Cech: It's going to be a very difficult game

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech believes his side will have to be at their best if they are to retain the UEFA Champions League trophy.
　
The Blues will host Juventus at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night in their Group E opener.
　
He said: 'Anybody who plays against us will want to raise their game, we are the defending champions so its extra motivation for everybody.
　
'We're playing Juventus, who have been missing from the Champions League for a few seasons, so they will definitely want to show they are back.
　
'Last time we played them we beat them in the knockout stages (in 2009), so this is a chance for them to get revenge for that defeat.
　
'If we win every home game and lose every away game but win the Champions League, it doesn't really matter. We want to improve, though, because in all of our away games last season we were in a good position but failed to kill the match off, so that's definitely an area we want to build on to make our life easier.'
　
The 30-year-old shot stopper believes keeping a clean will 'relieve him of pressure'.
　
'It's always better if you can keep a clean sheet in the Champions League as it relieves the pressure.
　
'It's been a positive start in that sense and we want to keep it going. Against Juventus it will be important as I don't see a game with many goals.
　
'They've been doing well and they will want to keep progressing. They have quite a few younger players who came through a couple of years ago who are still there, they have a very good defence and of course (Gianluigi) Buffon in goal, so it's going to be a very difficult game.'
