Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho
admitted his side are not yet “strong enough” to take a stranglehold on the
Premier League.
The Stamford Bridge outfit sits in third position
on the table, just outside the Champions League spots, and is two points
adrift of leaders Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Chelsea sit only third in Group E of
the Champions League after opening the account on the continent with a just one
victory from two games.
And Mourinho fears any more dropped points could
prove fatal to his young side and their attempts to claim silverware this
season.
“We need to be more consistent,” Mourinho said.
“If you see the position of Chelsea in the last leagues and the difference of
points from Chelsea to the champions, you can imagine that even with a magic
click - that I don't have - it's not easy to recover 20 points. It's more than
one click.
“For a club like us it's not good to be 15, 20
points behind.
“I don't think we are strong enough at this
moment to have that kind of run of victory, victory, victory.
“We will, for sure, we will. In this moment I
don't think we are.”
And Mourinho believes the club needs to
rediscover the winning culture that made his first spell at the club such a
success before they can again dominate in all competitions.
“I had a team of players in the best moment,
potentially, of their career,” Mourinho said of his first spell as boss. “I
needed a click to make them believe. At this moment in terms of building a
team, the task is different.
“We need to win seven matches 1-0, not win one
match 7-0 and lose the other six, or lose points.
“This is the kind of mentality that you have to
build. And it's much more difficult.
“I keep saying the day I lose a match and go home
with a smile on my face, goodbye. Finished.
“We know we cannot win every game. We know we
cannot win every competition, but we have to play every game of every
competition to win.
“If you do that and you lose, don't go (home)
with a smile on your face, but you'll sleep fine. Because you'll know you had
the right approach, you gave everything.
“The opponent won because the opponent was better
than you and that is something you have to accept without being a drama. The
right mentality we have to find.”
