Cech eyes Blues quadruple
Chelsea keen to get their hands on plenty of silverware
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."
