Mourinho doesn't rate Liverpool for the title
Posted by DavidM in Chelsea, Jose Mourinho, Liverpool | 2 August 2006
Teamtalk has an interview with Jose Mourinho where he is uncharacteristically complementary about the opposition for the coming season.
He rates Manchester United and Arsenal, citing the transfers of Carrick and Rosicky respectively, but while complementary about Liverpool, doesn't rate them as highly as the other two.
"I still believe that Man United and Arsenal will be the biggest threat, in spite of the fact Arsenal finished fourth and Liverpool third. They will still be the better teams."
"I say that because of the quality of their football, the way they play, the improvements in their squads."
More worryingly, Mourinho talks about the cameraderie at Chelsea.
"...the way they are working together reminds me of our group in the first year I came here. In the first year from the first day we were feeling and smelling a fantastic group and a great family"
Smelling? Is this Chelsea's secret - a special cologne worn by the squad that dazes the opposition - or is Jose simply referring to the sweet smell of success?
