Jose Mourinho believes his team have made a huge leap forward this season.
With three league games remaining, the first of which is against Liverpool this afternoon, the Blues have already secured the Barclays Premier League title in the manager’s second season since returning to the Stamford Bridge helm.
Last term we finished in third place with 82 points. It is a figure we have already usurped with nine still to play for and Mourinho considered that fact and also revealed his thoughts for his and the club’s future.
‘We have improved,’ the boss said. ‘We have gone from third to first – two very important steps, and probably the most difficult steps. The most difficult step is the one that makes you champions, and we have made that step.
‘I want to develop this team. I didn’t stay at Inter or Real Madrid because I didn’t want to stay. I want to stay here,’ stressed Mourinho. ‘That is why I am in Mr Abramovich’s hands.
‘He has no pressure. He doesn’t need to give me a contract tomorrow, he doesn’t need to give me more money, and he doesn’t need to be worried a club are knocking on my door.
‘While he wants me, I am staying, and when he doesn’t want me, I am going. It’s so simple for him, and also so simple for me.’
Even though we have already wrapped up this season’s league title, the third of Mourinho’s Chelsea career, our manager knows every game matters. He has evidence to prove it and it is why he is so keen to continue our terrific form and end the season on a high.
‘The only thing Crystal Palace [last Sunday] didn’t do was send the goalkeeper forward for the last corner. They were playing a final, like it has to be.
‘Watford lost the title against a team that didn’t need anything [Sheffield Wednesday]. They went to Watford and in the last minute they scored a goal and celebrated like they had won the title. This is football.’
