Chelsea fullback Ferreira determined to silence Spurs ace Bale

Chelsea defender Paulo Ferreira wants revenge on Tottenham star Gareth Bale.

Ferreira will be given the task of marking the left-winger after right-back Jose Bosingwa suffered a hamstring injury against Marseille.

Ferreira was humiliated by Bale, who scored one of the goals, when Spurs beat Chelsea 2-1 back in April.

But the Portugal international insists he is ready for the Wales international this time around.

"If I have to play against Gareth Bale again, I will be ready," said Ferreira. "I will try to give everything. He did very well against me last April but let's see what he will do this time.

"He is in great shape and it will be difficult to mark him but Spurs are not just about Bale. They have a good team as well. He is a very quick player and it is hard to keep up with him.

"Even Maicon struggled against him earlier in the season for Inter and he is one of the best right-backs in the world but I will do everything to stop him."
