CHELSEA MANAGER JOSE Mourinho says he “does not believe” in an unbeaten season and is confident his team will lost at least once in the league this season.
The Blues kept up their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a 2-1 victory against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday lunchtime, coming from behind thanks to goals from Gary Cahill and Diego Costa, making it 11 games without a loss.
Many have suggested that Mourinho’s side could emulate Arsenal’s ‘Invincible’ season from 2003-04, but the Portuguese is not convinced.
“If this is the Spanish league or the German league, and you have two teams fighting it out, to be 15 points behind it would be over,” he told reporters. “But this is England, and you can lose points every match.
“I think its possible to be champions but in modern football and the Premier League I do not believe in an unbeaten season. The defeat will arrive.”
On his side’s performance on Merseyside, he added: “I think it was a fantastic performance. It was an expression of our ambition, especially in the second half,. Every team would accept a point as a good result but we didn’t accept that. It’s three important points but sometimes you don’t deserve them. Today that was not the case and the best team won. Every player was fantastic.
“When they scored it was a not a drama for me or the team. We carried on playing well.”
