Winning All That Counts

Eidur thinks that the Champions League is definitely up for grabs for the Blues this year and, in Jose Mourinho, we have the right man to lead us there.

Eidur said of Jose: "His experience and that of the players who have also won the competition is helping to spread the winning mentality into the team. Experience like that is invaluable.

"We all had a taste of success in the Champions League last season. We came close, but not close enough.

"When we look back, that's something we regret as a team and we certainly have the appetite to go one step further this season.

"We're a big team and we're here to win trophies - that's what you're remembered for, as a team and as individuals."

Would Maradona and Pele have been as great without the trophies they won?
