LONDON, July 21: Jose Mourinho has warned that nothing can stop Chelsea from recapturing the Premier League title from Manchester United next season. Mourinho buried the hatchet with Roman Abramovich during clear-the-air talks with the Blues owner and Russian billionaire in London last week. And he declared on Friday that Chelsea are united as they turn their minds to reclaiming the crown.

“I’m happy with the club and happy with the structure. I’m happy with the support and communication and my players are fantastic,” he told the club’s official website. “I don’t want to communicate with people outside my club. I don’t want to because I don’t need to send messages to my club through the press.

“The communication at this moment is fantastic. In my club, everything is perfect. Me and the people outside, I simply just don’t care. I’m not interested.”

Mourinho, who is preparing Chelsea for the last match of their pre-season tour to America against LA Galaxy on Saturday, is convinced he will bring more silverware to Stamford Bridge.“I’m optimistic. I won trophies in the last five years of my career, so not occasionally. This happens for some reason, and I think we’re going in the same direction,” he said. “We always have two big competitions, the Premiership and Champions League. The cups in England are very important too.”

England midfielder Joe Cole, who spent long spells of last season in the treatment room with knee and foot injuries, believes Chelsea’s big names must perform if United are to be deposed.—AFP
