Mourinho Pre game Press Conference (West Brom) Ake injured hamstring for Serbia out for a few weeks. Mikel,not back from international duty until this morning. Costa totally recovered. Fabregas trained with team today simple session. Hopeful he can play. Ramires can play but not in very good condition Mourinho says Chelsea will lose games this season but not because of complacency from being ahead. Complacency wont be a problem.If we lose title it will not be because of complacency. Against Mairbor in CL we lost two points but there gk man of the match, thats football. Chelsea, still fighting on all fronts, have a stacked schedule going forward. But Mourinho isnt worried and is fully focused on West Brom. Jose says he is only thinking about the West Brom game when it comes to team selection, despite busy period ahead Number of matches so high, the days in between matches is so low, it doesnt improve our training programme. It might affect some English clubs in Europe. Christmas period is hard for players new to it, but Diego Costa has worked with a club physio even during a little holiday But this marathon up to the xmas period is something I love. He expects a tight match against a team that knows from the past it can get a result against Chelsea With the Mickey Mouse comments made last year following the West Brom match the Special One had a similar response to suggestions Petr Cech could go to Arsenal in January. In which MIckey Mouse website? In which Mickey Mouse blog? On my desk I have zero proposals (for Cech). He has a contract for two more years, he is a great professional. On Cech - Not once has he knocked on my door to inform me of his desire to (leave).Jose reports that not once has Petr Cech knocked on his door to inform him of a desire to accept any proposals. Mourinho is confident but wary of an in-form Baggies side: I expect to win against West Brom but I expect a tight match because they know they can get a result against us after last season. Mourinho has no intention to rest Diego Costa despite the Spaniard already being on four yellow cards. He admits players who have never played through an English winter, such as Costa, find it difficult to adapt. At the moment we feel he is free of his old injury. Costa has four yellow cards but no way will I rest him - if he gets a fifth, he gets a fifth. The next match is always the most important. On his outspoken jibe about a lack of support at Stamford Bridge: I dont want to make any more comments about it. My job is not to criticise the stadium, even though I did. Mourinho now quizzed on his thoughts on the Portugal national team. Three good points v Armenia, he adds. I didnt see the game v Argentina because I dont like friendlies. Next up Champions League chatter: If Chelsea lose to Schalke and Sporting we finish in the Europa League. Our first objective is to finish second and make it to the last 16. Our first objective is to finish first. xD :D
