“5:0 - can you believe it!? Barcelona won 5:0 with us. It was the pogrom. After the match in the locker room there was a total chaos. Some of us were crying, some were quarreling, some were looking at the floor. Then Jose Mourinho came to the locker room. He knew how bad it was. He looked at us and said:

“I know it hurts you. So much. Maybe for some of you it’s the greatest failure of all. But that’s only the beginning. They are happy now, as if they already had the championship, but for now they only won a match. There is a long way to the title. Tomorrow you are free, but don’t sit in your homes. Take your families, children, friends and go for a walk in the city. Let people see that you can deal with it. Maybe you will hear something mean, but don’t hide. Show your balls. And after that we will fight for the title.”

I thought to myself - damn, it makes sense. Boys looked at themselves and I saw it worked on them. We rose after this disaster sooner than anyone expected. For another time I understood how much does psychology mean in sport. How much you can gain or lose. And what an expert and psychologist Jose Mourinho is.”

Just a shame he couldn't stop them getting battered 5-0 in the first place.

It's a bigger shame that you continually criticise him without backing up your reasons for doing so. If you don't want him here, maybe come up with someone better.

He doesn't even say that in the interview like at all. He says something along the lines of "and I think he's going to PSG... But really I don't know" lol

I've given the reasons but you just want me to repeat them ad nauseum for some odd reason. Quite fancy that Pellegrini chap now, seems interesting.

He's been getting more mentions, and looking at his track record I really don't know why.

With Jose, my reservation was with his use of younger players but I actually went back and looked at his time here and he used far more young players than you'd expect given their lack of quality compared to right now. Then I look at how he's handled Varane and I think that he could use the academy pretty well.

What he should have is more stability than any other manager, bar Pep.

I just can't see anyone else coming in and fixing our broken Chelsea. It's him or nobody for me right now, As much as it hurts me to say it, I am not enjoying watching my team play at the moment. It is unbearable...

Would you believe i fell asleep watching the boro game?? Couldn't handle it anymore..

Mourinho seriously ? He screwed it up with best Real madrid side in years . We do not have a side half as good as real madrid , it'd be stupid to resign him plus we need to look forward , what he has done for us in the past in legendary but i don't think he'll be able to repeat that up . Don't lash at me , It's just my opinion .

Mourinho is the man who built this so-called best Madrid side in years. Thats exactly the reason why I want Mourinho in Chelsea next year- his tremendious skill to build a team, something we desperatly need right now.

but if he does come here, don't you think his first priority will be to sign better players in certain positions? say CDM and ST. use of our academy will be limited then.

that is my only reservation with Jose. Varane is an isolated example at Madrid. more like the exception to the rule than the rule itself.

we will rebuild with him but at the cost of the current youngsters and we have a good batch of them coming through - Kalas , PvA, Romeu, Chalobah, Piazon, de bruyne, lukaku. don't think Mourinho will utilise them w/o signing big players first
