The seemingly invincible Chelsea FC look set to record their second consecutive Premiership soccer title after a convincing 2-0 defeat of Liverpool FC.
Now 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League, Chelsea barring catastrophe will be champions again. This is in no small way due to their enigmatic manager Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese master tactician has instilled a belief of invincibility in his team that is rarely seen.
Many fans of English football may point to the fact that Mourinho has spent vast amounts of his Chairman’s money to attain this position, but that is not the reason for Chelsea’s success. The credit must go to Mourinho, the man they call «The Special One». He continues to make the correct selections, and more importantly, his interventions from the sidelines are rarely innefective. He is the consummate professional.
Chelsea seem set to embark on a domination of the English game, and as long as Mourinho is in charge, they will continue to set the benchmark. Whether they can go on to dominate the European tournaments in the same way is a question soon to be answered, they certainly have the talent and the right man at the helm, but Europe is difficult to conquer.
The forthcoming Champions league games are awaited with baited breath…
