Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, has admitted his side have no chance of going the whole season unbeaten.
The Blues have so far enjoyed a solid start, failing to lose any of their first 13 games in the Premier League, including results against; Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Everton, but despite all the ‘unbeaten talk’, Mourinho insists his team cannot go the full distance.
Many pundits have suggested this Chelsea side are just as good as the Arsenal side that achieved the feat back in 2003/2004, but Mourinho doesn’t think it’s possible.
He said: “One thing is that I don’t think it’s possible (to complete a season unbeaten). The other thing is that we are not playing for that.
“If (against Spurs) we have a 0-0 with 20 minutes to go, we are not going to play for the 0-0 to be undefeated after 21 matches. No way.
“If you play for that, if that is one objective, maybe you draw so many matches, you don’t take risks to try and win matches. You are happy just to be undefeated.
“If you get 10 draws, you get 10 points. If you win five and lose five, you make 15 points.
“We are going to play matches to win. And, sometimes, we will lose.
“I’d prefer 15 points and lost matches than 10 points and being undefeated.”
