Jose Mourinho undermines their top board position seems not to be confident about their top league position even at this stage that is why he is copying his last season’s statement and raising his doubts over its implications. He still says, like last year, their supreme position in the league leaderboard is not real and raises his fingers over Manchester City who, according to him, is the most threatening opponent in their victory march. Although, Blues’ convincing 2-1 victory over Aston Villa this Saturday made their position even stronger along with a draw by ManCity with Hull that made them a good eleven points adrift to the North Londoners. Calling it the effect of premier league class, Portuguese said dejecting their lead, “In another country I would say it’s fantastic, in this country I would say it’s nothing. Every game is difficult, anything can happen. It’s very, very difficult. Seven points means seven points, we have 14 matches to go. We are speaking about 42 points to play for and in 42 we have a lead of seven. I think it’s nothing.”
Actually, this is not the first time, former Everton manager is leading Chelsea or any English side as he has seen the changing fate of top sides in the premier league during his first stay with Stamford Bridge side, hence he does not want to over joy over their position ignoring other contenders who are fast reaching them including Manchester giants,. He added, “I’m surprised by nothing. In this country every team can take points so I am not surprised. I didn’t care about it. Somebody told me after the game and that was it. Before the game I was not worried and during the game and I didn’t imagine the result.
“When you are top of the league you don’t need other teams to lose points. If they lose, good, but if they don’t it’s not a problem. We have to focus on ourselves. If we win the next game we have a seven-point lead with 13 matches to go. Let’s try to go step by step.”
It looks Mourinho is passing through some kind of pressure that is not letting him feel the job of being on the top for so long in English premier league and fans are confident they will triumph this English topflight defeating Manchester City or ManU for that matter. Next few games are against not so big sides; hence Portuguese can further enhance his lead comfortably for the last stage of English season.
