Chelsea promise to keep up Premier League pressure
Fri 3 December, 2004 16:18 By Clare Lovell
HARLINGTON, England, Dec 3 (Reuters) - With the prospect of a first English
title for 50 years and a fit, finely tuned squad competing for starting spots,
Chelsea are in no danger of becoming complacent, assistant manager Steve Clarke
said.
The London side qualified for the second round of the Champions League with two
games to spare, have reached the semi-finals of the League Cup and are five
points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Clarke says manager Jose Mourinho will not be allowing his expensively
assembled squad to feel secure when they meet Newcastle on Saturday, however.
"We don't feel complacent at all. We can't afford to be complacent. That comes
all the way from the top," Clarke said after training on Friday.
"It's nice to be at the top. It's a good feeling and we want to keep that
feeling. We believe we can stay there but you've still got to go out every
week, every match and win."
Clarke said keeping the squad of top international talent happy when many of
them did not play regularly was vital.
"We work at team spirit. You have to show you believe in them and trust them.
(Mourinho) makes all the players feel important," Clarke said.
"He's come in very confident. He's got a track record to back it up so players
believe in him."
Mourinho took Porto to two league titles and UEFA Cup and Champions League
glory in successive seasons before joining Chelsea in June.
Chelsea meet his old club on Tuesday in the Champions League in Portugal before
preparing for a showdown with second-placed Arsenal in the Premier League the
following Sunday.
Clarke said Chelsea were aiming to put a little extra pressure on the champions
with Saturday's early kickoff. A win would put them eight points in front for a
couple of hours at least.
The Scot, who spent two years at Newcastle under Ruud Gullit and Bobby Robson,
said Chelsea's mean defence that had conceded only six goals in 15 Premier
League games, would be the key.
"We will have to be very strong defensively," he said.
