Chelsea are gearing up 做好准备 for matches with Guangzhou Pharmaceutical and Chengdu Blades this week, though speculation 推测,揣测 over the future of several key players remains.

The Blues arrived in China today and much to the relief 深感欣慰 of new boss Luiz Felipe Scolari, midfielder Frank Lampard has decided to join the squad (切尔西)队 of players for their Asian tour.

But a question mark still hangs over the future 他的未来去向是一个问号 of the player, who has been one of Chelsea's most consistent 一致的,始终如一的 performers in recent seasons.

The question on everyone's lips 大家都在谈论的话题 has been whether or not Lampard will rejoin 重返 his old boss Jose Mourinho, who has just taken the reins 掌管,接管 at Italian side Inter Milan.

Mourinho has made no secret of 毫不隐瞒 his admiration for Lampard and may still succeed in luring 说服诱惑 him to join one of the biggest clubs in European football.

The man who calls himself "The Special One" has just completed his first week of training with Inter.

Surrounded by chants (球迷)吟唱 of "Jose, give us Lampard", and banners proclaiming 横幅宣称 "look out Europe, we’ve got Mourinho", expectations were high among Inter fans that he would bring success to the club.

The sky's the limit
 I don’t put any ceiling on my ambitions and that I will give my players high targets, take risks and be aggressive.
 
Jose Mourinho, Inter Milan manager

Mourinho matched their aspirations 渴望 with his own, saying "I don't put any ceiling on my ambition". By this he meant he didn't want to put any limits on his ambition. A related saying in English is 'the sky's the limit', which means there do not appear to be any no limits at all.

So while rumours abound 有大量传闻 about what Lampard will do next, and with midfielder Claude Makelele now leaving for French club Paris St Germain, Scolari still has to worry about the future of another big name player: Didier Drogba.

Drogba has not joined the club's Asian tour, officially 官方(称) because of a leg injury.

Scolari says that the 30-year-old Ivorian 象牙海岸人 is still "200% in my plans", but the unsettled 尚无东家的 striker has been attracting serious interest from AC Milan and Barcelona.

One bit of good news for Scolari has that been goalkeeper Petr Cech has just signed a new five-year contract.

Cech has said he is happy with the new deal, and is eager to banish memories 从记忆里消除 of mistakes he made in Euro 2008 which allowed Turkey to beat the Czech Republic.

Looking forward to the future
 Mistakes can happen to everyone. It's important to get over it and keep working harder and harder, that's why I'm here.
 
Petr Cech, Chelsea goalkeeper

When you get over something, it means you recover from it. If you play badly in a game of football, one way of getting over it is to play well in the next, which Cech will now be hoping to do during the Asian tour.

His first chance to do this will be Wednesday's game against Guangzhou Pharmaceutical, in what will be Scolari's first game in charge of 领导 Chelsea.
