Didier Drogba has questioned Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho's tactics after scoring only 10 goals in his first season for the Premiership champions.
And the Ivory Coast striker, who joined the Blues from Marseille for £24m, also claims he did not get the credit he deserved for the role he played.
He told The People: "We'll see whether any other great striker will defend like a maniac as I did last season.
"I sacrificed myself for the whole team while forgetting my scoring figures."
Drogba could find his place in the Blues starting line-up under threat with the return of Hernan Crespo from a season-long loan at AC Milan.
But the forward added: "I'll try thinking more about me next season so that I don't finish 15 goals behind Thierry Henry again."

However, it was Mourinho's approach to many games that surprised Drogba.
He continued: "I did think that I would spend less time running about after the ball.
"I do have reservations about our game, especially in the second half of the season.
"The only way we played was with long balls towards me, but I prefer playing football with people putting the ball at my feet."
Drogba also believes his selfless efforts helped midfielders Frank Lampard and Joe Cole have such good seasons.
"I sacrificed myself in the interests of Chelsea and made Lampard and Cole shine," he claimed.
Despite his dig at Mourinho's tactics, Drogba says he still enjoys a good relationship with him.
"We can talk frankly without any problems and he has total confidence in me," he continued.
"He showed that last season - I was always in the starting line-up and he has always supported me.
"The criticism I've had brought us closer together and he knows what I have brought to the team."
