Chelsea boss Mourinho: I can't keep everyone happy
|
Jose Mourinho knows it is "impossible" to keep all of his Chelsea stars happy but relishes the fact rivals are desperate for the Blues to fail.
Damien Duff revealed on Monday the driving force behind his £5million move to Newcastle was the lack of first-team opportunities at Stamford Bridge.
"It's not easy coaching so many top players. I can't say that every player is happy because at the end of the season, we have players who want to leave," he told the New York Times.
"They don't want to leave to go to a better club, they want to leave because they want to be more happy in football and that means playing more.
"It's impossible to keep everyone happy. This year we will have 20 players on the squad and with a smaller squad, I think everyone feels useful."
He added: "Everyone is waiting for Chelsea to fail. It's a great motivation for us. We have signed new players not because we need them to make us champions.
"It's not a question of money for the club or for the players. It's a different kind of mission, a new life challenge."
