José Mourinho on Chelsea v Benfica, assures Londoners: I have what it takes

Benfica travels this Monday to London, on the eve of the clash with Chelsea , counting for the Champions League, where the eagles will have an important reinforcement . José Mourinho took advantage of his return 'home' to make some statements to 'Stan Sport', where he talked about his expectations on returning to the city and the club where he spent a large part of his life.

" To give you an idea, my son is going to the game and he's walking from home. That's how close we are to the Stadium. When we're at home, we know the result just by the noise. So, it really is a return home," began José Mourinho.

Next, the coach of Benfica praised the achievements he had achieved at the helm of the emblem he now faces in the Champions League: " It's a stadium where I won three Premier Leagues. I made history with Chelsea . Chelsea belongs to my history and I belong to Chelsea's history. It's football. They want to win and I want to win".

Finally, José Mourinho showed himself completely capable of blocking any feelings that might arise during the match due to his history with Chelsea , focusing on the game: "Before and after the game, I will realize where I am. During, I have the ability to forget and compete ".
