By the middle of January, it seems battle of English premier league title has shrunken between the top two, i.e., Chelsea and Manchester City that is why almost every sports media is heading at least one news about their likelihood to win this English topflight. We read a new statement by any mentor of either side claiming they are going to win this English season; however, no one is talking about Manchester United and Southampton who could as well be dangerous for both of the toppers. Mourinho enjoys the top position with two points lead to City rival and if they triumph their next game with Swansea City on Saturday they can ensure they will not be ousted from the highest position at least in January. However, on the other side, City as well look targeted for regaining their last year place when they substituted Blues around the same time. Yet, former Everton manager denies off having any pressure of the upcoming league games, maybe he is playing some kind of mind game he is known for!
Anyways, finding himself in the same situation he had been in the last season, second term serving Blues boss also talked about their plans for the winter transfer market and if they will target new players this month. He said, “Last year, you asked me and I didn’t lie to you, but at the end Mata was sold, and because he was sold we had to react to that. I am happy with the squad, it is not big, but we have a good group, not just a group to play but to live together.
“I will happy if nobody leaves or comes this month but the market is open and you never know. I do not want to lie to you.”
While adding about City transfer plans this winter, he added, “Well done, good player, good striker, if they have the money and can spend it and have no problems with, well done. They can only play with 11, unless the rules for them are different and they can play with 12.
“It looks like the rules are different for them in certain aspects, but not this one. If Bony plays and Dzeko is on the bench, I am happy with that. Fantastic squad, one more top player for that squad. Aguero, Jovetic, Bony and Dzeko are fantastic. Well done.”
