite how he does it."
