The midfielder said that when they lost to Tottenham Hotspur FC in the final of the League Cup and Barnsley FC in the FA Cup, it was through their own failings rather than a superiority on the part of the opposition. The difference is that against Fenerbahçe Avram Grant men have a second chance. "It was our fault that we lost the first round," said Ballack, return to the inverse 2-1 in Istanbul last Wednesday. "When we play our best football, we can win every competition, but we have to show it. That is our motivation. "

After drawing 0-0 away to Olympiacos CFP in the first stage of the first knockout round, Chelsea stormed out of the blocks at Stamford Bridge in the back. Ballack scored himself within five minutes before Frank Lampard is 2-0 in the 25th minute en route to a comfortable 3-0 victory. "If we can start the game like that against Olympiacos, it would be great, but it is not possible to start every game like this," the 31-year-old said. "We are going to go out and" attack and press our opponents. We have our strategy and prepare today and tomorrow very well and then we will see what happens. " (*)
