No problems with Abramovich – Mourinho

Chelsea regained the Premier League trophy with such ease that Jose Mourinho felt his team’s achievement did not get the recognition it deserved.

Sat in a small room overlooking the Emirates’ impeccable pitch, Cazorla’s smile and charisma are infectious.

“It’s disappointing to lose, of course, because it’s the first trophy of the season, but it’s gone now”.

“I don’t think it’s down to different training methods, it’s just down to him to keep at the top physically and with his experience he will always improve”.

Bobby’s dad Shear, 44, was filming players celebrating their victory on the podium when Mourinho gifted the medal to his son.

Yet, based on their own personal recent record and that of Community Shield winners in the Premier League, a title success is not as likely as some will be predicting.

Mourinho also fired a warning at Richard Scudamore after the Premier League chief executive said English clubs would not be given favourable fixture scheduling to aid their Champions League ambitions. I believe if you want to create success you have to focus on the inside and do as well as we can.

Stoke and Swansea City will hope to build on impressive campaigns, while Palace, Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland finished last season dreaming of better things after successful managerial changes. Arsenal on the other hand substituted key player to prevent possible injury and for rest after he played his heart out in Chile during the Copa America leading his team to glory recently.

“I was surprised by [Chelsea boss] Jose Mourinho because he really doesn’t do that”, Flamini said.

The Portuguese coach did not shake hands with counterpart Arsene Wenger after Arsenal collected their medals.

With Costa limping off, and Cahill’s face gushing blood, both players appeared to be doubtful for the annual curtain raiser against Arsenal at Wembley on Sunday.

The 30-year-old’s improvement as a player and flexibility to play in a number of positions has partly been down to a man he once thought of as something of a divine being.

Goalkeeper Petr Cech, making his full debut for Arsenal against his former team after transferring from Chelsea during the offseason, then made his only hard save in the 68th when he punched away Oscar’s free kick at the near post.

“It’s disappointing because it hasn’t happened too many times since I have been at the club”.
