The problem with Chelsea is I lack a striker. I have Samuel Eto'o but he is 32 years old - maybe 35, who knows?

More quotes by Jose Mourinho
I studied Italian five hours a day for many months to ensure I could communicate with the players, media and fans. [Claudio] Ranieri had been in England for five years and still struggled to say 'good morning' and 'good afternoon.'
Jose Mourinho
The way I use to develop an aerobic condition is three against three, man to man, in a square 20 metres by 20.
Jose Mourinho
A great pianist doesn't run around the piano or do push ups with his fingers. To be great, he plays the piano. ...being a footballer is not about running, push-ups or physical work generally. The best way to be a great footballer is to play.
Jose Mourinho
Everybody was waiting for Chelsea not to win every game and one day when we lose there will be a holiday in the country. But we are ready for that.
Jose Mourinho
Ronaldinho is better than Cristiano Ronaldo, but neither are as good as Leo Messi. He holds numerous records, such as the most goals scored in a single La Liga season and the most goals scored in a calendar year. I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. He has everything. We must protect him.
Jose Mourinho
In five years I have never had a match where my team has had less possession than the opponents.
Jose Mourinho
Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one.
Jose Mourinho
The best way to stop Messi is when you play with 11 men and then you can double mark him, one player to stay on him and the other to help out. If it is 11 against 10 then you have almost no chance of stopping him.
Jose Mourinho
I always think there's our age in ID terms but then there's our real age because for me the real age is not the age on your ID. That's just a date when you were born. The real age, the real ID is your body, your brain, your attitude.
Jose Mourinho
I hate to speak about individuals. Players don't win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies.
Jose Mourinho
Do you have a brother or cousin in Ivory Coast, because I don't have the money to bring you to Porto.
Jose Mourinho
If I wanted to have an easy job, working with the big protection of what I have already done before, I would have stayed at Porto - beautiful blue chair, the Uefa Champions League trophy, God, and after God, me.
Jose Mourinho
It is like having a blanket that is too small for the bed, you pull the blanket up to keep your chest warm, and your feet stick out. I cannot buy a bigger blanket because the supermarket is closed. But the blanket I have is made of cashmere. So it's good.
Jose Mourinho
You don't have to love me. You don't even have to like me, but you will respect me.
Jose Mourinho
Ranieri? He's right in what he says: I am very demanding of myself and I need to win to be secure about things. That's why I've won so many trophies in my career. He, on the other hand, has the mentality of someone who doesn't need to win and at nearly 70 years old he has won a Supercoppa and another small cup. He's too old to change his mindset.
Jose Mourinho
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.
Jose Mourinho
Fear is not a word in my football documentary.
Jose Mourinho
A player who dives and wins a penalty in Portugal, or Spain or Italy is considered clever, experienced, cunning, someone who understands the game. In England a player who wins a penalty like that is a cheat.
Jose Mourinho
Four wins in four matches. It could not be better... the world is fantastic.
Jose Mourinho
The moral of the story is not to listen to those who tell you not to play the violin but stick to the tambourine.
