Cech - "We want to beat Spartak and concentrate on the League".

Petr Cech has added his voice to Carlo Ancelotti's yesterday when he called for his Chelsea team to beat Spartak Moscow tomorrow in order for Chelsea to concentrate on a massive period of games coming up in the Premier League. Cech said:

"We want to beat Spartak Moscow, qualify from the Champions League group and concentrate on the league. Once we qualify, we can rotate more players and save energy for the upcoming weeks. The other advantage is that we play everyone around us near Christmas - the big four and those trying to get there.

So this is a good time for us with no Carling (League) Cup and no Champions League. If we go through the Christmas period ahead by the same number of points, it will be a massive boost for us.

Last season the key thing was that we won all those games against the big four. This season will be the same. If you win, you increase the gap every time. We know that this November and the Christmas period will be tricky.

We have Manchester United, we have to go to Liverpool and play Tottenham and Arsenal."

As I said yesterday it is important to get the group won and over with asap. Chelsea have that chance tomorrow and you can see New odds everyday on their chances and let's hope we get it done to focus back on maintaining or improving our lead over the busy period coming up.
