Jose Mourinho: 'The focus is on Chelsea

Mourinho: 'Focus is on Chelsea'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that the fans' affection should turn towards focusing on the team.

The Portuguese was giving a rousing reception as he returned to the Stamford Bridge dugout this afternoon.

He admits that he enjoyed the crowd's response to him, but now wants the focus to be on his players.

"It was fantastic," Mourinho told Sky Sports News. "It is something you don't forget. It makes me think I made the right move by coming back, I am one of them (the fans), but I think it is enough.

"I need my team to be supported. I need them to sing my players' names, I need them to push Chelsea all the way. Enough Mourinho and come on Chelsea.

"I know they love me, that is one of the reasons that I am back, but now it is my time to work for them and for them to support the team."

Chelsea beat Hull City 2-0 in this afternoon's game.
