Makelele will make Chelsea tick

AFP, London
Chelsea coach Claudio Ranieri likened his latest signing Claude Makelele on Friday to the battery in an expensive watch mechanism he has assembled courtesy of Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich's oil fortune.
"I have a fantastic watch and Claude is my battery," Ranieri said of the France midfielder signed last week for some 16.8 million pounds (26 million dollars) from Real Madrid.
Makelele, 30, had his first training session on Friday with his new teammates and then underwent the obligatory introductory photo session alongside fellow new boy goalkeeper Neil Sullivan at the London side's Stamford Bridge stadium.
"Claude is one of the best playmakers in the world. He was one of the first players on my list in the summer," Ranieri said.
New Chelsea owner Abramovich's billions enabled the Italian to spend freely in the transfer season. Makelele joins Argentines Hernan Crespo and Juan Sebastian Veron, Romanian striker Adrian Mutu, Cameroon's Geremi, Ireland's Damien Duff as well as England players Joe Cole and Wayne Bridge as part of the 175 million dollars spree.
"There's lots of quality, lots of international players here," Makelele said.
"The manager is trying to build a team to create links between all these new players -- with that I think we have a chance of winning the premier league and the Champions League," he added.
Makelele had made no secret of his discontent at Real Madrid where he felt he was not paid enough, but he said: "I'd not have left Madrid to go just anywhere," he said.
"Chelsea has a big future and that's why I wanted to come here."
"Before deciding I talked to my French team mates (captain) Marcel Desailly, (Emmanuel) Petit and (William) Gallas and they spoke very highly of the club so I came," he added.
Scotland international Sullivan, 33, had also been unhappy at his
last club Tottenham Hotspur after falling out with coach Glenn Hoddle but said he was not complaining at coming to Chelsea as number two goalkeeper to Carlo Cudicini.
"I needed a fresh start and there was no better club to come to," he said.
Chelsea's ambitions to become one of the world's top clubs were highlighted this week when they poached Manchester United chief executive Peter Kenyon.
But a relaxed-looking Ranieri shrugged off newspaper speculation that he would be the next to go in favour of United boss Alex Ferguson or England manager Sven Goran Eriksson, who had a clandestine meeting with Abramovich shortly after he bought the club."I'll build the team up for them and then they can come and take it over," Ranieri joked.
Asked which of his team of big names and big egos he planned to leave on the bench for the side's league game at home to Spurs on Saturday he quipped: "You'd better ask Ferguson.”
