Rebrov not concerned with Chelsea's woes
Wednesday 4 November 2015 15:38, UK
Dynamo Kiev head coach Sergei Rebrov is not concerned with Chelsea's form or Jose Mourinho's current situation ahead of their Champions League meeting on Wednesday.
The Ukraine side sit second in Group G, one place ahead of their opponents, and victory for the visitors would make a significant dent in Chelsea's bid to make the knockout stages.
The Blues have won just one of their last eight games in all competitions while Mourinho has been reprimanded for two separate offences already in the Premier League this season.
"It's a little bit funny, ridiculous that I have to constantly answer the questions about Mourinho," said Rebrov. "Fifty percent of questions are about Mourinho."
The former Tottenham and West Ham striker, who enjoyed a fine strike partnership with ex-Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko during the pair's playing days, is looking to add to Mourinho's woes.
Chelsea, who sit 15th in the Premier League, have lost eight times in 17 games in all competitions, with another draw resulting in a penalty shoot-out defeat to Stoke in the Capital One Cup.
"We really shouldn't be thinking about what's happening with Chelsea at the moment," Rebrov said. "What is happening with them now can happen to anyone.
"We need to focus on our game and not to think whether it's a wounded animal or not. We didn't think about that in Kiev and we won't tomorrow.
"We wish Chelsea to do very well in the Premier League but not tomorrow."
Mourinho admitted on Tuesday he would be happy with a draw, but Rebrov is targeting all three points ahead of their showdown at Stamford Bridge.
"Of course we will not be happy with a draw," added Rebrov. "We weren't happy with the draw in Kiev. We'll play to win this game tomorrow and you'll see Dynamo attacking.
"The main thing is not only to attack and to win, but to play as a team."
