Morientes has insider’s knowledge of Ranieri

MONACO striker Fernando Morientes believes his knowledge of Claudio Ranieri could give his side a vital edge in tonight’s Champions League semi-final.

The on-loan ace also singled out Frank Lampard as the man to stop if the French are to continue their progress all the way to the final.

"After knocking out Real Madrid we weren't bothered if we played Arsenal or Chelsea in the last four because they are both great teams with great managers. But I know more about the way Chelsea play because I have a real understanding of the way Claudio Ranieri trains his teams from his time at Valencia," said Morientes.
