“Confidence comes with results, and results bring all the good quality that the players have to the fore”, Mourinho said.
Mourinho on Friday confirmed he had received the FA’s written reasons and will appeal.
“I think it’s different for many reasons, and I think it’s different since the moment I came back in 2013 when I had my first conversation with the owner and the board”. “I was objective in my sadness at the situation”. “It is the people”.
“I have to be honest with myself, that’s the most important thing”, Mourinho said. A £50,000 fine is an absolute disgrace and the possibility of a stadium ban is absolutely astonishing.

“In my approach every game is a must-win”. “We have to know that, probably a few of the fans… the fans are not happy”, Mourinho said. Let us know in the comment section below. Before the statement came out, I was having the feedback from the owner and the board. The 52-year-old Mourinho, whose book chronicles in pictures his 15 years in management, said: “I’m in the middle (of my career): I did 15, I have 15 more to do”.

One person notably absent from the worldwide scene was Diego Costa.
Mourinho also had another dig at Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger – without naming the Gunners boss.

The Special One has shown no mercy to Nemanja Matic, the sub who suffered the ignominy of being subbed against Southampton a fortnight ago, with youth in the formidable shape of Ruben Loftus-Cheek finally afforded an opportunity stamp his authority on this Chelsea side.
