LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea can win the four competitions they will be taking part in next season, coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said.

Captain John Terry, with Scolari on the Premier League club's tour of Asia, said he had put his dramatic Champions League final penalty miss behind him.

"There's no point in dwelling on it any more," Terry said of the failed spot-kick which allowed Manchester United to beat Chelsea in the final in Moscow and deny them their first European Cup.

"It's down to me to drive this team forward again and push to get back to where we were," the England defender told British newspapers in Kuala Lumpur.

Scolari believes the London club have the players to win the Premier League, two domestic cups and European Champions League.

"We are in four competitions this season and I will try to win all four and the players will do the same," Scolari said.

"It's very difficult but you know we have the team to do this...Chelsea have given to me everything that I want," the Brazilian said before his team were due to play a Malaysian Select XI.

"The players have confidence, they reached two finals and the last game of the Premier League last season (with the chance of the championship)."

  2. More big-talk from a Chelski manager. Who really cares? A couple of trophies every now & again ain't achieving the dream..which is, as always, to be the 'new Manchester United'.

    Kenyon said they would be "as big a force in world football as United" 5 years ago, but mwuhum..I don't think so, you treacherous, money-grabbing little slap-head. As big a force as Blackburn or Portsmouth maybe, but dream on son, there's only one United. He knows that coz he worked for us and he was just trying to impress Abramovich.

    Go on Roman mate, throw some more of your money at it. Look at the crappy paintings he just paid £20m for. The bloke is the epitome of more money than sense.

  3. It's quitge great that Scolari and the eam are very ambitious and have a strong vision and objective to reach. At Chelsea we mean business this season and we mean it! To bring Ronaldo to Chelsie doesn't really matter, we have a very strong squad that, with Scolari's skills & experience, can bring trophies at Stamford Bridge. Let's wait and see but watch-out the Blues guys!

  4. right of course Chelsea can win it all..........but they won't......because they have a small obstacle in front of them called M/c United, maybe Scolari should buy Ronaldo instead of advising him to move to Real Madrid .... another arse-hole who should keep his big gob shut & out of Man U's business
