four trophies this season despite his side's poor start.
Jose Mourinho is refusing to prioritise Europe over the Premier
League, boldly claiming Chelsea could still win the quadruple
this season.
Chelsea remain in all four competitions but have endured a
terrible start to the new campaign, trailing leaders Manchester
City by 10 points after losing four of their nine league games.
However, the Portuguese manager is remaining defiant in the
face of criticism ahead of Chelsea's Group G clash against
Dynamo Kiev.
"When you prioritise in this league, you have a big risk, which is
the risk of not winning the Champions League and not finishing
top four, and not playing Champions League the next season,”
Mourinho said.
"So, we cannot prioritise in this league. We have to go all the
way and ensure we finish top four."
Pressure on the 52-year-old eased slightly after a 2-0 home win
over Aston Villa and Mourinho is refusing to rule out an
unprecedented trophy haul.
"We can win all four [competitions], we can lose all four. I think
it is possible, but I think it’s also possible to lose all four.
Everything is open. We are in October," he said.
"For us, it depends on other teams, depends on other results.
We don’t depend on ourselves, we depend on what happens
also in other matches and other teams."
