Jose Mourinho broke his vow of silence after being fined by the FA due to his comments regarding Premier League referees. During his pre-match press conference, Mourinho was clearly uncomfortable talking with the press, but never refused to answer any questions.
"You know why I'm here, so you cannot expect that I'm super happy to be here," Mou said. After being asked why he did not speak before Chelsea's game against Manchester City, the Portuguese boss said media representatives already knew the answer.
"You could make noise with my silence, because you know the reason for my silence. It depends on you. If I was a journalist, from silence I could make lots of words," Chelsea's boss added.
Regarding the team's new player, Colombian Juan Cuadrado, Mourinho refused to predict how the player will adapt to Chelsea's tactics, but he stated the former Fiorentina player could make his debut against the Villains.
"I don't think it's the best thing for him that I speak about expectations. He needs his time, as everyone does. He will have his time. It's not a panic buy. He trained just two days. I cannot say much. The business situation almost to the last minute on Monday, he had to go to Paris for visas and the legal situation on Tuesday," Mourinho reflected.
Finally, Mourinho looked back to what his team's been doing in the recent games, while he denied being worried about what other sides are trying to do to catch up with them.
"I feel the distance could be much bigger. If I analysed – which I'm not going to do – the last five, six, seven matches, we could, we should have a bigger difference. It's up to the others to wonder whether they are title contenders or not. We consider we are, even if sometimes it's more difficult that it might be," the coach stated.
