Didier Drogba believes he's in a one-on-one battle with Fernando Torres for a place in Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas' plans. Villas-Boas does not want to get dragged into the 'obsession' over Torres and insists the duo can play together.
But Drogba is not so sure and believes they are challenging for the same place.
He said: "I think me and Fernando are competing for the central role.
"We all know the new manager is a fan of 4-3-3, so nothing is really going to change from last season. For me, it's not a problem to play with Fernando or without him. That's the manager's choice.
"But this is the way it has always been for me at Chelsea. I have been competing with the other strikers in all my years in England.
"When I joined there was Eidur Gudjohnsen, then it was Andriy Shevchenko and now it is Fernando Torres and Nicolas Anelka.
"Even two years ago when people were saying there was no competition, we had Daniel Sturridge and Salomon Kalou who could have played instead of me.
"I still have to perform and you can't be the only striker."
