He is our manager now and we have to go out and fight for him.[LNB]"Whatever manager comes in we respect him, we are not kids, everyone thinks there are egos at Chelsea, but there aren't and we have to make Chelsea the squad of a few years ago and win trophies."[LNB]Cole admits that winning the Champions League is an ambition he is still longing to fulfil.[LNB]He added: "A lot of players' dreams are to win the Champions League final, I have played in two finals, but of course we want to win - but we want to win any trophy."
