Geremi said "The Champions League was one of the reasons I came to Chelsea. It's a very high level, exciting to play in and different to the Premiership.

"Different tactics are required. We need to win in Prague, we need three points and it's very important for the team that we start well.

"I like competition for places and it's up to the boss where I play. I prefer wide right but if the manager wants me to play in front of the back four, I'll play there. Being able to play in two positions can be good and bad for me. It means I can fit in around others but it also means it's harder to hold down one position.

"You have to play well when you have the chance because if you play badly, you can be overlooked. We have one of the best squads in Europe and now we must build a team. With the quality players we have, we should be able to do this."
