Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho expects his side to rise to the occasion when they take on Paris St Germain in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

The Blues will travel to France after suffering a costly 1-0 defeat at Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Mourinho questioned the qualities of his players at Selhurst Park, but he anticipates they will shake off the setback at Parc des Princes.<\/p>\n

He said: “I don’t think I need to do a lot now. Paris is the kind of match they feel comfortable to play.<\/p>\n

“A big match, great stadium, opponents with top quality, a profile of referee that normally stops a lot, doesn’t let aggression come into the game.<\/p>\n

“I think they will be fine, they will be in their natural habitat in that match so I believe they can do a good match there.”<\/p>\n

Mourinho has repeatedly insisted this season that his players must learn to perform when the results really matter.<\/p>\n

He suggested some Chelsea players were out of their comfort zone at Crystal Palace, just as they had been in defeats at Everton, Newcastle and Stoke earlier in the season.<\/p>\n

“The easiest thing to do is to play well, is to perform, when you are not playing for something big,” Mourinho said.<\/p>\n

“The difficult thing is to perform when you feel the heat. Because of that some players are big and some are not so big.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think it’s courage. I think it’s personality qualities.<\/p>\n

“You have players for everything and you have other players that are in their habitat in some circumstances.”<\/p>\n

Mourinho revealed striker Samuel Eto’o is unlikely to be fit for Wednesday’s match and left-back Ashley Cole is definitely out.<\/p>\n
