Daniel Sturridge insists that Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas isn't interested in 'individual stars'.

Striker Daniel Sturridge has said that Andre Villas-Boas is focused on building a successful team at Chelsea and isn't interested in 'individual stars'.

Sturridge, who struggled to break into the first team under previous manager Carlo Ancelotti, has attributed his recent run of form to the new boss after spending the second half of last season on loan at Bolton.

"The new manager, Andre Villas-Boas, has changed everything since he came in," he told The Sun. "It doesn't matter if you're 17 or 25, he treats every player the same.

"It's no longer about individuals, the big players, the young players, the foreign players or whatever. If all the focus is on the stars, the team won't succeed. Now it's all about the Chelsea family going in the way the manager wants.

"I don't know if Ancelotti rated me or not because he didn't give me the opportunity to play."

The 22-year-old has scored four goals in four league appearances for Chelsea this season.
