In recent weeks, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been adamant that his team have no chance of winning the Premier League title this season, and insists that Manchester City and Arsenal are the two main contenders.
However, a source close to the club has revealed that this is in fact a cover-up and Mourinho has in fact told his players that they will win the league this season and has told them to ignore everything he says in the press.
Now top of the table after beating Newcastle United 3-0, Mourinho still seemed to play down their title chances, but all has been revealed on the Portuguese’s plan.
A senior Blues source said: “Jose told the players before the West Ham game that they would hear him talk down their title chances.
“He told them to pay no attention because his intention was to take the pressure off the team and put others under the microscope.
“He also told the players that he believes they will be champions this season.”
