Jose Mourinho captured two Premier League title, an FA Cup and two League Cups during his three years at Stamford Bridge but his team were often criticised for a lack of entertainment.

Now Abramovich, who got rid of Mourinho in September and axed his successor Avram Grant at the end of last season, has sent out a clear message that his club must shed the 'boring' tag.

Scolari today claimed Chelsea can win four competitions but admits they must do so playing attacking football if Abramovich is to be appeased.

Chief executive Peter Kenyon said: "It's important that we align with what the owner wants. When we bought Chelsea, he wanted it to be not just a successful football club but for it to be a force for good. We want to be a team that wins things in style.

"If you look at a Madrid, a Milan, a Barcelona, you look at a Manchester United, they've all been successful but they're all teams with an identity and known for their style. That's what we want to achieve."

Evidence of more adventurous tactics have been seen on Chelsea's pre-season tour of Asia. Indeed, Scolari has seen enough to suggest the Blues will scoop an unprecedent quadruple this season. He said: "I try to win four competitions. We have the players for this."

Chelsea's tour continues in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow against a Malaysia XI.
