Chelsea's Kalou aims for happy ending ahead of season finals
Chelsea's Ivorian forward, Salomon Kalou, aims to help his side turn their disappointing start-of-season into a happy ending ahead the upcoming FA final against Liverpool

Salomon Kalou said on Wednesday that he is looking for a happy-end-of-season, adding that the Blues target to win their coming two finals.
Chelsea, who struggled at the start of the season under the guidance of Portuguese coach Andreas Villas-Boas, succeeded to make an excellent recovery with interim coach Roberto Di Matteo after he took the charge of the club in March.
The Blues are preparing for two important dates: a match with Liverpool on Saturday in the FA Cup final and a later match on 19 May with German side Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League.
"When you have a chance to end the season like we do, it's easy to stay motivated," he told the club's official website.
"There are only a few games left to play and we know that these games are so important for the history of the club.
"Every player would love to be in this position. We can win the FA Cup, finish in the top four and potentially win the Champions League, which is something every player dreams about, so we are blessed." he added.
The 27-year-old forward has expressed his delight in returning to the team's squad under the guidance of Di Matteo.
Kalou didn't played regularly in Villa-Boas era and it was rumoured that he would leave the club at the end of the season.
"I'm playing regularly and I'm glad," he added. "Since I've come back from the African Cup of Nations, under Robbie [Di Matteo], I'm playing at least every other game, so I'm very happy.
"I just hope I can help the team pick up the points we need between now and the end of the season and win some trophies.
"The way we were playing, we didn't start this season in the best way. We dropped a few points and everybody knew it was going to be difficult, but in the last couple of months we've fought hard and come back to our top level," Kalou concluded.
