Jose Mourinho will reportedly hold a team meeting today to warn his Chelski stars that Barcelona will use dirty tricks in a bid to get them either sent off or booked when the two sides meet on Wednesday.

 

Mourinho will particularly stress the point to John Terry and Frank Lampard, both of whom would be suspended from the return leg in the Nou Camp if they were to be cautioned at Stamford Bridge.

 

The Chelski boss, says The Daily Telegraph, will tell the pair that ?Barcelona may seek to provoke a booking?.

 

Mourinho is also expected to use his pre-match press conference today to put pressure on referee Terje Hauge by citing Barcelona's penalty record this season. The Catalans have already earned eleven spot-kicks this term, resulting in nine dismissals.

 

Quoted in The Sun this morning, the man who defended Arjen Robben's recent theatrics against Liverpool, declared: "Let it be clear: I don?t like dives or divers. Nor do I like winning or losing because of refereeing mistakes. But I also don?t like fairy-tale discussions.?
