Jose satisfies with performance in Champions League
Chelsea has surely become more promising ever since their former Jose Mourinho has joined them, and this visible change continues on their European tour as well. Though, their start was not so appealing, but they somehow manage to come back in form and topped the Group E which also ensures they will qualify for the knockout stage – something that looked to be a distanced dream initially. How confident they are growing is obvious with their commanding 3-0 victory over Schalke in the Champions league. Jose admires his team’s confident comeback after a dismissible 2-1 loss to Basel at Stamford Bridge which had sunned their chances to advance to second stage, but now, 50-year-old Portuguese is jubilant by looking Blues run in EPL as well in CL. How he could do that? Or what the magic words he used to rejuvenate his team? Actually, he did nothing but shown the real picture to teammates and asked them how we should reverse the things.

I preferred Chelsea over United: Mourinho
It is a natural human phenomena that an individual habitually becomes loyal to someone he loves the most, it even holds true in professional soccer where top officials are always biased towards their favorite team irrespective of what other teams are willing to offer them or what would be their career prospects if they join someone else. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is one such person who has always been biased towards his London club. He, in fact, had to leave the club back in 2007 citing some misunderstandings with club owners, but still he always wanted to be at Stamford Bridge. Recently, his wish came true and he re-joined his ever wanted club on a four-year term, but now he revealed that he had several good offers from some top notch clubs but he picked Chelsea sidelining clubs like Manchester United. He claims; he knew well in advance that Sir Alex Ferguson is going to retire; perhaps he was being linked for a United’s makeshift by the media, but he rejected an offer to join EPL … [Read more...]

Jose Mourinho finally takes charge of Chelsea’s think-tank and starts signing his notable players. Germany international forward, Andre Schurrle, who has long been a favorite for the London club, is finally a man in the Blues. Notably, Chelsea’s earlier attempt to sign him could not materialize for some reasons but now new manager tries his best and used his negotiation skills to lure Bayer Leverkusen with a £18m paycheck which is much more than 22-year old forward had earlier demanded. The promising striker has a decent track record this season and scored 11 goals in 34 league games played for his German club Bayer Leverkusen. Moreover, with a third place in the league, Leverkusen has automatically qualified for the Championship league in Bundesliga. Actually, Schurrle had some talks with Chelsea last summer too but could not finalize the deal which he later regretted. For now, he will have to go through a medical test and probably some discussions for personal terms and then he can … [Read more...]
