Mourinho: Good feeling
Jose Mourinho praised the performance of your computer after a hard fought 3-2 away win against Hull City, a victory that gives us six points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
The Blues took the lead in a minute courtesy of a stunning strike Eden Hazard and it was better to come when Diego Costa scored his 20th goal of the season to make it 2-0 soon after.
Two goals in the space of a minute, however, marked by Ahmed Al-Muhammadi and Abel Hernandez, viewed Casco restore parity, and always going to have a second half of the screen encouraged to return to London with three points.
We reacted well after the break and was facing a large part of the medium with the winner coming in the 77th minute that Loic Remy substitute, with his first touch after coming scored the decisive goal and feel that Mourinho won with merit.
"We let go the initiative, but we played fantastic with the ball from the first minute of football," said the head of the blue. "When at halftime was 2-2 and want to win the game, the most important thing is to play as we did from the beginning, that's what I said to the players. No analysis of sensor data and error. We had to return playing football we have lost in the last 15 minutes the first time.
"From the first minute of the second half, we turn to the quality of football, the creation and movement. Sooner or later, the goal was to come.
"In the second half we played was a difficult situation in the rest when Thibaut had to make three stops in the second. After that we created and tested everything, so I think we deserved.
"If we win the game after the way we played, we had the same feeling Southampton. Today, gaining what we deserve and it's a good feeling."
Mourinho acknowledged Hull’s second goal was a collective mistake defensively
‘If we tell our goalkeeper every time he has a back pass to kick it in the stands the second goal wouldn’t happen but we don’t do that. He tried to play, lost the rebound, the defenders didn’t open a passing line to play from the back and it’s a goal. Everybody was unhappy. It was just a question of stability, emotional control and playing.’
He explained why Diego Costa was taken off late on
‘It’s a hamstring injury. When a striker is playing, the team needs a goal to win the game and he says it’s over for him, it’s over. He tried to play the Champions League final with Atletico and was injured, he has that fragility, we know his hamstring is not a strong one. He works hard in the week to compensate for the weakness he has there but the injury can come. We have Remy and Drogba, we never cry about injured players so let’s move on.’
Mourinho praised the impact of Remy
"Every time he plays he is there. Probably deserves more than what I gave you. Sometimes a coach can feel that owes something to a player and Rémy, which is the case. I think I have something every time you play, gives us much, I'm very happy for him because he deserves it. "
The Portuguese remains confident his team can go on to win the title
"It is expected that the race for the title to be higher in normal Chelsea should have eight, ten or twelve points we have, but football is unpredictable. The reality is that we have a lead of six points better than we had in the throughout season. The maximum distance we had was eight points, but at that time we had 20 games to play. we now have a lead of six points with a game that could help us or not. I'm pretty confident, I believe in my players, I think we can do it, but I know it's hard. "
