It seems Ashley Cole hasn’t got over his missed penalty in last week’s FA Cup replay against Everton but the Chelsea defender is hoping the Champions League could make it a lot less painful come May.
I won’t go over our current position because we all know where we stand this season, as does Ashley Cole, who says “After starting the season so well, we then had this dip in form, it wasn’t going for us, and of course it has left us where we are now. It is not a good position for us, we know we have to do better, we want to do better. We are out of the FA Cup, the Carling Cup, we’re never going to give up on the league but the Champions League is probably now the main focus for us to win because obviously not many people here have won that one.
I have been in the final twice and defeated twice and it is not a good feeling. Hopefully this season will be different, it will be one to remember. I am just desperate to win the Champions League and if I can do it in a Chelsea shirt that will be an amazing achievement for me.”
And of his missed penalty, Cole says “It’s one of those things. Every day in training I take penalties and I score. I didn’t mean to go that high obviously. I thought the goalie was going to dive that way so I tried to put it above him. It was not a good moment for me but I just have to keep going now and try and make it up for the team.”
