Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina has promised to keep his head against Chelsea when the sides meet in tomorrow's FA Cup semi-final, but insisted that he is hungry for revenge against the Blues.
The Liverpool goalkeeper turned up the heat ahead of tomorrow's clash by claiming that Chelsea have bought their success and accusing Didier Drogba of cheating.
Reina was controversially sent off for a clash with Arjen Robben at Stamford Bridge in February, when Robben threw himself to the ground after a slight push from Reina.
"I have never play-acted to get a rival sent off. I will be coming up against Robben again but I won't do what I did last time. I won't lash out, I will be calmer," Reina said.
"He disappointed me a lot and his behaviour left a lot to be desired. But I learnt from that mistake. The only consolation is that everybody was on my side and got stuck into Robben.
Reina has also accused Chelsea striker Didier Drogba of bending the rules. He added: "He's already confessed he makes the most of every opportunity he gets - legally or otherwise. Rivals like him are not easy. You can't only pay attention to usual things."
The way Jose Mourinho has built his squad, backed by the considerable wealth of club owner Roman Abramovich, gives opponents extra incentive to beat Chelsea according to Reina.
"They are the side to beat because they have been made on the back of a cheque book. Mourinho has created exactly the kind of team he wants without having to consider the expense. The majority of coaches do not have that luxury.
"Having such a big budget must make things more simple. That's why everybody wants to defeat them. As teams we don't get on well and playing Chelsea provides extra motivation. You always want a win just that bit more."
