Balancing those professional demands of being a Premiership manager with his
own personality has been one of the toughest challenges Mourinho has had to
face since joining Chelsea.

Speaking at the launch of his autobiography - the open and honest
`Jose Mourinho: Made in Portugal' - the former Porto manager explained how
any difficulties are outweighed by a burning desire to succeed.


'People change with time and experiences. I change every day. I feel I can
improve as a person and a manager in your country and with your football
because it is the best in the world,' he said.


'I am in love with the passion the players have for the game. Maybe I was
lucky to have players like Frank Lampard and John Terry. I think managers
can learn from players. I am open to that.


'I think we can do good things in England. We need to do something special.
For Chelsea to win the Premiership would be something special.


'They did it once in their history, 50 years ago, and if we can do it with
a young team and a manager just arrived in the country, it would be special.
Maybe my next book will be called `Made In England'!'


Mourinho, with the confidence of a manager who has won four of the last five
trophies he has competed for, believes Chelsea are well on their way to
achieving that success.


He wants to face Spanish league leaders Barcelona in the next round of the
Champions League because it is against the biggest names that reputations
are made and points proven - just as he managed with Porto against
Manchester United last season.


'For emotional reasons and because everyone says they are the best in Europe
at the moment, I would like to play Barcelona,' said Mourinho, a former
assistant coach at the Nou Camp.


'In football, top people are never scared. We always want to play against
the big teams, the big managers, players always want to play big players.
We always want these things for our careers.'


Mourinho sensed ahead of that Champions League tie against Manchester United
that Sir Alex Ferguson felt his side would be beaten - and so it proved.


The Chelsea boss has detected a similar nervousness emanating from Old
Trafford this season as United struggle nine points off the top of the table.


'At that time, because Sir Alex Ferguson is a top manager in the world and
intelligent, experienced, he felt and he smelled that `Porto can beat us','
recalledMourinho.


'Today I think he understands he has a great team, great players, and he can
still fight for the championship because nine points in the Premiership is not
too much.


'But at the same time he knows we are strong, we play well, we have ambition
and we have attitude and it will be difficult to catch us.'
