The Belgium international was in sensational form against Liverpool in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday and insists he is part of a squad that can win four trophies this season
The Belgium international goalkeeper produced a man-of-the-match display at Anfield on Tuesday which helped secure a 1-1 draw against Liverpool in the Capital One Cup semi-final first leg as the Blues remained on course to secure the first domestic silverware of the new season.
Chelsea, who currently have a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League, face lower-league opposition in the fourth round of the FA Cup and have been drawn against Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 of the Champions League,
And, in contradiction to his manager's public stance, Courtois feels confident he is part of a squad that is capable of maintaining a fight on four fronts.
"It will be hard but we have the team that can win everything," he told reporters. "Obviously there are a lot of teams that can win too. It will be hard, but it’s what we’re aiming for.
"If we can play in a final and win it, you get that feeling to win trophies and you want to win more and more.
"That feeling is in the whole group now, especially after what happened last season when they didn’t win anything and were close to some trophies. You want to win everything that’s possible, starting with the League Cup.
"I think the draw at Liverpool is a good result. Now the second leg will be like a final, in front of our fans I think we have to be able to win.
"Our home record gives us confidence. We know we are strong at home. Liverpool have been playing really well these last few weeks and are really dangerous. We know it will be tough, but I think we are able to do more at home - we have to win that game.
"The new players like myself, Diego Costa, Filipe Luis, Cesc Fabregas and the rest of the team want to win trophies for Chelsea. That starts in the League Cup and until the last game in the Champions League.
“We want to win everything, it will be difficult, but I think we have the team to do it.
"We are playing well and we have passed through in all competitions. Now we are in the semi-final of the Capital One Cup, are top of the League, there is an important game in the FA Cup [against Bradford] on Saturday which we have to win and soon we will be playing Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League."
