PREVIEW: CHELSEA V BAYERN (QTRS. 1ST LEG)

The Mourinho factor

AFP, London
Chelsea must beat Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals if they are to realise their Champions League dream but minus their outspoken manager Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese boss will be exiled to the stands during both legs, starting Tuesday at Stamford Bridge, leaving Bayern fancying their chances of rubbing salt into Mourinho's wounds.
The Blues manager was also slapped by European football's governing body UEFA with a 20,000 Swiss franc (13,000 euro, 17,000 dollar) fine for alleging that Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard entered referee Anders Frisk's dressing room at halftime in Chelsea's previous round clash.
Now Mourinho will be unable to enter the dressing rooms and talk to his players at half-time, leaving his dour assistant Steve Clarke in
charge.
The sanction even seems to have convinced Mourinho into keeping a lid on his notorious arrogance.
"I'm not on the bench on Wednesday, and also next week, and it's something that I don't want to comment or say what I have in myself," he told Chelsea TV. "It's clear you cannot say too much. I must keep quiet."
France midfielder Claude Makelele was convinced Mourinho's punishment would not hamper the English Premiership leaders' chances of overturning their German counterparts.
"Jose's absence will not affect us totally although it will be a blow," he told the News of the World.
"It is possible we will suffer because we are where we are today thanks to him. We understand what he wants to convey from the bench during the game. We need him to give us directions. Mourinho has a massive presence and having him on the bench helps us enourmously.
"We just look to Mourinho on the bench and we instantly know what we
are doing well and what we need to correct."
Bundesliga leaders Bayern are eager to capitalise on a Chelsea shorn of the manager who guided unfancied Porto to the Champions League title last season. Boss Felix Megath, for one, is not short on confidence.
"I know all about Chelsea having faced them with VfB Stuttgart last season," declared Magath. "Chelsea were strong favourites when the draw was made but we are coming into form. I am convinced we can turn them over."
England midfielder Owen Hargreaves has also served the Blues notice of Bayern's intentions.
"If we can beat Chelsea we can go on to win the Champions League. We are not here to make up the numbers," Hargreaves vowed. "We have great players in every position and although Chelsea are a fantastic team, we can definitely beat them."
Bayern's record 18.75 million euro signing Roy Makaay is expected to shrug off a thigh injury in time for the Chelsea clash.
But the visitors will be without Peru striker Claudio Pizzaro who lasted just six minutes of Bayern's 3-0 win at Wolfsburg on Saturday.
Chelsea's lynchpin Netherlands winger Arjen Robben misses out while forward Mateja Kezman is suspended.
Mourinho feels he has everything in place for a comfortable night watching his team from the passenger's seat.
He said: "The team is ready. We know the way we want to play, we study the opponent. We know the opponents' style and their good qualities."
If Bayern do get the better of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho will be silently hatching a recovery plan to keep his grasp on Europe's top trophy.
"I will be concentrating on the game. I will be following the game like I always do. Between the first game and the second game I can work with the team.
"I will have my eyes completely open to try to prepare the team for the second game."
