'Chelsea Deserve Win'


London - Chelsea needed a goal in the last minute to be able to win over Shakhtar Donetsk. Even so, the Blues rated it worth getting the three points from the game.

Chelsea did have to work extra hard at home to Shakhtar at Stamford Bridge on Thursday (11/08/2012) pm dawn. They face a very troublesome opponent.

Had the lead twice through Fernando Torres and Oscar, Chelsea could not prevent his opponent twice to score through the leg Willian. The match was going to end like 2-2.

However, after continued to press in the second half, Chelsea get what they are looking for in the injury time. Heading Victor Moses to make sure they win 3-2 and claim all three points.

Answering Giroud efforts to maintain Obsession Expectations

Olivier Giroud just add to the coffers of his goal, which is not many, at Arsenal.

When brought, supposedly for around 12 million euros, it is categorized as a top scorer in Ligue 1 the previous season with a total of 21 goals.

Based on that, no doubt Giroud expected to soon show sharpness in attack that left Arsenal's Robin van Persie by crossing to Manchester United.

However, the expectation is difficult to answer Giroud earlier this season after he finished the game more without being able to break through the opponent's goal.

It was only on 26 September in the League Cup, the 26-year-old striker contributed one goal in Arsenal's 6-1 win over Coventry.

Since his first goal for the 'Gunner', Giroud slowly added a goal after goal. In the last three games dilakoninya for Arsenal, he has scored one goal each in the two games in between.Giroud's latest goal he made when timnnya play contra Schalke 2-2 in Champions League Matchday 4 on Wednesday (11/07/2012) pm dawn. In total, he has now packed four goals for Arsenal."Make a goal is an obsession for me and maybe for all of the attackers," said Giroud to Arsenal Player Sportsmole quoted.

"I must admit that I get into trouble at the beginning of the season but the manager and the coach continues to trust me and always told me, 'Do not worry, the goals will come soon. Forward practice, you have a quality'."

"I continue to maintain the confidence and work hard. I make a lot of goals at the beginning of my career and you would feel more comfortable when I can make a goal," he said.

Remains to be seen whether Giroud could continue to maintain an obsession, to get consistency, as well as complete answer was adopting current expectations. Arsenal's next game, counter Fulham in the Premier League at the weekend, becoming the next moment for Giroud to back trying to show off to give evidence.
