If Chelsea players do not improve I'll bench them and play the kids - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea Manager Jose Mourinho talks to the press at the Chelsea Training Ground on May 2, 2014 in Cobham, England.

Jose Mourinho has delivered a stick attack and warning on the motivation, desire and commitment of his Chelsea players, saying he will bench them and play the kids. 


Mourinho feels the players dont seem motivated enough and warned senior players he would bench them in favour of the club’s young players if they did not improve.  

‘Clearly it’s an attitude perspective of some individuals,’ blasted Mourinho. ‘And when you have individuals with that unstable attitude in terms of motivation, desire and commitment, you will pay.

‘There are two sorts of champions: champions who win something — and there are lots of them — and champions who during their career win one, two, three, four, five, 10 or 20 titles. 

‘It’s difficult to win every season but you can be a serial champion in your approach and attitude. This is the problem we have at this moment. We have champions, but not serial champions. 

‘We are in an open situation. It is difficult to win the Premier League and Champions League, but possible. If the season goes in one direction and becomes closed, and we can’t win, I will go just with the kids. I am ruthless. 

‘I have very good players, players I like as players, and I like their human qualities. It is very good group of guys but “untouchables” in football? Only consistency can give you that status.’
