Chelsea football team manager Jose Mourinho has claimed that his side has finally grown the balls that they need to win the Premier League and has called on his squad to prove it against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Last season, Chelsea lost 1-0 at Selhurst Park in March after a John Terry own goal, and Mourinho accused them afterwards of lacking the balls for the fight. But now Mourinho has said that he thinks Chelsea is currently different and they have more personality to impose their game.
Mourinho said that his lesson, in that specific game, was not a lesson, adding that it was one of these games he deserved to lose. He said that when he deserves to lose, he knows why he lost and that does not give him in a lesson as he accepts it in a normal way, The Daily Star reported.
Mourinho also said that it is easy for him to analyse this kind of match, and added that last season Chelsea lost there because Crystal were better than them in every aspect of the game.
Mourinho further added that he does not know if it was their worst performance of the season, but it was a really poor performance.
Mourinho was often criticised last season for slamming his players in public. But he has insisted that he would not shy away from doing it again if needed, even if it comes in the heat of the moment.
The Chelsea boss said that it is part of his job, to try and find the best strategy to get the best out of his players. He said that he loves to praise his players publicly.
