I followed an Italian manager and it cannot be easy when you follow a manager who thinks very differently.
Especially when you play at home, you need a good atmosphere behind you.
But I think it’s more normal for my team to have no success than it is to win two consecutive European cups.
The world is so competitive, aggressive, consumive, selfish and during the time we spend here we must be all but that.
And I think because of the passion of every English player and every English supporter, and every English journalist for the game, most of the game is played with passion, love for football and instinct, but in football you also have to think.
At the very least we should be given a bit of credit and a little bit of space, and maybe the media should think we could help them discover why English teams do not win European competitions.
So if one day the result becomes 3-3, for me it doesn’t change my mind, because it’s football, it’s normal. What is not normal is that we haven’t been scoring enough goals playing such good football as we’ve been playing in the last few weeks.
Look at the way teams play against Arsenal. They don’t believe they can win. They don’t believe.
So I know all about the ups and downs of football, I know that one day I will be sacked.
You see how Spanish, Italians, Portuguese play football. I don’t say they are perfect, I say English football has a few things to learn from them in the same way they have a lot of things to learn from English football.
So when they have Mourinho and Benitez joining the Premiership they should say it’s good for us, maybe these guys have something new to give.
I don’t say we are a defensive team. I say we are a strong team in defensive terms, but at the same time lacking sufficient fluidity in attack because that will take time to come.
When I face the media, maybe I don’t feel it now, here with you, because it’s a different sort of interview, but when I face the media before or after the game, I feel it as part of the game.
I think boring is a team that plays at home and can not score a goal.
The problem with Chelsea is I lack a striker. I have Samuel Eto’o but he is 32 years old – maybe 35, who knows?
You don’t have to love me. You don’t even have to like me, but you will respect me.
For Chelsea, I would turn down every job in the world.
Would you phone the president of Ghana?
As we say in Portugal, they brought the bus and they left the bus in front of the goal.
If at the end of the season I’m leaving the club, you have the right to come to me and say: ‘Jose, you are a liar’
