Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has told England midfielder Joe Cole he would
be "stupid" to change a winning side just to satisfy the player's hunger for
first-team football.
Mourinho believes the festive fixtures will present Cole with another chance
in the first XI and insists he will not be allowed to quit the club.
Cole has not played for the first team since October and there has been
renewed speculation over his future at Stamford Bridge.
Spurs are among a cluster of clubs said to be interested in talking to
Chelsea about his services when the transfer window opens next month.
But Cole went public to say he wanted to stay on Thursday - and Mourinho
has assured him his chance will come again.
"He will have his chance. I am happy he wants to stay and he is ready to
fight for a place here," said the Blues boss.
"It is the same feeling I have. Before he came out and said that, we had
a conversation where I told him there was no chance of him leaving. I told
him not to even think about it. I need everybody.
"He is a good player, he works very well and has a lot of ambition. But I
also said to him that at the moment the team is winning, the team is playing
very well and I would be stupid if I changed the team too much.
"I have Arjen Robben and Damien Duff playing in his position and it has
been difficult for Joe to get a place - but I need to rotate players and
he will have chances.
"He has already won six points for us with goals against Liverpool and
Birmingham. We trust the boy and his chance will arrive."
Mourinho knows he will have to rotate his squad even more over Christmas
but heand his players are ready for the challenge.
"We are ready," he said. "The game against Norwich and Aston Villa is no
problem because we have one week between them.
"But after that we play Liverpool, Portsmouth and two games against
Manchester United in the Carling Cup, so it is a busy January. The rotation
will be good for the players because in January they will feel there is
chance for everybody."
一切都是為各項冠軍邁進
大家都會有機會上場發揮
羅馬不是只靠11個人造成
