Jose Mourinho: 'Current Chelsea crop can be better than 2005 side'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho describes the Blues team that won the 2005 Premier League title as 'completely different' to the current crop.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has described the Blues team that won the 2005 Premier League title as 'completely different' to the current side.

The 52-year-old led the West London outfit to the championship 10 years ago as they finished 12 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal and conceded just 15 goals all season.

When asked by Sky Sports News to comment on the two teams, he replied: "I refuse to compare a team that won everything with a team that has won nothing. But I think if we have the chance to win then we have the potential to play more beautifully than the other team.

"The only similarity is the oxygen we breathe in the dressing room and the relationship between the players and the manager and the players and the assistants.

"After that the profile of the team is completely different. Now we try to control the game by having the ball and having more possession."

Chelsea are currently five points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
