Despite an indifferent start to his career at Stamford Bridge,
Anelka has now scored 12 goals so far this season – eight of those
in his last four games – and he looks to have found the form that
once made him one of Europe’s most deadly strikers.
The performances have not gone unnoticed by Scolari, and the
Brazilian tactician believes Anelka has regained his confidence and
is capable of continuing his goal-scoring exploits as The Blues go
in search of Premier League and Champions League glory.
"Anelka is happy because he has more confidence. The players, the
fans believe more in Anelka than before. They give him more chance
to score goals,” said Scolari.
"Anelka is a very good player, has good skill, good delivery, good
shots. In all the games now he is scoring one or two goals. It is
fantastic for us.”
