Yet more to come from Chelsea this season: Jose Mourinho
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho warned there is even more to come from his in-form side.
LONDON: (AFP) - Chelsea may already be six points clear at the Premier League summit, but manager Jose Mourinho warned on Friday that there is even more to come from his in-form side.
The west London club has made an unbeaten start to the 2014-15 campaign and visit Sunderland in this weekend s round of matches having taken 32 points from a possible 36.
They have also transferred their outstanding domestic form to Europe, with a crushing 5-0 mid-week victory away to Schalke securing a place in the knockout stages of the Champions League as group winners.
Mourinho s side are being tipped to go through the entire Premier League season unbeaten, while a major British bookmaker has already paid out on them being crowned champions.
But the manager believes his side is still at the development stage and is not yet the finished article. "I m sure, yes, there is much more to come," Mourinho told his weekly media conference.
"This is a young team with lots of young players. I have two more years of contract to work with them. They want to stay in the club; I want to stay in the club. We have a lot ahead of us. "This team has all the conditions to be better. But, all the other factors that can affect us negatively -- except complacency -- are part of the game. "I am so experienced in this life that I m not over the moon when I win, and I m not in Hell when I lose. Balance. The players follow me in this.
"We are not jumping every day, or crying every day when things go wrong. We are very stable."
Mourinho is convinced his players will not allow complacency to creep into the changing room despite their dominant start to the campaign.
And he highlighted the efforts of Eden Hazard -- criticised by the manager towards the end of last season for failing to put the team s interests before his own -- in the Schalke game to illustrate the team s resolve.
