Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has brushed off the latest tabloid rumours surrounding one of his players and insisted that his players' personal lives are none of his business.
Blues skipper John Terry has been the subject of intense media focus in the last few weeks after revelations of an alleged affair with Wayne Bridge's girlfriend surfaced.
Ashley Cole has also been in the tabloid spotlight this week after allegations of marital infidelity and 'sex texting' were published.
But the Chelsea manager will not be taking any action against his players as long as they continue to perform on the pitch.
"I don't care who my captain or troops go to bed with, but what ideas they wake up with in the morning," Ancelotti told La Stampa.
Meanwhile, the Blues face Inter and Jose Mourinho in the Champions League. Ancelotti had a long-running feud with the 'Special One' whilst he was manager at Inter's neighbours Milan prior to becoming Chelsea boss.
He is looking forward to renewing acquaintance with his old rival when the west Londoners lock horns with the Italian giants.
"We're level. In the derby last year, we won 1-0 in the first leg and it was 2-1 to him in the return," Ancelotti quipped.
"Jose is a great coach who I respect a lot. I know what he has given to Inter and I know what he left Chelsea: even the coat that is in the club's museum.
"But the match won't be about us. It will be about the players."
