Mourinho used a similar training approach at Chelsea, personally setting up cones and going through sessions with his notepad and clipboard alongside his coaches. This hands-on approach and hard work helped Chelsea achieve an impressive 95 points and conceding just 15 goals in a top-flight triumph.
There is speculation about Arteta’s Arsenal winning the Premier League, but Mourinho questions their ability to overcome Manchester City’s strength. Mourinho expressed happiness for Arteta’s success and recalled his own strategy at Chelsea, which was based on defensive play and stability.
He mentioned the need for defensive compactness and how his team would play with five or six central defenders on the pitch.
