Paris St Germain Manager Laurent Blanc will not be drawn into mind games with José Mourinho before next Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final with Chelsea in Paris, he said on Thursday.
The Chelsea manager described PSG as the favourites to go through when the draw was made last week, to which Laurent Blanc hit back on Thursday: “I will not play this game. It is my choice. Mourinho is going to talk, to comment, it’s the way he operates.”
“He’s very clever and very professional. I have a lot of respect for him. He’s a great coach who has won nearly everything.
“I know him very well because he was on Bobby Robson’s coaching staff when I played for Barcelona.
“I know he will prepare well for this match with us because he is a very professional coach.
“We mustn’t underestimate Chelsea. But like I have already said, they are no stronger or weaker than when the draw came out. They are a great side and they proved it last week with that big win over Arsenal.”
The second leg will take place at Stamford Bridge on April 8.
