Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho says the fact he has plenty of knowledge about Chelsea does not make tonight's Champions League clash between the two clubs any easier.
The Portuguese tactician will lead Inter into the first leg of the Round of 16 phase at the San Siro against his former club but says that knowing more about the Blues does not actually count for much.
"I know Chelsea well but that doesn't mean that it's any easier," he said.
"Sometimes it's more difficult because when you know so much about the team, if you don't decide what is the right information to give to the your new players about your old players, you can get into trouble.

Mourinho added that Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti, with his intricate knowledge of Italian clubs, would have the same feelings.
"It's not easy," added Mourinho.
"I don't think it is for Carlo Ancelotti, who knows Inter very well, and has worked all his life in Italian football and played against Inter a dozen times and is a local man, a man from Milan, from the same city.
"I think he knows everything about us, everything about our players, but I don't think it's an advantage at all."
