KALOU HAS DISAPPOINTED WITH SEASON
Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou revealed he felt the reason for the Blues highly disappointing and unsuccessful season was then manager Carlo Ancelotti’s selection process.
According to the 25-year-old Chelsea forward, most of the players were concerned with who would earn a place in the starting line-up for an upcoming match to actually focus on the match.
It was this distraction that had caused the Blues to suffer the mid-season slump which had cost them the season, ending with just a UEFA Champions League qualification.
KALOU CAN PLAY ANYWHERE
Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou has said that the playing position does not matter to him at all and he is just looking to play as long as possible.
The Ivory Coast international has been used somewhat as a utility man along the Chelsea front-line during his Stamford Bridge career, but is simply happy for any game time given the wealth of striking options at the club.
The 25-year-old is competing for a spot in arguably the most powerful strike-force in the country, with Didier Drogba, Fernando Torres, Florent Malouda and Nicolas Anelka making up a formidable list of attackers.
KALOU HAS HIS PLACE
Salomon Kalou has said that the arrival of £50m striker Fernando Torres will not stop his chances at Chelsea.
The Ivorian tells me Torres makes the side stronger, gives them a better chance of winning trophies and can be someone he can learn from to develop his own game.
The pragmatic view could be interpreted as naïve - after all the Spaniard's move to West London has seen Salomon Kalou slip further down the pecking order.
KALOU SCORES
Chelsea's Salomon Kalou took his total tally in the season to nine goals with a fantastic goal against Sunderland. The difficult start Chelsea created by allowing Phil Bardsley's goal has been forgotten, with Salomon Kalou's right-footed shot in the 23rd minutes making it 2-1, Blues. The goal, scored from just outside the penalty area, could have possibly been prevented were it not for a misread from Sunderland `keeper Craig Gordon.
KALOU CONFIDENT
Salomon Kalou has said that Chelsea will not be worried about playing catch-up in the Barclays Premier league. Many critics, including Chelsea fans, would argue that this season has hit an all-time low during the Roman Abramovich era as the club recently went on a run of just 10 points out of 11 games, their worst League form for 15 years.
It means they are under great pressure to win at Bolton tonight to have any chance of catching Manchester United at the top of the table before it's too late. The task will be harder with Frank Lampard missing because of a calf injury.
KALOU SCORES
Salomon Kalou scored in Chelsea's victory over Ipswich town and also assisted a few goals as well. Salomon Kalou made a right foot kick into the left side of the net with the approximation of six yards to surprise Fulop and score for Chelsea.
Daniel Sturridge scored the second goal with another right foot kick (six yards) into the left lower corner of the goal post while Fulop was recovering from Kalou's first goal.
The two goals for Chelsea happened in 33 minutes and surprised the spectators as well as those who were participating in the match.
KALOU STILL IN THE RUNNING
Salomon Kalou is still in the running to become the African player of the year and he is one among the Chelsea's representatives. The original list of 10 nominations announced last month has been cut to five and Drogba and Kalou are in competition with Inter's Cameroon international Samuel Eto'o, Sunderland's Asamoah Gyan and Barcelona's Seydou Keita.
KALOU SHORTLISTED FOR AWARD
Salomon Kalou is one of the many African players to be shortlisted for the African player of the year award. A trio of Premier League strikers have been shortlisted for the 2010 African Player of the Year Award with the 2009 winner Didier Drogba joined by Chelsea and Ivory Coast team-mate Salomon Kalou and Sunderland and Ghana forward Asamoah Gyan.
KALOU: I NEED TO SCORE
Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou is hoping that Carlo Ancelotti will have taken note of his goal against Cardiff City in the FA Cup at the weekend and will soon name him in his first choice line-up once again.
"You can build a lot of confidence for the next game from it" he told Paris Foot.
KALOU PRAISES MCEACHRAN
Salomon Kalou has tipped Josh McEachran to become a Chelsea great in the future. McEachran, aged just 17, arrived on the world stage last night by bossing Chelsea's midfield in the Champions League against MSK Zilina. Playing largely in holding midfield, a position not entirely familiar to him, he completed more passes than anyone on the pitch in a performance that some even compared to the great Claude Makelele.
Salomon Kalou said of the youngster: “He is very good. He played a different position (against Zilina), and he showed he still had the skill and experience.
