DE CANIO - MY DREAM

Posted on: Fri 04 Jan 2008

Luigi De Canio has a dream - and it starts against Chelsea on Saturday afternoon.

Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, the R's First Team coach gave us his thoughts ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup third round, sponsored by E.ON.

"The FA Cup is very important to us," he told www.qpr.co.uk.

"The tradition and history of the competition demands that we take it seriously and that is exactly what we will do.

"We have a very good group of players here now and although Chelsea will provide a very tough test, it is a very exciting time to be going to Stamford Bridge.

"Even though they have limited numbers at the moment, they are still a team of champions, while we are a Championship team."

Indeed, Chelsea will be without injured quartet Petr Cech, John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba tomorrow, while Ricardo Carvalho and Michael Essien also miss out owing to suspension.

Yet despite the current crisis at Stamford Bridge, De Canio isn't about to get embroiled in 'unrealistic' comparisons between the two Clubs, commenting: "It makes me proud and happy that people are comparing QPR to Chelsea, but, at the moment, those comparisons are impossible.

"For QPR to be bigger than Chelsea is just a dream for me - but there is no law against having nice dreams."
