Mourinho: We are ready Jose Mourinho believes last season’s 6-0 win over Arsenal, our opponents later today at Stamford Bridge, proves just how unpredictable football, and the Premier League in particular, can be. The Blues recorded an emphatic victory against Arsene Wenger’s side last March, racing into a 4-0 lead before half-time. We head into todays game top of the Barclays Premier League table and having played our opening nine matches of the season without defeat. I don’t need to wake myself up, said Mourinho. I’m ready and the players are ready. There is a bit of emotion that comes early to your body and brain, you want the game. In football anything is possible. You can try to reduce the unpredictability of the game but it’s still unpredictable. The Blues boss also provided an insight into his first meeting with Cesc Fabregas over the summer, as the Chelsea midfielder prepares to face the club he captained prior to his switch to Spain. We spoke about football, the Chelsea project, where I want him to play, the way I want to transform my team, Mourinho recalls. He was really happy to join us. I contacted my club and they were so fast and strong doing things, which I wasn’t expecting. Normally these things take time but my club were fantastic. I told him you can play here or there, this is the way we want to develop the team, there is no way with me you will play as a fake number nine, outside right or outside left. What I care about is his quality as a player and what he gives to the team, and Cesc is doing so well for us.
