Jose Mourinho: Chelsea Finally Found The Right Balance

Chelsea's lead in the Premier League after it defeated West Ham proved that the team has mastered the right balance after a series of performance and training experimentations in the past seasons, according to Chelsea FC's manager, Jose Mourinho. During Chelsea's game against West Ham, it was very impressive how John Terry and Diego Costa paved the way for the team to score all three points that made the team win against West Ham. It cannot be denied how Costa and Terry assisted for Chelsea FC captain to drive home a clear win. Currently, Chelsea FC captain holds a 60-career goal record following their win against West Ham.

The right balance that Chelsea found according to the team's manager Jose Mourinho is the team's defensive stability mixed with attacking fluidity. These two have become Chelsea's core weapon, which is a weapon that Chelsea has been looking after all this time. Now that the team has found it, the manager's pretty sure that it is the right balance that they need, which also made them enjoy the top slot in the Premier League to date.

To compare Chelsea's performances over the last years, Mourinho said that while the team was very strong on their defence and very well organized, they lacked creativity before, an element of their gameplay that could have had made their performances great ever since they started. Mourinho has since recognizing what's lacking in the team, wants to bring out that creativity and dynamism. The challenge faced by the Chelsea manager is to implement and push this creativity on the team without losing the team's good defensive qualities.

The Chelsea manager pretty well noted how the idea of creativity and good defence seemed not to come into harmony with each other. Now, the team has found the right balance of these two elements. Chelsea intends to keep this balance all throughout every match.

Before, Chelsea may have a good kick at defending the ball but when the ball is on their side, the team does not handle it very well. Today, the manager is proud to say that they are a better team now when the ball is with them.
