AVB: Chelsea problems? Simple. We solve them by winning Champions League!

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas insists they can win the Champions League.

The Blues' beleaguered chief insists he is ready to confound his critics by not just beating the Italians, but by going on to win Europe's big club prize.

A defiant AVB said: "First Napoli, then we will see. But if we go past Napoli then we can have a really good chance, depending on who we get in the draw.

"It will be a massive challenge. Everyone saw what Napoli did in a group which put Manchester City out. But I think we have a chance."

And despite a dismal run of results, the Chelsea chief believes his men will be up for the challenge.

He added: "Regarding the Champions League, the players will have a different outlook.

"It's a European game, all of the players will want to play because the Champions League is a competition everyone wants to win.

"It's a different type of preparation, different type of football.

"We will have to be much more competent, play well and then we can finish the business here."
