Jose Mourinho has claimed that 'Chelsea love big games' yesterday after ending Manchester City's unbeaten record at home by win 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
" We love big games and the best thing for our evolution is to play matches under pressure, We beat Man City twice but they are the best team we have played. Today we won because we were the best team.", Portuguese said.
" There are two big horses and a little horse, A horse that next season can race. We can win it if they lose it. Arsenal are working for many, many years for the evolution of their team. What we are doing this season is what Arsenal have been building to for years. We are there, but are not favorites. We are preparing the team to be one of the favorites next season and this is a very important step.", he added on Chelsea's Premier league title race.
" We lost points at home against West Brom, against West Ham, we lost at Stoke, we lost at Newcastle. We are a team in evolution but this is the kind of performance that helps the team to grow up a lot, tactically, mentally, I think it was fantastic."
'It's not our objective to win the league. Our objective is to build the team and complete the puzzle and formation of the players. Some managers because of their nature and DNA say they need two or three years.", explained the manager.
" I think they did amazing. When the team lost the ball they all sacrificed for the team. Our record was not good against City in the last few years, this season we managed to win these two matches especially this one. Today we won because we were the best team - I am not saying we are better, I am just saying we were today.", he said.
" I didn't speak, it was Billy the masseur that spoke to the team. He was screaming so much in Scottish I didn't understand him. I am serious. But the players were clapping. It was Billy's team-talk. The last time I spoke to the players was midday.", joked Mourinho.
