Monaco Preview: Part Two

Former Chelsea player Deschamps said: "We have not done anything special.

"It's important to have the same mentality we have had all season. They have done a good job this year. I want them to do well this year because they are young and don't have much experience.

"I don't think we will lose the game. I want to be positive and to prepare my players well. There are 120 minutes before penalties become important.

"There are many other things we need to work on. And taking a penalty on the training ground is not the same as doing it when it matters."

"The first 15 minutes will be crucial to us. We have to concentrate for the first 20 minutes of the match. They have players who are very comfortable with the ball and they will battle very hard," he added.

"Every Chelsea player will think it is still possible to qualify - that's normal. Myself and my players we thought the same when we lost 4-2 to Real Madrid in Spain."

Next, we hear from the man of the moment.... Claudio Ranieri!
