[size=18pt]MOURINHO: WE MUST WIN [/size] José Mourinho has been looking ahead to tomorrow night's Champions League opener against Rosenborg, and insists it is a must win game, despite the absence of what Mourinho calls[i] 'the spine of the team'.[/i] The manager will be without six players, including Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, two important sources of goals. They join Claudio Pizarro (calf), Ricardo Carvalho (upper leg), Michael Ballack (ankle) and Wayne Bridge (hip) on the sidelines. As ever, Mourinho came up with an interesting analogy for the players he has missing. 'Omelette, eggs. No eggs, no omelettes. It depends on the quality of the eggs. In the supermarket you have eggs, class one, class two, class three,' he said. 'Some are more expensive than others, and some give you better omelettes. When the class one eggs are in Waitrose and you cannot go there, you have a problem. ![]() 'For me the problem is not to have three or four players injured, for me the problem is which three or four are injured and that's a problem,' Mourinho explained. 'When you have Drogba, Lampard, Ballack and Carvalho you are speaking about 40 per cent of the team. You are speaking about the spine of the team. 'After that you go for Pizarro and he is the second target man on the team, so should be the direct replacement for Didier, and you go to Wayne Bridge. Ashley Cole is the only left back playing every minute. 'When you speak about Drogba and Lampard, maybe you are speaking about more than 50 per cent of the goals the team scores, so they are important injuries for us, but that's the reality. I don't want to cry on it, I want to work with the players I have available.' Tomorrow's opponents have come through two rounds of qualifying, seeing off FC Astana and Tampere United to reach the group stage, and Mourinho insists Chelsea must gain three points, and shouldn't be distracted by forthcoming fixtures. 'We must win tomorrow, after tomorrow I will say we must win at the weekend and after the weekend I will say we must win against Hull (and trash okocha ) for the Carling Cup and that's the way I approach my season, game after game, competition after competition. Now the motivation is completely on the Champions League,' he said.'If the team doesn't want to be under pressure and wants to go quietly to the next phase it's important to win. It's not important how we play, it's important we play thinking about winning the game. Of course we respect the opponent but we think we are a better team, and we want to win the game. Despite not having travelled to Trondheim to take in the opposition, Mourinho is no stranger to Rosenborg and their style of play. He revealed of our opposition: 'I saw five or six videos, I couldn't go there to see them, I had no chance. The draw was made in a moment where I had no chances to go and see them live. 'I sent my assistant to see them, so now I can say I know the players. I know the way they play, their playing philosophy, so I can say I know the team. It's a team well organised, they know what they are doing on the pitch. I don't know if they change their system to play against Chelsea, maybe they do, maybe they don't. The team I saw was a team well organised in defence with three good attacking players. The African players they have in attack have speed, quality and creativity and I'm waiting for a team trying to be compact and solid and defending well, trying to punish us in counter attacks. 'That's the normal situation in a game with two teams where clearly one team is a team with the responsibility, Chelsea, and the other team is very happy to be in Champions League and is going to try to get the best possible result without any kind of pressure.' 2007/8 is the first season for which we have been seeded in the Champions League, but Mourinho is adamant this prestige makes little difference to how Group B turned out. 'No difference at all. We've got Valencia, and they were one of the best eight teams last season. So when you are a first seed and get a team like Valencia, one of the best teams in Spain and Europe, it means not much. 'At third seed you get a German team fighting for the Bundesliga until the last game of last season, I don't think it means a lot. I don't think the draw was great for Chelsea. 'The group is basically the same as last season, we had Barcelona, we have Valencia. We had Werder Bremen, we have Schalke. We had Levski Sofia, Rosenborg is better than Levski so I think the group is not a better group than last season.' Finally, Mourinho dismissed the idea of not qualifying for the knockout phase, and while he conceded that 'in football, anything is possible', he declared the belief he has in his team. 'I believe in my team, that we have a team to go through. First objective is to finish second. [size=28pt]Chelsea has the conditions, the quality, and responsibility of qualifying for the last 16,[/size]' he said.

I know the way they play, their playing philosophy, so I can say I know the team. It's a team well organised, they know what they are doing on the pitch.
