Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka admits that he is unhappy at being played out of position by manager Luis Felipe Scolari.
The Frenchman has previously voiced his desire to forge a strike partnership with Didier Drogba, but Scolari has preferred to field a lone forward.
And Anelka, who scored a hat-trick against Sunderland at the weekend as Drogba started on the bench following injury, admits that his boss' tactics can frustrate after describing their relationship as 'polite'.
The 29-year-old has been forced into a wide berth when Drogba has been fit, while the former Arsenal, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester City player has been asked to play a lone attacking role in his team-mate's absence.
Anelka said in the Daily Express: "My relations with Scolari? I would say they are 'polite'.
"He asks me to wait for my chance, then to play, then to score. I obey him even though I would prefer to play 4-4-2 than 4-3-3.
"I would like to play with Didier Drogba, but the coach prefers one player up front. I would prefer to play as a No.9 and a half."
