Jose Mourinho dismissed talks about Chelsea dominating Premier League over the next few years as they inch closer to their first Premier League title in five years.
The Blues are currently 13 points clear off their nearest rivals Arsenal and Manchester City and a win against Crystal Palace on Sunday will see them clinch Premier League title.
However Mourinho is wary of the talk that the current Chelsea side can dominate Premier League for the next few years and says that Premier League title is very hard to defend as the top teams have top squads.
He said, “There are countries where it’s common [to have] domination, Bayern Munich, Celtic Glasgow, Basel, Olympiakos. There are countries where the domination is there years, and years and years. I don’t think this country [England] is a good example of that.
“It’s very unpredictable and I can imagine for next season the top squads, because we are speaking about the top teams, we are not speaking about fragile squads that need a complete change we are speaking about top squads.
“And you can imagine top squads with a few new players you can imagine that next season every one of the title contenders is going to be very, very strong.
“So I think in relation to the Premier League, when the season starts, if you want to be champions, you have the risk also to finish fifth and I think next season is going to be the same.”
Chelsea will also become the first team outside Manchester to clinch Premier League since 2009-10. Manchester United and Manchester City combinedly won last four Premier League titles with two apiece.
