Valencia star ready to deepen Chelsea woes

Valencia captain Roberto Soldado has warned his red-hot side are in the mood to knock Chelsea out of the Champions League.
The 26-year-old scored a hat-trick as the Spanish side beat Genk 7-0 on Wednesday to take his tally to 12 goals in 15 European matches.
And Soldado is confident they can obtain the victory or scoring draw at Stamford Bridge on December 6 that will send them through - and shunt Andre Villas-Boas’ troubled side into the Europa League.
“If we stay in this form, there’s a good chance we can win at Chelsea," he said. "It was not only one of my best games, it was a complete performance by the team on a win-or-bust night which we all treated like a cup final.
"Our objective was always getting to the last game with an opportunity of qualifying and that’s the way it is going to be.
"We go to Stamford Bridge believing we have to win but our good work means a score draw works, too.
“Right now, I’m on a great run. The goals are going in and that’s important for me.
"The Champions League suited my style last season and I really want to continue scoring goals and give the team important victories.
"I just hope we come through the test in London with flying colours.”
