Olympiakos midfielder optimistic about causing upset

Olympiakos' Luciano Galletti admits that Chelsea possess dangerous players, but believes all the pressure is on The Blues to progress to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. Avram Grant's side have been drawn against the Greek champions in the second round of the Champions League, with most expecting that Chelsea are likely to progress with relative ease. However, 27-year-old midfielder Galletti is sure that if his team-mates perform to their maximum over the two legs, they can secure a memorable triumph over The Blues. "Chelsea were not our preferred opponent, but in football any result is possible and this season The Blues are not as strong as they were in the last," he told skysports.com.

Favourites

"It is a positive that Chelsea are favourites because the pressure is on them in both legs. We need to perform well at our stadium and then to restrict their options in London. "At the moment Chelsea are struggling with key injuries, however I think those players will have returned by February. "Chelsea is a team of stars and anyone of them can decide a match at any moment - that is a real danger. "For us to progress past the second round we will need to play each leg at 200 per cent."
