Chelsea’s manager Jose Mourinho claims that his side will win premier league this season and remains confident in his players’ abilities. The Blues lead second placed manchester City by five points with an extra game in hand.
The Blues were knocked out of Champions League this wednesday after 2-2 draw against an inspired 10-man PSG side. Chelsea were unable to progress despite taking the lead twice in the game. The players are declared injury free ahead of their clash with the Saints despite their tired performance in their Champions League fixture.
The meeting with the players took pace after champions league exit and Mourinho sums up that they want to become champions this season.
He said, “I think our answer is going to be good. I really believe we are going to win. I have the same belief in these players. Unshakeable. Absolutely. Absolutely.
“They responded in the meeting the way I expected: open communication. Nobody afraid to speak, nobody shy. Not everybody spoke, but good opinions, different opinions: one opinion from a goalkeeper, another from a striker.
“Their opinions were based on what they felt on the pitch, different from person to person. People on the bench had a different vision watching from the outside. And we discussed. We closed the chapter.
“What we can do now for ourselves and our club is win the Premier League. There are 11 matches to play in only one competition. Our situation is good. It’s better than anyone else’s. Everybody would love to be in our position.
“This is what we want to do. I closed with the players the chapter on the Champions League. We closed the chapter, but we still have the book to write. Let’s see if the last page of the book is with the Premier League trophy in their hands.”
“The people who went out on Wednesday are the same who have been top of the league since day one. They are the same people who won the Capital One Cup and the same people who are going to win the Premier League.”
Asked about their Champions League game he continued, “If you want to speak about the Champions League you have to go to Arsene Wenger or Manuel Pellegrini. They represent England. They have to win one match and I hope they do it.”
“What we can do now for our club is to win the Premier League. Our situation is good. Everybody would love to be in our position. If we win the Premier League and the League Cup it’s a brilliant season,” he continued.
