Internazionale coach Jose Mourinho has already started the mind games ahead of the Serie A side's Champions League clashes against former club Chelsea.

The Italian champions face Carlo Ancelotti's men on February 24 and March 16 as they search for a place in the quarter-finals.

Mourinho left the Stamford Bridge club in 2007 and believes he knows which players will be in both starting line-ups.

Speaking to reporters, he said: "I think Ancelotti is a very good coach and the team feels comfortable this way. And the team really is at the top, they are one of the best teams in the world.

"When I look at that team only Branislav Ivanovic and Nicolas Anelka are not players from my time.

All the other boys - Petr Cech, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole, Essien, Mikel, Drogba, Malouda, Joe Cole, Kalou - all of them are boys from my time.

"So it's a team without secrets for me. But at the same time I think I'm a coach without secrets for them. It will be easy for me, but I think also easy for them."
