Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is keen for his players to express themselves next season.
The 33-year-old believes the key to success for Chelsea, who are chasing their first Champions League crown, will be to take the shackles off.
"You free them (the players) from the limitations that they might have in a different kind of system but, in the end, you make them believe in their qualities and this is the most important thing," Villas-Boas told Chelsea magazine.
"The club hasn't stopped in time since I left, it has evolved in various ways but to have the kind of empathy that I have with the people is decisive.
"It goes from top to bottom and it's with people who meant a lot to me when I was here.
"We had a good three-and-a-half years here and recalling all these people, what they are able to do and what their ambitions are, is something important to me.
"I think we are on for a great season.
"Coming here is not just a question of big, radical changes. You have to be clear in what you do and decide well and I'm confident that we have enough people with the quality here to go forward."
