Malouda: Blues want to do even better
Florent Malouda insists Chelsea's 6-0 thrashing of West Brom shows they are determined to improve on last year's dominant domestic displays.[LNB] The 2009/10 double winners endured a tough pre-season but kicked off the defence of their Premier League campaign by hammering the newly-promoted Baggies with a Didier Drogba hat-trick, a brace from Malouda and one from Frank Lampard.[LNB]The French midfielder told ESPN: "We are champions and we have to improve what we did last season.[LNB]"We had a great record and scored a lot of goals but it's a new season and we have to work harder and be even better than last year.[LNB]"It was not easy at the beginning because we had a difficult pre-season, to score early in the game was most difficult thing to do and after that we had to carry on to score more goals."[LNB]Drogba, who claims he is feeling fitter than ever after a hernia operation in the summer, said:[LNB]"I'm really happy with the way we played, we had a difficult pre-season. We all came back at different times but we are winning and it is a good start."[LNB]Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti said: "I am very happy because we played a good game, we showed good football. We were not happy about the four defeats in pre-season, but we started well and that is the most important thing."[LNB]Albion boss Roberto Di Matteo told ESPN: "The second goal was a bad time, if we can go in at 1-0 there is still a chance for us, so we have to learn quickly.[LNB]"We know there is quality, so we will keep working on it and we will improve. We will pick the players up, this is a tough place to come."
