Jose Mourinho feels a responsibility for Chelsea to perform at their
ruthless best in Wednesday night's Champions League Group G clash at
Maribor in an ominous warning to his hosts.
The Blues beat the Slovenian champions 6-0 two weeks ago and know
victory could seal their place in the last 16 with two games to spare,
depending on the result between Sporting Lisbon and Schalke.
"I
like this concept of going with a big club, full of big players to a
country, a stadium, a city where normally they don't come," Mourinho
said.
"To come here, to play here, I think we have responsibility to play for us and also to play for the people.
"I
know they want to win - they don't want us to win - but to play for the
people is to play well, and to show what we can do, to show the quality
players we have, to show the quality team we have."
Mourinho
insists he would never select a weakened team in anticipation of defeat,
in a slight made towards Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers.
