Chelsea striker Hernan Crespo is confident his team-mates will not fall into the trap which snared Lazio after they won the Italian league championship.

The Argentina international spent last season on loan at AC Milan, missing out on the title-winning celebrations.

But he is determined to get his hands on a league medal after missing out so many times in his career.

The 30-year-old told Chelsea TV: "I was second at Parma, at Lazio, at Inter Milan and at Chelsea - it's incredible."

However, Crespo has been convinced he could be about to break his duck by the attitude of the Chelsea players in pre season training.

He added: "The problem when you win the league, the year after everybody relaxes. At this point you need a great mentality, great character."
