Mourinho: It’s about teams, not special ones

The Blues are seven points clear at the top of the Premier League with eight games remaining and Mourinho is on course to win the title for a third time.

“In this moment football is losing a little bit the concept of the team to focus more on the individual,” Mourinho said. “We are always looking at the individual performance, the individual stat, the player that runs more. Because you run 11km in a game and I run nine you did a better job than I did? Maybe not! Maybe my 9km were more important than your 11.”
