”We Want to Win the Next Ten EPL Tittles” Mourinho Warns Rivals

Jose Mourinho has warned Chelsea’s title rivals that his revamped squad is ready to sustain a challenge for the next 10 years.

The Special One has spent around £60million drafting in Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas and defender Filipe Luis, with Blues legend Didier Drogba also returning on a free.

Mourinho also has Eden Hazard, 23, and Oscar, 22, about to enter their third seasons, while Andre Schurrle, 23, is fresh from winning the World Cup.

Mourinho said: “It’s a squad for tomorrow, for next season and also a squad with big possibilities for the next five, 10 years with so many young people so I like my squad very much.

“There is no manager in the world that has the perfect squad. No manager that says ‘My squad is perfect’ or couldn’t improve in certain positions.

“The only thing I can say is that I like very much the squad. The club was fantastic because it gave me the three targets I was asking, in the left-back, a midfield player and a striker.

“In fact, it gave me two strikers because Didier is also back. So we have the squad that we want to have, we don’t say it’s perfect, we don’t say it’s the best, we say we like very much our squad.”

Mourinho also believes that having lost Luis Suarez, the English game should share Chelsea’s joy at landing Costa in particular, following his £32million switch from Atletico Madrid.

Chelsea begin their bid to reclaim the Premier League crown at Burnley on Monday.
