Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou has set himself a target of 20 goals this season following his second-half strike against Wolves on Saturday.[LNB] The Blues overcame a battling Wolves side 2-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a first-half strike from Florent Malouda and Kalou's effort 10 minutes from time.[LNB]The Ivory Coast striker has now scored six so far this season and he is determined to beat his 14-goal personal best in English football.[LNB]Kalou began and finished the move which took him closer to his target and the Chelsea striker revealed: "I push myself to score 20 goals and that's my target.[LNB]"I've got six already so I have 14 to go. It is a challenge for myself and I have to keep myself fit if I want to do it, but I think it is possible.[LNB]"I look to get 10 before the end of December and another 10 after Christmas, but I'm already ahead of the plan."[LNB]Wolves, noted for their battling qualities and physical style, played some fine passing football and kept possession for long spells against the Blues.[LNB]In the past Chelsea have struggled to overcome the more physical approach from their opponents but Kalou insists all that has changed.[LNB]"We have a lot of speed up front," added Kalou. "We are strong and can run longer and faster. So for the defender it is really hard to keep up for 90 minutes with this kind of attacking set-up.[LNB]"If they want to get physical with us we can respond and when they want to play good football we can also adapt to that.[LNB]"With our midfielders supporting us it is quite difficult for the defence to stop us."
