Petr Cech is confident Chelsea can chase
four pieces of silverware this season.
Under the guidance of new boss Luiz Felipe Scolari the Blues
insist they will not be prioritising and will challenge for every
possible trophy.
The Brazilian coach fielded a strong team in Wednesday's Carling
Cup success at Portsmouth, a tactic not usually employed by the
Premier League's 'big four'.
It remains to be seen whether the players will be able to cope
with the physical demands of competing on four fronts - the Premier
League, Carling Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League - but Cech
sees no reason why they should not set lofty aspirations.
"If you look at the players we have in our squad,
whatever line-up we put on the pitch will be strong," said the
Czech keeper.
"We are trying to win every competition, so it is not a surprise
that the manager decides to put out a strong team in all games.
"We will see what happens in the later stages of the cups but at
the moment I am playing all the games. I feel physically very good
and I am not suffering from any fatigue.
"This group of players looks really impressive. We have a lot of
quality here.
"In this game, even a player like Wayne Bridge who hadn't played
for quite a while was able to play very well."
Scolari is keen for his side to adopt his South
American mentality, with more focus placed on ball retention and
player movement.
Cech feels the players have taken the advice on board and have
already demonstrated an impressive ability to dominate proceedings
by keeping things easy.
"You can see a little bit this season that we try to play a
little more with the ball," he added.
"We have the players to play this style and I think, as a
manager, you want to adapt to what you have in your squad.
"We have a good squad to pass the ball but we haven't only
played that sort of game.
"Against Wigan we fought really hard to get three points with
players a lot of people would say are only players to play nice
football.
"We showed that we are strong enough even in battles and this is
important."
