Jose Mourinho Signs New 4-year Deal With English Champions Chelsea — Football News
Courtois was dismissed after the break for bringing down Bafetimbi Gomis, and the striker converted from the spot past Asmir Begovic to make it 2-2, which is how it stayed.
I wasn’t happy with my medical staff because even if you are a medical doctor or secretary on the bench, you have to understand the game. They also won the League Cup twice and the FA Cup once during his first spell with the team.
A celebratory atmosphere remained around Stamford Bridge as the club basked in the afterglow of last season’s success – a feat Jose Mourinho, fresh from signing a new deal, warned would not be repeated unless they showed the “quality and determination of champions“.
And Mourinho has explained that he wanted to prolong his tenure in West London because he has a strong feeling for Chelsea. They have escaped defeat in the Premier League’s curtain-raiser for 16 successive years, and will be aiming to continue this stunning run against the Swans. “I thought the best chances of the game fell to us – we had some very good chances – and we always looked risky and got the result we deserved”.
“For me, it’s Chelsea again, ahead of Manchester City“. Falcao netted only four goals in 29 appearances for United and he acknowledges it isn’t easy to adapt to the unique challenges of the Premier League.
“We don’t miss Petr”, Mourinho was quoted as saying by the British media.
“I’m not speaking about Everton or Stones”.
“And I don’t know who came up with the idea that one game less at Christmas deserves one week holiday less especially when you have a European Championship after the season“.
Another concern is up front.
“I am not a betting man, but we all feel confident we can go on and achieve something this year”.

On goalkeeper David de Gea, left out amid interest from Real Madrid, Van Gaal added: “He is our best player for the past two seasons, chosen by the fans, so we can’t let him go so easily”.
“I do not want to speak about red cards”, he said, though he could still not resist suggesting Chelsea had been “punished”. I don’t consider that a failure. The second half was worse and Mourinho should really consider himself lucky to have held out for the draw.
“He had a knock, he was very exhausted and my medical department in their impulse were naive and left me with eight outfield players, and in a counter-attack after a set piece we were with two players less”.
