Prior to playing their game in hand against Leicester City, Jose Mourinho referred to his team's chances of winning the Premier League, since they have to win two more games out of the five they have remaining. The Special One believes that almost all of his colleagues in the Premier League would have to recognize his team would be a fair winner of this year's title, since they have been able to keep the first place since Matchday One.
Is there any coach that doesn't believe Chelsea deserves to win the championship? Maybe if we win, we should run a poll to know what they think. I think that out of the remaining 19 coaches, there has to be a high percentage of them that will say we deserved to win the Premier League," Mourinho stated.
After being criticized for his "boring" tactics, "Mou" kept defending his coaching style, while giving statistical arguments about why his team should be considered as an "effective" side.
"For me, playing nicely means to go out there knowing how you have to play and what needs to be done to win. Against Arsenal, we were great from the first minute until the last one," the Portuguese added.
Mourinho was criticized by Arsenal's fans and experts for his clinical approach to draw the game against the Gunners.
"You want to analyze what's beautiful? Then we have to establish some criteria to do so. Who's scored the best goals? That's a criteria. If you take that under consideration, then Chelsea's goals have been collectively beautiful. If you want to talk about goals scored, then Manchester City is the best, they have scored more than we have. All the other teams have scored less goals than we have," Mourinho concluded.
