Jose Mourinho: I don’t see Chelsea finishing in top two

Jose Mourinho has started the mind game against Chelsea after saying he does not believe his former side can finish the season in the top two.

Mourinho’s comments come ahead of Tottenham’s anticipated clash against Chelsea this weekend.

“I don’t believe in them to finish top two, but I believe very seriously for them to finish top four,” Mourinho further submitted,£ he said.

But while reacting to Chelsea’s current Premier League run, the 56-year-old manager showered some sweet affection but admitted that Lampard’s young machines are far behind in the title race.

“I think fantastic work. The kids coming into the team are fitting amazingly well with the top class players like Willian and Kante,” Mourinho.

“I think really, really great work by Frank. But they lost twice against United, they lost against Liverpool at home.”

“I’m curious to see if they found that great empathy between the good football they play and the pragmatism that the top teams must have to play against top teams. “When they find that I think they have a great team for the future.
