Jose Mourinho says winning at Chelsea is easy, using himself, Ancelotti and Conte as examples.
Mourinho has tried to put pressure on Tuchel praising Chelsea’s players and squad.
The Portuguese added that winning the Premier League is the real test and that PSG are on a different level to rest of the French league.
“I don’t think it’s very difficult to coach at Chelsea because I was champion three times, Carlo Ancelotti was champion, Antonio Conte was champion,” Mourinho said in is pre-match press conference.
“It cannot be very, very difficult because we won titles there. Chelsea always have great players and great squads and good coaches are happy to work with these clubs and with players who give you a very good opportunity to be successful and win titles.
“In my case, I was there in two different periods and I was champion in two different periods.”
Mourinho also took a subtle dig at Tuchel’s two Ligue 1 titles with PSG, saying, “I am not talking about Thomas, the French league is a very competitive league — apart from PSG because they play in a different league. The biggest challenge for a coach is to work in the best leagues.
“Our league is the most challenging one. He was coming from a league that you cannot compare with the Premier League but he is used to working with players of high calibre, used to important players. He will fit well in a club like Chelsea.”
Jose Mourinho and Thomas Tuchel will face off for the first time as Chelsea take on Tottenham on Thursday looking to continue to push for a Top 4 spot.
It’s incredible how little time it takes Jose Mourinho to start indulging in mind games but hopefully Tuchel can shut him up with a statement win.
