Gudjohnsen: "A dream to play in Anderlecht"

Tonight's match in Anderlecht will look like a dream for Eidur Gudjohnsen. His father Arnor played in Anderlecht for 7 seasons and was the best scorer in 1987.


"Many things come back when I am in Anderlecht", says Gudjohnsen. "When I was a little child, my dream was to play here in Anderlecht. I hope we will win tonight, so that the journey to Anderlecht remains a nice memory".

"Anderlecht is a good team and they have a rich history, but the Belgian football has changed a lot since then", he explains.

In Anderlecht's side, Vincent Kompany seems very motivated for this game. "Of course I am. I have not played at home for a long time because of my injury. It will be a special feeling and I hope to contribute to a positive result".

It is however not known if the young defender will be able to play during 90 minutes. "Mentally, there is absolutely no problem at all", he answered.

Coach Franky Vercauteren is also very optimistic: "Chelsea is under pressure and we have nothing to lose", he explained.
