While addressing the media ahead of Sunday’s trip to West
Bromwich Albion, Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho has disclosed that Super Eagles’
star, Victor Moses is injured and will not be part of the team to face Brown
Ideye’s West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
- On Moses and Oscar injury:
Moses is still injured and Oscar is still injured. I don’t
know if the new players are available for Sunday yet.
- On Thibaut Courtois available again following his one-match suspension:
I’m so happy with Begovic’s performance (at Manchester
City), he showed what we have, but we’ll go back to Courtois.
- On his reaction to last weekend’s result against Manchester City:
We normally train very well but this week we trained better
than ever. Why? Because we are not happy. I’m not happy with the results and
the players are not happy with the results. We want to do better and there is
only one way, which is to work well and better than ever, which we did this
week.
- Do we have to improve?
Obviously, always, but we are calm.
Not happy but calm. We need to be unhappy because that feeling makes you work,
but to be calm is important.
- On competing and beating Man Utd to sign Pedro:
I only want to beat Man United on the pitch. I don't want to
go in that direction. Our job is not to get a player another club wants.
- On his new players, Pedro and Baba which was recently signed:
New players are always welcome so obviously I’m happy both
of them have come to us. I know the Premier League doesn’t start tomorrow, it
started two weeks ago, but people call it the transfer window and I sometimes
call it the opportunity window. While the window is open there is always an
opportunity.
It’s dangerous because every team can lose players at a
moment when nobody wants to, but at the same time it’s an opportunity to get
players until the last moment and this week we got a very good, young left-back
that we needed, with potential we believe can be developed, and we got one of
the best attacking players in the world, a player with lots of experience and
with something I really like very much, which is the desire to leave a giant
club, one of the best clubs in the world, a club that normally players don’t
want to leave.
For a player like him, who is loved by the club and who
loves the club, he wanted to leave because he wants something more for his
career. That’s evidence of his ambition.
