He insisted the club have given him everything he needs to succeed where predecessors Jose Mourinho and Avram Grant failed, and told his players he can guide them to quadruple glory if they can find the necessary self-belief.

Yes, I said four: Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari proves he doesn't fear the shadow of Jose Mourinho's success by insisting that the Blues can pull off a clean sweep next season.

'We have four competitions this season and I try to win four competitions,' said Scolari.

'The players the same. But, you know, it's very difficult. But we have the team for this. We have the players for this. We have everything that Chelsea have given to me, everything that I want.'

Chelsea were on course for the Quadruple under Grant last season only to finish empty-handed, but Scolari has promised his players that if they can get themselves to the brink in all four competitions this season, his experience will get them over the line.

'I will try to give to the players confidence,' said the former Brazil and Portugal coach.

'If they are training very well and are training as I've seen every day so far, minimum mistakes will happen. I try to say to the players: "Look, you have confidence in yourselves and, after this, the rest is my problem".'

Scolari insisted he has already decided who will form the core of his team for such a mammoth challenge after watching his side destroy Chengdu Blades 7-0 in Macau on Saturday night.

He said: 'I have a minimum of 75 per cent of this team in my mind.'

One player he would like to add is Real Madrid playmaker Robinho. Reports claimed yesterday that Chelsea have made an offer of £31.5million and Robinho has already agreed personal terms.

But Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon said: 'This is one that could go on for quite some time but, up until now, there's nothing to update.'
