INTERNAZIONALE MILANO - CHELSEA FC (OFFICIAL POST)

This is one of the most exciting games of the Round of 16. Mourinho will come back to the field that has seen him during so many matches.

Ashley Cole won't be able to play because of the fracture of his knee.

Mourinho said in an interview to uefa.com that there won't be any surprises in this match because he knows the Chelsea's game.

I'll put here part of the Mourinho's interview:

"The last time I was there I was watching all the details with attention," he told UEFA.com. "Even the warm-up is the warm-up they did in our time. The way they defend set pieces is exactly the same. The position they have on set pieces is exactly the same. Sometimes they play a 4-4-2 diamond, sometimes they play 4-3-3, which are exactly the systems we worked when there."


Avram Grant, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Guus Hiddink and now Carlo Ancelotti have all followed in Mourinho's footsteps at Stamford Bridge. The Portuguese coach means no disrespect when he says he sees similarities with the side he led to two Premier League titles and two UEFA Champions League semi-finals during his three years at the club.

"I think it's a quality of a good coach ? and Ancelotti is a good coach ? to understand how the players feel most comfortable. And instead of making crazy changes, just fine tune, which is normal to keep a winning structure. I think Ancelotti's a very good coach and the team feels comfortable this way. And the team really is top ? one of the best teams in the world."

Chelsea may hold no secrets for Mourinho, but he admits that such familiarity with the opposition could be a double-edged sword. "When I look at that team only Ivanovi? and Anelka are not players from my time. All the other boys: Petr ?ech, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole, Essien, Mikel, Drogba, Malouda, Joe Cole, Kalou; all of them are boys from my time.

"So it's a team without secrets for me. But at the same time I think I'm a coach without secrets for them. It will be easy for me, but I think also easy for them. I know them, but they know me. I know the way they play, the way they think, but at the same time they know the way I coach, the way I prepare my teams."

Mourinho is worried about if how we'll feel if Chelsea wins his team.

"If a Chelsea player is happier to beat me than to beat another manager I will be very sad. I just don't understand that. I can't think there would be any special pleasure from that.

Well, it's over: Inter won for 2-1 with 2 goals of Cambiasso and Milito and 1 goal of Kalou.

Inter: Julio César: Maicon, Lucio, Samuel y Zanetti; Motta, Cambiasso, Stankovic, Sneijder, Milito y Eto'o.

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Carvalho, Terry y Mikel; Ballack, Malouda, Lampard y Kalou; Drogba y Anelka.
