Jose Press Conference about to begin

Mourinho: 'After a week I am still the happy one because my boys have been fantastic.' #CFCTour

Mourinho says there are no priorities this season, every competition means the same. #CFCTour

Jose also says the Premier League will be open with plenty of candidates to win it. 'We want to be there & will be fighting.' #CFCTour

Marco van Ginkel: 'The first week of training has been very good. I want to play as many games as possible but we will see.' #CFCtour

Branislav Ivanovic says the players are feeling very confident and there is a lot of motivation. #CFCtour

Ivanovic says the first week working with Jose Mourinho has been impressive but the players need to stay focused. #CFCtour

Van Ginkel says from this manager you can learn everything and the Chelsea players can teach a lot as well. #CFCtour

Mourinho expects a difficult game from the Singha All-Stars, who are in good condition, but says nobody wants to lose the game. #CFCTour

Mourinho: We will play 2 teams, 1 in 1st half and 1 in 2nd. Everybody will play 45 minutes & they have to give strong performance.

Team tomorrow: Cech, Wallace, Kalas, Terry, Cole; Lamps, Essien; Piazon, De Bruyne, Schurrle; Lukaku. #CFCTour

2nd half: Blackman, Ivanovic, Cahill, Chalobah, Bertrand; Van Ginkel, Ramires; De Bruyne (again), Hazard, Moses; Ba. #CFCTour

That Twitter account has +60k followers, including several Chelsea under-21 players and the official Chelsea FC twitter account. He is usually quite reliable

Or - perhaps he wants to see how KdB plays with Lukaku AND Ba?

Not unreasonable...
