Chelsea can win the quadruple, boasts Courtois

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut
Courtois insists his manager
Jose Mourinho is wrong to
dismiss his side's chances of
landing an unprecedented
quadruple this season.
The Belgium international goalkeeper produced a man-of-
the-match display at Anfield on Tuesday which helped
secure a 1-1 draw against Liverpool in the Capital One Cup
semi-final first leg as the Blues remained on course to
secure the first domestic silverware of the new season.
Chelsea, who currently have a five-point lead at the top of
the Premier League, face lower-league opposition in the
fourth round of the FA Cup and have been drawn against
Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 of the Champions
League,
And, in contradiction to his manager's public stance,
Courtois feels confident he is part of a squad that is
capable of maintaining a fight on four fronts.
"It will be hard but we have the team that can win
everything," he told reporters. "Obviously there are a lot of
teams that can win too. It will be hard, but it's what we're
aiming for.
"If we can play in a final and win it, you get that feeling to
win trophies and you want to win more and more.
"That feeling is in the whole group now, especially after
what happened last season when they didn't win anything
and were close to some trophies. You want to win
everything that's possible, starting with the League Cup.
"I think the draw at Liverpool is a good result. Now the
second leg will be like a final, in front of our fans I think
we have to be able to win.
"Our home record gives us confidence. We know we are
strong at home. Liverpool have been playing really well
these last few weeks and are really dangerous. We know it
will be tough, but I think we are able to do more at home -
we have to win that game.
"The new players like myself, Diego Costa, Filipe Luis,
Cesc Fabregas and the rest of the team want to win
trophies for Chelsea. That starts in the League Cup and
until the last game in the Champions League.
"We want to win everything, it will be difficult, but I think
we have the team to do it.
"We are playing well and we have passed through in all
competitions. Now we are in the semi-final of the Capital
One Cup, are top of the League, there is an important game
in the FA Cup [against Bradford] on Saturday which we
have to win and soon we will be playing Paris Saint-
Germain in the Champions League."
