Drogba eyes Euro progress
Didier Drogba is confident Chelsea can book a safe passage into the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
The Blues will be favourites to make the last eight heading into the second leg of their clash with Juventus.
A narrow 1-0 lead established during the first meeting at Stamford Bridge will see Guus Hiddink's men head to Italy in confident mood.
Drogba believes Chelsea are capable of grinding out a positive result on Tuesday, although the Ivorian striker expects Juve to provide stiff opposition on home soil.
"We need to score in Juventus or draw, but it is not going to be easy," he said.
"But I think we have the team to do it. The good thing is we didn't concede at home. In their stadium the game is going to be open so we will
have chances to create some goals.
"They have to score, so it will be an open game. Juventus are very special.
"They are a team that really play. I think the Italian league has changed anyway. They still have this reputation for having a strong defence but they attack a lot more now.
"Italian teams are not afraid to attack - look at the players they have. They are fantastic.
"Maybe we could have scored one or two more goals but the Champions League is a very difficult competition, so we have to be happy with the goal we scored at home."
Drogba admits Chelsea were slightly fortunate to escape their first leg encounter unscathed, but remains optimistic as the tie prepares to head for Turin.
"We felt we should have scored another goal," said Drogba.
"We should have defended better in the second half and played more as a unit, a block.
"We know what we have to do to go through to the next round - we have to beat the team in front of us.
"That perhaps takes a bit more concentration than in the league because you can afford to make up for a mistake in the next game. In the Champions League, you don't get that."
