Contradicting Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho's comments Tuesday, Blues goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois believes his side can win the quadruple this campaign. "Myself, Costa, Filipe, Fabregas and the rest of the team want to win trophies for Chelsea. That starts in the League Cup to the last game in the Champions League," Courtois told The Guardian. "We want to win everything, it will be difficult, but I think we have the team to do it. Hopefully we can achieve it." Chelsea took one step closer to a berth in the Capital One Cup final by recording a 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Tuesday, and Courtois says the squad is hungry for more. "It's difficult to say if we could win all four but we are playing well. We have passed through all competitions. Now we are in the semifinal of the Capital One Cup, are top of the league, there is an important game in the FA Cup on Saturday which we have to win and soon we will be playing PSG in the Champions League. It will be hard but we have the team that can win everything. It's what we're aiming for. "If you play a final and win it, you get that feeling to win trophies and you want to win more and 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." Mourinho was in a less-optimistic mood following the draw with Liverpool, nixing Chelsea's chances at a domestic treble the season. And although his side have a five-point lead in the Premier League and an FA Cup tie against League One Bradford, Mourinho is adamant it is impossible for them to win all three competitions. "No," he said in a news conference. "It is too difficult." Information from Richard Jolly was used in this report.
