Ballack up for the cup

Michael Ballack has admitted that he is ready to help Chelsea in their pursuit of the cup competitions. Chelsea take on QPR on Saturday and is eager to help them retain the FA Cup.

"The game against QPR is important for us. We play at home so we are favourites and we want to reach the next round," he said.

"Of course I was disappointed to miss the final last year. But I can't change the things that have happened.

"I got my injury but now I'm looking forward to having a run in the side. I hope we reach the final again and that I can play.

"I was in the stadium for the final last season and it was a good feeling, especially as it was the first game at Wembley.

"It was a big atmosphere in this unbelievable stadium with so much history and I could feel the importance of the competition.

"In England the FA Cup is very, very important and maybe it doesn't compare with cup competitions in other countries, so it was new to me."
