It is a big match because Chelsea are champions: Mourinho

CAIRO – 3 November 2017: Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho focused in helping his team to win against Chelsea on Sunday.

"It is a big match; a match between top teams in the country... It is a big match because they are champions. But from an emotional point of view, it is just one game," Mourinho told a news conference on Thursday.

"It is normal... It is football life. One day you are in one club; the next day you are in another... In four or five years, no one will remember I was Chelsea manager," he said.
"I played there with Inter, twice with United," added Mourinho, whose treble-winning Inter Milan ground out 2-1 and 1-0 wins. "I have to admit it is a little bit different. In the end, I want to win like I did with Inter."

"Similar performances for other clubs are magic, or examples of brilliant tactics and amazing attitudes by the players. For other teams, the same kind of performance becomes conservative; negative," he continued.

"As an example, Tottenham beat Liverpool 4-1 and Real Madrid 3-1. They didn't score against Manchester United. A bit of credit that my players deserve," he said.
